119: This trajectory...

Under the complex gazes of the waiter and the henchman, Cheng Zhen collected all the coins on the table.

Although he won without any surprises or dangers, Cheng Zhen was not too satisfied.

Because the return did not match the effort.

To ensure victory, Cheng Zhen brought out two survivors, namely Number 2 and Number 4.

In previous summons, Cheng Zhen found that even if they were all characters from advertisements, their intelligence levels varied.

The customers in [Flavors of Huaguo] were a bit dull, only able to follow basic commands. However, the survivors in [Endless Cold] could chop wood, hunt, build, shoot… especially Buster, who was surprisingly smart.

After taking the survivors' plush coats, Cheng Zhen didn't spare the people themselves and brought them along too.

The first round of cards was won, and the two survivors were also eliminated.

Advertisements refresh every few tens of seconds, so Cheng Zhen wasn't worried about not having accomplices to cheat. However, frequently using skills to summon people was quite taxing on his mental energy, especially since survivors consumed more mana than other advertisements.

It wasn't impossible to just stand still and recover mana, but the efficiency of earning only 5 coins per game with two protectors for one player was simply too low.

Cheng Zhen toyed with the coins in his hand, pondering how to earn faster.

"You won so quickly? As expected of Guangzi Ge, truly impressive!"

Xiao Jiao poked his head out from behind and gave Cheng Zhen a thumbs up.

"You're back so soon?" Cheng Zhen asked, puzzled. "Those two haven't played yet?"

It couldn't be that they won even faster than him, could it?

"No, that's not it." Xiao Jiao shook his head. "Mainly, I've already seen the other person's skill, so I came directly to tell you. It'll be convenient when you face him later."

Cheng Zhen's interest was piqued when he heard that.

He used it so quickly? Could it be some kind of cheating skill?

Then he heard Xiao Jiao say: "The other person's skill is related to firearms!"

A skill related to firearms? Cheng Zhen didn't interrupt Xiao Jiao and continued to listen to him.

"That guy's luck doesn't seem to be very good. After failing the card challenge, his first shot went off."

Xiao Jiao shook his head and said, "But unfortunately, he didn't die."

"Because…"

"His bullet trajectory was off to the left!"

"That person, of course, knew his own skill, so he deliberately shot from a distance."

"The gun fired, but it didn't kill him at all!"

The waiter next to them was stunned.

"They gave him another gun, but it was useless; the bullet trajectory was still off to the left!"

"It seems that no matter which gun he uses, the bullets he fires are all off! And they're incredibly off!"

The NPCs also gained some insight.

It was the first time they encountered a gun barrel that was normal, but the bullets shot out in a diagonal line.

"...Then, what was the reaction of the waiter and the henchman afterwards?" Cheng Zhen asked.

Xiao Jiao shrugged: "What reaction could NPCs have? If the challenge fails, you have to shoot, regardless of whether that guy died or not, just whether the shot was fired."

"They're still playing at their table now, it's just that the others at the table are already crying and begging God to make their bullet trajectories also off to the left…"

Cheng Zhen: ...Alright then.

It must be said that Boss William's rules were really well taught. If he said shoot, they shot, and no henchman thought it was wrong to give him a knife instead.

Or rather… they simply didn't care that that guy's ability would crush others?

Thinking of the initiator's behavior at his table just now, Cheng Zhen narrowed his eyes.

Boss William only asked everyone to follow the rule of the loser shooting at the card table, but he didn't seem to prohibit cheating.

The initiator's performance was too obvious; Cheng Zhen easily noticed something was wrong.

Cheng Zhen didn't believe that the waiters and henchmen in this tavern wouldn't see the problem.

So…

It was that the waiters already knew there was a problem, but they chose to ignore it.

It could even be said that it was their connivance that led the NPCs to choose cheating as a way to win.

Deceitful Tavern… cheating is also a form of deceit!

After realizing this, Cheng Zhen immediately found the tavern even more interesting.

He looked at Xiao Jiao and asked, "Do you have any means to cheat and win cards? We need to speed up."

"Look, there are only so many NPCs in the tavern, and their numbers will decrease in successive rounds of card games due to deaths."

"And the total amount of coins in their hands remains constant; it will only continuously transfer to other NPCs as NPCs die."

"Although it's temporarily unclear what these coins are for, since the dungeon threw us here to participate in card games, naturally, the more we win, the better."

"That guy named Wei Si and his teammates are already working hard to get money, so we should naturally speed up our progress too. It's best to establish an advantage, but even if we can't, we can't fall into a disadvantage."

The method Cheng Zhen used just now was indeed stable and safe (for himself), but the efficiency of acquiring coins was too low.

Three people only earned one person's money; how could that compare to the high efficiency of one person earning three people's money?

Just now, Cheng Zhen was also unsure of the situation, so he didn't make it too obvious. But now that he knew the 'rules' here and the waiters' attitude, he could use more methods!

"No problem!"

After hearing Cheng Zhen's words, Xiao Jiao also nodded repeatedly, "I think Guangzi Ge, you're right. Then next, I'll also go participate in card games!"

Seeing his teammate cooperate so well, Cheng Zhen was very satisfied and prepared to proceed to the next round.

As he turned to leave, Xiao Jiao suddenly called out to him again: "Hey, Guangzi Ge, wait a moment, take this!"

Cheng Zhen looked at the fifteen coins suddenly in his hand, his face showing surprise.

"I gave my watch to that guy."

Xiao Jiao shook his wrist and then pointed to the nearby NPCs, "Looking at their attire, watches were still worth something at this time."

Cheng Zhen accepted the money and nodded: "Good, then next we'll split up and try to collect as many coins as possible."

Xiao Jiao responded, and then the two walked in different directions towards other NPCs.
