Chapter 42 Nightmare (18)

It was the sound of mechanical components running, and the crisp sounds kept jumping out, teasing everyone's nerves. This series of sounds sounded like unlocking, or reorganizing and splicing. Of course, no matter which one it was, it was good for "Scarface" and his men. Because this means that the mechanism is opening and the gift box is about to be opened, and the red gift they are looking forward to is within reach, but is this really the case? At least the first half is as they wished.

The moment the mechanical sound stopped, Jack announced the exciting news: "The gift box is open!"

The Sotan people around, either far or near, sitting or standing, put down what they were doing at the same time and couldn't wait to gather around, hoping to see the true face of this great gift as soon as possible. Their IQ is not online and they can't even guess. Only "Scarface" and Kum can use their brains, develop associations, and guess what is inside.

"I guess it was Tolia's rough stone (thirty-one years ago, a man named Tolia controlled a mining ship designed by himself, obtained the core from the inside of the red dwarf and made the rough stone. Since then, this rough stone has been named after him, until today)."

Coomb first expressed his bold assumptions. Although he had never seen Tory raw stones, he had heard from black market traders that if a red dwarf was found in the extreme dark galaxy, you would have a chance to get Tory raw stones.

"Since the red dwarf is red, the Natolia rough stone should also be red."

What kind of bullshit theory is this? Tolia raw stones come from red dwarfs, so will they have a color connection? "Scarface" will definitely not agree with his statement, but there is no way to refute it, because he has never seen Tolia raw stones with his own eyes.

"But I think it is the Vicksland crystal (in the M57 ring nebula of Lyra, there is a planet called Vicksland. It has been exposed to radiation from the center white dwarf for a long time, and this crystal has grown on it).

Since you can't argue, let's express your point of view, after all, the Vickslan crystal is red.

"No problem, how do you say gamble?"

"Just follow the old rules."

"Then follow the old rules!"

The words "Scarface" made all the Sotans present excited. Because they gambling, even if they don't engage in G-level professions, they are not wandering around. If they just live by themselves, they will still bet. If they don't gamble on physical goods and money, they will also bet on other things, youth, life, partner, future, important, and unimportant. Anyway, they will not let go of them if they can bet.

If it comes to property, then every Sotan team has its own rules. Take the Scarface group for example. There is nothing special about the gambling between teammates. Instead, the gambling between teammates and the leader is very interesting.

In this case, if wealth is distributed, 50% of the total belongs to the "Scarface" and the remaining 50% will be distributed equally by others. Before distribution, there will always be reasons to ask the leader to bet on a bet. The reason is simple, they want to get as much as possible. The leader can reject this proposal, but doing so will reduce the loyalty of his subordinates to him, so they will not usually object.

After selecting the gambling method and type, the betting begins. The leader can be one-on-one with the promoter, but this is not the style of the Sotan people. They like to join forces to challenge the leader. Usually, everyone takes out 50% of the distribution income and put it into the prize pool. Of course, this is just the minimum bet, and anyone can raise the bet. The team members can choose to bet the leader, but that will be regarded as a traitor by others. This will most likely not happen. If you buy it, leave the hand and the winner can take all the bets. After the winner is announced, the winner can take all the bets. The leader wins, and the prize belongs to him personally; if the subordinates win, they must obtain the corresponding prize according to the proportion of their bets.

Interestingly, there is an unwritten rule in the Scarface team, that is, after the leader wins, he will use the winning bonus to buy fine wine as an incentive reserve. If a team member performs well in the action, then afterwards, Scarface will take out a certain amount of fine wine from the reserve and award him as a prize. This is the unique reward mechanism of the Scarface team, and it is precisely because of this that people are still following him today.

So no matter what the outcome is, the Sotans under his command will not suffer any losses. So this gambling before the distribution continues. However, due to the limited IQ, in most cases, Scarface won in most cases. It was not until Koum's joining that the situation changed. Since then, Koum became the initiator of public promotion. Every time at this time, he would challenge Scarface without hesitation, which led to the previous episode.

Everyone surrounded the metal box enthusiastically, waiting for the answer to be revealed, but the "Scarface" lost its curiosity, but retreated to the periphery and took the opportunity to walk towards Narita who was watching.

"Why don't you go see the gifts? "

Regarding the beauty's question, "Scarface" answered affectionately: "No matter how valuable the gift is or how gorgeous the gift is, it is not as beautiful as you. As I am about to part, I would rather choose to look at you than face the cold crystal."

"Thank you for your praise," a ray of red glow brushed across Narita's face, but it flew away and did not stop for too long. Such emotional fluctuations made her feel a little uneasy. In order to hide it, she chose to continue to distract from the topic, so she asked back: "Are you so sure that the box contains the Vickslan crystals, not the Toryan raw stone?"

"I'm very sure." The face of Scarface was full of confidence, giving him his reason: "As far as I know, the Tolia raw stone is very difficult to find. Even if it has it, it will be forcibly taken away by the "Alliance" at a high price. Because it is the first power source of imperial star destroyers, the "Alliance" will not let this thing fall into the hands of others. Such a valuable thing is believed to be expensive. If you use it as an additional reward for this action, it would be a bit too luxurious. Not only do you not give it, we dare not accept it. If you collect it, it would be equivalent to getting a timed bomb. Not only can you sell it, it will also attract even more crazier pursuit. But the Vickslan crystal is different. It is the main component of high-power photon weapons, although Vickslan

The best ones are produced, but the crystals produced on other planets are not inferior to it. And I heard that due to over-exploitation, the resources on the Vicksland Star have been exhausted, and now most of the world circulation is fake, which is almost well-known. Therefore, you use Vicksland crystals as rewards, which are not only reasonable in price, but also easy to carry. Even if they are inspected by customs, you can use a general mineral transportation license to get away with it. Of course, you will also consider our factors. The collection or non-receipt of remuneration will directly lead to whether to do it or not, so you will most likely choose reasonable and easy-to-accept things as rewards. More importantly, I have never seen Tolia raw stones and cannot make a conclusion about its color, but I know that Vicksland crystals are red."

After saying these words in one breath, Sotan felt quite accomplished. He believed that his analysis was wonderful because he searched for the surprise element on Narita's face.

"That's why, you heard that it was a big red gift, so you agreed at once."

“It is undeniable that this is indeed the dominant factor.”

"But what would you think if I told you that the box was not filled with Vickslan crystals?"

"What do you mean?!" After hearing her say it, "Scarface" was very surprised. She clearly saw Narita showing a surprised expression, thinking it was because of her guess, but now the other party denied it, what was going on.

"If it weren't for the Vickslan crystal, I couldn't think of any red interstellar minerals that could be used as a reward for this additional action. After all, those popular things cannot be circulated as currency in other galaxies."

"There is also a kind of interstellar mineral, which is also red and very rare, but is not known. Once you meet a buyer of knowledge, it is more valuable than the Vickslan crystal."

Narita's convincing description made "Scarface" suddenly feel excited. He asked impatiently: "What are you talking about?"

"Capra Star specialty, something that can make people crazy about it."

"Capra? I've never heard of this planet's name. But I believe what you said must be of great value."

"Of course, you will know that what I said is not false after you see it."

At this point when the conversation went on, the metal box had been officially opened, and the lid on the box was decomposed into metal blocks, arranged downwards and piled up pieces, enclosing the bottom space, wrapping up the bottom space.

The red gift was loaded in a box, held by a lifting platform, and slowly floated out of it. At the same time, turbid gas erupted, and it was surging and continuous. Soon, it enveloped the entire hall, forming a long-lasting fog.

Before the people around him understood what was going on, Jack the clown appeared on the metal box again. But he was no longer solemn and serious, and he was even more ridiculous and ridiculous. Instead, he was replaced by a terrifying makeup and a gloomy expression, which turned into the image of the clown played by Heath Ledger in "Batman? Dark Knight". He said to the crowd with a sarcastic and fierce look, "The box is opened and the gift is presented. With this fog, you can better appreciate and feel the magical gift from Cabra Star. Please don't blink. For such a wonderful moment, I believe you can only see it once in this life and enjoy the rest of the time. Now, I announce the protagonist's appearance, the new party is open, and the theme of tonight is death! Uh hahaha..."

The ending laughter resounded throughout the entire H-district lounge. Other Sotan people only regarded this as another boring after-show program. While disagreed, they just sneered. But the "Scarface" had a different feeling. His scalp was numb, and he seemed to see the figure of the god of death vaguely.

"What the hell is going on?"

When he wanted to ask for answers from Narita, the sapphire beauty had long disappeared in the fog.
