RPAGF Chapter 235 Reward Order
Chapter 235 Reward Order
Beneath the casino's dome, shrouded in a dark red curtain, the crystal screen displaying the bounty gleamed with an eerie light.
Jiang Qi's name flickered at the top of the list, and the score suffix jumped wildly like a runaway machine until it suddenly stopped at a breathtaking nine-digit number.
"Ding--"
The beeping sound, like shattering crystal, pierced through the clamor of clinking glasses, plunging the entire casino into deathly silence.
The waiter holding champagne on the scarlet carpet froze in place, the lady at the roulette table broke her freshly done manicure, and even the twelve crystal chandeliers hanging from the dome trembled.
"Seven...seven billion points?"
Someone tremblingly uttered that astronomical figure, gold-rimmed chips slipping through their fingers. "That's more points than I could get even after completing ten thousand dungeons!"
The catalyst that sparked the frenzy among guilds to recruit or offer bounties for Jiang Qi was the betting pool behind the Paradise Lost dungeon.
Some people start with luck, only to be swallowed by traps and lose everything.
Some people use strategic planning to accumulate points and become rich overnight.
In this bet, the players who believed in the Monster guild won a huge victory, while the players who believed in the Black Crow guild lost everything.
Jiang Qi's terrifying growth rate left many players far behind, and high-level players wanted to use Jiang Qi's fame and strength to increase their guild's chances of winning.
For example, the Eternal Night Guild has been turned away several times and even ridiculed.
Enraged, they have joined forces with other guilds to issue a bounty on Jiang Qi.
It perfectly illustrates what it means to destroy what you can't have.
This was a hunting ground targeting Jiang Qi, or rather, the Monster Guild.
Suddenly, the sound of shattering glass came from the second-floor private room.
The vice president of the Eternal Night Guild smashed the entire bottle of tequila against the crystal screen. The amber liquid meandered down the two characters "Jiang Qi," reflecting a cold, venomous light against the scarlet background.
“Notify all guild members,” he ripped open his alcohol-soaked bow tie and growled, “I want to see the Monster sigilly stained with blood.”
The evening breeze lifted the gauze curtains, and Cheng Cuo jumped up from the sofa, phone in hand.
"Damn, the Eternal Night Guild just updated its bounty list. Guild Leader Jiang's head is worth two S-rank items, plus 20,000 points."
"President Jiang had just entered the dungeon with Lu Xue and Lin Wanchu when they updated the bounty. Could they be taking advantage of us?"
"I'm afraid it will be another bloody storm."
Yu Hansheng chuckled and ruffled his hair. "Why are you still so loud and boisterous? Do you think this dungeon is so easy to enter?"
"That's true. Anyway, we still have plenty of time before we go in. Let's watch Chairman Jiang's live stream and sneak into the casino to find out some information."
"Row."
Chi Miaomiao was watering and fertilizing the lilies that had already opened their buds when Yu Hansheng called out from inside the living room.
"Miaomiao, come in quickly, let's go to the casino together."
Chi Miaomiao put down the watering can and looked around at the flowers that were in full bloom with satisfaction.
Then, it disappeared from the spot.
The three disguised themselves and sneaked into the casino.
Cheng Cuo was still holding a cream puff in her hand, standing out from the other players gathered around the gambling table.
The holographic projection in the casino is playing system announcements on a loop:
Ten players, including Jiang Qi, Lu Zhi, Lin Wanchu, and Lu Xue, have entered the S-level dungeon "Double Happiness." The betting pool has accumulated over one billion points, with current odds of 1:197...
Chi Miaomiao hurriedly opened Jiang Qi's live stream room.
"Ding dong, the player Jiang Qi you are following has entered the dungeon."
As soon as Jiang Qi opened his eyes, a barrage of comments flashed before his eyes.
"Wow, the Qi God I've been following has finally made it into the book!"
"Finally, I've waited for you. I'm so glad I didn't give up!"
"Let me see what kind of dungeon Qi Shen entered this time. It must be at least A-rank."
"Oh my, it's been a long time! My dear God Qi has become even more handsome."
"Upstairs, don't talk nonsense, Qi Shen is mine."
"I'm not kidding, but you guys aren't all here just for Qi Shen's face, are you?"
"Can't you take the dungeon seriously and learn some dungeon-clearing techniques? Is your life more important or your luck?"
Meanwhile, on the observation deck in the southeast corner of the casino, Yu Hansheng's slender fingers were casually fiddling with the projection screen.
When he saw the additional clause on the Eternal Night Guild's bounty poster: providing the coordinates of a core member of Monster would reward him with an S-grade item, he suddenly burst out laughing.
“Xiao Cuo,” he turned to look at Cheng Cuo, who was curled up in the leather sofa eating a cream puff, “do you think their plan will succeed?”
Cheng Cuo didn't reply, but handed Chi Miaomiao a cream puff and casually grabbed the remote control for the holographic projection.
The moment my fingertips touched the cold control panel, a strange ripple suddenly appeared on the monitoring screen.
Chi Miaomiao, who was eating a cream puff, suddenly turned around, her butterfly knife drawing a sharp parabola in the air.
"Clang—" The mechanical poisonous bee that attacked from the shadows was pinned to the relief pillar.
The girl slowly wiped the cream splattered on her fingers, revealing her sweet dimples to the surveillance camera.
On the monitor screen, a cold male voice could be heard.
“Peeping is not gentlemanly behavior, you hyenas of the Eternal Night.”
In a secret conference room on the third basement floor of the casino, a dozen high-ranking executives stared at the suddenly blacked-out monitor screen, their faces paler than vampires in coffins.
The leader crushed the communicator, his obsidian-encrusted prosthetic eye gleaming with bloodlust: "Activate Plan B. Deploy that thing into the instance they're currently conquering."
The screen suddenly started shaking violently.
When the camera refocused, everyone gasped.
Jiang Qi's tall and slender figure stood in front of the carved bronze mirror, but what was reflected in the mirror was not his cold and handsome face, but a skeleton wrapped in a wedding dress.
"Oh no..." Cheng Cuo shrunk the cream puff into a flatbread. "This dungeon is nine-tenths wrong! Look at Lu Xue's screen!"
In the split-screen view, Lu Xue is doing her makeup in front of the mirror.
The apricot-colored cheongsam perfectly outlined the girl's slender waistline, and the sandalwood comb brushed against her raven-black hair.
But when the camera turned to the bronze mirror, all the players witnessed a chilling scene—the beauty in the mirror combing her hair was a full three seconds faster than the real-life Lou Xue.
"Oh no!" Cheng Cuo suddenly stood up. "This instance was permanently sealed several years ago because none of the players survived..."
His voice stopped abruptly.
The live stream was suddenly engulfed in blood, and the sharp sound of a suona horn pierced through the dungeon, clearing out the dense barrage of comments in an instant.
When his vision cleared, Jiang Qi's Frost Butterfly Blade was pressed against the throat of an NPC dressed in a phoenix coronet and wedding robes.
Lu Xue, who should have been in the next room, was standing behind him in a blood-red wedding dress!
"Shh," Jiang Qi suddenly turned to look at the camera, a chilling smile curving his thin lips, "The show is about to begin."
The live stream suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
As a flash of cold light appeared at his fingertips, the live broadcast signal abruptly cut off.
In the final frame, the badge that slipped from the sleeve of Lu Xue's wedding dress is falling to the ground, with the vine totem of the Qingxuan Guild faintly appearing on its surface.
A piercing alarm suddenly sounded on the top floor of the casino, and all bounty posters were updated instantly.
The three stared intently at the new bounty that had suddenly appeared at the top of the list, while the glass in Yu Hansheng's hand shattered into dust with a "crack".
[God's Domain Guild adds a bounty: Providing Jiang Qi's current coordinates will earn you the SS-grade item "Pandora's Box"]
Blood-red moonlight pierced through the stained glass windows, casting eerie patches of light on the casino's marble floor.
