Facts and Lies (4)
Melkidu, the killer’s resting place.
Block 1 on the outer track is the only village that first-time visitors to Melki Du cannot go to.
Village number 1 vital.
The special reason is that attacks between users are prohibited and there are no missions.
On the contrary, it was a place where many users stayed because it had many convenient facilities
.
“I finally got it together.”
Sitting in the restaurant, Sirone and his party unfolded the map they had made and began the meeting.
“Crime Points 100 million.”
At Nade’s words, the hardships of the past flashed like a flash in the friends’ minds.
Eden sighed.
“It was difficult. “Because I only cleared it with honorable evil deeds to take the special route.”
The honorable evil deed privilege could not be received if one committed an ordinary murder even once.
Iruki said.
“Going around the outer track seven times and earning 100 million is the perfect strategy. In some missions, one bomb cost as much as 10 million points. But the problem starts now.”
The map they produced showed the outer tracks of Melkidu in detail.
“A total of 468 tracks. Among them, 207 were written based on our own experience and information. “It is impossible to accelerate point accumulation in this situation.”
For example, some missions involve rolling dice to reduce a villain’s stamina.
On the other hand, a huge amount of points were deducted from the opponent’s attack, so quick elimination was the key.
“Lord of Immorality. This is the only mission where I lost points. You will need items and Dice will need to be strengthened. “Let’s slowly get to the inner track.”
Sirone said.
“The price of items entering Melkidu from the internal track is 10 billion points. “If we keep going like this, we’ll get there someday, but there’s no time for that.”
The best route was to strengthen the dice on the inside track and sweep the points.
Nade said.
“Once we have raised 100 million, let’s make it double. “I saw a casino on the way.”
Although gambling is possible in other villages, Vital’s gambling halls are run by a system.
“It’s convenient because you don’t have to get involved with other users. However, you only have one chance to bet each time you pass the starting point. There is also a limit on the amount of bet per unit. 1 to 99 points 100 to 999 points.”
This was the reason he came to room 1 after collecting 100 million won.
“It’s too much to raise up to 1 billion won. “Even if you earn 100 million points in one shot, it’s huge.”
Eden asked worriedly.
“What if I lose? “You lose almost everything.”
“haha! We have Sirone. They say you never lose at gambling. “Maybe it’s Satan.”
Suddenly silence came.
“Melkidu is Satan’s…
“Hahahaha!”
Nade stood up with an awkward laugh.
“now! Let’s put aside useless thoughts and get out quickly. “You can earn 100 million points!”
The friends sighed.
“I’m a little uneasy.” After closing the restaurant and leaving, Sirone and his group went to the gambling house in the center of the village.
About 10 stalls were set up and people were waiting in line.
‘I couldn’t meet so many people in other villages. After all, it’s Bai Tal.’
A man came out of compartment number 1.
“Amazing, Great!”
It seemed like he had probably won, and other users looked at him with envious eyes.
“How much did you earn?”
Iruki responded to Nade’s words.
“It won’t be a particularly big amount of money. Even if there is a 50% chance, your life is at stake. No one would bet the same amount as us. Or a point tycoon.”
The line for compartment 6 was the shortest and the line for compartment 7 was the longest.
“As expected, superstitions are rampant in places like this. Where shall we wait?”
There was nothing to ask.
“Let’s go to number 6.”
After a while, the door to compartment 6 opened and a woman came out with a tearful expression on her face.
“Huh huh.”
She walked with her shoulders shaking, but eventually sat down, probably because her legs gave out.
“Ugh! oh my god!”
It seemed like a fairly large amount of money had been bet, but no one showed any sympathy.
As Sirone and his group entered the door, the phase space unfolded as if completing the mission.
-Welcome to the devil’s gambling house. Please set your betting points.
Sirone said, making eye contact with his friends.
“100 million points.”
-Points will be deducted. There are currently 6,878,300 points remaining.
Sirone caught two of his Crime Dice hexahedrons as they fell.
-Whoever gets the higher number wins.
Since the system used the same dice, there was no advantage in strengthening the dice.
“Goes.”
Forgetting even to breathe, the friends watched the dice fall to the ground.
6 and 6 appeared.
-It’s a double. You will get one more chance.
Shirone threw the dice again without thinking, and the result was the same.
“Phew, that’s it. “To be honest, I was nervous.”
Iruki was cautious.
“I can’t feel safe yet. Because the same system can come out the same way. “Then it becomes a draw.”
“Eh.] No way, three times in a row…
While I was talking, the system rolled the dice and two numbers, 6, came to mind.
Nade’s eyes widened.
“what?”
If 6 and 6 come out again next time, the total score will be 24 points, tied with Sirone?
“What if there is a draw?” A system message was heard.
-The battle takes place once again and the double is reset. However, if you are an accomplice, the participation target changes.
I felt a chill down my spine.
If the probability was 50%, they wouldn’t have bet 100 million points in the first place.
‘please please. I’m the one who throws next.’
As Nade’s heart beat rapidly, the two dice emitted light.
One is 6 and one is 4.
-24 to 20. Congratulations. You won the game. We give you 2x your bet amount.
Nade was on the verge of collapsing.
“Haha, how many times did 6 come up? “I feel sick to my stomach because of all the gastric juices.”
“It would be extremely unlucky for the average person. Still, this is what I ate raw.”
-100 million points will be paid as a victory reward. Current points are 206,878,300 points.
“Okay, I just need to raise 9.7 billion more.”
As I put aside the meaningless joke and left through door number 6, I felt people’s eyes on me.
‘Nothing good comes from showing off.’
Confrontations between users were prohibited, but they could meet anywhere.
“you.”
When the group turned around, the woman who had gambled was coming out from door number 6.
“Did you get it?” The woman shrugged her shoulders.
“Don’t be too guarded. Because I am now a point beggar. “Can you tell me about wins and losses?”
Sirone said.
“I won. “Why are you doing that?”
“Hmm…
suddenly the woman twisted her body.
“I really don’t have any points, so if the store buys me just one thing I want…
“Let’s go.”
As Nade solemnly pushed his friends’ backs, the woman raised her eyebrows.
“Those are real! “You know who I am!”
“Who is it? Penage the vampire.”
Pena’s eyes widened at the voice heard from behind, and Sirone turned his head.
“uh?”
Curtis, who had helped us when we first came to Melkidu, raised his hand to the group.
“It’s been a while since I last saw you.”
Since this was also a kind of undercoder, the time was different from the real world.
“Mr. Curtis? “How are you here?”
“The god of dice led us here… it’s a lie and he waited for you. “I thought I would stop by a gambling house during this period of time.”
It was correct.
Pena snorted.
“Tch what? Did you know each other? “Seeing you playing with Curtis, you guys don’t see anything special, do you?”
Curtis smiled.
“You’d better stop thinking like that. “These guys are professional wizards in real life.”
“Hoo?”
While Pena looked at the group again, Sirone asked Curtis.
“Do you two know each other?”
“Rather than an acquaintance… it’s a familiar face. “Would you say that they are not particularly strong or weak, so they can go around the outer track appropriately?”
“You’re laughing! Do you think I’m like you? “I’m so angry that I lost at gambling.”
“haha. And I tell you, don’t believe anything this woman says. It’s not for nothing that I got the nickname ‘Smoking Demon’. “Even if I lost gambling, I would still have the money.”
Pena frowned.
‘ what?’
I was more curious about Curtis spilling information than his identity being revealed.
‘What are you believing in and spouting information? Does this mean these kids will never suffer a loss?’
Curtis asked.
“What are your current points?”
As expected, there was no answer.
“Hehe, you seem quite skilled. “Then, can you tell me how many laps you did around the outside track?”
“I can’t reveal it. “You can infer the point.”
“That’s why I’m asking. “There is no perfect alliance, but there is enough trust that exchange of information is possible, right?”
“Are you saying the information Mr. Curtis has is worth the risk of revealing the point?”
“maybe. “The information I know is a hidden way to enter Melkidu.”
Sirone made eye contact with his friends.
“how is it? “You guys buy the alcohol.” Pena chimed in as Curtis pointed to the restaurant.
“I want to go too! yes? Can I go? I won’t listen to anything. “I’m starving to death.”
‘That’s why you’re a vampire.’ Curtis said.
“Take him. In reality, he has
27 fraud convictions, but he is a trustworthy friend.”
I sensed a contradiction in his words, but there must have been a reason why he wanted to drag me along.
“great. “Let’s listen first.”
The moment Pena took a seat at the restaurant, he opened the menu and ordered various dishes.
“Lastly, please give me some beer. Oh, and the lunch bread is provided for free?” Although it was unpleasant from the buyer’s point of view, he still did not choose expensive food.
“Is this okay? “I’m going to pack up the rest.”
“yes.”
I didn’t feel too bad after winning 100 million points, so I was able to buy some food.
Curtis asked again.
“How many laps did you do around the track?”
“Seven laps.”
“That’s so fast. “If I continued to follow the honorable path of evildoing, would it be about 50 million points?”
Curtis couldn’t imagine Sirone’s group’s efficiency.
“Well…
“Okay. What I’m not denying is that it’s at least around 50 million. In that case, there is a possibility.” Pena held out his hand.
“for a moment. You’re eating. “Can I listen to it?”
“doesn’t care. Just because you know doesn’t mean you can do anything about it. Besides, the number of people is also important.”
Curtis took out a cigarette.
“You either save 10 billion or get lucky. There are two standard routes to Melkidu. But there is a hidden way. “I’m going bankrupt.”
Eden frowned.
“But when the point reaches 0, you are chased by security. “You end up in jail.”
“That’s the key. If you serve your entire sentence in prison, you start again from the starting point. But there is one way to avoid going to the starting point.”
Sirone realized.
“It’s a buy.”
That too was a crime.
“okay. break me out of jail “In this place where all crimes are innocent, you become a criminal again.”
“What happens when you become a criminal?”
Curtis looked out the window and exhaled cigarette smoke.
“The back door opens.”
