Chapter 276 Grand Lisboa Royal Club
After killing the last goblin.

Jiang Chen saw the woman who had ruined his life once again.

If it weren't for her
I wouldn't have ended up scoring only a little over 100 points on the college entrance exam!
Now it seems.

This Celia is a pure old lotus.

She was wearing a low-cut maid dress and sexy thigh-high boots that showed off her legs.

The powerful elf, who is knowledgeable about the history of Arad, skilled in repairing magic circles, and even able to foresee the future, was unable to defeat a goblin when he first appeared before the adventurers.

Isn't this a lotus flower?

But it doesn't matter, since I've already done a lot of fan art on Celia, it's not a huge loss.

such a pity.

Despite being a phenomenal hit game, it suffered a massive loss of players due to a series of questionable actions by the domestic game developers.

But even so.

In terms of earning power, Dungeon Fighter Online remains an extremely competitive 2D side-scrolling fighting online game.

Jiang Chen thought so.

You must take the essence and discard the dross!

The goal is to make the dungeon profitable without losing players.

Please select your occupation:

This is the most conscientious version of the original, with only four characters available so far, and the job advancement branches are not as complicated as those in later versions.

Ghost Swordsman: Known for his diverse skills and powerful swordsmanship.

Later, you can change your class to Sword Master, Soul Bender, Berserker, or Asura.

Sword Master is a weapon expert, Ghostblade excels at summoning ghosts and gods, Berserker is known for high damage, and Asura possesses unique wave skills.

Of course, I'd play a round of Blademaster Sword Soul.

It's not that other job changes are boring, it's just that I played Berserker in school.

Because we were too poor back then.

The Berserker's innate Death Resistance is equivalent to unlimited health potions, while Berserk is like "wearing a costume" to enjoy the three speed bonuses.

Now I have money.

I definitely have to experience the joy of playing Sword Soul Bro.

Jiang Chen played until sunset before reluctantly ending the game.

Perhaps the current dungeons don't hold much appeal for him anymore; he's playing mainly out of nostalgia.

“Let’s take it one step at a time. Most cultivators’ wallets are empty right now, and they’re not spending money like crazy either. We need to find a way to help ordinary cultivators make some money.”

Jiang Chen stroked his chin. No matter how beastly he was, he understood one principle.

That is, the vast majority of ordinary people don't have money in their pockets, so no matter how eloquently you speak, it's useless.

To stimulate consumption, the first step is to enable them to make money.

During the previous Eternal Elite Professional League, Jiang Chen specially asked Rabbit Girl to create a "food street".

Franchise advertisements were also posted on the food truck.

However, so far, the number of cultivators willing to set up stalls is not large.

To put it bluntly, the rigid thinking of the Spirit Continent is deeply ingrained; they don't have any basic mindset for "starting a business by setting up a stall."

In their history.

Aside from purchasing items from the nine major shops, cultivators rarely sell anything themselves.

They might have collected spiritual herbs they didn't need, or accidentally obtained pills they didn't want, and then they would choose to sell them on the black market.

Or perhaps you find some treasure within the ruins.

These things are either kept by oneself or auctioned off by an auction house.

Selling things?
They had never had such an idea.

"Looks like we need to promote a model example to encourage others."

Wang Ergou.

Long ago, he was just a menial servant in a third-rate sect, spending his days scrolling through Douyin, looking at his legs, and doing some online games when he had nothing else to do.

His only moment of glory was when he accidentally stumbled upon Huanglong Daoren's alchemy tutorial video, and he used his job managing the sect's medicinal fields to refine some pills, which earned him a small fortune.

But later he became a simp for a top-tier female streamer from a certain sect named Can Can.

Because he was unaware of the incident involving the insults against women by the nine major shops, he sent them hairpins from the gold and silver shops, which resulted in him being blocked and losing both his money and his reputation.

He now
Ok.

As the saying goes, the poor play with cars, the rich play with watches; if you don't have money, you just play with fancy things and enjoy yourself for a second.

Not much different from before.

What's different about it?
That means he's no longer a sycophant, and he's also resigned from his menial job.

Going to Fire Refining Valley to work on screws, your colleagues might be inner disciples of some second-rate or even first-rate sect.

He found this feeling of "equality for all beings" very appealing.

Based on his long-standing experience in screwing in screws, even disciples from top-tier sects would occasionally ask him for tips on how to screw in screws quickly and effortlessly.

Life would have been fine if we had just continued like this.

But today.

He felt like the sky was falling.

Sun Buren, a cog in the machine just like himself, suddenly gets a new Audi A4?

And there's a very stylish fairy sitting in the passenger seat?!

We agreed to share both joys and sorrows.

How could you take off?

This is even more painful than killing Wang Ergou!

At first, Wang Ergou thought that this kid had relied on his savings over the years, mortgaged his flying sword, and taken out a loan to buy the car, and he even wanted to laugh at him.

Unexpectedly, the other party said that he paid in full!

To prove he wasn't short of money, the guy even quit his job at Fire Refining Valley that same day.

Now Wang Ergou believed it.

If he had actually taken out a loan, the pressure of the car loan would never have given Sun Buren the courage to resign. Had he really struck it rich?

As for the others, Wang Ergou had nothing to say.

But this guy is even uglier than me, and he can't even screw things up as fast as me.

Could the spirit stones he used to buy the car have come from a legitimate source?
After getting off work, Wang Ergou immediately contacted Sun Buren.

After giving the kid two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes and treating him to hot pot, he finally told Wang Ergou the secret to making money.

"Er Gou, don't say I'm not loyal to my brother. Let me tell you, recently, quite a few have quietly opened up in some inconspicuous alleys in various towns and cities in the Tianyao Domain and Canglan Domain."

Wang Ergou was startled:
"Gambling house?"

"What gambling den! How dare you slander someone's innocence out of thin air? This is a business under the Wan San Group, called Aomen Xinpu Jin Entertainment City, also known as Royal Entertainment Club!"

"But what you're talking about, isn't that gambling?"

"Oh? That's not right. The businesses under the Wan San Group are completely different from the black gambling dens we're used to. You'll see when you get there."

is it?

Filled with doubt, Wang Ergou decided to go and see.

Anyway, the spirit stones are on me, and the people of the Heavenly Demon Domain are honest and simple. If I don't want to spend them, no one can force me, right?

I'll just go and see for myself, broaden my horizons; I definitely won't gamble.

Just after Wang Ergou left his seat.

Sun Buren immediately tagged the administrator in the [Dog-Lucky Exchange Group] to report:

[Sun Buren: @Administrator, someone named Wang Ergou is going there these next couple of days. He's mine. Here's his photo.]

[Administrator: @SunBuRen, very good. As long as you work hard, I believe you will soon be able to pay off the million-dollar gambling debt you owe us.]

"This is the Grand Lisboa?"

The alleyway was initially very narrow, barely wide enough for one person to pass through. After walking several dozen steps, it suddenly opened up into a bright and spacious area!
Saying it was a hidden paradise is not enough to describe the shock Wang Ergou felt at that moment.

As soon as Wang Ergou stepped into the gilded relief gate, he was stunned by the scene that greeted him.

The entire dome of the hall was carved from a single piece of precious jade, with the "Sun and Moon Shining Together" array, made from nine dragon inner cores, suspended in the center of the dome.

The vast expanse of starlight condensed into a tangible form and poured down, each speck of light being stardust refined from top-grade spirit stones.

It gives people a dreamlike, unreal feeling, as if they are in a dream.

The ground was not paved with ordinary gold bricks, but with "glazed fire-patterned steel" unique to the Heavenly Demon Realm.

Each brick is sealed with a wisp of Nirvana Phoenix Flame. When a cultivator steps on it, warm spiritual energy flows into the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of their foot.

This made Wang Ergou so comfortable that he almost groaned out loud, and his mood instantly became several times more pleasant!
On the thirty-six dragon-coiled pillars, the array inlaid with the golden scales of the Yinglong and the tail feathers of the Ice Phoenix flickered, transforming the dragon's might and the phoenix's cry into the rhythm of the "Pure Heart and Universal Benevolence Mantra".

However, this seems different from the usual calming mantra?
Why do I feel a little excited listening to this?

"This way, esteemed guest!"

Before Wang Ergou could even react, eight Nascent Soul stage fairies dressed in ice silk gauze gracefully arrived.

The lotus flowers beneath their bare feet were not illusions, but rather nine-grade jade lotuses transplanted from the Peach Garden of Yaochi.

Eight fairies to serve me?
Wang Ergou, his face full of flattery and surprise, trembled as he accepted the teacup handed to him by the fairy, only to find that even the cup was made of Soul-Nourishing Jade, which could nourish blood and qi!

I don't know what was soaking inside, but after taking a sip, my blood and energy were churning.

Don't even think about it.

It must be a highly nutritious food!
The most impressive sight was the VIP area, the "Ecstasy Pool," located not far away where one could enter once the daily turnover reached 300 million. The pool was filled with diluted spiritual liquid.

Dozens of female cultivators in the Integration Stage were soaking in the water, laughing sweetly. Their luxurious black swan-themed haute couture gowns were casually draped over the shore.

Each of those feathers was enough to buy Wang Ergou's wages for a hundred years of hard work.

When a gambler won a 320-fold payout on roulette, spiritual rain suddenly fell from the dome, and everyone present experienced a slight improvement in their cultivation!
The atmosphere instantly became even more passionate and heated.

In addition to various barbecued dishes, the dining area also features a variety of fruits sourced from the Shiwan Mountains.

Yes, not the bland-tasting magic fruit, but various sweet and sour fruits with a rich aroma.

Aside from restaurants like Rabbit Tea Princess and Happy Land's Beef Hand, this was the first time Wang Ergou had ever seen "live fruit."

"If our honored guest has not yet eaten, please have your meal first, and then you may return to the table."

Faced with the fairy's invitation, Wang Ergou shook his head repeatedly, saying that he was just there to take a look, couldn't afford to eat, and had no intention of playing.

"It's alright, the dining area is free, you can eat as much as you want without paying spirit stones."

"I won't accept a single spirit stone."

The fairy's smile grew even sweeter:

"I won't take even half a piece. You can eat your fill and leave immediately. I guarantee no one will stop you."

Then I won't be polite!

Swallowing hard, Wang Ergou ran over, drooling.

It tastes exactly the same as what I usually eat at Ledi.

But I don't know why.
These delicious dishes felt a bit bland today.

Especially when someone wins money, the cheers and screams around him constantly stimulate and provoke Wang Ergou's nerves.

The heat brought by the spiritual tea.

The lobby is lit up with dreamlike lights.

The thrill of the phoenix flames rising from the ashes beneath my feet.

The allure of the adapted version of the Heart-Cleansing Mantra.

The fairies' alluring laughter kept coming over.

The shouts and screams of gamblers when they win money.

Which one isn't far more tempting than delicious food?

These intertwined emotions caused Wang Ergou's heart to race and his face to slowly turn red.

When Wang Ergou saw a sexy female dealer in the gambling area raise her hand to deal cards, he couldn't help but be drawn to her.

"Excuse me.."

"Is our honored guest new here? Let me explain how to play."

Before Wang Ergou could even ask, a fairy-like figure approached him and offered to explain the different ways to play at each card table.
