Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 310 If you're no worse than a villain, how can a good person fight against a villain?

The sounds inside the tavern were unusually loud.

It surpasses even ordinary dance halls and bars.

Even if Wu Wang speculated that this place was likely a subordinate department of the "Strange Affairs Bureau".

However, the formal aspects are only the basic nature of this department.

In reality, it was still doing shady business.

If the "Strange Events Bureau" is a quick strike targeting the player.

The post office is the black glove used to manipulate the gray market.

As a place where "violence begets violence".

Black gloves inevitably get covered in dust and ink.

Therefore, in addition to processing task information at the bar, this place also has a number of gambling tables and slot machines.

After all, what guys who are bounty hunters need most in their lives is excitement.

They were almost all ordinary people with various special talents.

At least Wu Wang glanced around and only saw a very few players mixed in with the crowd.

He knew one of the players very well.

I'm just wondering why they're here, and why they're dressed so... strangely?

He walked up to a gambling table.

Texas Hold'em is currently being played at the table.

There were four gamblers who went up on stage.

The entire staff, including the dealers, was female... well, I think.

Wu Wang stood behind a gambler who was slightly burly, muscular, and had no feminine beauty whatsoever.

Watching the other person holding a mediocre hand, he hesitated whether to raise the bet.

The situation on the field was not advantageous for this person.

We can barely manage to put together two pairs.

One of the pairs was from the community cards.

The rules of Texas Hold'em are very simple—

The dealer deals five community cards, and each player will have two cards in their hand.

When comparing card rankings, the highest possible hand is formed by randomly selecting five cards from the seven cards in your hand plus the community cards.

The hand rankings from highest to lowest are: Royal Flush, Straight Flush, Four of a Kind, Full House, Flush, Straight, Three of a Kind, Two Pairs, One Pair, and High Card.

The specific composition of each hand type will not be detailed here.

All you need to know is the hand of the remaining three gamblers.

If any card has the same value as a pair in the community cards.

That would allow you to easily beat this nervous gambler with three lines.

Why do we say this person's hand isn't small?
Because the pair he himself held was A.

In other words, if everyone has two pairs, no one else has any chance of winning against him.

It's clear that the other three are all seasoned veterans.

He remained calm and composed, never giving up or abandoning the game.

After another round of betting, the power of the game returned to this person.

This made her hesitate.

It's really hard to tell which of these three players truly has a strong hand and which is just trying to force themselves to fold through psychological pressure.

After a moment, she sighed.

"I give up..."

"All in."

Before he could finish speaking, a calm voice came from behind him.

Everyone turned to look at them.

He looked up at Wu Wang's handsome face.

He flashed a bright smile and continued, "I suggest you go all in."

boom--

The woman directly opposite, who had an earring and a lip piercing, suddenly slammed her hand on the gambling table and stood up.

With a gloomy expression, he said, "Where did this little punk come from? Don't talk before you're at the table. If you break the rules, you'll be dragged out and fed to the dogs later."

Another glamorous woman with heavy makeup standing next to her chimed in with a smile, "That's right, if the handsome young man wants to play, let's join in next round. Let's not make everyone unhappy now."

wow-

She had just finished speaking.

Upon hearing Wu Wang's suggestion, the gambler pushed his chips forward.

He said, word by word, "I, so, ha."

This made everyone gasp in shock.

After all, she had quite a few chips in front of her.

It's a type of wealth that requires completing many tasks to earn.

Just because of a stranger's words, they rejected everything?

Before anyone else could question it.

She added, "Most people around could see that this friend had just walked up behind me."

"I didn't go to your three places to check the cards or cheat, so it can't be considered a real violation of the rules."

"It's just a little impolite at most."

"Right?"

However, Wu Wang had a half-smile on his face.

This caused the smile on her face to gradually stiffen, and a faint, inexplicable blush could even be seen on her face.

The other three looked at each other in bewilderment.

They rolled their eyes almost simultaneously.

They then threw the cards out together.

"I fold." "Me too." "Same here."

It's obvious that they don't have any good cards in their hands.

At this point, almost no one can miss it.

These three women are completely in cahoots!
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to coordinate so well to put pressure on the fourth player, and then simultaneously fold after the opponent went all in.

Even so, just the bets made to put pressure on the team just now...

The combined revenue from these three companies is enough to make many people envious.

"Hey handsome~ Want to come up here and have a game? Don't just talk big from the sidelines!"

"Someone this handsome can't be soft, right?"

The glamorous woman, who had lost her chips, said in a sarcastic tone.

Faced with her provocation, everyone around her watched Wu Wang with the same detached, gossipy attitude as if he were a clown.

It's now clear that the three of them are in cahoots.

If you sit at the table, you're bound to suffer a loss.

If you don't sit at the table, it's tantamount to admitting you're a coward.

After all, in a sense, it was Wu Wang himself who first provoked them.

If he hadn't spoken up, that person might have already folded.

He talked a big game but then didn't dare to go on stage.

Those present were certain that for a long time, this unfamiliar face would be unable to hold his head high in the various taverns and post offices of the capital.

A pair of soft hands tugged at Wu Wang's trench coat.

It was my second sister who came over after hearing the commotion.

The expression in her eyes was one of disbelief.

Who knows what's gotten into my brother this time? How come he's already causing trouble at the post office as soon as he arrived in the capital?

This is unlike before when he would act crazy outside, at worst he would just get taken away by the police and given a verbal reprimand.

Everyone present was a ruthless bounty hunter!

Even if Ah Di is a player of the Calamity faction, this is far too ostentatious!
"It's alright," Wu Wang said with a relieved smile. "I will win."

After saying that, he pulled the strong woman up.

Sitting in the other person's chair, he asked, "I'm new here and don't have any chips yet. Can I borrow some of yours to play a bit? You don't mind, do you?"

Just when everyone thought the strong woman would fly into a rage.

She simply said quietly, "Don't you need me to come on stage and help you?"

After all, in her opinion, the two of them were slightly better to the three of them.

Wu Wang simply shrugged.

He put on a bright, sunny expression, like a friendly older brother next door, and said to the three women, "I don't think you three sisters will bully me too much, right?"

“That’s right~ How could I bear to bully such a fair-skinned and handsome young man~” The glamorous woman laughed and said, “Let’s just be friends. My name is Mandala.”

The woman with the earring scoffed, "Needle prick."

The last one didn't say a word the entire time.

The woman, who looked like a pure and innocent female college student, smiled slightly.

"Carrier pigeon".

"I've never seen you or the lady behind you at any contact point in Beijing. May I ask where you're from?"

Upon hearing this code name...

The bounty hunters who had been watching the spectacle were immediately filled with awe.

They started talking about it.

Wu Wang gleaned this from a few words.

The group was surprised that "Carrier Pigeon" was actually such a seemingly harmless and innocent female college student.

The second sister also walked up to him at the right time and whispered, "She is considered to be among the top tier of the [Postmen]. It is said that she can keep track of her target's every move without leaving home, and have them assassinated silently."

The alluring woman, who called herself Mandala, looked surprised.

Because the carrier pigeon said it had never seen the other party.

This proves that the handsome young man and the seemingly ordinary woman had never actually appeared in Beijing.

A bounty hunter from out of town who came to the capital on a business trip?
Is it a mission or just a vacation?

It's important to know that the scope of tasks in each region is limited.

Logically speaking, assassination missions in the capital shouldn't be accepted by bounty hunters from other places, right?
"And you? Beautiful lady? You lent me so many chips, what's your name?"

Wu Wang's ambiguous smile made the strong woman so angry that the veins on her forehead bulged.

She... or rather, he.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I am Wang Gang."

puff-

Upon hearing this, Wu Wang completely lost his composure.

Holding his stomach, he laughed out loud.

Leaving aside the impact of the name Wang Gang.

Most importantly, her current appearance is just too awful.

It was such a stark contrast to his usual serious demeanor.

It gives me the feeling of seeing "Tequila Girl" in real life.

As shown in the figure—

Anyone with eyes can see that he is actually a man, right?

Why are you dressed like this?!

Above this "Wang Gang's" head.

Wu Wang could see two bright, large characters: 【獬豸】.

Wu Wang is currently using the handsome face of [Yan Shuangying].

That's why the Xie Zhi immediately chose to listen to him and go all in.

But our good partner in justice.

The upright and incorruptible Minister Xie Zhi.

Didn't I remember that he came to Beijing at the invitation of the [Verification Department]?

How come she's turned into "Tequila Girl" gambling at the post office after only a few days in Beijing?!
Of course, these questions can't be asked now.

I'll have to wait until I'm alone with him before asking.

Right now... let's prioritize dealing with the gambling.

"I don't have a name yet, just call me Fruit Beer." Wu Wang raised an eyebrow, signaling the dealer to shuffle the cards.

However, this title surprised those around him.

Fruit beer?

Doesn't this mean someone is a complete newbie or a complete novice?

Their attention then focused on Wu Xiaoyou.

After all, quite a few people noticed that the beer boy came out of the elevator with this woman.

This proves that the other party is indeed his referrer.

Facing a crowd of ardent gazes.

Wu Xiaoyou showed no stage fright whatsoever.

He said in an icy tone, "The other shore flower. He is mine."

The impact of this name is no less than that of the carrier pigeon!
This immediately drew almost half the people from the [Post Office] tavern.

After all, it's about cleaning up blacklists with a 100% success rate.

The words "red spider lily" had already spread throughout the post office.

She, like the carrier pigeon, belongs to the top tier of bounty hunters.

But well-informed hunters all know this.

This plant, known as the Lycoris radiata, is typically found in coastal areas of southern China.

I have never heard of her having any record of fighting in the north.

I suddenly arrived in the capital today!

The first thing that happened was that we encountered carrier pigeons!
This kind of news is just as explosive as the purge of well-known high-ranking officials by the "postman"!
Is it a coincidence? Or do the two have a grudge against each other?
Could the feud between women be...?

Their gaze returned to Wu Wang.

Yes, he is indeed handsome in terms of looks alone.

People always tend to imagine and fantasize about the gossip they want to know.

Even though this was the first time Wu Xiaoyou had ever seen a carrier pigeon.

But to outsiders, the grudges and feuds between the two have been imagined to the point that they could be made into a suspense movie.

"Oh? So this is what the famous spider lily looks like?" the carrier pigeon said with a friendly smile. "Would you like to join us at the table?"

A hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.

Although the other person's makeup skills were superb, she could still tell at a glance that this was not the true appearance of the spider lily.

Hmph! What a sneaky guy.

Can't get on the table.

"No, I can play with my three older sisters all by myself."

Just then, Wu Wang suddenly spoke up. And this happened right after the dealer had dealt the cards and revealed the first three community cards.

He then casually pushed all the chips on the table away.

He grinned wildly and said, "All in!"

boom--

"Do you even know how to play? Is it your turn to place a bet?" Needle shouted angrily.

Wu Wang simply shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter. You can place your bets however you like. When it's my turn, I'll go all in."

That bastard's insane!

This is what everyone is thinking.

Who goes all in without even reading the public signs?
Oh, and that's not all.

This guy didn't even look at his own hand!
Isn't this guy out of his mind?
Faced with his actions.

The three women looked at each other after seeing their cards.

The carrier pigeon nodded toward the needle.

He immediately licked his lip piercing.

To put all their chips on the table.

The other two teammates both chose to fold.

It's like she and her opponent are simply competing in luck.

As for cheating?

The dealer cannot be bribed by anyone; he is a staff member of the post office.

If it is discovered that the dealer has been bribed, he will be dismissed.

They don't have the guts.

Without even looking at the cards in your hand, it really is just a matter of luck.

To be honest, this is the first time the dealer has encountered this situation.

Since the two remaining players have gone all in, the only option is to reveal the cards directly.

She stiffly flipped over the remaining community cards.

The corners of his mouth, pricked by needles, involuntarily turned up.

"Four Aces! How do you expect to win?!"

She had a pair of Aces in her hand, and the community cards also included two more spades and an Ace of Hearts!

This is quite a big deal.

But Wu Wang simply took the chips in front of her and placed them in front of him.

He said expressionlessly, "Please welcome the next genius mid laner."

The revealed cards are the King of Spades and the Jack of Spades.

The remaining three community cards are the ten of spades, the queen of spades, and the four of diamonds.

Royal flush!
This card, including the carrier pigeon, is played.

Everyone found it unbelievable.

In particular, the homing pigeon also noticed that this beer-loving kid collected chips before flipping his cards.

In other words, he already knew that his hand was definitely stronger than the four Aces of Needle!
How the hell did that?!
Seeing his companion slump in the chair, looking utterly dejected and as if all his strength had been drained, he watched as his companion collapsed.

The carrier pigeon reassured him, "Don't worry, I'll win it back for you."

The bet just now was almost all of my savings from the past two years.

After all, no one expected someone to go all in right from the start.

After receiving a promise from the carrier pigeon, the needle prick calmed her down a bit.

She also believed that the other party would definitely keep their word.

After all, the strongest point of carrier pigeons is actually their hacking ability.

In fact, even the surveillance system of the Post Office Tavern.

Even so, it still couldn't stop her invasion.

Furthermore, Wu Wang was sitting directly opposite a camera.

As long as he looks at the cards, the carrier pigeon will definitely know!
He can't just go all in without ever looking at his cards!

Luck isn't calculated like that!

The second round begins.

The moment all the cards have been dealt.

Wu Wang revealed a strange smile once again.

Say those two terrifying words—

"All in."

He still didn't look at his hand!
The carrier pigeons were now a bit confused.

After much deliberation, I decided to fold.

She wanted to play several more rounds to find out how Wu Wang was cheating!
Then came the third, fourth, and fifth rounds...

Finally, after fifteen rounds.

All three women's bargaining chips have been transferred to Wu Wang.

He doesn't win every game.

Occasionally, after the cards are dealt, I would fold a few rounds.

Every time he folded, it was because his hand was genuinely worse than theirs.

Since I only had the ante and then folded, I didn't lose much in these few rounds.

But the strangest thing was that throughout the entire fifteen rounds.

This guy hasn't even looked at his own hand!
It's as if they know everyone's cards like they have a premonition.

He adds when it's at its maximum and discards when it's at its minimum.

It's like having a god's-eye view!
How the hell do you play this?

"OK, you've won, Tequila Girl. These chips are yours. Come over here for a drink, I have something I want to ask you."

Wu Wang walked towards the gambling table with ease and comfort.

He completely ignored the two women behind him who had broken down.

They also ignored the carrier pigeon's trembling hands and its expression of not knowing what it was thinking.

He simply continued, saying to the Xie Zhi, "You pay for the wine."

Then, under the watchful eyes of a group of bounty hunters.

He led Wang Gang and the other shore flower toward the bar.

After taking three cocktails.

They disappeared into a special private room in the [Post Office] tavern.

That area is usually where task information is processed or private transactions are conducted.

We will not tolerate any outsiders intruding or disturbing us.

There wasn't even any surveillance equipment.

It is a completely hidden space.

After the three figures completely disappeared.

A sudden roar of riotous noise erupted inside the tavern.

They knew that from today onwards...

Perhaps another legendary bounty hunter will emerge in the capital.

The scariest thing is that he's actually just a newcomer!
They haven't even chosen a code name yet.

From today onwards, everyone present is eagerly anticipating what the newcomer's first task will be.

Can this help him truly ascend to the throne of legend?
On the other hand, after finally escaping the attention of others...

Wu Wang and Xie Zhi then communicated.

Of course, it's not about that bet we just had.

There's not much to say about this.

Wu Wang, who possesses the "Eye of the Prophet," has no need to flip over the cards.

He only needs to look at the future a few seconds from now.

Just tell me what cards you and your opponent have.

He's literally gambling with God's eye view!
Just like before, when they played rock-paper-scissors with Zhuge Yue.

How the hell can we lose?!

Let's return to the important topic at hand.

Regarding his second sister's identity, Wu Wang only said that she was someone he could entrust his life to.

Her player ID cannot be disclosed at this time.

The Xie Zhi didn't inquire further.

After all, there are probably only a handful of people in the entire Spirit Disaster Game who can gain such recognition from Yan Shuangying.

Amidst Wu Wang's sneer.

The Xie Zhi also explained why it dressed up like that—

"After arriving in the capital, the [Verification Department] put me through several more tests."

"Later I realized that there was nothing wrong with my beliefs, it was just that I was too stubborn and unwilling to bow down to any evil."

"Even if sometimes it's a temporary bow, with the aim of lying low so that it can be uprooted later, I can't do it."

"So, they gave me a task."

At this point, he helplessly flicked his clothes.

The woman's top was stretched taut by his figure, and Wu Wang could almost hear the fabric tearing.

"They made me have to wear this cross-dressing identity."

"Go to the [post office] to complete a designated assassination mission."

"And I am not allowed to use player abilities during this process."

After listening to the Xie Zhi's helpless complaints.

Wu Wang suddenly realized.

He immediately understood what the people in the "Verification Department" were thinking.

Indeed, the righteousness of the Xie Zhi is too dazzling.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

The Xie Zhi must learn to hide its sense of justice when appropriate.

We need to use more methods and effort to execute this process, rather than relying solely on passion and belief.

This way, it will be less likely to be plotted against by those with ulterior motives.

Furthermore, the mission of the "Post Office" is aimed at ordinary people involved in the gray market.

They wanted the Xie Zhi to learn more about the darker side of human nature and society.

This process is somewhat similar to the worldly trials in cultivation novels.

To be honest, this method is a bit troublesome.

This clearly shows that the people in the [Verification Department] value the Xie Zhi (a mythical creature).

Otherwise, we wouldn't have put so much effort into perfecting his personality.

Wu Wang patted Xie Zhi on the shoulder.

He said earnestly, "Brother Xie, sometimes, good people are no more evil than bad people, and there's no way to fight them."

After saying that, he pulled Wu Xiaoyou in front of the Xie Zhi.

He asked his second sister to tell him about the task he was planning to cancel.

Let's see what the Xie Zhi's attitude is.

After all, it's now pretty much confirmed that the Post Office is the secret agent of the Bureau of Strange Events.

The Xie Zhi was a key figure in the relevant departments.

The information and data he has are definitely more relevant than if you were to ask the bartender directly.

However, after listening to Wu Xiaoyou's description of the task...

The Xie Zhi's expression gradually turned serious.

He frowned at Wu Wang and said, "To be honest, I don't recommend that you cancel this mission."

"Why?" Wu Wang asked directly for the reason.

Unexpectedly, he heard a familiar name from the other party.

"I got to know Zhuge Yue because of this mission objective."

"And recently he suddenly came to the capital from the south."

"According to reliable sources, the person you assassinated had a large number of financial transactions related to players."

"During the battle for the relics, he also had contact with people suspected of being members of the Disaster Cult."

"Brother Yan, Zhuge Yue's disappearance... is it related to you, isn't it?"

The xiezhi's expression was somewhat complicated.

He sighed and continued, "After all, I really can't imagine what kind of player could kill such a scourge as her."

"You suddenly appeared during this period of time."

"The location also coincides perfectly with Mingyang City, where Zhuge Yue disappeared."

"If I hadn't met you, I probably wouldn't have thought this way."

"It wasn't until we became such close friends that I realized no one but you had the ability to make Zhuge Yue disappear."

"You don't need to admit it or deny it, it doesn't matter."

"Zhuge Yue isn't a good person either, I don't pity her."

"I'm just offering my objective advice."

"You might be able to learn more about Zhuge Yue from this person. After all, I believe you must have your own reasons for making Zhuge Yue disappear."

Upon hearing this, many thoughts flashed through Wu Wang's eyes.

Especially the second sister's mission target, when that ordinary person had contact with Zhuge Yue and the [Disaster Cult].

He thought of those two henchmen from the "Disaster Cult".

These two also sought out Zhuge Yue during the [Relics Battle].

I was coincidentally brought to the transaction location by Zhuge Yue to observe the whole process.

And when they were killed at the orphanage.

An interesting detail was also gleaned from his memory.

It seems to be related to the current situation!
There's a big problem with this mission objective!

Even Wu Wang suspected something.

This person is no ordinary person!

He is very likely a gamer.

A player capable of evading the [Anomalies Bureau]'s oversight and even being classified as an ordinary person!
It's hidden so deeply, and it's even connected to the "Disaster Religion".

Now, coincidentally, it has appeared in the capital.

It's hard not to suspect that he might have some connection to the "Disaster Cult" member you just encountered who spreads nightmares!

"Brother Xie, I have some important information to sell to you."

"What price are you willing to offer?"

"Or rather, what price is the [Bureau of Extraordinary Events] willing to offer?"
