"I guess so, but I'll have to go and see it first before I make a decision," Lu Ye said.

He had an idea while talking to the driver earlier.

Since the Imperial Arms are so important to the Imperial Capital, could we use them to infiltrate the capital?

He has storage space and can retrieve items out of thin air.

If I were to disguise myself as a Teigu user, it would be much easier to move around within the Imperial Capital, right?

This will be helpful in finding the whereabouts of the Protoss fragments.

However, there are also drawbacks.

Since Imperial Arms users are so rare, are they subject to close surveillance by the government?

Lu Ye was quite worried about this.

If that's the case, then impersonating a Teigu user would be putting the cart before the horse, as their actions would be restricted and monitored.

So, just to be on the safe side, he wanted to take the opportunity of joining the army to inquire about the treatment of Imperial Arms Users.

After all, this isn't exactly a secret; you can just ask the soldiers.

If the treatment is decent, he can pretend to be a Teigu user to gain a certain status and position.

If that doesn't work, it's okay, we'll figure out another way.

"Oh, I see," Sha You clapped her hands, "How about we go together tomorrow?"

“That’s possible, but where are you planning to stay tonight?” Lu Ye asked.

Iyeas thought for a moment: "Let's find a hotel to stay in tonight... By the way, Brother Lu Ye, would you like to come with us if you don't mind?"

"I couldn't be happier, I just ran out of money."

"Hehe, let's do it together!"

Iyeas set off with great enthusiasm.

But two hours later, the four men were still wandering the streets.

This was not because they couldn't find a hotel, nor because the hotels were full.

This is simply because Ieyas didn't have enough money.

After the robbers took his money and he paid for the fare, Ieyas had not enough money left to stay at the inn.

Left with no other choice, the four of them went into a tavern and ate some simple food to fill their stomachs.

The surroundings were lively, but Iyeas and Sayu looked somewhat disappointed.

Is it really necessary to sleep on a bench on the street when it's my first time in the capital?

Violet seemed unfazed, merely looking around curiously.

As long as Lu Ye is there, she doesn't care where she sleeps.

When they were first on the island, she and Lu Ye didn't even have a bench to sleep on.

Lu Ye thought to herself that she had to think of a way, otherwise she would really be sleeping on the streets tonight.

Although literary youths often say that money isn't everything, you can't do anything without it!

The tavern was bustling with activity.

Lu Ye looked around and quickly discovered that some people were gambling at a table, surrounded by a crowd who cheered from time to time.

He quietly observed them and discovered that they were playing cards, with rules similar to blackjack.

After observing carefully for a few more minutes, Lu Ye smiled confidently and turned to Iyeas.

"Can you lend me some money?"

"Huh?" Iyeas blinked, then pulled out his empty wallet. "Sure, but what do you want to do with it?"

"Go earn money for accommodation."

Amidst the three men's puzzled gazes, Lu Ye took the money bag and walked towards the gambling table.

Today, this Mr. Lu is going to be a gambling addict for once!

Unbeknownst to him, a pair of amber eyes were watching his retreating figure with great interest from a corner of the tavern.

"Is this really okay?" Shayou asked with some concern.

“No problem!” Iyeas said firmly. “Brother Lu Ye is so good, he will definitely win.”

"What if we lose?"

The person who asked that question was not Sayo, but Violet.

Why are you so sure he can win?

"I don't know." Iyeas grinned foolishly. "I just want to believe in Brother Lu Ye, who saved me!"

"That's just how this guy is, so single-minded, there's nothing we can do about him." Sha You sighed, "But the little money we have left isn't even enough for tomorrow's meals, so we might as well let Brother Lu Ye give it a try!"

Chapter 165 What is dynamic vision?

A few minutes later.

"How could this be...?"

Beside the table, a middle-aged man with a full beard was filled with grief and indignation.

In just over thirty minutes, he had already lost eight games in a row.

Not only him, but the two men at the other table also lost a lot, throwing away all the money they had spent on drinks over the past few days.

In contrast to the three men wearing masks of pain, Lu Ye counted the banknotes in his hand with a smile on his lips.

They really made a lot of money; at least for the next ten days, they wouldn't have to worry about accommodation and food.

The reason why Lu Ye won the bets one after another was not because he was completely confident in his card skills, nor because he had absolute confidence in his luck.

After all, gambling, without any behind-the-scenes manipulation, mostly depends on luck in terms of winning or losing, and Lu Ye's luck stat is EX, which cannot be simply measured as good or bad.

He observed after a few rounds of games that the person in charge of shuffling the cards would habitually divide the cards into two piles and shuffle them in a cross-shuffle.

In other words, when a card is shuffled, the corner with the number will briefly appear and disappear.

Don't forget, Lu Ye is someone who can fight his way through the siege of beautiful yoga warriors. In the constant sword fights in the Sekiro world, his eyesight can even catch the high-speed dancing of swords.

In short, he had already seen the entire deck while those people were shuffling the cards.

—What is dynamic vision?

Lu Ye did not continue gambling, and those people did not cause him any trouble.

Because Lu Ye had squeezed almost all the money out of them, they had no more stakes to gamble on.

Back in his seat, Lu Ye called the waiter, ordered another table of dishes, and handed half of the money he had won to Iyeas.

"Your share."

"Wow, that's amazing..." Shayou's eyes widened. "But can we really accept it?"

"Well, after all, you trust me and gave me the funds, otherwise I wouldn't have any money to gamble and win money."

"I told you Brother Lu Ye would be fine!" Iyeas's eyes were full of admiration.

"Alright, let's find a hotel to stay in after we finish eating."

The waiter quickly brought the dishes to the table.

The group ate with great relish, since the few loaves of bread they had ordered earlier were hardly enough to fill their stomachs.

Just then, a slightly mature yet energetic voice rang out from the side.

"Hi~"

Everyone looked up and saw that a young and beautiful blonde woman had appeared at the table.

She had a very hot figure, wearing only a white scarf and a black bralette that barely covered her ample bosom.

"Hello everyone, my name is Leone!"

"Oh—hello!"

Iyeas was instantly captivated by her voluptuous figure.

Sha You glared at her companion with annoyance, then said, "Hello, may I ask what's the matter?"

“I said, you’re from the countryside, aren’t you?” Leone said.

“That’s right, how do you know?” Iyeas was surprised.

"Having lived in the capital for so long, I can spot outsiders at a glance. I'm saying... you're here to become officials, aren't you?"

"How do you know?" Iyeas was surprised again.

"Because most country folk who come to the capital have this idea in mind!" Leone said with a smile. "Want to know the secret?"

"miss you!"

"Heh, the secret is... connections and money, isn't it?" Leone said. "The fastest way to become an official these days is to join the army, but the number of people joining is beyond your imagination. Luckily, I know someone in the army, and all I need is a referral fee..."

Lu Ye listened expressionlessly, but her heart was filled with turmoil.

What kind of outdated offline scam is this?

Even Grandma Wang, who sells melons downstairs, wouldn't believe such a thing!

But Iyeas, this country bumpkin, listened intently and fell completely into the woman's trap.

Even Sha You, who seemed a bit smarter, looked longingly at it.

Difficult to find.

No wonder they got scammed by robbers, and they didn't learn their lesson after being scammed once.

However, after thinking about it, he realized that he couldn't entirely blame Iyeas and Shayou for this.

As far as Lu Ye knew, the two had always lived in a remote rural area and had never seen much of the world, and the people in the village were also very simple and honest.

It was only natural that the two, who grew up in such an environment, would be deceived.
