desire reconciliation

Chapter 25

After skipping classes for a week, Lancelot's estrus still hasn't come, but his pheromones have stabilized because of staying with Uriah for too long.

The day after returning to class, he suddenly received a call from Idri.

Lancelot was the only son of the old emperor. When he was young, the two brothers of the Graham family played best. Idri was two years older than him, and Dick was two years younger.

Since entering the military department, he has lost a lot of contact with the royal family, and even alienated these two childhood playmates.

"How are you doing?" Idri's voice came from the terminal.

Lancelot: "Not bad." He raised his voice a few degrees, "That's right! I entered the Mecha Department to study!"

Lancelot shared his joy with his brother from the bottom of his heart.

Idri hesitated for a second, then smiled: "Congratulations, you have liked mechs so much since you were a child, and now you have your wish."

Back then, Lancelot made up his mind to join the military because Idri once told him that there is no difference between Alpha, Beta, and Omega. Everyone has their own ideals and pursuits, and what they want to do should not be defined by gender .

This sentence has always been imprinted in Lancelot's heart, and he has never forgotten it after so many years.

Lancelot asked him, "Brother, did you call me for something?"

Idri: "Yes, I forgot to mention the business. I called you to tell you that your father is going to auction the Northern Crown."

"What??" Lancelot's tone rose several degrees.

The northern crown is a pair of mechas with the southern crown, which is opposite to the pure black gold border of the southern crown, while the northern crown is pure white with a silver border, which is the same noble and holy color as the royal family.

Idri: "Uncle Wells' experiment has exhausted the wealth accumulated by the royal family over the years. In order to continue the experiment, he decided to auction off the Northern Crown."

Lancelot frowned: "No one stopped him?"

Idri sighed: "We've all tried to persuade him, but as long as there is no money, there is no way to make him give up the idea."

Lancelot was silent for a moment, and asked, "Is there an estimate for the Northern Crown?"

Idri: "At present, it is estimated that the auction cap is [-] million star coins, but it may be lower than this, because the bidders are limited to the nationality of the empire, and they must be paid in full."

Lancelot: "That is to say, if someone directly pays [-] million before the auction, they can buy it?

"

Idri: "That's right." He was a little surprised, "Lancelot, do you want to buy the Northern Crown?"

Lancelot: "Yes."

"Where did you get all this money?" Idri asked.

Lancelot: "I'll find a way."

Idri: "I actually called to ask you to persuade your father, and I didn't mean to force you."

Lancelot only felt that his head hurt a little: "I can't persuade you, don't you understand my father's temperament, no one can stop what he wants to do."

Idri: "Indeed, if Uncle Wells could be persuaded so easily, he wouldn't be auctioning off the Northern Crown."

Lancelot whispered: "How many people know that the Northern Crown will be auctioned?"

Idri: "Not many. I'll tell you first when I know."

Lancelot: "Good."

Idri felt that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, and said: "By the way, is it convenient for you to leave the military headquarters on weekends? You should be able to come in and out freely now that you are the adjutant of the marshal."

Lancelot: "What's the matter?"

Idri: "I got some inhibitors from a friend. It's not much, but it's enough to last you for a while."

Lancelot was silent for a while, he made an agreement with Uriah, and now he doesn't worry much about the estrus.

He must have been prepared to accept the inhibitor sent by his brother, but inexplicably, Uriah's angry look when he found out that he was using the inhibitor again appeared in his mind, and he was still a little disappointed.

For some reason, he refused: "No need bro, I don't need inhibitors now."

After he finished speaking, there was no sound from the terminal for a long time.

Lancelot: "Brother?"

Idris paused: "I'm here. It doesn't matter if you don't need it. The inhibitors have a short shelf life. Use the ones in your hand first, and you can find me when you run out."

Lancelot gave an "hmm" without further explanation.

Knowing that the Northern Crown was going to be auctioned off, Lancelot disappeared two days after returning to class. The teachers and classmates were also used to the frequent skipping of this former military graduate.

Justu pulled him over to work, and the two of them talked without a word.

Lancelot passed by Justu's position, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Justu, how much savings do you have?"

"There are hundreds of thousands, why do you ask me this?" Justu put down his hand

work, took off the big black-rimmed glasses.

"How many years have you been in the Ministry?" Lancelot sat back in his seat.

Justu looked up at the sky and did the math: "Almost six years."

"It's been three years since I've been in the military. Why don't I have a deposit of [-]?" Lancelot sighed.

Justu smiled: "What's wrong? Are you short of money?"

Lancelot nodded: "Well, and it's not 01:30 that's missing."

"Ham, it's impossible for you to make a fortune with such a dead salary from the military department." Justu waved his hand.

"Isn't it a violation of military regulations for the part-time staff in the military department?" Lancelot has long memorized the military regulations, or he may be too proficient, so many things are done with fear.

"Who gave you a part-time job, do you want me to tell you a way to get money quickly?" Justu organized the documents and approached him.

"Have you done it yourself?" Lancelot felt that he was a little unreliable.

Justu rubbed his head: "I think so too, but you are the only one who can do this."

Lancelot was taken aback for a moment, then moved back with the chair, and said righteously, "I won't sell myself."

Justu blinked his eyes, laughed loudly and said, "Hahahahaha, why didn't I realize that you are so funny before, selling your body, if I let you sell Uriah, you must kill me and then flog the corpse."

"What can that do?"

Justu hooked his hands at him, beckoning him to come closer: "There are many casinos in the underground city, as long as you have the guts, you can make money."

Lancelot: "Then why can't you do this?"

Justu said "Hey": "I still have self-knowledge. I'm not smart enough. I can't even tell when someone cheats. I don't even know if I'm played to death."

Lancelot patted Justu on the shoulder: "Okay, the road is wild enough."

"That's right, you can't embarrass the people who come out of the dungeon."

That's what Justu said, Lancelot still spent several days in the casino he was eyeing, wandering around for several days to study and observe.

Just in case, he also wore a mask and put on a hoodie to cover his conspicuous blonde hair.

He had selected a few projects from the first day, and after a few days of observation, he eliminated a few that were easy to cheat, and there was only one that was more suitable for him-the flop.

The rules are also very simple, 2-8 players, a

A set of [-] cards is shuffled in order and placed on the table with the back face up. Players start to turn over the cards in order. If they find a pair of the same pair, they can continue to turn over the cards. If they are different, they need to turn the cards back and face up again. , and proceed in this way until all the poker cards on the table are turned over, and the person who turns over the last pair of cards wins.

Flop cards seem to be a test of memory, but in fact it also depends on luck. If there are only a few pairs of cards left and it happens to be your turn, it will be a free win.

This project is very popular in casinos, and casinos are also very good at playing. Players can choose whether to use the poker provided by the casino or use the poker that the player brings.

It stands to reason that players who bring their own cards may cheat and win more easily. Generally, the odds of betting on their own cards are also high.However, Lancelot heard a lot of interesting things during the few days he stayed at the station. He said that there was once a table with poker brought in, and the result turned out to be that the player who used the poker provided by the opponent lost. Those people directly made a lot of fun.

Since then, there has been another word for flop called "bungee", which is also a slang word heard by Lancelot. It refers to players who dare to bet on the opponent's own cards. Lose all, or make a lot of money.

There is also a middle-aged man in this casino who is always playing flip cards. He is in a suit and leather shoes, and there is a gold earring in his left ear. People call him "K".

K’s challenge gold is very high, requiring 100 star coins, but the income is also very considerable. The reward for winning a round is [-] million star coins.

There is a rule to play with K, only play two-person games, that is, 1v1, one person can only challenge once, and the opening of the first game is not allowed, the casino can only open when K loses the first game.

The opening of the casino allows others to participate in the gambling, betting on the outcome of the second game between K and the challenger.

Only if K wins both games can he be regarded as defeating him, and if he wins both games, there will be a reward of 1000 million.

It is rumored that this person has the ability of photographic memory and only uses his own poker. According to the information heard by Lancelot, this person has only lost three times since he played flop here.

Lancelot saw no less than ten people challenging K during the past few days, and none of them started the second round.

Lancelot focused on the 100 million. Although it was not much, it was his first step to earn [-] million.

He signed up for the challenge with the [-] star coins he had saved for several days, and soon K's exclusive arena was set up.

A red tablecloth with a gilt border

The wooden table was placed in the center of the ring, and a middle-aged man in a suit stood in front of the table. The gold earring on his left ear was K's logo.

Lancelot stepped onto the ring: "Hello."

K didn't raise his head, he just took off his gloves and replied, "Hello."

K's style of doing things is very straightforward. After Lancelot came on the field, he began to shuffle the cards.

He handed the card to Lancelot: "Check it."

Lancelot smiled: "No need to check."

There is hardly anyone who does not check their poker, eager to see the cards through the holes.

So Lancelot's reaction caught him a little by surprise, and K raised his eyes to look at Lancelot. The mask covered most of his features, and he could only see the light blue eyes behind the mask.

K only replied: "I hope the goddess of luck will take care of you."

K shuffles the cards again and starts dealing the cards.

The two roll the dice to determine the opening order.

Lancelot rolled 4 points, narrowly beat K's 3 points, and flopped first.

Lancelot smiled slightly: "It seems that the lady of luck favored me."

Lancelot smiled and started to flip the cards. He said lightly, "This time it's a constellation."

As soon as the words fell, surprise appeared on K's face, and at the same time, Lancelot's first pair of cards was also revealed.

A good start, a pair of K.

After Lancelot said the word "constellation", K knew that he was going to lose, and he lost before it even started.

The images on the arena were broadcast in real time on a large screen, but the sound could not reach the ears of the onlookers.

K watched Lancelot continue to flop, and said: "You are not bad, you are so confident, did you understand this technique by luck, or did you already understand it?"

Lancelot's subordinates turned out another pair, without any deviation: "I don't know how many arrangements seniors have, but I have only seen three in the past few days."

K was taken aback when he heard this, and then smiled, "Let's hear it, which three are they?"

Lancelot's subordinates kept turning over the one-to-one flower cards: "If I guessed correctly, the senior used time, constellation, and position to place the cards."

K was already leaning on the table at one side, and seemed to be no longer ready to intervene in the battle: "That's right, it's exactly right. Everyone thinks that I marked the card, but there is nothing wrong with that card. I Take new ones every time." He smiled, "So you know from the beginning that the cards are fine so you don't check."

Most of the cards on the table have been turned over, and every pair is correct.

Lancelot: "Senior is also very interested. He obviously knows which card is what, and he played with those people for a long time."

K laughed and said: "The scene needs it, but young man, I suggest you look at the cards on the table again."

Lancelot paused and looked at the few remaining cards on the table.

He frowned: "There are two pairs in the wrong order."

K: "You have good eyesight. When you didn't check the poker just now, I felt that something was wrong, and it came in handy after saving a trick."

Lancelot stopped.

K: "I have a proposal."

Lancelot: "What?"

K: "The probability is 50-[-]. If you accidentally make a mistake and lose a penny, you admit defeat now, and I will give you [-] star coins. How about this deal?"

Lancelot only thought for a moment, walked to the four cards, raised his hand and opened one first, which was "Little King".

"I'm afraid senior made a mistake? There is a one-third chance that I will win."

Lancelot was right. It doesn't matter which of the four cards he turned over first, the problem lies in the remaining three cards.

Once he has turned over the first card, his chance of finding a card of the same suit from the remaining three cards is one-third, not one-half.

Lancelot's hand slowly moved to the next card.

K's expression showed surprise for the first time, he didn't expect Lancelot to be so decisive.

Lancelot held the card between his fingers, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and turned the card face to K.

"As I said, I am the one favored by the goddess of luck today."

I saw that the side of the card was the "big king" who was smiling proudly.
