I'm the King of Wage Earners in Lobotomy City

Page 110

Du Jue couldn't persuade Elena otherwise, and thinking that it was just a small collar that could be wrapped with bandages, he couldn't help but ask, "Are we really friends? Who would put a collar on a friend?"

"Of course it is! It's all your fault. You're always running around, and I often can't find you when I want to. I really want to suck you in until you can't walk anymore, but what can I do? We're good friends."

Elena touched Du Jue's neck and the collar on it, then jumped onto the nearby rooftop with satisfaction and left happily.

"This friend is wicked; she dared to force me. Kill her."

Gan Jian, who suddenly appeared beside Du Jue, frowned and spoke as if the matter was as insignificant as kicking away a stone on the roadside. Then she patted her chest, looked up at Du Jue, and said, "Don't worry, Mom has prepared many houses for you."

Du Jue pressed her temples, her head aching. "Mom, please don't! That's really my good friend! And you weren't eavesdropping right next to me, were you?"

"I, I don't. Do you want to hear a story? Mommy will tell you one."

Gan Jian pursed her lips, finding the way she changed the subject too abrupt.

"Mom, why don't you just tell me to stop? Also, could you help me investigate the survivors of the Green Journey?"

As the saying goes, it's better to guide than to block. Du Jue thought that Gan Jian still needed to do something, otherwise it would be too dangerous for her to monitor him around the clock.

Putting everything else aside, it would be troublesome if I got on the WARP train and the other party followed, especially since Gan Jian also has a connection with Xingxing's half-body.

"Okay, but those names were given by other people, I don't want to use them, you are mine."

Gan Jian nodded in agreement, which relieved Du Jue, but then he noticed that the other party suddenly covered his face and laughed strangely.

"What's wrong, Mom?"

"I think I was a little naughty before, because I lied to them and told them so many stories, while the other sisters didn't hear them."

"But it's okay, Mom won't be angry. You can live with me from now on, and you must come home on time every day."

Du Jue felt ashamed and could only take the blame, secretly cursing the chief for being inhuman.

A corner of a quiet bar.

"I can't believe someone as busy as you actually has time. I was just calling to bother you because I was in a bad mood, but I didn't expect you to actually come."

Olga picked up the fruit wine on the table, took a small sip, and then straddled Du Jue, trying to persuade him to drink.

"Actually, I'm still working on commissions, umm."

Du Jue swallowed the wine with a sense of helplessness, pondering how to face Gan Jian. Was he really going to inexplicably recognize a mother, especially since her ability to enter strange perspectives would attract stars to his half-body?

Olga's interest was not diminished by the fact that she was no longer allowed to lie passively. On the contrary, she became even more unrestrained in touching him, smearing wine stains and lip prints on his cheeks and chest.

"Oh dear, I originally came here to relax, but I didn't expect you to have troubles too. Well then, I'll reluctantly help you out. Before, you swore under me that you would become the pinnacle of the city."

Olga's rosy fingertips brushed against Du Jue's fair skin, and her eyes lit up as she rubbed her face against it.

Still somewhat worried, Du Jue took the fruit wine from Olga and drank it all in one gulp. "I find it a bit difficult to decide. That person is too controlling, and following my every word is dangerous for both of us, but he really cares about me."

He tried to send Gan Jian away by making her go back to clean the house, but she would come back immediately, which seriously affected his job search.

"Hey, is this your new girlfriend again? So you're the type who pretends to be virtuous but actually juggles multiple relationships. I was wondering how a workaholic like you could have time to wear a collar. You're quite the player."

"Olga, don't misunderstand, that was just a gift from my friend."

Olga kissed her and took the sipped liquor from Dujue's mouth, the liquor soaking her shirt. After she swallowed, she said, "What's so hard about this? It's like I like you, and you like me, so things naturally develop. Don't let other people's shadows scare you away."

These words immediately reminded Du Jue of Kaji, who had been overwhelmed by the shadow of others in the toilet.

"That's right!"

He flipped the bewildered Olga onto the sofa, then suddenly sprang to his feet. He was also overwhelmed by the large amount of information he had received in a short time. Even if his mother came, she couldn't disturb his work to become the pinnacle of the city!

“Staying here now is a waste of time. Olga, I’ll pay the bill. You can have your drink first. I still have a request to make.”

Olga was so angry at Du Jue's sudden departure that she raised her hand to smash the fruit wine. She really didn't understand what she had said that had provoked this insensitive lunatic. She could only put on her shoes and pack her clothes, feeling even more depressed than when she arrived.

[Du Jue: Mom, please don't come to see me during my work hours. I'm afraid that idiot will suddenly appear in the city again. Mom, you don't want me to be killed by that idiot, do you?]

[Gan Jian: Of course, with Mom here, I won't die. Don't say anything carelessly again.]

"Sanchao, can you hear me? Gan Jian's target is in our hands, get to work!"

"But I didn't even give you Gan Jian's latest location. How did you find her and retrieve your target so easily? That's incredibly fast."

Sanchao seemed quite surprised and admiring: "To be honest, when we saw your resume before, everyone thought you might have used some shady methods. After all, you can complete every task within two days to a perfect score. You're practically a legendary finisher. Maybe the association will even give you some accolades because of this."

Hearing this, Du Jue frowned. "Stop talking nonsense. Where is that Blood Demon who stole the item?"

Chapter 168 Kapil.

"Wen Duo, based on the target's last sent location, it should be in the back alley of Company J."

Without even a slight recollection, I remembered that J Company's Singularity Technology could lock the brain, capable of locking and sealing anything that was conceptually "open" or "exposed."

When the tuner half-sealed Gan Jian's abilities during their encounter at the Impression Hall, they might have used this kind of magical technology. After all, the leaders theoretically possess all the patented technologies of the existing and broken Wings of the World.

"How are you sure that guy is the Blood Demon? Was the target taken to the J Nest for gambling?"

Avoid asking strange questions and simply take a taxi to the train station.

J Nest is known as the gambling nest, basically a large gambling city interspersed with small casinos, and the atmosphere of money worship is its underlying character.

If Company K and Company J have a partnership, it's normal for them to be able to find gamblers' information.

Sanchao's helpless voice rang out: "Wendo, you should know that each World Wing has a high degree of autonomy over its own nest, which leads to vastly different legal taboos. J Company relies on the flow of gambling funds and related services to make profits, and crimes caused by gambling are naturally tolerated."

"Company J doesn't even prohibit the use of wish-granting stickers in gambling, so how could they possibly investigate the source of gambling chips? We deduced from the employees who turned into dried-up human bodies at the scene of the theft that the robber was Blood Demon."

Upon hearing Sanchao mention this, Dujue immediately recalled the bartender he encountered in the northern part of the city, who tried to use a wish-power sticker to escape suffering.

Wish Power Stickers, also from J Company's technology, can draw upon the power of wishes and store it within the sticker. When used, they grant the user a brief period of extraordinary luck, ensuring that everything goes smoothly for them.

"It seems this robber has recently blocked the signal, so it may take you some time to find him."

Lane 10.

"What?! A deposit of 30? Are you kidding me?!"

Du Jue looked at the hotel owner suspiciously, thinking that this place was likely a shady establishment, and immediately turned to leave.

The owner immediately rubbed his hands together and chased after him: "Is this your first time renting a room here? How can we in business not make money? Actually, you don't need to spend any money at all to rent a room for free."

Du Jue still didn't believe it and suspiciously avoided the guy, planning to rent a place elsewhere.

[Three Dynasties: Golden Land. In this place, you basically need to pay a substantial deposit for everything. However, if you rent a place locally, you can enter and exit various casinos without a deposit. For convenience, I suggest you rent a place temporarily.]

"Ah, ah, ah."

The owner chased after the hotel like a leech, enthusiastically promoting his services: "18 RMB. As long as you pay the deposit, you'll get a full refund the day after your room expires. Unless you check out early, you won't lose a single penny!"

"So you're here to do charity?"

The boss, seeing Du Jue's hesitation and interest, immediately smiled smugly: "Who cares about such a small amount as rent? As long as you have cash, you can easily double your winnings at the gambling table. That's what a legitimate business is!"

"Isn't this just daydreaming?"

Du Jue, increasingly puzzled, thought the people here were a bit crazy. "Are you guys going to use wish-power stickers to guarantee victory? And even though they're disposable, they're not cheap."

"Haha, that's the charm of gambling. You get to allocate all the chips, and the outcome depends entirely on you. Besides, we can also choose stocks with lower risk."

"Okay, but you're not going to go bankrupt and run away when I check out tomorrow, are you?"

When he took out his wallet, Du Jue inadvertently showed off his Level 2 Finisher ID, which he had renewed at an association before coming here, making the shopkeeper's eyes light up.

“This shop of mine has been open for two and a half years. You can’t possibly ask around the neighborhood and find one that’s been open longer than mine.”

The shop owner eagerly pulled out a Golden City brochure from the counter and handed it to him with both hands, "Sir, this place even accepts the ID of the person who finishes their work as collateral. Mention my name and you'll get a discount!"

After two and a half years, it's practically an established establishment. I reluctantly paid the deposit, which saved me the hassle of having to collect deposits from each casino.

Du Jue, looking at the sea of ​​people at the street corner, suddenly understood why Sanchao had praised his efficiency. An ordinary person finishing up would definitely be dizzy and confused when faced with this kind of task of finding someone, and he would also have a hard time finding the person without a portrait.

[Sanchao: The target's most frequent message destination is the Golden City Casino, where there is a large tree made of gold, even its leaves are pure gold. It can be obtained by winning the monthly Gold Tournament. Perhaps that Blood Demon is after it.]

Fortunately, Du Jue has a wide network of connections.

"What? A blood demon who loves gambling, you summoned me here just for this?"

Elena changed into a leaf-yellow dress, her brows furrowed in slight displeasure, a look that was both spirited and adorable.

Du Jue quickly explained, "This is a commission, don't overthink it. I just thought that as someone of the same kind, you could easily find the other party. If you mind this kind of thing, then forget it."

"how could it be possible."

Elena gently stroked Du Jue's right cheek and nuzzled his neck. "I would never refuse a friend's request for help, and besides, I don't care what the other blood demons have to do with me."

Golden City.

The confident Blood Demon pinched his nose in disgust as soon as he entered the Golden City and said, "This place is so stuffy, the smell is too mixed, and there's a disgusting chemical perfume smell. Hurry up and let me smell your neck."

[The Blood Demon has found his target for the robbery]

Du Jue hadn't expected that the helper he'd hired would become a burden on his shoulders, so he started searching aimlessly in the casino, but soon noticed that the crowd was moving around.

"Wow, this is a huge pinball machine! Is this the Golden Tournament machine?"

"1 eyes for one marble, how much money would that be?"

Following the crowd, Du Jue looked up and saw the huge glass bead that ran through the three layers of the Golden City to the north. Inside were complex layers of interception and diversion barriers, with a small screening port at the very bottom marked with the word "Victory" in bright red.

The host's enthusiastic voice suddenly rang out: "Ladies and gentlemen, one of this month's challengers is Kapil! Many of you may not know him, but you've all heard of the famous casino showdown a year ago!"

"The two gambling genius siblings won Golden City, and then started a gambling game based on casinos and gambling cities. The one whose name is engraved at the entrance of Golden City is our respected Index Finger Messenger - Ms. Cape!"

Bang!

The sturdy gambling table was punched and broke in half, and a disheveled man glared angrily at the host.

Du Jue looked at the only ragged man among the five contestants. He did look very similar to Capet, but instead of Capet's calm smile, he was gritting his teeth.

"And this Kapil is the loser of the Golden Country gambling game!"

Despite the insults directed at Kapil, the gamblers stopped what they were doing and cheered wildly, with some even throwing small amounts of chips at Kapil on the first floor.

"He is the Blood Demon."

Elena's whispers pulled Du Jue out of the boisterous atmosphere that made him want to blindly follow others; even the frenzied neon lights and noisy voices couldn't make him lose his way.

Work is here!

Chapter 169 The Gamble.

That's reliable!

Du Jue surprised Elena by kissing her neck. He hadn't expected that Du Jue would identify the suspect so quickly. This proactive behavior surprised Elena, who was used to Du Jue's wooden reactions.

"You're so cute, but next time you can kiss my wrist, the blood there can feel your body temperature more clearly."

Before Elena could even chuckle and roll up her sleeve, she discovered that Du Jue was pushing through the crowded throng, his powerful force causing the gamblers to stumble and fall.

Elena stood there, bewildered, and in the blink of an eye, Du Jue had vanished from sight.

The challenger area on the first floor is separated by gilded wire mesh, and outside there is a human wall of security personnel wearing sunglasses, so as to ensure that the challenge will not be disturbed by crazy gamblers throughout the entire process.

Why are you pushing?!

Just as Du Jue was about to peer through the barbed wire fence for a closer look, he was stopped by menacing-looking men in black sunglasses. He hurriedly explained, "I know Kapil. It's urgent. Get him here right away!"

The man in black sunglasses suddenly realized something and pointed to the crowded people on the right, saying, "You should go and line up over there."

Du Jue turned around and found the gamblers blocked in the arcade, shouting and spitting as they did so, their faces flushed.

"Let me in! I'm Kapil's older brother, and he needs my sponsorship!"

"Get out of my way, all of you! I've borrowed the money from you, Kapil. I believe you can win the Gold Series again!"

Hey!

This guy has been losing for a year, how come he's still so popular?

Even though Du Jue still wanted to call out to Kapil, everyone's attention was drawn to the five-colored beads on the top of the giant pinball machine, and the sound of clashing and shouting filled the entire Golden City Casino.

Du Jue was too lazy to make a move in front of so many people. After all, the Blood Demon could absorb blood to strengthen itself, and if he pushed Kapil too far, it would be bad if they fought to the death here. So he started eating at the buffet at the end of the first floor of the casino.

It has to be said that, in order to make people lose themselves in the casino, not only are there comfortable massage chairs to sleep in, but there are even free buffets. In this place where there is no time display, you might unknowingly lose all your money.

"The only winner is Kapil!"
