The trio in the casino seemed rather silent, with only a short girl chatting with Vivian and Lin for a few moments before leaving in a hurry.
"Manager, I'm afraid we're being targeted by the casino..." Vivian looked a little unhappy, "I'm sorry, it's all because of Lin and I..."
"It doesn't matter. It's a casino. The Dice Gang is also a casino.
They have caused us a lot of trouble." Zhao Ye didn't feel anything about the fact that a casino was interested in them and was ready to attack them.
Indeed, dueling and gambling are completely different things in concept. Dueling is essentially just a "competition", but in this back alley, anyone who hinders or affects their ability to make money is their enemy.
“Manager, it’s different…” Vivian hurriedly said, “The gang’s thugs will only send a few people at most, but you are very powerful, so it doesn’t matter.
As for the casinos, if they understand our rules, they will definitely copy and imitate them directly, and then use the background and manpower to reduce the development of the stores..."
"I see. Haha, it's nothing." Zhao Ye raised his thumb and pointed at You Zhou next to him. You Zhou raised his hand awkwardly and greeted the two girls.
Vivian frowned, and Lin hid slightly behind Vivian, looking at Youzhou nervously.
"Let me introduce you to your new colleague, You Zhou."
The two were a little surprised, and Vivian blurted out: "Manager, don't trust these guys who come from unknown places! I've seen a lot of them in the back alleys. No one in the back alleys has good intentions. Maybe this guy——
Especially these guys who are desperate, they might betray me at any time..."
Vivian herself came from a back alley, and every word she said was comparable to her own, which could be said to be quite "double standard".
People in the back alley are not trustworthy.
You Zhou couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing what she said.
He didn't sigh because he was dissatisfied with Vivian's words. On the contrary, after Vivian finished speaking, he agreed with what Vivian said.
The desperate man in the back alley is not trustworthy, otherwise he would not have been betrayed.
"Vivian, your concerns are very helpful and your suggestions are excellent. I am very satisfied until now." Zhao Ye couldn't help laughing when he heard Vivian's words.
Seeing Zhao Ye laughing, Vivian couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat, her face turned red, and she couldn't help but lower her head.
"So, you don't have to be afraid or scared. I won't doubt you."
! ! ?
When Vivian heard this, she felt as if she was hit by a huge hammer. She was stunned for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Zhao Ye.
"Store...Store Manager..."
Zhaoye shook his head, indicating that she didn't need to say anything more.
Zhao Ye could see that he had the extraordinary ability to see the changes in other people's emotions. In his eyes, other people's emotions would surround him like ripples, rays of light, and light balls.
Although Vivian had always performed well and even received a bonus from Zhao Ye, her life became more hopeful than before, but it was this hope that made her timid.
She did try very hard to learn dueling and was very interested in dueling, but she could only act as a referee and could not participate in the duel to show her dueling skills; she did not have Lin's strength. In the early morning, Lin discovered the danger, but she was snoring all the time. It was not until she woke up that she realized that she had been to the gates of hell.
Today, she held her breath and complained about how hard she had worked all day, and was scolded by Zhao Ye, and fear appeared in her heart again.
She said that people in the office were dangerous, people in the workshop were dangerous, people in the casino would do harm to the store, and people who were desperate could not be trusted. In fact, she was "speaking" out herself subconsciously.
She was in great danger in the store. She used to be an employee of the casino and might have been under surveillance by the casino. If she leaked the secrets of the store, she would be desperate, not just You Zhou in front of her, but also her, so she was not trustworthy either.
Just now, Vivian's negative emotions were so contorted into the limbs of a sea monster that Zhaoye felt very uncomfortable, so he spoke openly.
"I don't care about the danger, and I don't care about your background. As long as you can achieve the effect I want, I don't care what you do at other times. Besides, you haven't done anything to let me down.
What's more - you and Lin have discovered many loopholes in the rules that I haven't noticed, so don't doubt yourself."
Vivian's emotions stabilized, and she was even a little excited. With tears in the corners of her eyes, she looked at Zhao Ye deeply.
Zhao Ye nodded, said nothing more, and turned around.
"You two stay in the store, Lin, and protect Vivian."
“Yes! Yes!!” Lin spoke hastily, and then came to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream, “Manager, you want to go out!?”
"Yeah." Zhao Ye nodded.
The two girls looked at each other, somewhat shocked.
For such a long time, they have never seen Zhao Ye go out. Even if Zhao Ye lacked some materials, he would never let them go out to help. He is simply the biggest otaku, and now he wants to take that person of unknown background out.
But at this time, the two of them would not stop Zhao Ye.
"Manager, is it really okay to keep these two?" After Zhao Ye left the store, You Zhou looked back at the board game store and couldn't help but frowned and asked, "They don't look very powerful...
Manager, right now, the workshop, the office, and the casino in the back alley are all eyeing your store with ill intentions. What if they take the opportunity to run into your store and steal something important from your store?
How about finding a few closers to protect the store first?
Besides, when we set up a company in the future, we will need security, right? Why not do it in advance and prepare early?"
Zhaoye glanced back.
"I left my [card] at the store."
card……
You Zhou immediately realized that it was probably a card similar to [Chaos Warrior].
But he hadn't realized how high the upper limit of the card was, so he was still a little skeptical.
But since Zhao Ye said so, he, as a subordinate, would not say much.
"Are you familiar with the Technical Management Department of J Company?"
"Uh, I haven't been there at all..."
You Zhou scratched the back of his head.
After hearing this, Zhao Ye shrugged and picked up his bag.
Inside was a metal device that I had never seen before, which looked like a cane. However, if it was a cane, it was too short and too wide. There were many squares on the opening and closing of the cane, which made people wonder what it was used for.
Isn't it for cards?
He really didn't understand.
Zhaoye didn't explain to him.
Taking advantage of the time today, he plans to do something.
The two walked further and further away, and behind them, a red light flashed by...
Chapter 25 Physical Image (4K plus!)
In cities, all kinds of strange inventions need to be recorded and reviewed.
After watching Zhao Ye and the former "Feather" walk into J Company's management facility in the back alley, the three cyborgs stopped following them.
Even these bold firm closers didn’t dare to ruffle Wing’s feathers.
In the city, patents are one of the most important things, even for "Wing". Of course, inventions in the back alleys are nothing to "Wing". Even though J-Company seems to be simply operating a "gambling den" and selling "locks" that can lock any "open" or "exposed" items, they will not turn a blind eye to various inventions.
Naturally, the "Office of Technical Management" also exists.
The Technical Management Office in the back alley is just a branch, and generally deals with matters related to the back alley companies. But even if it is a department "sent to the back alley", it is not something that these small cleaners like them can mess with.
but……
This does not mean that they will give up their greed just because of the existence of "Wings".
"What are they holding?" The director of the Poker Agency, Poker Spades, had his head occupied by a huge mechanical computer. The computer was somewhat oval in shape and looked like a black peach blossom.
"It's a weird-looking machine, like it's used to hold cards." One of Spade's finishing men spoke up.
Judging from her clothes, she should be a woman. There were many cute stickers on her clothes. She was wearing a suit and leather shoes. Her body was completely different from the director's style. There were several mechanical tentacles extending from the back of her body. There were claws at the end of the tentacles, which looked like they were used for grabbing.
Judging from the shape of her tentacle manipulators, she is a "plum blossom".
“That guy probably didn’t register his core technology.” The Red Heart was very large, with a red heart printed in the center of its forehead.
"Normal." Spade's electronic voice came out, with a lot of crackling noises. "There is a certain power hidden in these cards. It is definitely not created by normal means."
"I even suspect that this guy's skills are related to the weird phenomena that have frequently occurred recently."
"He might have inherited the legacy of the Lobotomy Corporation!"
"Lobotomy Corporation..." When the two subordinates heard the name, they couldn't help but become solemn.
Lobotomy Corporation, the ruler of the former L-Nest, this is the "blown-up former L-Company" that A and Zhaoye mentioned.
Although what Zhaoye used was not energy, the card seemed to be able to sense the user's emotions. This was the rumored singularity technology of the Lobotomy Corporation.
Lobotomy Corporation, that huge company, that powerful energy company that disappeared overnight for unknown reasons, how precious would the things left behind after it broke?
The human body enhancement technology commonly used in cities today is the technology of a "wing" in the past. After the wing was broken, its technology naturally became ownerless. Even if it was taken by Zhao Ye and used, it would not be a strange thing.
They were not very interested in the technology that could make virtual images materialize, because they felt that it was nothing special, at most just electromagnetic waves or something like that.
On the contrary, this makes the card's ability to resonate with emotions seem to be stronger.
"what should we do?"
“Once the wing is broken, the patent will naturally not be protected. Moreover, even if it is not broken, it will be my fault if someone discovers the secret.
If we can get this technology, we will have the opportunity to sell the secret to those big firms or associations, or even companies, and let them find the secret of the destruction of L Company, giving them time and cost savings...
This is what we are
Climb up the ladder and even have the opportunity to become a direct agent of J Company!
At this point, this opportunity is well worth the gamble!"
The two subordinates nodded vigorously.
They waited quietly.
They saw Zhao Ye slowly walking out of the management hall, and they took the opportunity to hide in the dark and observe them.
They also received some documents in their hands, with painful expressions on their faces, and it was estimated that they spent a lot of money.
This is normal. Registering a patent and starting a company naturally cost money. Otherwise, anyone can register. How could that be possible?
Zhao Ye was too lazy to do it, so he threw all the documents and certificates to You Zhou and asked him to take them. He then carefully examined the duel disk in his hand.
By recycling the emotions provided by Vivian, Lin, and the people who come to the store every day, Zhaoye finally carried out the first technological iteration and successfully created the most important "weapon" of the duelists - the duel disk.
Just like a swordsman has his own sword and a sniper has his own gun, for a duelist, the deck is their life and the duel disk is their weapon!
He hung the duel disk on his left wrist and gently pressed a button. The duel disk automatically detached, separated, and then rotated, hanging on Zhaoye's arm like a crutch.
He looked at it carefully twice, then put his deck in. The deck fell into it and was automatically shuffled, completing the shuffle quickly.
Perfection
Zhao Ye looked at the duel disk. In his eyes, this duel disk was cuter and more beautiful than fifty beautiful girls and fifty Pikachus!
You Zhou felt somewhat helpless.
He never expected that Zhao Ye, who could obviously create such a magical card, would attach so much importance to this portable duel stage.
He has not forgotten how strange the looks those J company employees had given Zhao Ye.
Just as Zhao Ye was excitedly preparing to explain to You Zhou, a group of people gathered around him.
Zhao Ye raised his brows slightly and looked around. It turned out that he had arrived at a relatively large open space.
They saw some burly men in suits surrounding them fiercely. Not far away, there were some people in croupier uniforms, also looking at Zhao Ye and the other man with unfriendly expressions.
They all held sticks or
"How many are there?"
"We want to buy your store and everything in it."
You Zhou looked at Zhao Ye, waiting for instructions.
"How much?" Zhao Ye asked.
"Fifty million."
"Fifty million?"
Even You Zhou, the former "Feather", was a little surprised when he heard it.
Fifty million in a back alley is really a lot.
"Fifty million……"
Is it possible that he could come up with such a big number just by opening his mouth?
