Chapter 883: Elysium Money House

“Baiyang…” After thinking for a long time, I couldn’t help but ask, “Is this the best game you’ve set up?”

“Oh?” Baiyang made a questioning sound after hearing this.

Only then did I notice that the expressions on his face were beginning to drive the sheep’s muscles to tremble together. I finally realized I no longer seemed to be conversing with a human.

“You’ve seen through my game?” Baiyang said.

“More or less…” I nodded. “Have the Participants bet on the outcome of each game, then profit from it.”

“Then you’ve only seen through the first layer,” Baiyang said. “If my game were designed as a simple ‘casino,’ there would be no need to set it up in a bank.”

“What…?”

Baiyang didn’t answer me. He just turned to look at Jiang Ruoxue.

“Next is the use of the display screen,” Baiyang said. “Cause and Effect, the logic of the display screen must be built upon the twelve statues.”

“How should I do it…?” Jiang Ruoxue said.

“First layer of logic: at sunset each day, independently ‘summarize’ the number of times each Zodiac’s lights turn on. If the red light turns on more times during the day, display the character ‘Red.’ If the green light turns on more times, display the character ‘Green.’ If it’s a tie, death, or no one participates, display the character ‘White.’ Then arrange the summaries of the twelve Zodiacs in sequence, forming a twelve-character sentence according to the description of ‘Red, White, Green.'”

“I…” Jiang Ruoxue carefully comprehended this, then nodded. “Although I don’t quite understand, I’ll just do it directly.”

She dragged a chair from the side, stepped on it, reached up to touch the display screen above her head, and muttered a few more words to herself.

Watching the display screen slowly flicker, that long-lost feeling came again… Every time I thought I was beginning to understand Baiyang’s actions, he could always exceed my expectations.

“What does this mean again?” I asked.

It seemed Baiyang wasn’t lying. If Jiang Ruoxue hadn’t appeared today, his game would have had completely no way to be established. These ordinary statues and display screen merely connected to power… probably couldn’t accomplish anything.

While Jiang Ruoxue was applying Cause and Effect, a “Bull” statue that had been showing a white light now lit up red.

It seemed the Earth-Bull closest to here had won.

Although we hadn’t seen that Earth-Bull and didn’t know what his game was, he had indeed won.

After Jiang Ruoxue finished applying Cause and Effect and was about to get down from the table, Baiyang called out to her again, saying, “No need to come down. Next is the third layer of logic, which also applies to the display screen.”

Jiang Ruoxue took a deep breath, calmed her conviction, then nodded. “What else is there?”

“One hour before the tenth cycle, ‘summarize’ all the ‘summaries.'”

“Huh…?”

Jiang Ruoxue’s expression was obviously a bit confused, and after hearing this, I didn’t quite understand either.

This “casino” was about to become something I didn’t recognize.

“What do you mean by ‘summarize’ all the ‘summaries’?”

“Same principle as before,” Baiyang said. “Each day’s ‘summary’ counts as one light turning on. Then tally which color light appears more within ten days and display it all together at the end. If red turns on more times within ten days, the summary is ‘Total Red,’ and vice versa.”

Ah…!

I think I understand…

What on earth is inside Baiyang’s head?!

If I’m not mistaken… he used these twelve statues and the simplest logical relationships to design three games, and these three games are aimed at low, middle, and high-class people respectively.

High-end people have high-end gameplay, while I could only see the lowest-level game of a “casino.”

What’s even more impressive is… Baiyang completely handed over the outcome of this game to other Zodiacs. He neither participates nor interferes. Not only can he be absolutely safe with wealth falling from the sky, but there’s also no way for him to be gambled to death.

No wonder he had to set up this game in a “bank”… this is simply too appropriate.

Although Jiang Ruoxue didn’t quite understand Baiyang’s meaning, she still applied the final layer of Cause and Effect to the display screen.

Everything was ready. Baiyang’s game venue had finally formed its complete form.

He signaled to us and let the Participants outside the door in.

And his rules were thoroughly revealed at this moment.

I had a premonition… it wouldn’t take long before this bank would be bustling with people, becoming the largest “Dao” storage place here.

If “Dao” really was currency, Baiyang would be as wealthy as a nation.

“Everyone, my game is called ‘Elysium Money House,'” Baiyang said to the crowd.

“Money House…? How exactly do you play it?” a man asked.

“As for a ‘Money House,’ the main business is naturally depositing money,” Baiyang said. “However, there are also some other lottery games that can allow you to rapidly obtain ‘Dao.'”

He first introduced the first layer of gameplay to everyone—the gambling gameplay suitable for all lower-class people, which was guessing the outcome of an Earth-level Zodiac.

When the white light turns on, you can place bets on “Win,” “Loss,” or “Kill.” Winners will take the opponent’s chips and pay Baiyang one “Dao” as a “venue fee.” If the winner only wins one “Dao,” no “venue fee” is collected.

Additionally, if someone bets on “Kill” and wins, Baiyang will pay out of his own pocket to give the other party double the chips on the table.

Everyone quickly became interested in Baiyang’s unique game, but I knew things weren’t over yet.

“This gameplay is called ‘Elysium Gambling,'” Baiyang said. “Next, I’ll introduce the second gameplay to everyone—’Elysium Lottery.'”

After speaking, he began to introduce the function of the display screen.

At sunrise each day, Elysium Money House would sell lottery tickets at the price of one “Dao” and conduct a “drawing” at sunset.

The lottery content could be customized by the Participants, using “Red,” “Green,” and “White” arranged randomly to form twelve characters.

If this sentence could match the content of the “drawing” on the screen, they would receive all the chips from everyone else who purchased lottery tickets.

If no one matched, the chips would be added to the prize pool, waiting for the next day’s drawing. However, the lottery tickets for the next day would need to be purchased anew.

Although this rule appeared that Baiyang couldn’t profit… this was, after all, the Land of the End.

After purchasing lottery tickets, people were very likely to die in the streets or lose their memories. Although the price of one “Dao” didn’t seem like much, if many people wanted to take a chance on this lottery ticket… the amount in the prize pool would become extremely large.

What’s more, how much was in the prize pool was still up to Baiyang himself to say.

“But…” At this moment, a woman spoke up and asked, “How do we know whether you’ll cheat or not? What if you never let us win?”

“You can observe freely,” Baiyang answered. “After all, what color these ‘lights’ turn on depends on the performance of nearby Zodiacs, not on me. Even if I were extremely capable, I wouldn’t be able to drag a dozen or so Earth-level Zodiacs together to deceive you.”
