Chapter 629 Visitors
There was a crisp "click" sound, and the spring caused the firing pin to tremble slightly, pushing Xiao Cheng's "Tao" straight out.
Xiao Cheng felt bad, he felt that the direction of this "Tao" was too straight.
If this continued, it would be the first to enter the hole in the third row, which was "double infantry".
But if you think about it carefully, even if it is "double", it is not a loss in general. If you can win a good start here, it will be very good news for the team.
After traveling about one meter, the angle of this "Tao" suddenly began to deviate slightly, and then quickly deviated from the established track. When it was about to reach the third row, it just passed through the holes in the middle and on the left.
Xiao Cheng also stared at this scene with wide eyes. As long as he could reach the second or first row, the reward would be multiplied.
But what Xiao Cheng didn't expect was that it was obviously a flat table, and it was obviously a "Tao" pushed out in a straight line, but this "Tao" walked out of a weird arc on the flat table.
It did not stop at the second row at all, but rushed towards the hole of the "Eight Times General" in the third row a few seconds later.
Although the situation was somewhat unexpected, it seems to be developing in a good direction.
At this time, Xiao Cheng had a flash of thought. It is said that people who participate in gambling for the first time usually have excellent luck. Is it possible for him to really exchange one "Tao" for eight "Tao"?
In this way, the chips in the hands of the three people will change from nine "Tao" to sixteen. If Tiantian and Zheng Yingxiong can earn less, the money for the two people's lives can be collected.
This naive idea hovered for less than a second, and the "Tao" was close to the "Eight Times General" in the first row.
It seems that the spring force of this table has been designed to make all the "Tao" gradually lose kinetic energy when approaching the "Eight Times General". Moreover, the spring and the firing pin are triggered by a button. In other words, the "participants" have no way to control the force of the spring to interfere with the distance of the "Tao" when it moves forward, and can only let it roll on its own.
The closer the "Tao" got to "Eight Times", the slower it got. Finally, it seemed to be attracted by something and slowly rolled towards the hole.
Xiao Cheng's heart was hanging at this moment. He stared with his eyes wide open and held the corner of the table tightly with both hands.
"Tao" kept slowing down and approaching "Eight Times", but the distance seemed to be slightly off. It slid around the top of "Eight Times" and slowly rolled towards the right edge of the table, almost out of bounds.
"Oh, it's bad..."
Xiao Cheng's excitement just now fell to the bottom in an instant. His mood swung back and forth with the small sphere, as if the "Tao" was all his hope.
"Tao" was about to go out of bounds from the right edge, but it inexplicably slowed down again, then turned back and set off for the second time in the direction of "Eight Times".
What Xiao Cheng never expected was that this "Tao" that originally set off in a straight line actually started to circle around "Eight Times" after a few seconds of action time.
Unfortunately, the hole of "eight times" is too small. "Tao" goes from the left to the right, and then swings back from the right to the left, circling around the hole.
Although the speed is getting slower and slower, there is no sign of entering the hole.
Xiao Cheng's mood fluctuates with the rolling of the ball. From the perspective of physics, the ball keeps rotating around the hole without external interference, and the probability of entering the hole is very high.
But this game seems to have never developed in the direction set by Xiao Cheng.
After the "Tao" rotated around the hole for seven or eight times, the speed finally slowed down, and finally stopped next to the small hole for a few seconds. Just when Xiao Cheng thought that this "Tao" would not move anymore, it began to slowly accelerate towards the edge of the side.
Finally, it left the table without suspense and fell into the grooves on both sides, becoming one of the many "rushers" who died in the battle.
Xiao Cheng's mood fluctuated greatly in a short period of time, and the sudden failure made him feel a little empty for a while.
It always felt like it was over before it even started. He had just put in a "Tao" and pressed a button at random, but he felt like he had experienced a thrilling gamble.
It was obviously very close.
This "Tao" was closer to the "Eightfold General" than a step away.
Perhaps it was only a one-centimeter difference, but the reward of eight "Tao" became a total loss.
"No... the difference is smaller than one centimeter..." Xiao Cheng shook his head, and then took out the second "Tao" from his pocket, "Maybe it's just a few millimeters..."
He felt that this game facility should be easier to get rewards than other games, at least the spring and the firing pin did not cheat, and the "Tao" also rushed out straight, but because the shape of the "Tao" could not be considered a flawless sphere, it was also elastic, so it might slightly change direction when moving forward.
Xiao Cheng thought for a while, instead of going to other game equipment to learn again, it would be better to find a way to win back the capital here.
When he was about to throw the second "Tao" in his hand, a mean and clanging sound suddenly sounded behind him.
"Gambler," the man called out, "why are the scattered 'Tao' only in the grooves on both sides and not on the table?"
"What...?"
Xiao Cheng was so absorbed in the game that he didn't even notice that there were two onlookers standing behind him.
The person who spoke was handsome and had a ruthless look on his face, but he obviously didn't wake up from sleep. He was scratching his messy hair and his eyes were still a little swollen.
After coming back to his senses, Xiao Cheng quickly thought about what the other party said, and suddenly felt that it made sense.
Why are the scattered "Tao" not on the table?
There are already so many "losers" in the grooves on both sides. Logically speaking, the "Tao" should be scattered everywhere, and may even stay on the table, but why are there none?
Xiao Cheng frowned, slowly squatted down, looked at the table from a horizontal angle, and soon discovered the clues.
This table is not flat at all. The cross-section of the tabletop is almost "M" shaped.
The positions of all the holes are imperceptibly raised. Since the slope is very gentle and the light is not too bright, it is difficult to see the mystery of this special-shaped table with the naked eye.
It is precisely because of this that his "Tao" keeps meandering on the table, even circling around the "Eight Times Great General", but there is no sign of entering the hole.
Xiao Cheng felt scared for a while. If the person behind him hadn't persuaded him, he would have thrown all the three remaining "Tao" stones into this game.
He turned back and looked at the person in front of him, and then at the other person behind him. He wanted to say something to say thank you, but the two people in front of him didn't look like kind people.
One person is arrogant and has contemptuous eyes, while the person behind him has two flowery arms and scars all over his body. He is obviously not easy to mess with.
