Chapter 3281: Bloodshed in the New City (41)

The things listed on the paper were very strange. For example, there should be 20 types of blocking traps, 20 types of damage traps, and they should have different types of damage, such as cutting, crushing, burning, etc. It would be best to give each one a cool name, write a short introduction, and preferably produce 3D animations. It would be even better if a model could be made.

Ruth felt her head was getting big. She couldn't figure out what all these things were at all.

She naturally also heard about the gambling matter, but in her view, this was a group of people who were idle and full, had money and nowhere to spend it, and came up with abstract things.

"Isn't it just waiting at home to hear the result after spending the money? What is this doing again?"

Although she was puzzled, Ruth didn't intend to ask. Before leaving, she found that Schiller's expression was actually very disappointed, as if he couldn't wait to tell her the plan.

After discovering this, Ruth left even faster.

Ruth indeed didn't let Schiller down. Having been a manager for so many years, she still had some connections. She soon brought back a list and a design drawing, which had what Schiller wanted.

This basically satisfied Schiller's requirements, but Schiller looked at it and always felt something was missing.

Looking at Schiller's heavy face, Ruth tentatively asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Schiller shook his head and said, "Nothing, it's actually not bad, but I always feel it's not stimulating enough."

"This is not stimulating enough?" Ruth hesitated, but she still said, "This already contains all the traps in horror movies that can be realized in reality."

"You made it according to horror movies?"

"The person I found is a horror movie lover," Ruth thought for a while and said, "He is from an art major and is also a handicraft practitioner, so he could draw the design drawing so quickly."

"Has he practiced it?"

"This... if I say absolutely not, you won't believe it. But in fact, this kind of thing can't be experimented with by catching one or two ordinary people; it's too troublesome to deal with."

Schiller looked at the traps on the design drawing and felt that Ruth wasn't lying to him either. If these traps were used to kill people, it would have neither beauty nor efficiency, and it would be very difficult to clean up, which could tire a murderer to death.

"Sure enough, it still won't work," Schiller sighed and said in a low voice. Then he found a number from his phone and sent it to Ruth, saying, "Go contact this person and let him come to see me."

After Ruth left, Schiller sent another message to Bruce, and also contacted Mr. Freeze and Two-Face.

Everyone who received the message was a bit inexplicable. What is "design the trap you think is the most cruel and creative, and write an infectious introduction"?

But regardless, Schiller paid, so they all followed suit. Bruce let the super-criminals he controlled brainstorm. The super-criminals obviously liked this job very much; discussing various cruel traps was much more interesting than playing cards.

And not long after, a figure wrapped tightly appeared in Schiller's office. He took off his hat, revealing a face that was severely corroded. It was the new Joker, Maria.

Schiller also told her the requirements. Maria was obviously more interested in this kind of thing, and not long after, she drew several pages of design drawings, each trap being both cruel and full of creativity.

Plus the homework handed in by the criminals in Arkham, Schiller was finally somewhat satisfied. He let Ruth find the previous painter, draw these things in a standardized way, and organize them into a book, making it look like a setting collection.

Ruth looked at this book, her expression very strange.

Seeing Schiller write an astronomical number under each trap, her expression was no longer describable as strange.

And when Schiller let her print this book and send it to the mailbox of each bettor according to the betting list, Ruth's expression was already a bit distorted.

But she still did it.

Soon, the bettors received this very bizarre book. The traps inside, besides collecting the achievements of human torture history, were also fully innovative, actively improved, and bravely reached new heights.

Many people vomited the first time they saw this thing.

However, the first page of the book stated the use of this thing—this is an official cheat.

Simply put, our gambling game is very fair and just. If you want to reach out, that's impossible. I'll chop one if one comes. If you don't believe it, try it.

But this doesn't mean you can only sit at home and wait for the result. To add fun to the game, the organizer specially added a pay-to-win option for everyone. As long as you pay, you can set traps in Arkham Asylum.

Then you can sit in the casino, leisurely watching these cruel traps kill the prison escape target chosen by your rival, watching them lose a large sum of money, and appreciating their faces that are darker than the bottom of a pot.

Regardless of whether the game is pay-to-win or not, just say whether this game is fun or not.

Generally speaking, people won't be perverted to this extent. However, the people who chose to bet were perverts themselves. These people were the type who pursued stimulation without a bottom line; otherwise, they wouldn't come to bet.

And stimulation is something that only has a threshold to be broken, and never has an upper limit, just like taking drugs. At first, it might just be smoking marijuana, later it has to become chemical drugs, and later, even if you burn your brain, you have to take an overdose, just to pursue stronger stimulation.

Using human life as play is also like this.

At first, it might just be pursuing playing with other people's lives in the palm of your hand, then you will start to pay attention to the way of playing, then you will be more interested in strange ways of dying, and then it will develop into requirements for both quality and quantity.

Leading people to good is difficult because kindness is always paying. But leading people to evil is very simple because humans start taking from birth.

Humans don't need to gaze into the abyss; as long as there is a little guidance, humans themselves are the abyss.

In the end, Schiller took back all the books, and each book had chosen at least one trap. Schiller also gained a large sum of money because of this.

The last page of the book had a map that could be unfolded, which marked the location of the criminal's cell and their bettor.

The number of criminals was not large, but there were many bettors. A bunch of names on the drawing were squeezed into a small room.

Most people chose to set traps at the door of the cell of the criminal bet on by their rival, but there were also some people who paid more attention to interests, wanting to eliminate the opponent who posed a greater threat to the person they chose first, and placed traps on their must-pass road.

There was also a part of people who were pure fun-seekers, placing traps directly at the door that everyone had to pass, and even on the message board on the second to last page of the book, requesting to update more ways to play.

Schiller naturally followed the trend. In the next letter, he explained the matter of the emergency restriction button to all bettors and told them that as long as they spent a little money, they could get a chance to draw the button.

"A little money" was not an exaggeration. Although these sums of money were a lot in the eyes of people like Ruth, they were actually only a few million US dollars. Cat Getan had too many poor people who only had money left.

Even if not all the wealthy people in Cat Getan were betting, just the hundred or so wealthy people in the upper class, the cash resources they mastered had already exceeded anyone's imagination.

They were almost the wealthiest people in the wealthiest city in the wealthiest country in the world. A few million US dollars were really a small amount of money to them, perhaps just a fraction of the dance party they held.

Many people chose to draw the button. The reason it was a draw was because there were many buttons, and to get the one you wanted, you couldn't buy it directly, but had to draw ten at a time. Fortunately, the probability was okay; within 20 million, you could basically draw the one you wanted.

The appetizers were eaten enough, and the main event naturally came next.

Of course, it didn't mean the game was about to start; the main event referred to the main event of pay-to-win—characters.

Interfering with opponents is a tactic, but you have to be strong yourself. Only if you cultivate your character to be strong enough can your winning rate be greater. This is a truth that even a three-year-old child understands.

Take Bane, for example. Under normal circumstances, he must carry the chemical tank on his back, because the gas inside is the fundamental reason he can be so strong.

But sorry, the most experienced attending doctor in Arkham Asylum just discovered that the chemical gas inside is not conducive to his recovery, so they took it off.

The Mad Hatter's brainwave control instrument, which is also the reason many people choose him, was just listed as a controlled weapon and was also taken away.

The Riddler unfortunately lost his voice due to the flu, the Scarecrow suddenly fell ill and couldn't get out of bed, Killer Croc fell into hibernation due to low temperature, and Deadshot cheated in the gambling game and had his fingers broken.

The game is about to start, but the criminals in Arkham Asylum are frequently having accidents because the new warden is not adapting to the management rules and is not managing well, and their abilities have suddenly turned into character fragments. If you don't draw, you can't fight at full capacity.

Some people might feel this is too childish. Don't those wealthy people know it's the warden's ghost?

But still the same sentence, it's not counting on the generosity of the wealthy, but leaving them with no choice.

Just when someone was hesitating, Schiller suddenly announced that in addition to their gambling funds, the money they spent on these paid items also entered the winner's prize pool, and he didn't take a cent.

And, he announced the current total betting amount.

The amount exceeded everyone's expectations.

Including those wealthy people. Now this sum of money is not a small amount to them.

More importantly, this money is cash, which is what people often call liquid funds. Anyone who has studied business a little understands how important liquid funds are.

This money is placed in their hands in a scattered way, and everyone can maintain a balanced situation. But if this money is concentrated in one person's hands, then he will be the cash king of Cat Getan.

So much liquid funds are enough to change Cat Getan's current commercial landscape. Although it won't cause major turmoil in every industry, it is precisely because it is unknown which industry it will fall into that makes people fearful.

No one in business doesn't want to monopolize. But no industry in Cat Getan can be completely monopolized; at most, it is almost monopolized, and there are still a few competitors.

Imagine, you were originally doing a certain industry, but suddenly your competitor got a large sum of cash, and the cash flow was so abundant that they could win you in the bidding of every project. This is a perfect positive cycle; the more money, the more meat you can eat, and the more meat, the more money you can earn.

Then the person who is eaten is naturally in a vicious cycle, the ways to make money are getting fewer and fewer, the cash in hand is getting fewer and fewer, and as time goes by, there will be no place for you to stand. ===== CHAPTER 3282 =====
