Chapter 609: Yorknew

Yorknew City at night is quite "lively." Although the fighting has ended, the screams of civilians are incessant.

Some infected individuals are running through the streets, attacking nearby civilians indiscriminately.

In less than half an hour, dense gunfire can be heard all over the city. In about two hours, the infected in the city are basically cleared.

Although the mutated corpse virus looks terrifying, the development direction of the withered corpses is to enhance individual strength, not the speed of transmission.

The infected created by withered corpses can transmit the corpse virus through wound contact, while second-generation infected do not possess this ability.

In other words, as long as the infected created by the withered corpses are killed off, the mutated corpse virus can be contained.

Yorknew City is a city without government jurisdiction; it belongs to gang forces and is managed by the Ten Dons.

The Ten Dons have significant power. These ten people manage all the gangs across six continents, with thousands of thugs under their command.

Relatively speaking, the Ten Dons' power is considered quite strong in the world of ordinary people, but among Nen-user factions, they only count as mid-to-lower tier.

The Ten Dons' strongest subordinates are the Shadow Beasts, Nen users, ten in total.

Judging from the performance of those ten Shadow Beasts, they are not too strong; Su Xiao has no problem taking on several of them alone.

From this, it can be seen that the Ten Dons' power can only dominate among ordinary people; they start to falter when facing Nen-user factions.

But one thing is certain: the Ten Dons' influence is vast. The annual Yorknew Auction is organized by them.

The scale of the Yorknew Auction can only be described as grand. It starts every year on September 1st and ends on September 10th.

During this period, countless rare treasures are auctioned, with a total value beyond imagination.

From September 1st to the 10th, not only is there a large-scale auction in the city center, but the entire Yorknew City becomes a trading market, gathering numerous merchants.

Therefore, even if one is not qualified to participate in the auction, one can visit the small stalls in Yorknew City; there are good things there too.

This situation leads to countless people rushing to Yorknew every year at the beginning of August. According to incomplete statistics, the number of people gathered in Yorknew between August and September exceeds 5 million.

From this, one can see the scale of the Yorknew Auction. Whether in terms of scale, auction item prices, or number of participants, the Yorknew Auction can be called the world's largest auction.

Su Xiao's destination is Yorknew City; as for what tasks follow, that remains unknown.

The deadline to reach Yorknew is 6 days. Given the transportation situation in the Hunter World, this time is very sufficient.

Although Su Xiao could ride Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang to Yorknew City, that is a last resort. Although Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang is not small, riding it for a long distance is by no means easy; it is back-breaking and painful, and this idiot is often absent-minded during long journeys, hitting trees is just a common occurrence.

Su Xiao consumes some mana, and the sleeve of his left arm gradually recovers. This is a built-in ability of the Lan Kai trench coat.

Putting Zhan Long Shan into his exclusive room, he walks out of the alley.

Bloodstains are faintly visible on the streets, passersby look hurried, and some men in black suits with cold expressions appear from time to time throughout the city; these are gang members.

"Quick! Find the cause of the unrest. If you can't find it, you should know the consequences."

"Yes."

There are many gang members on the streets. As a gambling city, Yorknew City is a cash cow second only to Yorknew City, so the Ten Dons attach great importance to this place and dispatched a large number of personnel the moment the incident occurred.

It is late now. After Su Xiao strolls on the street for a while, he finds that those gang members did not notice him.

Tearing off half a transparent mask from his face, Su Xiao restores his original appearance.

The technology in the Hunter World is advanced, and it is inevitable that there are surveillance facilities on the streets and alleys. He had already thought of this.

Ever since the incident with the Other Shore Flower Adventure Group, he has covered his face when clearing out rule-breakers. As the saying goes, caution is the parent of safety.

The chaos in the venue completely subsided at 10 PM that night. The explanation given by the gang controlling Yorknew City is that someone secretly transported poison gas bombs to Yorknew City, which led to the previous situation.

This explanation is somewhat hard to believe, but most of the people gathered in Yorknew City are gamblers. Around 11 PM that night, Yorknew City returned to its usual prosperity.

In the city center, inside a casino called "Golden Hunter."

This casino has thirty-five floors. Below the tenth floor is the general area, and above the tenth floor is the VIP area, which requires a certain amount of money to enter.

At this time, on the thirteenth floor of the casino, a semicircular gambling table is crowded with gamblers.

These gamblers are well-dressed and are successful people in various industries, but inside the casino, they take off their "masks" and show their respective greed.

The air is filled with the smell of cigars and wine. At the gambling table, a young man plays with an exquisite lighter, with some chips placed in front of him.

Before entering the Hunter World, Su Xiao exchanged 1 million Jenny. Jenny is the currency of the Hunter World, and the ratio to RMB is about 16:1; 1 RMB equals 16 Jenny.

Although one can use Paradise Coins to exchange for currency of derived worlds within Reincarnation Paradise, there is a limit. After exceeding the limit, the cost of Paradise Coins increases sharply.

For example, 100 Paradise Coins can be exchanged for 1 million Jenny, but if one wants to exchange for 10 million Jenny, it would cost about 7000-8000 Paradise Coins. If one wants to exchange for 100 million Jenny, the cost would be even more terrifying.

In the Hunter World, with enough Jenny, one can buy small nuclear bombs, which is why Reincarnation Paradise limits the amount of Jenny obtained.

Because of this, Su Xiao, having nothing to do at night, came to the casino. He intends to win a sum of Jenny for his expenses in the Hunter World. The amount doesn't need to be too much; several tens of millions of Jenny is enough.

At the gambling table, Su Xiao casually throws out a few chips. The game method of this table is very simple: bet on Heaven, Earth, or Harmony. If one feels lucky, one can also bet on a specific number between 1 and 50.

1-20 is Earth. 20-30 is Harmony, 30-50 is Heaven.

Betting on Heaven or Earth doubles the payout, Harmony triples it, a specific number multiplies it by ten, number 1 multiplies it by twenty, and number 50 multiplies it by fifty.

There are other rules, but Su Xiao only starts betting after understanding the general idea.

The disk in the center of the gambling table starts to rotate. There are 50 small compartments on the disk, which are exactly 50 numbers, and a small ball rolls on the disk.

"Place your bets."

The dealer closes the bets. Su Xiao bets 100,000 Jenny on "Harmony."

"Harmony."

The assistant beside the dealer starts to settle the chips. Chips worth 300,000 Jenny are pushed in front of Su Xiao.

For Su Xiao, sensing the movement trajectory of that small ball is very simple, but the casino occasionally cheats, which makes his speed of winning money much slower.

Su Xiao is not winning money quickly, but winning for a while and losing for a while. Now the Gentleman Alliance is in Yorknew City, and he doesn't want to be exposed in the open.

Around 1 AM that night, Su Xiao won about 20 million Jenny. The casino people didn't come to cause trouble; this is the result of the casino deliberately letting him win. New gamblers can always win money, no matter where they are.

In gambling, only the casino is the winner. ===== CHAPTER 610 =====
