Chapter 1526: Chapter 490: Customization of Humanoid Machines

The Big Number Tendency is an extremely thrilling outcome of a throw.

Once chosen, you must passively accept it—a reinforced version of your own luck—manifested in the tracks of fate, confronting you with various events.

Not long after Wen Xishu left the casino, he originally planned to head straight to the CBD area of Mechanical City to buy an expensive humanoid mech and arm himself.

But soon, as Wen Xishu turned into a deserted street, he immediately sensed "danger."

[Distinguished platinum member, you may currently be tracked.]

This prompt made Wen Xishu immediately alert.

Sure enough, behind him, there appeared more than a dozen units. These units had special graffiti on them, such as roulette, playing cards, pai gow, and so on.

"Hey, you certainly made a splash today, all by yourself."

In Wen Xishu’s eyes, these units seemed almost identical; he could not distinguish who was who.

These people were all from the casino, having lost money—a type who lost not too much. Typically, under the guidance of the Fate Attendant, those who lose money in the casino end up borrowing and mortgaging their bodies.

Eventually, they become disposable materials or casino slaves.

But there’s another type of person in the casino known as the gambling gluttons.

They also lose money but rarely mortgage; once out of cash, they go to rob those in the casino with good fortune.

Like Wen Xishu.

The casino had been intimidated by Wen Xishu, refraining from taking action against him, but it was also curious about the forces behind Wen Xishu.

They dared not track Wen Xishu, yet they knew that the gambling gluttons would definitely target him. If Wen Xishu couldn’t handle even this, if tomorrow’s news showed TS74’s death...

Then the words TS74 said would not need much attention.

The gambling gluttons had greed in their eyes, with red combat lights flashing.

Wen Xishu knew a battle was inevitable; these gambling gluttons had robbed quite a few units, but they always targeted the newly rich poor.

In this city, poor people die every day, middle class falls into poverty; only poor people exist, and their deaths go unnoticed.

Robbing Wen Xishu was considered a bold move by the gambling gluttons.

Because they suspected Wen Xishu possessed a special algorithm that could suppress the casino.

"Brothers don’t want to trouble you. Leave half of your money or... tell us the secret that lets you keep winning at the casino, and let’s just become friends."

More than a dozen units slowly enclosed Wen Xishu.

This is not a human city; here units can possess arms. Officially, firearms don’t circulate at the lower levels, but in reality, lower-level units find ways to install firearms capable of penetrating steel; in Mechanical City, you can always get them if you desire.

As more than a dozen gun barrels pointed at Wen Xishu, he was somewhat panicked.

Leave half of the money?

That’s too cowardly, surely different from the persona he established.

Wen Xishu was unsure if encountering these gambling gluttons was a result of the Big Number Tendency.

He estimated the gap between himself and these units at that moment.

In an instant, Wen Xishu made a decision—first invade one, forcing it into a closed state, then seize the firearms, leveraging unit differences to take out a few as a deterrent.

He was at least a middle class.

Without extra words, Wen Xishu immediately attempted an invasion.

He invaded the one who spoke most arrogantly, seemingly the leader.

It must be said, these guys are addicted to gambling, always thinking of hitting it big; when they get a little money, they don’t consider arming and improving themselves but squander it on gambling.

So fundamentally, Wen Xishu was a level above these units.

Wen Xishu succeeded in invading, but only had five seconds. The invasion process consumed considerable energy.

He couldn’t be as leisurely and composed as the Gambling God.

At that moment, the leading gambling glutton fell into an absolute static state.

With a swift stride, Wen Xishu immediately seized the firearm.

His speed was rapid, at least faster than these lower-level units.

At this moment, the lower-level units quickly reacted; this guy intends to face them head-on.

A group of units immediately drew their weapons.

However, they quickly fell into a state of panic. They drew their weapons, but didn’t attack immediately; instead, they pointed their firearms at Wen Xishu, scrambling in a panic, just moving, not firing.

[Distinguished platinum member, they are reading an advertisement to obtain weapon protocol usage permissions. Estimated ad duration: 9 seconds.]

Wen Xishu found it amusing.

This membership does need to be opened.

If a group of units can’t fire for 9 seconds... that greatly impacts the battle outcome.

Wen Xishu instantly opened fire.

Bam! Bam bam bam!

The first shot to get a feel, then a three-shot burst, bullets pierced through the most basic steel-sheet-like bodies of the lower-level units, hitting the core.

Wen Xishu’s speed was quick, and the aiming ability of the Mechanical Race was top-notch.

After successive hits, he stylishly turned and fired four more bullets, scrapping another four units.

Within moments, Wen Xishu instantly obliterated half of the opponents. At this time, the opposing units hadn’t even finished watching the advertisement.

Wen Xishu was in control of victory.

But at that instant, the gambling glutton initially severed from sensing by Wen Xishu, fell into a closed state, suddenly turned red.

Instinctively, Wen Xishu sensed something was wrong. The next second...

A massive shock wave stunned Wen Xishu, blurring his consciousness.
