Chapter 3292 Bloodshed in New City (Forty-one)
The things listed on the paper are very strange. For example, there must be 20 blocking traps and 20 damaging traps, and there must be different types of damage, such as cutting, crushing, burning, etc. Each one must be given a cool name, a short introduction, and preferably a 3D animation. It would be even better if a model could be made.
Ruth was completely confused. She had no idea what these things were.
Of course she had heard about the gambling, but in her opinion, it was just an abstract thing created by a group of people who had nothing better to do and had money but nowhere to spend it.
"Shouldn't you just spend the money and wait to hear the results at home? What are you doing?"
Although she was puzzled, Ruth did not intend to ask. Before she left, she found that Schiller looked disappointed, as if he could not wait to tell her about the plan.
After discovering this, Ruth left even faster.
Ruth did not disappoint Schiller. After working as a manager for so many years, she still had some connections. She quickly brought back a list and a design drawing with what Schiller wanted.
This basically met Schiller's requirements, but Schiller always felt that something was missing after looking at it.
Seeing Schiller's heavy face, Ruth asked tentatively: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Schiller shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's actually pretty good, but it just doesn't feel exciting enough."
"Isn't this exciting enough?" Ruth hesitated, but she still said, "This already contains all the traps in horror movies that can be realized in reality."
"You made this based on a horror movie?"
"The person I'm looking for is a horror movie fan." Ruth thought for a moment and said, "He's an art major and a handicraft practitioner, so he can draw the design so quickly."
"Has he ever practiced it?"
"This... If I say there is absolutely no such thing, you won't believe me. But in fact, this kind of thing cannot be tested by catching one or two ordinary people. It is too troublesome to deal with."
Schiller took a look at the trap on the design and felt that Ruth was not lying to him. If this trap was used to kill people, it would not only be unsightly and inefficient, but also very difficult to clean up, which would tire the killer to death.
"It still doesn't work." Schiller sighed and whispered. Then he found a number on his phone and sent it to Ruth, saying, "Go contact this person and ask him to come 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 little confused. What does it mean to "design the most cruel and creative trap you think, and write an infectious introduction"?
But no matter what, Schiller paid them, so they all did it. Bruce asked the super criminals under his control to brainstorm. The super criminals obviously liked this job, and discussing various cruel traps was much more interesting than playing cards.
Not long after, a tightly wrapped figure appeared in Schiller's office. He took off his hat, revealing a face that was severely corroded. It was the new clown Maria.
Schiller told her the same request. Maria was obviously more interested in this kind of thing, and soon she drew several pages of design drawings, each of which was cruel and creative.
With the addition of the assignments submitted by the criminals in Arkham, Schiller was finally somewhat satisfied. He asked Ruth to find the previous artist to draw these things in a standardized manner and organize them into a book, making it like a setting collection.
Ruth looked at the booklet with a strange expression.
After seeing Schiller write an astronomical number under each trap, his expression was no longer just weird.
When Schiller asked her to print out the booklet and send it to each bettor's mailbox according to the betting list, Ruth's expression was already a little distorted.
But she did it anyway.
Soon, the bettors received this bizarre booklet. The traps in it not only combined various achievements in the history of human torture, but also fully innovated, actively improved, and set new records.
Many people vomited the first time they saw this thing.
However, the first page of the booklet clearly states the purpose of this thing - this is an official cheat.
In short, our bet is very fair. If you want to take advantage of it, it's impossible. I'll chop one off for you. If you don't believe me, try it.
But this doesn't mean that you can only sit at home and wait for the result. In order to make the game more interesting, the organizers have specially added a krypton gold option for everyone. As long as you pay, you can set traps in Arkham Asylum.
Then you can sit back in the casino and watch these cruel traps kill the prison escape targets chosen by your mortal enemy, watch them lose a lot of money, and admire their faces that are darker than the bottom of a pot.
Don’t worry about whether the game requires pay-to-win or not, just tell me whether it’s fun or not.
Generally speaking, people are not so perverted. However, those who choose to place bets are perverts themselves. If these people were not the kind of people who pursue excitement without any bottom line, they would not place bets.
Stimulation has a threshold that can be exceeded, but there is never an upper limit, just like taking drugs. At first, you may just smoke marijuana, then it will turn into chemical drugs, and later you would rather burn your brain than take excessive amounts, all for the sake of pursuing stronger stimulation.
The same is true when playing with human lives.
At first, you may just want to play with the life and death of others, then you will start to pay attention to the way of playing, then you will be more interested in bizarre ways of death, and then develop requirements for both quality and quantity.
It is difficult to lead people to be good, because kindness always requires giving. But it is easy to lead people to be evil, because human beings start to ask for things from birth.
Human beings do not need to gaze into the abyss; with a little guidance, they themselves are the abyss.
In the end, Schiller collected all the books, and each book had at least one trap selected, and Schiller also earned a large sum of money.
The last page of the booklet has a map that can be unfolded, which marks the location of the criminals' cells and their bettors.
There weren't many criminals, but there were many bettors. A large number of names on the drawing were crowded into a small room.
Most people would choose to set the trap at the door of the cell of the criminal they have bet on, but some people are more concerned about profit and want to eliminate the opponents who pose a greater threat to the people they have chosen first, so they set the trap on the path they must pass.
Some people are just there for fun, and they place traps directly at the main entrance that everyone must pass through, and even leave messages on the message board on the second-to-last page of the booklet, requesting for more ways to play.
Schiller was naturally eager to follow suit. In his next letter, he explained the emergency restrictions button to all punters and told them that they could get a chance to draw the button by paying a small amount of money.
"Small money" is not an exaggeration. Although this amount of money may seem like a lot to someone like Ruth, it is actually only a few million dollars. There are too many people in Gotham who are so poor that they only have money left.
Even if not all the wealthy people in Gotham are betting, the cash resources controlled by the hundreds of wealthy upper-class people alone are beyond anyone's imagination.
They are the richest people in the richest city in the richest country in the world. A few million dollars is just a small amount of money for them, and it may even be just a small amount for them to hold a dance party.
Many people chose to draw buttons. The reason for drawing is that there are many buttons. If you want to get the one you want, you can't buy it directly, but you have to draw ten by ten. Fortunately, the probability is not bad, and you can basically draw what you want within 20 million.
After finishing the appetizers, it’s time for the main event.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that the game is about to begin. The highlight is the highlight of the game that requires spending money - the characters.
Disrupting your opponent is a tactic, but the iron must be strong before it can be forged. Only by training your own character to be strong enough can you have a greater chance of winning. 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 in it is the fundamental reason why he can be so strong.
But sorry, the most experienced attending physician at Arkham Asylum just discovered that the chemical gases in here are not conducive to his recovery, so they removed it.
The Mad Hatter's brainwave controller is also the reason why many people choose him, but this thing has just been listed as a controlled weapon and has been taken away.
The Riddler unfortunately lost his voice due to the flu, Scarecrow had an emergency and couldn't get out of bed, Killer Croc went into hibernation due to the low temperature, and Deadshot cheated in a bet and had his fingers broken.
The game is about to start, but the criminals in Arkham Asylum are in trouble because the new director is not used to the management rules and is not managing well. Their abilities suddenly turn into character fragments. If you don't draw, you can't play with full life.
Some people may think that this is too naive. Don't those rich people know that it was the dean who did it?
But again, it’s not about counting on the generosity of the rich, but leaving them with no choice.
Just when someone was hesitating, Schiller suddenly announced that in addition to their gambling money, the money they paid for these additional paid items would also go into the winner's prize pool, and he would not take a penny.
And, he announced the current total amount of bets.
The amount was beyond everyone's expectations.
This also includes the wealthy. This amount of money is not a small amount for them.
More importantly, this money is cash, which is often referred to as working capital. Anyone who has studied business knows how important working capital is.
If the money is dispersed among them, everyone can maintain a balanced situation. But if the money is concentrated in one person's hands, he will become the cash king of Gotham.
This amount of liquidity is enough to change Gotham's current business landscape. Although it won't cause a major upheaval in every industry, it's still unpredictable because we don't know which industry it will affect.
There is no business that does not want to monopolize. However, no industry in Gotham can achieve complete monopoly, at most it is almost monopolized, and there are still a few competitors.
Imagine that you were originally in a certain industry, and suddenly your competitor got a large sum of cash, with an absurdly abundant cash flow, and could beat you in bidding for every project. This is a perfect positive cycle, the more money you have, the more meat you can eat, and the more meat you have, the more money you can make.
Those who are being eaten will naturally fall into a vicious cycle. There will be fewer and fewer ways to make money, and the cash in hand will become less and less. As one thing increases while the other decreases, you will have no place to stand.
