The Duke watched the two's opening performance, the fat on his face bunching together.
He had thought that a Difficulty 9 opening would give them a harsh welcome. Even if they made it through, they should at least lose a layer of skin and break a few bones, laying the groundwork for the orphanage gambling game's steadily increasing difficulty.
Who could have known,
The man and the Sick One had actually coordinated to this extent. Aside from a few cases of frostbite, they had suffered no injuries at all.
"This little fellow was transformed from the Human World and born with ties to celestial phenomena. He has already surpassed the usual standard for an Open Source User. He's even considerably stronger than the Open Source Users who were directly born on our side when the world was still operating normally.
"And he just happens to be Patient Zero, free from all restrictions.
"Fortunately, I caught him first. Now let's see whether he has what it takes to trade with me for the Moonlight Greatsword, which has never found a user."
The Duke did not care.
This gambling game had been temporarily designed according to Yi Chen's memories, so it was perfectly normal for there to be problems with the difficulty assessment. But winning the game for real would still take some effort.
Later, he could also turn the two's entire run through the "New World Gambling Game" into a complete walkthrough video and store it in the Memory Spore, selling it at a high price to various big shots for their enjoyment. As long as it was exciting enough, combined with the brand-new world in Yi Chen's memories, it would definitely fetch a good price.
