Chapter 311 The title is covered by chips
Lucky 38 Casino.
This is the most mysterious casino in the gambling district. Over the years since it opened, few people have been able to enter it.
People believe that only the truly wealthy and powerful can enter the Lucky 38 Casino, but this is not the case.
This casino has not been in operation for a long time. It is more like a chat room where the person in power meets his guests than a casino.
On the top floor of the casino, the postman walked slowly into an apartment. As soon as he entered the door, a device in the room started to work, and soon a holographic projection was projected.
A man with a cane, wearing a pre-war suit, raised his eyebrows at the postman playfully, then looked at the projection of his body, seemingly satisfied.
This person is the controller of the gambling district - Mr. House.
Before the outbreak of the nuclear war, House already had a large amount of industry and hard power.
Among other things, the Pip-Boy, the Raider Robot, the Eyebot, and even the terminals that can be found everywhere are all his industries, at least they used to be.
Before the nuclear war broke out, House used intelligence from multiple sources, summarized the information, and calculated through mathematical models to conclude that a nuclear war would break out.
Especially when he learned that his New Vegas was targeted by dozens or hundreds of nuclear bombs, even a strong man like House found it difficult.
He had to make many bold decisions, strengthen the defense of the casino, and build missile interception devices, just to protect his industry in the coming wasteland era.
House also locked his body in a life support chamber and connected his consciousness to his brain so that he could better control New Vegas.
Everything is just to be the eternal winner.
As it turned out, House was successful, but there were just a few details that went wrong.
The nuclear war broke out a day earlier than he expected, causing a platinum chip to fail to be delivered in time. It was a key item for upgrading the New Vegas control system.
As a result, House fell into a long sleep and missed a great opportunity to fight in the wasteland.
Even after waking up, he had to feign compromise with the rising NCR and Caesar's Legion to maintain the fragile balance between them.
It was not until 2281 that a postman took on the task of delivering the platinum chip and began his legendary experience.
After getting the help of the postman, House successfully upgraded the system of the casino. Now he is at the peak of his career, and even the NCR and the Legion combined have to give him some face.
Let’s get back to the point. As two people standing at the top of the Mojave Pyramid, their meeting this time was not just for a simple chat.
The postman sat carelessly on the sofa specially prepared for him, crossed his legs and asked, "What's the situation around the casino recently? What's going on with the White Glove Mafia?"
House shook his head helplessly and said, "The Mafia and the White Gloves, these two major forces seem to have come together with the Crimson Merchants."
"You also know what happened with the Crimson Merchants Group. Although they failed, they will definitely not stay still. They will definitely find a way to make another move."
"Thorn City and Liberty City are not stable either. Someone is buying up treatment needles and various medical equipment. It seems like they are planning to make a big move."
"Elvis came to me and said he wanted you to help investigate something, but you seem to be very busy recently. What are you busy with?"
The postman answered nonchalantly, "Just like before, running around everywhere. Even if I become the boss of Jiuchongtian, I can't change this habit of running errands."
"Why, are you going to support me with something good?"
House didn't answer immediately, but looked somewhere out the window, as if recalling something.
After a few minutes, he asked, "Casino Madre, are you sure you don't want to go there again?"
"I sent robots to explore the periphery. Ilya is still alive. This is a big obstacle to my next plan."
Hearing these two names, the postman's face instantly turned gloomy.
The memory of death was attacking him, making it hard for him to let go.
The postman shook his head firmly and said, "No, I will never step into the Madre Casino until Elijah dies."
"You know, that guy almost killed me, just a little bit."
"I didn't expect that he is still alive today, really..."
Seeing the postman's firm attitude, House didn't know what to say. After all, if he was pushed into a corner, he might really go straight to his original body and punch in.
House turned his gaze back to the crowd outside the casino and said, "My power is still too weak."
"There has been more and more friction between the NCR and the Legion in the past two years. I made a model prediction, and the initial prediction was that a conflict would break out in a year."
"But since the appearance of a certain Dragon Countryman two and a half months ago, my model has been completely disrupted, making it impossible for me to predict what will happen in the future."
Having said that, House waved his hand, and several robots behind him turned on the monitors, playing the footage of Yi Beiwang gambling.
Seeing Yi Beiwang's confident look as he stretched out his hand to bet five bullets, the postman really wanted to go up and give him five bullets.
Will this guy die if he keeps a low profile?
Sometimes I really don't understand what he is thinking.
Just as he was thinking, House looked at Yi Beiwang's appearance and asked, "I heard that you have been following this Dragon countryman recently. Can you tell me the reason?"
"Don't tell me this guy is an agent sent by Dragon Country, plotting to take over the mainland of Nano Country."
The postman waved his hand and said, "If he is really a Dragon Country agent, I will jump directly off the Hoover Dam."
"Well, this guy is a good player, you know what I mean?"
Although the postman didn't say it explicitly, House knew what he meant.
He looked at Yi Beiwang on the screen, but he couldn't see through this guy.
Thinking of the information he had collected about Yi Beiwang during this period, House suddenly thought of something and asked with some surprise, "Do you want him to be your successor?"
"Is it because the boss position of Jiuchongtian is too hot, or are the beauties in Las Vegas not pretty anymore? What makes you think this way?"
"Excuse me, this Yi Beiwang doesn't look like someone who can survive in Mohaveri. He is too clean."
The postman nodded and said, "That's what I value about him."
"House, I'm old."
"Cass has told me more than once that I should stop running errands. I don't really want to get involved in the turmoil in New Vegas."
"It can be said that my story has ended. There is no need for me to hang around anymore."
After saying that, the postman took off his helmet. A closer look revealed that there were a few white hairs mixed in with his blond hair.
Seeing this scene, House's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, but he concealed it well and mocked himself:
Oh, human beings, what a weak species we are.
Even a legend as strong as the Postman cannot resist the erosion of time.
Unlike me, I can continue to live until a new world rises from the wasteland.
I will live forever, alone, forever...
Before House could finish his thought, the postman suggested, "Maybe, we could let him go to the Madre Casino."
"Yi Beiwang has some strange abilities. I've suffered at his hands before. Let him deal with Ilya. Maybe he can help."
At this time, Yi Beiwang won the second bet of five-shot revolver and was surrounded by gamblers.
Seeing Yi Beiwang's high-spirited look, House watched silently for a few seconds and said, "Let's talk about it later. Who can predict the future?"
"But your friend seems to have a very strong sense of perception. Has he discovered us?"
The postman looked at the screen and saw Yi Beiwang first looking at his empty right hand side, and then looking at the monitor.
The pair of eyes stained with light green fluorescence seemed to be looking at them through the monitor.
