The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle

Behind Su Qi was a pile of various items, along with numerous notes.

"Started?"

"Yes!"

The other party gritted his teeth.

And the next moment.

The other party stared intently at the dice on top: "I..."

"Lost."

He uttered the two words as if he had been drained of all his strength.

"I have completely lost everything."

"Well, that's unfortunate," Su Qi said, "Just use your Spiritual Energy to write down the previous content on this debt note, and then next, please."

"Ah."

The person dejectedly got up, sighing as he vacated the spot.

Otto was somewhat baffled: "???"

Wait a minute, what's with all this?

It didn't seem like everyone was bullying the newcomer, but rather, this newcomer named Su Buxian was fighting battles on all fronts.

And, moreover.

The key point was that after calling for the next person, no one else could take the seat. Everyone checked their own pockets and spatial bags and heaved deep sighs.

"Yo, big brother Otto."

Su Qi also saw Otto and stretched out his hand to greet him: "Have you finished building already?"

Otto massaged his forehead: "Built, yes, but... what is all this about?"

"How to put it."

Divine Eye spoke quietly from the side: "He alone, he beat us all, and hasn't lost a single round up to now."

"??" Otto exclaimed in shock: "How is that possible, he couldn't have cheated, could he!"

"Hey." Su Qi's eyebrows raised: "I could sue you for slander, you know."

"Just lucky, bro."

Everyone forehead turned dark, lucky my ass.

Divine Eye sighed even deeper: "It's not just about being lucky..."

"Luck games are only part of it, gambling with all kinds of games, skill-based games, various chess skills, intelligence, strategic confrontations."

"We were all beaten one by one, and in the end, we felt that the games of chance were our highest chance of winning."

These words left Otto even more stunned!

"How is that possible!"

"You all are... top-notch... existences, one by one."

Truth be told.

The reason everyone wanted to gamble was because each person held outstanding and top-notch abilities in various domains, so aside from passing the time, it was also a way to ensure they retained their passion and competitive spirit.

But unexpectedly, these people were beaten by Su Qi in every domain and aspect.

And Su Qi was being modest about it, waving his hand: "Nah, it was all because you let me win."

"Of course, if I must say it, a bit of natural talent, sweat, and effort does play a part." Su Qi gestured a tiny gap with his fingers.

Everyone's faces darkened even more. Although they had only gambled for around 30 hours, they had got to know this Su Buxian fellow fairly well and knew that modesty wasn't exactly his thing.

Yet they found nothing to retort, because their loss was too severe, and they had nothing to say.

After all.

All the methods of gambling, the confrontations, were conducted under the principle of fairness, with various restrictions, and there was no chance for cheating.

And all the items that were bet also came with... Spiritual Energy certification, a mark of their credibility, and they wouldn't betray that.

"Alright, you all just got too carried away, betting so big one after another." Otto shook his head helplessly, pointing to the treasures behind Su Qi:

"Even giving away your most important possessions, how impulsive."

Everyone opened their mouth but said nothing.

Otto seemed to sense something was amiss: "What's... what else is there?"

Divine Eye coughed:

"There's also our various estates outside, and..."

"... a contract."

Otto was silent, grinding his teeth: "You guys, really..."

"What is this contract!"

"Don't get too worked up, big brother Otto, it's not a sell-yourself contract." Su Qi reassured: "It's just making them join my Hustlers Sect, to become a member of the Hustlers, and though the time everyone signed for are different, they're all over a hundred years."

Otto's eyes bulged in shock!

"Isn't this freaking indentured servitude!!!"

He looked at the crowd!

As one of the oldest beings here and the big brother to all,

the crowd ultimately couldn't resist his questioning stare and bowed their heads one after another!

However, Divine Eye seemed quite positive, "Actually, it's not a big deal, because... we can't get out anyway, right?"

To tell the truth, the reason they were willing to make such a bet, to be so reckless, was partly because of this.

It was a case of being resigned to breaking the jar.

Su Qi hesitated for a moment.

What, if you guys get out, you want to back out?

But no need to worry, these people are not like those evil beings from the Abyss, and these items all carry their own [Spiritual Force], which is authoritative. This momentum of the strong is accumulated, saved up, to form the posture of the powerful!

To go against it would actually diminish their Spiritual Force and turn them into mediocrity.

"Alright, it looks like nobody has... er, no one wants to make any more bets, so I'm gonna head out."

Su Qi waved his hand: "Members of The Hustlers Sect, conserve your energy, see you later."

Crowd: "..."

Otto, on the other hand, was looking at this scene, stroking his beard and showing a wry smile: "You guys, it's time to learn from your losses, disperse."

Sure enough, every new guy wasn't simple; Su Buxian actually managed to make a lot of people suffer a big loss. It seemed unhelpful to the current situation at a glance, but it still managed to stir up everyone's vitality again.

And Su Qi took everything into his Item Slot, including a large number of servitude... ah no, The Hustlers Sect recruitment contracts.

Just like that, gotcha!

And next, it was time to figure out a way to leave.

Su Qi and Otto were walking on the road.

He was listening to Otto while simultaneously communicating with [Xiao Meng].

Xiao Meng was fully activated and, just like a being from the Present World... it seemed to have Ascended.

The entire calculation and ability had undergone a qualitative change.

If previously Xiao Meng was an information quantity of a World-level, now it was the massive information quantity of fifty World-levels.

Improving fiftyfold in all aspects from before.

At the same time.

Some of the hi-tech blueprints that couldn't be deciphered with the help of Xiao Meng were now being materialized and decoded.

[Master, crafting these items is difficult since the necessary materials are scarce and spread across a vast array of different worlds, isn't using this blueprint a bit too challenging?]

[Moreover, it's extremely difficult to control the items crafted from these blueprints, it requires time to familiarize]

"No worries."

Su Qi calmly said:

"There are many extraordinary people here, anything can be solved, anything can be mastered."

"You just present the blueprints, and I'll paint the picture for everyone."

[Yes!]

Otto took Su Qi to the research lab.

"How is it?"

Su Qi looked at everything here, giving a thumbs up: "Otto my man, you're freaking awesome!"

"You actually did it!"

"This is exactly what I imagined!"

Su Qi couldn't stop praising.

Otto, flattered by the compliments, stroked his beard and laughed heartily:

"Of course! I've poured a lot of effort into this! This place is my most invested project!"

With other creations... to be honest, he could easily craft them in less than half an hour.

But for Su Qi's requests, the variety of items with detailed parameters required a great deal of attention to details to reach perfection.

And although he might look unrefined, he loves delving into these perfect detail-oriented items, hence using a lot of strength.

But he also enjoyed it greatly!

"And if you have any other requests, just let me know!"

Otto confidently slapped his Forging Hammer and laughed: "I tell you, me and my hammer haven't been this addicted in a long time."

The Forging Hammer emitted a dull roar, as if it was sentient, responding to Otto.

"Wouldn't it be a bit... too much trouble for you, Otto my man?"

Instead, Otto slapped Su Qi's shoulder: "Kid, don't be shy with me! I don't like people who beat around the bush!"

Su Qi showed a smile: "That's great!"

He slowly reached out his hand and, under Otto's stunned gaze,

pulled out a stack of lists.
