Chapter 409: A "Friend" I Didn't See for a Long Time
Lu Xi walked out of the "top of the furnace castle" and successfully abducted a master craftsman, which made him feel very comfortable. Although it costs a sum of money, Lu Xi feels that it is completely worth the money. A dwarven master is a rarity in its own right, and a master master who is so interested in firearms is even rarer among rarities. Even if Ogel is really just an elm head that does not open his mind, he will definitely be able to play a great role in the research of guided weapons.
Of course, if the future situation shows that this radio wave technology nerd can only play the role of a journeyman rather than a research developer, even if the other party still holds shares, Lu Xi will not be able to sit idly by. Either issue new shares or incorporate external investment, or major shareholders hold options on behalf of others, or engage in a vest to play the overall acquisition, the dignified "Goddess of Woods in Lingu Town" said that there are too many ways to kill you medieval natives by commercial means, and you can turn the other party from a partner into a pure worker with two casual tricks.
But Lu Xi sincerely hopes that such a thing will not happen.
Standing on Ziyuan Street, Lu Xi found that it was still early, far from the time for dinner. He didn't dare to go back to the inn to face Sehireu's sad and sad expression, and Lim's big eyes full of confusion and curiosity, and even though he decided that he would never go back to the hotel until the girls went to bed. Thinking of this, Lu Xi decided to find an interesting place to pass the time.
He walked through Ziyuan Avenue and came to the back alley, and found the restaurant opened by the halfling that Long Tao Jun Barron brought everyone to when he first arrived in Cold Harbor. Although it was far from dinner time, Lu Xi hadn't eaten lunch either, and he was really hungry now. Just settle it for dinner and lunch all at once.
After a hearty and delicious meal, Lu Xi dealt with the inexplicably overly enthusiastic halfling boss in a decent way. And casually asked about the fun places worth visiting nearby.
The halfling boss thought for less than a few seconds, then pointed diagonally across from his restaurant. There is a small gate about two or three hundred meters away in a straight line. The small door is open on the side of a four-story building, and there is no door that can be closed, and there is a staircase leading directly to it. Although it was afternoon, it should not have reached the peak hour of swimming, but Lu Xi had already seen people coming in and out of the stairs continuously, and at least fifty or sixty people had entered and exited in the short half an hour of eating.
Lu Xi could see that this halfling boss should also regard himself as a girl, so it was unlikely that that place would be a place of fat and pink flowers, and with his current strength. I'm not afraid that someone will set up an ambush and robbery, so I will say goodbye to the halfling boss right away.
He entered the door and slowly ascended the stairs, and the noise grew louder and louder.
When I climbed to the fourth floor, I saw a scene that suddenly opened up. The fourth floor of the entire building should have been completely opened, forming a very large hall that could accommodate several hundred people. The decoration in the hall is relatively exquisite, but it is not so extravagant that it makes people blind to the point of blindness, and it is carefully estimated at a glance. It just reached the upper limit of mass consumption psychology. On one side of the hall there is a long, elegant-looking bar that can seat thirty or forty people, and the wine cabinet in the bar is filled with all kinds of liquor and mixology materials. Lu Xi glanced at it and found that these wines naturally had different prices and qualities. But there is no such thing as a top-notch luxury that can make a middle-class family have to nibble on pickles and steamed buns in the second half of the year with a drink.
There is a relatively large space in the middle of the hall and a small circular stage, which should be performed for some entertainment, but it is still empty. It should be late. The rest of the place is decorated with a variety of tables, including round tables. There are also square and long tables, and of course there are a number of "amusement equipment" that have been adapted - such as digital roulette. Hamster tracks, card game tables and stuff. Although these "furniture" are of different styles, there is no sense of chaos in this hall.
The bustling crowd "fights" in front of various tables and "amusement props", "fighting", or cheering, or cheering, or mourning, or jumping to scold the mother. A whirlpool of desire or emotion gathered above them, as if condensed in the hall into a boiling and seductive fog, in which one could not help but fall into it, from which it could never be escaped.
…… What a picture of the world! Lu Xi thought. Isn't this a casino? In addition, if you use such a loving RPG card game as a gambling device, how many bear children's childhood are you loveless two-dimensional black-hearted businessmen who are willing to give up?
He glanced around, and soon saw a line of words on the wall: "This amusement city prohibits guests from using 'supernatural' powers such as magic, magic, and anger, especially prophecy magic. If found, a fine of between 1,000 and 1,000,000 bakers will be imposed, and if the circumstances are severe, the hands and feet will be cut off! Please be sure to be a tasteful and disciplined player~~~"
It's really a very ethical and etiquette casino! But then again, if you are really a top master in the Demon Dao or Martial Dao, if you really want to cheat with your ability, you won't be caught, right? Of course, such a master should not be bored to come to this kind of place to make money. Probably......
Since he has come, Lu Xi also decided to play for a while before leaving. On the one hand, he has a lot of spare money in his hand now, and on the other hand, he also believes that with his level 10 star card technique, even if he doesn't use magic to cheat, he can make a small amount of money, and he won't lose too badly.
He searched for a while, ready to find a table where he was playing star cards. Of course, the best opponents are the kind of tyrants who wear seven or eight rings, hold a cigar and hug Xiaomi, and don't treat money as money at a glance. Or the rich second-generation fool who combs the shiny nose of the plane with oily hair and powder, and the triangular eyes that look down at people with dog eyes, and always exudes a disgusting and handsome atmosphere. Of course, it's best to be the kind of "elite" little white face who thinks he is personable and chic, or a boy or a phoenix man, in short, he thinks he has capital, ability and appearance, and his gestures seem to be polite and decent, but in fact, he is already seen as an ant that can be stepped on casually on the side of the road, and he thinks that a casual throw of disgusting and handsome eyes can attract more than a dozen to throw him into his arms.
Win all three. Even if he wins them to take away all the underwear, Lu Xi has absolutely no psychological burden.
Took a turn. The third type was not found, but several first and second types were found. Lu Xi was just about to earn some pocket money for himself when he heard a commotion of anger.
The source of the sound was a square table by the window, surrounded by a number of people. The five teenage girls with their backs to Lu Xi are obviously in a group. Of course, there was only one person sitting on the side of the chair who took the field, and the rest were standing on the sidelines and watching nervously.
The spectators were two men and two women, which can be roughly divided into a pair in the youth group and a pair in the youth group.
The woman in the youth group is a brown-haired girl, although she is not a top beauty, but she is fresh and lovely, and she is a gentle and considerate girl next door. It doesn't fit well with the atmosphere of the casino. As for men, isn't it the thick-eyed and big-eyed dragon Jun, Barron? Karin's Brain Dead Powder No. 1, an older bear child who has passed her expiration date.
The female in the juvenile group is a twelve- or thirteen-year-old blue-haired girl with a double-tailed horsewhip, and Yuxue's cute face should have been seen somewhere, and the male is ...... Well, Lu Xi recalled it for a long time before he finally remembered, isn't it the strongest one in the bear child team that ambushed him before, the one who is ruthless and sophisticated, plus Karin's fanatical brain dead fan No. 2 - it seems to be called Bezarius.
All in all, this group of people is too out of place in the casino, both in appearance and temperament.
Of course. The few people watching the game are not too unreasonable compared to the one who is betting against others on the field...... In other words, as long as your common sense has not been squandered with the festival. No matter which casino you see a little Lori who is only thirteen or fourteen years old holding a large handful of gold coins and gambling with people, slapping the table and scolding her mother while opening cards, you will think it's a hell, right?
Lu Xi didn't think it was a hell of a thing. After all, he knew. It's just a little Lori who just looks very pink, cute, and cute.,The real identity is actually a legitimate Lori who has lived to an age that is not good to speak outright, will he talk nonsense about such a profound thing?
"I'll wipe it. This is already the thirteenth game, and I can't even make up a straight! Is this meowing playing with the old lady? It must be playing with the old lady! "Miss Witch Rosalie? Bourred slapped the table hard. The lolita sound that was an octave higher immediately attracted the attention of many people.
There was only a little money left in front of Miss Lori, probably only fifteen or sixteen gold coins and a small number of silver coins. In comparison, the direct opponent sitting opposite him had almost piled up a small mountain of gold coins in his hand, and there were at least three or four hundred of them. In this case, it either means that the other party is a stupid second shortage, as soon as it is on the table, he first grabs a large handful of gold coins and throws it out, indicating that Lao Tzu is very rich Lao Tzu is a fat sheep, senior gamblers and professional Lao Qian come to kill me, or it means that the other party is a master of gambling skills and star cards, and he won back all the money.
If you judge by the logic of a normal person, the latter should be more likely.
This person is a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a decent and delicate silver-gray robe, with a very strong sense of design, which makes the upper body appear more upright and powerful, and the cuffs are embroidered with dark red lace, which is very elegant. He has a handsome and handsome face, his facial features are full of three-dimensionality, and his blue eyes are bright but not too sharp. Her long brown hair was meticulously combed back of her head, neat and orderly.
In this medieval world, aristocratic men who have the conditions to wash their hair, comb their hair, perm their hair, and pull negative ions with long hair are not necessarily young people in the middle and second literary arts, but can only be said to be due to their character. Wearing embroidered lace bells and whistles is not necessarily a little sissy, but a reflection of taste.
All in all, this should be a very personable and valuable aristocratic young man, and it is also the type of brain-dead Lori who has no knowledge likes to be...... Wait, isn't this type the third type of person Lu Xi is looking for?
"As I said, Miss Bullred, gambling is a game of skill, experience, determination, and luck. You are just wasting money and time in such a hurry. ”
"My mother has money, and she has time, so she wants to waste it? It's your business! Miss Witch viciously whitened the personable noble boy opposite, and then threw the cards in her hand with a more vicious action, looked at the gambling money in front of her with some hesitation, and pushed out ten gold coins: "Open another game!" ”
“…… Not a smart choice. The aristocratic young man sighed slightly, as if he really didn't want to be worthy of the legitimate Miss Lori.
"Dent, this wild and untamable little wild cat, you can't teach her enough lessons. You don't need to show mercy to your subordinates, do you? The purple-haired young man sitting on the other side of the table smiled sarcastically, and it seemed that he should be with the young man called "Dunter".
Lu Xi felt that he didn't need to wait any longer, when he squeezed through the crowd and walked to the table. Except for Miss Witch, who was looking at the cards in her hand with a sad face, the men and women who were with him suddenly showed surprised expressions.
"Master ......" Barunjun, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, just wanted to speak, but was made a gesture by Lu Xi to be calm and not to be impatient.
Sure enough, Rosalie, who had already lost the most important and normal heart at the table, had a fiasco, and the remaining chips in her hand were no longer enough to go to the next round. Looking at Miss Witch's expression that was about to be weathered, the rich and handsome man named "Dunter" had not yet spoken, and the purple-haired man beside him had already let out a sharp laugh: "So, cute little wild cat, since you have lost to this point, isn't it time for your friend to fulfill his previous promise?" Don't worry, it's just a little bit...... Eh, eh! Why are you here? ”
The purple-haired man's arrogant words, which resembled the kind of stupid villain who gave the protagonist a slap in the face, became a voice that was almost terrifying to the point of collapse on the way. He had found himself opposite someone else, a person in his life who played the role of nightmares and diuretics, a person who, once he remembered it, couldn't help but recall the "refreshing" experience of incontinence.
"Yo, seaweed head, why haven't you seen you for nearly a year, and you still haven't grown at all! Didn't I sue you before? If you want to shake your prestige, you should find an opponent with the same specifications. (To be continued......)
