Chapter 36: [Joker Poker] Breaking the Appointment with Lu Wei
Zhai Da opened the curtains and carefully examined the newly purchased [Joker Poker] facing the sunlight.
The first feeling is exquisite.
The outer shell is a thin metal box, and the way it is opened is similar to the Bluetooth headset in the previous life, with a magnetic effect.
With a flick of his thumb, fifty-four neatly arranged playing cards were revealed.
Zhai Da took out a piece of paper, and the edge was a little prickly...
According to the system, it is made of tin alloy. Zhai Da has seen such thin metal cards before, such as the "Buddha's Way to the Yuan Dynasty Amulet" sold in temples, but the texture of the one in his hand is different, soft and tough.
Aside from their weight, basic and regular playing cards can be bent to the same degree, but it requires a fair amount of force.
The back of the metal playing card is matte gray-black with only a huge cursive "J", which should mean Joker.
Fortunately, the suspension system did not give a huge "ugly".
The main body of the front is white, with a texture close to enamel, and the content is the same as ordinary poker, with thirteen cards in each of the four suits, and the patterns of J, Q, and K are nothing special. He doesn't know much about poker.
Oh, there are some differences. On the Joker and the Big Joker cards, there are two envelopes drawn, and in the center of the envelopes is a heart.
The "clown" pattern was replaced with a "love letter" pattern...one in black and white, one in color, in different sizes.
Zhai Da smacked his lips and thought that there was no need to make the presence of "synthetic materials" felt in such a place.
"Besides inheriting the effects of the two materials, it's also slightly enhanced. The biggest difference is that it now takes the form of playing cards and has the special effect 'Spotlight'. You need to complete a quest to unlock it..."
In fact, he wanted to say that such a special thing is quite eye-catching in itself...
He tried to play it, but because the [Joker Poker] itself was quite heavy, Zhai Da seemed very clumsy and couldn't even shuffle the cards smoothly.
Zhai Da took out one and threw it out with all his strength.
The metal poker flew quickly to the edge of the wardrobe, and with a bang, it actually cut a mark.
Of course, because he had no skills, it was only a shallow mark, and the metal poker fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"Besides the 'close-up magic' required for the unblocking mission, maybe you could learn some card throwing and use the [Old Man's TV] to play some videos..."
Zhai Da seemed to be lost in thought.
If you want to use it well, you may need to learn something... But even if you just use it as a piece of equipment that provides BUFF, it's not bad.
Humor aside, lies, magic tricks, tricks, and sweet talk are not easy to be exposed.
It is quite practical to wear.
Especially the latter...sorry, I meant the former.
I was having a great time playing when I heard Yu Xiaoli's voice outside the door: "Xiao Da! Ask where Lu Wei is? Shouldn't you go downstairs to pick her up?"
"Oh! I'll ask right away!"
Zhai Da put the poker into his pocket and walked out while sending a message to Lu Wei: "Where are you?"
As a result, there was no reply for a long time.
Zhai Da waited for a while, then went downstairs and waited at the entrance of the community.
Occasionally I will have a deck of playing cards in my hand to play with. The workmanship of this thing is really exquisite, and I like it more and more the more I look at it.
But after waiting for more than ten minutes, there was still no sign of him, and no one replied to his messages. Zhai Da had no choice but to climb the stairs back home.
"Mom, you didn't cook the vegetables, did you?"
"No, I'm just waiting for someone to come and put it in the pot. All the preparations are done. What's wrong?"
"Lu Wei might be late. She didn't even reply to my message."
Yu Xiaoli looked at her son suspiciously: "Do you have her phone number?"
She doesn’t have one... It seems that Xiao Lu doesn’t have a cell phone. She asked about it on Lu Wei’s first day at work.
"These are all minor details. I'll go down and wait. Maybe my phone is out of battery."
After all, the Nokia 3310 I gave you is electronic waste from the millennium, so it’s not surprising that the battery is swollen. This possibility cannot be ruled out.
I returned to the gate of the community again and waited for more than half an hour this time.
Still no one came, and no reply to the message.
This was far beyond the normal range of being late, and Zhai Da had a bad feeling.
When I returned home for the third time, Yu Xiaoli was already sitting on the sofa, but her expression was a little worried.
"How about...we eat first?" Zhai Da said tentatively.
Yu Xiaoli shook her head. "I'm worried about Lu Wei. I wonder if she's encountered something... I just asked the factory, and her registered address is 273 Laodong Street, Sunma Village. Xiaoda, you can go take a ride and take a look. Take Xingfu Road."
Zhai Da tilted his head and said, "That makes sense, but why don't I take a taxi? It's several miles away."
"What if I miss it by taking a taxi? I might catch it by riding a bike, and it can also help me lose weight."
This whole...
Zhai Da could only ride on a 28-inch bicycle and follow the so-called road to happiness.
In fact, he thought this method was stupid. People who were used to living in big cities might have a different understanding of finding someone than those in small towns. Zhai Da thought this was incredibly inefficient. In the past, in Shanghai, you couldn't even find someone within a few hundred meters, let alone a few kilometers.
.
When people look for someone, they will be quite anxious.
But for someone who has lived in Dongyang County all her life, Yu Xiaoli knows every street and every corner by heart. She may not think there is anything wrong with riding her bike in the opposite direction to find it, especially now it is 2008.
Sunmazhuang is about six kilometers away from Sanmao, and it takes about 20-30 minutes to ride fast. At first, Zhai Da didn't plan to ride all the way there. He just rode with the idea of meeting her on the road, and called Ms. Yu every ten minutes to confirm whether she had missed her.
But until he entered the so-called "Sunma Village", Lu Wei had not arrived at the Sanmao community, so he could only continue to look for No. 273 Laodong Street.
Sunmazhuang is a township-level area under Dongyang County. However, due to its close distance, it was gradually integrated with urbanization more than ten years ago.
The difference is that this side is more broken.
Not to mention the surrounding wasteland and farmland, the core area is actually very small. At a glance, it is difficult to see buildings higher than four stories.
The Manchuria was only a few blocks wide, surrounded by a bumpy national highway in the middle. Large trucks often sped past with a rumbling sound, and Zhai Da's palms were sweating as he rode his bike.
Don't send it back to the dump truck...
Just a few minutes later, Zhai Da found the so-called No. 273 Xingfu Road.
An old, dilapidated residential building with only two floors, earth-yellow walls and small, square windows.
Needless to say, this kind of strange residential building must have been built by a factory. It is built at will and has a kind of stupid beauty.
At this time, several adult men were squatting at the door smoking. They all had crew cuts, and some even had tattoos.
Zhai Da took a look from a distance and smacked his lips...
The worst happened.
Instead of walking over there directly, I bought a bag of red sugar and a bottle of mineral water from the nearby store.
I scratched my hair with mineral water and it looked like a hedgehog.
Both sleeves were rolled up to the shoulders.
Change your social skin.
Feeling that something was missing, Zhai Da lifted up his clothes, revealing his belly with a little fat.
Conditions are limited, otherwise I should wear a chain, but this look is enough for now.
If he is not a psychopath, then he must be a gangster.
Zhai Da walked over with a wide step.
Zhixi's pace attracted the attention of several strong men.
Zhai Da raised his chin to signal, and flicked the bottom of the box with his finger. Two cigarettes flew out and he threw one over to him.
“Brother, are you here to see Lu Benqing too?”
