Chapter 60 There is a toy called playing cards (Part 2)



She had received the most orthodox aristocratic education with her twin brother Guru since she was a child. In some ways, she seemed to be more rigid than Guru. She only talked and laughed with Wu Lai, Helen, Odo and Ye Renwu. When facing Ke Li and the housekeeper she brought with her, her attitude was serious with a little bit of humility that was not easy to find. As for the slaves, Loli never had to look at them straight in the eye...

However, the arrival of Lolita has brought a lot more fun to the Green Building. She seems to be a natural communicator. After only spending a short time with Helen and the other three, she can already put her arms around Helen's waist and whisper in her ears with a smile. She can also make faces at Night Blade Dance and lick her armpits. She even dares to tease a tough warrior like Odo one after another, and Odo doesn't even get angry.

However, what surprised Wu Lai was that apart from being a little too intimate with him when they first met, the loli had no more intimate words or actions. This inevitably made Wu Lai secretly alert. He didn't believe that the loli who kept saying that she wanted to marry him every time they met could always treat him so courteously.

After much hesitation, Wu Lai arranged Loli to be on the same floor as him.

At the end of dinner, Lori tapped her wine glass, then she put her arm around Helen and said, "I'm going to sleep with Sister Helen tonight."

"Lori, your room is ready. I promise it will be comfortable." Wu Lai said. He didn't think it was a good idea to let Lori sleep with Helen.

"No, at least not tonight." Loli looked at Wu Lai with a half-smile, "I have a lot to say to Sister Helen."

Wu Lai was startled and his eyes turned to Helen.

When Helen saw him looking over, she knew that Wu Lai wanted her to make the decision, so she smiled and said, "Okay, I just want to hear Loli talk about the customs and culture of Saipan."

Since Helen herself agreed, Wu Lai naturally had nothing to say. He immediately stood up and prepared to proceed to the next step - checking the installation of the paper cutter. But just when he thought that today would go smoothly, the loli, who had already followed Oddo and Ye Renwu out of the restaurant with Helen in her arms, ran back.

"Wu Lai, I can smell it with my nose. You and Helen have a special relationship. So, as a person favored by God, you'd better pray to God Amon tonight to take care of you. Don't let me know your true relationship from Helen." When Loli said this, her eyes were twinkling with admiration and the corners of her mouth had a sweet smile, which made Wu Lai shiver three times.

However, important business cannot be delayed.

After Wu Lai checked the paper cutter, he closed the copper casing of the paper cutter himself, and then asked Klee to invite Helen and the other four people over. For a "killer weapon" like this in life production that has an absolute leading advantage, he has no intention of sharing the structure with others for the time being.

Soon four people came.

As soon as they entered the door, Helen and the other four were immediately attracted by the two paper cutters in front of them.

"Wu Lai, what is this?" Loli was the fastest to ask.

"It is used to cut paper. It can cut large sheets of paper into small sizes as needed. Using it to cut is both neat and can reduce waste." Wu Lai briefly introduced the two objects, each eight cubits long, four cubits wide, and three and a half cubits high.

"Wu Lai, is this also a revelation from the god Amon?" Ye Renwu asked curiously.

"Hmm..." Wu Lai hesitated for a moment and nodded, "In fact, it has a lot to do with God's revelation."

"Oh." Loli nodded, not quite understanding.

Helen on the side looked at it curiously and asked, "Wu Lai, can you show it to us?"

"Of course." Wu Lai smiled slightly and moved a stack of specially made thick paper from the wooden table by the wall. This stack of paper was actually playing cards with printed patterns, but they had not been cut yet.

Wu Lai neatly stacked the paper stack in the wooden paper feed slot, then calmly aimed at the ruler and pushed the paper stack into the cutting slot. After making sure there was no deviation, Wu Lai pulled the paper feed slot back a little, then shook the lifting wheel, and a pedal under the cutting machine also rose rapidly.

Wu Lai's foot immediately touched the pedal, and then he stepped hard. A dull cutting sound came from the copper shell. Wu Lai glanced through the observation hole, smiled slightly, and pushed the paper feed slot...

After a while, the original large stack of paper turned into stacks of playing cards.

"Huh?" Loli came over happily, stretched out her hand, and grabbed the playing cards.

"Don't move." Wu Lai quickly stopped Loli, "Don't rush to touch it now, there are still a few more steps."

Loli was startled: "Not finished yet?"

"Of course not." Wu Lai smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking that even if it was done, why would he need your pure lacquer? Pure lacquer was the last step, and before that, the red dye needed for the red hearts and cubes had not been applied yet.

Yes, even as the five people were talking, in another room, two color-mixing slaves were diligently grinding cinnabar and ochre with two foot-operated pestles.

"This..." Ye Jianwu's eyes seemed to have never left the paper cutter from the beginning, "It seems to be able to cut leather shields and leather armor."

"Leather armor and leather shields are the favorites of the Tianjuan people. They are not used much in Assyria." Oddo said. He was right. Among all the territories on the continent, the Tianjuan people were the only ones who used leather armor and leather shields as standing weapons, because they were more keen on pursuing speed - wearing leather armor and carrying a leather shield, they would definitely run faster and farther than wearing bronze armor and carrying a bronze shield.

“In my Woolley’s eyes, I’d rather have it cut paper because that would undoubtedly generate more profit,” Woolley said with a smile.

Helen was stunned, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Four days later, Rini slammed the table and got angry because according to the agreement, Wu Lai should have come to report to him on the progress this morning, but the guy didn't show up until noon.

Fortunately, someone finally came after a while. It was Oddo - he came to replace Woolley.

"Odo, tell me, where is that bastard Wu Lei now?" Lini's roar almost hit Odo's face.

Odo tried to hold back his laughter and turned his head away while saying, "Vice President Lini, Wu Lai asked me to ask for leave from you. He said it will take another two days before I can report to you."

"Two days later? Two more days later?" Lini was so angry that he almost pulled his hair out. "It's been two days already. Tell me, what is he doing now?"

"Oh, I really don't want to tell you, but since you want to know so much, I'll tell you." Oddo tried his best to hold back his laughter. "Woolelindo sells a new toy in the central square, called God-given playing cards."

"God-given? God-given playing cards? Is he crazy? Does he know what he is doing?" Lini roared.

Odo shrugged. "Deputy Dean Lini, this is about Wulaglindo. I am really just a messenger. In addition to asking for leave, he also asked me to tell you that he hopes you can go to the Green Building for dinner tonight. Also, he said that he heard that Vice Dean Lini has a large collection of wine, and he hopes you can bring a few bottles with you. He said he is worried that you are not used to the ordinary wine on the market."

"Well..." Lini suddenly pursed his lips. After pondering for a long time, his expression softened: "Okay, tell him that I don't just want to have dinner with him."

Oddo raised his eyebrows and nodded with a smile, muttering to himself, "Vice President Lini, what you just said is very easy to be misunderstood."

So, was Woolley really selling playing cards, as Oddo said?

The small stone building on the left side of the entrance to the Assyrian Central Square had been completely renovated several days ago. Windows were opened, the roof, walls, and floor were repaired, and even the entire exterior wall was coated with a thick layer of chalk. Next to the newly opened large sales window, there was a poster made up of four large pieces of paper.

Yes, it is a poster - in addition to a few playing cards, it also has the Woolley family crest, and of course, the most eye-catching is the slogan -

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"God-given playing cards, do you have them?"

At this moment, many people had gathered in front of the sales window. Those closest to the sales window were naturally the nobles. In this case, the common people could only stand in the outer circle. However, both the nobles and the common people were attracted by Wu Lai.

This guy was standing on a stool inside the sales window, playing poker in a dazzling way. Although Wu Lai's technique was actually very ordinary, it looked like a magical skill to people who had never seen poker before!

After showing off his shuffling skills for a while, Wu Lai took the homemade megaphone handed to him by Klee with a smile: "Dear respected citizens, and people of the Assyrian territory, are you curious about what I am holding in my hand? Oh, look at my poor memory, it is written on the poster next to it, yes, it is the God-given playing cards..."

"Why do you say it is a God-given playing card? Because its appearance originates from the revelation of the god Amon!" Wu Lai suddenly raised his voice and gave a definition, which caused a commotion among the onlookers.

"Why did God Amon give revelation? Because he felt that everyone's life was too monotonous and boring!" Wu Lai raised the poker in his hand, "Think about it carefully, are you repeating yesterday's life every day? At the end of each night, are you thinking about what you should be thankful for?"

"Yes, that's right." A noble nodded.

You answered so quickly and with such standard answers, I almost thought you were a hired helper - Wu Lai thought to himself, smiled and said, "I can say responsibly that when you have this God-given poker card, you will no longer be monotonous, boring, and you will no longer have to rack your brains for fun, because this God-given poker card will give you a myriad of fun!"

"Is it so magical?" an aristocrat asked half-doubtfully.

"Of course!" Wu Lai threw away the playing cards, took out a piece of paper from his arms, shook it, and read aloud, "The first way to play God-given playing cards! God-given Landlord! It can be played by three people or four people..."

"…The second way to play! God-given Texas Hold'em! The number of players is relaxed. Each person is dealt two cards first, and then five community cards are dealt…"

"The third way to play! God-given Solitaire!..."

After a long and eloquent introduction, Wu Lai stuffed the paper with the rules of poker into his pocket and said, "It may not be intuitive enough for everyone to understand just by talking about it. Now, please make some space for us to perform a live show so that everyone can experience it firsthand. The first show is God-given Stud!"

Before he finished speaking, Klee, Monica, and Hippo brought out a small round table and four stools. Wu Lai also walked out. After the crowd had moved away a little, they set up the table and placed the stools. The four of them sat on each side, threw a deck of playing cards on the table, and each of them took out a stack of silver coins from their pockets...

With a slight exclamation, everyone became interested, thinking that it turned out that the God-given playing cards could be used for gambling...

After two rounds, an old noble couldn't hold back any longer. He approached Wu Lai shyly and asked tentatively, "Citizen, can you let me try? I think I understand."

"Try it?" Wu Lai pretended to be startled, then stood up and said, "Then let's try it."

After a while, a middle-aged noble shook off the hand of his wife or daughter, approached Wu Lai who was watching the game, and asked with a smile: "Citizen, how much is the price of these God-given playing cards?"

"It's on sale now, so you only need to spend half the price to buy it." Wu Lai smiled and gestured "two", "It's very cheap, only two gold coins."

When the others heard the price Wu Lai said, they were fine, but Klee's legs started shaking and he almost peed his pants.

"Master, you really dare to ask for such a high price." Klee muttered to himself while looking at the cards.

The middle-aged nobleman's eyes lit up: "Huh? It's really cheap. Give me ten, ten, what is the measure word?"

"The quantifier is pairs. Ten pairs will cost you twenty gold coins. If you pay two more, next time you come to buy, it will only cost eighteen gold coins for ten pairs. How about it? Do you want this discount?" Wu Lai asked with a smile.

"Yes, of course I want it." The middle-aged nobleman said hurriedly.

Klee's legs trembled again, but fortunately, he was just a little bit short of it, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself.
