Chapter 20: Borrowing Luck
Wen Zhaozhao's snow-white and tender face showed a cute and innocent smile, "I will!"
Then, very naturally, he raised his hand to support the brown sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, instantly activating their function, and clearly saw that there was a dried-up heart inside Xisen's body!
Qin Jian and Xi Sen went to discuss something, so they asked Gu Lian to take Wen Zhaozhao to the basement to play, and all expenses were charged to his account.
The basement floor is a large entertainment area.
There are auction halls, coffee shops, roulette games, dessert shops... After Wen Zhaozhao entered here, his usually playful nature became silent this time.
Gu Lian was holding a few chips in his hand, a total of 20 blue yuan, which were given to him by the staff of the roulette game.
"Want to play?" Gu Lian handed the chips to Wen Zhaozhao.
"I'm not interested." Wen Zhaozhao walked towards the dessert shop, "Let's have some ice cream."
She took out a pink cell phone from her bag, paid for two ice creams, handed Gu Lian an original one, and asked for an orange flavored one.
"I don't like the air here." Wen Zhaozhao took off his brown sunglasses, sat down in the booth of the dessert shop, and tasted the sweet ice cream.
Gu Lian smiled and said, "It's a happy scent, so it's okay to smell it occasionally."
Wen Zhaozhao glanced at him, then took out a talisman from a small storage bag, wrapped it in an invisible barrier, and watched it fly around various places in the casino.
"It stinks, it stinks. I don't like it." Wen Zhaozhao looked at the talisman that flew back, which was covered with a layer of light pink mist. "If you absorb so much magic incense by yourself, will you go crazy?"
"I'm not going crazy yet." Gu Lian said to Wen Zhaozhao, "Maybe I'll kiss you."
Wen Zhaozhao suddenly remembered the time Fang Xingzhang forcefully kissed her, and her delicate face darkened. "If you dare to molest me, I'll make you live and die, die and live, live and die again, seventy-seven, four hundred and ninety-nine times! In the end, you'll turn into a ghost, a female one at that! Big breasts, a thin waist, tiny feet. You'll be out of breath after every two steps, and I'll throw you into the den of male ghosts."
"You...you are so vicious!!!" Gu Lian was stunned.
"Hmph, if you're scared, just remember this." Wen Zhaozhao took a big bite of ice cream resentfully.
Gu Lian looked at her, "Has anyone kissed you?"
Wen Zhaozhao immediately stopped what he was doing.
Seeing this, Gu Lian's expression turned serious, "Who?"
Wen Zhaozhao said, "Without anyone, how could I force them? As the queen, anyone who dares to touch me will be punished as above."
"...Is the person I kissed now a female ghost?"
"I said there is no such person." Wen Zhaozhao flatly denied it.
Gu Lian didn't ask any more questions, playing with the chips, "I'll go play a couple of rounds."
"They've already set the table. If you go over there, they'll let you win a few small games, but then you'll lose everything."
"...You know a lot." Gu Lian tossed the chips in his hand and glanced at Wen Zhaozhao with a smile.
Wen Zhaozhao replied: "That's right, these are all my leftovers."
"Wait." Gu Lian walked towards the big turntable.
At this time, several people with tired looks entered the dessert shop and ordered some food and drinks.
It seems that without the spices to stimulate his nerves, the player who was on the verge of collapse finally calmed down.
Wen Zhaozhao's cell phone rang with a text message.
She took a look and saw it was a text message from Nalan Junmi - [Zhao Zhao, where are you? I miss you, I miss you so much.]
After reading it, Wen Zhaozhao did not reply, but looked at those who came to buy desserts.
One of the men, his hands shaking and sweating, couldn't wait to get in line. He staggered towards Wen Zhaozhao, put down a 500-yuan blue dollar bill, and said to Wen Zhaozhao, "I want to buy ice cream."
"Sure." Wen Zhaozhao gave Gu Lian the original ice cream that was beginning to melt.
The man grabbed the ice cream and ate half of it in one bite.
Wen Zhaozhao said, "Sit down and eat slowly."
"Thank you." After eating the ice cream, the man felt much better. "I have hypoglycemia."
Wen Zhaozhao looked at the wedding ring on his left ring finger and said with one hand supporting her chin, "Since you are not in good health, you must take good care of yourself and don't do anything that might put yourself in danger."
The man smiled and said, "Thanks for the reminder. I'll be leaving now. Please keep the money."
"Yeah." Wen Zhaozhao used the 500-yuan blue dollar note to buy some desserts and waited for Gu Lian.
Not long after, Gu Lian came back, looking depressed.
Wen Zhaozhao looked at him in surprise, "Lost?"
Gu Lian wiped his hands with a wet wipe, then grabbed a jam-filled donut and took a big bite. "I won a few times at first, but then I lost everything."
"It's okay, I didn't take off all my clothes." Wen Zhaozhao said with a smile.
"I was thinking of taking you to the auction room. Just the entrance fee is 2,000 Blue Dollars." Gu Lian looked in the direction of the auction room. "I heard there's an S-level exotic beast crystal auction today."
"Oh? Sounds like it's expensive."
"We're not bidding. Although I can use my identity as the eldest brother to enter the auction room, I don't want to cause him too much trouble."
Wen Zhaozhao stood up and said, "You wait."
She walked towards the staff member handing out chips and received 20 blue yuan chips.
Gu Lian knew what she was going to do and asked hurriedly, "Are you going?"
"Let me try." Wen Zhaozhao walked towards the big turntable.
When she got to the big turntable, she saw the man who had asked her to buy ice cream before, holding a tray with a pile of large chips.
Wen Zhaozhao looked at him in astonishment, "It's you?"
The man grabbed a handful of chips and gave them to her. "Thanks for your luck, this is for you."
Luck? Wen Zhaozhao looked at him. Could it be...
Wen Zhaozhao hurriedly put on brown sunglasses and looked at him.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but laugh. It was a lucky monster, truly rare. Its body was a giant gray-brown toad, covered in bumps, and looked terrifying.
It possessed the man with low blood sugar.
As long as the value a man pays is far higher than what the other person gives him, he can temporarily gain the other person's favor.
The time period can be long or short.
The person whose luck is borrowed will be plagued by bad luck and nothing will go well for him.
Of course, there is a solution, which is for the luck-borrowing monster to return part of the things borrowed to the borrower, and the borrowing is considered to be over.
If the luck-borrowing monster does not return the luck, you can kill it directly and the luck will be automatically released.
Wen Zhaozhao returned to the dessert shop with the chips and said, "Here you go."
"So fast!" Gu Lian counted the chips and found that there were a total of 60,000 blue yuan.
"Yeah~ You earned it with your luck." The man didn't borrow her luck. The cup of ice cream belonged to Gu Lian, so he borrowed Gu Lian's luck.
Although she completed the transaction, there is also the concept of agency in the "borrowing luck" system. So the "borrowing luck" monster considered her the agent, and it just so happened that she spent the blue yuan to complete the agency conditions.
As for why they didn't lend it to her, it must be because of her luck, which is not something that a small luck-borrowing monster can touch.
This is also the reason why the luck-borrowing monster will immediately cancel the luck-borrowing after making money.
