Chapter 288 The First Time
"Mr. Ansu, you are so cunning."
This idiot is so easy to deal with.
An Su showed a sinister smile of success. The betting ticket in his hand was a hot potato. It was impossible for him to really exchange it for eight small gold mines. The management issue alone was enough to give him a headache. He did not have the energy for it, and he would inevitably be tormented by his father - and his family was not short of gold mines.
The deadline for exchanging this gambling ticket is noon. Time is very tight, and he has long wanted to find a place to exchange the gambling ticket.
Although the prices of the fifty noble snack shops in the center of the imperial capital were still lower than those of the eight small gold mines, they were not losing too much. With just a few gold mines, he could attract the heroine of the original world line to invest. For Ansu, it was definitely a sure win.
From beginning to end, Ansu only acted for his own interests.
That's all.
He looked at Miss Luojia opposite him. The little saint still had her eyes slightly lowered, and her snow-white eyelashes like rime trembled gently, covering her bright golden eyes. The idle autumn light cast the shadows of the sycamore trees outside the window everywhere, and some of the green silhouettes fell on Luojia's delicate profile.
This woman is so easy to deal with and use. An Su remembers that she craves blueberry cake the most. There are fifty cake shops in total, and she can eat whatever she wants. The temptation must be very great, which can directly turn this idiot into diabetes.
If you can't resist the temptation, just a piece of cake will do the trick.
"Mr. Ansu, I always feel that your eyes are impolite." Luo Jia still lowered his eyes and said softly, "You are really unpleasant."
Classic 'I think' starter.
"Speechless, you were the first to curse, and just now you called me cunning, you have no manners at all." An Su smiled wryly, "You lowly girls always love to do some female gaze!"
The store manager standing by watched the two men fighting back and forth, and her expression began to get anxious. She was eager to sign the contract quickly to pocket the huge betting ticket. As for family honor and her father's last wish, she had completely forgotten about them in front of the eight gold mines.
It's not that she is snobbish. In the eyes of the store manager, this so-called saint named Lorgar, who looks so pure and flawless, is nothing more than a materialistic woman who is hooking up with a rich second-generation dude. She is a vase pushed forward by the Holy See. No wonder she is not as good as Her Majesty Cersei.
We are all the same kind of people, no one can say that anyone else is snobbish.
The exchange will end at noon, so she has to go and exchange it quickly to avoid any further complications.
"Miss Lorca Fast."
The store manager had already asked the clerk to bring the store title deed, and the contract was quickly drafted. She gently placed the contract in front of Luo Jia. Although she felt contempt in her heart, she still had the most perfect and friendly professional smile on her face, "Excuse me, can we sign the contract?"
"Just write your name here," the store manager pointed to the terms of the contract, "from now on, the Fili family will be renamed the Fast family."
"From the banks of the Maria River to the fifty shops on St. George's Street, they all belong to you."
Luo Jia looked at the contract in front of her, biting her thin lips gently, thought for a while, picked up the pen, and was about to write her name in the signature, but as soon as the tip of the pen touched the paper, she slowly stopped.
Luo Jia looked at Ansu's betting ticket. The sacred and glorious cathedral on the pattern seemed to be glowing, and the thin golden lines on the surrounding patterns scattered the autumn light. She gave her betting ticket to Ansu, but Ansu's betting ticket was not given to her. It clearly stated that they would vote for each other. Luo Jia thought about it and hovered her pen over the contract until the ink on the feather pen slowly dripped and seeped into the paper. She was still thinking.
As long as she signs the contract, the fifty noble cake shops will be hers.
Before becoming the Saint of the Border, Luo Jia's dream was just to open a small cake shop of her own in her hometown.
She is just such an easy-going and easy-to-deal-with girl.
I guess in Ansu's eyes, I am the same. Fast Cake Shop, maybe you can keep a few kittens in the shop. Fifty shops will have to keep hundreds of kittens. You can plant some vines in the shop, water them every day, take time to take care of them, and sell some special snacks that are only available in the border areas. You can live a soft and happy life every day.
'Your future will be more than 50 cake shops.'
Luo Jia looked at the sacred and glorious cathedral again, and she thought for a long time.
Under the store manager's expectant gaze, Luo Jia put down her pen. She was silent for a long time, as if she had finally made up her mind. She raised her head and looked at An Su, "Are you going to lend me this gambling ticket, Mr. An Su?"
"What's wrong?" An Su was a little surprised, but he still replied, "You can understand it that way. I said, this is the bill I paid for you."
"I don't want these fifty stores anymore."
Luo Jia put down her pen, the fifty Fast Cake shops, the hundreds of kittens, the vines and her favorite blueberry cake. Her golden eyes trembled slightly, but revealed a firm and unchanging look. She said seriously, "Mr. An Su took my betting ticket, so I should also take Mr. An Su's betting ticket. Only in this way can the gambling be established, right?"
"That's not fair—you have to stop being so sneaky."
"Just give me this ticket."
Luo Jia tilted her head. The silhouette of the phoenix tree covered her face, but it couldn't cover her bright golden eyes. In the dark green shadows, her eyes seemed to be glowing. She said as a matter of course:
"This is your bet for me, I can't give it to anyone else."
Luo Jia stared at An Su with a slightly crazy smile, which was completely different from her temperament. She smiled and said, "I've told you before that I'm a hopeless bad boy who likes gambling, so even if the stock I bought sinks to the bottom, I won't sell it to anyone else."
As soon as Luo Jia finished speaking, the air in this world froze.
It was visibly that the store manager's originally fawning and fake smile was completely frozen on his face; even An Su showed a look of surprise, he never expected Luo Jia to do this.
The little saint always exceeds the expectations of her birth.
Thinking about it carefully, An Su thought about it seriously and realized that this was only natural. After all, the price of eight gold mines was much higher than that of fifty cake shops. If you have money, you can buy anything.
In the character background setting, Luojia and Ansu are both orphans of the innate planning holy body, and Luojia has reached the state of great perfection of the innate planning holy body - her Fumu is dead, and Ansu is at most half a step to great perfection.
The little saint was adopted by a monastery welfare home on the border. Before she became a saint, she had almost no disposable pocket money. After she became a saint, because of her serious and rigid personality, she did not accept any bribes, so naturally she could not become rich.
In this way, it is most reasonable to directly ask for the gold mine, after all, there are no middlemen to make a profit from the price difference. This does not matter to Ansu, after all, it is the same no matter who he gives it to.
"What do you want this betting ticket for?" Although he already had an expectation in his mind, An Su still asked.
".You also took my ticket." Luo Jia paused, but did not directly answer the boy's question, "Where is the ticket now?"
"I changed it a long time ago." An Su shrugged indifferently. He said lazily, "It's just a small amount of money. I just ate a few meals and spent it all a long time ago."
"I see. Oh—"
Luo Jia stared at An Su quietly, her pair of bright golden eyes as clear as amber. She paused, tilted her head, her long snow-white hair falling on one shoulder like catkins. She opened her thin lips and spoke softly.
"Then I'm going to do the same thing as you."
An Su felt a little guilty when Luo Jia was staring at him. He coughed and thought to himself that he had thought this woman was easy to deal with and fool, but he didn't expect her to be so well hidden and at ease. He thought about it and since Luo Jia said she wanted to exchange the betting ticket for money, An Su would not object. After all, it was eight gold mines, so he nodded and said, "Here you go."
The store manager who had been watching from the side was completely numb at this moment, and she was ready to make a fortune.
I won't let you guys play like this.
She felt very embarrassed. Am I just a tool for you to play with?
"Mr. Ansu, Ms. Luojia." The desperate store manager sneered and slammed the stack of bills on the table. "Since you don't want to buy the store, please pay the bill. We don't accept credit! The total is three gold coins and ten copper coins!"
An Su had no money on him, and Luo Jia had used all his money to pursue his doctorate. Apart from the gambling ticket, the two of them could not afford to pay.
Right. How should we settle this bill? An Su's expression suddenly became awkward. He forgot about this matter. He couldn't possibly stay to wash the dishes. The scene suddenly became awkward.
"I have."
In the long silence, Miss Luojia, who had been so relaxed just now, timidly raised her hand. She lowered her eyes, her snow-white eyelids drooped down, and bit her thin lips lightly, as if she had made up her mind, and said in a voice as soft as an insect's hum,
"I have."
In full view of everyone, the little saint hung her head like an ostrich and opened the small white bag she carried with her. She counted the coins one by one, counted out three gold coins and ten copper coins, stacked them together, and timidly handed them to the store manager.
Everyone fell silent.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Where did you get the money?" An Su was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Didn't you use it all to study for a doctorate?"
"It's the private money I used to buy the cake." Luo Jia supported his head and pretended to be calm.
She obviously has money, but she still wants to borrow from me! She's the one who's paying for dinner!
An Su was completely impressed. He never thought that this woman's thinking could be so meticulous. An Su felt sorry for underestimating Luo Jia before. He didn't expect that her birth level was not lower than his. But despite this, An Su was still confused. It was just three gold coins. Why did he play such a tactic? "
Moreover, this is also inconsistent with Luojia's usual character. She did not even accept the solicitation and gifts from the bishop or even the archbishop, so how could she embezzle such a small amount of gold coins? In the original world line, the little saint's character was perfect. She was so upright that she was almost rigid. She was always honest and never lied. She was truly
"Why are you doing this?" An Su asked curiously.
"because."
Luo Jia gently grasped the corner of her clothes, and the blush on her fair face spread from her cheeks to her ears, just like smearing the rosy sunset on the pure white sky, so beautiful that it was blurred everywhere and gorgeous everywhere. She was originally bare-faced, but a blush was better than countless rouge.
"Mr. Ansu said before that from now on we are even."
An Su was stunned. He thought about it carefully and realized that he had indeed said this sentence.
In the equally magnificent autumn light, Luo Jia slowly raised his eyes and looked at An Su. He paused and shook his head, "But I...but I don't want to clear things up with you."
An Su looked at her and said nothing.
“I once said that I was a bad kid.”
Luo Jia paused for a long time, and the blush on her face finally faded away. "It's all your fault, because Mr. Ansu also likes to lie. I was led astray by you. It's all your fault."
"I can no longer be the good kid that everyone likes, so"
The Maria River outside the window lattice sparkles, the broken glass on the window lattice sparkles, and the silhouette of the sycamore on the table sparkles -
Luojia Fast's bright golden eyes were also sparkling.
"I lied to you. I'm sorry."
Luo Jia tilted his head towards An Su and stuck out his tongue. "Excuse me, can you forgive a bad boy for his first lie?"
An Su looked at Luo Jia like this, and at this moment, he finally understood that the little saint girl had always been difficult to deal with, and he himself was a little easier to deal with.
"Pay." Anzu Sigma Morningstar said expressionlessly, trying to stick to his heart. "Go and pay. Maid."
"This is my first time telling a lie, please don't leave me with a bad experience." Luo Jia made a face, his ears were still a little red, but much better now.
The store manager, who also had a numb expression, took the gold coins that Luo Jia handed over, and then walked away as if escaping.
The battle between this crazy couple was so terrifying. She was afraid that if she continued to stay here, she would follow in her father's footsteps and lose everything. This was not a place for a mortal like her to stay.
As for An Su's gambling ticket, she didn't want to think about it anymore.
Luo Jia happily took the golden betting ticket and opened it to the sunlight outside the window. The sacred cathedral was clearly visible in the sunlight, every inch, every millimeter, and every detail was vivid, emitting dazzling light, standing at the top of all halls. That was the residence of the Pope.
"Remember to exchange it at twelve o'clock." An Su reminded unhappily, "Otherwise it will become waste paper, Miss Luojia."
"Of course. I'm not stupid."
Luo Jia replied, putting the church and the golden world into her world, putting them into the shirt pocket of her little dress, and pressing them gently.
"Then Mr. Ansu, let's talk about today's business."
After Luo Jia put down the gambling ticket, he turned around and looked at An Su seriously, "About the Chaotic Border - the information presented by the Naraku world we manage yesterday."
An Su also adjusted his mentality, frowned slightly, and looked serious. Before that, they had eaten cake, made bets, and paid the bill. Finally, they got to the main topic of today's party.
The Chaos Border, also known as the City of Free Glory, was once taken by Anzu and Lorga through smuggling. After that, it once became the largest marketing fraud base in Naraku, leaving countless young boys with no way back.
It has been explained before that the entire Age of Chaos series is composed of three Naraku worlds.
The Free and Shining City is just one of them.
It is obviously just an ordinary fourth-order world, but it has attracted the attention of the Chaos Cult. Even the infamous Chaos Saint Elf and the now famous Crow Saint Ko Xiaohei have personally taken action. It can be seen that this is definitely not an ordinary world.
An Su had a hunch that the information hidden in this world was also related to his three dreams.
"This clue is related to the Red Moon Incident, and..."
The little saint paused and said seriously, "The coordinates of the second chaos fragment."
