Chapter 2 Luxurious board and card games
A gambling friend once asked, what is the most exciting game in the world? He Taiping's answer is - blue sea, cruise ship, blonde beauty, and billionaires...
But after traveling through time, if the gambling friend asks the same question again, He Taiping's answer will become—mountains, caves, black dragons, and death threats...
"Old K is a pair! Is there anything wrong with playing like this?" Heilong held a playing card with his two claws. After hesitating for a long time, he finally threw down two flower cards gently and asked hesitantly.
"No, but this seems to be Old J!" He Taiping reminded carefully, for fear of angering the giant beast. Half an hour ago, he found several magic scrolls from the black dragon's cave, and then tore them apart to make playing cards. Thanks to this new game, he finally got rid of the fate of dancing bear dance.
"Oh, it's all because the patterns of these scrolls are too complicated, which makes me mistaken!" If those magic scrolls had souls, they would inevitably cry. They were enough to sell five thousand gold coins per in the surface world, and now they have become playing cards, they will also be regarded as scapegoats for the black dragon.
"It doesn't matter, it's just the beginning." He Taiping breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead. "Then do another game?"
"Of course!" Constant nodded without hesitation and reduced his figure to the height of ordinary people, which allowed both sides to enjoy the fun of the game better. It should be admitted that this is a very monotonous entertainment, but it is already interesting enough for Constant, who has never been exposed to the outside world.
Five minutes later, the black dragon began to cheer for his claws when he found a good card; ten minutes later, it was content with its first victory, although there was a lot of moisture in it; twenty minutes later, it even learned to cheat, for example, in the event of a bad situation, blow away the loose cards by sneezing.
The game lasted for three hours, and the middle was filled with laughter, tension, confrontation, ridicule, celebration, encouragement and other emotions. Unconsciously, the two creatures with special identities gradually disappeared, and they even began to hang their arms and make fun of each other. This scene was enough to make the dragon-slaying knights vomit blood and die. It turned out that getting along with the dragon was so simple...
"It seems that you are getting along well!" Half an hour later, when He Taiping pinched the black dragon's neck and forced it to hand over the hidden old Q, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded behind them. And this cold voice immediately made He Taiping realize his situation. He shivered without hesitation and let go of his hand awkwardly.
The black mist condensed into the form of a lich on the flat ground. Looking at the teacher walking slowly, Constance lowered his head in shame. It could not understand why this slave felt so differently, and the time with him passed very quickly and was full of fun.
"No, Constance, your behavior is very normal!" The voice of the lich Emos was still cold and slow, but there was a little relief in his tone. "Think about it, how long has it been since your father passed away? Damn the holy barrier, if it weren't for its obstruction, I would have taken you back to the Dragon Clan and to your friends!"
This made both listeners a little surprised. He Taiping was surprised because he could not imagine that a lich would have such feelings. According to common sense, they should be ruthless and cold; and Constance had long been used to Emos' favor for him, and his surprise was because when Emos mentioned the word "friend", he actually moved his heart and subconsciously looked at the human.
"No! No! Just kidding, how could the noble dragon clan become friends with humans?" After realizing his absurd ideas, the black dragon couldn't help but shake his head. But its emotions told it that this human did bring a lot of fun to itself, and friendship often starts with games and fun, just like the way children make friends.
"That's because you're too lonely, and your mother..." Aimos guessed it again, but suddenly stopped sighing. The next moment, he turned his head and looked at He Taiping, the cold light in his eyes was extremely cold. He Taiping couldn't help but take a few steps back, but he could hardly believe his eyes, because the lich actually pulled his cheek and showed a smile-like expression.
"Eat this, and then continue to accompany Constance, I will give you enough reward!" The smile flew in a flash, and the lich turned into black fog and flew away again, and the lingering sound came slowly. On the ground, a small beast killed by flame magic was already half-cooked. If He Taiping did not dislike the monotonous taste, he could treat it as a delicious meal.
Gently rubbing his chin, He Taiping began to doubt whether he had really traveled through time. The creatures in this underground magic world seemed a little strange...
He hurriedly swallowed lunch, and one person and one dragon put aside their distractions and started the game again. But compared with Constance, He Taiping gradually became a little tired. He turned his attention to two black and white magic crystals, and suddenly felt that it was the best prop to play Goji. So a few minutes later, the magic crystal worth 20,000 gold coins was smashed into pieces, which also allowed the Black Dragon to experience the pleasure of losing his family again.
"It seems very luxurious!" He Taiping put down a magic crystal, hummed a little tune as if nothing had happened, and put several magic crystals in his pocket. Immediately afterwards, he turned his eyes to the shining pile of gold coins. If he could take away part of it, then after he escaped to the surface world...
"He, it's your turn!" Constance urged impatiently, interrupting the fantasy of a greedy ghost. He Taiping let out a "ah" and put down a magic crystal, but did not notice that the other party's chess pieces had been connected into three. Constance was stunned for a moment, and suddenly raised his front paws to cheer. This time it finally won a game.
Looking at its joyful expression, He Taiping suddenly felt a move in his heart and had a plan. The next moment, he touched his chin as if nothing had happened and said calmly: "Constance, don't you think this is a bit boring? Why don't we bet a little more exciting!"
"Betting? What to bet?" Heilong was stunned for a moment, looking at He Taiping with confusion. It could not see that there was something on the other party who could be bet.
"If you win, I will invent another game for you!" Although I felt a little apologized, for the sake of my life in another world, He Taiping continued his plan to abduct a minor black dragon. "If I win, give me... I'm worried, what should you give me? Let's just those things!"
He pointed at the gold coins casually, looking at it indifferent, as if he was not referring to gold coins, but a pile of hay. It was different from the scene he expected, but the black dragon did not answer immediately, but just stared at the gold coins in a daze. After a while, it suddenly stretched out its claws and patted He Taiping, shook its head and sighed: "He, you are so cunning! So, you have your eyes on my wealth?"
He Taiping's relaxed expression suddenly solidified on his cheeks. He suddenly realized that the real black dragon was much harder to deal with than the supporting characters in the novels. But in his awkward smile, Constance shrugged indifferently and said calmly: "Okay, since you like gold coins, then let's bet with gold coins. Anyway, in the dungeon, they are no different from stones."
As he said this, it had stretched out its claws and swept thousands of gold coins near the board: "Then, each game is set to one hundred gold coins. If I win three times in total, you have to invent a new game for me! In addition, considering that I am a novice, you have to give me two games first and then five games to adapt!"
