Their eyes met for just a second and then separated. The big star didn't stop and looked at more guests.

Will the second act start on Recovery Day?

Zhou Jinru recalled the opening scene the night before, including the dice that changed luck. In a sitcom, there seemed to be something extraordinary.

"Melanza, is there any mysterious legend about Victoria two hundred years ago?"

"Mysterious legend?"

She recalled for a moment and said seriously: "There are indeed some legends, and most of them tend to be scary. It was an era when the Originium industry was in the ascendant, and it was normal to spread some strange stories."

Stories that can be passed down two hundred years later generally have prototypes, including but not limited to fantasy novels that have been collected into volumes.

Zhou Jinru took a sip of the drink and looked at Isabella again. If it was just to fill in the world view, the magical items that appeared in the plot were not something to be afraid of.

Again, can the villain in the movie crawl out of the screen?

After standing for a while, the granddaughter of the Duke of York came over and pitifully asked Zhou Jinru if she could lend Melanza to her for a few minutes. She had a lot to say.

Zhou Jinru was about to refuse, but the girl next to him said: "Okay, just a few minutes."

After watching the two beautiful girls leave, he turned around and his eyes fell on a plate of tender fish.

Zhou Jinru just ate some, and the fish tasted pretty good.

"week!"

A lady's voice came from behind, it was a strange aristocratic lady, Zhou Jinru was sure that he had no intersection with her.

"Miss?"

The lady with smooth blond hair gently covered her mouth and said with a smile: "I just heard about you from Miss Elena, can I ask you a favor?"

In order to reduce trouble, Zhou Jinru pondered for a few seconds and shook his head slightly: "Sorry, I can't keep my female companion waiting too long."

"It won't take too long. One of our companions has left temporarily. There is one missing person at the card table. Can you please fill in the vacancy? It only takes a few minutes, so it won't take you too long."

The companion she was referring to was Elena, who walked away with Melanza.

These ladies are all from the Western Region of Londinium.

Even if they rarely appear in public, their husbands and children will attend some important events.

Zhou Jinru looked back and couldn't find Melanza at the end of his gaze. He exhaled and raised his head: "Okay, if it's just a game, I'm willing to do it for you."

The beautiful lady lifted up her skirt and solemnly thanked:

"Thanks."

They walked through the banquet area one after another and came to the entertainment area shrouded in soft lights. Several ladies in gorgeous or graceful evening dresses were sitting at a card table. To Zhou Jinru's surprise, there was a card table on the card table.

What was placed was not playing cards or other toys with gambling elements, but an oversized imitation parchment map, and cards of various sizes were placed in the corner of the card table.

Is this a group running game?

"Zhou, you look surprised?"

Zhou Jinru admitted: "To be honest, I was a little surprised."

He did not say more, leaving more space for everyone present to fill in the details.

The lady who guided him here blinked: "You can call me Mapel, um, Mrs. Mapel."

"Mrs. Mapel, you haven't introduced the rules of the game yet."

The lady sitting on the far right couldn't help but say.

She held a card in her hand, which seemed to correspond to an identity.

Through a brief understanding, Zhou Jinru confirmed that this is a group running game, which has been very popular among Victoria's aristocratic circles recently. However, in the eyes of these ladies, it is more like a role-playing adventure game, which is very fresh.

feel.

"Zhou, you can draw an identity card, and we will add a new companion."

Zhou Jinru looked at the pile of cards in the box and thought that this should be a deluxe enhanced card pool, which was much higher than the standard pool.

He casually pulled out one, and when he saw the specific identity, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch: "Lucky manservant."

"lucky."

The lady who had urged Mrs. Mapel to introduce the rules before repeated the prefix of this identity card, and the companion beside her laughed and said: "Not bad, lucky prefixes don't appear often, and good things usually happen."

Good things do happen.

Zhou Jinru looked at the special effects of the identity card and realized that luck had strengthened the effect of throwing points. He could throw points twice in a row and get the maximum value.

But why still a valet?

When he thought of this title, he could feel the veins on his forehead jumping.

"On a windy day, Margaret walked into the ancient library and opened an ancient book that had been dusty for a long time. The obscure words on the yellowed paper seemed to become clear."

The lady named Margaret began to make a judgment. She picked up a six-sided die placed on a large map and threw it on the table. The die turned a few times and stopped at three o'clock.

"Margaret was reading ancient books with difficulty, and she didn't even notice that the lights in the library went out."

Zhou Jinru frowned slowly, his luck was too bad, it was only three o'clock and he was about to enter the final settlement stage?

Under normal circumstances, libraries, secret rooms, and books containing ancient knowledge can easily lead to bad outcomes.

"Due to the weather, the manservant who was patrolling the manor noticed something strange in the library. He quickly walked to the door, opened the door, and saw..."

Ms. Mapel placed the six-sided dice in front of Zhou Jinru, chuckled and said, "It's your turn."

Zhou Jinru held the dice and wondered if he would enter the settlement together with Ms. Margaret if he failed a little bit.

He threw the dice, and the milky-white dice fell on the table. He turned over several low numbers with difficulty, and finally what was presented to everyone was a reasonable number, five points.

"You have one more chance."

Zhou Jinru, who had the blessing of lucky affixes, held the dice again. This time, he paused for two seconds and fixed his eyes on the dice in his palm. The confusion in his eyes became more and more intense.

It looks very similar to the luck-manipulating dice in the sitcom, or is it his imagination?

After thinking about it, he didn't hesitate and immediately rolled the dice, six points, a big success.

Mrs. Mapel's eyes with a faint smile were replaced by surprise little by little. Mrs. Margaret opened her red lips and was speechless for a long time.

"Your luck is really great, truly lucky."

The speaker was a lady with short gray hair, she was called Mrs. Green.

She read a thick book of running group rules and explained it carefully: "When the valet pushed open the door of the library, the strong wind blew away the thick clouds in the sky, and the golden sunshine spilled to the ground, through the library door.

The glass window shone on Lady Margaret, who was dizzy from reading. She decided to give up the interpretation and chose to go out for a horseback ride to change the environment."

“Awesome.”

Mrs. Mapel chuckled.

Zhou Jinru took a deep breath and smiled: "It's really interesting."

Mrs. Green, who looked away from the rule book, said sincerely: "Almost every time we start, we lose our companions due to various reasons. One moment we were very successful in obtaining important props, and the next time we judged that there was a greater probability of failure, great success brought us success."

The subsequent impact caused good things to turn into bad things, or even worse things.”

During their exchange, Elena, who had left earlier, came back with Melanza. Zhou Jinru's group running trip came to an end temporarily. When he stood up, he used one sentence as parting words: "Ladies, in my hometown

There is a saying that as long as you participate in probabilistic events, you will inevitably face failure."

"It's just a game."

"No, I think you are right, Zhou."

Snapped.

Mrs. Green stood up after closing a thick rule book. Although she was wearing high heels, her height was less than Zhou Jinru's chin. The lady walked up to him with a strange emotion in her eyes: "In the game

, there are only two kinds of people who can survive to the end and have a good ending. One is the lucky person, and the other is the person who doesn’t go into it. I can see that you are very knowledgeable about this type of game. Haha, Recovery Day.

During the holidays, I have a lot of time."

Zhou Jinru didn't give any answer, and bowed slightly: "Ladies, I'm sorry."

He left with Melantha who had returned.

Melanza, who heard the conversation just now, grabbed Zhou Jinru's hand and said nervously: "Doctor, fortunately you didn't agree to her request!"

Zhou Jinru shook his head. Refusal was something he would definitely do. No matter what the other party's intentions were, he did not intend to leave any intersection.

Melantha was afraid that the doctor would not know what was going on, so she looked around a few times and lowered her voice: "Doctor, if any lady wants to see you alone, you must not agree, let alone go to the meeting alone."

"Why?"

The girl's eyes flickered: "Because, they may be attracted to you. In the aristocratic circles of Victoria, ladies often use stamp collecting as a synonym for this kind of behavior. Do you want to be stamped?"

Zhou Jinru: "..."

It's one thing to be talented in this area, but it's another thing to be treated as a collectible.

If Melanza hadn't said it, he really didn't take it seriously. This shows that he was extremely lucky to have escaped from the dragon's den just now.

"Am I really lucky?"
