Chapter 63: High Society
Game City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the west of the city, it covers an area of about 1,000 acres, and there is a baroque castle with a height of about 100 meters, 50 acres of building land, the bottom is lined up like bamboo shoots, and the upper part is like a pencil tip.
Inside the castle hall.
The lights are gorgeous and the music is moving.
On the long table, the maids and waiters in uniforms and bow ties, holding trays in their hands, like butterflies wearing flowers, deliver delicate food and colorful drinks to the distinguished guests.
In the hall, under the huge crystal chandelier, thousands of guests raised their glasses, staggered and had eager conversations.
Most of the topics to talk about are only one.
"This dress of yours is very beautiful, I have never seen this color before. ”
"Are the feathers on your hat the tail feathers of a chirp bird? This kind of bird feathers are only found in Zone 37, and I heard that it costs 500 yuan a piece, and my God, your hat is worth 10,000 yuan. ”
"Oh, it's so beautiful, your dress is so beautiful! It's very similar to the legendary animal peacock, it is said that the peacock's tail feathers are colorful, and after the screen is opened, a lot of colorful eyes will be revealed, your dress is called the peacock open screen?"
"What, you don't have any clothes on you, they're all painted with paint? Oh my God, it's so realistic! This chicken in particular is so similar!"
A corner of the banquet.
"Sir, your dress is very chic, with your red cape, your golden leather boots, and this golden crown on your head, which looks very ...... Noble, may I ask what is so important?"
The man with a wine glass and clothes on his body, at least fifty colors and a hundred exquisite accessories, walked up to Zhou Ming, and when he saw the clothes on his body, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask.
Taking a sip of the red wine in the glass, Zhou Ming said lightly to him: "The set of clothes on my body, called 'the emperor's new clothes', is an emperor who rules over hundreds of millions of subjects, and the clothes that will only be worn at major celebrations will carve a deep impression of the king's nobility in the hearts of hundreds of millions of subjects." ”
"The Emperor......'s New Clothes?"
The other party's eyes widened, and he said excitedly: "Great, I've always wanted to have a set of clothes that the emperor you said he was wearing, and I have designed many sets of clothes, but I haven't designed that kind of nobility......"
He stepped forward and took Zhou Ming's hand: "This gentleman, go to my castle as a guest! Help me design a set of clothes similar to yours, and I can pay you enough salary." ”
"Yes, you can leave me a contact information, and I'll visit you at your castle another day. ”
Zhou Ming nodded and agreed, and when he saw this guy excited, he said he was very looking forward to it, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
Tu Baozi, this is just a Western-style emperor suit, if you wear the dragon robe at home, you can't bow your head?
This kind of costume banquet is really low.
And in the upper class society of the game city, there are all kinds of high-class banquets almost every day, which are grandly held.
There are many types such as painting banquets, music banquets, poetry banquets, food banquets, etc.
However, the largest number of banquets are held in various costumes.
It is also easy to participate in these costume banquets, first of all, you have a net worth of more than 100,000 yuan, and you can enter the aristocratic district in the west of the city, and secondly, you must wear a decent dress, which must meet the requirements of gorgeous, chic and noble, as long as your clothes are good-looking, into the eyes of the banquet organizers, you can enter for free, enjoy fine wine and food, and do not need to give any gifts.
Of course, the clothes on the body are not good-looking, the style is similar, and the fashion is outdated...... No matter how much money you have, the organizers will turn you away.
It doesn't even matter if the styling is thunderous, the more fancy it is, the more popular it is.
Others such as painting banquets, music banquets, poetry banquets...... It's the same way, don't look at money, just look at how far you understand art.
Yes, unlike the artist's Hell Area 52, these nobles in the upper district have long since broken away from low-level interests and began to exert their infinite imagination in various artistic fields.
Coupled with a relatively long life, they have deep attainments in architecture, music, clothing and other fields, and have produced a lot of results.
Even if there are some achievements, it is not an exaggeration to call them "strange fruits", but on the whole, the hope of artistic revival in the world of money is all pinned on the millions of nobles in the upper class.
And Zhou Ming, who is worth in the upper area, can squeeze into the top 10%, plus the countless experiences in different copies before, as well as his advanced appreciation of art, it is not too easy for him to integrate into these upper class society.
That's why he participated in more than a dozen costume banquets and music banquets, and in high society, Zhou Ming was already famous.
"Noble Zhao", "Music Star".
These are the two names that Zhou Ming has recently mixed up in high society.
"Noble Zhao, it turns out that you are here, come and come, I will introduce a few friends to you. ”
A voice came, but it was Mr. Rogaiby, the host of the banquet and the owner of the castle, who greeted Zhou Ming warmly and introduced a few friends to him.
Three men and one woman, all of them are quite distinctive, and their names are not easy to remember, Zhou Ming called them "hooked nose", "tall man", "middle belly", and "** female" respectively.
After these people were introduced, the owner Luo Gaibi pulled Zhou Ming affectionately and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhao, let's go play cards for a while, and play two hands to try your luck." ”
"I don't know how to play much. ”
Zhou Ming put down his wine glass, shook his head lightly, and said that he didn't want to play much and wanted to go back to rest.
"I can teach you if you don't know how to play, and my friends can teach you too. ”
After Rogabi finished speaking, imperceptibly, his eyes gestured to the four friends.
"Friend, why are you going back so early, let's have a good time, try your luck with a small bet. ”
"Friend, you're too boring, you didn't go last time Mr. Gaby invited you to play, this time go and see the head office, right?"
"Little brother, why are you so daring, play with your sister~"
**The woman walked over with a gust of fragrant wind, leaned on Zhou Ming's shoulder, hugged his arm, and shook and rubbed against her murder weapon, her voice was charming and loud.
Zhou Ming's consciousness was in a trance, his eyes were a little confused, he looked at the pair of murder weapons, licked his dry lips, looked like a pig brother, nodded dumbly and said, "Okay...... Well, that'...... Then go play two. ”
He sneered in his heart: Rogabi, you want to set me up?
Then play with you!
……
6th floor of the castle.
A professional gambling hall with good soundproofing and luxurious interior configuration.
Large tables, automatic shuffle and dealing, beautiful dealers, redeemable chips...... Everything but the kitchen sink.
"Noble Zhao, how many chips do you want to exchange?" asked Rogabi in front of the chip exchange table.
"Let's exchange it for 500,000. Zhou Ming took out the money card in his pocket.
"So much? noble Zhao, 100,000 is enough, not so much. Rogaby shook his head and kindly reminded.
"Let's change more, I've been a guest here a few times since Mr. Gaby, even if I lose more, I have to play with Mr. Gaby for a while. Zhou Ming said.
"Okay, I'll also redeem 500,000! Have a good time with Brother Zhao!"
In Luo Gaibi's heart, Zhou Ming changed from a noble Zhao to a "Brother Zhao".
So, he also exchanged 500,000 chips, and the three men and one woman behind him also exchanged 500,000.
The chips were changed, and at the large table, everyone sat in a circle, because the table was very large, and the distance between each person was more than two meters.
Everyone plays the most common "stud", and the cards used are almost exactly the same as Zhou Ming's playing cards in that world, and they are also four suits, from A to 10, plus JQK and the big and small kings, there are 54 cards in a deck, and after removing the big and small queens, 52 cards are used on the table.
Afraid that Zhou Ming didn't understand how to play, Luo Gaibi also tried two games and enthusiastically introduced him to the rules of play:
"1 In each round, the machine will deal five cards to each person, of which in the single card, the ace is the highest, and then there are pairs, three legs, three with two, bombs, suit, straight, and straight flush...... In turn, the straight flush is the largest, and in the same combination, and then compare the cards, for example, if both people are straight flushes, then, the straight flush to the ace is bigger than the king......"
Zhou Ming actually knew these rules for a long time, but he still listened patiently, nodded again and again: "Understood, understood." ”
After the teaching, the stud game begins.
Because there were six people playing at one table, everyone's winning rate was not high, and for five consecutive games, because the cards were too small, Zhou Ming did not win a game, and he did not bet on a game.
Fortunately, there are not many bets in each game, only 100 money, and 500 losses in five games.
"Add 200. ”
"Follow. ”
"Plus 500. ”
"Follow!"
"Add 1000!"
"I'm going to compete. ”
"Haha, suit, eat your pair!
In the sixth game, Zhou Ming's luck exploded, not only won back the lost gambling book, but also earned 1,600 money from the tall man.
"Brother Zhao, your luck is good, it seems that you can win tonight. Luo Gabi nodded appreciatively to Zhou Ming.
"Haha, it's just a handful, it's just a handful. Zhou Ming said with a smile, his face was very excited.
The other four smiled imperceptibly at the corners of their mouths.
So, starting from this, Zhou Ming's luck became quite good, every three or four will win a handful, sometimes even win seven or eight games in a row, and when he is good, there are more people who call, to the back, the most one, four people together called to 50,000, so that he won 200,000.
One night, at the gambling table, except for Zhou Ming, everyone else lost a lot.
made a full profit of 2 million.
"Brother Zhao, I've made a lot of money, I'll play again next time." At the end, Rogabi patted Zhou Ming on the shoulder and laughed.
"Little brother, you must come next time, my sister still wants to win back what she lost. The ** woman hugged her arm again and said in a snort.
"Okay!" staring at the pair of murder weapons, Zhou Ming said like a pig brother again.
……
Get out of the castle.
Zhou Ming, whose face was originally flushed with excitement after winning, quickly returned to normal, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Come again, won't you fall into your trap?"
With such a low-level trap, who will be fooled except for smart people who are too conceited, and fools who are hopelessly stupid?
2 million money for nothing.
