Chapter 164: Lady Elma

Edward also flew less when he was a social animal in his previous life, but at that time, the rise of low-cost airlines not only made the seat pitch in economy class shorter and shorter, but even eliminated free luggage and in-flight meals.

But right now, even economy class passengers can openly ask the flight attendant to make their own cocktails, of course, only for low-slung and simple things like martinis.

Socialist Airlines, on the other hand, is more radical in this regard, Aeroflot offers vodka, and Chinese civil aviation has Moutai......

Not to mention Edward in business class, red wine with lobster, and cheese chioce, although there are not many varieties, but this is at an altitude of 30,000 feet.

I just don't know if I can touch the flight attendant?

Of course, this is just the yy of the male who is full of warm thoughts after drinking.

What's more, even if you really have this heart, there is no need to make up your mind on the flight attendant, look at the destination of the flight!

Las Vegas, a paradise for drunken fans!

In my previous life, I wanted to be corrupt and degenerate, but I had no money.

It's a good life, and I can appreciate the luxury of the original golden age.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane is about to land at McCarran International Airport in Paradise City, please take your seat belts and ......"

...... This is too rough for old rice, right...... The airport was built in the city of Paradise...... Is this to please a good mouthpiece? Or is it to show how much Jesus teaches the nation to love God......

In short, although he is an atheist traverser, he is still a little hairy in his heart, for fear that the captain will make a mistake about where heaven is......

The plane landed safely without any suspense, after all, at this moment, the service industry in the United States is still the top level in the world.

The airport has a pick-up service provided by a travel agency, although it is not a lengthened Lincoln, but the new black Cadillac Eldorado is not only magnificent enough in appearance, but it is even more rare that this is the first batch of civilian cars equipped with air conditioning, blowing warm air, so that Edward vaguely has the feeling of riding in a car in his previous life.

The Bellagio Hotel & Casino is a Las Vegas landmark and one of the most luxurious hotels, and Mitzrassi Rabi booked him a suite.

Take a comfortable shower, then pick up the chips and try your luck in the slot machine hall downstairs.

Usually he ignores gambling and is too lazy to participate or object, but since he is here today, he must always experience it.

It's a shame to say that he doesn't know anything about gambling, baccarat, blackjack and even mahjong, and even the mentally handicapped can play slot machines naturally become his only choice.

Obviously, the love (cannon) field was proud, the casino was frustrated, and it didn't take many to lose all the chips and return to a state of poverty.

He was not addicted to this, he lost if he lost, and he didn't have the heart to turn it over, so he simply walked around the hotel and visited.

He found the Executive Lounge particularly lively, and when he walked in, he found out that the 68th Annual All-Meter Chess Championship was being held here.

As a good player, he was of course lucky to be able to watch the international grandmasters play, and he even thanked the slot machine for a few games that allowed him to lose money, otherwise he might have missed the tournament.

The executive lounge has been arranged accordingly, the huge lounge has made a special temporary partition, and at the end is the chess player's competition place, and there is a large chessboard outside, and there are staff members who post every move of the players.

There weren't too many onlookers.

This is also normal, although chess has a good mass base in the United States, this kind of long and arduous intellectual game does not seem to be in line with the arrogant enthusiasm and impatience of the people of the United States.

Especially among young people, most high schools and universities have chess clubs, and the level of coaches hired is not low.

But there are still very few participants.

In this country, young people don't seem to have much admiration for the intellectually strong, especially the girls, who feel that the boys who play chess are either weak or have strange personalities, in short, physical and psychological problems must account for one of the two, if both are also the norm, adolescent girls have never had a good impression of nerd.

They prefer to date the stars of various teams.

Sigmund Freud said that sex is the best driving force of human beings.

Without the favor of girls, young men of school age will never join unless they have to, and clubs with piles of losers have become the objects of daily ridicule of girls, and so on.

Therefore, although the US government has always wanted to win a global championship to prove that capitalism has a unique advantage in this regard, look at these strangely dressed and strange-looking young chess players, and then look at the talent of the Russians from the Children's Palace interest group to the city team to the provincial team and then to the national team (at least not a grade in appearance...... )

The government, for its part, has also wisely lowered the tone of propaganda.

Forget it, forget it, although I want to die, but good capitalism does not fight socialism, and those who know the times are good governments......

But after all, chess is the most popular chess game in the West, and the United States has absorbed a large number of European immigrants, especially Eastern European and Russian immigrants, the level of these people is really not bad, and there are a lot of them, so although the foreign war is a layman, the annual national championship is also decent.

Moreover, this thing has a bonus under the guise of high intelligence, and major hotel groups are also willing to provide free venues and player accommodation to fight for the right to host, and a large-scale competition can attract much more media than spending the same amount of money on advertising.

Bellagio hosted the tournament in this context.

Edward looked at it for a while, and felt a little tired, this is a highly brain-consuming exercise, these days he has been thinking about how to squeeze money from the old immortal, but also to take care of his studies and how to trick his beloved teacher into bed, his brain is already in a state of high fatigue, and now he sees the masters of all walks of life fighting wits and courage, and the black and white grid actually makes him feel a little dizzy.

Quickly close his eyes and find a place to sit by the window, it is already nine o'clock at night, fireworks begin to set off outside, the fireworks on weekends are more intense than usual, he sipes soda, and enjoys a rare leisure.

"Hello, is there anyone here?"

He turned his head and saw that it was a woman in her mid-thirty-five or sixteen years of age.

This is a very beautiful woman, Caucasians, but with black hair and black eyes, and bright red lipstick, she looks young and vibrant.

She is wearing a champagne-colored round-brimmed top hat, a dark floral dress, and a mutton long-sleeved cardigan, which is elegant and beautiful, with the charm of a mature woman and a hint of playfulness.

She was looking at him slightly.

"A typical middle-class housewife, well-off, well-maintained, with a somewhat plump figure, but not burdensome, but unfortunately not a rich woman...... But if it's a merry widow, it shouldn't be bad, no, it should be called a surviving person......"

Thinking of this, he immediately put on a human and dog appearance.

Yale's more than a year of study has made him a big leap in dealing with people, his appearance is not ugly, coupled with the temperament of Sven scum, it should be said that Edward at this time should be a very popular type among women.

And the success of Megan and Yelena, as well as the upcoming success of Rushberg, gave him a lot of confidence when facing women.

After all, the three of them can be regarded as goddesses in terms of appearance and identity, and now Edward's vision is very high, and ordinary women usually can't get into his eyes, even if it is a standard middle-class high-quality girl like Silare, he doesn't care much.

But since it is a person in a strange place, people's emotions will change, and they will inexplicably pursue some so-called excitement.

"Oh, no, please take a seat." Edward smiled and gestured with his hand.

As he sat down, he noticed that the cocktail glass in his hand was half empty, so he rang the bell and called the service company, "Another martini." ”

"Thanks, my name is Irma......"

"My name is Edward," someone volunteered to hold out.

The two of them clasped hands together, and each felt that the other's palms were a little hot.

"The fireworks outside are so beautiful," Edward looked at the other man.

"Yes, I like it too, but the table by the window is full, so I took the liberty of sitting on your side."

"That's my pleasure, I don't know if to look out the window now," he said, shrugging his shoulders and making a strange gesture.

"You're so interesting. I'm an old woman......"

"Obviously, you don't understand charisma like I do......"

At this time, the waiter brought a martini, and Irma picked it up and took a small sip, "I still like alcoholic drinks, it won't scare you......"

"The beauty of alcohol can only be understood by adults, and people who don't understand it are not worth associating."

"Seriously, you're so good at pleasing people."

"I'm just honestly expressing my opinion......" At this point, Edward can be sure that there is a drama today.

"Do you come here often?" The other party asked

"My first time here. What about you? ”

"Me too, I accompanied my daughter to the competition."

"Daughter, take part in the competition?" Edward was taken aback.

This is the highest level of the whole meter competition, high specifications, high prize money, the corresponding can be qualified to participate in the competition is naturally also a master, at least the masters of the United States will come, especially the state champions of various states, as well as the good players of various universities or professional clubs will also participate.

But Irma looked only thirty-five or sixteen, and would look even younger if she was willing to change her makeup.

Judging by the way Irma talks and dresses, it is clear that she is also well-educated, which means that she is not the kind of village woman in the south who gets married at the age of 16.

Even if she got married in college, no matter how you count it, her daughter is unlikely to be over 20 years old.

For a woman of this age to compete in a national competition is already a great talent.

"Yes, Beth is only eighteen years old, but she is already a champion in Kentucky, and I am her adoptive mother and her agent......"

"It's enviable, thankfully, you didn't show up with Miss Beth......" Edward smiled

"Why?" The other party showed the right amount of doubt.

"In that case, I might think you're sisters."

"Oh my God, you're so good at making people happy......"

Irma had a lot of wine, and soon the martini was bottomed out.

Edward once again beckons the waiter to "a martini, a cup of IPA"

"From soda to beer?" Irma's slender fingers supported her chin, and the pale pink nail polish stood out.

"Yes, I don't like to drink, mainly because drinking is too demanding on the environment......"

"But your environment hasn't changed?"

"Talent is the most important part of the environment, isn't it?" Edward raised the glass in his hand, put it under his nose and sniffed it, then looked at Irma and said, "It smells so good......

The latter laughed and said nothing.

Cheers: Martini glasses and straight beer mugs make a "ding" sound.

The two sides suddenly felt a lot more familiar.

So we started chatting all over the world.

When the other party learned that Edward was a Ph.D. student at Yale Law School, he immediately became even more enthusiastic.

Edward also switched from beer to whiskey.

Irma is still Martini, but it's already the fourth.

Technology is still not developed enough in this era, but there are also advantages, there is no 24-hour personal monitoring of mobile phones.

In the past two days, he can do whatever he wants, and he can do whatever he wants, without worrying about the phone ringing suddenly when he is embarrassed.

Las Vegas is the City of Sex, where theoretically all kinds of human fantasies can be fulfilled if there is money.

Edward is not a rich man now, but he can afford his dreams with his worth.

But there is also a very uncomfortable place here.

Nevada, where Las Vegas is located, is the only state in the country where women's tickets are legal.

But!

Las Vegas and Clark County, where it is located, are the only ones in Nevada that ban women's tickets.

It is said that it is to prevent various problems that may arise from it.

However, if you have money, these laws are not a problem.

The problem is that in this way the price-performance ratio goes down completely.

Someone is not simply heartbroken about money, but as a time-traveler, he is particularly concerned about the concept of "sex" price ratio.

What could have been done for $20 is now doubled, and there are more procedures to turnover, which feels annoying, enough to discourage people's exuberance.

Of course, he still carries a few blank marriage and divorce certificates with him, but he always feels that it is funny to ask both parties to sign the agreement carefully before going to bed.

It's one thing to do business, but once you do it, it feels weird.

Irma in front of her is really a good object.

She is a little older, but with proper maintenance, the traces left by the years on her body have become charm.

Because of the fact that she has not given birth, her figure is very intriguing, and compared with Megan, she is also a different kind of beauty.

"Wait a minute" Irma got up from her seat and walked to the corner of the lounge, where a large Stein grand piano was located.

Looking at Irma's curvaceous figure from behind, he has a more intuitive understanding of the shape of the Coke bottle, especially under the influence of alcohol.

Irma sat down at the piano, looked at him with a smile, and began to play.

When the song was finished, she slowly sat back down at Edward's table in front of everyone's attention.

But this time, the two are no longer facing each other, but sitting at a 90-degree angle to each other, and the distance has narrowed a lot.

"I can't tell you that you're still a pianist," Edward complimented heartily.

He doesn't know anything about serious music, so he naturally doesn't know what kind of music the other party is playing, but he can still hear whether it's good or bad.

The piano is an instrument that pays attention to the strength of the keys, but also takes into account the accuracy, because of the high difficulty and expressiveness, it is called the king of musical instruments.

When he was a child in his last life, there was a piano craze in China, and he didn't mix it up, but there were several friends around him who had passed the tenth-level exam, and he had to show off every time he had the opportunity.

But compared to Irma in front of her, it was too much worse.

What's more, when Irma plays, not only the music is good, but also graceful and pleasing to the eye.

The only downside is that he wears a bit too much, of course this is the executive lounge, Edward pondered for a while and asked the hotel if he could change to a senior suite with a piano, and it didn't matter if he paid a little more.

Music is the companion of the soul, and when the body is happy, the soul can be together, and that is enjoyment.
