The road ahead is vast, and even if the Titan cuts through the waves at top speed, it still feels like it will never end.
Lu Li spent the entire day, except for eating, on the deck, holding on to the railing and looking at the scenery.
During this period, there were occasional huge waves, forcing passengers to return to the cabin, but they could not make people feel bumpy.
Not only was it related to the huge and solid hull, Lu Li could sense that every time a storm or huge wave approached, it would be offset and weakened by another force, making it no longer a threat.
Serial people?
In view of the complex system, the information that is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and various mysteries, Lu Li will not think too much about this for the time being.
After waiting for a while, everything will be answered in the legendary UM Library. After all, anything you take out from there may affect the direction of human destiny.
For example: the mysterious book in his possession.
Just tear off a page and give it to someone who is very curious, and give him the method of reading it. Then... what comes with the spell will definitely become the source of disaster.
the other side.
Lu Li also aroused the curiosity of some people because he had been waiting at the deck railing to watch the scenery for a long time, ignoring the hurricane and waves.
…
The visibility was very good tonight, cloudless, and the sea looked particularly refreshing. Although he had seen the stars in the depths of the universe, Lu Li still stopped to admire them for a while before leaving the deck.
The first class cabin was brightly lit.
Taking into account the habits of some passengers, food will be provided 24 hours a day to ensure that the big guys can satisfy their appetites at all times.
In addition, banquets are also essential.
There is music and dancing every night.
Even the third-class cabin, which has the cheapest ticket, also has similar activities to relieve the loneliness and boredom of guests.
A city on the sea.
This is no exaggeration to describe the Titan.
However, Lu Li had attended too many banquets and subconsciously resisted such activities. In addition, he had no social needs, so he simply went...
Chess Room.
On a luxury cruise ship, any desire can be reasonably satisfied.
The first-class gentlemen held fine wines, smoked cigars, and talked loudly. The topics ranged from economics to politics and law, while the ladies discussed fashion and jewelry, seemingly enjoying themselves.
In theory, lower class cabins, that is, the services you can enjoy with a third-class ticket, are actually better than high-end hotels. People here also find their own happiness and are free from restraints——
Card games, women, drinking, dancing, arm wrestling.
Among them, gambling is the best way to arouse emotions, so among all the cabins, the chess and card room occupies the largest area, with at least nearly a hundred professional gambling tables. On a whim, Lu Li came up with the idea of giving it a try while passing by.
After all, there are several bricks made of gold in the suitcase, and there is no other use for them except using them. After returning to school, these bricks will be like scrap metal.
entrance.
"You're so lucky. As the saying goes, you don't play cards with people who step on shit."
A man in a bowler hat tossed his cards, stood up and shrugged: "I'm not playing anymore."
"Well, one person is missing."
A beautiful lady sighed, raised her eyes and looked around: "Who wants to join in?"
"me!"
The men around were all crazy, as if they had never seen a woman in their lives.
"Senior!"
At the card table, Yang Kai, who has been lucky and has been winning money, waved his hand.
This guy said he was looking for true love, disappeared for almost a day, and ended up at the gambling table with the beautiful woman he saw in the morning?
Lu Li was speechless.
Then, without any hesitation, he sat on the empty seat under the jealous eyes of many.
There was no need to exchange the chips, Yang Kai very enthusiastically divided half of the ones piled in front of him and pushed them over.
Generally speaking, ladies and young ladies from wealthy families wear gorgeous clothes and walk dignifiedly on the second deck, looking down with aristocratic elegance, and never come down for fear of tarnishing their nobility.
The woman on the left is like this in the morning.
As a result, now I have changed into a set of light clothes and am sitting among a group of men gambling...
The style of painting changed too quickly.
With the senior sitting on one side and the beauty sitting on the other, Yang Kai snapped his fingers, summoned the waiter and invited everyone around him to drink.
Lu Li took his seat and the man who was about to leave paused. He took the wine glass from the waiter and forced a smile:
"Thanks for the hospitality."
"Although it's my money."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is unwilling, but what can be done?
I bumped into a newbie who was extremely lucky.
The reason why I say this is because when Yang Kai first came in, he deliberately asked around for the specific gameplay.
Many people watched him go from being unfamiliar to being skilled to being high-spirited.
"How to play? I want to know the rules."
Lu Li spoke.
Instantly, everyone was shocked.
Could it be another miracle?
At this moment, another stranger at this table wiped his forehead, where there was a layer of sweat.
Who would want to be taken advantage of all the time if it wasn't to show off their financial resources to the pretty lady at the same table?
The gentleman who just threw his cards and ran away undoubtedly lost the most, followed by him.
In the face of good luck, only the lady managed to resist and maintain a no-lose-no-win situation. Now a newbie appears...
But it turned out that the worries were overblown.
Lu Li came here for fun, he didn't care about winning or losing, and he didn't bother to remember the cards——
In the eyes of ordinary people, there is no difference between the patterns on the back of a deck of cards, but if he is intentional, even a trace of fingerprints or scratches that cannot be observed with the naked eye can become obvious signs.
At midnight, Lu Li lost and still had a few chips left. According to the normal rhythm, he could probably play four or five games.
Most of these things flowed back to Yang Kai, and the remaining ones were shared equally between Mia and another gambler, helping the latter regain a little blood.
"Senior, are you still playing?"
"Let's play for another hour. I have to go back to my room and read a book later."
Book?
This word seemed very abrupt, just like on a battlefield where bullets were flying, a soldier suddenly said that he wanted to eat a lollipop, which made many onlookers laugh.
On the other hand, Yang Kai, who knew Lu Li's details, couldn't help but wonder what kind of books the boss read.
"Well, if I can win all the chips in front of you, then I won't lose too much today. Unfortunately... the chance is very slim."
The unknown man sat slumped in the chair. He had no appetite at all and just wanted to take advantage of the bully for a while to make up for his losses.
Mia knocked on the tablecloth casually. She was the best among the Sequencers. Even the high-Sequencers called by official organizations such as the church could not show all the power in her body.
And most importantly, Mia has a power that even a prophet can't match. She can specifically sense the abilities of each person and slightly control the trajectory of destiny.
After so many years, no one can hide her identity from under her eyes.
Except Lu Li.
From the wolf-headed cane to the black and white guns hanging on his waist, and even himself, nothing could be seen through.
Because of this, Mia, who was planning to experience life, became interested and suggested: "How about we put all the chips on the line and play the last game?"
His eyes fell on Yang Kai.
Since he has been winning money, even after dividing half of it, he is still winning. Therefore, the chips in front of him are still a huge amount of money, so agreeing to this method of playing is undoubtedly a loss...
However, after following Lu Li for a while, Yang Kai actually didn't care about this. The so-called money was just a brick in the boss's box.
"Can."
"Then I'll follow."
After struggling for a moment, the gentleman who had recovered part of his losses decided to give it a try, because he felt that he had a 1/4 chance of becoming the only winner.
But the truth is too heartbreaking.
Because he realized that he was being tested, Lu Li decided to take it seriously and rely on his extraordinary memory and observation skills to try to win.
Two are cheating, one is very lucky.
There's just a regular guy stuck in the middle.
The girl's gray-blue eyes radiated a strange green light, which reminded Lu Li of the same kind——
Wolf.
In fact, she did not avoid it, but others could not detect it with the naked eye due to the angle and other reasons, except Lu Li, as if she was deliberately showing it off.
As the ability was activated, some things appeared in front of Mia's eyes, arranged in rows, faintly blurred in the void, and then quickly solidified.
[The playing cards have been used for half a day and are worn out by 0.1%. The first Jack...]
These small words seemed to be engraved on her eyeballs. The girl still remembers that when she first experienced this strange ability, she kept waving things in front of her eyes and on the tip of her nose like fireflies. Only air.
Ability one, activate.
Compared to Lu Li who only focused on observing details, she was obviously more skilled.
"After the dealer deals the cards, the probability of everyone getting the ideal card is reduced to one thousandth."
Over the past fifty years, she has conducted countless experiments in private to analyze and verify the limits of her mysterious powers.
For the overall event, it can be activated five times a day, and the probability can be increased or decreased.
Of course, the space for this ability to be used is very limited at present, and it can only achieve miraculous effects under specific circumstances:
The hot water pot on the stove suddenly bursts because it cannot withstand the high temperature.
When playing cards now, at the moment when the cards are dealt, you can increase your chances of getting trump cards and let others draw bad cards.
Accidents cannot be created out of thin air.
"It would be perfect if it evolved to the point where even physically strong enemies could die from non-existent heart attacks."
Mia thought this way more than once.
While Lu Li was unveiling the sign, he was watching her operate it, and he felt more and more interesting in his heart.
"I lost."
"It seems that all the good luck has been used up before. Beautiful lady, you are the one blessed by luck."
After seeing the cards in their hands, the prodigal duo had no interest in playing anymore and simply folded their cards and admitted defeat, appearing very decisive and free and easy.
"well."
"No fun, bye."
Another deck of cards was thrown away, and the gambling gentleman put on his hat and left without looking back.
From this moment on, all the chips on the table belong to Miss Mia. Many men who have fantasies about her can only rely on their appearance and charm, not money.
"meet tomorrow."
This test was purely for the beautiful lady to add drama to him. Lu Li didn't reveal anything and quickly left the chess and card room with his cane.
Smoke a pipe of Xingshen tobacco and read a few pages of mystical reading before your sanity reaches the dangerous level.
Then... take a shower and go to bed.
At this stage, Lu Li's vacation life in the other world seems to be very regular. It has been a long time since he experienced the thrilling and intrigue feeling. It is really a kind of enjoyment.
Just leave like that?
Shouldn't a normal man find a way to get close to him and have an in-depth communication?
Abnormal extraordinary beings are curious about this power to control destiny, and want to find ways to get close and test it?
Looking at Lu Li's retreating back, Mia frowned.
On the side, Yang Kai, a normal man, was extending an invitation, saying that they could go to the banquet hall specially provided for first-class passengers and dance a soothing dance.
"Sorry, I'm too tired after going through the ups and downs at the gambling table. See you tomorrow."
"good."
Yang Kai smiled reservedly.
For a time traveler, hanging on a tree was undoubtedly a very stupid thing to do. He didn't dwell too much on it, and turned around and left without even looking at the true love he said earlier.
Is the housekeeper in the suite in bad shape?
Isn’t the female messenger pretty?
When he was with the girls last night, Yang Kai felt that his phobia had been resolved and he would no longer think about the impending disaster and thousands of living lives being buried at the bottom of the sea.
…
Like most octopuses, its eyes can extend and retract more than two feet in any direction on its head. The difference is that its eyes have three sets of eye stalks, which far exceed the necessary telescopic length of each eye... Inspection revealed that there are freely retractable claws on the back of each tentacle, about five feet long, curved and sharp... There are also tiny protrusions on the hind legs where the tentacles are gathered, like the embryonic wings. 】
The pipe was placed next to him, and Lu Li pinched his brows. The book in his hand was a bit stale and he must not read more.
With just the right amount of weariness, he fell into sleep.
In the darkness, the Titan was traveling at a constant speed on the ocean. If someone stood on the deck, they would definitely feel uneasy, fearing that they would hit some island or reef.
But among boatmen, those extraordinary people who believe in storms and oceans can guarantee that they will never make such stupid mistakes, because they can detect the hydrological conditions within a fifty-mile radius of the ship.
If you encounter any obstacles, you will have enough time and distance to slow down and deflect.
The heating is constant.
The food keeps coming.
Passengers live so comfortably in the moving steel city that it is impossible to tell the difference between night and day without taking a walk on the deck.
Being reminded by his biological clock, Lu Li, who was on vacation, slept until about nine o'clock. Sleeping a few more hours or going to bed a few hours later would not have any impact on life at this level.
However, when the spirit and reason are about to reach the danger zone, there is nothing to do without sleeping.
Moreover, during most of the time when he quit the exam, Lu Li tried to return to his normal routine as much as possible, like a normal person, to avoid his psychology from becoming abnormal in a subtle way.
A new day begins.
"Morning, Mr. Lu."
"A glass of juice, any flavor."
On the deck, Lu Li took a glass of orange juice from the waiter, then looked at the woman beside him and said with a smile:
"Morning, Miss Mia."
