503 She Is Bare Naked! (1/2)
In the end, Wang Lu did not persuade the devil to play the role-playing game. Although at the end of the day, his creativity did arouse the interest of the devil, but there was a technical difficulty that could not be surmounted.
”Those worms, just smelling them makes me nauseated, much less take possession of them or something… My subconscious rejection will wipe out their city in a flash.”
Considering the two thousand years of absolute rule of this devil, Wang Lu didn't think that this was just bragging. Therefore, he had to regretfully offer an alternative proposal, ”Have you ever heard of mahjong?”
”What is that?”
Wang Lu answered, ”A very exciting traditional competitive game.”
Then he opened his mustard seed bag, took out a huge jadeite, and gently touched that jade stone with his fingers. The jade stone was then neatly cut into hundreds of small blocks. Each block was green in color on the back and white on the front. Then, as Wang Lu's finger gently swayed, a variety of different patterns appeared on the front of the block.
Ouyang Shang simply found it funny. ”Do you want to teach her to play mahjong?”
”Yes, moreover, it's a special kind of mahjong.”
”... What's special about it?”
Wang Lu let out a chuckle and then said to the devil, ”Compared to the mahjong that can be seen everywhere, my mahjong has a unique way of playing: the loser must take off the clothes.”
”... Wait a minute, how come I have never heard of such a dirty game?”
”That's why Big Brother, although you're good at almost everything, you're not experienced enough and not knowledgeable enough.”
While bickering with his Big Brother, Wang Lu explained the rules of mahjong game to the invisible devil. The primordial spirit of that devil was really powerful, and she completely understood the rules of the game in just one explanation.
The mortal world game was not much fun for her, but the biggest attraction of the competitive game was the fight against the opponents. And although the strength of the two little guys in front of her was not worth mentioning, they always had surprising novel ideas.
”Alright, I'll play with you. But the rules about taking off clothes… I know what you want, and I can promise you, if you can really defeat me, then I will let you see my proud appearance.”
His intention being seen through by the other party, Wang Lu didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, he slightly smiled and said, ”Okay, but before the game begin, can I wear my clothes first?”
Previously, in order to clearly smell the scent on his body, the devil forced Wang Lu to go naked. But Wang Lu was also confident, so confident that even after being naked for so long, he didn't rush to put on his clothes back. In any case, there was no harm in letting others see the thing that he was most proud of—hiding one's own treasure all the time was too boring.
The invisible devil was also very concerned about the fairness of the game. After all, the fun of the game lies in making the others take off their clothes. Although Wang Lu had gone naked in front of her, she was totally not interested in human nudity. What she was interested in was to let these two proud little guys taste defeat over and over again.
But soon she found out that she probably shouldn't tolerate them too much. Because Wang Lu's so-called 'wear clothes' was clearly a loophole in the procedure. After wearing his underwear and robe, Wang Lu began to wear more clothes. From the simple gown to the luxurious fur coat, there were dozens of layers of them, including a lot of small pieces such as belts and shawls. Obviously, these small pieces, although small, must be counted as one each.
God knows how many things were stored inside the mustard seed bag by Wang Lu, these clothes were clearly not his everyday wear. The outer clothes were at least a few times larger than his size, and their style also seemed to be quite incompatible. He just casually collected them, yet they all came in handy at this time!
When the devil was amazed, she heard Ouyang Shang suddenly say, ”Oh, that's right, there is this trick!”
Then he also untied his mustard seed bag from his waist, began to pull out clothes one by one, and then wrapped himself into a ball in just a short moment. These two lead disciples of Spirit Sword Sect that were separated by more than one hundred years were a pain in the ass in this kind of thing—there was an extraordinary tacit understanding between them!
”Hey, don't go too far, I now think this game is somewhat not fun anymore!”
Thereupon, Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang took off half of their clothes, and then the three of them officially began the game!
There was no flashing of lightning, rolling of thunder, blowing of wind, or rising of water. None of the three people used magical power or magical ability, each played the game with their most basic skill and luck.
Because if magical power or magical ability were to be used, there would be nothing fun to play. The great devil will get a natural win every round. As for Ouyang Shang and Wang Lu, let alone lining up a nice matching mahjong tile sign, perhaps they could only fish out plum orchid and bamboo chrysanthemum [1].
And when it came to basic skill, Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang did not have any advantage. No matter how talented they were, it was impossible for them to diligently study every trivial matter. Moreover, in the entertainment, mahjong was only a small part of it. It was an ordinary mortal game, not worth spending the time to study it.
What they had was nothing more than the ability to plan and calculate far more than an ordinary mortal. However, when it came to planning and calculation, who could compare to this devil who played the demon race like a toy for two thousand years? Even if the latter was only a beginner in mahjong game, her skill was still above those two disciples of Spirit Sword Sect.
That being the case, they could only stake all with their luck
The so-called luck was invisible and unpredictable. For many people in the martial world, this was something that exists if they believe, or non-existent if they don't believe. Even if some people were astonishingly lucky, they didn't dare to say that they only relied on luck.
However, for the cultivator of the immortal path, mastering the changes in the rules of the heaven and earth was like the ability to survive. And this one letter luck was one kind of embodiment of the rules of the change in heaven and earth. Thus, cultivators naturally had a different understanding of it.
Luck (good or bad) was real, the difference between good luck and bad luck was also real. Of course, this didn't create an absolute result. For example, no matter how lucky a person was, it was impossible to throw a coin and get the head for one hundred consecutive times. However, people who were lucky could tip the coin to their favor in the crucial moment.
