Tycoon: I can see the goddess's wish list-Chapter 541 - 539, Winter home pajamas? Want to know more?
In the living room, Bai Ningbing set up a yoga mat and pulled a cushion from the couch, tossing it to Luofeng with a giggle.
"Baby, where’s your mom?" Luofeng casually asked.
"She’s changing. Her coat is uncomfortable to wear at home!" Bai Ningbing replied.
Before Luofeng could respond, Tangya emerged, indeed wearing winter home pajamas.
It was a pity it was winter; winter pajamas were all thick and snug.
What if they were summer pajamas, like silk camisoles?
COUGH COUGH COUGH.
Let’s not talk about it.
Look forward to summer!
Tangya sat to Luofeng’s left, while Bai Ningbing sat on his right.
Bai Ningbing opened a deck of playing cards and said, "Let’s agree on the punishment first. The loser gets one slip of paper for each bomb played in the round. If you’re the Landlord and you lose, this penalty is doubled. So, for example, if you’re the Landlord and you lose a round where four bombs were played, you’ll have to stick eight slips of paper. Also, a player is only accountable for up to four bombs they personally play when calculating penalties."
"Why assume I’ll be the one losing?" Luofeng laughed.
"You’ll find out in a bit. I’m really good at playing Landlords; I can remember all 54 cards," Bai Ningbing declared confidently.
Has this top-scholar beauty applied her learning abilities to Landlords? Tangya silently pondered. As someone who often dealt with mathematics, she couldn’t remember all 54 cards but was adept at recalling the crucial ones.
Teasing her, Luofeng said, "Isn’t that just like being a card counter? Card counters lose plenty!"
If card counters could always win, wouldn’t ’Happy Landlords’ be thriving?
"HUMPH! We’re going to play Landlords the old-fashioned way, drawing one card at a time in turns. That greatly limits the luck factor!" Bai Ningbing said.
Luofeng smiled. In the past, Landlords players did indeed draw cards one by one. It wasn’t like nowadays, where cards are dealt in clumps, making it much easier for good hands to form.
"No problem!" Luofeng nodded.
In the first round, the card determining the Landlord was the Ace of Spades, which Luofeng claimed. He didn’t hesitate to bid for Landlord.
Luofeng’s hand wasn’t very strong. Though he had a pair of Jokers and a 2, along with a straight from 3 to A, he also had several unattached singles: a 4, a 5, a 9, and another 7.
Judging by his cards, the outcome of this round was uncertain. After all, three 2s were still in play in the other hands. If Bai Ningbing and Tangya were skilled players and held good cards, Luofeng would be in hot water.
But it didn’t matter; Luofeng activated his Gambling God Possession Card. This allowed him to completely avoid any risky plays.
Luofeng started by playing a pair of 7s. Bai Ningbing countered with a pair of Ks.
Luofeng chose to pass.
Bai Ningbing played a 3.
Tangya used a Q to block Luofeng, preventing him from getting rid of his small cards.
But Luofeng immediately played a 2, regaining control of the play.
This already signified Luofeng’s victory.
He then played his straight, from 3 to A.
Next, he led with a single 4, and his Xiaowang (Little Joker) took the trick, maintaining his lead.
Then he played a 5, and his Big King took that trick too.
Finally, with only a 9 left in his hand, he played it and won the round.
"I won!"
"Where are the paper slips?" Luofeng looked at Bai Ningbing.
Bai Ningbing had already prepared napkins and a cup of water. "Come on, stick them on!" she challenged. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
The game of sticking paper slips is best played with napkins, not sticky notes. Although sticky notes have their own adhesive, the glue can potentially harm the skin. The key is that pure water and napkins also have the side effect of revealing a girl’s makeup-free face. After all, no foundation, no matter how thick, can withstand the combination of pure water and a napkin. This game of sticking paper slips isn’t limited to cards; dice work just as well.
This is the essence of the Demon Mirror Game. Have you learned yet?
Luofeng went to Bai Ningbing first. He dipped a piece of napkin in the pure water and stuck it onto her fair forehead. It looked rather like a talisman paper. Bai Ningbing let out a coquettish humph and glared at him, seemingly plotting her revenge in the upcoming card games.
Luofeng remained unfazed.
After finishing with Bai Ningbing, he turned to Tangya.
A faint blush appeared on Tangya’s face as she said, "A loss is a loss. We let you win the first round, but we’ll win it back in the next one!"
"Then thank you, Auntie!" Luofeng smiled, dipped another piece of napkin in water, and stuck it onto Tangya’s forehead as well.
While placing the paper slip, Luofeng inevitably touched Tangya’s face and forehead. Because he had to get close to stick it on, their faces were very near each other. Luofeng could smell her fresh breath and noticed that her breathing was a bit heavy.
Is she nervous? he wondered.
In the second round, Bai Ningbing didn’t hesitate to bid for Landlord, but Luofeng managed to turn the tables on her. She ended up with two more paper slips stuck to her face.
In the third round, Luofeng was the Landlord again. This time, his luck was good, and he played two bombs.
"Ningbing, you’re up to five slips now," Luofeng teased. With the slips on her chin, Bai Ningbing looked like she was sporting a beard.
"Let’s settle up every twenty slips. Each time we settle, the loser does ten push-ups. How about it?" Bai Ningbing proposed.
"Are you sure you want to raise the stakes?"
"Of course!" Bai Ningbing nodded.
Luofeng then turned to Tangya. "Auntie, are you in on this too?"
"Twenty push-ups are easy for me!" Tangya said.
Luofeng then recalled Tangya doing yoga earlier, striking a Scorpion handstand and holding plank positions. Push-ups indeed seemed like no trouble for her. This beautiful yoga queen was truly an expert.
"Alright then!" Luofeng agreed with a nod.
In the next round, Luofeng’s hand was terrible, full of mismatched single cards—what players called a "telephone number" hand. With cards like these, even with the Gambling God Possession Card, there was no way to salvage the situation. He could only try to end the round quickly.
"How about that?" Bai Ningbing gloated with a coquettish humph. She had won the round with a "fool’s hand"—a hand so strong even an idiot could win—boasting three bombs, and was now quite smug.
"Alright, alright, stick them on!" Luofeng replied magnanimously.
Bai Ningbing stuck all four paper slips on Luofeng’s chin, clearly remembering him giving her a "beard" earlier.
Honestly, looking at Bai Ningbing’s beautiful face so close as she stuck the slips on him, Luofeng felt a desperate urge to pull her in for a deep kiss.
But Tangya was right there, wasn’t she?
Even with the Gambling God Possession Card, Luofeng still lost frequently. After all, Bai Ningbing and Tangya often received "heavenly hands"—those foolproof hands that were so easy to win with.
Around five o’clock, Bai Ningbing had already done two sets of push-ups.
In the current round, however, Luofeng won again. He first stuck the paper slips on Bai Ningbing.
"Hold on a second, I need to go to the bathroom!" Bai Ningbing said, getting up.
"Mm," Luofeng nodded.
As Bai Ningbing entered the bathroom, Luofeng once again began sticking paper slips on Tangya...
