Lucifer sacrificed too much for world peace

The girl looked at Lucifer's smile and was in a daze for a moment. Her boyfriend coughed and she suddenly came back to reality: "Ah, he is good at math, so he is here.

"The boyfriend understood his girlfriend's behavior just now, so he was not angry at all. It could even be said that he sat obediently opposite Lucifer, listening to Lucifer explaining the rules of backgammon, and planned to behave well.

Then he lost hard.

Lucifer didn't want this either. How could he make money if this person lost? But this person's skills were so poor that he had already released the flood instead of releasing water. He still couldn't lose, and he was in a difficult position.

Moreover, this person's level is really average, not even one-third as good as Gauss. He wants to be accommodating and say "I see what I want in you" but it won't work, because the other person won't believe it himself. .

Just at this awkward moment, the second couple came in, and Lucifer breathed a sigh of relief. He gave the first couple space to discuss what to do next, and went to receive the second couple.

Not surprisingly, the second couple also learned about his store from the newspaper.

Among the second couple, the one who was good at math was a girl. Lucifer didn't dare to get on by himself. What if the other couple lost again, so he asked the newcomer to compete with the boys in the first group.

Although this boy already had experience playing against Lucifer, he still lost to the new girl. It can only be said that his qualifications are really not good.

The girls in the losing group couldn't help it and asked Lucifer: "Well, can we borrow this chessboard for a while? We want to practice a little bit.

Of course Lucifer wanted them to pass the test, so he readily agreed: "But only for 10 minutes."

"What if someone comes next and he doesn't have enough chessboards? You can't use paper to draw a chessboard. It's too cheap.

In fact, Lucifer had already realized that there was something wrong with the previous money-making model without having to experience today's situation.

He can't just make money from those who pass the test. He also has to find a way to make money from those who can't pass the test! Otherwise, they are occupying the props, wasting his time, and not paying him. When will he get a PS4 console? However, there is currently no good time to reform, especially since the review is imminent, so it is better to pass the review first before talking about anything else.

When Lucifer returned to the hall from the kitchen, the aroma of instant noodles was faintly wafting out. When he looked up, he saw four pairs of eyes staring at him, swallowing secretly.

Especially the losing group's eyes looked complicated and regretful.

Lucifer: "..." Although he looked very pitiful, Tufen seemed to want to give him money, and he also wanted to make this money, but there were other people watching, so he couldn't make an exception openly. .

In order to make money, Lucifer used his brain a little bit.

"Well...it's a rare trip, and I won't let you leave empty-handed, but the trial is serious and no exceptions can be made.

How about this, you two.

"Lucifer nodded and only watched the two people who didn't take action. "You two will play the next game. The winner will have other rewards.

"Everyone knows the meaning of other rewards. Although the first couple who came for the hot and sour noodles described in the newspaper were a little regretful, they still responded firmly: "Okay! ” I heard that the drinks here are also amazing, and it’s worth it to get the drinks.

The second couple who had already confirmed that they would get a meal had no objection. Anyway, no matter they won or lost, they would not lose. Besides, looking at this situation, their opponents might be weak.

So, while the noodles were still cooking, the two groups got together and played a game of backgammon again.

Lucifer was not interested in supervising. Anyway, he was not a real sage. He would make money no matter who won. Wang Jian took the opportunity to go out and catch the passing newsboy: "A copy of Eden Daily... How much does it cost?" The newsboy said quickly : "A portion of 10 copper coins. If you subscribe for the whole year, you can get a discount of 3 silver coins and 500 copper coins.

"1000 copper coins = 1 silver coin, a discount of less than 200 copper coins... Okay, since you plan to learn more about the world, it's time to order a newspaper.

Although Lucifer was short of money, he was not stingy when it came time to spend money. He readily took out 4 silver coins and handed them to the newsboy, and directly ordered them for one year.

The newsboy leaned on the wall and wrote the receipt, then handed it to Lucifer along with a copy of the Eden Daily and the remaining change.

Of course, if you think about it, you will know that normal people will not carry so many copper coins with them, otherwise they will be too heavy to walk, so the newsboy gave Lucifer banknotes.

Lucifer was not surprised at all.

Although he complained a lot about this world, the trust between people is really much stronger than the world he went to before. Since gold, silver, and copper coins are inconvenient, it is natural for paper money to appear.

Deception may not necessarily disappear here, but making counterfeit banknotes, which seriously damages people's trust in others and even affects the economic development of the entire world, will definitely be severely punished by God. Therefore, there are almost no obstacles to the circulation of banknotes and it is directly integrated into the original monetary system.

Lucifer looked at the change in his hand and calculated that 1,000 copper coins = 1 silver coin = 100 yuan.

Well, 1 silver coin for a bowl of noodles sounds okay, but 100 yuan for a bowl of noodles makes me feel like a shady businessman all of a sudden.

But in the same way, if you pay 1,000 yuan for an ordinary Chitu Lian, this alarm clock has a darker heart! At any rate, the price of noodles was set by Einstein, but the price of Krypton Gold Pool was set by the alarm clock! Lucifer cursed while counting the time to go back and serve the noodles.

Just as it happened, when it was served to the table, the winner was also decided over there.

Since they were all novices, the gap was not particularly big. This time it was the first group that won.

The two groups exchanged their chess experience in a pleasant atmosphere where they both gained something.

After all... Although it is called a trial, this trial is really interesting! Even if there is no reward, they still want to play a few more games! After Lucifer brought the hot and sour noodles to the second group, he began to give special rewards to the first group.

The girl in the first group looked a little confused as Lucifer put a small package in her hand.

Lucifer smiled: "This is popping candy.

"Sugar! Everyone's eyes lit up."

Since the city of Eden does not produce sugar cane, it can only import cane sugar from cities with sugar cane gardens, but those places are far away. This makes Eden's sugar relatively rare and the price is naturally very expensive.

Fortunately, sucrose is not a necessity. If you don’t eat it, don’t eat it. There are sweeter fruits anyway, but the feeling is still different.

The closest thing is honey. When you encounter wild honeycombs, it’s not bad to imagine the delicious taste of sugar through honey. However, honey is also very expensive and is usually used for sacrifices or as medicine, so “sugar” is still “sweet” in people’s minds. ", synonymous with "dream".

If Einstein or Gauss were here today, their families would be able to supply some sweets to satisfy their cravings from time to time, but the ones here today seem to be the type who live frugally just to have a happy day with their lovers. To them, sugar is huge. The surprise.

But... "Why is it called popping candy?" the man holding the small bag of candy asked in confusion.

“As the name suggests, when you eat it, the sugar will jump in your mouth, so it’s called popping candy.

" Lucifer felt that he had explained it clearly, but no one understood what it felt like to have this thing jumping in his mouth.

"Is it similar to the 'white sparkling water' described by Alexandre Dumas?" someone asked.

Lucifer raised his eyebrows: "It's a little different, but it's definitely similar.

"What did Alexandre Dumas write? He will read the newspaper in a moment!
