Chapter 36: [Clown Poker] and Lu Wei's Broken Appointment

Zhai Da pulled the curtains and carefully checked the newly acquired 【Clown Poker】 against the sunlight.

The first feeling is exquisite.

The shell is a thin metal box, and the way to open it is similar to the Bluetooth headset of his past life, with a magnetic suction effect.

With a flick of his thumb, it revealed fifty-four neatly arranged playing cards inside.

Zhai Da took one out, and the edge was actually a bit prickly...

According to the system, it is made of tin alloy. Zhai Da had seen such thin metal cards before, such as the "Buddha Saves Those with Fate Amulet" sold in temples, but the texture of the one in his hand is different, soft and tough.

Except for the weight, it is basically the same degree of bendability as ordinary playing cards, but it requires considerable force.

The back of the metal poker is matte gray-black, with only a huge flowery "J," which should mean Joker.

It's a good thing the system didn't give a huge "Ugly."

The front body is white, the texture is close to enamel, and the content is consistent with ordinary poker. There are thirteen cards for each of the four suits, and the patterns of J, Q, and K are nothing special. He has no research on poker.

Oh, there are also some differences. On the two big and small king cards, two envelopes are drawn, and there is a love heart in the center of the envelope.

Replacing the "Clown" pattern with a "Love Letter"... one black and white, one color, distinguishing size.

Zhai Da smacked his lips, no need to reflect the sense of presence of "synthesis materials" in such places.

"Except for inheriting the effects of the two materials, it is slightly strengthened. The biggest difference is that the form of existence has become playing cards, and the special effect 'Spotlight' needs to complete the unsealing task..."

Actually, he wanted to say that such a special thing is quite eye-catching in itself...

He tried to play with it, but because the 【Clown Poker】 itself is heavy, Zhai Da looked clumsy, and even shuffling was not smooth.

Zhai Da took one out and threw it out with maximum force.

The metal poker flew quickly toward the edge of the wardrobe, with a bang, it actually cut a mark.

Of course, because he had no skills, it was just a very shallow mark, and the metal poker fell to the ground, making a crisp clatter.

"In addition to the 'close-up magic' required by the unsealing task, maybe flying cards can also be learned, using 【Old Man's TV】 to play videos..."

Zhai Da was thoughtful.

If he wants to use it well, he is afraid he has to learn something... but even if it is just used as equipment that provides BUFF, it is not bad.

Not to mention the sense of humor, lies, magic, tricks, and love words are not easy to be exposed, which is relatively practical.

Especially the latter... sorry, I mean the former.

Just playing happily, Yu Xiaoli's voice came from outside the door: "Xiao Da! Ask Lu Wei where she is? Shouldn't you go down to pick her up?"

"Oh! I'll ask right away!"

Zhai Da put the poker in his pocket, walked out while sending a message to Lu Wei: "Where are you?"

As a result, there was no reply for a long time.

Zhai Da waited for a while, simply went downstairs, and waited at the entrance of the residential area.

Occasionally, he would play with a deck of cards in his hand. This thing is really exquisite, and the more he looks at it, the more he likes it.

But after waiting for more than ten minutes, there was still no sign of anyone, and the phone message didn't reply, so Zhai Da could only climb the stairs home again.

"Mom, you didn't stir-fry the vegetables, right?"

"Not yet, just waiting for people to come to put in the pot, the preparation work is all done, what's wrong?"

"Lu Wei might be late, I sent a message and she didn't reply."

Yu Xiaoli looked at her son suspiciously: "Do you have her phone number?"

She didn't have it... it seemed that Xiao Lu didn't have a mobile phone. Yu Xiaoli asked when Lu Wei started working on the first day.

"These are all minor details, I'll go down and wait again, maybe the phone is out of power."

The Nokia 3310 he gave was electronic garbage from the millennium after all, and it wouldn't be strange if the battery was bulging, so this possibility could not be ruled out.

Returned to the entrance of the residential area again, this time waiting for a full half hour.

Still no one came, and no information was returned.

It had already far exceeded the scope of normal lateness, and Zhai Da had some bad premonitions.

Returned home for the third time, Yu Xiaoli was already sitting on the sofa, but her expression was a bit worried.

"How about... we eat first?" Zhai Da said tentatively.

Yu Xiaoli shook her head: "I'm worried about Lu Wei, this child, did she encounter something... I just asked the factory, the address she registered is No. 273 Labor Street, Sunma Village. Xiao Da, you ride a bike to see, take Happiness Road."

Zhai Da tilted his head: "Makes sense, but why don't I take a taxi? It's several miles away?"

"What if you miss her by taxi? Maybe you'll run into her by bike, and you can lose weight."

This whole thing...

Zhai Da could only ride the 28-inch bicycle and go along the so-called Happiness Road.

Actually, he felt this way was quite stupid. People used to living in big cities might have a different understanding of finding people than in a small county. Zhai Da felt that this was simply inefficient to the point of being outrageous. In Shanghai before, let alone finding people a few kilometers away, he couldn't find them even a few hundred meters away.

People looking for people will be quite anxious.

But for those who have lived in Dongyang County for a lifetime, Yu Xiaoli can know every street and every corner like the back of her hand. She might not think there is any problem with riding a bike in the opposite direction to find someone, especially now that it is 2008.

Sunma Village is more than six kilometers away from Sanmao. Riding fast takes about 20-30 minutes. At first, Zhai Da didn't intend to ride all the way there, holding the idea of running into her on the road, he just rode, and called Ms. Yu every ten minutes to confirm if he had missed her.

But until he entered the territory of the so-called "Sunma Village," Lu Wei had not arrived at Sanmao Residential Area, so he could only continue to look for No. 273 Labor Street.

Sunma Village is a township-level area under Dongyang County, but because of the close distance, it gradually merged with the urbanization construction more than ten years ago.

The difference is that this side is more broken.

Not to mention the surrounding wasteland and farmland, the core area is actually very small. Looking at it, it is difficult to see buildings above four floors.

There are only a few streets in total, surrounding a potholed national highway in the middle. Large trucks often fly past with a clatter. Zhai Da's palms were sweating while riding.

Don't send me back to the mud truck...

After about a few minutes, Zhai Da found the so-called No. 273 Happiness Road.

An old residential building that was falling apart, only two floors, the wall was earthy yellow, and the windows were very small and square.

This kind of strange residential building needless to say, must be built by the factory, doing whatever it wants, with a kind of suffocating beauty.

And at this moment, several adult men were squatting at the door smoking, all with crew cuts, and some even had tattoos.

Zhai Da looked from afar and smacked his lips...

The worst situation still happened.

Didn't walk over directly, but bought a pack of Red Su and a bottle of mineral water from the small shop on the side.

Grabbed his hair with mineral water, like a hedgehog.

Both sleeves were rolled up to the roots of his shoulders.

Change a social skin.

Felt like something was still missing, Zhai Da lifted his clothes, revealing his belly with a little fat.

Conditions were limited, otherwise he should wear a chain, but this style was enough now.

If he wasn't a lunatic, he must be a reckless youth mixed in the road.

Zhai Da walked over with a splayed gait.

The suffocating pace attracted the attention of several strong men.

Zhai Da raised his chin to indicate, flicked the bottom of the box with his finger, just happened to have two cigarettes pop out, and threw one directly over.

"Brothers, are you also here to find Lu Benqing?" ===== CHAPTER 37 =====
