When Natsuki walked out of the bathroom, Yamamoto Ryoko had already placed the map on the coffee table, next to a stack of random event cards and a stack of Monopoly banknotes. She sat cross-legged on the tatami. She waved to Natsuki
He waved his hand.
"Xia Zhijun, hurry up, hurry up." He looked very interested.
Shiraishi Rika was sitting on the side next to her, with a gleam of interest in her eyes. She was probably brainwashed by Ryoko Yamamoto in just a few minutes. Natsuki walked over and placed a
Taking her cup and the box containing Monopoly, Xia Zhi walked directly to the opposite side of her and sat down.
For some reason, Ryoko showed a smile as if her conspiracy had succeeded. After a while, Shiraishi Rika turned her head and glared at her. Natsuki, who had no idea what the girls from the island country were thinking, had given up trying to understand their thoughts.
way.
Although it is called Monopoly, strictly speaking, this board game should be said to be an adventure game. It lacks the core part of buying and selling real estate in Monopoly, and instead occupies most of the random event positions on the map. Xia Zhi subconsciously
I took a quick look at the random event card pile and saw that it was probably as thick as a set of five-player Three Kingdoms.
The classic Tian-shaped map has many special event grids, which can be said to be quite large with three players. Judging from the five player symbols placed next to the box, Xia Zhi’s idea was not wrong.
"So, what are the rules?"
"There are no special rules. I will start one round at a time, and at the end the points will be calculated according to the situation. There is no punishment game, because Lihua will definitely be angry." Ryoko Yamamoto spread her hands helplessly.
"It's best not." Xia Zhi picked up his coffee cup.
"Well, here we go! Hey!"
Yamamoto Ryoko threw out the two dice in his hand, flicked them twice on the map, and finally gave a two and a three, moving forward five spaces. One, two, three, four, five...
"Event grid... You went to the back of the school to look for treasures. You were discovered by your parents while preparing equipment. You were detained for three days and stayed at the starting point for three rounds. Nani!?"
Yamamoto Ryoko had a look on her face, and Xia Zhi was shocked when she looked on.
"In the first round... what did you do that was so outrageous?"
"How do I know? I have always been a good kid who likes to help others."
She moved the chess pieces back to the starting point dejectedly, and then signaled the snickering Rika Shiraishi to take the next step.
Shiraishi Rika picked up the dice, threw it on the map, and moved forward seven grids. It was also the time grid. She picked up the card on the top of the deck and read it out softly.
"I met a stray dog running around in the back mountain. I was chased and retreated two spaces. Well... here's another picture. I sprained my foot while walking and stayed there for two rounds..." Rika Shiraishi looked embarrassed, while Ryoko Yamamoto teased her.
She said: "Lihua, your luck doesn't seem to be that good either."
"It's just a small defeat."
Xia Zhi picked up the dice and threw it out. There were eight grids, fixed event grids, and he picked up a thousand yen that fell in the grass. Xia Zhi took the thousand yen without politeness, and then looked blank
Feng Qingyun calmly picked up the dice again. Yamamoto Ryoko stopped three times, Shiraishi Rika stopped twice, and Natsuki could throw it twice.
Just throw it away, three grids, random events.
"Stay indulging in fishing by the river for two rounds...hiss..." Xia Zhi stared at the malicious card with wide eyes, and Yamamoto Ryoko beside him burst out laughing.
"If you calculate it that way, it should be me." Shiraishi Lihua picked up the dice again and threw out a five-square, random event. "I found a resting place during the march, which increased my chance of action." Lihua said again.
Once I picked up the dice, I suddenly thought of something: "It feels so real..."
Throw out four squares, random events - "I was obsessed with the beautiful scenery, and I got lost without knowing it. I stayed there for two rounds... It really gave me a sense of déjà vu."
Yamamoto Ryoko laughed again. Then...who is next? Xia Zhi thought for a while, counted on the table with his hands and found that it was Yamamoto Ryoko again, and then urged her to throw the dice quickly.
A ten was thrown out, and he walked over, a random event grid.
"The speed of advancement is so fast that it consumes too much physical strength and stays for one round..." Ryoko Yamamoto was stunned.
"Did you put all the bad cards on it?" Xia Zhi expressed doubts.
"Then will I still cheat myself?" Liangzi refuted this baseless accusation.
Then I went to Xiazhi, five squares, encountered a snake, retreated three squares, fixed the event square, saw a rare beetle, got lost in the process of catching it, and stayed for one round.
"No way..." Ryoko Yamamoto sighed on behalf of Natsuki.
Then we arrived at Liangzi, the seventh square, the random event square, and was chased by a bear. After advancing three squares, the random event square, we stepped into a puddle, unable to extricate ourselves, and stayed there for one round.
"Wait a minute, my memory is a little messed up...Who should come next?" Xia Zhi covered his head, "There are too many stop cards."
"It should be your turn, right?" Ryoko Yamamoto said uncertainly.
"It's time for Xia Zhijun." Shiraishi Lihua gave the exact answer.
Next, the game continued with several steps of throwing dice and recalling how many turns it took to calculate who should act. Half an hour later, Xia Zhi found that they had completed more than half of the map.
"Who did such a heartbreaking thing?" Xia Zhi held the coffee cup in his hand, watching himself being stopped for two more rounds, and then suddenly felt the intention to kill.
Yamamoto Ryoko was shuffling the cards aside, and the random event deck had been drained once. Among them, there were five positive events, ten normal events, and the remaining forty-five were all stay punishment events with varying patterns...
"I will never buy board games produced by this manufacturer again..." she gritted her teeth.
"This is the first time I'm so tired from playing this kind of game..." Shiraishi Rika said with a sigh.
"Do you want to continue?" Xia Zhi asked.
"Go on, you have to start and finish everything." She spoke in the style of Shiraishi Reika.
"Then let's continue..."
In the second half of the game, the game becomes even slower due to skilled calculations...it always moves forward and backward in a three-step cycle. The brain is already very tired, and there is no interesting feeling at all.
Finally, when it was almost 12 noon, the game was over.
"Death to this rubbish game!" Ryoko Yamamoto angrily picked up the map, crumpled it into a ball, stuffed it into the box, and walked to the trash can along with some other things.
Xia Zhi picked up the cup and took a sip, only to find that the coffee in the cup was gone. Baishi Lihua looked as if she was dying.
"Eh? What is this?"
Yamamoto Ryoko's doubtful voice came from behind. Xia Zhi turned around and found that she was staring into the trash can. What was in it?...Haha, Xia Zhi's mouth twitched.
"Is this wine?" Ryoko Yamamoto looked up at Xia Zhi in surprise, "Is Xia Zhi-kun drinking?"
"Well, occasionally." Xia Zhi lives alone. This fact is basically known to everyone. There is no good excuse that can be found, so he can only admit it openly.
"Hey, does Xia Zhijun drink? Minors shouldn't be allowed to drink, right?" Shiraishi Lihua looked at Xia Zhi from the side.
"The situation is slightly different from Japan..." Xia Zhi clasped his hands together and lowered his head to Shiraishi Rika, "Please, please keep it a secret for me! I'll treat you to something delicious later!"
"Drinking is wrong..." Shiraishi Reika sat upright and was about to persuade her classmates who were on the road of no return. Although it was rude, it was nothing compared to the other person's future.
"Hey, Natsu Chi-kun, are there any more? Can I drink?" Ryoko Yamamoto, who was standing at the back, betrayed her friend in an instant.
"Ryoko!" Shiraishi Lihua looked at her dumbfounded.
"No, minors are not allowed to drink." Xia Zhi refused without hesitation. She is an international student from China and is a bit special. It should be okay to drink a little. But the girl who was born and raised in the island country is different. Give her
Drinking alcohol is illegal.
"Xia Zhijun, do you have the right to say this?" Yamamoto Ryoko was shocked.
"It may not matter to me, but it's illegal for you to drink."
"How shameless!" Ryoko Yamamoto pointed at Natsuki. This was the first time she had seen such a shameless person.
"It's not a big problem for Xia Zhijun..." Shiraishi Lihua no longer knew how to persuade him to return from his lost path. It was all the fault of a traitor who interrupted on the way.
"If you drink juice, I can treat you to a drink."
"How stingy, Natsuhi-kun." Ryoko Yamamoto looked at Natsuhi with disdain, "You are already a drinking adult, but you still treat us to drink juice."
"The formula that drinking alcohol equals being an adult doesn't hold true. If you don't drink juice, there are still tea and coffee. What do you want?"
"I'd better drink juice." Ryoko Yamamoto threw the box into the trash can, covered the can, and walked back to the coffee table.
Xia Zhi stood up, picked up their cups, and walked towards the kitchen.
"Speaking of which, where does Xia Zhijun work? You seem to have never told me."
"Me, I'm in the opposite direction to the school. I'll be there in about ten minutes. I'll go over and help you later. There are quite a lot of people in the store on weekends."
"Then let's go there together later. Go to a coffee shop to kill some time, and then go directly to the concert in the evening." Ryoko Yamamoto suggested, but Xia Zhi always felt that she had already planned everything.
"Okay, okay, but where are you going to have dinner?" Xia Zhi came over with the juice, put it on the table, looked at the time, and it was almost time to prepare lunch.
"Just find a restaurant nearby for dinner. Lihua and I are not picky eaters. As long as it's a little clean, it'll be fine."
"Then I have a good place to go." Xia Zhi immediately thought of the food cooked by the store manager. Although there is a certain gap compared with the five-star chef, it is better than nearby restaurants and the like.
A lot, which is one of the reasons why its passenger flow increases on weekends.
"Oh, I'll leave it to you!"
Xia Zhi walked back to the kitchen and put on an apron. He originally planned to make something to eat at noon today, but now there are two more people, one of whom is the eldest daughter of a wealthy family who has been fed by the five-star chef since childhood.
, although I am not picky about food, it will not work if I just deal with it casually.
"Is there anything you want to eat?"
He turned to look at the two girls.
"Ah, I'll just do whatever I want." Shiraishi Rika replied politely as before.
"I want to eat the golden smile and the four-shen seafood eight-treasure buns." This was the answer of Ryoko Yamamoto, who should pay attention to etiquette.
"Do you think I am Master Xie or Logan? It's a shame that you can use such an old joke. I almost forgot about it."
"A little bit."
"Ryoko, please pay attention to your etiquette."
"Hi~"
Xia Zhi decided to ignore her and think about what he should do.
