018: A Bold Idea

After selling all the playing card inventory left by Sergey, they sold a total of 165 decks of playing cards and earned 990 silver coins. According to the previous share ratio, Joel could get 198 coins, for every 17 coins

It can be exchanged for 1 galleon, which means that Joel received a total of 11 galleons and 11 sickles.

This directly expanded his assets, and now he has a total of 19 Galleons and 7 Nats.

Looking at the extra ten gold coins in his hand, Joel clenched his fists, feeling that his money-making career had officially begun.

One step closer to redeeming the 3500 Galleons for the source of magic power!

He imitated a classic action from a domestic TV series, making a fist with one hand, bending his arm and exerting downward force, "Little Joel, come on!"

"How about we go to the common room and play two more games?" Eddie was eager to try. "There must be a lot of people playing Landlords there now."

"We got started before them, and our card skills are also better, so we can go there and show off." Eddie was still young after all, so he would inevitably feel a little embarrassed when encountering this kind of thing.

Now they don't sell poker cards. Sergey ran to the library again when he had nothing to do. No one was there early on Sunday morning, and there were only three of them left in the dormitory.

Allen hesitated for a moment, then closed the opened "Advanced Potion Making" and said, "Joel, are you going?"

Joel shrugged. He had just made a lot of money and was in a good mood. "No problem."

The three of them arrived at the common room, where there were indeed many students sitting on the sofa playing poker. Some of them even took the initiative to say hello when they saw Eddie.

Eddie responded with a smile, but his young body had the air of a successful man calmly waving to everyone, which looked quite funny.

Apparently this week he ran around selling playing cards and met many senior students.

There happened to be a table in the center of the common room, and the three of them quickly occupied a table.

Allen was a little absent-minded today, and Joel was also thinking about his future money-making plan. Neither of them paid attention to the card games, allowing Eddie to win several games in a row.

Looking at his swollen appearance, his face turned red and he beat his chest with his hands, and he made one or two strange screams from time to time. His image resembled that of Caesar, the chimpanzee in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".

Eddie suddenly saw a figure walking out of the girls' dormitory area, holding a stack of books in his hand and walking out.

"Hailes!" he called.

The long, straight black girl froze immediately. Eddie put down his cards and ran over to pull Haylis's arm.

Haylis lowered her head and said something as always. After a while, Eddie came back with a bright smile, followed by Haylis.

"Today I want you to see my strength!" Eddie was still worried about Haylis' good luck that day. He had just won several games in a row, and now he was completely crazy, insisting on proving his ability in Landlord.

.

Among the four people in the dormitory, Eddie is not a shrewd one. It can be said that in the first week of school, he has been suppressed from all aspects by his three roommates. He is already depressed. He just made a lot of money in the past two days and can't wait to get out.

se.

Eddie is an unstable person.

Joel didn't like this aspect of him very much. He felt that Eddie didn't correctly understand his own shining points.

Seeing this, Allen quickly said, "Then you guys play first, I'm going back to the dormitory to read."

He was still thinking about the book "Advanced Potion Making".

Joel just wanted to resign first, but he was overtaken by Alan, so he had to continue to sit down and act as Eddie's tool in the game.

Haylis also had her own things to be busy with, but she was too embarrassed to refuse Eddie, so she had to play with him.

She wanted to get rid of Eddie's entanglement as soon as possible, but there was still a lot of things to do today.

She put the pile of books she was holding on the sofa and started grabbing cards.



"bomb."

"bomb."

"Wang Zha."

Shaking all the cards in her hand, Haylis lightly stamped her foot, "Can I go? I still have a lot of things to do."

This plot has been repeated for three games, and Joel and Eddie have become a little numb.

"I...I don't believe it!" Eddie blushed, stacked the cards together with trembling hands, and then shuffled them around frantically.

"I'll deal the cards!" He didn't believe that Haylis had such good luck every time, she must have cheated!

Using some kind of magic that they didn't know about, they changed all the cards in their hand for the most perfect result!

Eddie stared at the cards in his hand and dealt them to the three people one by one, leaving the last three cards.

Joel looked a little helpless. He knew that Eddie was simply out of his mind. He had just learned about what happened to Haylis before. This girl's luck... was indeed a bit strange.

The good ones are a bit overwhelming.

Hailis picked up the card and took a look at it, and Joel also looked over, finally being able to see Hailis's face completely and clearly.

This girl's appearance is not considered to be extremely beautiful, but her delicate facial features, long black straight hair, and black academic robe are very much in line with Joel's aesthetics.

"...Call the landlord." Eddie glanced at the cards in his hand and said.

"No." Joel glanced at the cards and gave up the game.

"No grabbing." Haylis whispered.

Eddie closed his eyes, grabbed the three cards on the deck, and slammed them on the table.

Suppressing his nervousness, Eddie slowly opened his eyes, saw the three decks of cards on the table, and sighed, feeling that this game was difficult for him.

Sure enough, Joel seized the opportunity to block Eddie's deck, and then Hailey took over the game and won the game directly with two straights.

Eddie shook his head, "I'm convinced of your luck..."

He cleared up the card game, and Haylis knew that she was finally free. She quickly picked up the pile of books on the sofa and left the common room.

Joel looked at Haylis' thin figure walking away with small steps, and a bold idea came to his mind.

"She is so lucky. I will definitely beat her in the last round... She doesn't even count cards, so why isn't she afraid of my bomb?" Eddie was still mumbling something.

The consecutive defeats just now were like a bucket of cold water poured down on him, which sobered up his bloated heart.

He didn't say anything, packed up the playing cards, and left the common room.

Joel sat on the sofa, biting his lower lip with his upper teeth.

He felt that he had some hope of competing for Professor Flitwick's 200 Galleons.

It's just that whether this hope is big or small doesn't depend on him.

Joel returned to the dormitory to pack his things and planned to go to the library to create a chance encounter.

Allen was sitting at the table reading a book, while Eddie rolled himself into the quilt and muffled himself under the pillow without talking.

"What's wrong with him?" Allen mouthed and pointed at Eddie lying on the bed.

Joel shook his head, did not answer Allen's question, picked up two spell books and a quill on the desk, and left the dormitory.

He has a grand plan to carry out.
