Collapse of Iron: The Immortal Boat Life of the Envoy of the Order of Fertility

“…Is it still like this?”

Qingqing and Jingliu have a lot of free time and plenty of time to play cards. As long as they feel like it, they can sit at the card table for the whole day.

Then, Lu Qing achieved a record of twenty-three losses and three wins... He won those three games because Jing Liu was not very familiar with the rules at the beginning. Under Lu Qing's shameless trickery, he gave away three games that he could have won easily.

"I didn't expect that you are not so good at this..." This was the best mood that Jingliu had been in since he met Lu Qing. All the previous frustrations were won back from the Qiong Yu card.

After all, Lu Qing really cares about winning or losing in Qiong Yu cards. Every time she wins, Lu Qing always looks desperate and doubts about life.

"My luck is very good, but it's not the same with the Qiong Yu cards... I can't draw any of the cards I need." Banging his head on the table, Qing explained in self-deprecation, "I don't understand, I really don't understand! Aha clearly didn't mess with me in this regard!"

Lu Qing scratched his head. He thought of the Star God of Balance. Could there really be some law of conservation of luck in this world? All his luck debts were being repaid playing cards.

"Aha?"

"Joyful Star God, you should know."

"I knew, but I never imagined you'd even met a Star God, a joyful one at that."

"Oh, I've met with many Star Gods, it's no big deal..."

"..." Jingliu was silent, then shook his head. The gap between people was obvious. Things that were out of reach for ordinary people might not be a big deal in the eyes of Luqing.

"Forget it, let's not talk about Star God anymore... Do you think this Qiongyu card is fun?"

"It's fun, I like it very much." Of course it was fun. How could she not like this rare opportunity to step on Lu Qing's head? I didn't expect that after not returning to Luofu for so long, the Qiongyu card had been improved into such an interesting style.

"You don't like playing cards, you just like to laugh at me..."

"It's good to know."

"Tsk..."

"Do you want to continue playing?" Jingliu supported his chin with one hand. Because he was in a particularly good mood, his expression softened a lot, and there was even a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing Lu Qing's defeated look, she felt a sense of pleasure as if she had gotten revenge. If there weren't so many people in Chang Le Heaven, she might have burst into laughter on the spot... This feeling was much better than tearing the enemy apart.

"Since you're willing, then go ahead. I think I'll definitely win the next one."

"Ha." Jing Liu really couldn't help laughing this time. The guy who had relied on tricks to win three games at the beginning, actually said here with such shamelessness that he would definitely win?

"Just say this to me, don't let yourself be fooled." Jingliu leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and looked very relaxed.

"Let's make a bet. If I win, I'll treat you better from now on. If I lose, be prepared to be pissed off by me."

"You? Still want some face?"

"Then let's reverse the winning and losing conditions. If I lose, I'll treat you better from now on. If I win, you have to listen to me. How about that?"

"No problem, one round to decide the winner." Jingliu didn't know where Qingqing got the confidence to win. He had lost so badly before. Was it all an act? Impossible. The despair in his eyes was not fake.

"Okay, one round to decide." He took the bait.

……

Jingliu lost, and lost miserably. He stared at Rangqing with bloodshot eyes. She didn't believe that there was no trick in this. She had reason to suspect that Rangqing had done something, but he just didn't see it.

"I won, so remember to fulfill the bet and listen to everything I say from now on."

Jing Liu is not a rogue. If she loses, she loses and she has to admit it. Cheating in the gambling game is not cheating as long as it is not discovered. She is not capable enough and cannot vent her anger, so she has to admit it.

"Yeah, but can you tell me how you won?"

"Yes, of course I believe in metaphysics... I thought I told you that, apart from entertainment games that rely on luck, my luck has always been very good. This means that if I make a bet with someone, there's a high probability that I'll be the winner."

"? What does this have to do with the game?"

"You have bad luck playing cards, but I have great luck gambling. When both are true at the same time, they cancel each other out. I've studied Qiong Yu cards for so many years, so my skills are naturally better than yours. As long as the cards aren't dealt too badly, I can win."

Jingliu didn't understand and was shocked.

"You only know how to bully me in this way."

"My pleasure."

"Don't be shameless." The mood that was not there at first was gone, the faint smile on his face disappeared completely, and he returned to that cold look again.

Ryuqing stood up and left the card table. Then he looked at the time and said to Jingliu, "Let's go eat. We skipped lunch because of playing cards. You should be hungry now."

Jingliu nodded silently, it was time to eat something. After standing up, she saw Qing extending his hand to her.

"Lecher!" She cursed, but Jingliu was still unwilling to give in. She reluctantly grabbed the hand that Rangqing was extending to her.

Gradually I got used to it and obeyed.

While the two were having dinner, Lu Qing received a call from Heita, which was about the Mimic Red Moon.

"That's pretty efficient! It's only been about a week, and they've already found the mastermind."

"It's not that we've found the mastermind behind this, it's that we've already solved the problem for you... The faction involved has been completely expelled, and anyone connected to this matter has been killed by the company. Those who authorized the Bozhi Society to use the Mi Tu invention are also dead."

"What's going on? So efficient? I haven't even figured out how to ask for benefits from the Bozhi Society, and it's already been handled?" Lu Qing's tone was a little unfriendly, and the company directly cut off the possibility of him interfering in this matter.

"Perhaps this was an oversight on my part."

"Can a genius from the Black Tower be negligent?"

"I just didn't bother to talk to them anymore, so I told Apoli, the head of the Technology R&D Department, that you were attacked by the company. This was also related to the Polytechnic Institute. I wanted to know who did it, and why it ended up like this."

"That's quite your style... It's my fault for not warning you... Never mind, it's not a big deal. Just because you don't understand these things doesn't mean the company doesn't understand them. What else do they have to say? Simply letting those people "die" isn't enough."

"There is compensation, after all, you're the one who got pissed off... From what I've heard, the heads of various departments have been in meetings these past few days. I heard from Apoli that he's been ridiculed by several of them, saying he doesn't know how to manage his subordinates. He's even at risk of being demoted."

"In a few days, Diamond, who has a good relationship with you, will pass on the company's explanation on this matter to you. If you still have any dissatisfaction by then, you can speak directly to Diamond."

“…the surface work is okay.”
