I Just Won't Play By The Book Chapter 79

“You met a group of demonic cult bandits and were robbed of 1 tael of silver… Ah!? How come! My Chain Fairy is very powerful, she can definitely beat them!”

After reading the description of the event on the ( experience card ) , Shi Fenglan was furious.

“This is the rule. How can you gamble if you don't follow the rules?” Jiang Beiran said as he expressionlessly prepared to take away a piece of blue paper in front of Shi Fenglan, but he was grabbed by her.

“Ugh… can't you take a little less?” Shi Fenglan said as she stared at Jiang Beiran with her big watery eyes.

“No, let go. Do you still want to gamble or not?”

“Okay…” Shi Fenglan let go of Jiang Beiran's hand with a sad face. Then, she hit the back of her right hand with her left hand and said, “I told you to roll a four! But you rolled a two! Stinky hand!”

“It's your turn.” Jiang Beiran said to Xiao Duo.

Rubbing her small hands, Xiao Duo carefully rolled the dice in her hand.

“One.”

Seeing the dice slowly stop on the side of the red dot, Xiao Duo picked up Little Flying Hero and moved one square forward on the board filled with landscape paintings.

“World of martial arts incident.”

As she said this, Xiao Duo took the card at the top of the stack of cards next to the “gambling table”.

“You have been named the Mighty Hero of the Year. You received two taels of silver and a Phoenix Feather Sword… Wow, the reward is so good.” Xiao Duo shouted excitedly.

“Here, this is your Phoenix Feather Sword.” Jiang Beiran took out a card from the tool card and handed it to Xiao Duo.

“Thank you, Brother Jiang.” Xiao Duo called out sweetly. She took the card and read it out softly, “It can kill people from the demonic cult on the way.”

“Ah!” Shi Fenglan slammed the table and looked at the card in Xiao Duo's hand with envy.

Feeling Shi Feng Lan's longing gaze, Xiao Duo handed the card to Shi Feng Lan and said, “If Order Master likes it, then I'll give it to you.”

“Really!?” Shi Feng Lan's face was filled with joy.

Jiang Beiran looked at it and coughed lightly, “Cough! Pay attention to the rules, don't give it away.”

“I'm just joking, I don't need such a tool to beat you guys. Hurry up, Little Beiran, it's your turn.”

Jiang Beiran nodded and threw the dice. At five o'clock, Yu Manwen walked briskly back to the Mirror Garden. However, as she was walking towards the Tinglan Waterside Pavilion, an idea suddenly popped up in her mind.

“Since when did I go to Order Master's Place instead to my own house after work?' In the past, although Yu Manwen was also an inspector, she would only occasionally go to Shi Fenglan's place to check up on her. However, recently, the Tinglan Waterside Pavilion had become her home.

“I guess it's because I have to worry about more people.”

After explaining in her heart, Yu Manwen arrived at the Tinglan Waterside Pavilion and heard the familiar noise of the Order Master.

“Little Beiran, this is my last three silvers. Just let me owe you one. I beg you!”

“Eh? Why did they gamble with money?” Yu Manwen frowned and walked into the main hall.

“Greetings, Law Protector Yu.” Seeing Yu Manwen enter, Jiang Beiran, who was sitting at the front door, stood up and bowed.

Looking at the huge landscape board on the table, Yu Manwen asked, “Where did you come up with so many new tricks?” “When I was an iron seal, I had traveled far and wide, so I memorized some interesting gambling games.” “I've already told you several times don't be a bad influence on our Order Master. Why did you ignore my order?”

ser

“I had no choice. You asked me not to teach her new gamble games, but Order Master asked me to teach her. Both of you are high-ranking officials, so it's hard for me to be in the middle.”

When Shi Fenglan heard that Jiang Beiran “blamed” her, she quickly stood up and explained to Yu Manwen, “I didn't ask Little Beiran to teach me how to gamble. It's… It's… It's Xiao Duo who asked me to.”

“Huh?” Xiao Duo, who was calculating how much money she had left, was stunned. Just as she was about to accept the big and round black pot, she saw Yu Manwen frown and say, “Huh?”

“Okay… It's me, it's me.” Shi Fenglan lowered her head and admitted.

Sighing helplessly, Yu Manwen walked to the table and looked at the majestic game board. She asked Jiang Beiran, “What kind of gambling game is this?”.

“The advanced version of the Chivalrous Hero. You can call it Wandering the World.”

“You really know how to name it.” Chuckling softly in her heart, Yu Manwen asked again, “I just heard outside that our Order Master owes you money?” “Oh, it's this.” Jiang Beiran picked up a piece of paper with the words ( one tael of silver ] written on it and handed it to Yu Manwen. “A few days ago, I heard that Order Master Shi needed one tael of silver for a plate of beef, so I thought of this method to teach her some concept of money.” However, it was precisely because Jiang Beiran knew that Shi Fenglan was so lacking in common sense that he became even more certain of his previous guess, which was that Shi Fenglan had become the Order Master of Water Mirror out of nowhere.

Even if she were the eldest daughter of a certain family before joining the sect, she would still gain some life experiences after going down the mountain to train a few times, just like Fang Qiuyao and the others.

However, Shi Fenglan had already become the Order Master, yet she still lacked the common sense of the world, which meant that she definitely did not climb up to her position step by step. “I heard that the Mister Storyteller said so. In those stories, the mighty hero would bid a tael of silver to settle the bill after eating beef in the shop.” After saying that, she immediately added, “But now I know that it's not like that. Manwen, look, gambling can also learn things.”

“No matter how extravagant you say it is, gambling is gambling. Don't play for too long.”

“Yes, I understand.”

After agreeing, Shi Fenglan turned around and continued to beg Jiang Beiran, “Beiran, just let me owe you. I'll return you the money once I go to the pawnshop and sell my jade bracelet.”

“No.” Jiang Beiran still shook his head. “Humph, stingy! I'll just give it to you!” Shi Fenglan said as she handed the last three big bills to Jiang Beiran.

“Jade bracelet? Pawnshop?” Yu Manwen, who was watching from the side, suddenly became curious.

Seeing Yu Manwen leave, Shi Fenglan immediately revealed a sly smile.

In fact, when they were playing Chivalrous Heroes yesterday, Shi Fenglan had noticed that Yu Manwen was quite interested with the game. Yu Manwen would glance at them from time to time, she actually wanted to try it. However, she held herself back because of her position as a supervisor

“Hmm… no wonder so many people like to gamble. It's really interesting.” They played until dinner time, and Shi Fenglan, who eventually overcame Xiao Duo and won the second place, was dancing with joy. Then, just as Jiang Beiran put away the “betting plate” and was about to leave, Shi Fenglan suddenly shouted, “Wait, this is for you.”

Jiang Beiran looked up and saw Shi Fenglan taking out a wooden box from under the table.

“This is…?”

“The defensive magical item that I promised you. Come and take a look. Are you satisfied?”

“Thank you, Order Master.”

After thanking her, Jiang Beiran went forward and opened the box. He found that there was a purplish-gold feather coat inside.

At the same time, two options appeared in front of his eyes.

[ Option 1: “It's too valuable. I can't accept it.” Reward for completion: Hundred Feet Finger (yellow grade high tier)]

[ Option 2: “What kind of magical item is this?” Reward for completion: Random basic skill points + 1]
