Chapter 91 The current atmosphere must be rectified!
Once the credits are issued tomorrow, you can ask for leave.
In the afternoon, Lu Qi also received a notification.
Teacher Morse probably won't come to school tomorrow due to temporary commitments.
Today's homework content has almost caught up with the amount of the weekend, and now I have received the news that Morse will not be back tomorrow, which can't help but give Lu Qi a new idea.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t write any homework.
Anyway, Morse won't come tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow is a weekend holiday, so the homework will be over by Monday.
At the same moment, Miss Crown Guard thought the same thing.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile at each other.
After school.
Lu Qi walked on the street and looked around in the shops.
Because these days, I have been consuming a lot of food at home, so I have to buy some more.
But also to prepare a new drink for the evening, which requires the use of some herbs.
Along the way, when he encountered something he wanted to buy, Lu Qi bought it directly.
He has no shortage of money recently. Although he invested a lot of money in the printing press, he made a lot of money back through the ice cream sold among the people.
After almost selecting, Lu Qi and Yourna carried it back home.
When we came back, it was only about six o'clock in the afternoon. It was dark late in the summer, but the sky was still blue at this time.
As soon as Lu Qi entered the courtyard, he saw Lux lying on the rocking chair, blowing the wind leisurely, and there was ice cream on the table next to her. She felt very uncomfortable.
When he saw Lu Qi coming back, he just lazily opened his eyes and took a look, then continued to close them.
Lu Qi couldn't tell for a moment whether this was his home or hers.
At this time he heard another sound coming from the backyard.
I couldn't help but go over and take a look, and then I saw Fiona slashing the training dummy opposite with her sword.
He couldn't help but said: "Did you move this thing here?"
Fiona stopped what she was doing and said, "Yes."
"It's a ghost. Isn't this my backyard?"
Lu Qi was speechless for a moment.
He found that these two people were getting more and more skilled at entering his house.
After exiting the backyard, he saw Lux lying there again.
In silence, Lu Qi walked towards the kitchen. After being busy for a while, he suddenly stopped.
Looking at his hands washing vegetables, he finally noticed something was wrong.
I was almost led astray by their natural behavior.
I am a prince!
Why is this like a valet now?
No, the current atmosphere must be rectified, and a way must be found to punish them both.
So he started thinking while he was busy.
After a while.
Watching Lu Qi take out four things wrapped in lotus leaves, and then started digging a hole in the yard with a shovel.
Lux, who was lying on the rocking chair, felt a little curious.
"What are you doing?"
"Dinner."
"You want us to eat dirt tonight?"
Lux was stunned.
Lu Qi glanced at her speechlessly: "If you really want to eat, you can."
Lux stopped talking and watched as Lu Qi dug out the soil with a shovel and then wrapped it in four lotus leaf bags. When the cover was completely invisible, it turned into four clods of soil.
He lit a fire in the courtyard and threw the four clods into the fire.
Then Lu Qi ordered Yuerna: "Watch, don't let the fire go out."
"Yes." After hearing this, Yourna stood in front of the fire.
Lu Qi wiped his sweat, found a chair and sat at the table next to the rocking chair.
Lux then asked again: "How long will it take to wait for this?"
Lu Qi replied: "Two hours."
"oh."
Hearing this, Lux continued to close her eyes and prepared to take a nap.
However, not long after, she heard another sound coming from the side.
Turning around, he saw that Lu Qi was holding a wooden board in his hand, carving it with a small blade.
Suddenly he asked curiously: "What are you doing again?"
Lu Qi replied casually: "Chessboard."
"What chessboard? Military chess?" Lux became interested, got up from the rocking chair, walked over and looked up.
The flag is a game popular in Demacia, similar to chess.
After looking at it for a few times, Lux found that it didn't seem to be a military chess game, because the gaps between the grids were not that big, the lines were also close together, and there were too many grids to count.
At this time, Lu Qi had basically carved it, put it on the table and said with a smile: "Backgammon."
"Backgammon?"
"The rule is that both sides hold chess pieces of one color. Each player takes one step. The chess pieces can only land at the intersection of the lines. No matter whether it is horizontal or vertical, as long as the five chess pieces can be connected together, it will be considered a victory."
Lu Qi briefly explained the rules.
The rules of backgammon are the few things that require the least intelligence to understand.
Lux understood it almost instantly after listening to it. She glanced at the chessboard and thought to herself, it seemed that it was not difficult at all.
Then Lu Qi took out the black and white chess pieces that he had picked out early that day while shopping.
Lux suddenly said after seeing it: "So that's why you bought these that day?"
"Otherwise, do you think I'm wasting money?"
After Lu Qi separated the chess pieces of the two colors, he asked, "How about it? Do you want two games?"
Hearing this, Lux smiled confidently: "Come on, but this is too simple."
"In that case, how about adding some punishment?"
Seeing her confident look, Lu Qi also smiled.
Lux was naturally not afraid of this, and immediately nodded and said: "What punishment?"
Lu Qi took out a pen and said, "One stroke at a time, draw whatever you want."
Seeing this, Lux couldn't help but think of the little turtle that day, and couldn't help but feel a little scared. After thinking about it, she said: "Then let me try a plate first."
"good."
Lu Qi smiled and said casually, "You first."
Lux picked up a white letter and landed it directly in the middle of the chessboard.
The rules of backgammon are really simple, it just depends on who can connect in a line first.
In the first set, the two of them were playing back and forth, and it could be said that they were chasing each other.
The final result was that Luqi became five in a row because of Lux's carelessness.
Although she lost, Miss Crown Guard felt a lot of confidence in her heart.
"I think it's time to start punishing me!"
She raised her head confidently, and her twinkling eyes seemed to have already thought about what to draw on Lu Qi's face.
So, the second set began.
This time, Lux's chess-playing speed has improved substantially. Almost without thinking, she immediately followed Lu Qi as soon as he made a move.
Then just a dozen moves later, her raised hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Lux stared blankly at the black chess pieces on the chessboard, which were connected into three pieces on both sides, and realized that she seemed to have lost.
Seeing her expression, Lu Qi smiled and said, "Do you want me to continue?"
"I was careless in this game. I am willing to admit defeat. You can draw it!"
Lux simply closed her eyes and brought her face closer.
Lu Qi didn't hesitate, opened the cap of the pen, and made a stroke directly on her forehead.
Lacus, who didn't know what was on her face, was very dissatisfied: "Come again!"
After a while, Fiona, who was about to take a break, came to the front yard.
Immediately, she saw Lux and Lu Qi sitting in the courtyard, with a table between them, and they seemed to be confronting each other.
Seeing this scene, a bit of curiosity appeared in her eyes. When she took two steps forward and saw Miss Crown Guard raising her head, she was also startled.
I saw that the usually cute little face now has a turtle painted on the left, a turtle on the right, multiple tiger king characters on the forehead, and two beards on both sides of the mouth. It looks funny and a bit funny. .
"What are you doing?"
She stepped forward and asked.
Lu Qi maintained a casual posture at this time, holding a black stone in his hand. He was not in a hurry to drop it, and replied easily: "Play backgammon."
On the opposite side, Lux had no time to answer. She lowered her head and looked at the chessboard with disbelief in her eyes.
It seems that he can't believe that he is about to face another failure.
"How is it possible? When did this side become connected?"
Her face at this time had long lost the previous confidence.
After several consecutive games, my self-confidence has already been hit hard.
Fiona looked at the chessboard, which held black and white chess pieces. Lux seemed to be the white chess piece.
"When the chess pieces are played like this, if the five pieces are connected together, it is considered a victory."
Lu Qi said, placing the last move, ending the game.
When Fiona heard the rules, her first thought was, isn't this a little too simple?
At this time, Lu Qi picked up the pen and looked at Lux's face opposite, not knowing where to make another stroke.
After thinking about it, he put the pen on Lux's nose and painted it to make it look like a raccoon's nose.
After taking the pen back, Lux rubbed her nose uncomfortably and said in disbelief: "Come again!"
Fiona showed an interested look, moved a chair, sat down next to it, and started watching.
Soon it was two sets later.
"Miss Crown Guard, are you coming again?"
Lu Qi looked at the confused Lux across from him and asked unhurriedly.
As for Lux, her heart was already in chaos at this time, and she murmured to herself: "It's obviously just five chess pieces connected together, why can't we win?"
She remembered that she was still able to fight with Lu Qi at the beginning, but how come it became increasingly difficult for her to fight later?
"Because you haven't discovered the mystery yet."
Fiona was standing by at this time and said lightly.
Lu Qi glanced at her and saw extraordinary confidence on Miss Sword Girl's face.
And Lux also hurriedly asked: "What mystery?"
"Let me play two games and you will know."
Fiona stood up, the corners of her mouth raised, and her expression was arrogant.
It was just a simple game. After just two games, she discovered the secrets that Lux had never discovered in a game like this.
"Say it first, but there will be punishment."
In order to prevent him from denying his account, Lu Qi reminded him too much.
"I know."
Fiona sat in the position where Lux stood up and moved out of the way, grabbed a white stone, and said calmly: "Come on."
So, after a few games.
Fiona raised her hand in the air, not knowing where to place the chess piece.
And her face had already been painted with one stroke on the left and one stroke on the right. At this moment, her usually white, cold and arrogant face became a bit more funny.
Lux couldn't help but ask: "Is this the mystery you discovered?"
"I lost."
Fiona simply failed to move the chess piece and chose to admit defeat.
Because she had seen that no matter where she landed, she could not stop Lu Qi from winning.
It was strange to say that she clearly felt that she had understood how to play backgammon.
At the beginning, I even felt that I was evenly matched with Lu Qi and thought about how to win.
But in the next few games, she felt more and more wrong. Every time she went to the back, winning was no longer the goal, but preventing Lu Qi from winning was the goal.
But often at times like this, she is not far from losing.
"Miss Sword Princess, which animal's nose do you think is suitable for you?"
Lu Qi picked up the pen and asked with a chuckle.
Fiona simply closed her eyes, raised her face, and said coldly: "If you want to paint, just paint!"
Lu Qi likes to deal with such cold beauties and directly draws another brush stroke on her nose.
After the stroke was completed, Fiona opened her eyes, her cold and arrogant eyes full of dissatisfaction: "Come again!"
Then a few more games later.
Fiona's delicate body trembled slightly, her eyes looking at the chessboard incomprehensibly: "How could that be?"
At this time, she felt the same confusion as Lux had before.
It's obviously just connecting five chess pieces together, so why can't we win?
Lux stood aside, looking at Fiona's face and Lu Qi's writing, and her heart suddenly felt much more balanced.
It turned out that she was not the only one who was crushed.
She almost thought it was because she was not intelligent enough, but now she saw that Fiona was the same, so it was no problem.
Now we can conclude that it is not that she is stupid, but that there is definitely more to this backgammon than what it seems on the surface.
Lu Qi made a faint move at this time, ending the last game.
Looking at Fiona's blank expression across from her and her own masterpiece on her cold and arrogant face, I felt like laughing in my heart.
Backgammon seems to have simple rules, but in fact there are so many ways to play it.
If it were that simple, Gobang would not have been popular in the previous world, from ancient times to modern times.
As a senior backgammon player, Lu Qi didn't even need 50% of his ability to deal with these two novices.
It only takes 30% to win.
He picked up the pen and sketched Miss Jian Ji's face again.
Immediately, Fiona gritted her teeth: "Come again!"
Anyway, my face has been painted with so many strokes, now I am not afraid of these few strokes.
What she wants now is to gain experience from losing.
"It's getting late, let's prepare dinner."
In response, Lu Qi stood up, shook his head, and was not ready to play anymore.
The faces of these two people were almost covered with his paintings. If he continued to paint them, he might just paint them all black.
Fiona reluctantly lowered her gaze to the chessboard and clenched her fists, thinking that she must regain her position tomorrow.
Lux touched her belly and asked, "Speaking of which, what's for dinner today?"
Lu Qi replied: "Beggars chicken."
This attracted Fiona's attention, and it was a name she had never heard before.
She saw Lu Qi squatting in front of the fire over there, so she got up and walked over.
The same goes for Lux.
The three people squatted around the fire and looked at the flickering flames. No one spoke for a while.
Lu Qi glanced at Lux's face, and then at Fiona's face, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
This immediately attracted the glares of the two women.
This did not prevent Lu Qi from being in a very good mood today.
