Merchant of Otherworlds

Chapter 8

Yu Ling clapped his hands; attracting the attention of many guests who were whispering below, he opened the deck of playing cards and introduced them to everyone: "There are 55 such Western cards in total; except one is for production. Except for advertising, the other 54 cards are used for gambling. Among them, all cards except the two kings are divided into four categories, namely: spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs. .Each category has thirteen cards, representing from one to thirteen respectively; these thirteen numbers, and the A that represents 1 in the general gameplay is the largest of the thirteen numbers."

After finishing speaking; seeing the puzzled eyes below, Yu Ling hurriedly said: "Next, I would like to invite a respectable person to come up and check this pair of cards, because; later I will use these 52 cards to perform for everyone, for To avoid people saying I’m cheating, it’s better to ask someone you trust to check it out.”

After hearing my words, many guests look at me; I look at you. If you want a person who everyone trusts that he will not cheat, then the first point is to have a good family background; not for profit. Fake with performers.However, the problem is that these big figures who are neither rich nor expensive generally look down on entertainers, and it is really not an easy task to get them on stage.

I don't know if it's because of Yuling's luck. If it wasn't for the fact that the young prince of the Prince of Qin's mansion just made a bet with Mr. Liu, maybe there really wouldn't be anyone with a bit of reputation going up today.However, it was precisely because of the bet that he was afraid that if Yu Ling would find someone to act as a fake; in the end, he would perform a good show, so when he saw that no one worthy of his trust came on stage, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk out. I got a private room.

Seeing all kinds of surprised looks from the audience, Mr. Liu could only forced a smile and said, "Everyone, I, Liu Xuewen, is the teacher of the Prince Qin's son. Believe me to check; everyone will not believe me!"

A student who seemed to know Mr. Liu hurriedly replied after hearing Mr. Liu's words: "Of course not; with Mr. Liu's reputation, I would not believe it if you said that you would cheat and beat him to death."

At the same time, an old man on the other side who looked to be quite old also responded: "Mr. Liu Xuewen is a contemporary scholar, how could he deceive everyone with a junior? Just don't worry; I dare to guarantee it with my life; Mr. Liu will never Fake it.”

Seeing the noisy responses all around; Yu Ling knew that finally a person with status was willing to come on stage, so she hurriedly said: "Old gentleman, please come up; you just need to stand by my side and watch me do it, and at the same time help I’ll just check to see if there’s anything wrong with the props, so you can see clearly; everyone below is more at ease.”

Hearing Yu Ling's words, Liu Xuewen couldn't help but thought to himself: "Can I not watch carefully? Since this kid drafted the scene so big, maybe he really has two brushes. It's best to let me catch your tail. At that time; let's see what you and Shizi have to say." Thinking of this, Liu Xuewen really forgot his embarrassment just now, and ran up to the performance stage.

Looking at Liu Xuewen who was on the stage; Yu Ling hurriedly said: "Old gentleman, please help me check if there is any problem with this deck of cards." After speaking, he handed over the poker in his hand.

But he didn't want to; Mr. Liu just looked at the playing cards in his hand and cursed loudly: "Of course there is a problem; how can you do such a thing?" He said it; but for those people below who love to see other people's jokes, They were so excited that many people had already picked up the things in their hands, just waiting for the old Mr. Liu Xuewen to get off the stage and let the rain spirit on it look good.

Yu Ling's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but think: "It's not so evil! The marks on this magic card are so small, even this old boy can see them at once. And people who don't know magic cards shouldn't know that the marks are there. Where! He couldn’t have traveled through time too, right?
It was Yu Ling who was beating drums in his heart; and when the guests below were about to tear down the stage, Mr. Liu said: "Who painted the painting on it; such Xu Rusheng must be the work of everyone. It's fine if you collect other people's paintings. If you don’t love it, you can sell it, how can you use other people’s works for such a purpose, it’s really disrespectful; your behavior is simply smearing the face of us literati.”

After hearing Liu Xuewen's words, Yu Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief; "Fortunately, he didn't find the mark on the card, really; why did I forget that this plane does not have the technology on earth, no wonder people put the machine The people who printed it all thought they were drawn by adults! If I had known better then, I shouldn’t have had poker cards with pictures like this.”

However, even though he avoided his diorama being dismantled by others, facing the accusations of Liu Xuewen and other literati, Yu Ling also began to have a headache.

"Mr., this is not drawn by people. Have you ever seen someone who can draw exactly the same picture? No matter who draws the picture, even if it is the same picture; it is impossible to draw 100% alike Yes. But you can see which of the same pictures in these cards has changed. It is basically printed by a machine. of."

Facing Yu Ling's explanation, although a very few people chose to believe it, the old school scholars headed by Liu Xuewen still retorted forcefully: "Fart! Let alone Liu Xuewen, I have never seen this for decades. The kind of Westerners you are talking about, who knows if the so-called Westerners really exist. Even if the so-called Westerners do exist, it is just what our ancestors have passed down for thousands of years; can they learn how to do it? This is a problem, and how can it be improved? You must know that this is something that countless of our ancestors thought about but failed to do, even those Western barbarians admire it."

Yu Ling looked at these stubborn people who couldn't explain anything in silence, and finally had to say: "Old sir, are you saying that the pictures on these cards were painted by others, right?" Seeing Liu Xuewen and all the scholars nodded, , suddenly waved his hand; everyone's eyes were dazzled, Yu Ling already had two more decks of playing cards in his hand.

After handing the playing cards in his hand to Mr. Liu, Yu Ling said: "Mr., you can check these decks of playing cards. Are there any differences? If not, then Mr. Liu has nothing to say. Right?"

Liu Xuewen snatched the poker cards from Yu Ling's hand, cursing: "I, Liu Xuewen, are not so unreasonable; if these decks of cards are really exactly the same, I will certainly accompany you. But; if If they are different, then it means that these paintings may really be painted by people, then you have to donate these paintings to the court for free, so as not to destroy them in your hands in the future.
