Age of Empires From Scratch

David was sitting near the two cold faces. Although the two men had lowered their voices as much as possible and there were various noises around them, the conversation between the brother and sister still reached David's ears.

"Coincidence? It is indeed a coincidence that I came here, but you will meet Cheng Xiaodong, so I'm afraid it can't be said to be a coincidence."

David did not place bets in these games, but let Sophia and Cheng Leer take turns playing for a while.

The two girls lost more than they won, and the chips David had just won immediately became much smaller.

David noticed that after the chips in front of him became smaller, the dealer became much more polite to him, and even the waiter even took the initiative to bring drinks.

"Oh, this is not interesting. Let's play somewhere else."

Leaving a large chip to give to the dealer as a tip, David got up and took Cheng Leer and Sophia to other tables.

Sometimes he will win, sometimes he will lose.

Because David did not cheat, and several people were just playing randomly, they lost more and won less. After a round of spinning, all the chips David had won previously were returned to the casino, and even the principal was reduced. many.

"Hey, why do you always lose?"

Cheng Leer's luck was very bad today, and he almost never won no matter what he played.

Normally, she wouldn't think too much about it and would just spend money to be happy. But she felt very unhappy losing like this in front of Sophia, and it seemed like she was a bad luck star.

After going around in a circle, David met the 'King' who had helped him win a lot of money again at the blackjack table.

"Seeing you, I have a feeling I can win money."

The other person smiled and nodded, basically saying hello to David, and had no intention of introducing himself. It seemed that he just wanted to be a quiet, handsome man who kept winning money, and had no interest in making friends with anyone.

David didn't take it seriously. After playing a few games of blackjack and winning back the part of the money he had lost, he was ready to leave.

It wasn't too late, so they could go to the theater to watch a show, have a drink and then go back to their room to rest.

It doesn't matter if they don't go. The theater's performance program has been scheduled. Many programs will overlap in the next few days. They can choose the time they are interested in according to the program schedule.

When Cheng Leer found out that Sophia wanted to go to the show, she realized that this was a God-given opportunity. She suddenly said that she might have drunk too much wine and felt a little dizzy. She wanted David to send her back to her room to rest before going to the theater to watch the show with Sophia.

"That's it. David, take care of Leer and go back to rest! I'll go find Xiao Xi and the others." When Cheng Leer wasn't paying attention, he gave David a few winks: Seize the opportunity!

But after David and Cheng Leer disappeared, Sophia was about to go find Cheng Xiaoxi when she suddenly rolled her eyes and turned towards the room.

With brisk steps and humming a tune, he grabbed a glass of champagne and was stopped by Cheng Xiaoxi who suddenly jumped out.

"Sofia, where are you going? Huh? Where are David and Le'er?"

Cheng Xiaoxi's smile was a little stiff and his acting was quite unnatural. His movements of looking around were too big and looked very artificial.

"Le'er seems to have drunk too much, David sent her back to rest." Sofia took a sip of champagne and found that she had found another pleasure: "I originally wanted to go to the theater to watch the show, but after thinking about it, it doesn't matter if I watch the show alone. I mean, I might as well go back and rest."

As for the show, you can watch it in two days. It’s not as fun as watching Cheng Leer and Cheng Xiaoxi’s excitement.

"How about this! I'll accompany you to the show." Cheng Xiaoxi had been watching from a short distance away. When he saw David helping Cheng Leer leave alone, he knew that his best friend was about to take action.

Feeling sick after drinking too much? This kind of words can only deceive people who are not familiar with it.

"Are you coming with me?" Sophia originally considered whether to go to the show with Cheng Xiaoxi on the steps. After the show, she should be able to go back and tease Cheng Leer, who was likely to become dehydrated and paralyzed.

But she thought of a more interesting option: "How about we go see a movie together?"

"OK!"

There are theaters and movie theaters on cruise ships. Compared to live performances and casinos where you can feel the money coming and going, the movie theater is much deserted.

But Cheng Xiaoxi didn't care. As long as he could hold Sophia back from going back to her room, the mission would be completed.

As he walked, Cheng Xiaoxi quickly discovered something was wrong. This road didn't seem to go to the cinema, right? Why does it feel like this is the way back to the suite?

"Is this going to the cinema?"

"It's just a movie. You don't have to go to the cinema. You can just go back to your room and watch it!"

Sophia immediately took a few steps faster, making Cheng Xiaoxi's attempt to hold her in vain.

"No!" Cheng Xiaoxi saw Sophia running away from him quickly, thinking that she had guessed something, so he quickened his pace and followed after her a few steps, trying to make a final effort.

Even though she successfully caught Sophia, she was unable to slow down Sophia's move forward: "Why are you so strong?"

Returning to the door of the suite, there seemed to be some vague sound coming out?

When Sofia opened the door, the sound became clearer.

Cheng Xiaoxi suddenly felt very embarrassed: "Maybe David is watching a movie in the room?"

I thought Sophia would be furious, kick open the door and scold the couple, but the actual reaction was completely different from what Cheng Xiaoxi thought.

Sophia first closed the door gently, then walked to the bedroom door with a fuss, and listened for a while with a very inelegant posture, then turned around and greeted Cheng Xiaoxi: "How long do you think they will be busy?"

Cheng Xiaoxi was speechless, how could she know such a thing? Sofia, you should know better, right?

"Aren't you a doctor?"

"..."

Cheng Xiaoxi wanted to complain, but even a doctor didn't necessarily have to understand these things. And Sophia's reaction was so weird, why was she so calm? Isn't that your boyfriend inside?

She suddenly felt that she had guessed the truth. Perhaps they had all been misled by their initial impressions. When they saw a man and a woman sharing an apartment, they thought they were a couple.

Maybe the two of them don't have that kind of relationship and are just good friends? Or a relative? So Sophia has always had a spectatorial attitude towards the various women who appear around David.

"So that's it! You and David are not a couple at all!"

"We are a couple, and my parents have agreed."

"..."

Cheng Xiaoxi felt that there were cracks in her outlook on life. Her mind was in a mess, and the sounds coming from time to time made her feel on pins and needles.

At the same time, David and Cheng Leer were busy transmitting data. Considering the huge gap between the hardware devices on both sides, David could only reduce the power and slow down the transmission speed. Due to poor adaptability, just installing a new driver would It took a lot of time.

The transmission speed was also very slow at first, and even then the fan kept making noise.

Seeing this situation, David estimated that transmitting 1.3 billion pieces of data would be the limit...

Seeing that Cheng Le'er was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes, David realized that he was a little too excited and accidentally used too much force. While gently caressing Le'er's back, he released holy light to help her recover.

Under David's comfort, Cheng Leer fell asleep with a sweet smile and snored slightly.

Looking at the sleeping Cheng Leer, David gently got up and got off the ground. After casting a cleaning spell, he put on his pajamas and pajamas and walked out of the bedroom.

In the living room, Sophia and Cheng Xiaoxi were watching TV, or a movie video to be precise.

"Are you done? It took longer than I expected. Is Le'er okay?"

"She's already asleep."

The feelings of Lao Gang were vividly reflected. He had never made such a mistake in the past. Taking a bottle of frozen Coke, David paused to add some calories to himself.

"You and Xiaoxi take your time, I have to go out to do something."

"Ah? Aren't you staying with Le'er?" Sophia was eating a bag of potato chips and looked surprised when she heard this.

David has always been very gentle, and will always stay with him until dawn, and will never let him wake up alone in an empty bed, even if he doesn't need to sleep at all.

What happened this time?

"There are some rats on the boat. I don't want them to disturb Le'er."

"Oh~" Sophia understood, it was the wrong place!

In the past, David always established relationships with people in his own Winter City. Winter City was peaceful and stable, so naturally no accidents would happen.

Cheng Leer chose the Fugui Maru charity cruise. In a place like this, any accident is possible.

David seemed to have targeted some people and planned to deal with them in advance to prevent them from ruining his and Cheng Leer's happy time.

"Then go and get busy!"

"Take care of Xiaoxi and don't let her act alone tonight."

"No problem, I will keep an eye on this Banana."

"..."

Cheng Xiaoxi was about to say something when she suddenly saw David wave his right hand and his pajamas turned into a set of casual clothes that were easy to move around. This magical sight blocked what she was about to say.

It wasn't until David went out that Cheng Xiaoxi pointed in the direction of the door in surprise: "Just now...did David suddenly change his clothes? Isn't it dazzling me?"

"No! It's just a little trick, very simple!" Sofia made a magic trick, and then the yukata on her body turned into a gorgeous long dress. With a turn of her hand, the brilliance flowed from her body and turned back into a yukata.

"Is this magic?"

"It can only be a trick."

Sophia began to teach Cheng Xiaoxi what magic and tricks were.

David followed the signs he had made before and went to say hello one by one, and soon came to the leader of the group, Major McDonald.

"Good evening, Major."

"Who are you?" McDonald was sorting out his action plan and only waited until the cruise ship was farther away before taking action. Unexpectedly, someone suddenly came to the door and revealed his identity.

"A man who doesn't want to be disturbed from his wonderful travel schedule."
