Lucifer sacrificed too much for world peace

After the second floor was redecorated and new businesses were launched, the first floor of Lucifer is still operating normally.

After yesterday's tasting session ended, not only some of the regular children, but also a few of their adults came along today, and they made an appointment to play cards with him yesterday... No, those who tried together also all Come as promised.

Therefore, the first floor is divided into two parts. On one side, children are addicted to role-playing games such as Pagan Killing, and on the other side, adults are playing casual games such as poker and mahjong while chatting.

One time when I came to collect points stamps, a middle-aged man asked: "On the bulletin board outside of you, it says 'Unlimited buffet for 5 silver coins for 1 hour in the chess and card room on the second floor'..."

"It's just as written in the announcement." Lucifer continued to read this page before looking up and asking, "Any questions?"

Now Lucifer didn't even stamp himself, the alarm clock controlled the stamp to jump up, stamping a black stamp on the opponent's point card.

Anyway, if they dare to cheat, they will be punished by God, so there is no need to worry.

The man who had lost 6 times in a row and still couldn't even redeem a cup of Coke coughed: "Ah, I just want to ask why I suddenly set up a chess and card room."

"It's Mr. David Carnegie's proposal." Lucifer saw something, and he didn't mind clearing up the other party's doubts, "He thinks it's more efficient to talk about business while eating. Prosperous business is beneficial to the development of Eden. I think You can try a new model, so that people who have difficulty accumulating points can also have a chance-it is unfair in a sense that the trial decides everything, so I agreed."

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief.

Lucifer raised his eyebrows and moved his fingers on the page.This person's reaction was not as if he could go to the chess and card room on the second floor without being punished by God just because he had a good reason, but rather like...

church people.

To make sure he is safe to do so.

It seemed that what Michael had done before had worked well. The church did not engage in any crap such as compulsory order review, but approached him cautiously.

It's a bit sneaky, but Lucifer understands.When the angel finally came down once, he gave an inexplicable request to let them listen to a new sage who came to the Garden of Eden. Normal people would feel confused.

The church's principle is to make people in its territory peaceful and happy, and such strange and unpredictable orders are very disturbing.

But it is impossible not to listen to the angel's words, and the official is worried that being misunderstood is finding fault, so directly observing the situation as a guest is a good option.

...Although Lucifer is reading a book, he actually knows what's going on around him. This person obviously really likes to play mahjong. Even if he keeps losing, the church sends him. .

Now this person can still remember the tasks assigned by the church, which is considered good.

"I want to go to the second floor to have a look." The man's expression seemed to be really ready to move, not just for the church, "Can you?"

Lucifer glanced at the name on his points card.

"Certainly, Mr. Martin Nicholas, but are you alone?"

"And my companion."

Martin took his three friends up the stairs to the second floor.In addition to the indoor staircase, there is also a staircase at the back of the house, which can directly access the second floor from the outside without going through the first floor.

There are already quite a few people in the chess and card room on the second floor, roughly twelve or three people, scattered into several groups.Some were playing two-person Garden of Eden poker, some were playing four-person Mahjong, and some seemed to have just finished a round. The messy cards on the table had not been cleaned up, and a few people were simply eating and chatting.

Martin, as a member of the church, has contacts with organizations such as the elders' group. After a quick glance, he recognized several familiar people, all of whom were prominent businessmen in the Garden of Eden.

These people are usually on the road or on the road, and there are times when they get together like this. It is probably for the biggest annual sacrificial event in the Garden of Eden in the near future.

Lucifer didn't follow, but just took a note of the time, and then let Martin and others go to the second floor at will.So Martin and the others found a mahjong table, put down their things, and then went to look at the long table where the food was placed.

There are not as many varieties of food as yesterday's tasting meeting, but everyone has been frugal and restrained for so many years, and it is still very shocking to see that there is still unlimited supply of things on the table.

The French fries and chicken wings were fried golden, but they did not overwhelm the sweetness of the popcorn; the deep-fried skewers were covered with thick batter, and some shapes were difficult to identify. There were brushes and several kinds of sauces in the pot on the side, so you can season yourself; One bite of small walnut cake and mung bean cake put together...

Passing through these food places, there is a drink area at the end. There are Coke, Sprite, fruit juice, lemon honey, tea, and coffee milk tea, etc. There are also snow-white sugar cubes in the drink area. The urge to eat sugar.

sugar!white sugar!Is this actually an unlimited supply? ? ?Lord Sage doesn't look like someone who is not good at mathematics, can't he figure out that this will make him bankrupt?

No, no, with the support of angels, Mr. Sage should not go bankrupt...

However, the generosity of Mr. Sage cannot be used as a reason for his own waste. Martin restraintly took a flower cake, a piece of fried chicken, some French fries, a few fried skewers, and then poured a glass of Coke, and returned to the table that belonged to them. .

"—Archimedes is actually entangled in the milk tea shop?" A table not far from them chatted casually while playing cards, "It's really impossible, let him raise the cows at home and buy pasture every day. It doesn't spoil easily, and he doesn't need much milk anyway. A pair of 5."

Another person said: "Yes, 7. That's what I suggested too. I don't know what his plans are when he goes back."

"I only have one card, did you do it on purpose? I'm sorry. Although the milk tea is delicious, I don't think it's suitable for Utopia." The man said, "The city of Arcadia was released last month. The matter of the death of the milk man is quite a big deal, and Archimedes came out early, so maybe he didn’t know the news, anyway, the two cities are close to each other, so Utopia must have had an impact.”

"Yes, 10. In fact, the milk should be sterilized properly. It was an accident. The city of Arcadia overreacted."

At this time, Martin's poker friends came back one after another with plates and cups.

The mahjong has already been set, eliminating the need to shuffle the cards, and there is no noise interference from the shuffling. Their table can still hear the sound of the next table.

The topic of their discussion is still milk.

"The milk merchants over there are miserable. People died from drinking milk. The demand in Arcadia City has dropped sharply, and Utopia can't digest it... No, it's good if the demand for Utopia doesn't decrease."

Xia Jia scratched his hair: "I can't afford this brand too. If Archimedes' milk tea is made, maybe it can save the milk merchants over there."

Some people are very pessimistic: "Deterioration is an eternal problem. It would be great if there is a faster way of transportation. It takes a long time to go out for business every time. The last time I came back, my youngest daughter didn't know me."

"She's still young, she'll be fine when she grows up." Shangjia comforted him.

Suddenly, the people at the other table turned around and said to this table: "Hey, Tom, sorry to interrupt, I heard your conversation, I heard a little rumor about the new mode of transportation."

The man named Tom asked strangely: "What rumors?"

"I know." None of them stared at the cards in their hands without looking up, "That fellow Galileo once mentioned that steam-powered cars can theoretically travel at one to two hundred kilometers per hour."

"One or two hundred kilometers?" Someone laughed, "Isn't it going to the Tower of Babel, which originally took more than ten days, but now only takes less than a few hours?"

"Maybe it will be faster, after all, horses will get tired." A foreign businessman said, "If it can be done, it will be much more convenient for everyone, but unfortunately I don't think it is possible."

"Yeah, the church is very cautious about everything related to power." Tom sighed, "It may be that the influence of water power and wind power in the past was too bad."

Carnegie happened to pass by this table, and when he heard this, he stopped and said, "I don't think it's necessary to give up eating because of choking. There are more jobs, and new jobs can be created. Everyone helps each other, and people will never starve to death. Just pass this hurdle." gone."

"Where are there so many new jobs? The church is also for everyone's benefit." Tom complained, "Why did Galileo suddenly think of steam power?"

Carnegie coughed, "I heard it was suggested by the sage of the Apple store."

"........."

Now, Martin and the others, who had been keeping silent and listening, couldn't help but look up at each other.

It turned out to be this great sage?

He wants to push steam power into practical use?What is he trying to do?

... No, this matter must be told to the church.Even if the angel won't stop it, at least it must be confirmed whether the great sage really understands what consequences this will cause! ! !

Paradise meanwhile—

"Michael? You came back so early." Raphael looked at the cold Michael in surprise, "What happened? You don't seem to be in a good mood."

The cold air around Michael dissipated, and he put on a smile again: "It's nothing, I just met some... wait, Satan is back?"

He suddenly felt Satan flying over the sky just now.

"Yeah, the confinement time is over." Rafael said, "What's wrong?"

"Don't let him go to the human world." Michael said without hesitation, "Last time he didn't know what to do to anger Father God. Now that Father God has not woken up, who knows what else he can do."

Raphael smiled wryly: "Well, everyone knows about it, but we don't have the authority to prevent him from going to the human world..."

"Tsk." Michael clicked his tongue with a bad expression, "One trouble after another."

"So what happened to you?" Raphael was really curious, "It's been a long time since I saw your mood fluctuate so much."

"It's not a big deal. If it gets worse, I will discuss it with everyone. Now, please let me keep this secret." Michael pressed his forehead and spread his wings, "I will write the report later, I'll go find Satan first."

"Don't fight." Raphael warned worriedly, "Satan's condition is very bad now, don't bully him while Lucifer is not around."

"bad mood?"

Michael was startled: "What happened to him?"

Raphael shrugged helplessly: "You'll know it when you see it."
