Shi Li had already seen that Shi Shisan was an unreliable guy.
But he never expected it to be so unreliable.
"You don't understand that."
Chu Shisan looked at the entrance of the gambling house, showing his excitement as he was eager to try.
“I will feel good only when I win money.”
"I can only teach you how to exorcise demons when I'm in a good mood."
He shook his head as he spoke.
Shi Li: "What if you lose?"
Except Thirteen: "If you lose, come back tomorrow~"
Shi Li: "What if all the money is lost?"
Except Thirteen: "Then wait for next month's salary~"
Shi Li: “…”
Shi Li suddenly felt that his copy mission seemed quite difficult to complete.
After a few words of conversation, the two had already walked into the gambling house.
"Hey! Master Chu is here again! Please come in~!"
"The box is ready for you, the others are waiting inside~!"
A young waiter with a mustache led them to a private room upstairs.
"what the hell."
As the door of the box was pushed open, Shi Li saw the scene inside.
At this time, there were already two women and one man sitting there waiting for the Thirteenth Day.
There is a square table with four rows of square-shaped cards neatly placed on it.
I didn't expect that the game that Thirteen wanted to gamble on tonight would be mahjong.
"Master Chu, who is this?"
One of the women looked at Shi Li.
"He is an apprentice sent by the Demon Exorcist House. Don't worry about him."
"Let's get started."
Except for Thirteen, he rubbed his hands.
"Well, since you're the last one to arrive, we'll decide the position first."
The man laughed.
As for mahjong, Shi Li could only say that he was familiar with the general rules, but he had never actually played it many times.
When he was on Blue Star, he heard that the rules of mahjong were slightly different depending on the place.
But the way to win is basically the same.
That is to see who can get 4 pairs and 1 pair of eyes first.
A pair refers to a three-card straight pair of 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, 123, 234, 789, etc.
Or the same character combinations like 111, 222, 333.
A pair of eyes refers to two identical cards.
The first person to draw 4 pairs + 1 pair, a total of 14 cards, is the winner.
The man picked out the four words East, West, South and North, and then shuffled them in the middle of the table.
Each of the three people took one card, and the remaining ones were the ones except thirteen.
"Haha, it seems I'm lucky today!"
He turned over the card and it said [East].
So he threw the dice and determined his position based on the number on it, with his back facing the entrance to the box.
"You'll know whether you're lucky or not only after playing a few rounds."
"Master Chu, don't lose so much as to run away again tonight."
“Hehehe…”
The three card-playing friends all had mocking expressions on their faces.
"Run? Humph!"
Except for Thirteen Swordsmen, Golden Horse sat down, drew a dagger from his waist and slapped it directly on the table.
Bang!
"I specially invited my Chu family's ancestral magic weapon tonight - the Demon-Slaying Sword."
"It is specially used to kill the fate of you monsters and demons!"
"I will kill you all and see who will lose so much that he wants to run away!"
He said this with great vigor.
"Hahahaha, such a small dagger, can it really be a demon-slaying sword?"
"This is already the 36th magical instrument you have sacrificed. The previous 35 didn't seem to bless you at all."
However, the three of them seemed to be accustomed to his attitude.
Can the Thirteenth Monster be eliminated? They have never seen it before.
But this guy is really bad at playing cards.
After sitting down in order, everyone took 13 cards from the table as their starting hand and built the Great Wall in front of themselves.
Shi Li moved a stool and sat down behind Chu Shisan.
Now he had some understanding of what Uncle Tiaotiao felt like as a clerk in the dungeon.
I am obviously a mahjong player, but now I am in a dungeon watching others play mahjong. What's the point?
But after a few rounds, he suddenly realized that the process of looking at the cards might not take too long.
Because...Chu Shisan's card playing is so stinky!
There were many times when even an amateur like him could see which card should be played, but this guy would play other cards.
It had only been a short while since the fight started, but he had already fired several shots at others.
He is truly a gambler.
A compulsive gambler means someone who loves gambling.
A bad gambler can also mean someone who plays cards very badly.
Clearly this guy meets both criteria.
It looks like unless this guy gets extremely lucky, it won't be long before he loses all his chips for the night.
He had just finished a round of fighting, and when he saw Chu Shisan's expression gradually becoming more serious after he fired again, he seemed to have noticed the problem as well.
"No, I can't hold it anymore, I need to go to the bathroom."
“…”
Okay, misunderstood.
"Kid, help me fight for a while, I'll be back soon."
"I?"
Shi Li was stunned.
However, he didn't get a chance to refuse, as Chu Shisan rushed out in a hurry.
"Come if you are asked to, little apprentice."
"Yes, maybe you helped him win money, and he would be so happy that he would teach you how to exorcise monsters."
"That's right."
The two women and one man urged Shi Li to go to the table.
They are not willing to let go of the opportunity to slaughter newbies.
"All right."
Shi Li thought that he was free anyway, so he sat in the seat except for Thirteen.
"Huh?"
But when he sat closer to the table, he suddenly found that the mahjong tiles in front of him became transparent...
…
After an incense stick of time, Chu Shisan walked out of the toilet with unsteady steps.
"Damn it. I had a hangover yesterday and drank on an empty stomach today. My stomach is a bit overwhelmed."
He held the fence with his hands and stood there for a long time.
After the numbness in his feet gradually disappeared, he staggered towards the box .
"Wait, no more!"
"Again?!"
As a result, he had only taken a few steps when he turned around and rushed back to the toilet.
This happened over and over again several times, and 40 minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
However, Shisan, who was squatting in the toilet, was not only anxious behind the scenes, but also anxious inside.
He didn't dare to imagine what kind of scene he would see when he returned to the box.
Could it be that the boy has lost all his chips tonight under the siege of three old birds?
So after confirming for the last time that he had completely let go, he put on his pants and rushed to the box.
This short corridor in the past now seemed to have become many times longer in front of me.
He wished he could just take a single step and reach the end.
"I'm back!"
Bang!
Anxiously pushing open the door, he called out urgently.
"I drew it by myself, and I won."
However, what he saw was the young man's back pushing down the mahjong tiles in his hand.
As for the other three, they looked at Chu Shisan with bitter smiles on their faces.
"Master Chu, you are finally back. I missed you so much!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, you are a demon slayer, please quickly capture this evildoer!"
"It's weird, it's really too weird!"
The completely different attitudes of these three people made Chu Shisan feel that things were not developing in the direction he expected.
When I asked carefully, I was shocked.
It turns out that ever since Shi Li took over, this guy has never let anyone win!
“Is this true?”
But Shisan still didn't believe it and opened the drawer on his side.
As a result, I saw that it was full of various chips.
"Oh my gosh!"
He was shocked on the spot.
Since I learned to play mahjong, I have never won so much!
To be honest, even Shi Li himself was quite surprised.
Because he didn't expect that [Absolute Card Sense] could actually see through the mahjong tiles on the mahjong table in the copy!
"Master Chu, now that you are back, please come to the table."
At this time, the man urged Chu Shisan, he didn't want to lose like this anymore.
"That's right."
"Hurry up and get to the table so we can get some blood back."
The other two echoed.
"What do you know? It's taboo to just relieve yourself!"
"You can't come to the table at this time, it will be bad luck!"
Except for Thirteen, he is not a fool.
Now that Shi Li's Shura wave is approaching, how could he possibly do something like replacing people and cutting off his own dragon energy?
So he pulled the stool over and sat behind Shi Li.
Seeing him like this, the three of them had no choice but to accept reality and start building the cards.
As the winner of the previous hand, Shi Li needs to draw 14 cards and then play one immediately.
To be honest, he knew that if except thirteen was bad card skills, then he just had bad luck.
He had fought so many games before, but he didn't win every time.
Of course, with the perspective in hand, even if his own cards really can't win, he can still disrupt the opponent's order of drawing cards by touching the cards, making it impossible for the opponent to win.
However, there is no absolute or eternal bad luck or good luck at the mahjong table. After all, it is a matter of probability.
So this time, his starting hand was pretty good.
2 South Wind + 2 Fortune + 2 Eight of a Trace + 2 Five of a Trace + 2 Ten Thousand + 2 Nine Cakes, plus 1 Trace + 1 East Wind.
In mahjong, the cards that win more money are called big cards.
One of the big hand types is 2x7, which means 7 pairs in total.
Now Shi Li only needs to play one or Dong Feng to form a 2x6+1 hand pattern, commonly known as a 7-pair draw.
If he plays one, that is, another Dongfeng to form the final pair, he can win.
On the contrary, if you play Dongfeng and then play a single card to form the last pair, you can also win.
Moreover, if you want to win with big cards, you don’t necessarily need to draw by yourself.
If someone at the table plays the last card he or she needs, they can also win the game.
Commonly known as firecrackers.
“Wow!!”
At this time, Chu Shisan, who was sitting behind him, couldn't help but cheer.
This starting hand is really good!
However, such behavior attracted Shi Li's attention.
He is a newcomer at the mahjong table, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to play.
Whether it is Mahjong or Cube, psychological games are a very useful thing.
So he just looked at Chu Shisan quietly and calmly until the other party felt ashamed.
(Yes, if I shout it out like this, isn’t it the same as telling others that we are a big name?)
Except for Thirteen, who realized it belatedly and became annoyed.
But at this moment, he heard Shi Li speaking.
"A perfect hand with 7 pairs should double the money."
He said this to the other three people.
As he spoke, he pushed down his own wall of cards.
"Hey?! Wait a minute!"
Such an action made Chu Shisan exclaim again.
I was only one pair away from 7 pairs, why did I push the cards? !
Isn't this just cheating?
However, unlike Shisan, these three people were already frightened by Shi Li’s previous win.
When they heard the number "天胡+7", their hearts skipped a beat and a feeling of suffocation followed.
Because if they really get a perfect hand of 7 pairs, they may not have to play cards for this month, no, it should be for the next three months!
Fortunately, at this moment, the three of them saw Chu Shisan and jumped up immediately.
Moreover, the words he shouted made them feel relieved.
"What are you doing? If you cheat, you have to pay compensation to all three parties!"
Fortunately, fortunately! It turned out to be a fraud! x3
The three of them secretly rejoiced.
"?"
But Shi Li pointed at his own cards and asked, "Look carefully, where did I cheat?"
"You are clearly... eh?!"
Chu Shisan wanted to turn hostile, but when he took a closer look, he discovered a clue.
2 Nanfeng + 2 Fortune + 2 Eight of a Kind + 2 Five of a Kind + 2 Ten Thousand + 2 Nine Cakes
That one and the east wind were covered.
"Did I say I was stupid?"
He spread his hands.
Indeed, at a normal poker table, both pushing cards and shouting "Hu" are required to be considered a win.
First of all, Shi Li did not shout Hu, and secondly, he still had two cards covered, which did not count as pushing the cards.
So this isn't really a scam.
"Then why did you ask the number of points for Tian Hu + 7 pairs just now?"
One of the women was slightly angry.
"Why, can't I ask?"
"Uh..." x4
As a result, Shi Li said something that left all four of them speechless.
Yes, it’s okay for others to ask what’s wrong, and there’s no rule against asking.
"Then what do you mean by showing your six pairs?"
Except for Thirteen, I still don’t understand.
"Tell them I'm waiting."
Shi Li was quite straightforward.
"ah?"
"A rotten tree cannot be carved, the east wind."
He didn't explain any further, but threw a card.
Originally, Chu Shisan wanted to ask more, but he immediately discovered the reason why Shi Li did this.
Because at this time the expressions of the three players were all very bad, especially Shi Li's lower player, who frowned and counted the 6 pairs of exposed cards from time to time. It seemed that he was extremely cautious about what card to play first.
(I see!)
(They are afraid of explosions!)
Chu Shisan, who had figured it out, looked at Shi Li with admiration.
Because of this exposed hand, the mentality of the other three people changed completely.
No one wants to lose, and some are even willing to give up putting together the cards in order to avoid losing, commonly known as giving up the win!
It must be said that this psychological game really impressed him.
Before watching Shi Li playing cards, he had never thought that mahjong could be played like this!
The other three people at the table were all veterans, and they were all very fast at drawing and playing cards.
But at this moment they seemed to be under a slowing spell, and it took them a long time of hesitation before they each played a card that they thought was safe and not a cannon card.
"One."
On the other hand, Shi Li just threw it casually, quite easily.
At this point, Yitiao and Dongfeng were both lost, which made Chu Shisan feel itchy again.
Because he really wanted to see what the covered card that Shi Li left behind was.
It was another difficult round, and it was Shi Li's turn to draw a card again.
This time he didn't even look at the cards, but rubbed them with his fingers like a veteran.
"Huh?"
As he rubbed it, a look of joy appeared on his face.
"No way, you're masturbating again?"
"You can masturbate with this, it's too good."
"7 pairs of self-painting? Oh my god!"
The hearts of those three people were in their throats again.
"Just trying to scare you, Hongzhong."
As a result, Shi Li smiled and threw away the card.
"Oh my god, I was really scared!"
"Damn it, he tricked me."
"It's good that I didn't touch myself, it's good that I didn't touch myself..."
The three of them felt that their mentality was about to be ruined.
But we should still be cautious when we need to be cautious.
Anyway, they all secretly decided in this round to give up the winning cards and just pick the safe cards to play.
As the saying goes, how dare the dead bald donkey snatch the nun from me? Oh, that’s not right, it’s the dead bald donkey who would rather die than me.
It doesn’t matter who loses the money, as long as it’s not me.
So with this mentality, after another round of difficult hesitation, it was Shi Li's turn to draw a card.
This time, just like before, he rubbed it with his hands first.
However, the same tactic cannot work twice in a row against the Ma Fighter, so the three of them were mentally prepared.
They thought that this time they had to remain calm and not let the other party succeed in showing off again.
At this time, Shi Li was holding the card in his hand and turned to look at Chu Shisan.
"As the saying goes, pretending to be cool is fun for a while, but it's always fun if you keep pretending."
"If you don't show off when playing cards, then what's the point of playing cards?"
"Sorry guys, I touched myself."
After saying that, he showed the new card he had just drawn and the covered card.
Two south winds, two more south winds.
"!!!"
Chu Shisan, who originally didn't understand why Shi Li suddenly said this, now opened his mouth wide, only breathing in but not exhaling.
"Wow! It's the big seven pairs of self-painting!!!"
The next second, he almost jumped onto the ceiling.
"Ah???" x3
The other three people's faces turned pale in disbelief.
Big seven pairs means that 2 of the 7 pairs are identical cards.
Since it is more difficult than ordinary 7 pairs, the number of points is twice that of ordinary 7 pairs!
Uncomfortable. At this moment, they can only be described as feeling uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable.
It's like swallowing a fly while eating shit, it just feels uncomfortable.
The other party not only pretended to be cool, but the key was that he won!
These two effects combined together are the most lethal at the poker table.
It can be said that this time, Shi Li completely destroyed their momentum.
This situation continued in the second half of the night.
The game finally ended when one of the three players lost all his chips.
Experiencing the unprecedented thrill of winning money, his smile never relaxed until he walked out of the gambling house and onto the street.
It was already late at night, and the cool breeze made people feel relaxed and happy.
Shi Li played mahjong for a whole night, and later realized that it was a bit boring. After all, cube cards were more interesting.
At this time, he followed behind Chu Shisan and walked on the deserted street.
Just as the two were about to reach Chu Shisan's dilapidated house, Chu Shisan suddenly stopped at the entrance of the alley.
He turned back, his eyes full of admiration.
"Hey, brother, can you teach me how to act cool? Oh no, teach me how to play cards?"
"Um?"
