Chapter 272: Chapter 62 - Simply Unfair (Request for Monthly Tickets!)_1
On Shu Mountain, the North-South Wanderer who still hadn’t left, was leisurely having a meal. Elder Sun said, "Today is the Mahjong competition, a part of the entertainment program. Don’t you want to go watch?"
"I, Mister Huang, detest gambling throughout my life." said Elder Huang with righteousness.
Elder Sun chuckled.
Of course he knew why Elder Huang said so. Because Elder Huang loses nine out of ten bets, he always makes the wrong choices, hence he is like a guiding lamp in the gambling world.
No wonder he detests it.
"But Jiang Yuebai is also playing, aren’t you a fan of that young girl?" Elder Sun added.
"A small bet makes for an enjoyable pastime, a big bet harms the health. Besides, how can a mental exercise like Mahjong be considered gambling?" Elder Huang stood up, the food in his plate was already long gone.
Elder Sun couldn’t help but to roll his eyes.
When the two arrived at the outskirts of the Mahjong contest, they found a crowd gathering at one end of the venue.
Not many were left to participate in the rematch. These were naturally spectators, and they were all watching the same match.
With their eyesight, the two elders could see the situation without getting close and promptly stopped to watch on spot.
"Eh, I won again, right?"
At the table, the most eye-catching was a fair-skinned young girl in a ponytail. With an expression of naive joy on her face, she just finished drawing a set of tiles and immediately put them down.
A winning hand dealt by heaven.
"The twelfth winning hand dealt by heaven, good heavens! What on earth is this young girl’s background?"
"She’s a little demonic spirit from Silver Sword Peak, seemingly a transformed Koi Spirit, so her lucky streak is off the charts."
"Even if she’s a naturally raised Koi Spirit, she shouldn’t be so outrageous. Does she have other mysterious traits?"
"In any case, she didn’t use any divine skills, everything was fair."
"Unbelievable..."
"Senior Brother Xu will be eliminated before the rematch!"
Whispers from the crowd were expressing their surprise.
Seated next to Liu Xiaoyu was the upright Xu Ziyang, his face was calm, but his heart was in turmoil.
This young girl... was too astonishing.
Is she going to win all sixteen continuous games with a heavenly hand?
Xu Ziyang’s mental strength is also potent, but this is how Mahjong works, no matter how many tile positions he remembers, he cannot change her.
Each time he sorted out the hand, and discovered the tiles everyone was about to draw, he would immediately realize that Liu Xiaoyu was to get a heavenly hand.
This feeling of powerlessness, sometimes it is better not to know.
But why?
He had intentionally tried to mess up the placement of the tiles, but he could only manipulate a small portion, and it was always not enough to obstruct Liu Xiaoyu’s terrifying heavenly hand. This game had become a tile-pushing game for her alone.
The rest of the three on the table seemed more like tools for arranging tiles.
More and more spectators were drawn over, coming to witness the birth of a miracle.
On the contrary, at the table of Chu Liang and Jiang Yuebai, only a few diehard fans of Jiang remained and watched, but they seemed rather sleepy.
Because it was really too boring.
For ordinary people, they couldn’t see the godlike battle between Chu Liang and Jiang Yuebai, they only saw that even after half a day no one had a winning hand, and there were only trivial wins when the game was about to end.
The game was extremely slow, with each tile requiring deep thought... yet the outcome was always a close call, even after five or six games there was no significant difference.
Naturally, the viewers found it boring.
Due to the battle of skills, the two were busy figuring each other out and gave Henchman A the chance to win twice.
Hearing the gasps of surprise from the next table, Chu Liang suddenly smiled, "Senior Sister Jiang, even though we are evenly matched right now, in the end, I will win."
"Hmph." Jiang Yuebai slightly lifted her eyebrow, "How can you be so sure?"
"Want to make a bet?" Chu Liang chuckled, "If I win, you have to let me ask you a question, and you must answer truthfully."
"All right." Jiang Yuebai grinned, "And if I win, you have to answer one of my questions as well, no lying."
Xu Ziqing watched the sparks flying between the two, silently screaming in her heart: "Ahhh... Their interactions really have a covertly flirtatious feel! If I hadn’t personally seen Senior Brother Chu buying the Dual-cultivation Method, I might not have noticed!"
Henchman A blinked as he listened to their conversation, puzzled, "A four-person mahjong game, why suddenly are two people deprived of the right to win? Aren’t I the one with the most chips on the field right now..."
But he soon found out why.
At the last round, Xu Ziyang abruptly closed his eyes during the shuffling phase, giving up the process of card counting. Knowing the opponent’s ’Heavenly Winning Hand’ in advance was of no use anyway.
However, this time, Liu Xiaoyu did not immediately fold after drawing a card, instead, she hesitated for a moment and gently pushed out a card.
"Hmm?" Xu Ziyang quickly opened his eyes.
No ’Heavenly Winning Hand’?
Regrettably, it was the last round, and the chips collected in front of Liu Xiaoyu were piled up like a mountain. Even with a big win, it wouldn’t be enough to turn the tables of the previous fifteen rounds.
But even a single win was better than a complete loss.
So, he gathered his spirits, examined the cards in front of him, and meticulously discarded one card.
"Wait a moment..." Liu Xiaoyu suddenly exclaimed, "The card he discarded, isn’t it exactly the one I’m missing..."
She timidly knocked over her set of tiles.
Xu Ziyang’s heroic eyebrows gradually frowned in the split moment when he was about to gather his spirit and win a game to avoid a disgraceful departure.
He had caused Liu Xiaoyu to win.
"..." The entire room fell silent.
If it was anyone else, they might have spewed a mouthful of old blood in shock, but luckily for Xu Ziyang, he was composed enough. He just slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and then turned to leave.
The gazes of the crowd turned to Liu Xiaoyu, making the young girl extremely nervous, but she couldn’t leave for a while because of a task Chu Liang had left her before leaving Silver Sword Peak.
Just before leaving Silver Sword Peak, Chu Liang told her that if she won quickly like before, she should come to Chu Liang’s mahjong table and... cheer him on.
...
"She’s totally cheating."
That same night, at the draw location of Tontian Peak, remembering Liu Xiaoyu’s actions from the day, Jiang Yuebai was still a little annoyed.
She was still negotiating with Chu Liang. As soon as that young girl showed up, Chu Liang’s luck had shot up. Under both of their scheming, the one with better luck took a significant lead making it easier to win.
Chu Liang took advantage of this to win a game, beating Jiang Yuebai and the other two insignificant players with a slight advantage and advanced to the finals of the mahjong tournament.
He had become one of the candidates for the God of Mahjong on Shu Mountain.
Xu Ziyang empathized even more. When it came to the Koi girl, he was just speechless. But after a moment of thinking, he added, "Ordinary Koi spirits shouldn’t have such terrible fortune. There must be something extraordinary about her that enhances her luck."
Ling Ao beside them frowned, a touch of gloom flashing in his eyes at their words.
The three had gathered and were discussing when Chu Liang, the last to arrive, walked up to the draw location. As was expected, he had brought Liu Xiaoyu with him.
"What’s the use of bringing her to the top four draw?" the Deacon holding the draw cylinder laughed, "There aren’t any weak contenders here."
Chu Liang smiled, "No matter what, the opponent Little Yi draws will be the best for me."
"Well, then let Little Sister Yi draw first." Jiang Yuebai laughed.
"Thank you, Sister Jiang." Liu Xiaoyu gave a very polite thank-you, then walked up to the cylinder.
The Deacon knew that the stake she drew was representative of Chu Liang, so he let her reach into the pot and pull out a draw.
Liu Xiaoyu handed the stake to Chu Liang, who looked down at it and saw three large characters: "Xu Ziyang."
