For a moment of thrill, Luo Chen binds to a villain system. After finally finishing his role, he is told that he failed. To get the wish granted by the system and return home, Luo Chen starts over ...
"this……"
The three brothers exchanged glances, looking as if they had something difficult to say.
Luo Chen saw this and roughly guessed what was going on; it was simply that he wouldn't be as free as before.
"Young Master Luo, I can't tell you about this. Anyway, do you dare to bet with me?" Lu Renyi changed the subject and looked directly at Luo Chen.
Luo Chen nodded.
"Of course, it's boring anyway..."
"Alright... I see you're not very good at this game, so I won't bully you. I'll let you win a little. But don't try to renege on your promise later."
Lu Renyi seemed very magnanimous. Mahjong was his home turf, and he wouldn't lose even if he let Lu Renyi win a little.
"That's good. I haven't fought much, but I still know a little bit," Luo Chen said calmly.
The other two brothers naturally wouldn't spoil the atmosphere; they just quietly played along.
Everyone had received their cards. Lu Renyi glanced at his own cards and smiled.
Then he glanced at Lu Renjia and Lu Renbing, who both nodded in agreement, their cards also seeming to be in good shape.
But when everyone actually started fighting, they were completely dumbfounded.
In the first round, Luo Chen performed the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, completing eighty-eight rounds.
On the second lap, Luo Chen was all green, scoring 88 points.
In the third round, Luo Chen completed seven pairs, totaling eighty-eight.
The fourth round, Luo Chen's Nine-Treasure Lotus Lantern, number eighty-eight.
After four laps.
The three brothers were dumbfounded, and Lu Renyi had lost all purpose in life, sitting there blankly like a lost soul.
"Sorry, I seem to be having a good run of luck today. Maybe it's because I haven't played much."
Lu Renyi: "..."
Lu Renjia: "..."
Lu Renbing: "..."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible... How could this be..."
Lu Renyi didn't believe Luo Chen's words at all. He had been playing mahjong for so many years and had never seen anyone so awesome.
Isn't this kind of plot something you only see on TV?
How could this happen in real life...?
"How about we skip mahjong and play dominoes or dice instead?"
Luo Chen pointed at a mahjong tile: "It feels too simple, not interesting at all."
Lu Renyi: "..."
Luo Chen's Versailles game left him speechless. If this mahjong was simple, why didn't he play such a good hand? He could have easily gotten a Big Three Dragons or a Small Four Winds.
However, when playing against Luo Chen, I found it difficult to even get a winning hand...
"Oh, right, don't forget the conditions you promised me," Luo Chen reminded him.
Lu Renyi nodded absentmindedly.
Seeing that Lu Renyi had lost his purpose in life, Luo Chen looked at Lu Renjia and Lu Renbing and gave them a gentle smile.
But that seemingly harmless laugh sent chills down their spines.
"I've never played dice or dominoes before, do you want to play with me?"
Lu Renjia: "..."
Lu Renbing: "..."
After the two fell silent, Luo Chen continued, "Don't worry, I've never played this game before. If you win, all previous debts and conditions will be wiped clean. If you lose, do the same as him and agree to one of my conditions. How about that?"
Lu Renjia and Lu Renbing swallowed hard, exchanged glances, and felt very uncertain. Although they were both in their own areas of expertise, the sight of Lu Renyi next to them made them feel insecure.
"Huh? Why aren't you saying anything? Don't you two want to avenge your brother? Look at him, his soul is practically flying off to heaven. What if he flies away...?"
What else can we do? It's all your fault.
The two of them muttered to themselves.
Seeing the expectant look in Lu Renyi's eyes and his defiant expression, the two of them made up their minds.
The two nodded in unison.
"Okay, we'll play along. We hope you'll keep your word."
"That's natural."
Luo Chen smiled and then took out some paper from the drawer: "Come on, let's write the new IOU first, so you don't try to renege later."
Lu Renjia and Lu Renbing had no choice but to sign their names.
Luo Chen took it, glanced at it, nodded, and smiled.
The first to arrive was Lu Renbing. He took out a set of dominoes, and judging from the marks on it, it had been used for some time.
There are 32 dominoes in total. Four people enter the game, and each person gets eight dominoes.
The larger cards defeat the smaller ones; the cards are divided into civil and military types, with the heavenly card being the most prestigious among the civil cards.
In martial arts, nine points are considered the most prestigious.
However, for now, it's just Luo Chen and Lu Renbing playing together, so it's best to separate them.
The ranking of Tianjiu cards is determined by different combinations of card values.
There are two categories: civil and military.
The Wenpai (文牌) are further divided into: Big Tiles [Heaven, Earth, Man, and Harmony].
Long tiles: [Long Three, Long Five, Long Two].
Short cards: [1-5, 1-6, 4-6, Tiger Head].
As for the gameplay.
In single-card games, higher-ranking cards of the same suit can beat lower-ranking cards, but cards of different suits cannot be played against each other.
For example, the four types of tiles in the game of Wenpai (文牌) – Heaven, Earth, Human, and Harmony – can be played in descending order of size.
You can also play the following long and short cards. Long cards can be played against short cards, and within short cards, you can also play more cards against fewer cards based on their point values.
The same applies to martial arts.
Combination cards can also be used in Tianjiu (a card game).
The largest is the [Supreme].
Generally, it is a combination of one civil and one military card, such as [Tian Jiu] Tian card combined with four and five.
[Earth Eight] Earthly card combines with two six.
[Renqi] Renpai Hesan Si.
[和五] refers to a winning hand consisting of two or three, one or four, etc.
These combinations of cards can be played in turn. The last high card is called the "knot," and only by "knotting" can one win.
Lu Renbing briefly explained the fighting strategy, and Luo Chen listened and nodded.
After he cut the cards, we started taking the cards.
Lu Renbing smiled.
Lu Renjia, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement. Although he wasn't good at it, he understood these things.
The two felt much more at ease; it seemed like things were settled.
After a while, however, both of them lost their smiles, and Lu Renbing's face turned pale.
What did Luo Chen produce?
White two red four dots, white one white two dots.
The Supreme Treasure, which has an extremely low probability of appearing, actually ended up in his hands.
I thought Shuangtian was a sure win, but they lost.
The second one.
Luo Chen, six white dots and six red dots, two heavens.
The third round, Heavenly Nine Supreme.
The fourth one...
There won't be a fifth one.
Following in Lu Renyi's footsteps, Lu Renbing slumped in his chair, unable to hold onto his cards.
They seemed to have lost their color, turning gray and losing their luster in this world.
Luo Chen rested his chin on one hand, glanced at the two of them, and then looked at Lu Renjia, the only one who still had the courage to stand.
Lu Renjia swallowed hard.
Now, he was the only hope left. Even though his confidence had been shattered by Luo Chen's bad luck, he still took out the dice cup.
"How do you want to play?" Lu Renjia asked.
"Let's solve this quickly, just sum the sizes."
"good……"
Lu Renjia skillfully swung the dice cup, the dice clattering inside.
After showing off his skills, Lu Renjia slammed the dice cup onto the table.
"I guess..."
"etc!"
Lu Renjia interrupted Luo Chen and reached out to stop him.
"I'll guess first this time."
"Um?"
Seeing Luo Chen's puzzled look, Lu Renjia did not explain. He already knew whether the dice were big or small when he shook them, so he had to say it first. Otherwise, if Luo Chen guessed correctly, he would lose.
"You're not stopping me from speaking first because you're afraid I'll guess right, are you?"
