Chapter 137



Chapter 137

Looking at the background of the live stream, viewers can easily tell that Xu Gui is currently on the sea.

So, instead of making money, why did Xu Gui end up at sea? And the luxurious ship in the background behind her means she not only went out to sea, but she was on a large ship.

Judging by this, they've gone on vacation to H province!

Upon seeing this scene, Xu Gui's haters immediately flocked in, banging on their keyboards and spouting sarcastic remarks. Unfortunately, no one paid them any attention. After all, compared to Xu Gui's tens of millions of fans, their number of haters was like a drop of water in the ocean—not even enough to make a splash.

Fans are curious about what Xu Gui is going to do at sea. The show is about to end, but she hasn't completed her 100 million yuan challenge yet.

However, the fans' attitude was clear: "We absolutely believe in Kame!"

They believed that Xu Gui was definitely capable of completing the challenge, so there must be a reason why Xu Gui suddenly went to H Province and went to sea.

Since the treasure has not yet been found, Xu Gui did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble or stir up discussion, so he just gave a few casual words to answer everyone's questions. Then, he changed the subject by taking everyone for a ride on the ship.

At first, the fans' attention was still on the "one hundred million," but after the camera followed Xu Gui as he toured the ship, everyone's attention unconsciously shifted to the ship itself, and they exclaimed in amazement like country bumpkins.

Netizens: I've learned something new! So this is a luxury liner!!

In fact, as a private ship, the Lu family's ship was not particularly large, but it exuded a low-key luxury and high-class feel. When Xu Gui entered the ship, countless netizens sitting in front of the live broadcast exclaimed in amazement.

"Wow!"

A gasp rang out, and everyone initially thought they had exclaimed it themselves. However, after a while, they realized that the "wow" was not theirs, but rather Xu Gui's exclamation.

Everyone looked towards the live stream and saw Xu Gui excitedly exploring the ship while marveling at the sight.

That's right. At first, she did just want to divert everyone's attention from the purpose of going to sea. But now, she is genuinely curious about the ship. After all, as a country bumpkin who hasn't been around for very long, this is the first time she has seen such an understated yet extremely luxurious ship.

Xu Gui: It's beautiful, look at it more, and browse around more!

As she was wandering around the ship, Lu Boyi saw her and took the initiative to walk over, asking with a smile, "Would you like me to be your tour guide? Just a small cake is all you need, and I'll show you around this ship."

As the owner of this ship, his knowledge of it was probably only slightly less than that of the maintenance staff, and he even knew more about the ship's interior than the maintenance personnel.

Therefore, he is absolutely qualified to be a tour guide.

Upon hearing this, Xu Gui immediately nodded, "Okay!" She could afford to pay for a small cake.

Upon hearing this, Lu Boyi smiled and gestured for them to begin: "Then, let's start by exploring the first floor."

The ship may look unassuming from the outside, but its interior is quite spacious. In addition to rooms for passengers, it also has various amenities such as a media room, a games room, a gym, and a bar.

As they strolled around, Xu Gui's eyes sparkled, and the netizens who followed the two also had a feast for the eyes and gained a lot of knowledge.

As Xu Gui and his group came out of the cabin and walked onto the deck, they were stopped by Fu Xia and her friends who were peeking around. Fu Xia's second cousin called out, "Master Xu, over here! Come and play mahjong with us!"

Xu Gui walked over, puzzled: "Are there mahjong tiles on this boat?"

Lu Boyi pondered, "...I remember there shouldn't be a mahjong room on our family's boat."

As the two approached, they discovered that a table had been placed on the deck at some point, with a set of mahjong tiles piled on it. Fu Xia, her second cousin, and Yuan Lu were each sitting on one side of the table.

"Hehehe," the second cousin chuckled, "I brought these up! I figured there was nothing to do at sea, so I brought the mahjong set. Master Xu, do you know how to play mahjong?"

Xu Gui shook his head: "No."

My second cousin, who was looking for a mahjong partner, enthusiastically said, "It's okay if you don't know how. It's very simple. We can learn as we play. Come on, sit down! We'll teach you, and I guarantee you'll learn it in no time."

Xu Gui sat down, looked around, and asked, "Where are the others?"

My second cousin and the others were already fiddling with the mahjong tiles when they heard this, they said, "You can fish on the boat, they've gone fishing!"

My second cousin curled his lip and said, "If you ask me, fishing is nowhere near as fun as playing mahjong. You can fish for a whole day and night and still come up empty-handed." Being a "blank-handed" player is embarrassing to even mention.

While they were talking, everyone had already shuffled and arranged the mahjong tiles. Fu Xia and the others gave Xu Gui a brief introduction to the rules of playing mahjong. After Xu Gui said he understood, everyone officially started playing.

Xu Gui pursed her lips, her face serious. Lu Baiyi sat beside her, acting as her strategist.

They don't gamble with money; instead, they stick stickers on people's faces based on wins and losses. Whoever loses gets a sticker stuck on their face.

Fu Xia's second cousin had a beaming smile on his face. As a "master of mahjong," he considered his skills to be superb and extraordinary. He had basically never lost at the mahjong table.

Now, his three opponents are a novice, a notoriously bad bettor who always loses, and the last one, whom he doesn't know much about, but it doesn't matter, he's sure to win anyway.

"Watch me beat you to a pulp..." Second cousin was full of fighting spirit.

On Xu Gui's side, Lu Baiyi had played mahjong before. Although he wasn't an expert, he was more than capable of guiding Xu Gui, a novice. He leaned closer to Xu Gui and whispered, "Look at this set of tiles, it's like this..."

He sat next to Xu Gui, and since he wanted to give her pointers on how to play her cards, he naturally had to be close to her. He placed one hand on the back of the chair under Xu Gui and reached out with the other hand to help her arrange the cards.

From the front, it looked as if he was half-embracing Xu Gui, and the two appeared extremely close. However, the two involved seemed unaware that something was amiss. Viewers in the live stream, however, had something to say about this scene:

[These two faces together are just too convincing! One face like that is one thing, but two!!! Ahhh, as someone who appreciates good looks, this scene is absolutely pleasing to the eye!]

[These two faces together are just too much to handle. Actually, I've been wondering before, does Mr. Lu have some other feelings for our little turtle? The atmosphere between them is just really off.]

[I'm totally shipping this couple! Mysterious fortune teller x handsome young nobleman, who says this couple isn't good? This couple is just too good!]

[CP, get out of here!!! Our little turtle is beautiful on her own, don't let any stinky or fragrant men get involved, okay?]

...

The live stream chat was a mess, with CP (couple) fans suddenly appearing and shipping each other wildly.

While the live stream chat was in chaos, the situation on the mahjong table had already changed dramatically. In just over forty minutes, Fu Xia's second cousin's face was covered with notes. On the other hand, apart from Xu Gui, the other two also had notes stuck to their faces.

Only Xu Gui was allowed to return.

At first glance, Xu Gui's face was spotless, without a single piece of paper in sight, looking incredibly clean and refreshed.

"This is not scientific!" Second cousin exclaimed. How could he, a master mahjong player, be unable to beat a novice? Is this what they call a novice buff?

Although Fu Xia also had several notes stuck to her face, she was in a better position than her second cousin. Looking at her second cousin's frantic expression, she chuckled and asked:

"A master of mahjong?"

"Unbeatable at the mahjong table?"

"You want to utterly defeat the three of us?"

As she continued to ask questions, the second cousin's face gradually turned green—these were the very words he had said before the fight started, and now they were all turning into slaps back at his own face.

Second cousin: Yeah, my face hurts.

Meanwhile, Xu Gui said with a refreshing expression, "This mahjong is actually quite simple!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Baiyi smiled.

Fu Xia exclaimed, "Your luck is just too good! You always get the best cards. It's like the cards are free-range; they give you exactly what you need!" This incredible luck is simply absurd.

Yuan Lu couldn't help but nod—she was the one who lost the most miserably after her second cousin.

Upon hearing this, Xu Gui raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but glance at Lu Baiyi beside him.

Luck...

She pondered those three words.

Unfortunately, what she and Lu Boyi had in abundance was luck. Putting aside her, Lu Boyi's luck alone was enough to ensure that he would win every time he gambled.

Thinking this, she leaned closer to Lu Baiyi and whispered, "Have you ever played mahjong before?"

Lu Baiyi nodded and answered in a low voice, "Yes."

Xu Gui asked curiously, "What about winning or losing?"

Lu Baiyi looked at her and said, "I've never lost."

He's always been lucky, and that luck is true at the mahjong table too. At first, some people didn't believe it, but later... later no one wanted to play mahjong with him anymore.

really!

Having received the answer he had imagined, Xu Gui looked satisfied.

Just as my second cousin was dejected and gritting his teeth, shouting that he wanted to come again, a gasp came from the group of people fishing over there.

Xu Gui and the others couldn't help but look over there.

"It seems like something's happened over there?" Fu Xia said. "Shall we go check it out?"

Xu Gui and the others had no objections, so the four of them put down the mahjong tiles, tore off the paper strips from their faces, and walked over there. When they got closer, they saw the fishermen leaning on the railing of the ship, looking down at the ship.

"What are you doing?" my second cousin asked as he came over.

My older cousin looked up, pointed to the sea below the ship, and said, "There's a huge turtle down there, it looks like it's following us."

What a huge turtle!

Xu Gui and the others became curious and stood in front of the railing, peering down.

As the cameraman, Yang Haolin astutely pointed his lens at the sea below. As the ship sailed, a huge shadow moved across the snow-like water.

"Wow, it really is a giant turtle!"
