Merlin said, his eyes revealing a trace of disdain, "Now this trend is getting stronger and stronger. The six empires have begun to prepare to build duel theaters specifically for the nobles to watch legendary duels. The scale is bigger and bigger, and the interior is more luxurious, just to cater to the hobbies of these nobles."
Merlin paused, put down the cards, and looked more helpless. "What's even more ridiculous is that after investigation, it was found that these nobles were simply brainless when they really played Arena of Valor. They blindly pursued legendary cards, stubbornly believing that the most expensive must be the best. They spent a lot of money to collect those rare cards, thinking that they could be invincible with these "rare cards". What's the result? After the real duel started, I was beaten badly by those civilian players using decks like Oil Rogue, T7 Hunter, Fireball Mage, etc. I had no power to fight back and the gaming experience was extremely bad. But even so, they still enjoy spending money, which has contributed a lot of profits to me. "
As he was talking, Merlin caught a glimpse of something out the window, and a smile instantly broke out on his face. He stood by the window, looking at Stacy and Yuna who were walking towards the municipal office, with a sly look in his eyes. He turned to Alex and smiled, "So, I got these nobles something that can help them pass the time. This time, I want to see if they can still spare some time."
Alex followed Merlin's gaze and saw that Stacy and Yuna were walking lightly. He couldn't help but wonder: What trick has Merlin come up with this time?
Stacy and Yuna walked into the mayor's office with brisk steps, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became subtle.
Electrolux's expression became complicated for a moment, his eyes fell straight on Yuna, and his mind involuntarily emerged that she had relied on her own strength to cause the decline of the entire Alves family. Her fierceness and courage in the business battlefield still made him feel frightened.
Yuna seemed not to notice. She walked quickly to Merlin's side and took his arm with a foxy and charming smile. She said coquettishly, "Junior, the things you asked us to make are ready. I have been exhausted these days, going to the alchemy workshop all day long. The pungent smell of the potion makes my head hurt and my body can't stand it. Is there any reward?"
Before he finished speaking, Stacie was not willing to be outdone. She stepped forward quickly with lotus feet, took Merlin's other arm, and with a bit of jealousy in her eyes, she stared closely at Yuna, the charming fire fox, and retorted: "Senior, it's not that tiring. The president has arranged everything properly. We are just there to supervise. Don't exaggerate."
Merlin looked at the two women who were like vindictive kittens, and with some reluctance, he gently pulled his arm away, straightened his expression, and asked, "Did you get what I wanted?"
"How heartless, talking about work right away." Yuna pretended to be aggrieved, her eyes slightly red, but she moved her hand nimbly, and the space ring on her fingertips flashed a faint light, and then a peculiarly shaped square table slowly appeared in front of everyone.
The tabletop of this square table is made of magic crystal that emits a mysterious blue light. It is crystal clear, and under the faint light, a strange light flows inside.
The table legs are made of hard black ironwood and are carved with intricate and exquisite runes. These runes are not decorations, but continuously running magic circuits that emit a faint golden glow.
A gleam of satisfaction flashed in Merlin's eyes. He gently stroked the edge of the mahjong machine, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth. He was already thinking about how to use this new gadget to completely "fall" those idle nobles.
"So, junior, what on earth is this thing?" Yuna tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of confusion.
Alex and Stacy were also attracted by Yuna's words and turned their gazes to Merlin at the same time, with curiosity and expectation intertwined in their eyes.
In their eyes, Merlin can always come up with all kinds of new and interesting gadgets, and this time is no exception. This square table-like object that appeared out of thin air obviously hides an unknown mystery.
Merlin raised his lips in a mysterious smile, and after keeping everyone in suspense, he said slowly, "This thing is called a Mahjong machine."
As he spoke, his slender fingers gently pressed a flickering switch button on the mahjong machine.
"Mahjong machine? What is a mahjong machine?"
Just when everyone was full of doubts, as Merlin pressed the switch, they heard a low and rhythmic "buzzing" sound coming from inside the mahjong machine, followed by a crisp and intensive "clattering" sound of shuffling the cards.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the mahjong machine. In the secret compartment under the table, brilliant magical lights flickered and intertwined. It was the magic power that drove the shuffling of cards.
The magic circle was like a living thing, spinning and changing rapidly, drawing sets of mahjong tiles into it and stirring them wantonly.
After a while, the shuffled mahjong tiles were slowly pushed up from an exquisite groove on the edge of the table in an orderly manner, like well-trained soldiers.
"President Merlin, what on earth is this?" Alex looked at the complicated magic circuits on the table and the magic circle under the table, his mouth twitching slightly. This wonderful structure is actually used to shuffle cards?
"Didn't I tell you that this is a mahjong machine, and what's on it is mahjong." Merlin smiled cheerfully.
Merlin knows very well that in the small world of mahjong, no matter how many explanations are given, they are pale and powerless. Only by experiencing it personally can one truly appreciate the subtlety and fun of it.
After all, Mahjong is neither difficult nor too difficult. The simple basic rules can be understood with a little explanation. But it is also neither easy nor too easy. The strategies, skills and various variations involved may not be exhausted even if you play for a lifetime.
So, Merlin smiled and asked the three of them to sit down next to the mahjong machine. His eyes showed confidence and expectation, and he was ready to start this mahjong teaching journey full of surprises.
Mahjong originated in China, where it has a very long history. Over the years, it has become more mellow and charming.
However, due to the vast territory of China, different places have different customs and cultures, and even the rules and number of mahjong are not exactly the same.
The first game was a teaching game, so Merlin turned over the mahjong tiles on the mahjong machine and showed them to the three of them and explained them one by one.
