Free Web NovelChapter 140: Chapter 61: Becoming a Disciple_3
If he actually had a Heavenly Win + 7 Pairs, they probably wouldn’t need to play cards again for the rest of the month, no, for the next three months!
Luckily, at that moment, the trio saw Exterminator Thirteen jump up.
And the words he shouted aloud made them feel as if a large stone had been lifted from their chests.
"What are you doing?! False declaration is going to cost us three houses’ worth of money!"
Good, good! Turns out it was a false win! x3
The three men felt immensely relieved.
"?"
But Decision pointed to his own cards and challenged,"Look carefully, where exactly did I declare a false win?"
"This is clearly a.....huh?"
Exterminator Thirteen was all set to get angry, but upon closer inspection discovered the error of his perception.
South Winds + 2 Red Dragon + 2 8 of Bamboo + 2 5 of Bamboo + 2 1 of Characters + 2 9 of Dots
The Bamboo piece and East Wind, were still covered.
"Did I say that I won?"
He shrugged.
Indeed, at a general card table, a win can be declared only when both the Discard and Declaration of Win actions have been made.
Firstly, Decision did not declare a win, secondly he still had two cards covered, so he did not discard.
So this genuinely cannot be considered a false declaration.
"Then, why did you just ask for the point count for Heavenly Win + 7 Pairs?"
One of the ladies asked, somewhat aggrieved.
"What, so I can’t ask?" freewēbnoveℓ.com
"Uh...."x4
In the end, with one sentence, Decision left all four players speechless.
Yeah, after all it’s something others might ask. There were in fact no rules forbidding that.
"Then, why did you reveal the 6 pairs?"
Exterminator Thirteen was still puzzled.
"Just let them know that I am ready."
Decision was candid.
"Huh?"
"Your understanding capacity is really rotten, East Wind."
Without further explanations, he discarded a card.
Exterminator Thirteen did want to ask more, but he immediately discovered why Decision had taken such actions.
Because at this time, the faces of the three other players were looking rather grim, especially the person sitting to the right of Decision. He was intensely knitting his brows and occasionally glancing at those 6 pairs of revealed cards. It seemed like he was now calculating very carefully about what card to throw out first.
(So that’s it!)
(They’re all afraid of setting off a ’bomb’!)
Exterminator Thirteen, who had an epiphany, looked at Decision with admiration.
Because of this very move, the mental state of the other three players changed completely.
Nobody wants to trigger a bomb. They were even willing to give up shaping up their hand so as not to trigger the bomb, even if it meant losing!
It has to be admitted, this psychological battle really made them submit.
Before watching Decision play, he had never thought that Mahjong could be played like this!
Initially, each player at the table were experienced, their moves on point and quick.
But at this time, they were being almost as slow as if they had been put under a slow motion spell. They took quite a lot of time to think and finally each played a card that they thought was safe and won’t set off a bomb.
"One stick."
On the other hand, Decision was able to easily discard a card — quite carelessly easy.
Now, both one stick and East Wind had been discarded, making Exterminator Thirteen feel a sudden itch.
Because he really wanted to know what tile was hidden under Decision’s hand at present.
After another painful round, it was Decision’s turn to draw a card.
This time, he felt the card without even looking it, mimicking the style of experienced players.
"Huh?"
As he felt the card in his hand, his face brightened.
"Could it be that he won by self-draw?"
"He can’t seriously win by self-draw again, that would be too much."
"7 pairs self-drawn? My goodness!"
The trio felt like their hearts were now climbed up to their throats.
"Just fooling you all, Red Center."
In the end, Decision smiled and discarded that card.
"Gosh, I was literally scared to death!"
"Damn it, we were fooled by him."
"Thank goodness, he didn’t win by self-draw ...."
The trio felt like their nerves were being strung along by him.
But what had to be cautious, still had to be cautious.
So they make an individual agreement, they had all decided to abandon the effort of forming a hand, and directly throw out safe tiles. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
The proverb runs: "A dead monk cannot claim the Church elder title. No, I meant, Dead Money".
Who cares who’s going to lose money by setting off the bomb, as long as it’s not them!
Thus, under this kind of mentality, after a hard and hesitant round, it was Decision’s turn to draw a card.
This time was similar to last time, he first felt it in his hands.
However, a same tactic used against a veteran mahjong player couldn’t work twice. Thus the trio were already mentally prepared this time.
They thought that they must maintain their composure this time and wouldn’t let Decision succeed again.
But right then, Decision, holding the card, turned sideways to glance at Exterminator Thirteen.
"Being high and mighty feels good for a moment, but always being high and mighty feels even better."
"If you don’t act high and mighty while playing cards, then what cards are you even playing."
"Sorry everyone, I won by self-draw."
After saying that, he revealed the recently drawn card and the card that was previously covered.
Two South Winds, it was another set of two South Winds.
"!!!"
Exterminator Thirteen, who initially didn’t understand why Decision would say such words, now was so shocked that he was only inhaling and forgot to exhale.
"Whoa!!! It’s big 7 pairs self-drawn!!!"
The next second, it looked like he was about to jump up and touch the ceiling.
"What??? x3"
The other three instantly turned pale in disbelief.
Big 7 pairs refers to among the 7 pairs, two pairs are identical.
As it is even rarer than ordinary 7 pairs, the number of points awarded is double that of an ordinary 7 pairs!
Damn, their current mood can only be described as damn. Extremely damn.
It’s just like eating a fly while eating shit, anyway, it’s just damn.
Not only did the opponent act so high and mighty, he even won!
The combined effect of these two matters hit hard on the card table.
It could be said that in this round, Decision misted their morale completely.
Following this, they were in such a situation the rest of the night.
It wasn’t until one among the trio lost all their chips that the card game finally ended.
Experiencing the unprecedented thrill of winning, Exterminator Thirteen steps out of the Gambling House’s Main Gate and walks out into the street with a permanent smile on his face.
When the late night cold breeze blew, it pleased everyone’s mind and spirit.
After playing mahjong all night, Decision starts to find it boring and finally realized the game of Cube Card was more interesting.
He now followed Exterminator Thirteen from behind, walking down the empty street.
Just when they were about to reach Exterminator Thirteen’s Shabby House, Exterminator Thirteen suddenly stopped at the entrance of the alleyway.
He turned around with admiration in his eyes.
"That, Bro, could you please teach me how to act high and mighty, oops, I meant, play cards?"
"Huh?"
