Superbase Evolution

Chapter 562: Entertainment Training
Lin Shen walked towards Tianshi Academy silently. On the way, people looked at him strangely, probably because the news of his fourth brother killing Qiao Geli had spread throughout the universe.

“Dean, your brother is really cruel. He killed Qiao Geli. But Qiao Geli was asking for death. He possessed the Burning Heaven Demon Fire but still stood there and let people suppress him. He is simply mentally retarded…” Chi Xinhuo, who was sitting in the security pavilion watching the gate, saw Lin Shen coming and said with a smile.

"It's indeed stupid." Lin Shen nodded.

Chi Xinhuo laughed: "Your brother has offended the Diman tribe so much, why don't you take this opportunity to recruit him into our Tianshi Academy? We Tianren tribe are not afraid of the Diman tribe. If the Diman tribe dares to come, I, Lao Huo, will be the first to stand up and deal with them. I feel that I have a good relationship with your brother. How about letting your brother come to my security department and let him be the deputy director?"

"Okay, when I see him, I will tell him exactly what you said and see if he is willing to come." Lin Shen changed the subject and said, "Lao Huo, is there a quick way to master your technique of catching loaches? I have been practicing for a long time but there is no effect. I can't develop the suction power of my palm."

"There is no quick way... It depends on your talent..." Chi Xinhuo thought for a moment and said, "But recently I have thought of a practice method that will make it less boring for you. I wonder if you, Dean, would like to try it?"

"What practice method?" Lin Shen asked.

"Play mahjong." Chi Xinhuo said seriously.

"Playing mahjong? How do you practice catching loaches while playing mahjong?" Lin Shen immediately became interested and asked Chi Xinhuo curiously.

Chi Xinhuo looked around like a thief. Seeing that no one was around, he lowered his voice and whispered in Lin Shen's ear, "Dean, this matter cannot be known to outsiders. It can only be known between you and me. It must not be known to a third person, let alone other people in this academy. If you agree, I will teach you the method."

"I promise you, I will never let this matter out." Lin Shen became even more curious.

"Let's go to your office and don't let anyone else see us." Chi Xinhuo took Lin Shen into the office, closed the doors and windows, and then took out a deck of mahjong tiles from his body like a magic trick.

"Why do you have a deck of mahjong cards on you?" Lin Shen was stunned. He couldn't imagine how Chi Xinhuo did it. It was impossible to see it at ordinary times.

"Hehe, I applied the technique of catching loaches to playing cards. Playing cards is practicing martial arts, and practicing martial arts is playing cards..." Chi Xinhuo slowly demonstrated to Lin Shen.

Lin Shen's eyes widened as he watched. With his eyesight, if Chi Xinhuo's speed was faster, he wouldn't be able to tell what Chi Xinhuo did.

After Chi Xinhuo demonstrated it once, Lin Shen understood why he always lost when playing cards with Chi Xinhuo before.

This Lao Liu actually used the method of catching loaches to cheat, such as stealing cards, hiding cards, and stacking cards and changing cards. It was too easy for Chi Xinhuo.

It can be said that Chi Xinhuo completely integrated his method of catching loaches into the cheating skills of playing cards. It is just like what he said, playing cards is practicing martial arts, and practicing martial arts is playing cards.

Lin Shen couldn’t practice it before because it was too boring. Now, after being taught by the sixth master Chi Xinhuo, Lin Shen found that this thing is really interesting.

Playing cards seriously, with Lin Shen's card skills, it depends on luck whether he can win.

But with Chi Xinhuo's skill in catching loaches, he is God's will.

Chi Xinhuo asked Lin Shen to have a try. The more Lin Shen played, the more interesting it became. Before he knew it, he had mastered the technique of catching loaches.

"Lao Huo, it's no fun for the two of us to play. Go get the logistics director and Vice President Qiao so we can play together." Lin Shen said to Chi Xin Huo. "They are very cunning. You just started. Don't let them see through your flaws." Chi Xin Huo said anxiously.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I won't win against them by a large margin." Lin Shen was full of confidence. He might be slow to learn general techniques, but he felt he was about to master this technique as soon as he got started.

Chi Xinhuo thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll get Vice President An over here too, and the four of you can fight. If we all fight together, it will be too easy for them to figure out what we're doing."

"Okay." Lin Shen nodded. Anyway, he just wanted to try this method and didn't really want to win money.

"You practice more, I'll go call them over. Don't miss any chance. If they find out, I'll be finished." Chi Xinhuo reminded him again and again before leaving.

After a while, Logistics Minister Cole, Vice Dean An and Vice Dean Qiao were called over by Chi Xinhuo.

These few people were old friends, and Lin Shen had played cards with them before. Mahjong was something Lin Shen brought to Tianshi Academy.

After the four people started playing, Lin Shen used the loach catching technique carefully. He did not steal cards or change cards. He mainly used the loach catching technique to arrange the cards when shuffling.

I originally thought that with my skills, I would definitely win, as long as I controlled myself from winning too much.

But after a few rounds, Lin Shen found that he was not as dominant as he had expected. Later, he even used some card-changing techniques, but still did not win much. When it was time for dinner and the game ended, he had only won a few dollars.

"Something's wrong, what's going on?" When everyone was leaving, Lin Shen called out to the logistics director. He was the only person who won money in this round.

"Cole, when we were playing cards just now, I felt that something was wrong with your eyes. Did you cheat?" Lin Shen asked Cole.

Cole chuckled and said, "Dean, which of us cheated? Don't you know?"

"What do you mean?" Lin Shen frowned slightly.

"Dean, other people may not be able to see Lao Huo's abilities, but they can be seen by my sharp eyes. In such a short time, you have learned most of Lao Huo's abilities. You are already very strong." Cole pointed out directly.

"How did you know that?" Lin Shen didn't feel embarrassed and asked Cole.

Cole smiled and said, "I'm in charge of logistics. I don't have any other skills except accounting. When our Tianshi Academy was still doing well, I had all the accounts of the logistics department memorized in my head. I even remembered how many screws there were in the warehouse. I've never made a mistake in the accounts for two or three hundred years. I can remember how many cards there are in a mahjong deck. I can remember which card is in which position and what cards you have in your hands. I know everything very well."

"You can." Lin Shen was a little surprised. He really envied such memory.

"It's just a cheap little trick, thank you for the compliment, Dean." Cole said this, but his face showed great pride.

"That's not right. When I shuffled the cards, I changed their positions. Even if you have a good memory, it's impossible for you to remember them all correctly." Lin Shen stared at Cole and said.
