Ita Era

Chapter 7 Peach Blossom Village (Part 5)
In the first round, the third aunts competed for attention. Ding Shi determined that the third aunt was very skilled at playing mahjong, and could roughly remember the cards that had been played, but she did not cheat.

In the second round, Ding Shi drew a tile, but instead of looking at it directly, he rubbed it with his thumb and flipped it over: "Win! Riichi, no terminal tiles, self-draw, one dowager, four points." When he self-drawn, everyone had to pay money, and each person gave a chip representing 4 mao (0.4 yuan).

Next, there were wins and losses, and everyone had a great time. The village chief's daughter-in-law brought over food, and Aunt Wang's husband also brought lunch for the three aunts. After a half-hour rest, everyone continued the game.

In the eighth round, Ding Shi won half a dollar. He got a little bored, so he started paying attention to shuffling the cards. He used the card arrangement tool to rearrange the positions of several cards and then rolled the dice to get the desired number.

Aunt Wang: "East wind."

Ding Shi: "Bang!"

Aunt Li: "West Wind".

Ding Shi: "Bang!"

Aunt Zhang: "South wind."

Ding Shi: "Bang!"

Aunt Wang: "North wind."

Ding Shi: "Bang!"

The three aunts immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Ding Shi only had one card left in his hand, and he could win if he got the same card. But winning this round was not the key. The key was Ding Shi's hand. If Ding Shi won, it would be a Big Four Winds or a Big Four Winds plus a suit of honors, which is the highest multiplier Yakuman.

How could an ordinary person possibly be a match for a master gambler? To put it bluntly, their understanding of gambling is on a completely different level.

At Ding Shi, the player draws a tile and flips it over: "Self-draw, Big Four Winds." The hand is full, worth 75 times the bet, and each player pays 7.5 dollars. The game ends after each round.

As Ding Shi collected his chips, he chuckled to himself, "It's over, it's over, I've used up all my luck."

The three aunties responded with casual smiles, but their expressions turned quite unpleasant.

Ding Shi was the champion for the fourth round, and Ding Shi hit the bird.

In the fifth round, Ding Shi drew the winning tile himself.

After the cards fell down, the three aunts sighed, "A pure suit." Six times.

Ding Shi corrected, "No, it's the Nine Lotus Lantern." The Nine Lotus Lantern, in addition to being made of uniform materials, also requires a dragon. (Full strength: 75 times)

Four hidden engravings, full credits, 75x.

Grand Slam, full credit, 75x.

Just as the three aunts were about to kill Ding Shi, Ding Shi once again unleashed his ultimate skill, "Peerless Hero," which was now at its maximum power and had a multiplier of 75.

"I'm not playing anymore." I still want to play even after losing, but after losing too many times, it's pointless to play anymore.

Ding Shi smiled and accepted the chips: "Thank you, three aunties." The next step was to pay. Five yakuman, nearly 400 dollars, could buy 400 rolls of toilet paper.

Aunt Wang looked at Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li, and the three exchanged glances for a while. Then Aunt Wang said, "Little Ding."

“Yes, Aunt Wang,” Ding Shi replied obediently.

Aunt Wang: "How come you play cards so well?"

Ding Shi: "Heaven has blessed me with this." Muggles don't know what a magician is.

Aunt Wang said, "Little Ding, to be honest, we aunties don't have that much money. Each of us only has 10 dollars in our pockets." Ding asked awkwardly, "Then what do you mean, Aunt Wang?" He had seen gamblers who asked for discounts, and usually these gamblers would be beaten until their bones were broken.

Aunt Wang said, "Well, when we were young, the three of us sisters were digging for wild vegetables in the mountains when we unexpectedly came across a place."

Ding Shi asked, "A place?"

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "There was a lot of gold and silver inside, but you know, in those days, people who had gold and silver were bad people, so we handed it over to the authorities as soon as possible."

Ding Shi understood that it referred to tomb raiding, and asked, "So what does Auntie mean?"

Aunt Wang glanced around furtively and whispered, "But we secretly kept a jade pendant."

Ding Shi said, "A jade tablet belonging to a dead person?" with disdain.

"Take a look first." Aunt Wang winked at Aunt Li, who immediately went upstairs, fiddled around for a while, and then came down with a box.

The box was an ordinary metal vanity case. Inside, there was a plastic box containing an object about the size of a playing card. This object had nothing to do with jade, but its material was far beyond what modern craftsmanship could produce.

Ding Shi picked up the jade object, which was presumably jade. Aunt Wang said, "The front is auspicious and lucky, and the back is auspicious with dragons and phoenixes. If you take it out to sell, you can easily get a hundred dollars."

Ding Shi saw something different. Special Skill Card: Three Missing One.

After using the skill, the three closest intelligent beings within a ten-meter radius will be forcibly pulled into the game. This skill can be used once every 24 hours.

The explanation is very detailed. Simply put, it's about playing mahjong. During the game, you are invincible in your domain, invincible among your fellow players, and invincible in the game itself. Each player has 10 seconds to draw and discard a tile, and one point is deducted for every second exceeded.

Mahjong is played in rounds, and the scoring rules follow the Japanese mahjong system. Scoring is done after each round. Assume Ding Shi has the highest score, and this skill has no side effects, meaning no items can be obtained. If Ding Shi has 5 points, A has 7 points, B has 6 points, and C has 3 points, then A can obtain Ding Shi's items based on the score difference plus the difference in strength between A and Ding Shi.

Assuming A is human, he can take a certain amount of money or cards from Ding Shi's card slot; the amount he can take depends entirely on the difference in points. Assuming A is the big boss, he might take a body part of Ding Shi, or even Ding Shi's life.

After A takes their turn, B starts taking their turn. C, who has the lowest score, suffers no loss.

The skill cannot be activated if there are fewer than 3 intelligent beings within 10 meters.

The system explains the criteria for determining intelligent beings: beings capable of independent thought and possessing learning or imitation abilities.

Special note: Cheating by violating the rules is not permitted.

Clicking "More Explanation" in the system provides numerous examples. You should draw card A, but you skillfully swap card A with card B; this is considered cheating. If you draw card A and have the skill to change it into card B, this is not considered cheating. However, the resulting card must be logical; otherwise, it will be considered cheating.

For example: If you already have four twos, and then create another two, that's cheating.

Ding Shi thought to himself, "Is this explanation too detailed?" Too much detail means there are no loopholes to exploit, and as an open criminal, he doesn't like overly strict rules.

Ding Shi held the jade token, looking troubled: "Aunties, this is too little. Why don't you each give some more?"

Aunt Wang was very decisive. She took out five knives and put them on the table: "That's all, not a single penny left."

After negotiation, the three aunts each took a small amount of money, and Ding Shi received the "Three Missing One" skill card, with a bank card balance of $17.9.

When Ding Shi placed the "Three Missing One" card into the skill card slot, the system prompted: "Binding? Once placed in the slot, the special card becomes your exclusive property and cannot be traded." Ding Shi readily bound it. The system explained the requirements for activating the card, commonly known as the pre-cast animation. Since this was a special card, the skill would activate as soon as Ding Shi shouted "Three Missing One."

"That's it, that's it." The three aunties ended their card game.

Task completed, excellent quality, earned 0.4 dollars.
