Being in Detective Conan, being officially part of the organization is just too awesome!

Thus, Shirley could only helplessly begin to guess what kind of hand Lin Jiayou was waiting for...

Just now, Shirley saw that Lin Jiayou didn't have a single tile of the same suit (circles) in the hand he played. It was obvious he was trying to make a pure suit or a mixed suit of circles...

So, she guessed six of bamboo and five of bamboo in succession...

The result is obvious............................

She guessed none of them correctly.............................

Ugh--

Sherry sighed inwardly...

Two-player mahjong, though with novel rules, is ultimately a game of speed...

As long as you successfully complete your hand before your opponent, you're in a virtually invincible position.

Even if I correctly guessed Cherry's draw, it would still just be a draw...

Now look what happened, I guessed neither of them right, and can only watch Cherry's performance unfold...

As Lin Jiayou began preparing to draw cards, Shirley frowned, feeling somewhat uneasy...

Something's not right.........................

Judging from Cherry's discards, it's clear he's aiming for a pure suit or mixed suit in the circles...

Moreover, this guy hasn't had any "eat" or "pong" (meaning he's not using any special moves), and he's also played "one of bamboo" and "nine of bamboo" before...

It should be a middle-ranking hand that's ready to win...............................

I guessed six and five of bamboo. Whether Cherry is listening for three and six, six and nine, or even two and five and five and eight, he should win...

But now, not a single one has won...

If Cherry draws five cards in a row, things will be difficult for him...

Five cards in a row—how incredibly unlucky must one be to avoid drawing the winning tile themselves?

As expected..............................

"Self-touching—"

When Lin Jiayou drew the third tile, he gently pressed the tile down in his hand and uttered the words "self-draw."

"Riichi, Tsumo, Yakutsu..."

"2600 point."

"what?"

When Shirley heard Lin Jiayou announce the role, she was completely dumbfounded.......................

She took a closer look at the cards Lin Jiayou had pushed aside...

no........................

This guy doesn't want a mixed suit or a pure suit, does he?

He rigged a 10,000 yuan coin?!

"Why...why are you still keeping that ten thousand...?"

Sherry murmured in disbelief...

Cherry's hand, apart from the one of the ten thousand, consisted entirely of tiles of the same suit (circles and honors).........................

All you need to do is discard that 10,000 tile, then draw a suitable tile, and you'll achieve a mixed suit...

A hand with a flush (all tiles in one suit) is worth three points...

Cherry doesn't feel a thing about losing three taels of silver for no reason....................................

"Look, you're in such a hurry again..."

Lin Jiayou shook his head calmly.

Sherry curled her lip in disdain...

This guy doesn't want a grand slam of big names, he only wants a low-ranking player who's only double-doubled. That's really lacking in guts...

"Many novice players blindly pursue big hands,"

Lin Jiayou spoke calmly to Shirley.

"This is actually a misconception........."

"Especially in the rules of two-player mahjong, it's all about speed..."

"As long as I'm fast enough, you'll only be able to find yourself on the defensive..."

"Let alone whether I can draw the required tile later, even if I do, you could easily guess it..."

"Once you guess my winning hand, even the strongest hand of mine is essentially worthless..."

"This risk is unnecessary..."

"Why risk everything if we can proceed steadily and surely?"

"You're already convinced I'll go for either a pure suit or a mixed suit, so how could you possibly guess that I'm keeping this 10,000?"

"It can speed up the card-making process and prevent you from guessing the cards, killing two birds with one stone............................."

"Too.................................."

Sherry thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the case.

She truly hadn't considered the possibility of the number 10,000 at all....................................

It seems I still have a lot to learn...

Without saying much, the two immediately started another round...........................

In the next round, Lin Jiayou once again achieved a winning hand in the fastest time, without letting Shirley guess what hand she needed.

However, Miss Shirley, being a top-tier high-IQ individual, quickly gained sufficient experience from the game............................

She also imitated Lin Jiayou, starting to use the highest efficiency and fastest speed to get to her hand...

Of course, successfully drawing a winning hand doesn't guarantee a win.........................

Lin Jiayou successfully seized two opportunities and guessed what cards Ms. Shiho wanted............................

However, Lin Jiayou isn't omnipotent; there are times when he can't predict the future.

After an afternoon of practice, Shirley actually managed to hold her own against Lin Jiayou, going to a 30/70 split...

"good,"

Lin Chia-yu naturally expressed his great approval.

"Your mahjong talent far surpasses Chianti's..."

"Of course..."

Sherry proudly raised her head.

"Don't compare me to Chianti, I'm a fifteen-year-old doctor..."

"Fight with me a little longer, and then I can take you and Tequila to hang out..."

Seeing that Miss Shiho was now somewhat engrossed, Lin Jiayou pressed his advantage...

"Their style is completely different from mine..."

"Eh?"

Sherry was slightly taken aback.

"Does it still have a style?"

"certainly,"

Lin Jiayou nodded slightly.

"Everyone who plays cards a lot has their own style..."

"You just experienced my style..."

"When I play cards, I prioritize speed and stability. I don't necessarily aim for a big hand; I just want to get to the point of winning as quickly as possible, in the safest and most reliable way..."

"Um,"

Sherry nodded.

"That's certainly true..."

"What's the style of Tequila like?"

"I'm actually quite curious about Gin's playing style..."

"Tequila's playing style is somewhat similar to mine, but not exactly the same,"

Lin Jiayou thought for a moment, organized his thoughts, and gave Shirley a precise description.

"What he and I are similar in is our pursuit of fast-paced games, but..."

"He's very aggressive..."

"He's the kind of person who makes you clearly feel his attack..."

"Therefore, many times when he's close to winning, he takes a risky approach, preferring to try and catch other players' discards..."

"Hmm, it does resemble Tequila's bold and unrestrained style of doing things..."

Sherry listened to Lin Jiayou's words and made her comments.

Lin Jiayou nodded and continued speaking.

"As for Gin, he's completely different from us..."

"His card-playing style can be summed up in one word: it's simply..."

"As steady as a rock..."

"Um, what do you say?"

Sherry's lips twitched as she listened to Lin Jiayou's unequivocal criticism of Gin...

Lin Jiayou pursed his lips.

"Gin really enjoys observing other people's card-playing movements, micro-expressions, and even the placement of their cards, and then making judgments..."

"After reaching the conclusion, he didn't even consider using it for offense; instead, he chose to defend..."

"Unless the probability of safety is extremely high, you may not see gin and cards..."
