Things from Another World - Chapter 1160
[1160. Chapter 1158 The Quintessence of the Nation]
Everyone in Hanging Ax Castle knew that Gray Eddie was an uneducated bastard, but this bastard lived a very cool life, which always made many people envious and jealous.
This is all because Gray Eddie is a very good Gwent master.
In Purandar, the Gwent card created by the boring magicians in the Star and Moon Tower is almost the only kind of national entertainment. Due to the large number of participants, some limited-edition rare cards can often be found in the hobby. Among them, it was sold at a very high price.
And Gray’s means of survival is gambling.
Relying on his superb skills, he wins the rare cards that his opponents put as bets, and then sells them to others at a high price, or asks his opponents to redeem them at a price that is 10% or 20% higher. This time, he gets nothing. Wolf has made a lot of money, and he has no family burden, so he lives a very free and easy life.
Recently, Gray had been living in a brothel for a while, and all the money he had on hand was spent, so he decided to go out and find some fat sheep to get some money.
After spending half a month in the brothel, Gray suddenly walked out. Looking at the faintly green land, he felt as if he was in another world.
Gray wandered to the place where Gwent fans often gather. It was a tavern called “White Wolf House”. Gwent fans in Hanging Axe Castle often spent their free time after work. Gather here and learn from each other.
“Hey!”
Gray opened the door of the tavern with a joking smile: “Uncle Eddie is here! Why don’t you come and greet him?” “
Gray?”
The customers in the tavern looked at Gray in surprise: “Are you still alive? We thought you died in that bitch Delia’s belly!”
“What nonsense are you talking about! It’s not like you don’t know my abilities. That bitch Delia is no match for me at all. In the end, she even threw her The little sisters were called over before they could barely cope with me.”
Gray looked proud: “They were so comfortable that they didn’t want me to leave, and they didn’t even want money. If I hadn’t insisted on clearing the money and goods, I wouldn’t have anything to do with them. Emotionally entangled, I can even eat, drink and sleep there for free.”
“Hahahaha, here it comes again! Gray Eddie’s bragging time!” “
So what do you guys, who are only jealous, have to say? I don’t even understand, come on, stop talking nonsense, I haven’t played cards for half a month, and now my hands are itchy, who will play a game with me? If I push a leader-level epic card, who will take over?”
Gray took out his bait, a rare gold card of Jean Augustine Lord of the Star and Moon. For Gwent fans, the rarest, most popular and the most expensive is the rare card of Aegwynn Crescent Moon Silver Blade. Gold cards, those who can get them are the lucky ones. They are all valuable but not marketable on the black market. The next one is Jean Augustine Lord of the Stars and Moon, who has even been sold for more than 10,000 gold on the black market. high price.
Those Gwent fans looked at the shining golden leader card in Gray’s hand, their faces full of envy and jealousy. At first, they thought that Gray’s ability to draw this card from the card pack would have ruined his life’s luck. It was all used up – but in the end, Gray used this card to catch a lot of big fish and made huge profits one after another.
The proud Gray shook the golden leader card in his hand. This card was always beneficial and would never let him down. He should be able to make a fortune today. Gray licked his lips.
However, something strange happened. He waited for a long time and no one answered. Those guys didn’t take the bait out of jealousy?
Gray took a closer look and found that the guys were all gathered in front of a table, watching something with great interest. From time to time, he could hear words like “eat” and “touch” coming from inside.
Gray squeezed in: “What are you looking at?…Huh? What is this?”
“You don’t know? Oh, you haven’t been out at Delia’s recently, no wonder.”
A person next to him smiled .
Said: “This is called Dragon’s Treasure, but there is also a common name called Mahjong. It is a new game that His Majesty Tang En uses for ordinary people like us to kill time after work.”
In order to be more down-to-earth, Tang En changed the name of Mahjong The cards were slightly changed, the rope tiles were changed to flying dragons, the tube tiles were changed to gold coins, and the name was changed to a more acceptable name, while retaining the common name of mahjong.
“Dragon’s Treasure? Mahjong? What does it mean?”
“Well, the rules are written there. You’ll understand after looking at them. It’s not difficult. Everyone is tired of playing Gwent. Recently, everyone is very interested in this game. It’s just that mahjong is too hard to buy now, so Bai Lang only got this one set. Fortunately, a set of cards can be played by four people.”
At this point, the man laughed again: “Speaking of which, there are also One of the biggest advantages is that you don’t have to buy card packs. There are always 136 cards, which saves a lot of expenses.”
Gray briefly looked at the rules. The 136 cards means that the dragon guards the treasure. Players have to rely on Use the cards in your hand to seize Shenlong’s treasure, 1 to 9 dragon (cord), 1 to 90,000, 1 to 9 gold (tube), you have to make up three groups of three straights or the same shot and a group of pairs of cards to win, and This is only the basic way to win, and there are various tricks on top of it…
Gray raised his eyebrows. This rule seems very simple at first glance, but considering the number of players, the number of cards and the cards played by different players Styles and different ways to win, there are so many changes in them?
This thing is definitely much harder than Gwent!
And if a game is easy to learn but difficult to master, it means that this game will be very playable!
That’s not good…
Gray muttered, if these people all like this new game and no one continues to play Gwent, wouldn’t he lose the means to survive?
Maybe the value of this rare leader card in your hand will also be greatly reduced.
No, you must learn about this thing as soon as possible. If it can really threaten the status of Gwent, the rare cards you have hoarded must be sold as soon as possible!
“Three dragons…”
The player on the card table just pushed out a card, and the player below immediately shouted: “Eat!”
Then the three dragons flew into Xia Jia’s hands with a swish, and Xia Jia smiled brightly and typed out a blank board.
The opponent’s eyes lit up: “Bump!”
He flipped his hands and he was holding two white boards. Now he had three white boards. After looking at the cards, he grinned and played a flying dragon (one rope). , and then withdrew the card: “I heard the card.”
What he didn’t expect was that he had just listened to the cards, and when the player next to him touched the cards, he laughed and pushed the cards: “Four golds! Touch it yourself! I’m crazy!” “
What!? How is it possible!? You don’t have it!” It’s called listening to cards!?”
“The rules don’t seem to say that you have to listen to cards, right?”
The man picked his nose and said angrily: “Don’t even think about refusing to pay! Pay up quickly!”
The other three people had to hold their noses and pay. Money, each person gave him ten coppers.
Huh!
?
Gray’s eyes lit up when he was worried: “One person wins, and three people pay for it!? This is good!”
In the past, playing Gwent was one-on-one, and you could only win by one person, but now this kind of mahjong can be played once If you win three people, you will receive three shares of the money!
“Only for self-drawing, three people will pay. If you click the gun…oh, it means that the card you played happens to be the card that others want to win…and you want to win, that is, you pay alone, as if you have collected four cards. If you have the right cards, you can use it, and the reward will be doubled.”
The reward can also be doubled!
?
Gray’s eyes brightened even more, His Majesty Tang En is a good person!
Do you know that our money comes in too slowly, so we came up with this new trick?
?
“I’ll do it, I’ll do it!”
Seeing that they were about to take the next shot, Gray hurriedly stepped forward.
“You?”
Several people at the table glanced at him sideways: “Eddie, we’re not talking about you, we can’t beat you in Gwent, but you haven’t played mahjong yet, right? Do you have money?” “
No money. “
Gray said cheerfully: “But I have Gwent! I can use the cards to pay off the bill, is that okay?” “
Oh? Is it the Lord of Stars and Moon!?”
Although a few people don’t play Gwent much recently. , but rare cards are still attractive.
“You think I’m stupid!”
Gray took out an ordinary copper card: “You guys don’t play much, so it’s worth it.”
Several people looked at each other and sneered: “Okay, card Just cards, if you don’t lose all your winnings today, we will take your last name!”
The card game soon started, and Gray silently recalled the rules in his mind while touching the cards, looking at the cards in his hand. .
Yes, the cards are very good and the winning rate is very high!
Gray smiled, but before he could draw the first card, he saw the dealer grinning: “I’m sorry, everyone, let’s start the next round!”
After that, he pushed the cards directly.
“What!? It’s the legendary Tianhu!?”
“I’ve only seen it in the rules. This is the first time I’ve seen someone touch it!”
The two people muttered while taking out money: “What are you doing? Luck! I seriously suspect that you have overdrawn your good luck this year!”
Gray looked blank, Tianhu?
Is there anything else to say?
“Thank you, thank you, haha!”
The dealer took away Gray’s cards without hesitation, with a proud smile on his face.
Damn it!
How could you lose in such an unscientific way!
“Come again!”
In the second round, Gray still lost.
The third hand, the fourth hand, the fifth hand…
Gray kept losing cards. Seeing that it was getting dark, he had almost lost all the Gwent cards in his hand, and he had already begun to use rare cards, but on his face But there is still no trace of anxiety, but a thoughtful expression.
“Haha, I’ve wanted this rare trap card of yours for a long time! I just accepted it!”
“Yeah.”
Gray suddenly smiled: “Take it away, you will return it to me soon anyway.”
” What nonsense are you talking about! How many times have you won today?”
“Stop talking nonsense and start the next one.”
Gray smiled brightly and began to shuffle the cards actively.
He has discovered the so-called secret of mahjong.
Listen to the opponent, watch the opponent, guard against the opponent, remember the cards carefully, and play the cards carefully, that’s all!
Starting today is the day when a new mahjong god, Gray Eddie, rises!
