The Saintess and the Unforgettable Story Between Her and Mahjong
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan did not slow down, but was secretly pleased.
Fearless? If you're truly fearless, why are you spouting nonsense here?
However, he couldn't say it like that. His expression was indifferent as he replied quietly, "If there is no fear, why say more?"
"I am indeed no match for you, the Holy Son."
"They do have self-awareness."
The Holy Son whispered, "I have thirty-six powers to rely on."
Lin Fan chuckled subtly, without turning his head. "I only have the Merit Golden Ring."
The Holy Son's expression turned slightly grim. "I possess the Ten Thousand Stars Art, which can attract the power of myriad stars to protect myself."
"I have the Merit Golden Ring." Lin Fan was like a merciless repeating machine.
"I possess the Word Secret' technique. If you master it to the end, you can achieve the ultimate speed in the world."
"I have Merit Golden Ring."
"I possess a family-inherited body-refining technique, making me impervious to all magic!"
"I possess the Merit Golden Ring..."
Holy Son: "..."
(# ̄~ ̄#)!!!
He was so frustrated he felt like throwing up. No matter what he said, Qi Zixiao kept saying the same thing, which made him incredibly annoyed, but he didn't know how to refute her.
In terms of skill and technique, my own abilities are indeed inferior to those of the Merit Golden Ring.
Although the Merit Golden Ring is not a cultivation technique, this thing is incredibly powerful in its passive ability!
It really can't compare...
"You only possess the Merit Golden Ring to catch Holy Son eye. Do you have anything else besides that?!"
Ultimately, the Holy Son decided to fight back.
If it can't compare to the Merit Golden Ring, then I'm not going to bother with this stuff, okay?!
Lin Fan nodded honestly and held up what he was holding. "Um... I have the Sky Gazing Mirror."
Holy Son: "()..."
"You should talk about the Merit Golden Ring instead..."
"I have Merit Golden Ring."
This guy really did say it; he was extremely 'honest'.
He vomited blood!!!
Enraged, the Holy Son left, refusing to travel with Lin Fan any further. He was genuinely afraid that if he continued talking to ' Qi Zixiao,' he would vomit blood and die.
Watching the Holy Son's rapidly departing figure, Lin Fan's lips curled into a smile.
That's it?
"You still want to argue with me? Tsk tsk tsk."
"Zixiao!"
The Holy Son had just left when Mo Daolin's voice suddenly rang in Lin Fan's mind.
"Don't stop, pretend nothing happened."
"Master?"
Lin Fan wasn't particularly shocked. It was just a matter of transmitting his voice over a distance; it was a piece of cake for such a big shot.
But Mo Daolin's mysterious actions piqued his curiosity.
but...
Mo Daolin's words had a 'cool' tone, making it impossible to understand them instantly.
We could only listen to his intermittent, quiet narration.
"Listen to me."
"..."
"If someone asks you why you can attract heavenly merit."
"..."
"The Tao Te Ching is worth discussing."
"..."
"However, if someone asks you about the General Principles of Daoist Arts Under Heaven, you must say that you have already given them to your master."
"Hiss~~~"
Lin Fan gasped. Was this the longest sentence Mo Daolin had ever uttered in one breath? So... he really did feel sorry for himself... ugh, he felt sorry for Qi Zixiao!
"Yes, Master."
Mo Daolin's words were fragmented and incomplete, but Lin Fan was not stupid and naturally understood what he meant.
Simply put, it's the fear of being targeted.
In the Cultivation World, there has been no instance of heavenly merit descending for millions of years, let alone the gathering of Merit Golden Ring.
Who wouldn't be interested in something this amazing?
Let alone outside the Holy Land, even within the Holy Land, many people probably have their own ulterior motives.
"In my view, the Tao Te Ching from the General Principles of Daoist Arts Under Heaven, which is why Lao Mo warned me that the General Principles of Daoist Arts Under Heaven had already been given to him, which is a great protection."
"So, it seems that Old Mo is actually a pretty good guy."
"That's right!"
Snap!
Lin Fan suddenly clapped his hands. "How could I forget to ask Old Mo if he used this Sky Gazing Mirror to watch the female disciples bathe?"
"..."
"No, is that even a question? The Sky Gazing Mirror is already in my hands, cough cough cough..."
"Huh?!"
Suddenly, Lin Fan had a flash of inspiration and thought of a possibility.
The Sky Gazing Mirror is an imperial weapon; judging from its name, it must be something extraordinary and objectively unique in the world...
So, can I use the Sky Gazing Mirror to see the real person being controlled by Qi Zixiao?
"No."
Lin Fan quickly suppressed his impulse and did not carry it out.
According to Qi Zixiao's introduction, the Artifact Spirit of this Sky Gazing Mirror is terrifyingly intelligent. If he were to observe a mortal for no reason... he might be able to guess something.
Moreover, whether or not we can even see it is a big problem.
"The main task now is to successfully establish the internet. We've already obtained the Sky Gazing Mirror, which was the hardest thing to get at the moment. Next up is the Natural Gold..."
"As for Natural Gold, Elder Wu Lian, um..."
"Let's go straight to the Artifact Refining Pavilion!"
On the way to the Artifact Refining Pavilion.
Lin Fan thought about many, many things.
Among them, what surprised him the most was the Sky Gazing Mirror... Both its Artifact Spirit and its own abilities had too many connections with the 'server'.
Simply put, the Artifact Spirit is extremely intelligent; isn't that a different kind of artificial intelligence?
And since the Sky Gazing Mirror itself has the 'hardware' to 'observe the world,' in a sense, can it be seen that the Sky Gazing Mirror itself is a 'signal transmission source'?
Or, to put it another way, is the Sky Gazing Mirror a 'signal receiver' that can receive signals from all over the world?
Regardless of the outcome, its impact is enormous.
If the Sky Gazing Mirror itself is a super signal transmitter, then it can transmit and receive signals.
If it is a signal receiver, then it simply receives signals.
Even just receiving signals would save Lin Fan a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources...
Simply put, it means that it is very likely that you can use a wireless network even without a base station.
If this 'signal' is truly that strong, it could even observe any corner of the world...
Then we won't have to worry about the signal being 'blocked', right?
Even formations and such can't block the signal, so isn't it awesome?
"It seems we are destined to meet."
Lin Fan stroked the Sky Gazing Mirror, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
This imperial weapon was practically created for spying... ugh, it was practically created for building the internet for the Cultivation World!
Earth, C City, Green Mountain Town, at the entrance of the 'teahouse'.
Qi Zixiao blinked. "Three... we're one short?"
"What, you can't?"
Zhou Na crossed her arms and slightly raised her chin. "It's okay, I'll just learn as I go. If I lose, it's on me; if I win, it's on you."
"Wrong..."
"You're not short of money right now. Anyway, the stakes are low, so you can keep whatever you win or lose. Otherwise, it'll seem like I'm keeping you as a mistress..."
"Forehead."
Qi Zixiao blinked.
Should we fight?
What are you going to do?
Could it be... that this seemingly chaotic and noisy place is actually a hidden world, where a fight is about to break out?
She was excited and immediately nodded, "Okay, okay."
Then...
Five minutes later, Qi Zixiao looked at the many small blocks that formed the 'Great Wall' in front of her with a look of utter despair.
"Get the cards."
Zhou Na reminded her, "What are you daydreaming about? Don't tell me you don't even know how to pick up a card."
"I know how to do that."
She spoke softly, and then, following the example of the others, took four mahjong tiles.
Qi Zixiao wasn't stupid. At the moment, it wasn't at any 'high difficulty level'. Although it was her first time playing mahjong, she could just learn how to draw the tiles by following the people in front of her.
At this moment, Zhou Na said to the other two aunties, "Aunt Li, Old Lady Wang, this is my younger brother's first time playing mahjong, please let him win."
"Hey, it's your first time, how about paying some tuition?" Old Lady Wang said with a smile.
Aunt Li was relatively plump, smiled and said, "Young people, it's good to play mahjong more often. It keeps your brain active and can help prevent Alzheimer's disease."
Qi Zixiao: "..."
Seeing Qi Zixiao's clumsy way of arranging the tiles, Zhou Na couldn't help but say, "You've really never played this before, have you?"
Do you know the rules?
"This... I don't know."
"Okay, let me tell you. We're playing the Bloody Battle Fixed Shortage that's common in the Southwest region."
"Simply put, after you get your cards, you should arrange them according to your own habits. Generally, the bamboo, dots, and characters are arranged according to their size. You can also arrange them according to your own habits."
"Then, you have to choose a card to put face down on the table. This is called ' Missing a Suit '. Generally, you choose the suit with the fewest cards. When you start playing, you should prioritize playing all cards of the same suit."
If you have two identical cards in your hand, and someone else plays them, you can take them (pong).
"If you get four of the same card, or if you have three in your hand and someone plays one, you can kong."
"Then there are the rules for winning..."
Bloody Battle Fixed Shortage.
This is a relatively common way to play mahjong in Southwest China. Compared to mahjong with winds like East, South, West, and North, the rules are simpler.
After spending a few minutes explaining the rules, Zhou Na smiled and said, "Let's leave it at that for now. We'll play a few rounds, and you'll probably understand."
" For Plain Hand, it's five yuan, and for a good hand, the winnings are doubled according to the corresponding multiplier."
Five yuan?
Qi Zixiao nodded. "Okay."
It's just five yuan, isn't it?
We're rich now, with tens of millions in assets, so we don't care about this little bit of money, humph~
Besides, it's just a mere mortal's game; you think you can stump this Saintess? Impossible!
After hearing the rules, she thought they were very simple and started her first game of mahjong without a second thought.
At first, she was disgusted.
What's so fun about this thing?
Then...
A chaotic mess!
Focusing on the beginning but neglecting the end.
Unable to withstand...
In the chaos, he suffered a double loss, losing over a hundred yuan in one go...
Looking at the 'Great Wall' that had been rebuilt by the machine, Qi Zixiao began to question the meaning of life.
Am I really that bad?!
How could I lose so badly to a Human Realm game?!
"This Saintess refuses to believe that we can't even handle a simple game in the Human Realm?!"
She gritted her teeth and then... got into a battle with mahjong, Zhou Na, Old Lady Wang, and Aunt Li!
In the second round, she didn't give away any points, but Zhou Na won by self-draw...
In the third game, they continued to fire.
In the fourth round... Aunt Li fired the first shot, and Qi Zixiao was completely just there to make up the numbers.
By the tenth round, Qi Zixiao's eyes were practically green with envy from losing so much.
