Chapter 1302

"You definitely won't be able to see it before the end of this year. Wait for next year; it should be able to meet everyone at the end of the Spring Festival season next year."

Luo Quan thought for a moment and gave the fans a conservative number.

In fact, there are only about two months left until the Spring Festival, so the release speed is quite fast. An average director would definitely not dare to make such a boast.

But for Luo Quan, finishing filming within two months is already a routine operation, and there have been times when it was completed even faster.

However, although the fans are all urging Luo Quan to hurry up and film, some procedures still have to be followed.

After all, Hollywood just received the news about starting filming early. Just getting visas for everyone will take at least a week. Even if filming starts the moment they get off the plane, that will be ten days later.

So the next ten days should be the most relaxing ten days in the next two months.

Originally, Luo Quan wanted to stay in the room and carefully read the precautions for pregnant women.

But because Huanyu is very concerned about her and the Holy Child's situation, she has to go over there from time to time.

Actually, it's equivalent to having a check-up, just more frequent than here on Earth.

Luo Quan is lucky; today is the last day to sign up for the Mahjong God Championship. Registration will end early tomorrow morning, and then the first round of elimination will begin immediately.

Otherwise, no scientific knowledge could explain why her luck is so good in every game.

"You signed up?" Bai Xingwei saw Luo Quan operating the light machine and immediately leaned her head over.

And Riichi Mahjong, also as a game, is excellent enough to allow people to receive extra rewards while playing.

"I thought you would dislike it for lacking challenge and just not participate," Bai Xingwei said with a sour tone.

At that time, it seemed many people were interested, but Luo Quan always thought people loved it because they loved the *Huanyu Girls* show so much, and it wasn't really that they had such high enthusiasm for playing Riichi Mahjong.

Each player starts with 25,000 points, playing a total of six half-games. Once one player loses all their points, the final scores of the four players are calculated, and the person with the highest score advances to the second round at noon.

"Take this Mahjong God Championship for example; the current attention is no less than that of *Huanyu Girls* back then."

Because all the bad luck you were supposed to have is borne by the other three losers in the game.

The hand consists of three White Dragons, three Red Dragons, one Green Dragon, 4-5-6 Bamboo, 3-6 Bamboo, and 2 Circles.

Under such excellent momentum, the first Mahjong God Championship came into being.

Starting with such a hand is an experience Bai Xingwei has never had.

In her view, the "Small Three Dragons" is already a good winning hand. Although it only has two *fan*, there are absolutely no 5-8 Bamboo in the current discard pile, which means there is a high probability of drawing it herself.

After verifying the players' identities, the first round of the competition officially began.

There are so many winning hand types in Riichi Mahjong; she dreams of winning with "Thirteen Orphans" or "Nine Gates" once.

"Isn't this already about to win? Why not declare Riichi?" Bai Xingwei's eyes were full of confusion.

But Luo Quan achieved a "two-away" hand from the start; who could have known she was making a "Big Three Dragons"?

If it weren't for the system's reminder, she might have missed this competition.

But every time she plays ranked games, being able to win with a big hand, like "Seven Pairs," "Full Straight," or "Flush," is already quite rare.

Luo Quan also knows they are doing it for her daughter's sake, so she has always been very cooperative.

This competition is actually equivalent to the S-series in LOL, belonging to the highest tournament of this game. It not only invites Mahjong masters from Huanyu to participate, but enthusiasts and players from other planets can also sign up.

So even if you lose miserably today, if you endure the bad luck for a period of time, there will always be a chance to turn the tables.

But if you play six half-games, it is highly probable to avoid this happening, after all, people cannot be lucky all the time.

Because her own competition hadn't started yet, Bai Xingwei sat next to Luo Quan to watch her operate.

Then, she saw how she grabbed a "two-away" hand for "Small Three Dragons" from the start.

And with "Conqueror's Luck" escorting her, even if no one discards the winning tile, the winning tile will still come to her hand.

Luo Quan clicked "Win" without hesitation, and then dazzling special effects appeared on the screen.

For such a game with relatively low risk and very high returns, it is no surprise that it became popular.

She had played with Luo Quan a few times before; that kind of luck of winning on the first turn is really not something that can be described by the word "monster." She had never seen such outrageous luck!

If there is a God of Mahjong in the dark, then Luo Quan must be the Mahjong Virgin Mary who gathers all the favor of the gods.

This thing was originally something she took out to kill time with the girls during the breaks of the *Huanyu Girls* live stream.

As a Mahjong enthusiast, she really envies Luo Quan's luck of winning on the first turn.

"After officially participating in the competition, tasks may appear, and after the host wins the championship, she can absorb the luck of other participants."

But now it seems that this idea of hers is a bit too arbitrary.

Moreover, when it first appeared, it was in the phenomenal variety show *Huanyu Girls*, which is much more effective than spending huge sums of money on advertising.

It turns out that Riichi Mahjong, a new thing from Earth, has gained the blessing of extraordinary power in Huanyu.

If she didn't participate in this competition, there would still be some suspense as to who the champion would be.

"Mahjong God Championship?" Luo Quan's expression became extremely strange, thinking to herself, do we really have that thing?

It wasn't until Bai Xingwei clicked on a Mahjong icon with a Red Dragon printed on it that Luo Quan realized the competition she was talking about was actually this.

That is to say, playing Riichi Mahjong has now become a high-stakes gamble using luck as a chip.

What's interesting is that the rewards for playing Riichi Mahjong are not as rich as those in the fantasy world. When playing Riichi Mahjong, one can only get one reward: improving one's own luck.

"Besides, I'm not completely without a way out. Even if they see I'm making 'Big Three Dragons' and don't discard the Red Dragon, I can still win with 6 Bamboo for 'Small Three Dragons.' The score is a bit lower, but as long as I can win, it's not bad."

This competition format is much better than a single game deciding the winner; after all, Mahjong is a game with too much contingency.

And the "Yakuman" heavenly hand Luo Quan won this time is "Big Three Dragons." Even without adding "Three Concealed Triplets," it is already one of the biggest hand types.

After three rounds, she drew the Green Dragon.

Then came the capital's involvement; Mahjong changed from a casual game to a competitive game where one can play ranked games to climb the ladder, and then developed into multiple levels of club tournaments.

"By the way, if I win this competition, what benefits can I get? Are there any task rewards or something?"

Later, it was filmed into a daily vlog, and then it became popular for no reason.

As soon as she finished speaking, she got the 6 Bamboo, and Luo Quan discarded the 7 Bamboo horizontally, choosing to declare Riichi.

Facts have proven that there can indeed be.

However, after she finished her check-up two days ago, she would return to Earth after chatting with Ye Zhining, Bai Xingwei, and the others, but this time it seems she can't leave.

But if you choose to play Riichi Mahjong, and you also set off a "Luck Wave" while playing, then the winner of this game can absorb the loser's luck, stay lucky for a period of time, and never have to worry about bad luck later.

Luo Quan placed the 3 Bamboo into her discard pile, not choosing to declare Riichi.

"Win!"

"That's true, too." Bai Xingwei nodded, feeling that she had thought a bit too simply.

"Yes, the Mahjong God Championship," Bai Xingwei said almost instantly. "Are you interested? I just signed up. You should sign up too, and let's go to the preliminaries together."

Even if your luck is good, if you meet someone whose luck is exploding, you will definitely lose one or two games and be eliminated directly.

The first round of the preliminary competition is online. After advancing, which is at noon a few hours later, you have to go to the offline designated venue to continue the competition.

That is, you might be very lucky today and get a gold card in a single draw, but tomorrow you will probably need a "hard pity" to get a gold card.

And Benjamin III also said that this is just the beginning of the pregnancy, so there will be more check-ups. After a while, there will be no need to be so tossed about, and there won't be such frequent check-ups until the due date arrives.

The system's answer was a bit ambiguous, but since it didn't explicitly say no, it means there is a possibility of task rewards.

And it's not just Luo Quan, the "porter," who can get it; all other players can also get the same treatment when playing Riichi Mahjong.

Most of the time, they can only make the smallest "All Simples."

Choosing to declare Riichi at this time, and then drawing a tile yourself later, would be a huge profit.

At dawn, Luo Quan entered the competition room and got ready.

There are city-level, regional-level, and even planet-level.

It was Luo Quan's turn to draw a tile; she drew the 7 Bamboo and discarded the 2 Circles.

The first round of the competition won't last long; each group basically finishes in ten or twenty minutes, so there is no need to worry about insufficient rest time.

"Is it that outrageous?" Luo Quan was silent after hearing this, and then lowered her head to quickly scroll through the news.

Sure enough, less than two rounds after Luo Quan declared Riichi, a Red Dragon appeared on the screen.

Just like when she took the fantasy world to Huanyu for release, because the work was too excellent, she could directly enter the fantasy world and then obtain various rewards from the world.

However, considering the importance of the Holy Child to the Dawn Church, such an approach is understandable.

"I definitely have to sign up. After all, it's a game I brought from Earth. Wouldn't it be a pity if I, the porter of Mahjong, didn't play a hand?" Luo Quan said righteously.

This can be considered a feature of the *Mahjong King* app. When a "Yakuman" heavenly hand is won, these very cool winning special effects will appear.

After learning about the competition, Luo Quan appeared eager to try.

Luo Quan smiled slightly: "It's only been a few rounds. How could you tell what I'm doing just by looking at the discard pile?"

In layman's terms, it means that what goes around comes around.

(PS: "Small Three Dragons" is winning by Pung or Kong of any two of the White, Green, or Red Dragons, with the remaining one being a pair, plus two other sequences or Pungs. If I remember correctly, it should be like this.)

"Two-away" means you are two key tiles away from being ready to win.

"More than just popular?" Bai Xingwei shook her head and sighed. "Playing Riichi Mahjong is now one of the most popular games in Huanyu. Whether online or offline, whether playing for points or real money, the popularity is among the best."

Except for Luo Quan.

Bai Xingwei curled her lips: "You are really confident. Aren't you afraid that others will notice you are making 'Big Three Dragons' and just not discard the Red Dragon?"

In short, Mahjong tournaments are now in full swing, and the number of ordinary players and participants is as numerous as the stars in the sky.

And with the personal participation of a large number of streamers, the popularity of this emerging thing has exploded geometrically.

However, she ignored one fact: when others make "Small Three Dragons," they have to wait for several key tiles, and by that time, it's already the middle or late stage of a game, so the difficulty of winning is definitely high.

With her luck in playing cards, no matter how good other people's techniques are, don't they only have the part of watching her win?

After watching for a long time, she finally understood.

Or, die directly on the road to winning a big hand.

"Why would I declare Riichi for just 'Small Three Dragons'?" Luo Quan chuckled and pinched her chin. "It's rare that I'm only one tile away from the 'Three Concealed Triplets' of White, Green, and Red Dragons. If I get one more Green Dragon, that's a confirmed Yakuman. As long as I win, the battle will end early."

"Is this Riichi Mahjong very popular in Huanyu now, even creating a championship?" Luo Quan asked with a face full of confusion.

So Luo Quan immediately asked Bai Xingwei: "Weiwei, has Huanyu been holding any particularly grand competitions recently?"

A competition very suitable for herself—this kind of description seems to have never appeared before.

Or perhaps it's because she has won with "All Simples" so many times that she naturally feels that a hand that can win one *fan* is already good enough, so when she sees "Small Three Dragons," she feels she should win it quickly, lest the opponent runs away.

Consequently, Luo Quan immediately signed up for this competition, with the nickname "Heavenly Hand Start."

So, long before *Huanyu Girls* ended, the popularity of Riichi Mahjong was already very high.

The system's sudden reminder made Luo Quan's heart tremble.

"A competition very suitable for the host is about to be held. It is recommended that the host sign up to participate."

And the absorbed luck will only exist for a certain period of time, not forever, so everyone doesn't have to worry about losing all their luck.

Now that she has signed up, the championship is basically reserved. After all, in Mahjong, can any hand be bigger than a "Heavenly Hand"?

Thinking that playing Mahjong can not only harvest others' luck but also obtain items like upgrade cards, Luo Quan's eyes were full of anticipation.

That's right, Luo Quan has already regarded other participants as "leeks" that can be harvested at will.

Everyone will have times of being lucky and unlucky. Usually, these two situations are conserved.

Luo Quan is the dealer, winning with a self-drawn Yakuman, gaining 32,000 points.

Just after the first game was finished, she was already far ahead of the other three players.

Vaguely, a wave of "Asura Mahjong" also began to condense on her body.
