Chapter 1306: I Have the Nation's Scholar, Unparalleled in the World (Part 2)

"Wow, so close, just so close!"

"Sometimes it's not good to have too good luck, but if the remaining two tiles Luo Quan was waiting for were Man, Sou, or Pin tiles, the other three wouldn't dare to feed each other tiles so blatantly."

"Luo Bao's luck wanders between exploding and collapsing, but the key to losing this hand is that she didn't choose correctly when making the decision in the first turn. If she had kept the White Dragon and discarded the Red Dragon, the follow-up would have been much more comfortable."

"You're using a heavenly eye. Without a heavenly eye, who would know that the opponent could draw three Red Dragons?"

"It's mainly because three Red Dragons are too outrageous. If it weren't for the Four Kongs draw game, Luo Quan would still have a chance to win if she changed the wait."

"It's really a pity. What a pure Big Four Winds plus Eighteen Arhats. I've played thousands of games and haven't seen such a scene."

"According to probability, a person might not encounter it even after playing 10,000 games."

"If this won, it could probably be recorded in the history books."

"Speaking of which, are mahjong players of the Imperial Unparalleled school so fierce? Can such a big hand be drawn at the start?"

"I know several Imperial Unparalleled mahjong players, and none of them are like Luo Quan. People have to wait for tile waves when they improve their luck, while Luo Quan rises as soon as she says so."

"Agreed, Luo Quan should be classified as a separate school, called 'God's Move'. Imperial Unparalleled is just stinky fish and rotten shrimp."

"Haha, 'God's Move' sounds quite domineering."

"It is indeed almost a god-tier draw every time."

………………

Amidst the enthusiastic discussion of the fans, the second hand officially began.

I don't know if the super big hand in the first hand used up all her luck, but the tiles Luo Quan drew this time were all kinds of terminal tiles, which were quite bad.

The so-called terminal tiles are the 1s and 9s of Man, Sou, and Pin, as well as various honor tiles.

These tiles are not connected to anything, and they have no use after being drawn as single tiles, so too many terminal tiles are regarded as old tiles. If you have more than nine such tiles in your hand, it is "Nine Kinds of Terminal Tiles," which is the same as the Four Kongs draw game in the previous hand, and you can directly announce a draw game, which is a kind of protection for people with very bad luck.

And this time Luo Quan drew seven terminal tiles, namely two 1-Man, one 9-Pin, East Wind, Green Dragon, Red Dragon, Red Dragon, and the other tiles were also relatively scattered, neither forming pairs nor connected.

"Damn, I've never seen such a bad one."

Luo Quan hoped to draw a 9-Pin. If so, perhaps there would be hope of making All Terminals (winning with only 1s and 9s of Man, Sou, and Pin).

Unfortunately, she drew a 7-Sou.

Luo Quan looked at her 2-5-Sou and immediately curled her lips. There was an "MMP" held in her heart that was not easy to say.

Tile luck is conserved. Drawing a super big hand in the first hand was her luck reaching its peak. Since she couldn't win, the second hand naturally started to go downhill.

With this hand type in front of her, it is difficult to even make the easiest Simple Hand. It depends on how the follow-up draws are. There is still some hope of making All Pongs.

In short, it is mainly defensive, waiting for the return of luck, and then winning a big one.

However, although Luo Quan's tile luck was poor and she didn't know what to do with a hand of bad tiles.

But in the eyes of the other three, it was another scene. After experiencing the life-and-death moment of the first hand, these three had no doubts about Luo Quan's "strength" anymore.

This is definitely a monster who kills gods and Buddhas when her luck comes. The luck of Heaven-listen Big Four Winds and Four Kongs is something that even if you call over those mahjong players in the Supreme Unparalleled realm, they can't do it.

It feels like luck alone is not enough; there must be an invisible big hand hidden in the mahjong machine to help her operate.

Although they successfully escaped the scene of being eliminated in the first hand by working together, as long as this luck is still there, Luo Quan can still draw big hands.

Now Luo Quan hasn't revealed any tiles, but who knows what kind of heaven-defying big hand she has grabbed in her hand?

So after the three looked at each other, they determined the playing style, which was to feed tiles to each other as quickly as possible. If they can win, they win. They must never give Luo Quan a chance to start.

Luck, this thing, cannot exist for a long time after entering the game. One maintenance is half a half-game, which is four hands of tiles.

So after surviving this East 4th round, Luo Quan's luck should decline, and then everyone will rely on their own abilities.

Although playing cards like this is a bit of a rogue, it is a last resort to deal with Luo Quan. After all, this is a competition, and if you want to win the competition, you naturally have to do whatever it takes.

So, Li Hongshu and the other three started to feed tiles to each other continuously, just like in the first hand, and soon won.

Self-draw Simple Hand, one fold, 1,000 points for each family.

The return is average, but leading by 100 points is also leading.

And almost every hand in the following rounds was the same routine, until the end of the East 4th round.

If they continue to play like this, Luo Quan might be defeated by this way of cutting meat with a dull knife.

And such a situation also caused the fans' nervousness:

"They are still mahjong players at the Rising Waves at the Peak level. Can three against one, this kind of dirty play, also be used?"

"It's understandable to win the competition, but playing like this is indeed a bit ugly."

"If I were Luo Quan, I would just show the tiles and play. Anyway, I can't win, so I might as well humiliate them severely."

"Is Luo Bao's luck consumed too much in the first hand?"

"It's almost the South 1st round. Luo Quan's score is the lowest in the whole field. If she doesn't get a big hand, she's probably going to be far away."

"Speaking of reason, it's a bit difficult. For other Imperial Unparalleled mahjong players, tile luck is from small to large, and the tile luck is fierce as they play to the end.

Luo Bao's is like the opposite. It was fierce at the beginning, and then it became more and more collapsed."

"It is indeed like this. Several hands in a row are Nine Kinds of Terminal Tiles at the start. It's as difficult as ascending to heaven to want to listen to tiles after a few hands."

"I feel Luo Bao is a bit difficult."

………………

The fans analyzed Luo Quan's awkward situation, and Luo Quan was indeed very annoyed by the cheating-style play of the other three.

But this is just a cheating-style play, not cheating.

They didn't say a word to each other, relying entirely on eye contact and analysis of the game to feed tiles. This is actually a manifestation of technique, and ordinary people really can't do it.

So Luo Quan had nothing to blame. Moreover, the game was only half over, and it was too early to start sighing now.

She didn't believe that her luck would always be so bad. For her luck, Luo Quan was still very confident.

Taking a step back, where there are children crying every day, there are gamblers losing every day!

If you don't even believe in your own luck, you'd better say goodbye to this game early.

Just like this, Luo Quan welcomed the South 1st round with a calm mood.

Tile luck seems to be still outrageously bad. Looking at it, there are many terminal tiles.

After counting carefully, there are exactly nine, so this counts as Nine Kinds of Terminal Tiles, and you can request to restart.

However, just as Luo Quan was about to raise her hand to signal the referee, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in her mind.

Who says that Nine Kinds of Terminal Tiles must be hopeless?

There is a Yakuman hand type that requires collecting all terminal tiles to win, which is known as one of the most difficult hand types to win—Thirteen Orphans, commonly known as Thirteen Orphans.

To win with Thirteen Orphans, you need 1s and 9s of Man, Sou, and Pin, plus East, South, West, North, White, Green, Red, plus any one of the above tiles.

The name sounds very domineering, and the difficulty of winning is not generally high.

And because each kind of terminal tile only needs one, once you choose to make Thirteen Orphans, there is almost no turning back. But if anyone Kongs any one of the terminal tiles, then it is announced that it is impossible to make Thirteen Orphans in this hand.

And because Thirteen Orphans are very easy to identify, it is easy for others to see what you want to do, so if you are determined to defend, you can only rely on self-drawing to win, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of making Thirteen Orphans.

However, who let Luo Quan draw Nine Kinds of Terminal Tiles.

Although this is a hand type that can choose to restart, even the worst hand has a glimmer of life, and Thirteen Orphans is the glimmer of life for Nine Kinds of Terminal Tiles!

Of course, in most cases, people who encounter Nine Kinds of Terminal Tiles will choose to restart. After all, Thirteen Orphans are not so easy to collect.

But if there is no dream, what is the difference from a salted fish?

It's fine if there are only six or seven kinds of terminal tiles before, but this time there are nine kinds of terminal tiles, and they are all non-repeating, which shows that her tile luck has returned!

If you don't take what heaven gives, you will be blamed. So Luo Quan decided to make a big one. If the luck is good, she can end the game directly.

Thinking of this, Luo Quan didn't ask the referee to restart, but calmly watched her opponents draw and discard tiles.

Because they entered the South 1st round, Li Hongshu and others felt that Luo Quan's tile luck had gone down, and they had truly entered the stage of deciding whether to stay or leave, so they didn't go out to cooperate and started making big hands.

However, they would never think that Luo Quan's tile luck had not disappeared, or that the previous presence or absence was just accumulating, and now it finally ushered in an outbreak.

"It's my turn." Luo Quan reached out excitedly and grabbed a tile.

Looking closely, it was a 9-Pin, which was exactly one of the terminal tiles she was missing.

Now Luo Quan's heart was settled, and she discarded a 3-Sou calmly.

Now, she had already collected 1s and 9s of Man, Sou, and Pin, as well as East, South, West, North, White, Green, Red.

She was still two tiles away from listening to Thirteen Orphans.

It was also at this moment that a long-lost Shura tile wave soared into the sky again, suppressing the tile luck of the other three.

Such a big movement naturally couldn't be hidden from the people at the same table. Li Hongshu, as a mahjong player of the Causality Law school, was even more sensitive to this change. His back suddenly felt cold, and he felt a huge crisis coming.

"Did she draw a Yakuman heaven-sent hand again?" Li Hongshu looked at Luo Quan's expression and the 3-Sou she discarded, and fell into deep thought.

This time she didn't show any flaws, and only discarded a 3-Sou, so it was impossible to see what she would win.

Big Three Dragons? Big Four Winds? Or Full Flush of Man or Pin?

Even if a Causality Law mahjong player has the ability to see through the tile mountain, it can only be done after playing for several turns. This is only the first turn, at most he can make a game to lure Luo Quan into the hook, but it is impossible to understand what Luo Quan wants to win.

Thinking of this, Li Hongshu, who felt incomparably difficult, could only discard a 2-Sou in hesitation.

Since Luo Quan didn't want 3-Sou, it means that there are not many Sou tiles in her hand, or she can't make a chow with 1-2-Sou.

Compared with 1-Sou which is easy to win with big hands, discarding 2-Sou is clearly a good choice, followed by 5-Sou and 8-Sou.

However, he didn't have 5-Sou or 8-Sou in his hand, so he had to escape 2-Sou quickly.

After discarding it, there was no reaction from Luo Quan, which made Li Hongshu breathe a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, his analysis was correct.

Come for three more turns, no, come for two more turns, his Causality Law can exert its effect, see through Luo Quan's true intention, and then he can make a response.

Feeling the Shura tile wave that was still accumulating, Li Hongshu felt that the situation was not so bad, at least Luo Quan definitely hadn't listened to the tiles yet.

Soon, it was Luo Quan's turn to draw tiles again.

As long as it is Red Dragon or One Sou, she is one-away from Thirteen Orphans. If the luck is good, she can Riichi in the next turn.

Taking a deep breath, draw a tile.

Red Dragon!

"Nice!" Luo Quan's mouth raised slightly, and she discarded a 7-Man.

This expression aroused the vigilance of others, knowing that she was one step closer to listening or winning.

With the lead in points, defending and quickly ending the game with a small win is the optimal choice.

So Luo Quan discarded 7-Man, and others also discarded 7-Man if they had it, and tried to avoid discarding big live tiles if they didn't have it.

At the same time, these three exchanged glances again, obviously intending to continue the East 4th round's play, preparing to start dirty play.

However, in front of Luo Quan's heaven-defying strong luck, even if the three joined forces, it was not enough to look at.

In the third turn, 9-Pin was in hand, Luo Quan discarded 4-Pin horizontally, and decisively announced Riichi.

Now she has 1s and 9s of Man, Sou, and Pin in her hand, plus East, South, West, North, White, Green, Red, and she can win if she comes with any terminal tile.

And this is not an ordinary Thirteen Orphans wait, it is a very rare Thirteen Orphans wait!

Like the Big Four Winds plus Four Kongs before, it is also a Yakuman heaven-sent hand that is difficult to make in actual combat unless you arrange it according to the tile spectrum.

However, unlike the single wait for Red Dragon in the East 1st round, Luo Quan has thirteen choices to win this time. She doesn't believe that the other three can't discard a single tile.

Even if they don't discard, she can self-draw, and the probability of winning is equally high!

At this moment, Luo Quan's Shura tile wave had completely taken shape, and the monstrous momentum suppressed the other three so that they could hardly breathe.

And as the owner of Causality Law, Li Hongshu had already discovered some clues at this time.

The tiles Luo Quan discarded seemed messy, with Man, Sou, and Pin, but there was not a single terminal tile.

Boldly guess, Luo Quan is either making Thirteen Orphans or Big Three Dragons or Big Four Winds.

Therefore, honor tiles cannot be discarded, and 1s and 9s of Man, Sou, and Pin cannot be discarded, so the remaining tiles are highly likely to be safe.

Li Hongshu quickly shared this information with the other two, and then began to feed tiles to each other based on this restriction.

Before long, these three had all reached the edge of a flat win. ===== CHAPTER 1307 =====
