Chapter 1330: Luck Like a Dragon (IV)
"It's here!"
"Holy crap, it's finally starting."
"Has the monstrous wave of tiles already gained momentum? Is Luo Quan about to start her Heavenly Hand show?"
"A Heavenly Hand right off the bat, as expected of you, Luo Bao."
"But winning one hand won't help; she's still over a hundred thousand points behind."
"That's right, a self-drawn Heavenly Hand is 32,000 points, nowhere near enough."
"Did you miss the East 3 round? As long as the dealer keeps winning, the game continues. Luo Bao is the dealer for the East 4 round!"
"Damn, I forgot. If Luo Bao can keep getting Heavenly Hands, couldn't she keep chasing the score indefinitely?"
"She can't be that lucky, right? Can someone really get consecutive Heavenly Hands?"
"Others might find it difficult, but for Luo Quan, I believe there are no problems at all!"
"Luck is conserved. Luo Bao was unlucky to the extreme in the first three rounds; now, her luck has finally turned."
"I want to see what kind of hand Luo Bao can win with."
……………………
Amidst the excited gazes of countless viewers, Luo Quan pushed over her tiles.
It was just a common 'All Simples' hand, but because it was a Heavenly Hand, even the smallest hand counted as a Limit Hand. Luo Quan directly banked 32,000 points!
"What a pity, I was only a few steps away from 'Four Concealed Triplets'," the old man sighed inwardly, but this couldn't reverse the situation.
Thinking this, he shoved his tiles into the shuffling hole and began the second round of the East 4 play.
Luo Quan remained the dealer. At this moment, all the viewers clenched their fists.
Next, it was time to witness a miracle!
"Heavenly Hand, 'Straight'!"
Sure enough, as soon as Luo Quan finished arranging her tiles, she pushed them forward.
The old man, whose speed was relatively slow, hadn't even finished organizing his tiles yet.
The three opponents immediately looked over, all six eyebrows furrowed tightly.
"It really is a Heavenly Hand with a 'Straight'."
The youth sighed, sitting back in his seat with a heavy heart.
When Luo Quan got her first Heavenly Hand, he didn't think much of it. After all, Luo Quan did have the luck for it, and one occurrence didn't mean the end of the world. He still had over a hundred thousand points; the advantage was his!
But who would have thought Luo Quan could win consecutively?
If she kept getting Heavenly Hands, it would be quite troublesome.
But a Heavenly Hand is something you can't disrupt even if you wanted to.
Because a Heavenly Hand means drawing the first tile and winning immediately; the others haven't even completed their hands and cannot perform any operations or coordination.
Therefore, the only way is to wait—wait for Luo Quan's luck to run out, and then quickly coordinate to remove her as the dealer.
The three of them had basically the same thought. After exchanging glances, they knew what to do next.
But wanting to is one thing; would Luo Quan give them that chance?
The answer was clearly no.
"Heavenly Hand, 'Big Three Dragons'!"
Luo Quan pushed her tiles again. This time it was a double Limit Hand, 64,000 points!
After winning the third hand, Luo Quan's score was completely positive, and she had reached second place, only seventy thousand points away from the youth.
It seemed like a lot was still missing, but she only needed one more double Limit Hand to achieve a comeback.
"My god, her luck has really arrived."
"Watching Luo Quan play is refreshing. No calculations or techniques, just pure luck crushing everything. No matter what 'Iron Cannon' or 'Causality Law' you have, you only get crushed when you meet my 'Imperial Unrivaled'!"
"There's nothing left to say but 'awesome'. Friends, start cheering."
"Once Luo Quan's Heavenly Hand starts, it's unstoppable."
"It's already a double Limit Hand; will there be a triple or quadruple one later?"
"Soon it will be a 'Four Concealed Triplets Single Wait' Heavenly Hand."
"By the way, if Luo Bao keeps getting Heavenly Hands, how many times can she win?"
"Theoretically, there is no upper limit. And after eight consecutive wins, every win is a Limit Hand. A Heavenly Hand comes with a double multiplier, so the score will skyrocket."
"Can she really get eight consecutive Heavenly Hands? The probability feels a bit low."
"It's hard to say for others, but if it's Luo Bao, I can only say anything is possible."
…………
By this moment, the fans were no longer that excited.
When they realized Luo Quan would likely keep getting Heavenly Hands, the result of the match had lost all suspense.
Her three opponents went from frowning to sweating to resignation, all within two minutes.
Now, they couldn't even be bothered to look at their tiles; after drawing, they just waited for Luo Quan to announce the result.
Even her opponents felt that Luo Quan could really keep getting Heavenly Hands like this until the end of time.
In the fourth round, Luo Quan got a Heavenly Hand 'All Honors', a double Limit Hand of 64,000 points, successfully achieving a comeback and rising to first place.
However, according to the rules, she could continue to be the dealer and expand her lead.
Fifth round, Heavenly Hand 'All Terminals', double Limit Hand.
Sixth round, Heavenly Hand 'Thirteen Orphans', triple Limit Hand.
Seventh round, Heavenly Hand 'Big Seven Stars' and 'All Honors'—two of each of East, South, West, North, White, Green, and Red—double Limit Hand.
Eighth round, Heavenly Hand 'Big Four Winds', 'All Honors', triple Limit Hand.
Ninth round…………
After nine consecutive wins, Luo Quan didn't feel tired at all; she was even getting more excited.
At this moment, everyone saw the heaven-defying wave of tiles she had stirred up.
No, it should be called 'Fortune'.
A snow-white, majestic long dragon soared into the sky from behind her, let out a deafening roar, and stood tall behind her, surveying everyone present with its majestic gaze.
This was 'Fortune Manifesting as a Dragon'. Throughout history, the number of heaven-favored children who could turn fortune into this form could be counted on one hand.
This meant that in terms of luck, Luo Quan had reached the limit; there would be no more bad luck in the future.
Even if she encountered unpleasant things, they would quickly turn into good fortune.
The unlucky situations from the East 1 and East 2 rounds would basically never happen again.
This was the immense benefit that 'Fortune Manifesting as a Dragon' brought her.
However, for Luo Quan, it wasn't over yet.
She vaguely felt that the winning hand of this ninth consecutive round would be the highest score of her career as a mahjong player.
So, she took a deep breath and stood her tiles up one by one.
"Holy crap, does this really happen?"
"It can be considered a beginning and an end."
"There won't be a 'Four Quads' this time, right?"
"No, the other three houses don't have any quads!"
"It's here, the theoretical maximum hand type!"
"It seems like Luo Bao had a 'Heavenly Ready' hand in the first round of the first match, and she almost won. I don't know if she can get her wish this time."
"If she really wins this, this match can be called legendary!"
"Don't talk, don't talk, don't talk, it's coming."
……………………
Amidst the audience's anticipation, their eager waiting, and their longing, Luo Quan began to draw tiles.
This time, her starting hand was exactly the same as the one she had in the first round of the first match of the Mahjong God Championship: three of each of the East, South, West, and North winds, plus one White Dragon.
And as the dealer, she could draw one extra tile at the start.
"Quad!"
Luo Quan drew the East wind, so she pushed the three East winds over, then drew another tile. What appeared in her hand was a West wind.
It was as if a pair of giant hands had already arranged the tiles in advance.
Whatever tile Luo Quan wanted, she could draw it.
After the quad, she drew again: South wind!
She continued to quad and continued to draw: North wind!
"Only one tile left."
Luo Quan looked at the only Red Dragon left in front of her, rubbed her hands together, and breathed onto them.
"Is it coming?!"
Everyone's eyes widened at this moment.
At the same time, the white dragon above Luo Quan's head let out an excited long chant.
Luo Quan drew the tile under the gaze of everyone, then, without even looking, slammed it onto the table.
"Holy shit, she drew it!"
"The four directions return to the center, the world is in great harmony!"
"Awesome, the theoretical highest fan value, simply invincible."
"Actually, it's not. There is one higher than this, but if it were that one, it couldn't be a Heavenly Hand. By comparison, I still prefer the Heavenly Hand; it's an absolutely unsolvable fortune."
"How many times the Limit Hand is this?"
"Who cares? Anyway, she's already won hundreds of thousands of points; does the multiplier even matter?"
"I wonder if future generations can break this record."
"Break it? If future generations can get one Heavenly Hand, it's enough to brag about. Nine consecutive Heavenly Hands—if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would think this person was crazy."
"Too awesome, I've been watching the match on my knees the whole time."
"No words needed, Luo Quan is crowned the Mahjong Saintess tonight, or 'Mahjong Saint' for short!"
………………
"Phew." Luo Quan exhaled lightly and finally revealed a smile.
This should be the largest hand type she could win with a Heavenly Hand.
"Heavenly Hand, 'Four Quads', 'Four Concealed Triplets Single Wait', 'Big Four Winds', 'Eight Consecutive Dealer', 'All Honors', seven-fold Limit Hand, 224,000 points!"
Luo Quan spent several seconds just reporting the hand name. After she finished, everyone, including her opponents, stood up and applauded to congratulate her.
"It's unbelievable, nine consecutive Heavenly Hands, and in the end, she even won with the theoretical highest fan value."
The host walked over, his face as excited as a monkey's butt: "Luo Quan, do you want to continue as the dealer? Will you extend this record, or end this legendary match here?"
"Nine consecutive dealer rounds is already quite good. When water is full, it overflows; when the moon is full, it wanes. There's no need to win anymore, lest I steal too much of heaven's secrets." Luo Quan chuckled, deciding not to challenge her own lifespan.
Although the system said her fortune wasn't linked to her lifespan, who would dare to make a definitive statement about metaphysical matters?
Luo Quan certainly didn't dare to compete with the King of Hell to see who was bolder.
Nine consecutive wins were enough. If she kept winning, Luo Quan was truly afraid of exhausting her lifespan, so she decided to quit while she was ahead.
The match ended. Seventy percent of all the fortune accumulated in this Mahjong God Championship flowed into Luo Quan's body. The white dragon above her head let out a roar that shook the world and grew twice as large out of thin air.
The remaining thirty percent flowed into her three opponents, but the improvement wasn't as obvious as Luo Quan's.
But it wasn't over yet. After Luo Quan received this fortune, she immediately arranged for the system to split it in two.
She kept one part and injected the other directly into Ningning's body.
This was her true purpose for participating in the competition.
Now that it was finally achieved, Luo Quan also revealed a satisfied smile.
Soon, the host walked over to let Luo Quan give her acceptance speech and thank the various sponsors and benefactors.
Thanks to Luo Quan's super-god-level performance in the finals, the viewership of this Mahjong God Championship even reached the level of the Cosmic Girls' debut day.
Compared to other recent programs, it was simply in a league of its own.
Countless production teams despairingly discovered that Luo Quan wasn't just amazing in the Cosmic Girls program; every program she appeared in was this powerful, and she had monopolized the industry without them realizing it.
They had originally thought that after Cosmic Girls ended, the situation for various variety shows would improve.
Who would have thought she would seamlessly transition into a Mahjong God Championship.
It was fortunate that there were no other competitions in between, otherwise, other variety shows would truly have no way to survive.
The good news was that Luo Quan's "big-bellied" appearance suggested she was about to give birth.
It was estimated that for a long time, she would focus her energy on pregnancy and childcare, so she probably wouldn't have time to appear in variety shows.
This period could last at least a year, which was acceptable, so they wouldn't have to keep complaining to their superiors.
Of course, Luo Quan herself didn't know all this.
If she knew the thoughts of these program production teams, she would definitely organize a parent-child meeting to test whether she really had a "super-hit" constitution.
It was fortunate that Luo Quan didn't do that, otherwise her peers might truly jump off a building in grief and indignation.
"Hurry and take me to the hospital."
After stepping down from the stage, Luo Quan urged Bai Xingwei urgently.
In fact, stopping after nine rounds wasn't just because she was worried about exhausting her lifespan; on the other hand, her nutrition couldn't keep up.
She had originally thought she would only play four rounds of mahjong, which would take at most half an hour.
Who knew the East 3 round would have several extra rounds, and the East 4 round would go to nine extra rounds, taking nearly three hours.
When she stood up, her vision was already blurring; she was afraid she would faint directly on the mahjong table if she kept playing.
To prevent the organizers from having their venue torn down by the Dawn Church guards, Luo Quan chose to end it quickly.
She even gave her acceptance speech very perfunctorily, just to hurry to the hospital for a check-up and then have a full meal.
She didn't know if it was because she was too hungry, but she noticed Ningning in her belly moving her little fists discontentedly, probably protesting.
"Be patient, my good daughter, the check-up will be quick, it will take less than half an hour."
Luo Quan rubbed her belly and comforted her daughter gently.
As if she could hear her voice, Luo Ning stopped fussing all of a sudden.
Luo Quan breathed a slight sigh of relief, then walked through the portal with Bai Xingwei and arrived at the hospital Ye Zhining had prepared for her.
Although the hospital used all kinds of modern high-tech equipment, the hospital's decor still had a strong ancient Holy Tang Dynasty style, giving it a strange feeling of East-West fusion.
Ye Zhining sat on the sofa, wearing a white coat, looking down and playing with an optical device.
Seeing Luo Quan, she smiled slightly: "You're finally here. You've made me wait for a full two hours."
"Why are you here? Where's the doctor?"
Luo Quan looked at Ye Zhining, shocked.
"Regarding the matter of giving you a check-up, I don't trust anyone else, so I decided to do it myself. Just me alone."
Ye Zhining said, putting on a mask and gesturing for her to come over. ===== CHAPTER 1331 =====
