Thousand Tricks of the God of Gambling

Episode 2

The new world I thought was full of sword fighting, bloodshed, and chaos.

However, when I moved from a small town to a big city, I realized that everything looked the same in that city.

The majority consists of colorful lights, crowds, towering buildings, and busy highways.

When I left, Mr. Seis only gave me two hundred thousand for my trip.

Mr. Seis is rich, otherwise he would not be able to date many women.

He only gave me two hundred thousand because he said, "In the outside world, money is abundant and women are everywhere. If you want, go find it yourself."

But I don't know where to start.

The city I live in is a border town in the north, where the bath culture is thriving.

For the sake of life, I can only find a job. I became a waiter at the Kombi Bath, providing supplies for various bathing areas.

Of course, it did not include the female section bathing area.

I worked there for half a year.

In the afternoon, as usual, after finishing distributing the supplies and getting ready to go home.

Andi, the team leader, called me and told me to bring the fruit tray to Manager Mei who was on the sixth floor.

Kak Mei is the manager of our fairly young Kombi Bath, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

I still remember myself being surprised a little when I first saw her.

She was beautiful, even more beautiful than the comfort woman that Mr. Seis had brought.

The body is 170 centimeters tall with smooth and clear white skin.

Especially his pair of slender, straight, shining legs.

Every man who saw her could not help but be fascinated.

When I went inside, I brought a tray of fruit, found Kak Mei who was playing Mahjong in the next room.

All the bathhouse staff knew that Kak Mei liked to play Mahjong.

He'll play a few rounds upstairs every time he has free time.

For the sake of approaching him, many men would scramble to accompany him to play.

"Sir Mei, this is a fruit tray for you!"

After putting down the tray, I greeted him and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute..."

Suddenly Mei called me.

He pointed to the teapot at the side and said, "Replace the tea and brew a new one. Replace the Mingqian Longjing tea under my desk."

I started cooking water and brewing tea.

While waiting for the water to boil, I stood not far from him, watching them play Mahjong.

They play Push the Boat which is often played with a bet of two hundred thousand.

Do not underestimate these two hundred thousand, because the way of calculation is different.

After playing seronde, it can often win or beat tens of millions of thousands.

From where I stand, I can see Mahjong Kak Mei tiles and the next player.

The next player is also a woman who is the same age as Kak Mei, but their personality is completely different.

This woman was quite beautiful, yet her thick makeup exuded a sensual aura.

He wore a low-collared black top and showed his curves casually.

After watching for a while, I felt a bit strange.

I think they're just playing with friends.

However, I noticed something was wrong between the woman in black and the man sitting opposite her.

They were seen working together and cheating.

But they are less good at cheating.

In Mahjong cheating, the most commonly encountered and most common is using hand gestures to code for requesting tiles.

That round, the woman in black had a tile of the same suit.

His eyes focused on the tiles, never looking anywhere else.

Meanwhile, the gaze of the man opposite her seemed to lack focus, and often glanced towards the hand of the woman in black.

The moment they reached mid-game, the man threw away the eight bamboo tiles, and the lady in black instantly claimed it.

After seeing this, I wondered if it was just a coincidence.

But after she claimed the discarded tiles, the woman in black still positioned her left thumb backwards and slightly closed her right hand.

I was guessing in my heart, if he was cheating, he would be aiming for the five bamboo tiles.

It turned out to be true, the man opposite him threw out the five bamboo tiles in just two rounds.

The black-clothed woman claimed her tiles again and quickly was already Self-Draw.

Self-draw (Win by taking the tiles yourself in Mahjong), Tanya chuu, all the same, all pongs for a total of 24 points.

Each opponent Kak Mei had to pay four million eight hundred to him.

There are actually many ways to cheat in playing Mahjong.

There are some who use conversation, such as saying 'today will rain'. This rain is similar to the shape, so they may want a tile dot.

Or say 'today you look shining yes', this ray also refers to the character tile.

While the cheat method that uses the hand movements of the two of them was referred to as the 'Chain Whip'.

They also use finger joints to convey secret codes.

Although I knew clearly they were cheating, but I did not know their relationship with Kak Mei, and it was increasingly impossible for me to reveal it.

After making tea, I prepared to leave.

The man opposite Kak Mei raised a call.

The call ended quickly, and he said after disconnecting the call, "Sorry, I can't continue playing. My son is sick, so I have to go home. Let's play next time. I've lost over twenty million, and today his luck is not on my side..."

As she left, the woman in sexy black started to complain.

"Meyra, what kind of person did you bring? He left before the game was over, arguing his son was sick. I saw that he was unable to accept defeat any longer and looked for an excuse to run away, not even I was satisfied playing it..."

Sister Mei casually shuffled the Mahjong tiles in front of her and smiled lightly, saying, "My sister Ananda, the three of us have lost all the time, and you are the only one who wins all the time. Are you still not satisfied? You want to win how much more money?"

Brother Ananda, the lady in black, quickly counted her money and frowned saying, "I didn't even win more than sixty million. Meyra, how about you find someone else to play with me? Let's play a few more rounds. Today, I want to play Mahjong..."

Kak Mei is helpless for Ananda who keeps bothering her. He glanced at his phone contact list, and was confused as to who to invite at this hour.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at me who was pouring tea, then asked, "Six, do you know how to play Mahjong? Let's play a few rounds with us..."

I didn't expect Mei to suddenly call me, but I immediately replied, "I understand a little, but your bet is too big, I can't afford it..."

Actually, even if I don't bring any money, I can still win. Either way, I've spent dozens of years studying cheating.

But I have to say like this, that all this was taught to me by Mr. Seis.

As a competent con man, he must learn to be humble and appear weak.

Only with your opponent completely underestimating you can you deliver a deadly attack.

"It's okay. If you lose, it's my responsibility. If you win, it will be yours. Yuk.." - Yuk..."

Brother Mei said, then took out a stack of twenty million and threw it across.

"You can sit there and play with us..."

I didn't refuse it anymore and sat across from Kak Mei.

In 2000, Mahjong machines were not yet popular, everyone was playing with manually shuffled tiles.

This manually randomized Mahjong style is perfect for both large and small scams.

Of course, even with Mahjong machines, cheating is possible.

While shuffling the tiles, Ananda deliberately rubbed her hands on my hands and merrily said, "Oh, this young man seems to be quite young. Tell me, do you have a boyfriend? Are you still powerful?"

After speaking, he immediately chuckled.

Brother Mei and the man there also joined in.

But I still scramble the tiles expressionlessly.

The first step that Mr. Seis taught me while studying cheating in Mahjong was to remember the tiles in front of my eyes and the tiles of others when they were accidentally revealed.

With this, I still have a great chance of victory even though I did not cheat.
