Chapter 124: Plus or Minus Zero
Located in the center of Shangjing, Shangjing Hotel is a century-old hotel and the first choice of national leaders to receive foreign guests.
Its exterior still retains the simple and unpretentious style of the last century, but after several renovations, the interior facilities are not outdated at all.
Fu Jian generously contracted the entire banquet hall of the Shangjing Hotel. Before the start of the game, people came one after another. Two well-organized cheongsam girls stood at the door, checking the guests' invitations. Li Er walked into the competition venue, the whole venue was decorated in golden-red tones, and there was a giant dog head of 24K gold hanging in the most conspicuous place on the rostrum.
The so-called mysterious gift has also been revealed. Li Er looked at the gold card in his hand where the dog and the rabbit kissed together, and almost threw it to the ground. Who is this pit daddy thing!
A total of 128 guests were invited, and 32 mahjong machines were also placed. The competition system is based on the last two elimination systems. Each person starts with 10,000 chips and 100 chips. If one player runs out of chips, the first two players automatically advance. If no one is eliminated early, four rounds will be played in the southeast, north, west, and north, and the top two chips will advance to the next round.
The guests present were all dressed in suits and casual clothes, and Li Er saw many familiar faces, including LV4's cartoonist Shen Xing. His masterpiece "Gambling Strange News" is about mahjong, and the psychological description of gambling in it is very exciting. I heard that Shen Xing himself is also a mahjong master, and sure enough, he participated in this competition.
Shen Xing is very similar to his characters, both have a long horse face, he doesn't know Li Er, he just glances at him, and walks over with his pocket.
"Teacher Li Er, you are here!" Fu Jian appeared out of nowhere. He had a saucer in his hand, and the cakes were piled up. While eating, he said vaguely: "Why don't you eat, the craftsmanship of the state banquet master here is really good, and if you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you will be able to eat." ”
Li Er hurriedly took a few steps back, lest he spray cake crumbs onto his suit. He was a little surprised when he saw Fu Jian's smooth chin: "Did you shave?"
"It's not my daughter-in-law's request yet. Fu Jian was quite sorry for this, "Hey, I really envy you single dogs, just take care of yourself." ”
"If you say that again, I'll turn my face!"
"Gotta gotcha! I won't mention it, okay. Fu Jian swallowed the cake in his mouth hard and let go of his body. Behind him was a handsome middle-aged uncle who was about forty years old and polite.
"Come, let me introduce you, this is Xiao Yu, the deputy director of Shangjing Satellite TV, Director Xiao. Director Xiao, this is the Li Er I mentioned to you, and he opened the Manjia family. Fu Jian said.
Xiao Yu stretched out his hand with a smile, and Li Er also stretched out his hand and shook it with him: "Hello, Director Xiao." ”
"I've heard of Mr. Li's name for a long time, and he is really young and promising. ”
"Where, where, it's just a little fight that can't be on the table at all. Li Er said modestly.
"You should be polite to him, he still has something to ask of you. Fu Jian took a few chocolate cakes and nut cakes from the buffet plate next to him.
Xiao Yu hurriedly waved his hand: "It's just a personal matter, let's talk about it after the competition." ”
Li Er was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "It's okay." ”
"I still have some things, so I lost my company first. Uncle Xiao Yu raised the champagne in his hand, nodded, and then turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
Fu Jian saw that he was walking away, and said while chewing the cake: "This guy is a core member of the Cartoonists Association, and it will be good for your career if you make friends with him." Did you see the people he was talking to, they were all members of the association? The fat one, called Zeng Wei, is the editor-in-chief of the comic review magazine "VIBES", and the one who is as thin as a hemp pole is the head of the Jingying animation department, called Michelle, I don't like him very much, it's a bit insidious. ”
"Michelle, how do you use a foreigner's name? ”
"Rice of rice, thank you for your thanks, complete Chinese name. The reason why it is so big is that his father admires foreign charm. Fu Jian shrugged.
Lear nodded, remembering the faces and names of the men.
Fu Jian looked at his watch, wiped his face, and stuffed the plate connected to the cake into Li Er's hand: "It's time for me to speak, I'll play hard later, and strive to enter the finals." ”
Li Er looked at him speechlessly as he stepped onto the podium under the watchful eye of the crowd, and a drone appeared out of nowhere. There are suddenly a lot of cameras with the logo of Beijing Satellite TV around, this Nima is still playing live broadcast?!
"Ahem. Good morning, friends. The Fu Jian Cup Competition has also been held for the fourth time! With the strong support of people from all walks of life, the last event was a complete success. This time, in order to celebrate my success in finding my beloved other half, the winner will not only get a certificate of merit from the master of the hemp altar issued by me, but also a 10:1 pure gold trophy for me and my little princess!
Everyone applauded in unison, and Li Er had no choice but to puff out with a painful face.
"This time, the equipment is also luxurious. The whole process of the competition will be recorded by the special program team of Beijing Satellite TV as a commemorative Blu-ray BD, and distributed to everyone after the competition. In addition, I and the famous sports commentator Mr. Song Shixiong will be the commentators of this competition!"
As soon as the white-haired teacher Song opened his voice, he came to his most classic paragraph: "Shangjing TV, Shangjing TV, hello friends, I am Song Shixiong." ”
His voice sounded very young, not old at all. However, Li Er has only heard Mr. Song explain competitive games, and this is the first time to explain mahjong games.
I have to say, Fu Jian, this guy can play in the city......
The official competition also began. The 128 people were divided into 32 tables, evenly spread across the field. Li Er found his seat and found that the opposite was actually Shen Xing, the author of "Gambling Scandal", he and Li Er nodded, and then closed their eyes and recuperated, looking like they didn't pay attention to other people.
The other two players are also in place. They obviously also recognized Shen Xing, and they all showed expressions that they were finished this time. But he still stubbornly sat down in his seat.
As the familiar shuffling sound stopped, Pai Shan was pushed up by the automatic mahjong machine.
This competition uses the rules of national standard mahjong, 81 kinds of ****, 144 cards. Each table has at least one camera to film, and cheating is absolutely prohibited.
Li Er played the first hand, and his luck was very average.
Shen Xing is lucky, and the card shape is very suitable for three-color three-way smooth, you can also do three-color three-step high. After two rounds of checks, Li Er's next home shot and Shen Xing won.
Shen Xing's good fortune didn't seem to be over yet, and then he made another self-draw with seven pairs, and everyone lost a lot of points.
The third Li Er finally exerted his strength, drew a small card, and won the first point of the day.
With the accumulation of the number of games, Shen Xing seized the opportunity to score a negative score. At the end of the game, Shen Xing and Li Er just advanced to the next game as the first and second places.
"Teacher Song, don't you think that game just now is a little strange. Fu Jian, who watched the game on the laptop screen on the rostrum, frowned and said.
"What's strange? Shen Xing obviously saw through the movements of the three players, and almost never lit a cannon from beginning to end. The chapter is also very reasonable, and it is always the first to do a good job of card shape. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, huh?"
"No, no, no, I mean Mr. Lear. There were a few times just now when he didn't have a kong, but instead played a safe card that someone else had just played. I don't quite understand his choice here. ”
"Then it's also possible that he is afraid of being robbed, after all, his points are also dangerous. ”
"Maybe so......" Fu Jian shook his head and stopped thinking about this question. He looked at the number of points on the screen, no more, no less, still 10,000 points, and the number of points at the beginning was exactly plus or minus zero. Is this also a coincidence?
