Chapter 114: The Four Gods Who Touch the Fish
"Five hundred years old, mortals have died six times, right? Why can't you drink alcohol? Tassel gave Wendy a strange look.
"No, how can a demon god be compared to an ordinary person? Besides, didn't you let her drink last time? And"
Without waiting for Wendy to finish speaking, she directly pushed her cup in front of Nahida, who blinked her big green emerald eyes, looked at the glass pushed by the tassel, quickly picked up the cup, and then took a sip.
"How's Nahida taste?"
"Well, it's sweet, it's delicious, it's like grape juice." Nahida said, licking her lips.
Tassel continued, "Doesn't there feel anything else?" β
"Huh? Other sensations? No! Nahida said that she was a little afraid to look at the tassel's eyes, and her eyes were a little erratic.
Wendy: "."
Well, these two grass gods really have no effect on alcohol at all, it should be because they are both grass gods, so they have a special immunity to plant-made wine, right? Wendy kept convincing herself in her heart.
"Let's play poker, shall we?"
Tassel looked at the gods sitting at a table, and it seemed that he couldn't turn around and go fishing in this situation, so he proposed.
"Poker? What is that? Wendy asked.
"I made a little bit of a gadget that should pass the time."
Tassel said as he used his divine power to start making playing cards on the spot, which were A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K, and Joker.
In addition to JOKER, each card is ,,,, which is black and red, and JOKER has two cards, black and red, for a total of 54 cards.
Then it is to put the image of Hu Tao on the A card, Yae Miko is 2 cards, Kaeya is 3 cards, Diluc is 4 cards, Ganyu is 5 cards, Keqing is 6 cards, Klee is 7 cards, Ningguang is 8 cards, Qin is 9 cards, Liuyun is 10 cards, and then J, Q, and K are Wendy, Shadow, Zhongli, two JOKERS, black is empty, and red is Ying.
"How are these played? There are still 2 to 10 I know, but there are other JQKs in this A, and what is JOKER? Wendy asked, holding the cards.
"A is almost 1, J, Q, K are equivalent to 11, 12, 13, and JOKER is the trump card, and the red JOKER is bigger than the black card."
"What about the other suits? Is it also that the red ones are bigger than the black ones? Wendy continued, hearing Tassel say this, he found the dozens of cards interesting.
"No, everything else is the same, the four different suits are the same, there is no such thing as the red one being bigger than the black one."
"Oh, I see, but why is my card smaller than the old man and the woman in Inazuma?" Wendy suddenly pointed to J with his own pattern printed and said, "I can understand the old man, but I don't accept the woman of Inazuma." β
"There's so much more to playing cards, shut up." Tassel ignored Wendy's disbelief.
Wendy: "."
Aggrieved, too aggrieved, why is this woman like this? If I hadn't been able to beat you, I'd have to talk to you and bury you in the snowy mountains of Mondstadt!
"Oh? Interesting, I wonder how this poker is played? Zhongli said, touching his chin.
"Since we have four, let's play two hundred and four." Tassel said as he made the same deck of cards.
"Two hundred and four?" Wendy scratched her head, he didn't know what it was.
"To put it simply, this deck of cards has a total of 240 points, the split is 5, 10, K, JOKER, of which only 5 is five points, the others are ten, and the two decks have a total of eight 5s, eight 10s, eight Ks, and 4 JOKER, a total of 240 points."
"The basic score that everyone needs to achieve is 60 points, more than 60 points is a winner, less than 60 points is a loser, and if you maintain it to 60 points, you don't win or lose, and the four people play their own games."
"Oh? Interesting. Zhongli's eyes lit up, it sounded like a good pastime.
"Hey, Tassel doesn't know how you came up with this gameplay, but it sounds really good, are there any other rules?" Wendy asked.
"Let's talk about the simple first, JOKER, 10, 2 these three cards are the main card, is bigger than other cards, JOKER is a little difficult to read, I will use the king of the king instead, the red is the king, the black is the king, the king is bigger than the king, the king is bigger than the king, the king is bigger than 10, 10 to 2 bigger."
"Then there are the normal cards, and so on, but the 3 is the lowest and the ace is the highest."
After the tassel finished speaking, Zhongli fell into a short silence with the A card belonging to the Hu Tang Master.
"And the same card, the first out is bigger than the last out, for example, the first out of the first out of the king is bigger than the last out of the king, in a round, everyone has to play the number of cards of the first person, out of the card of the largest if this round has a score card, those points are his."
"Then there are the rules of the bright master, if there is 10 when you draw the cards, you can use a 10 to show the master, after the end of the draw, a pair of 10 of the same suit can be reversed, the size of the reverse card according to the square< clubs< hearts< spades< small king< the order of the king, and once a pair of kings are used against the master, the person who is against the lord must be the first to play the cards against the lord. β
"If there is no one to oppose the Lord after the first 10 is used, the first hand can not produce this 10. A card of the same suit as the bright main 10 becomes the main card, and the other suits are the second card. With a pair of kings or a pair of small kings, there is no owner, the main is only 2, 10, the king and the king, at this time all 2 are the same big, all 10 are also the same big. β
Zhongli analyzed: "Oh? I kind of understand, that is, each suit can become the main card and the deck, the main card is also bigger than the other decks, with a heart 10 to light the master, if no one is against the master, then this heart 10 is bigger than the other 10, but smaller than the king. β
"That's right, that's it." Tassel replied.
Then tassels, continue to talk about pairs, companies, and some rules slowly to the gods.
"Well, the rules are pretty much told, let's give it a try, shall we?" He picked up the cup and took a sip of it.
"Hehe, Tassel, you're talking about this too much trouble, but it's really interesting." Wendy said with a smile.
Zhong Li bowed his head and said, "It's okay, just listening to theory is not as useful as practice. β
The tassel picked up the card and scrubbed it casually, Wendy cut the card and said happily: "Hey? Luckily, it turned out to be a 2".
The person who cuts the card, the last one below must be in his hand, and the tassel has also explained.
"It's just a 2." Tassel said, glancing at him.
Then the tassel below starts to draw the cards, in order, tassel, Nahida, Zhongli, Wendy.
"I shout hearts!"
Wendy threw out a 10 of hearts and placed it in front of him, causing Zhongli's hand to freeze in mid-air as he was about to throw the 10 of spades.
After a round of card drawing, Wendy frowned and said, "Is anyone against the Lord?" β
After he shouted out the hearts, the hearts in his hand were pitiful, so he asked the other three gods expectantly.
"Nope." Tassel replied.
"Neither do I." Nahida said.
Zhongli said, "No. β
Zhongli looked at the pair of 10s of spades in his hand and fell into deep thought, because in addition to a pair of 10s of spades, he only had three spades, but there were many hearts, and there were two pairs of them.
"What about the Lord? Without me, I would have played my cards. β
Wendy continued to ask, there is no anti-main in one round, and then there is the main master, if there is none, it means that the hearts have become the main card in this round, which is unacceptable to him.
"I'm me, I'm a pair of little kings!" Nahida happily threw out a pair of empty pairs.
Zhongli: "."
Zhongli silently threw out a pair of spades 10 in his hand, because he was such a pair of main cards, and there must be a pair of pairs, and then the other loose cards.
"Wow, my pair of 10s."
Although no one was against the main thing that made Wendy uncomfortable, Nahida's pair of little kings made him even more uncomfortable.
"One-on-two." The tassel slowly tossed out a pair of 2s of spades.
"I'm so happy, it's 60 points at once." Nahida happily received a pair of kings and two pairs of 10s in front of her.
Wendy: "."
"Again, one against 10." Nahida has two pairs, a pair of kings and a pair of 10s.
Because there is no pair, Zhongli and Wendy can only play a loose 2.
"A pair of kings." Tassel threw out a pair of glows in his hand.
Wendy exclaimed, "Wow, tassels, you have a pair of kings, why don't you come out early?" That's 80 points! β
Tassel replied with a tiger face, "I didn't break the rules." β
Wendy: "."
Nahida didn't speak, but looked at the tassel with her eyes shining, her eyes flashing, not knowing what she was thinking.
"A ten."
After the tassel finished speaking, he directly put a club ten in his own split, because the two pairs of kings have come out, and 10 is now the largest.
"Hmm."
Nahida silently threw out the last ten in her hand, while Zhongli and Wendy each lost a two.
"I'm sixty years old." Tassel put away the 10 of the plum blossoms thrown by Nahida and said with a smile.
"Isn't it, why are you so lucky?" Wendy said with a bitter face.
"Playing cards is all about luck, huh?" The tassel replied, "A 5 of hearts." β
"Ace of hearts." Nahida hurriedly threw out a walnut.
At the end of the first round, Nahida reached 105 points, Zhongli 65 points, Tassel 70 points, and Wendy 0 points.
Wendy: "."
One night, the four gods spent playing cards, and luck is not certain, the gods have won and lost, but Wendy lost a little more excitingly, always 0 points.
Early the next morning, Ying retreated from Skynet, and it seemed that she was going to have a task today, so she hurriedly got up and prepared to find Kunjun.
As a result, I saw the four gods sitting at a table next to the small waterhole and playing cards.
"Hey, this is my luck, okay? Tractor! Wendy said excitedly, and at the same time threw out AA22, which is still the main card.
"You're amazing." The tassel reluctantly threw out the two pairs of cards.
"Ah, my pair of little kings!" Nahida said uncomfortably.
"Good fight." Zhongli said silently.
Ying: "."
Ying felt as if she was in a dream, why did she wake up and these four gods were playing cards? Obviously everyone was so serious yesterday, but this morning they woke up completely changed, and when did Nahida come?
"Ying, what are you doing? We're going to call Quint again. Paimon rubbed his sleepy eyes as he flew at Yingfei.
"Wow, Zhongli, the singers, and the fishers, why are you all playing cards!"
"Hey!" Venti let out an anemo sigh at Paimon.
"What do you mean?"
Because Teyvat has the Seven Saints to summon the game, looking at the tassels and the others holding the cards, Paimon certainly knows what it is.
Wendy smiled and replied, "Hehe, isn't this what you guys are sleeping?" Let's pass the time, right? β
"Well, what you said makes sense."
Paimon scratched her head, feeling that there was something wrong with what the other person was saying, but she couldn't see what was wrong.
Ying: "."
Paimon, you can have a snack! They're not nice people.
"What about Quint? Where is he? Paimon asked.
"You go and find it, and we'll do it again." Wendy replied.
Paimon: "."
Paimon was silent for a moment and turned to Ying and said, "Let's go, Ying, these gods don't seem to be able to count on it, let's go find Quint, shall we?" β
"Quintββ! It's time to go! β
Ying and Paimon searched for him, and Paimon shouted.
"It's coming, it's just like I'm almost there."
After a while, Kunjun, who heard Paimon's voice, rushed over.
"What did Brother Kun gain?" Zhongli asked Kunjun as he played cards.
Kun Jun saw Zhongli playing cards with the other three gods, the corners of his mouth twitched a little, and he calmed down and replied: "The stones in this area are very beautiful, but there is nothing special, and I didn't see any more clues when I put my hand on it..."
"Sure enough, the memory of the ore will also change with time and environment."
After speaking, Kun Jun glanced at Zhongli, who was still playing cards, meaningfully.
Ying asked, "Did you find anything then?" β
"Well, it's not easy to summarize... Personally, I think that most of the memories that remain in the mine are recent memories. β
"Can you see without ancient memories?" Paimon asked.
Ying saw Paimon start talking, and knew that she didn't have anything to do with her for a while, so she walked behind Nahida and watched the four gods play cards.
"The rock is eternal, but time will erase many memories, and the only ones that can be preserved for a long time are those extremely strong emotions or ideas."
Paimon replied, "It's realistic, it's just like a human being." β
"Well, it makes sense, by the way, Mr. Zhongli and his friends, how long do they have to go?"
Kunjun looked at Zhongli, who was still drinking tea and playing cards slowly, and asked.
"Since Brother Kun is in a hurry, let's set off immediately."
Zhongli slowly placed the cards in his hand on the table, and then stood up in Wendy's surprised eyes.
"Old man, it's not kind, I'm going to get a grand slam here, how can you fold and run away?!" Wendy complains about Zhongli's actions.
"I think so, we can't let Kunjun wait too long." Tassel also put down the cards in his hand and said with a tiger face.
Seeing the tassel drop the cards, Nahida put the cards in her hand into the pile.
Wendy: "."
"Alright, alright, let's go."
The three gods directly lost the cards, Wendy even if it was a little uncomfortable, but there was no way, after all, playing cards is just a casual game, this time there is a task, to blame these gods for borrowing the means of the donkey down the slope is too skilled.
"Wow, that's a big tree!"
The group continued to walk forward, and then saw a large tree that was relatively tall here, and both Ying and Paimon had seen the golden tree hidden in another dimension, so a tree of this size could not shock them.
Speaking of the Golden Tree, Ying deliberately walked to the foot of the Golden Tree, and then she found out that the Golden Tree was actually virtual and could not be touched at all.
The tree in front of you and the tree next to it looked the same species, but the trunk was made of blue glowing rock, with only a layer of bark wrapped around it.
"There are still a lot of mysterious crystals on it, it's amazing." Paimon replied.
"This ancient tree."
Zhongli looked at the ancient tree and said to Ying and Kunjun: "Let's investigate separately, leave it to me over there, and I'll leave this area to you." β
"Stay safe." Ying said.
Zhongli bowed: "Hmm." β
"Do we need to do anything?" Wendy asked the tassel next to her.
Tassel glanced at Wendy and said, "Do you know what to do?" β
"I don't know, that's why I asked you."
"I don't know, what do you want to do so much, just make a move if you have a problem, I'll go fishing next to me first."
After the tassel finished speaking, she walked to the waterhole and skillfully took out the stool and threw the fishing line into the waterhole, Nahida also took out her own stool and sat next to the tassel, supporting her chin with both hands, looking at the crystal clear water.
Wendy: "."
The tassel's behavior made Wendy very helpless, so she could only take out the bench like a tassel, walk to the edge of the waterhole and sit down, take out her own wine, and take a sip with her head up.
Ying: "."
"So, what are these three here for?" Paimon complained as he looked at the three gods who were caught in fishing mode.
"Forget it, leave them alone, haven't they always been like this? Let's find out for the clues ourselves. β
"What you say makes sense." Paimon said, scratching his head.
It's not the first time I've seen the three gods like this, Ying said that she was used to it, and if a few of them did things seriously, Ying would feel strange, just like the departing Zhongli, which made Ying feel a little incomprehensible.
When Paimon thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case, and he looked up to these gods, singing, shopping, fishing, and one of them was so cute but not cute.
Paimon decided that he didn't want to do this, and turned to Kunjun and asked, "Little Kun, do you see anything worth investigating?" β
"There is only one stone stele."
Ying and Paimon followed Kunjun's line of sight and saw a stone tablet next to the book that looked quite old, and the words on it were basically blurred.
"Doesn't sound useful, I'll take a look elsewhere." Paimon said.
"Well, it's better than nothing, let's try." Kun Jun said as he sensed the stele,
Kunjun: "!! β
The memories felt from this ancient stone tablet made Kunjun feel for a while.
