Chapter 979 Messiah: I Think You Are Targeting Me
It has been almost three years since Qiao Xiu touched mahjong, but Qiao Xiu clearly remembers all the rules of mahjong.
This game is also an ancient game that is a bit difficult to get started with. When Qiao Xiu first introduced the rules, at least half of the people in the room were confused.
So much so that the only people who can sit at the same table and compete with Qiao Xiu now are Heluolia, Mrs. Nishizawa... and the man in gray who has already mastered the art of Go.
Twenty minutes had passed since everyone entered the room where the man in purple was teaching. Qiao Xiu spent the first ten minutes explaining the rules of mahjong, and the last ten minutes was spent on the game of mahjong.
After it was Qiao Xiu's turn, Qiao Xiu stretched out his hand and touched a 90,000 yuan. Qiao Xiu took a look at his hole card and threw the 90,000 yuan directly.
When Heluolia saw the cards thrown out by Qiao Xiu, like a hunter who had been observing his prey for a long time, Heluolia directly reached out and took the 90,000 that Qiao Xiu threw out.
"Is this the wild card you're talking about?" Heluolia directly displayed his trump card on the table with his hand.
"So...it's still the same."
Qiao Xiu once again realized how terrifying this saint's ability to understand was. Heluolia was like a goddess of order with full emotional intelligence.
While the man in gray and Mrs. Caesar were still in the exploratory stage, she had already figured out how to 'win more' in this game.
"Fortunately, we didn't bet on anything weird this time."
Qiao Xiu pushed down his trump card and mixed it into the table to indicate that the round was over.
"Qiao Xiu, what is the difference between Qingyise and other hu cards..." The man in gray showed extraordinary interest in this game. For an old man like him, mahjong is even more attractive than Go.
"Although Hu cards are a way to win, they are also divided into levels... If we raise the bet, we will probably have to pay Miss Heluolia... eight times or twenty-four times the bet." Qiao Xiu said.
"This game looks like some kind of gambling?"
Messiah, who had been standing behind Heluolia, reacted instantly.
"Of course you have to bet something when playing mahjong."
Qiao Xiu's words caused an inexplicable cold feeling behind Mesai.
"Ahem, Mr. Qiao Xiu, this is an interesting game." Mrs. Nishizawa coughed slightly after playing a few games and said, "But you came to us here... you shouldn't be here to play this."
"Of course not. I want to hand over the film aspect of the World Culture Exhibition to Falosi."
Qiao Xiu said to Mrs. Nishizawa while cleaning up the mahjong tiles that had been mixed up on the table.
"World Culture Exhibition?"
"The name of the exhibition I just thought of is simple and direct." Qiao Xiu said, "I decided to hold an award ceremony for the film aspect of this exhibition, Best Film Award, Best Actor, Best Actress and so on."
"Your proposal sounds a bit like Falosi's Geneves Award, an award that academic artists are keen on, and I am one of them."
Mrs. Nishizawa is a standard academic-born artist, and she certainly values the highest honor in the Falosian art world.
"I remember that the award was evaluated among the nobles. I'm afraid... it's not very clean, right?" Qiao Xiu said a description that all Falosi nobles were taboo about.
"Well...the winners of the awards each year are basically determined by the tutors of each college, but there is still a publicity involved."
Mrs. Nishizawa, who knew the inside story, could not deny Qiao Xiu's guess, but truthfully told Qiao Xiu her specific feelings.
"This would be meaningless at all. The film awards at the World Culture Exhibition will be based on audience voting. I still hope Falosi can help with the design of the trophy, as well as the design of the venue."
"Audience vote?"
When Mrs. Nishizawa heard this, she wouldn't be stupid enough to say something like, 'What kind of art appreciation do those civilians have?'
She spent a few minutes discussing in detail with Qiao Xiu the various awards that needed to be awarded this time.
"Best Screenplay Award, Best Score, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, etc..."
Qiao Xiu counted more than ten awards on his fingers, but Mrs. Nishizawa finally took a note and wrote them down.
"Can you also write down Mrs. Caesar as the organizer?" Qiao Xiu made the last request.
"I am glad to."
After thinking for a while, Mrs. Nishizawa agreed to all Qiao Xiu's requests.
After the discussion on the film part of the exhibition ended, Mrs. Caesar wanted to get up and leave. As a matter of course, Jialuoli was fostered by Mrs. Caesar to the Hearthstone Tavern.
After seeing her mother leave, the flower of Faloshi couldn't wait to sit on her mother's part of the mahjong table.
"Qiao Xiu...it's time for me to set up the barrier in the Crystal Palace."
Although the man in gray wanted to stay and play a few more games, when an owl stood on his head and pecked his head, the man in gray had to stand up and leave.
"Goodbye, mentor."
Sheil watched the man in gray leave the classroom. After waving, she glanced at Shirley next to Qiao Xiu.
Shirley pointed directly at the seat vacated by the man in gray, meaning to ask Sheil to sit down without being polite.
"Do you still want to fight?" Qiao Xiu asked.
"Definitely! And... let's bet something."
Jialuoli already had this idea when she was watching her mother play.
The flower of Falosi once again showed that little devil-like smile inadvertently.
"Want to gamble?" Shayil didn't understand the intention of Jialuoli's smile, so she naively took out a bag of gold coins and placed it next to the table.
"This is too vulgar! Let's bet..." Jialuoli thought for a while and came up with a great idea, "Whoever loses, let's take off one piece of clothing."
Qiao Xiu almost fell to the ground when he heard Jialuoli's suggestion.
"In a sense... isn't this even more vulgar!"
Before Qiao Xiu could speak, Missai refuted Jialuoli's suggestion.
Qiao Xiu glanced at Jialuoli at this time. This flower of Falosi came prepared. The black dress she was wearing was so complicated that one piece could be counted as three pieces.
"Don't take off your clothes. Let's put on clothes instead." Qiao Xiu refolded the mahjong that had been messed up on the table. "I'm going to invite some people at the World Culture Exhibition... to wear costumes from games and movies. How about playing a role in a game or movie in this way, each person has twenty-five thousand points, one thousand points per game, and whoever loses all the points first must play a designated role, how about that?"
When Missai heard Qiao Xiu's suggestion, she immediately took a few steps back cautiously. She might have regretted following Heluolia to find Qiao Xiu at this time.
As Messiah expected...Heluolia accepted Qiao Xiu's bet directly.
