When sitting at the card table and talking to Qingque.
The system prompt also appeared in front of Lin Shuang very promptly:
[Target: Qingque]
[Favorability: 58 (Friendly and Expecting)]
[Relationship: None]
['Because I successfully attracted a new Celestial Jade partner, I am looking forward to winning your credits from you.']
Seeing that favorability, Lin Shuang was happy.
Because I sat down with you to play cards, has my favorability rating almost reached 60?
It's really easy to increase your favorability.
If I find a chance to make you a beautiful piece of Celestial Jade and give it to you, your favorability rating will explode on the spot.
With this in mind, the game started smoothly.
Certainly.
Lin Shuang is not a professional Mplayer. Besides, Celestial Jade is 90% similar to the mahjong she knows, but there are still some differences.
Qingque also had to be there to help point out a few rules.
So in these ten games, Lin Shuang won eight in a row.
But who could have thought that Qingque would hold on to such a big hand that she won two big hands in a row and made back all the money she had lost before?
"Look, look, what did I say! Even with the beginner's luck, my luck today is still unstoppable!"
Qingque had just finished speaking proudly and then seemed to remember that Lin Shuang was a newcomer after all, so she suddenly turned around, scratched her head at Lin Shuang, and smiled foolishly.
"Oh, sometimes I don't think before I speak. Don't mind it. It's just like that at first when you're not familiar with the rules. Once you play a few more times, you'll become a big shot."
Of course Lin Shuang didn't care. She didn't come to play cards to win money. She would consider it a success if she could win a few more times.
Just hearing the clanging sounds of Celestial Jade tiles on the table made Lin Shuang feel a sense of familiarity.
And Qingque is quite cute when it smiles.
Lin Shuang did not hide it, staring at Qingque and smiling, saying:
"It's okay. It's normal to win and lose when playing games."
"Oh, well said. Games are about winning and losing. We just play for fun. I'm determined to make you my friend."
Qingque hadn't said anything yet, but a Celestial Jade player sitting next to Lin Shuang couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
They often get together to play cards because no matter whether they win or lose, their emotions remain stable, unlike some people who would change their faces after losing a lot.
The Qingque on the opposite side obviously agreed with this point, nodded seriously, and said while shaking her head:
"Hey, Miss Lin, that's a good mentality. It's rare to find a newcomer who is so good-tempered and good-looking."
While talking.
Qingque's favorability jumped again.
[Target: Qingque]
[Favorability: 63 (Like-minded Celestial Jade player)]
[Relationship: None]
['My new poker partner is a beautiful girl who is suitable for playing Celestial Jade regularly. I'm lucky!']
You're sixty already?
Lin Shuang was speechless for a moment.
Girl, you are really good at this.
After it turns sixty and confirms a relationship, you can draw a card.
After thinking about it, Lin Shuang took over the topic.
"I will probably stay on Xianzhou for a while. If you don't mind, you can play cards with me on weekdays."
"Okay, okay, the more people playing cards, the better."
Qingque was the first to express her welcome, and the other two also nodded in agreement.
Then, the system refreshed again.
[Target: Qingque]
[Favorability: 63 (Like-minded Celestial Jade player)]
[Relationship: Celestial Jade friends]
['My new poker partner is a beautiful girl who is suitable for playing poker regularly. I'm lucky!']
[Reward: Draw a green card once.]
Here it comes.
Lin Shuang looked at the green card drawing and chose to draw the card without hesitation!
A familiar green light flashed, but as expected, no miracle happened, and the green object still appeared.
Then, as always, the corners of Lin Shuang's mouth drooped.
[Cheating Techniques (Master Level)]
['What a rare skill! With it, your ability to steal and rob is unmatched!']
['If you want, even the Master Diviner Fu Xuan can't tell that you are cheating in front of her.']
Who cares about this stuff...?
Lin Shuang almost couldn't help but overturn the table in frustration.
Even if it is related to Qingque, isn't this ability a bit too outrageous?
Especially the large number of cheating techniques and methods that were poured into her mind made Lin Shuang feel that if she used them, she would probably be beaten to death.
You are cheating in front of a diviner, right?
Why don't you say that you are a Mara-Struck Creature in front of the Cloud Knights?
At least it saves some trouble later.
Come back to her senses.
The new cards have been stacked.
At this moment, Lin Shuang suddenly felt that the game was different.
This skill not only strengthens hand dexterity but also has a large number of supporting board game skills.
After acquiring so many skills at once, when Lin Shuang looked at the game again, she had a subtle feeling of looking at the overall situation and making plans.
At the same time, Qingque's brisk voice sounded from the other side:
"Hey, what a lucky hand! Sorry, everyone."
Qingque blinked and smiled, then played the tiles in her hand confidently.
Start killing!
…
However--
"I drew it by myself, and I won."
Lin Shuang's calm voice shattered Qingque's hopes.
She stared with wide eyes at the card that was pushed over by Lin Shuang.
It's a complete failure, my friend.
Although the other two players also lost, they were actually smiling at this moment.
Qingque was just focusing on making big wins, so she set her odds extremely high.
Who knew that Lin Shuang secretly became a master, causing the plan to fail in the end?
This time, the other two only lost slightly, but Qingque was defeated badly.
She vomited out all the money she had won.
Losing is losing, Qingque said with a smile:
"Lucky times have come, my friend! You can still win at this critical moment? Come on, let's play another round!"
"…"
"…"
However, no one responded to Qingque's words, and there was silence.
The other two poker players covered their mouths and coughed softly, but Lin Shuang didn't want to cough.
But seeing that the two people around her were doing the same, she covered her mouth and coughed twice insincerely.
Looking down at Qingque shuffling the cards, her whole body froze suddenly, and she looked up suddenly, with a nervous expression, a mixture of despair and a bit of expectation.
She stared straight at Lin Shuang.
In this situation, as smart as she is, she has already calculated what she will face.
Come on, my brain! Come up with a way to save this situation!
Looking at Qingque shrinking her neck and her brain working frantically, Lin Shuang couldn't help but want to laugh, and the other two were almost the same.
Then the coughing sound suddenly became louder.
I just love to see the cute Qingque looking deflated.
Then, behind Qingque, whose heart was completely dead, a voice with suppressed anger sounded quietly:
"Qingque..."
"Master Diviner, spare my life!"
She saw Qingque trembling all over.
Then she turned around very smoothly, took out a very cute dumpling from somewhere, showed a bright smile, and handed it to Fu Xuan with both hands.
The other two poker players, except Lin Shuang, stood up and ran away very tactfully without any hesitation.
Only Lin Shuang was left standing there to continue watching the fun.
"Qingque, do you have anything else to quibble about?"
For the sake of the dumpling and Lin Shuang, Fu Xuan plans to give her a chance.
"Master Diviner, I am really working today. This is the order you personally gave yesterday. You can't go against your will!"
Fu Xuan's expression, which had originally eased because of the dumpling, suddenly turned even darker when she heard this!
"Okay, okay! I remember that you usually go to Exalting Sanctum, so I specially arranged for you to come here to receive guests today. But you work from morning till night, and you even dare to skip the attendance of of the Divination Commission. You are not allowed to leave work until you make up for the missed working hours today!"
Qingque's face was immediately covered with tears, and her aggrieved little mouth was almost pouted to the sky.
"No, Master Diviner! You might as well just deduct my salary for two days, three days, or even a week. It's not necessary to overwork me."
"You have to work this shift! Tomorrow, you must come to work in front of me on time!"
"My life is over—"
Qingque, dead.
