Chapter 277

A picture of a table was posted in the group, which left many people confused.

They couldn't figure out what kind of table it was.

After sending the picture, Takumi also shared the rules of mahjong.

Once that was done, he no longer paid attention to the chat.

It didn't take long for Zhongli and the others to arrive.

Seeing them, Takumi quickly greeted them.

"Come on, let's play this."

"I'll explain the rules."

"It's a gambling game."

Takumi began explaining the game to everyone.

After listening to Takumi's explanation, Zhongli became very interested.

Not just him—Hu Tao and Kamisato Ayaka were also intrigued.

Once they all understood the rules, they sat down and started playing.

After a few rounds, when they had all gotten the hang of it, Takumi suddenly spoke up:

"It's boring to play like this."

"Let's make it more interesting."

"You all have Mora on you, right?"

Hearing this, Hu Tao blinked.

"Are you suggesting we bet Mora?"

"Alright!"

"No problem."

Of course, Hu Tao wasn't foolish. She immediately understood Takumi's intention.

Betting Mora?

That was a great idea.

"I'm fine with that," Kamisato Ayaka also nodded.

Then, everyone turned their gaze toward Zhongli.

Feeling their stares, Zhongli fell silent.

"Hu Tao, hand me my salary."

Hearing his words, Takumi almost burst into laughter.

Hu Tao just rolled her eyes.

"Good grief!"

"Your salary?"

"You actually dare to mention that?"

"If I had known, I wouldn't have accepted your money."

"Your salary has already been spent!"

"Not long ago, you bought a vase for 50,000 Mora."

"And just yesterday, you spent 70,000 Mora on a stone."

"And besides…"

Was a 100,000 Mora salary a lot?

It was gone in just two days.

And now, you're telling me to hand it over?

Would you like a Gnosis instead?

At this moment, Zhongli looked a little embarrassed.

"Hmm…"

"If I don't have money, I can't play."

Zhongli had thick skin, and instead, he turned to Takumi.

Seeing this, Takumi chuckled.

"How about I pay you your salary in advance?"

"That way, I won't have to send it to you later."

Advancing his salary?

After thinking for a moment, Zhongli agreed.

"That works."

Seeing this, Takumi immediately smiled.

He took out one million Mora and handed it to Zhongli.

Suddenly, a large box of Mora appeared beside Zhongli.

"Well, now I won't have to pay you for the next ten months."

Takumi's face was filled with satisfaction as he spoke.

At the same time, he took out his phone and sent a message to Keqing.

For the next ten months, Zhongli wouldn't receive any salary.

It had all been paid in advance.

After receiving Takumi's message, Keqing was confused.

What happened?

Why did the former Geo Archon request an advance on his salary?

For a moment, Keqing was full of doubts.

But soon, she didn't think much of it and simply recorded it down.

After handling that, Takumi continued playing mahjong with Zhongli and the others.

Seeing the box of Mora beside Zhongli, Hu Tao's eyes sparkled.

She wished she could take it all.

But after thinking for a moment, an idea formed in her mind.

She would win it all at the mahjong table.

With that thought, Hu Tao became even more eager to play.

The three of them shuffled the tiles and resumed the game.

After a few more rounds, everyone had fully grasped the rules.

Now that they understood the game, they played more seriously.

However, once the real game began, everyone was stunned.

Because Takumi kept winning.

Not only was he taking Mora from Zhongli, but he was also winning against Hu Tao and Kamisato Ayaka.

Of course, it wasn't that they never won.

But Takumi was winning the most.

He kept draining Zhongli's Mora away.

And also took Mora from Hu Tao and Ayaka.

At this moment, the former Geo Archon had fallen into deep contemplation.

Was Takumi cheating?

Zhongli looked up at Takumi.

Takumi also looked up at Zhongli.

A faint blue glow flickered in Takumi's eyes.

Yes, Takumi was using special abilities.

With the power of the Herrscher, calculating the game's probabilities was trivial.

Of course, Zhongli's keen senses picked up on this.

So, this little rascal was doing it on purpose, huh?

He deliberately advanced Zhongli's salary just to take it back?

This…!

Thinking of this, Zhongli suddenly felt exasperated.

This wouldn't do.

Muttering to himself, he pondered while playing.

Takumi noticed Zhongli's thoughtful expression and understood that the former Archon had caught on.

But that was fine.

Zhongli probably didn't care much about money anyway.

By the end of the night, Zhongli had lost all his Mora to Takumi.

Of course, Takumi didn't keep it all.

Instead, he let Hu Tao and Kamisato Ayaka win a few hundred thousand each.

The two winners were thrilled.

Especially Hu Tao.

She was absolutely delighted.

"Heh!"

"Zhongli, you're really unlucky."

"Are you feeling dumbfounded now?"

"All your Mora is ours now."

She felt immensely proud.

Hearing this, Zhongli rolled his eyes.

He stared at the mahjong tiles in front of him, lost in thought.

It seemed that he could use this to make a fortune from Childe.

That guy ran a bank, so he must have plenty of Mora.

Thinking of this, Zhongli turned to Takumi.

"Make me another mahjong table."

"I'm going to find new players."

Hearing Zhongli's request, Takumi instantly understood what he was thinking.

Good grief, was he planning to get his lost Mora back from Childe?

"Alright!"

"I'll make you one."

With that, Takumi waved his hand.

A new mahjong table appeared beside them.

Zhongli immediately put it away.

"Thanks."

Without another word, he stood up and left.

Seeing this, Hu Tao was puzzled.

"Hey, hey, hey! Shouldn't Zhongli be mad?"

"Why did he just walk away?"

Hearing her, Takumi smiled.

"He's off to find a new target."

"Since no one else knows how to play yet, he's planning to make some Mora."

"After all, Childe runs the Northland Bank."

Hearing this, Hu Tao's eyes gleamed.

Oh, right!

That rich fool!

Hu Tao and Childe had always been rivals in pranks.

Now, she saw an opportunity.

Well, well, there was a big fish waiting to be caught.

With that thought, Hu Tao got up and ran after Zhongli.

"Wait for me, Zhongli!"

"Bring me along to make Mora!"

Watching this scene, Takumi shook his head helplessly.

Good grief.

Were these two really about to fleece Childe dry?
