After calling him "minister", Koda pointed at Jiang Xu and said, "He is the freshman I told you about yesterday who got perfect marks in the assessment. In that game, the fourth person was secretly touched, although the last one who touched his beard was a freshman named Nagase. , but he gave it to Nagase after he assembled the cards, Riei."
Xiao Linyuan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
"Hello, classmate, I am Xiao Linyuan, the president of the Mahjong Club."
"I also understand your assessment paper. I believe your mahjong foundation is very solid."
"With your level, classmate Jiang Xu, if you want to join the Mahjong Club and become a full member, I naturally agree."
"A formal member." Jiang Xu nodded and changed the subject, "What if I want to become a regular member?"
Regular members are selected from among the official members and are the strongest members who can represent the school in competitions.
It can be said that every official member wants to become a regular member, participate in events, and compete for honors. The competition for places is extremely fierce.
If someone enters, someone must exit.
Xiao Linyuan's expression remained unchanged: "I don't have the final say to become a regular member. You must first prove that you are strong enough to challenge for a seat on the regular list."
"how to prove?"
Jiang Xu narrowed his eyes and said.
"It's very simple." Xiao Linyuan's eyes moved to Koda and other official members in the back, "You and..."
"You want me to play a round with you! Got it, no problem."
Jiang Xu suddenly said something different.
Huh! What happened? Why are you suddenly going to fight with the president?
Yuri Sakano was stunned for a moment, and after she came to her senses, she immediately called out Jiang Xu's name in a hurry: "Jiang Xu! You can't..."
But before she could say anything, she saw Xiao Linyuan looking at Jiang Xu's face, thinking for a moment, and nodded in agreement.
"Can."
"But it's been a long time to play a half village, so let's play a Dongfeng field." Xiao Linyuan said calmly.
Dongfeng field!
Banno Yuri's eyes lit up, and she quietly tugged on Jiang Xu's clothes, signaling for him to agree.
If it was just the Dongfeng Field, Jiang Xu would not be beaten to the point of losing his confidence.
After all, the minister's ability reaches its peak most of the time in Nanfeng Field, reaching another level where he is very powerful.
At that time, ordinary people were like chess pieces at the mercy of players like them who had reached another level, with no ability to resist. The feeling was extremely desperate.
People with weak hearts may be beaten to the point where they lose confidence in mahjong and never feel any fun again.
If it was just the Dongfeng Bureau, that would be better.
At most, the loss will be ugly and there won’t be too much torture.
Moreover, after the card game is over, the minister will definitely put forward sharp suggestions for improvement based on the shortcomings of the members.
This makes many club members love and hate playing cards with the minister.
"Are you just willing to play Dongfeng Field?"
Jiang Xu touched his chin and nodded in agreement, "Okay. Then let's just fight one Dongfeng field. It just so happens that I have other things to do after I finish the fight."
After all, he is also a formal member of the Kendo Club, and he still has to go to the Kendo Club every day.
"But it takes four people to start a mahjong game. Mr. Sakano, can I trouble you for a round?"
Jiang Xu turned his attention to Yuri Banno, who was shocked, angry, nervous, and happy for a while, and smiled slightly.
"Ah, me, no problem."
Yuri Banno pointed at herself and after confirming that Jiang Xu had not asked the wrong person, she readily agreed without hesitation.
"But even if you include me, there is still one person left. Who among you will come?"
She turned to look at the few members who were in the office before.
"No no no."
"I'll forget it, I still have work, work."
"Alas, I can't do it either. I also promised a second-year club member to give him music lessons today."
Seeing Yuri Banno glance over, several people shook their heads and waved their hands, saying that they had something to do.
Everyone is a seasoned person, even though the president doesn't seem to have any emotions from his appearance.
However, no one dares to take the risk and encounter this bad luck.
After all, even in the Dongfeng Bureau, as long as there are extra games and extra games, it is still torture.
They all know the minister's character. The more they like him, the more they will torture him.
Also known as exercise.
They don't want to be treated as gifts and trained together.
"It's just a Dongfeng game. Why don't we all have something to do and can't spare this little time?"
Yuri Sakano pouted in dissatisfaction.
Just when she wanted to see who didn't say something was wrong with her, she caught a glimpse of Koda who was secretly trying to hide his body behind others to avoid attracting attention.
Not only him, Jiang Xu's eyes and Xiao Linyuan's eyes were all looking at him.
The next moment, the others followed their gazes and stared at Koda together.
A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.
The organization has supported you for so many years, and it's time for you to be loyal.
Koda, come on, it’s you who decides!
Several official members who had a very good relationship with him did not speak, but their eyes revealed everything.
Koda's body suddenly froze, his face twitched, and he forced out an extremely stiff smile.
"Then add me."
A few minutes later, through several official members publicizing it in the group, the entire Mahjong Club knew the news.
There was a new student who had just become an official member today, and he actually had to compete directly with the director. The stakes were Koda's qualifications for the main election.
Koda:? ? ? I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense.
In front of Xiao Linyuan, he knew his position very clearly and had a good match.
I don’t ask for a single person, I don’t ask for bad cards, I just ask not to be accidentally hurt.
But then he thought about it, Dongfeng Field seemed to be really okay.
It seems that the minister really wants to test the mahjong level of this exchange student named Jiang Xu.
only...
Koda recalled how the new student named Jiang Xu made him feel after playing cards at the table yesterday.
A bad premonition arose in his heart.
Although he has great trust in the minister's past performance, what if the minister underestimates the other party and ends up overturning?
Do you want to remind the minister?
Koda was extremely confused.
Just as his thoughts kept changing.
The news had already spread throughout the Mahjong Club.
Whether they were formal members or pre-selected members, they all came immediately.
When Jiang Xu filled out the formal application for joining the ministry and came out of the office.
The stage in the middle area of the Mahjong Club has been surrounded by two circles of club members who came to watch the game, and they are still coming in a steady stream.
There was no change in the expressions of Jiang Xu and Xiao Linyuan.
Koda and Yuri Sakano couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
With so many acquaintances watching, if you play the wrong cards, you will be laughed at for a week, and you will be fined to copy and recite the cards.
However, Koda felt more worried about Kobayashi Yuan.
You have to think of a way to remind the minister not to treat the other party as a pure newcomer.
The opponent's four-point score in the game yesterday afternoon was no accident.
Koda felt something vaguely.
His sparrow-level proficiency, if divided according to Jiang Xu's system, can reach 70% of entry level, which is considered a little master among ordinary people.
This is already a level of proficiency that can advance to the realm of root building.
Not everyone wants to, and even if they want to, not everyone can break through to the realm of root building with a perfect foundation.
However, the more perfect and solid the foundation, the higher the probability of being promoted to the root-building realm. After promotion, no matter which school you follow, your ability will be stronger, and it will be easier and smoother to advance to a higher realm in the future.
How should I remind the minister?
Koda's mind was racing and he glanced at a mahjong table with a horizontal stick. Suddenly an idea flashed and he asked in a curious tone.
"Classmate Jiang Xu, I remember that the Richi stick you took out yesterday was a souvenir given to the top four of the Rose Cup. I wonder where you are specifically ranked?"
As soon as Koda finished speaking, Yuri Sakano blurted out.
"The semi-finalists of the Rose Cup! That souvenir stick? It is said that they have been blessed by the gods, which will increase their luck and the rate of winning cards!"
She said with envy, "I really want it, but it's a pity that there is no Quezhuang in my home that can host the Rose Cup, otherwise I would definitely give it a try."
"I also want to know, Jiang Xu, how many places you got in the end. However, even if you are only the fourth best, your sparrow level should be much better than mine."
Speaking of this, Yuri Sakano pursed her lower lip, with a hint of surprise and regret in her tone.
She also wants to take advantage of teaching opportunities to further develop the relationship.
Jiang Xu smiled slightly and said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Of course... one."
"One... one!"
Even Koda, who asked this question, couldn't help but hold his breath.
In Sakurajima, a country where mahjong is played by all the people, the folk masters of mahjong are a bit like the table tennis masters in the previous life, and masters emerge in endlessly.
Even if it’s just a mahjong parlor on the roadside, you can walk in and take a look around.
It's normal to meet a Zhugen, it's not unusual to change your mind when you meet someone, and it's okay to meet a high-ranking person.
I don’t know why, but the more expert a sparrow player is, the more he likes to mingle among ordinary people.
Maybe for them, ordinary people don't play cards according to the tiles at all, and they don't play the cards according to common sense, but it can add a bit of unpredictable fun to mahjong.
However, under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for these experts to participate in regular street competitions such as the Yueji Cup.
Because this is a competition established by Konten Shrine to promote Sakurajima Sparrow.
The rules of the shrine, for most of them, especially those who know deeper secrets, are prohibitions that cannot be violated.
Unless the card luck he relies on no longer comes from this world.
To sum up, in most cases, the person who can win the first place in the Rose Cup does not have the strength to build a root, but it is quite close.
At the very least, he is better than both Koda and Yuri Banno.
Even Xiao Linyuan couldn't help but move his eyes slightly when he heard this information, and looked sideways at Jiang Xu.
He has become a professional reserve player, and his future opponents of the same generation are all starting out. A few perverts are close to the stage where they can be called the mainstay even in the profession.
For Xiao Linyuan now, his top priority is to train his members with all his strength, prepare for the last national high school mahjong competition that he can participate in, and achieve a better ranking.
Although Jiang Xu was also a senior in high school, he had enough potential that he paid more attention to it.
'Although it's just Dongfeng Field, I can still test the limits of his current card strength later. Know the shortcomings. '
A lot of people have gathered around the middle stage of the Mahjong Club, leaving only a way to go up to the high platform.
Kobayashi Yuan walked in the front, followed by Koda, followed by Jiang Xu and Yuri Sakano.
Fortunately, this was not the first time for them to see this kind of battle. After entering the card table, even Koda and Yuri Sakano, who were a little nervous at first, calmed down.
Facts have proved that regular training is still useful.
Without this training, most people would be involuntarily nervous during the actual competition, which would affect their performance.
Someone placed four upside-down wind cards on the card table in advance.
All four people took a card at random and decided the order of the game.
The first village of Koda, the second village of Jiang Xu, the third village of Yuri Sakano, and the second village of Kobayashi Genwei.
Ta-ta!
Wait until the four people are seated.
Someone pressed the light switch on the ceiling.
All the lights on the ceiling lit up in an instant.
The bright light shines vertically on the mahjong table.
Koda and Yuri Sakano couldn't help but squint their eyes to get used to the light.
Jiang Xu, however, didn't even blink. He stared at the four tile walls rising from the mahjong machine and moved his wrists.
The head of the Sparrow Club on the opposite side was also staring at the gradually rising wall of cards, without looking at his opponent's expression at this time.
The surrounding audience held their breath with great discipline and did not make a sound.
The dazzling lights are like a barrier, blocking out external interference.
Jiang Xu felt that time and space were blurring in a trance.
The audience in the audience all became an elongated background.
"Ouch~"
A clear cry like a dragon or a bird sounded, faintly visible, echoing in the ears.
Just when Jiang Xu subconsciously wanted to explore the source of the sound, the sound suddenly became distant and unsearchable.
Jiang Xu suddenly opened his eyes, and his momentum changed in an instant that could not be described in words.
Koda, who had a keener sense at the card table, trembled. He didn't know what happened, but felt an invisible pressure coming on him.
Is this... minister? !
But isn’t it true that ministers usually work in the Nanfeng Bureau? Could it be that his ability has been enhanced again!
Besides, when playing mahjong with the club members for assessment, are you going to use all your strength so early?
Even if I take it seriously, I don’t let you take it so seriously!
Fortunately, that momentum quickly subsided.
After Koda breathed a sigh of relief, he raised his head and wanted to ask Kobayashi what happened with his eyes.
However, he saw Xiao Linyuan looking at Jiang Xu opposite him with a puzzled and incomprehensible expression.
The other party has definitely reached the Root Establishment Realm!
At this moment, both sides confirmed the other's state.
It has broken through the root-building realm.
Xiao Linyuan's eyes suddenly became a little more serious.
Still, no worries.
In last year's national competition, he met quite a few Zhugen, but his winning rate still ranked among the best.
Before the official fight, both Jiang Xu and Xiao Linyuan believed that they were the final winner.
However, no matter what the competition is, there is always only one real winner!
It’s useless to say more!
Let the fight begin!
