Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 305 Xiaolan's incredible luck! A group of people who looked like best friends!

Inside the RV.

Kitahara Natsuhiro is acting as their driver, heading towards their destination, Hokkaido.

As for the others, they were either watching the show or playing mahjong.
Eri Kisaki, Yukiko, Ai, and Akiko Yonehara are playing mahjong, with others watching. Whoever loses is eliminated, and the other three take their place, and so on.

Yes, that's right.

In this era, mahjong has become popular in Japan.

Even Kogoro Mouri, who usually plays mahjong, goes out to play mahjong every now and then, but he loses most of the games.

Sometimes Xiaolan would be allowed to play cards, and whenever Xiaolan played, there was no chance of losing.

As a result, no one in the mahjong room would let Xiaolan play cards anymore.

Because they all rely on their own skills, but Xiaolan has nine parts luck and one part skill, how can she compete like that?

It's completely unplayable, so...
After meeting Xiaolan, this game was pretty much over.

Today, Xiaolan is not playing cards, but watching, so she won't use her luck to 'cheat'.

This wasn't even cheating for Xiaolan anymore; it was a life-or-death game where whoever was the toughest would win.

Fortunately, Xiaolan was tough enough.

After all, he's been with Conan, the Grim Reaper, and nothing's happened to him, so his life must be pretty tough.

"Mom, you should play this!" Ran sat behind Eri and began instructing her mother on how to play cards.

Although Ran relies on luck when playing cards, she does have some skill, and is definitely better than Eri Kisaki.

After all, Eri Kisaki is a lawyer; she's never played cards before.

After all, she's not like Kogoro Mouri, who does nothing all day long.

Hearing this, Fei Yingli rolled her eyes at her daughter and said irritably, "How come you're so skilled?"

"You learned it from your dad?"

A high school student, surprisingly, knows how to play cards, and is quite skilled at it.

She knew perfectly well how she had developed such excellent card skills.

Because Kogoro Mouri is someone who does everything except drugs, including playing mahjong and gambling.

Although pachinko and horse racing are legal in Japan, they are still forms of gambling!

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan's smile immediately faded, and sweat began to bead on her forehead. She gave an embarrassed smile and said, "Mom, what are you saying?"

"How could my dad teach me to play mahjong? I learned it from a TV series. Don't make wild guesses."

"Hey hey hey"

Upon hearing this, the people playing mahjong couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

After playing a few rounds of mahjong, the group became familiar with each other and learned quite a bit about Eri Kisaki.

Therefore, they all knew who Eri was talking about.

That's the now-famous Kogoro Mouri.

However, Eri Kisaki is now divorced from Kogoro Mouri and is a free woman.

Furthermore, some people who didn't know Kogoro Mouri realized that he actually had such a wild side outside, doing all sorts of things.

It is true that you cannot judge a book by its cover.

"Hehe." Conan, who was standing to the side drinking juice, squinted his eyes and couldn't help but twitch his lips. He thought to himself, "Uncle Mori's image has been shattered a lot more, but fortunately not many people know about it."

"But it's really going too far to let Xiaolan play cards, she's a high school student."

However, Conan was with Ran when she was playing cards, so he knew what was going on.

There was absolutely no skill involved; it was all pure luck.

What mahjong players dislike most is this kind of guy who's always incredibly lucky, getting lucky hands like "Heavenly Hand" or "Earthly Hand" all the time, and then winning big hands.

It's so scary.

Not only that, Xiaolan can also win big hands, even perfect hands, when playing cards on an arcade machine.

A woman with ridiculously good luck.

So now, the people in the mahjong parlor call Xiaolan "the devil's nightmare".

After hearing Ran's dry explanation, Eri sighed and said, "Fine, I won't say anything more to you."

"Don't go to those kinds of places with your dad anymore. Even if you do go, wait until you're older. You're not suited to go to those kinds of places now."

She knew very well that since she left the Mouri Detective Agency, Ran had been following Kogoro Mouri and had probably learned a lot from him.

But the things I learned weren't very good.

For example, playing mahjong is one of them.

Although playing mahjong and similar games doesn't count as gambling, betting large sums of money does.

If you gamble big, you can easily lose hundreds of thousands or even millions of yen in one night.

Therefore, it's better for girls not to learn these things.

But Xiaolan couldn't say anything.

After all, with Kogoro Mouri's many years of teaching by example, it's hard not to learn.

Of course, Kogoro Mouri didn't want Ran to learn these things either; it was just a series of unfortunate events.

"No, I just went there a few times by accident. I won't go again." Xiaolan squeezed Eri's shoulder, coaxing her mother not to worry.

"That's good." Eri nodded and continued playing cards.

Seeing that his mother wasn't pursuing the matter any further, he breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, she silently said to herself, "I will never go there again."

As a high school student, she knew it was wrong for her to go to such places, and that playing cards, like gambling, was addictive.

Last time, she beat those uncles and elders so badly they were too scared to fight back.

She won hundreds of thousands of yen in that match, but later, Kogoro Mouri lost it all back.

"Ran, you've been to a mahjong parlor before?" Sonoko nudged Ran with her elbow and said, "I've played mahjong before, but only with my family. I only played on holidays."

She knows how to play mahjong, but only a little bit.

“I used to go to the mahjong parlor to look for my dad, so I only went there a few times.”

"It's nothing," Xiaolan smiled.

After all, it's really not appropriate for a girl to go to a mahjong parlor, so let's not talk about it anymore.

But at this moment, Conan couldn't help but add, "Actually, Ran is really good at playing cards."

"He won all those uncles and elders in one go, scaring them so much that they dared not play cards anymore."

"I haven't been there for several days," Conan said quietly while sipping his juice.

"Conan!"

Ran was somewhat embarrassed and angry after Conan exposed her little secret.

But the next second, Conan grabbed the juice and ran away.

"I'll go see Mr. Kitahara and bring him some juice."

Ran watched Conan's retreating figure with a sense of helplessness.

"Wow, Ran, you're so amazing!" Sonoko said with a grin. "In that case, come to my house next time. We're not making any money, just playing around."

"How about it?"

Xiao Lan hesitated for a moment.

I just mentioned this to my mom, and it wouldn't be good to go back on my word now.

At this moment, Eri Kisaki said, "It's fine for friends to have fun together." "As for those adult places, we can just avoid them."

After saying that, Eri Kisaki discarded a five of bamboo.

then
Akiko Yonehara, Ai Haibara, and Yukiko pushed the cards down together.

"One shot, three kills! Pay up, pay up!"

All three of them smiled brightly.

A triple kill with a single shot is extremely rare.

Besides, they are all adults, so there's nothing wrong with them playing cards and gambling for money.

Besides, the money for playing cards was paid by Kitahara Natsuyu, so play as much as you want without worrying about the cost.

"Ah!" Eri Kisaki stared at the three players' cards and was completely dumbfounded.

She never imagined that she would achieve three successes in one go.

Is her skill level really that bad?

Damn it!
There was no other way but for Eri Kisaki to pay.

However, when he was taking out his money, he saw his daughter, Xiaolan, behind him.

Adding to what Conan had just said, a plan suddenly came to her mind.

"Xiao Lan, why don't you play a couple of rounds too?"

With that, Eri Kisaki 'stepped down'.

"Ah I?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan paused for a moment, pointed at herself, and looked at herself, at a loss for words.

“Yes.” Eri Kisaki pushed Ran into her seat and said, “We’re all on the same side here, it’s no big deal to hit her.”

"It's out of the way."

"Well," Xiao Lan paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll play a few rounds."

"If I lose, I'll go down, okay, Mom?"

Now that we're already seated, all we can do is play cards.

Now it's my turn.

My turn, draw a card!
The three women at the table couldn't help but laugh when they saw Xiaolan.

"Eri, you're not trying to get Ran to avenge you, are you?" Yukiko teased, though she was still using the alias Fumiyo: "Sometimes luck can be useful, but when it comes to cards, you can't rely entirely on luck."

“That’s right, that’s right,” Akiko Yonehara said. “Playing mahjong requires skill.”

Ai, standing to the side, glanced at Ran and then opened the drawer to look at the banknotes inside.

She felt that this amount of money might not be enough.

Because she had heard from Kitahara Natsuyu that Ran had an outrageous luck with cards.

Sometimes, luck really does matter more than skill.

If you get a perfect starting hand, how do you play?
Hearing this, Xiaolan smiled shyly: "Then I won't stand on ceremony. I'm just a beginner, so please go easy on me."

As she spoke, Xiaolan began to arrange the cards, but her technique was not at all like that of a beginner.

on the other hand.

Conan had already run over to Kitahara Natsuhiro and stood to the side, actually holding a bottle of Coke in his hand, and it was ice-cold.

This is a Suzuki RV, so naturally it has a small refrigerator and all sorts of other things.

After all, wealthy people know how to enjoy life.

"Conan, aren't you afraid of Ran's roundhouse kick if you keep exposing her weaknesses like this?" Kitahara Natsuhiro couldn't help but laugh.

Although the RV was large, Kitahara Natsuyu overheard their conversation and naturally knew what had just happened.

"I'm just a kid." Conan put on an innocent and romantic expression: "Ran-neechan wouldn't hold a grudge against a kid."

In other words, Conan is only there because he's a child. If it were Shinichi Kudo, he would probably have been hit with a spinning kick.

"Although you can't discipline children by hitting them, you can still use punishment, don't you think, Conan?" Kitahara Natsumi said quietly.

Upon hearing this, Conan immediately shuddered.

That damned memory resurfaced, causing his fingers to tremble involuntarily, and the school rules of Teitan Elementary School began to surface in his mind.

"Ran-neechan, you wouldn't do that, would you?" Conan forced a smile.

“Xiao Lan probably wouldn’t do that,” Kitahara Natsuyu laughed. “But it’s not certain if she encounters someone else.”

"From now on, don't cut your clothes shorter in crowded places, or you'll easily get beaten up, you know?"

He's teaching Conan about social etiquette and interpersonal relationships.

Although Conan is very smart, he is not very good at interpersonal relationships.

She is too self-centered and doesn't know how to speak properly, often offending people.

"I understand." Conan nodded, finding it quite reasonable, however...
"Teacher Kitahara, aren't you afraid something might happen if you call them all over here?"

As he said this, he glanced at the group of people playing cards behind him, and gave a particular look to the women.

Upon seeing these women, he couldn't help but shudder.

He couldn't even handle one woman, and Kitahara Natsuyu has so many women, isn't he afraid of something going wrong?

He knew very well just how ruthless a woman could be when she got angry.

Kitahara Natsuhiro was the most hated type.

And it's the kind of thing that men would hate, and women would hate too.

"Don't worry, you won't die," Kitahara Natsuyu said. "Just relax and enjoy your trip!"

"After this trip, you'll be starting school."

Upon hearing this, Conan's smile vanished, and he couldn't help but sigh, "School's starting again?"

As a high school student, he didn't want to continue going to elementary school, so the thought of starting school gave him a headache again.

Because after starting school, he had to face knowledge that was useless to him, and it also suited them, which was really annoying.

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but recall the guy who made him a primary school student.

To this day, he has no idea who these guys are, and he doesn't know when he will be able to return to his original self.

Because of Kitahara Natsuhiro, Conan was completely unaware of Gin and the others' identities, and was kept in the dark.

Kitahara Natsuhiro did this entirely for the good of Conan, Ran, and the others.

Because of this, they won't encounter any danger.

After all, in the original work, if Conan didn't have the protagonist's halo, Kogoro Mouri's family would have been wiped out long ago, and they wouldn't be living so well.

"Children should go to school. And have you finished your homework?" Kitahara Natsuhiro asked.

“I finished writing it a long time ago,” Conan nodded.

There wasn't much homework, and he finished it in a few days. It wasn't difficult for him at all.

"That's good."

At that moment, gasps of surprise came from inside the RV.

"How did they win?"

"Xiao Lan, you're terrifying!"

The Mahjong Killer, Xiao Lan, has arrived!
