Studying biochemistry in anime is definitely a mistake

——But why did he choose Riichi only now? Was it for the one-shot? That shouldn't be the case. When he draws the next round, the card he draws happens to be a broken one, a nine-sock. He absolutely cannot win with this one.

While Mr. Benyuan was still thinking about the problem, his previous player had already reached out to the card pile to draw a card.

"Wait! My turn isn't over yet!"

Nan Tianren suddenly interrupted his next move by saying:

"In addition to riichi! I'm also going to do a showdown!"

As Nan Tianren spoke, he pushed down all the mahjong tiles in front of him - one tube, three tubes, four tubes, four tubes, five tubes, six tubes, seven tubes, seven tubes, eight tubes, eight tubes, nine tubes, and nine tubes.

"Humph!"

Seeing Nan Tianren's cards, Mr. Motohara couldn't help but laugh contemptuously.

──What is this? A single-hanging two-tube hand? Not to mention that two two-tube hands have been played, I still have one in my hand. Even if the other two people don’t have two-tube hands, there is only one two-tube hand in the deck. In this case, I still want to hang two-tube hand, and show my cards! This is simply a foolish dream! Sure enough! All my worries before! They are all unnecessary!

Just when Mr. Benyuan was still laughing at Nan Tianren's ignorance and stupidity in his heart, it was his turn to draw the cards. However, just as he stretched out his hand towards the pile of cards in front of Nan Tianren, a strange and strong sense of incongruity once again surged into his heart.

──Wait a minute, could it be that the next card I'm going to draw is the two-tube? He calculated that after I got riichi, I could only draw one card and play one, so he deliberately got riichi at this time.

——But this is impossible. There is nothing missing on this card. Even if his memory is much better than that of an ordinary person, even if he can remember all the defects on the mahjong tiles when he sits down and shuffles the cards, he will never be able to know what this card is!

Mr. Benyuan thought so and put his hand directly on the mahjong tile. However, it was not until he touched the mahjong tile with his own hands that he finally realized what made this mahjong tile different from other mahjong tiles.

──This is oil! And it's me! I just ate it! The oil from the pork chop sandwich!

"What's wrong? Mr. Motohara, you're shaking."

Nan Tianren suddenly raised his head, touched the oil stains on his clothes that were smeared by Mr. Benyuan, and said to Mr. Benyuan with a smirk on his face.

"Stop kidding me! This card! Absolutely! Absolutely!! Absolutely!!! It's not the two-tube card!!!!"

Mr. Benyuan gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and turned over the mahjong tile directly - it was the second tube!

"Rong! Let me do the math. Riichi is one point, Ippuku is one point, Ichikukou is one point, Ichikutongguan is two points, Qingyisui is six points, and Libao is two points, totaling thirteen points. The total accumulated yakuman is thirty-two thousand points. That's three million and two hundred thousand yen. Oh, yes, there's also one thousand points for Riichi stick, so the total is three million and three hundred thousand yen. Cash or card?"

Nan Tianren maintained a smirk on his face and continued to ask Mr. Motohara.

"Here... is three million yen."

Mr. Benyuan sighed, took out a bag from his side and handed it to Nan Tianren.

"We still need 300,000 yen."

Nan Tianren said to Mr. Motohara while counting the money.

"I'm sorry, this is all the money I brought today, but I have another piece of information. I wonder if it can be worth 300,000 yen."

"Oh? Information? Tell me about it."

"I wonder if you have ever heard of an underground casino?"

"Underground casino? Never heard of it!"

Nan Tianren shook his head.

"The so-called underground casino is a casino located underground..."

"I really listen to your words. From what you said, you are talking. Although I won a lot of money from you, you don't have to bully me. Why are you talking to me?"

Nan Tianren stood up and picked up the white plastic chair under his butt.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Stop! Stop! I haven't finished talking yet! Back off! Back off! Back off!"

Mr. Motohara retreated while pointing at Nan Tianren who was approaching.

"It's okay, you talk and I fight, we won't waste any time! Keep going!"

"Okay, okay, no problem. I'm telling you what's mine. That's not right! Wait a minute! Put the chair down first! Put the chair down first! Put the chair down! Put the chair down!"

Chapter 4 Underground Casino

Five minutes later.

"Okay, I'm done. This one million yen is for your medical expenses. Please continue."

Nan Tianren took out a stack of banknotes from Mr. Benyuan's purse, threw it back to him, then squatted beside him and continued.

"Ahem! Okay, let me continue... I'm sure you know that gambling is illegal in this country. Even if you want to play marbles, you have to get the marbles from the first store, go to the second store to exchange the marbles for gifts, and then go to the third store to exchange the gifts for money, thus bypassing the legal restrictions."

"It's just pachinko, everyone knows that."

"Since you know this, it's easy to explain. This underground casino, that is, the casino located underground..."

"You're itching for more, aren't you? You think the beating you just received wasn't painful enough?"

Nan Tianren stood up and reached out to the white plastic chair beside him again.

"Please let me finish my words! Okay? This kind of underground casino is essentially similar to the first store in the pachinko system just mentioned. That is, you get chips from the underground casino, go to the second store to exchange the chips for gifts, and then go to the third store to exchange the gifts for money.

However, even if completely formal and legal pachinko shops have circumvented legal restrictions to a certain extent through this "three-store model", each shop itself still needs to comply with corresponding legal restrictions.

For example, the first category of pachinko shops need to set upper limits on play fees and prize values ​​in accordance with national requirements to ensure that players do not lose a lot of money in a short period of time, or make a lot of money in a short period of time, and strictly limit pinball machines to the category of entertainment toys.

But it is different with underground casinos, which often do not set an upper limit on bets, which means they are not completely legal and are in a legal gray area. Therefore, these casinos are often hidden in dark corners underground and rely on mutual introductions among acquaintances to avoid attracting the attention of law enforcement agencies to a certain extent.

Of course, even if they are really noticed by law enforcement agencies, these underground casinos are legal stores that strictly follow the "three-store model". As long as the other party has no evidence, even if these underground casinos set the upper limit of the game fees and prize values ​​beyond the legal limit, the police can't do anything about these underground casinos. So over time, law enforcement agencies have turned a blind eye to these underground casinos. "

"Oh, I see. I think I understand."

After listening to Mr. Motohara's words, Nan Tianren put down the white plastic chair and nodded.

"Ahem! Although I am not talented and was beaten like a grandson by you, I am more or less a frequent customer of an underground casino nearby. I am qualified to introduce some newcomers to this casino. I wonder if this qualification is worth 300,000 yen in your eyes?"

"I must admit that this information really impressed me. Okay! As long as you introduce me to this underground casino, the three hundred thousand yen will be written off!"

"No problem! I'll show you the way right away!"

Mr. Motohara wiped the blood off his face, picked up the one million yen medical bills, quickly got up from the ground, and took two steps at a time to an underground casino near Shinjuku with Nan Tianren.

Ten minutes later, after many twists and turns, Mr. Motohara finally led Nan Tianren into a hidden alley in the Shinjuku district.

"This is it."

Mr. Motohara walked forward and knocked on the iron door in front of him.

A small window on the iron door also opened, revealing a pair of eyes that carefully looked at the two visitors:

"you are?"

"It's me! Benyuan!"

"You are Benyuan? Stop kidding, his head is not as big as yours... Wait, are you really Benyuan?"

"Yes, it's true. I am the original."

"What's wrong with your head? Why is it so swollen? Did you get caught cheating?"

The casino guard teased Benyuan while opening the casino's iron gate.

"Don't mention it, let's not talk about this for now. I came here today for serious matters."

"What's the matter?"

"A few months ago, Q asked us old hands to help the casino find some new people with good qualifications. Here, I brought them to you."

Mr. Motohara said, pointing to Nan Tianren behind him.

Seeing Mr. Benyuan pointing at him, Nan Tianren also tactfully greeted the casino guards.

"Is that the red one? It doesn't look that good."

The casino guards were disgusted by Nan Tianren's appearance.

"He does look a bit ugly, but he's pretty good. I just played a game of mahjong with him, and I lost miserably."

"With your ability as a triangular cat, it's not easy to beat you at the mahjong table? Forget it, considering that we have a good relationship, I will let him in with reluctance."

"Okay, thank you brother."

"Ahem! That red-faced guy over there, yes, that's you. Come over here and register. Write your name on this piece of paper. From now on, you are a customer of our casino."

Hearing the other party's call, Nan Tianren immediately walked forward and signed his name on a piece of paper in the notebook.

"Your name is Nan Tianren, right? Okay, come in."

The casino guards stepped aside to make way for him and signaled Nan Tianren to move forward.

Mr. Benyuan, who was standing by, silently watched Nan Tianren's back as he entered the underground casino, and couldn't help but curse in his heart:

"Boy, I have to admit that you are very good and I can't beat you. However, once you enter Q Dalang's territory, you can't get out of here unscathed!"

On the other hand, after Nan Tianren walked into the underground casino, unlike the extremely shabby disguise outside to hide from others, the decoration inside the room could be described as extremely luxurious.

Slots, blackjack, roulette, baccarat, Texas Hold'em and more are all available, and most importantly:

“There’s a free fruit plate here?!!!”

Nan Tianren looked at the free fruit plate provided at the bar counter and said in disbelief:

"Although I have heard before that big casinos like those in Las Vegas and Macau provide free fruit plates to gamblers who come to the store to gamble, Shanghai Green Gang leader Du Yuesheng made his first pot of gold in his early years by providing fruit plates to casinos.

But this is Japan! Although ordinary fruits are not luxury goods, they are not something that ordinary people can eat as they please. The cheapest watermelon costs nearly 200 yen per pound.

And here is an underground casino that actually provides free fruit plates to customers. You know, I have been reincarnated into this world for fifteen years. It’s a classic orphan start. Fifteen years have passed, and I haven’t eaten fruit once.”

Forcing down the shock in his heart, Nan Tianren picked up a free fruit plate from the bar and sat down at the baccarat table.

Two hours later, a casino staff member immediately went to the casino owner:

"Boss, something bad has happened! Someone is here to mess things up!"

An old man with luxurious clothes but hunched body sat on a recliner, sipping tea and said to the staff member slowly:

"Don't panic, speak slowly."

"Boss, just now, a very famous weirdo made 20 million yen at the baccarat table!"

"How much... how much?"

Upon hearing that he had lost 20 million yen, the old man spat out all the tea he had just drunk and turned around in disbelief to ask again.

"Twenty... twenty million yen!"

The staff member said again in a decisive tone.

——It is absolutely impossible to make money by gambling by relying on luck. The only way to make money is to cheat.
