The pet I raised comes from the second dimension.

"If you don't take action in the first and second nine-day periods, you can walk on the ice in the third and fourth nine-day periods."

"Since it's cold outside, let's not go out! If we catch a cold, even though I can help everyone fight off the illness, the process of being sick will still be very uncomfortable!" Doro frowned and advised his friends to stay at home, saying that at worst they could play computer games or video games all day.

Dorothy is most afraid of the cold.

But it wanted to buy a set of mahjong tiles even more.

If you don't go out, you'll have to spend an extra ten yuan or so to place an online order for express delivery.

Dorothy took off her clothes, changed into her fluffy slippers, picked up her phone, and walked into the living room: "I'm going to buy mahjong tiles from the online store, and order a small mahjong table while I'm at it. Donas, what about the basketball hoop you wanted? Do you need me, Prime Minister Doro, to lend you some money?"

Back on the sofa
Dorothy moved as nimbly as a cat that had just stolen some dried fish.
He flashed a smug expression.
It is waiting for Donas to ask it.

As everyone knows, Donas never saves money; at most, she invests her spare cash in funds or stocks to increase its value. Every time she receives a share dividend from Huang Musong, Donas always feels itchy if she doesn't spend it all within three days.

Buying funds or stocks is certainly a way of saving money, but ultimately it cannot be withdrawn and used immediately.

Seeing that her friends had also given up the idea of ​​going out, Donas returned to the living room and playfully pounced on Dorothy.

"Good buddy~"

"Can you lend me money to buy a basketball?"

"I'll give you a massage~"

As she spoke, Donas pounced on Dorothy, kneading her chest, waist, and limbs with her claws.

The movement is similar to a cat kneading its paws.
The technique wasn't particularly skillful, but it was still quite comfortable.
Donas's coquettish manner, however, seemed more like she was being mischievous.

as predicted!

When Donas reached to knead Dorothy's buttocks, she suddenly increased the pressure, causing Dorothy to cry out in pain.

"Ow~"

What are you doing?

"Do you still want me to lend you money?!" Dorothy quickly dodged, flipping her phone screen to show Donas that she was currently on the payment screen.

Glancing at the payment page, Donas tried entering Dorothy's birthday, but it displayed an error.

The nerd didn't even use his birthday as his payment password!
Could it be that you set it to the simplest '123456' like me?
Seeing her phone screen stuck on the payment page, Donas grew anxious, hoping Dorothy would enter the correct password on her own.

Let's get closer again.
Donas nuzzled Dorothy's cheek.
It pleaded again, "So many Rosies~. Clever Prime Minister Doro~. Please order me a basketball~."

With her tail swaying from side to side, Donas whimpered, mimicking Doro's usual reaction when she was being affectionate with someone (Huang Musong).

Even though he understood that Donas was being coquettish to get him to buy her a basketball,
Dorothy simply couldn't resist this overly enthusiastic and affectionate manner.

"Okay, okay!"

"I'll pay right away."

"However, I have a small request: you must play ten rounds of mahjong with me, Doraemon, and Pina today."

"You're not allowed to play basketball until you've played ten rounds of mahjong. Mahjong requires four players to play."

After finishing her explanation, Dorothy waved her phone to Donas, indicating that the payment had been successful.

Buy a children's basketball hoop.

The basketball is also a children's model.

I didn't hesitate to spend over three hundred yuan on such a large purchase.

Meanwhile, after abandoning their plans to go out, Doro and Pina went to the kitchen to discuss what to have for lunch.

There is breakfast on the counter.

These are handmade Chinese-style hamburgers by Huang Musong.
The bread dough was replaced with two fried eggs.

There are meat patties, vegetables, potato chips...

A Chinese-style hamburger is nutritionally balanced, containing carbohydrates, protein, healthy fats, and vitamins.

A Chinese hamburger is an excellent choice for breakfast; however, it is not enough to fill you up for lunch.

and,

The hamburger had gone cold long ago.

Doro stared blankly at the four hamburgers, wondering how to perfectly replace breakfast with lunch.

Pina helped by opening the refrigerator door and taking out two large bags of wilted eggplants.

"These eggplants will spoil if we don't eat them soon."

"Why not just boil the eggplant, mash it up with the hamburger, and then steam it? At least it'll be a meal for lunch." Pina opened the bag, checked the eggplant's freshness, and confirmed that it hadn't spoiled yet.

Upon hearing this, Duoluo nodded thoughtfully, feeling embarrassed to refuse.

Pina has little talent in cooking; she only cares about being practical and getting enough to eat.

Crush the hamburger and mix in the eggplant.

The preparation was very rough; it was just edible.

As for whether it tastes good...

Doro felt that it would at least waste the process of making the hamburger by hand (Huang Musong)!
Considering that the hamburgers would need to be reheated after they had cooled down, Doro didn't reject Pina's suggestion and started cooking according to Pina's idea with a "hmm".

Not long after.
Lunch is ready.
The mahjong set Dorothy ordered and the basketball hoop Donas wanted were also delivered at the same time.

Basketball hoops need to be installed before they can be used, and basketballs need to be inflated before they can be used directly.

Therefore,
For now, the only thing we can do is play mahjong after lunch.

Donas strolled around the living room, searching for a suitable location to install a basketball hoop, one that was both tall and spacious enough.

"Where should we choose?"

"It can't be too close to the living room, the basketball could easily fly out and damage the TV, and a TV seems quite expensive."

"The area outside the kitchen is the best, but it's already taken up to put a dining table there..."

After circling the first floor of the villa several times, Donas finally decided to place the basketball hoop on the balcony, which was the only suitable location for laying the court.

As for the issue of balcony windows being easily broken by basketballs...

Donas thought it was easy to solve.

Just like the basketball court at Qingcheng Medical University, install protective fencing!

After marking out the court, Donas found some packing tape and lay down on the floor to mark out her territory...

Seeing that Donas was busy, Doro didn't disturb her and quietly left her a big bowl of sticky rice with eggplant and hamburger crumbs.

Crumble the hamburger, stir in the sticky eggplant, and pour in the Orunji sauce to make it even stickier.

The lunch suggested by Pina was utterly unappealing.

It's edible! Not bad! But not particularly delicious either!
Doro and Pina are not picky eaters.

They ate naturally.

Dorothy developed a picky eating habit and lost her appetite for the indescribable lunch, barely managing to eat a few bites before going to find potato chips to fill her stomach.

Seeing Dorothy waste her lunch, Doro sighed helplessly, and just as he was about to criticize her, he shut his mouth.

Forget it!

A ten-day "Remembering the Bitter Past and Appreciating the Sweet Present" event will be held starting January 1st.
Let's let Dorothy be for the next few days.

Convincing himself, Doro silently picked up Dorothy's bowl and gave more of her leftover lunch to Donas.

Worried that Donas wouldn't be able to finish it

Doro then gave himself and Pina some hamburger crumbs with eggplant.
Try not to waste any!
After finishing her land claiming, Donas washed her paws and came to the dining table. Without saying a word, she picked up the food bowl and started eating voraciously.

"Smells good~"

"That feels great!"

"It's a pity it's not salty enough. Do you have any canned fish? I want to add a few spoonfuls of soy sauce..." Muttering to herself, Donas ran into the kitchen to find canned food and prepare a hamburger and eggplant salad to suit her taste.

Dorothy is a picky eater, which Doraemon doesn't approve of; picky eating is a bad habit.

Donas eats a lot, and Doro is happy. Eating more and exercising more is good for your health!
After finishing the rice in your own bowl,

Doro didn't rush to leave the table. He patiently waited until Donas finished eating before clearing away the dishes and putting them in the dishwasher.

Dishwashers are convenient and save time, and they clean better than hand washing!

After cleaning up after the meal, Doro and Pina climbed the stairs to the study on the second floor.

The afternoon sun shone into the study, falling on the soft carpet, and even the air was filled with a lazy atmosphere.

When they saw Doraemon and Pina arrive,
Dorothy unfolded the assembly instructions for the mahjong table.
It began to guide its partners to work together.

"Dorothy, turn the table upside down so Donas can align the legs with the grooves. Pina, use the pliers to install the screws and nuts, be careful not to hurt your hands." Dorothy moved a chair over, stood on it, and commanded her companions from above.

Assembling the mahjong table was more difficult than expected; only the clever Dorothy could understand the blueprints.

Mahjong tables are different from ordinary dining tables.

The table's built-in shuffling function is extremely complex.
If even a small part is installed incorrectly or omitted, the device will not function properly.

Ultimately, Dorothy took command, and Dorothy, Donas, and Pina acted according to the instructions.

A miniature mahjong table for children has been successfully assembled!
Assemble the mahjong table by hand.

Doraemon felt a great sense of accomplishment.
It clapped excitedly in celebration, its little face beaming with pure joy.

"Wow~"

"Our Doro is really amazing!" Doro was jumping around the mahjong table happily when he suddenly stopped and blinked his big, confused eyes.

Words,

How do you play mahjong?

It shouldn't be too complicated...

If it's too difficult and I can't learn it, wouldn't that be disappointing?
Dorothy looked at Doraemon with some concern.

Dorothy understood that winning at mahjong was quite difficult, perhaps even beyond the learning capacity of Dorothy or Donas.

Fortunately,

Mahjong is extremely easy to learn.

Anyone can play as long as they don't care about winning or losing.

Dorothy plugged in the power, turned on the mahjong table, and opened the mahjong storage box to empty the tiles. "While the mahjong table is being shuffled, I'll copy down four winning strategies. We'll play according to those strategies. Actually, the principle of playing mahjong is super simple: it's about forming combinations that meet the rules, and then using the techniques of 'eating' and 'konging'."

Describe the rules of mahjong orally.

It does sound simple at first glance.
It's not that easy when you actually play it.

A moment later, the four little ones sat around the mahjong table, each occupying one side.

Dorothy is on the east side; Dorothy is on the south side; Pina is on the west side; and Donas is on the north side.

When the doro were first introduced to mahjong, they were clumsy, but fortunately, the shuffling and arranging of the tiles were done at the mahjong table.

The starting cards are assigned according to the rules.
Doro slowly laid out the cards, but they were always uneven, with some cards crooked and twisted.

I didn't pay much attention.

Doro believed that those crooked and twisted mahjong tiles had personality.
It really liked the colorful mahjong tiles in front of it.

"Little bird...nine insects..."

"Nine pancakes..."

"East, South, West, North, Center, and a few small insect tiles."

A variety of mahjong tiles came into view, and the more Duoluo looked at them, the more dizzy he became. He muttered to himself what kinds of tiles he had.

Donas, being very curious, tilted her head and openly looked at what cards Doro had, while picking up her own {middle} card.

"I have one too!"

"Do you want it? Let's trade. I want that magpie." After saying that, Donas handed Doraemon a red card and reached out to him for a magpie.

Doro really likes the pattern of a 1/4 rooster.

Well……

Since my partner likes it too, I'll give it to them. The red one looks pretty good too.

Festive!

Doro picked up {one} and handed it to Donas, completely unaware that his actions violated the rules.

Pina scratched her head in confusion and reminded her, "Isn't this wrong? Exchanging cards privately is against the rules of the game. You should exchange cards according to the rules of 'eat' or 'pong'."

"I think the key point isn't about changing cards, but rather, Dorothy, why are you so lucky? You almost won right from the start! Wow~." Dorothy tilted her head, quite surprised, analyzing Dorothy's hand.

According to the rules of Mahjong

Doro's hand was just a few tiles away from completing a winning hand of either 'Thirteen Orphans' or 'Pure Terminals'.

These two types of Hu methods are also known as "Peerless Scholar" or "Old Man Qing".

The probability of successfully forming it is extremely low!
On their very first round of mahjong, Dorothy was amazed that Dorothy could form the basic form of "Thirteen Orphans" with just the basic tiles.

Is it purely based on luck when drawing cards?

How are we supposed to play like this...?

When his partner discovered that he was naturally lucky, Doro scratched his head and laughed foolishly, then readily overturned the mahjong table and reshuffled the cards.

Hey~

With a silly grin, Doro raised the corners of his mouth, revealing his big white teeth, and said, "Let's shuffle the cards again. This time I'll relax a bit. If I don't draw the cards carefully, I probably won't have too much luck!"

"Actually, I also wish I had the same good luck as you," Dorothy muttered, looking down as she recalled the first time she met Dorothy six months ago.

At that time, Doraemon walked down the street, collecting bottles along the way.

Its fur is pure white and soft, so clean it shines, showing absolutely no signs of what a stray doro should have.

She transmigrated to the real world and was adopted.
Living conditions have improved dramatically.
What great luck!

Dorothy envied Dorothy's good fortune at that time.

Foolish guy is lucky!

Startled, Dorothy realized the mahjong table had been shuffled and they could start playing again.

This time, Doraemon lost focus and began to draw cards arbitrarily.

The cards you draw under normal circumstances are also normal.
It has all sorts of things.

After arranging the mahjong tiles, Donas drew a single tile first according to the game rules, but hesitated for a long time, unsure which one to discard.

"The patterns are all colorful and gaudy..."

"This is so mind-bending!"

Unable to figure out what to do, Donas beckoned to the iron dumbbell, letting it make the decision for her.

"Which card does Iron Lump think I should play?"

"Don't you dare trick me."

Raising her arm, Donas showed off her muscles, laughing as she hugged the iron dumbbell.

Iron Dumbbell is an AI brain that refuses to assist Donas in playing mahjong. Instead, it uses the team voice function of Dorothy's glasses to send Donas a case study on how to win with the current hand.

Unable to get Iron Dumbbell as an ally, Donas sighed deeply and tried to summon her limited intelligence.

He thought for a full ten seconds.
Donas accepted the new card {six of coins} and played the old card {eight of characters}.

The idea is that the larger or smaller the number of cards, the harder it is to form a combination.

It was Doro's turn to draw a tile. He took the {South} and discarded the {Eight of Coins}, explaining that the pure black {Eight of Coins} pattern wasn't bright enough.

Dorothy was clever and knew how to win, but unfortunately, she was unlucky.

Draw {one} and then play {one}.

Even if the design of the "One of Bamboo" tile is nice...
There's no point in keeping them if you can't form a pair or a quad.

When it was Pina's turn to draw a card, she frowned and hesitated, crossing her arms and pondering how to choose.

"Should I eat the One of Bamboo to form a pair? Or should I discard the One of Bamboo to form a three-of-a-kind?"

"It's a tough choice!"

"Playing mahjong yourself is definitely much harder than watching it from the sidelines..."

Pina sighed deeply and finally decided to discard the "One of Bamboo" tile, playing a single tile, the "Two of Bamboo". (End of Chapter)
