The pet I raised comes from the second dimension.

Not counting Doro's lucky hand, this round of mahjong should be considered Doro's first self-taught game, and the four little guys are quite clumsy at it. They sit around the small mahjong table in the center of the study, their furry heads close together, their expressions focused yet somewhat bewildered.

Doro hesitates every time he draws a card.
"Ok?"

"The second loave? Should we keep it or not?"

Faced with the new cards, Doraemon murmured softly, unable to make a decision for a long time.

Big eyes blinked and blinked.

Dorothy glanced at Donas, then at Dorothy.
Ultimately, it decided to play the five of loaves.

Dorothy is located below Dorothy.
With a quick mind, Dorothy is considered the brains of the Doro tribe, and she already knows which cards she needs to win.

"The 'Five of Circles' is not under consideration. Although I could 'pong' it, it would disrupt my current hand combination."

"Well……"

"I drew {West Wind}, played it, now it's Pina's turn to draw a card~".

As she spoke, Dorothy tilted her head to the side, secretly peeking at Pina's hand, trying to guess which cards she was going to win with.

Since the start of this round of mahjong, Pina has only played the {Wan} tile, which seems to indicate she's aiming for either the {Bing} or {Tiao} tiles.

Dorothy couldn't help but be curious,
Will the mahjong tiles I want happen to be in Pina's hands?

Pina, realizing Dorothy was peeking at the deck of cards, quickly bent her arm to cover herself.
"Don't peek."

“It’s against the rules to peek at your mahjong partner’s cards!” Pina chuckled, deliberately acting mysterious, and shifted the deck of cards so that Dorothy could glimpse the cards but couldn’t see them clearly.

Compared to winning,
Pina was more interested in teasing Dorothy.

Observing Dorothy from my own perspective, the way she peeks at the cards with her sidelong glance is so interesting, even more interesting than playing mahjong itself.

Donas has a rather casual attitude towards playing mahjong.
Although she understands the rules, Donas is unwilling to follow them; she has her own set of whimsical ideas.

"Ten thousand in hand, eighty thousand in hand, still sixty thousand short..."

Why are mahjong tiles with the character '万' (wan) so hard to find?

Upon drawing a card, Donas didn't even keep it; she immediately put it into the discard pile.

Unless it's a one-of-a-kind tile,

Donas was willing to stay for a little while.
But eventually, it will be launched.

As for the winning hand combination it wants, no local Mahjong game has this rule. Which winning hand game uses Mahjong tiles to form an ID number?
The pet's ID card has exactly 14 digits, which is the same as the number of tiles used to win a mahjong hand.

This led Donas to the idea of ​​collecting ID numbers to win at mahjong.

With her tail wagging from side to side and humming a little tune, Donas typed "Seven Lines" and then picked up her phone to scroll through short videos...

And so, after twenty minutes, the first round of mahjong finally ended.

Without a doubt,

The winner is Dorothy.
A clever mind is all it takes to win!

Dorothy jumped up excitedly after winning her first mahjong game, her arms flapping up and down like a sparrow in flight.

Dorothy is a chibi-style character with short limbs and wildly flapping arms, making her look just like a penguin.

The more they jumped, the more excited they became.
Dorothy suddenly remembered something, and dashed out of the study, slid down the slide, and headed straight for the living room.

"Oh Runji! Oh Runji!"

Dorothy picked up the fruit platter from the coffee table, carried it upstairs, and returned to her seat in the study.

Dorothy picked a large orange, peeled it, and divided it into three large segments, which she then fed to her friends. "This segment is for Dorothy; this segment is for Pina; Donas will eat this segment; and the remaining half of the orange is mine~."

Eyes squinted
Dorothy straightened her glasses.
It patiently waited for its three companions to finish eating the small segments of orange before swallowing most of the orange itself in one gulp.

Oh Runji, grown in our own orchard, it's juicy and delicious.

Dorothy chewed the fruit with gusto, making "gurgling" sounds, her pupils gleaming.

After eating a small piece of Orunji, Donas thanked Dorothy in her heart, but asked aloud, "Why did you give yourself such a big piece of Orunji? Dorothy, you're being naughty. We Doro should know how to share fairly."

Raise one eyebrow.

Donas teased the other person with a meaningful tone.

Upon hearing this, Dorothy calmly straightened her chest, quite proudly declaring, "Of course it's because I won the last round of mahjong! Playing mahjong is like playing a game; how can there be no reward? Hehe!"

After explaining with a smile,
Dorothy peeled another large orange.

This time, it didn't directly break off orange segments to share.

"Let's play another round of mahjong, same rules as before, whoever wins gets to decide the prize, Runji! Hmm... the winner is the dealer, let me roll the dice." With that, Dorothy rolled two dice to determine where to draw a tile from the pile.

The second round of mahjong ended faster than the first.
Pina is the winner.
But in reality, it wasn't the card itself that realized it had won.

During the card-drawing process, when Pina drew a {Six of Bamboo}, Iron Dumbbell, who was watching the cards next to her, let out a howl.

Using Dorothy's glasses in the team's voice chat, Iron Dumbbell sends a message to the Dorothys, announcing that Pina won.

Upon learning that she had won, Pina looked completely bewildered, scratching her head and muttering, "Did I really win by drawing the winning tile myself? Why can't I see how my hand works?"

The more I think about it, the stranger it seems.
Pina wondered if Iron Dumbbell had misjudged the situation.

The doro have spent a long time with Iron Dumbbell and have 100% trust in the AI ​​brain Iron Dumbbell, not believing that Iron Dumbbell would make a wrong judgment.

Since Pina didn't understand how to win,
The reason must be its lack of experience.
Dorothy, Dorothy, and Donas all simultaneously approached to look at the cards.

"Three 'One of Bamboo', one of each of the 'Two of Bamboo' to 'Eight of Bamboo', and three 'Nine of Bamboo'."

"It's definitely a win!"

"Is this roughly how permutations and combinations work?"

Trying hard to think, Doro attempted to arrange Pina's hand of cards. Although his movements were slow, he successfully analyzed the way to win.

Donas doesn't like studying and doesn't have the good habit of daily literacy. Nowadays, her brain works a little slower than Doraemon's.

A few seconds after understanding the winning hand, Donas suddenly shouted, excitedly congratulating Pina on her victory.

"You're amazing!"

"Pina, I knew you were amazing, you'll always be my best friend..." Donas showered Pina with compliments, her words sincere as she hugged her and rubbed their cheeks together.

At first, it didn't seem unusual.
As time went on, Pina sensed something was amiss and realized that Donas had ulterior motives.

Continuing to enjoy the enthusiasm and carefully observing the other person's reaction, Pina winked with amusement: "Are you trying to please me so I can win the next round faster and finish the next eight rounds of mahjong..."

"After you finish eight rounds of mahjong, which is ten rounds in total, you can go play basketball."

Did I guess wrong?

Pina smirked, crossed her arms, and grinned at Donas.

Donas was stunned.

When Pina exposed her secret, Donas blushed and her smile appeared embarrassed.

"Hehe~"

"Is there anything wrong with what I'm thinking?"

“Playing a round of mahjong takes at least ten minutes, so ten rounds is a very long time. Sitting in one place for too long is bad for your health; you should always exercise!” After saying this, Donas tilted her head and whistled, glancing at Doro out of the corner of her eye.

It was observing Doraemon's expression.
It hoped that Doraemon would agree with its idea.

Upon hearing this, Doraemon gave a soft "hmm" and wiggled his sore bottom.

Indeed, maintaining a sitting posture for a long time can also cause discomfort in the lower back and back.

Even mahjong is considered entertainment.

We should still focus on a balance between activity and stillness!
Turning to Dorothy, Dorothy tugged at her side fur a few times, carefully controlling her strength to avoid hurting her. "Let's play another round of mahjong, and then go play basketball, okay? We have plenty of time this afternoon. Playing basketball is exercise, and it's good for your health."

“Okay!” Dorothy didn’t object and readily agreed, but her eyes remained fixed on the mahjong tiles.

Pina's Mahjong...

Wow, that's amazing!
No wonder Iron Dumbbell took the initiative to declare Pina the winner.

Based on Pina's mahjong hand, no matter which tile she draws next, she can win!

Different sets of tiles may differ in the way they are combined to win, but both can lead to victory.

Like a master key!
Having thoroughly figured out the techniques for winning at mahjong, Dorothy wiped the sweat from her brow and let out a long, satisfying sigh.

Each moment of reflection brings a slight increase in wisdom.
Even if the effect is not obvious
Dorothy really enjoys the process of gradually gaining experience and becoming smarter.

At this moment, having gained some wisdom, Dorothy happily followed her friends out of the study.

It's only 2 PM now, and there are at least three hours until it gets dark.

"Spending two hours learning to play basketball isn't bad!" Dorothy thought to herself.

Walk a few steps faster,

It slid down the slide after Donas and before Pinadoro.

In the afternoon, the sun shone brightly and the temperature rose considerably.

The villa was well-heated, and the sunlight streaming into the living room was warm and pleasant. The Doro members, who had been resting on the sofa for a while, gradually felt a little warm.

The heat makes me sleepy, but I just can't fall asleep.

"If we had known it would turn out like this, we shouldn't have stayed in bed. We should go to bed early and get up early from now on." Pina yawned as she nestled in the corner of the sofa and gestured for Iron Dumbbell to go to the refrigerator and get four cans of Coke.

Cola contains caffeine, which can be refreshing after drinking.

Pina's idea was to use the effects of caffeine to combat the lethargy that made her sleepy but unable to fall asleep.

Hearing that Pina wanted a Coke, Doro yawned and sat up straight to wait for Iron Dumbbell to return from the kitchen.

It is currently a rest period.
We'll think about playing basketball again after we've rested enough.
Drinking an ice-cold can of cola can wake you up.

Thinking of cola, Doraemon subconsciously recalled the day he first met the human (Huang Musong), when the first dinner the human treated him to was chicken leg rice with iced cola...

Words,

The cola was pitch black.
Why does it taste so good?

Doro opened his eyes wide, staring blankly, his mind wandering aimlessly.

"It must be the bubble sprites that make the cola taste better!"

"The water was jet black, almost like taro milk tea. The black color looked dirty, just like 'taro paste' isn't actually 'sludge'."

"Oh, can Runji turn into cola too?"

When he has nothing to do, Doro always lets his imagination run wild, pondering whatever comes to mind.

Simply put,
Doraemon did not share his thoughts with his companions.
It plans to collaborate with Lemi when Sister Shuchu brings Lemi home again.

Collaboration! Let's make Coca-Cola! We want the Omega flavor!
The more Doraemon thought about it, the more it drifted off course. When it came to its senses, it was surprised to find a can of Coca-Cola in its arms. It had no idea when Iron Dumbbell had given it the can.

The iced cola was a bit cold.
Doro first takes small sips of the straw.

The bubbly cola instantly bursts with rich sweetness in your mouth!

"Wow?"

"I've never tasted such delicious cola before," Doraemon exclaimed in astonishment, holding the can up high to examine it closely. "Is it because playing mahjong has made my head so tired? This cola tastes better than any I've ever had before."

Dorothy glanced at Dorothy sitting on the sofa to the side while making her comments.

Dorothy also sipped her straw in small sips.

Hearing Dorothy express her doubts, Dorothy nodded and explained, "'More delicious' is a given! This is a Hong Kong-style cola that I specially ordered from an online store. The sweetener is white sugar, and it costs five times as much as regular cola, so it's definitely more delicious."

"Five times? That's expensive! We don't want to waste money." Dorothy frowned, her tone somewhat critical, convinced that Dorothy had to "remember the bitter past and appreciate the sweet present."

only,
This time, however, Pina sided with Dorothy.
It supports Dorothy Flower's purchase of Hong Kong-made Coca-Cola at high prices.

"Dora".

"I think Dorothy did the right thing by spending five times the price on a Coke, even though it's a bit pricey."

"The ingredients in cheap cola are high-fructose corn syrup, while the ingredients in slightly more expensive cola are white sugar. When I was in Bincheng, I passed by a human clinic and heard a doctor say that white sugar is easier to absorb than high-fructose corn syrup."

"Actually, I don't understand the specific principles either, but in short, 'high-fructose corn syrup' is far less healthy than 'white sugar,' and it's okay to spend more money to buy healthier products."

After finishing speaking,
Hold the can in your left hand and take out a straw in your right.

Pina first licked the droplet of beverage hanging from the end of the straw.

Then it began to drink cans of cola one after another.

"call out"

That was awesome!
Iced cola should be drunk in big gulps. The coolness that hits your brain is so refreshing, it's like being on a rocket and you're instantly awake!
My head is throbbing with cold.

Pina quickly shook her head, took a deep breath with great satisfaction, and then took another big gulp of cola.

Listening to Pina's explanation and watching her happily drink her beverage, Doro scratched his head, seemingly understanding but not quite. "Is that so? If cheaper cola is healthier, could we make our own healthy cola and sell it to customers to make a little extra money?"

"Hey? Great idea! I think it has potential." Dorothy quickly sat up straight, her big eyes sparkling with wisdom, and gave Dorothy a thumbs up in praise of her brilliant idea.

To know,
A can of cola costs an average of 2.5 yuan.
The cheapest 2L bottle of Coke costs at least seven yuan (within the capital city area).

Imagine if you made your own cola using white sugar; with a cost of 5 yuan, you could make at least 10 liters of cola.

Furthermore, by eliminating caffeine, which is slightly harmful to the body, it is delicious, healthy, and affordable. Who wouldn't want to buy it?
We'll get right to it!

Dorothy is interested in anything that can make money.

It couldn't wait to drag Doro and Pina into the kitchen to research the Doro version of the Coca-Cola recipe.

Meanwhile, behind the sofa, Donas was busily and enthusiastically inflating a small basketball.

Listen attentively to my friends' conversation.

Donas did not get involved.

It just wants to quickly inflate the basketball so it can play freely.

Unexpectedly, Dorothy suggested researching a cola formula, and Donas quickly stopped what she was doing and pounced on Dorothy to stop her from leaving the sofa.

"Hey!"

"We agreed to play basketball together, right?"

"Do you want to gain weight from eating this...?"

Donas pinned Dorothy's limbs down with her own, twisting her head to prevent the can of cola from tipping over and staining the sofa. (The idiom "eating words makes you fat" refers to the story of "breaking one's promise," which Donas couldn't remember but only the meaning of.)
Having her little scheme exposed, Dorothy turned a blind eye and stuck out her tongue with a smile.

That's right!

It really wanted to kill two birds with one stone by avoiding playing basketball and not wanting to exercise.

So you were seen through?

Like Huang Musong, Dorothy would remain silent when faced with difficult questions, waiting for Doraemon or Pina to act as peacemakers.

Doraemon also wanted to research cola recipes to make some extra money.

But integrity is more important.

Now it's time to play basketball with Donas!
After finishing the last sip of cola in the can, Doro jumped off the sofa and dragged Donas to the basketball court. "Let's go~, let's play basketball first, and then we can discuss making cola after Sister Shuchu brings Laimi home."

"Okay! I'll go get the pet ball and let Sanedo out to help. It has superpowers; it can use its telekinesis to spread the ball out as a barrier so the basketball won't break the glass." Donas released Dorothy and ran excitedly towards the stairwell to get the pet ball from Huang Musong's bedside table. (End of Chapter)
