Daily life of a teacher in the martial arts department

"So, if I become as shameless as a Nephalem... that's what they say. But that's not something you can just imagine. I guess I should just run away, leave this heartbreaking city, live in seclusion in the mountains, and never see the world again."

Yu Xietian was thinking about all sorts of random things, and couldn't help but sigh.

Shenxin, on the other hand, didn't have so many worries. She even cast a stomach-strengthening and digestion-aiding spell on herself beforehand, eagerly waiting for the food to be served.

This magic is something no one in the world actually knows; the natural database doesn't record magic that has been modified by humans. However, this doesn't mean that humans have mastered all the magic in the natural database; there will always be omissions, such as the magic that Shenxin is currently using.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking so gloomy when I invite you to dinner?" Naifeitian tapped the table, looking at Yu Xietian with a half-smile. "Cheer up! The boss won a 14x Yakuman in Seven Luminaries Mahjong. You'll be paying off this debt for the rest of your lives, barring any unforeseen circumstances. As I just said, dining at such a high-end restaurant might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

This sudden change not only affected Yu Xietian, but even Shen Xin, who was initially excited, showed signs of becoming sluggish. The four great joys, four dark-carved single riders, one color of words, four bars, three years on the stone, no God of Wealth, were her eternal nightmares, more painful than being stabbed to five blood by Nocturne in the competition, and more painful than when the clown came out of the door.

It hurts, it hurts too much!

Boss, why!

Shen Xin was briefly emo until the first dish was served.

Yu Xietian, on the other hand, was still unable to escape his pain. But having decided to die a gluttonous death, he showed no mercy, and the two of them devoured the food in a whirlwind, attempting to deal a major blow to Nephalem's wallet... This tactic might have worked if the target was Jiu Yi.

"I just didn't expect you guys wouldn't get any requests even on the Mid-Autumn Festival. Don't you usually have work on weekdays and holidays? Although it's usually just being a wingman for confessions..."

Yu Xietian was in a state of self-isolation and didn't want to respond to Nephalem's words, but Shenxin, having eaten his food, felt obligated to answer and picked up the small blackboard.

"There's no holiday for Mid-Autumn Festival, and it lacks any festive atmosphere. Aside from goddesses who seize every opportunity to exploit their admirers, nobody really cares about this kind of holiday... By the way, Ying Qin Guan, do you have a holiday for Mid-Autumn Festival where you are?"

"Over there..." Ying Qin Guan was unaware of this matter, but thanks to the hazy memories in the Clown's Dreamland, he had some new, and perhaps incorrect, understanding. "It seems like they do have holidays. It seems like there was an emperor's birthday that was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival. So they had holidays from his birthday to the Mid-Autumn Festival. I remember it was three days. Before that, it was just a regular holiday, and there were no holidays."

"...A clever plan. This way, everyone will remember him."

The best way to make the people remember and praise you.

To accomplish great things (×, but mainly because it's impossible).

To associate oneself with a certain statutory holiday?

“I can introduce you to a job,” Nephalem said, “but only for you. Yu Xietian… This is a bit redundant. You probably wouldn’t want to take Shenxin with you, and she can’t go either.”

"...?" Upon hearing this, Yu Xietian finally raised his head, swallowed a large mouthful of lobster meat, and asked, "What is it?"

"The Empire has recently investigated some drug dens, but the exact locations have not yet been pinpointed. However, once they are pinpointed, an operation will definitely be conducted. Recently, the Empire has been short of martial artists, and because of this, they are even planning to select some outstanding students from the Imperial Academy to participate as a mid-term assignment or a graduation mission for the martial arts department. I came to see you today to discuss this matter with you."

—This kind of thing, of course, cannot be done with divine intervention.

Yu Xietian asked, "How much money do you have?"

"You're really direct... It's hard to say, it depends on the specific situation. If it's dangerous, it'll be more expensive, if nothing happens, it'll be a basic price. But Seven Stars is an economic powerhouse, and there's no reason for people to look down on things that can be solved with money."

“I accept.” Yu Xietian did not hesitate, and did not even ask what level of drug den it was. The territory of Qiyao was not the Chaotic Province. If it were the drug dealers in the Chaotic Province who drove tanks and armed helicopters, Yu Xietian would have to think twice about whether he was willing to give up his life.

The Nephalem said:

"Then, I'll let you know when the time comes."

Chapter Seventy: Lights Out, A Perfect Hand!

After finishing their meal, the two from Yorozuya originally planned to go back to their corpses. But a single sentence from Nephalem changed their minds.

"Ahe might be distributing her mooncakes around, and they might even end up here. If you don't want to get caught red-handed, you should take a day off."

Ah He's infamous reputation was known to everyone. The two from the Yorozuya shuddered in fear, abandoning their plan to return. Instead, they decided to follow Ying Qin Guan and Nephalem to see if they had any plans... which they hadn't originally intended to. But since the two had followed them, they had no choice but to.

These two ravenous ghosts from the Yorozuya have just reincarnated and have devoured a massive amount of food. Things like amusement parks, which involve physical activity, are definitely out of the question. Otherwise, halfway through a roller coaster, someone might give in and pull off a move like, "Have you ever heard of a lobster meat falling from the sky?"—a move that leaves everyone speechless. That would be truly...

The four decided to find a board game arcade nearby, and get through Ahe's transformation into one of the thirty-six tribulations of the progenitor.

Upon arriving at the board game arcade, Nephalem, intending to tease Shenxin, said, "There are exactly four of us. How about we play mahjong?"

Shenxin immediately bristled, feeling that he had been greatly provoked, and angrily picked up the small blackboard.

"You think you're the boss?! The Nephalem will make you suffer a crushing defeat!"

"It seems the boss hasn't done enough to help his wife quit gambling..."

Seeing Shenxin stride aggressively toward the mahjong table, Nefertari shrugged. His intention was simply to tease her; who wouldn't want to see the little girl frustrated and helpless? But Shenxin, strong-willed by nature, showed no intention of backing down and directly challenged Nefertari to a real duel.

"As expected of Shenxin, if he practices Iron Head Kung Fu, he will definitely be much stronger than others."

Ying Qin Guan exclaimed in admiration, which drew the attention of both Nephalem and Yu Xie Tian... and for some reason, they were both staring at his face (mouth).

"What kind of looks are those?"

Ying Qin Guan's voice contained a hint of threat, and the two quickly backed down.

"nothing."

"I think what you said is reasonable, as a grandmaster of martial arts, so I agree with it. Yes, that's it."

"Humph.."

The four players took their seats, and the Nephalem began setting the price of the chips. The Seven Luminaries Mahjong game was played very aggressively for many reasons. For example, the presence of the God of Wealth made it easier to build big hands. Even without declaring riichi, as long as the hand reached mankan or higher, the back dora tile could be revealed. Discarding the God of Wealth allowed for the direct reveal of a dora tile indicator. There were two red dora tiles each for the Wan, Tong, and Tiao suits, and even one red dora tile in each of the wind and dragon suits. There was even a "Red One Suit" hand, with thirteen red dora tiles plus one red dragon tile (the God of Wealth could also be included), a yakuman of eight times the normal value.

Therefore, the exchange rate of the chips becomes particularly important; even if it is set very low, it can easily make people feel like they've been scammed.

"One thousand points is considered one Ibuki, so each person gets one hundred thousand points."

Because it's relatively easy to win big hands in Seven Stars Mahjong, the standard point allocation is usually 100,000.

Considering the financial situation of the two people in Yorozuya, Nephalem suggested an exchange rate that was so low that "even the dogs at the dog table wouldn't want to fight you." One thousand points equals one Eevee, and one hundred thousand points equals half a pound. Even a beggar could afford to play.

"You bastard who leeches off the people, don't underestimate us!"

Shenxin raised the small blackboard menacingly.

"One thousand points equals one pound! Today, I'm going to beat you three weaklings to a pulp!"

"Don't include me in this..." Yu Xietian complained with a pout.

Ying Qin Guan and Nephalem had no objections. They exchanged a glance and then began.

In Seven Luminaries Mahjong, there is no dealer, only wind. Shenxin is the East Wind player. She pressed the button on the mahjong machine, and the four players each grabbed their tiles. Just as they were about to start the game, the lights in the board game hall suddenly went out.

"Eh?!"

"What's wrong?!"

"The magic has stopped?!"

The board game arcade was filled with sounds, clearly indicating that the power outage affected the entire arcade.

Outside, chaos reigned, but inside the private room where Shen Xin and the others were, all was quiet.

In the darkness, Shenxin's lips curled into a smirk.

Soon, the lights came back on, and the owner of the board game arcade explained that the magic circuit had suddenly malfunctioned for some reason, but it was working fine now.

At the card table, Shenxin held up a small blackboard.

"Nobody cheated, right? I'm just a weak little girl, you wouldn't bully me like this, would you? You wouldn't just push out cards like 'Nine-in-a-Row' as soon as you draw the tiles, would you?"

Yu Xietian hesitated, Nai Feitian crossed his arms, and Ying Qin Guan tapped his ear with his little finger, looking completely at ease.

"of course not."

"Who would do such a thing?"

"Hmph, since no one has any objections, let's begin..."

Shenxin starts by playing cards and pushes them out with lightning speed.

【"Tianhu! Chiyi..."】

She suddenly froze.

"Red Ise?"

The Nephalem pushed away the four cards on his right, four red gem cards.

"Red Ise?"

Ying Qin Guan also pushed away the four cards on his right, which were also four red treasure cards.

Yu Xietian sadly slammed down his card, saying, "How could you possibly think you could succeed..."

Shenxin slowly lowered her head, looking at the eight cards that had been swapped out of her hand. Her face was ashen, and she could no longer speak.

Nephalem counted on his fingers, smiling as he began to calculate.

"The rules of Seven Luminaries Mahjong are that if you falsely claim a win, you are paid according to the hand you won with. A Heavenly Hand of Red One Suit is nine times the Yakuman. There is no Banker in Seven Luminaries Mahjong, so that's 288,000 points. You definitely don't have to pay for Jade Heavenly Hand. So it's just me and Ying Qin Guan. I'll round it down for you to 550,000 points, which is 550 pounds. Shenxin, you'd better work hard in the future."

Shenxin couldn't hold on any longer; everything went black, and he collapsed.

-

"Cheating is a common technique used at the gambling table. You could say that gambling without cheating is incomplete. Although it sounds terrible, it doesn't really matter. Gambling is inherently a terrible activity, and cheating only makes it worse; it's essentially a case of 'cheating on others.' Therefore, there's no need to feel guilty about cheating..."

As expected, the Nephalem had a set of values ​​that were different from ordinary people. As someone who often cheated for victory and even charged forward at the risk of consciousness slash, his words were particularly credible. He spoke eloquently, educating the Godheart who had failed to cheat and was even killed in the process.

"Your mistake wasn't cheating, it was failing to cheat. Do you understand? If you had won, everything would have been different!"

"I...I understand!"

"This child is teachable..."

Nephalem crossed his arms and nodded in satisfaction.

Ying Qin Guan, standing to the side, couldn't help but complain, "What kind of nonsense are you teaching?"

The Nephalem's expression turned solemn, and he said proudly, "Nothing is more important than victory, and we will spare no effort no matter what means we use."

"Including having your hand cut off?"

"Sometimes, it even involves life."

Ying Qin Guan laughed it off and didn't take it to heart.

After Shenxin's actions, the mahjong game was definitely off, and the four of them eventually returned to the embrace of Time and Space Kill. Seeing that there were four of them, the owner added one more person after asking. This kind of group play is very common in board game arcades.

Whether by luck or not, this time I joined the group buy and met someone I knew... Zhao Yunxian.

Chapter 71 Are you ready to save the world?

Ying Qin Guan and Zhao Yun Xian had met a few times. They couldn't really be called good friends, but they could still chat for a bit when they met.

"You look very relaxed."
