<h4>Chapter 1260: Beginner!</h4>


    Early morning.


    Before 5 am.


    tinum VIP room. The mahjong game started.


    Mr. Wei rolled the dice, counted, and grabbed his tiles.


    The next yer is Ms. Leng, followed by Song Yuhu, and Dong Xuebing isst.


    Dong Xuebing arranged his tiles clumsily. He ced all his character tiles on his left, bamboo in the center, and circles on the right. The Winds and Dragon tiles were ced at the end. He is going to discard the Winds and Dragon tiles. He took a while to arrange his tiles as he had not yed Mahjong long. He yed a few rounds during Lunar New Year with his family members, and they did not y with money.


    Everyone looked at Dong Xuebing weirdly.


    Shen Xiaoyan and Shen Xiaomei were dumbfounded.


    Dong Xuebing looked up and noticed everyone was looking at him. He thought to himself. I am not the banker, and it’s not my turn to discard a tile. Why are you all looking at me? Look at your tiles. He looked at the table and noticed that other yers did not arrange their tiles. He remembered Sis Zhang did not arrange her tiles when she yed earlier. He was confused then and felt ufortable seeing the tiles in a mess. He thought about it and understood why they did not arrange their tiles now. No one can see his tiles besides himself, Sis Zhang, and the twins. But arranging them in ascending or descending order will let other yers know which tiles he needs. He will lose if other yers can guess his tiles.


    Huh?


    Mahjong has so many tactics.


    Dong Xuebing yed Mahjong with his family for fun and did not mind these tactics.


    No wonder they are looking at me.


    They must be thinking that I am a beginner.


    Dong Xuebing cleared his throat and started to mess up his tiles. He ced the 5 Circles among the bamboo and 6 Characters among the circles. This will make it harder for other yers to guess his tiles, but he messed them up. He cursed in his heart and rearranged the tiles in ascending order again. He is not used to it. He does not care anymore. He will y in his way.


    Dong Xuebing looked at Mr. Wei impatiently. “Discard a tile. What are you waiting for?”


    Mr. Wei was speechless. “I discarded it a while ago. Ms. Leng and Mr. Song had discarded their tiles too.”


    Damn! Everyone waits for you, and you only focus on arranging your tiles. You still dare to rush me?


    Ms. Leng and Song Yuhu were speechless.


    Zhang Longjuanughed loudly.


    Dong Xuebing cleared his throat embarrassedly. “Howe I did not hear it? Err… East Wind.”


    Mr. Wei grabbed a tile and felt it with his finger. He discarded it without looking. “Red Dragon.”


    It was a ‘Red Dragon’ tile. These people can tell the tiles just by feeling them.


    Ms. Leng grabbed a tile and ced it at the end before discarding another tile.


    Song Yuhu was fast too. Within a few seconds, they had discarded their tiles, and it was Dong Xuebing’s turn again.


    Dong Xuebing grabbed a tile and tried feeling it with his fingers. Huh? What is this tile?


    He turned it. It was ‘9 Bamboo.’


    Dong Xuebing knows that learning to feel the tiles will take a while. He did not embarrass himself and started looking at his other tiles. He has ‘8 Bamboo’ and needs a ‘seven Bamboo’ to form a set of three. But he will be waiting for a single tile. The chances of getting it are low. The ‘5 and 6 Characters’ has higher chances of forming a set. But he still has ‘1 and 3 Bamboos.’ Which tile should he discard?


    His hand is quite good.


    Dong Xuebing hesitated and could not decide.


    About half a minuteter, he discarded a tile. “1 Circle.”


    Mr. Wei and the rest were frustrated. You are too slow.


    Senior Zhou looked at Dong Xuebing.


    The other guests and staff were thinking to themselves. Does this guy know how to y Mahjong?


    Dong Xuebing had won big at the roulette tables. Although no one thinks he can win against three opponents, they felt he should be good at Mahjong. Why would he agree to y in the tinum Room if he is not good? However, his actions show he is a beginner. He looks like he just learned how to y.


    This is the tinum VIP room.


    The bets here are much higher than in the main lobby outside.


    You don’t even know how to y Mahjong and are ying with others here?


    Who is as bold as you? You are reckless!


    Mahjong is entirely different from roulette. You need to know how to y even if you got all the luck in the world. You might not win even if you got good tiles.


    Some guests felt this might be Dong Xuebing’s way of ying. After all, everyone has their style of ying. Maybe he knows how to y. But these guests changed their minds a few minutester.


    Dong Xuebing discarded ‘5 Bamboo’, which was not discarded before.


    This is mid-game, and some yers might be waiting for their winning tiles. Most yers will not discard any new tiles. But Dong Xuebing did not know and discarded it. He is not wary of other yers. The guests felt nervous looking at him y. Luckily, the other yers do not need this tile. Maybe Song Yuhu, Ms. Leng, and Mr. Wei were seasoned yers. They will not wait for such an apparent winning tile and did not expect him to discard it.


    Seasoned yers got confused when they yed with a beginner. They exchanged looks speechlessly.


    *Ta!


    “Bird.” Beijing calls ‘1 Bamboo’ a bird.


    Dong Xuebing discarded another unseen tile.


    Mr. Wei thought to himself. You are reckless. How can you discard these unseen tiles now?


    Mr. Wei had been holding on to ‘1 Bamboo’ for a while and dared not to discard it. He saw Dong Xuebing discarding it, and he discarded it during his turn.


    Dong Xuebing did not know he had discarded the wrong tiles. The people he yed with previously were around his standards. They do not count or defend against other yers. He could not even manage his tiles and did not care about other yers.


    Finally, something happened when Dong Xuebing discarded ‘2 Characters.’


    Song Yuhu pushed a few tiles over. “Kong.”


    Dong Xuebing was surprised. “Ah, you got three ‘2 characters.’”


    Song Yuhu grabbed a tile and discarded it. He was disappointed he did not get his winning tile, or he would win big.


    Dong Xuebing was not waiting for any tiles to win. He grabbed a tile and discarded it.


    “Win!” Ms. Leng smiled and turned her tiles over. “Seven Doubles.”


    Dong Xuebing had thrown the tile for another yer to win, but he thought nothing about it. “You got good tiles, Ms. Leng.”


    I got good tiles? Ms. Leng rubbed her temples and ignored him. They had tried to let Mr. Wei win as he was the banker. They threw the tiles he needed, but he could not win. She was afraid Dong Xuebing might win and ended this round with a small win. Her tiles were not good, and Dong Xuebing was bad with Mahjong.


    “Are we settling the payout after each round?”


    “Ok. We will follow the way we yed earlier.”


    The dealer walked to the table and counted the tiles.


    Dong Xuebing had discarded Ms. Leng’s winning tile, so he lost more. They are ying in the tinum VIP room, with higher bets. He lost 480,000 USD worth of chips in this round.


    Dong Xuebing did not mind. “Let’s continue.”


    It was Ms. Leng’s turn to be the banker, and she was lucky. She won very early in the game.


    Although it was not a big win, it was a ‘self-drawn’ win, and she was the banker.


    Dong Xuebing lost almost 200,000 USD in this game. Within a short time, he lost more than half a million USD. The bets were much higher than when Sis Zhang yed in the VIP room.


    The next round started.


    Ms. Leng was still the banker.


    Dong Xuebing continued to y recklessly and discarded tiles without thinking.


    The other yers got used to Dong Xuebing’s way of y and guessed what tiles he needed from the tiles’ position in his hands.


    “Pong!”


    “Chow!”


    “Chow!”


    Dong Xuebing gave the other yers the tiles they needed.


    Other than him, the other yers were waiting for the final time to win.


    Dong Xuebing discarded ‘3 circles’ and Song Yuhu ‘Kong.’ He grabbed his winning tile after that.


    Dong Xuebing lost a few hundred thousand USD again.


    Dong Xuebing was unfazed.


    The onlookers shook their heads. They could tell Dong Xuebing does not know how to y and is ignorant about the strategies used in the game.


    How can you discard those unseen tiles halfway through the game?


    You were feeding them with the tiles they needed.


    You are clueless about Mahjong. No one who knows how to y will not discard those tiles.


    Everyone was confused about what Dong Xuebing was doing. Even if you don’t know how to y, you should know the basic.


    Song Yuhu, Mr. Wei, and Ms. Leng were in good spirits.


    A beginner is giving them money!
