Chapter 38: Mahjongpetiton


    Earning 50,000 in 5 days was something unimaginable to the previous Chen Zhou.


    But now, through his own efforts, he not only earned that amount, but he even found a job with a monthly pay above 10,000 just by working 3 hours a day.


    He had already started to n for a bachelors degree, then hed work at a bigpany and climb thedder to eventually be his own boss.


    He had gotten the supergenius operating system, not a cultivating operating system, and knowledge was used to earn money. He wasnt interested in things like research at all.


    That would mean that he would be poor, and his pay would probably be lower than the one that he was drawing now.


    This idea had gone through his mind and he continued to develop it.


    He had already suffered for three years, and he wasnt nning on living his entire life like that.


    Until now, Chen Zhou had already gotten 6 money-making skills, and today, he was doing his daily reading assignment.


    Proficient in gambling?


    Looking at this new skill, many foreign ideas popped up in his mind. Unable to control himself, he became hesitant.


    Every daily assignment had a random skill reward, and proficiency in gambling was basically a cheat.


    In the operating system, knowledge was divided into multiple levels. Beginner, proficient, proficient, master, grandmaster, legendary.


    Cheating would definitely leave some traces, and just by being proficient in gambling, Chen Zhou didnt dare to guarantee that he wouldnt be caught.


    And if he was caught cheating


    Movie scenes started to sh past in his mind, there were scenes of fingers being cut off, hands being cut off, needles being impaled under fingernails


    A chill travelled up his spine, as Chen Zhen shivered in fear.


    No, no, cheating is basically self-destructing. Ill have so many opportunities in the future, I cant risk it all here.


    Shaking his head, he ordered a cab to drive him home.


    As an otaku, Chen Zhou would stay at home and y games when he was bored. To him, his meaning in life was to enjoy himself.


    He didnt have the opportunity in the past, but once he had a stable job, he immediately found himself a ce to rent. It was at the alley where he stayed for three years, a familiar ce he could see every time he opened his window.


    It was as if he could see hisst three years of misery just like that.


    It served as a reminder for Chen Zhou, that he had survived his worst days and that his future would be better!


    Dont miss out! Tian Hai Citys biggest mahjongpetition is happening tomorrow! The first ce gets a one million dor reward! Sign up here now!


    Dont miss


    Seated in the cab, Chen Zhou waited for half an hour due to a mysterious traffic jam.


    In Chen Zhous memories, this road had never been congested even once in the past few years, was he really that unlucky


    Suddenly, the shouting from the roadside entered his ears, and Chen Zhou couldnt help but turn to look.


    Tian Hai Citys biggest mahjongpetition is happening tomorrowThe first ce gets a one million dor reward?!


    Fuck me! Sir, stop the car!


    If it was an officially hosted mahjongpetition, even if he was caught cheating, he would at most be disqualified!


    But if he won


    One million!!


    Chen Zhou was excited, he was pretty hopeful about the skill that the operating system had rewarded him with, until now, he hadnt been let down once.


    If he wasnt a coward, he couldve already gone to some shady corner to earn money.


    To him, this mahjongpetition was basically giving away free money!


    If I had this million, I dont even need to study! I can directly start a business and save a few years of time!


    Chen Zhou quickly got off the car and entered himself into thepetition, after paying the $100 fee, the employee handed him a participation ticket.


    He would be able to enter thepetition tomorrow.


    Chen Zhou returned to his car, and when he got home, he quickly borrowed a mahjong box from hisndlord.


    In his 20-plus years of life, he hadnt even watched mahjong before, he was still a little anxious even with the knowledge from the operating system.


    Even the god of gambling would get rusty if he didnt y for 20 years, and he thought that he should at least practice.


    He quickly set up the mahjong tiles and stared at the table, it was familiar, yet foreign at the same time.


    He naturally picked up a tile, his smooth movements resembling someone who had yed for decades, without even ncing once at the tile.


    Six thousand. (Tile)


    He pped the tile onto the table, and with a look, he knew he was right.


    Feeling the carving of the tiles was the basic skill of mahjong, even old uncles and aunties didnt look at the tiles once when they yed, they would leave the tiles facing downward on the table to prevent the people behind them from peeking.


    Then, he continued to touch the tiles.


    Three dots.


    Six sticks.


    Three sticks.


    After the sun had set, he finally prepared to go and eat downstairs. The moment he opened the door, he was met with a sweat-drenched, fair-skinned and tidy-looking teenager.


    After a pause, Chen Zhou greeted him with a smile.


    Did you juste back from training?


    The teen nced at him with a straight face, a strange light shing past his eyes. With a nod, he returned back into his room. (The gender of the teen isnt specified here.)


    Going downstairs, Chen Zhou randomly ate a bowl of mian.


    And after he ate, he decided to head back to his home, but as he walked, he suddenly noticed a mahjong room.


    Inadvertently, he walked in and noticed a group of senior citizens ying mahjong together.


    The room was filled with smoke, yet every single person in this room wasser-focused on the games, it was as if they were on a battlefield, rather than ying mahjong.


    I win!


    An auntieughed loudly, throwing her hands into the air at three other people.


    Hand over your money! Everyone, 2 dors!


    Chen Zhou suddenly remembered that the elderly yed mahjong to relieve their loneliness, and they only yed for cents, it was hard to even get a hundred in winnings from a days worth of ying


    With some excitement, he found a seat in the mahjong room.


    Most people had finished their dinners at this time, and he was quickly joined at the table by two aunties and an uncle.


    Its rare to see a young man here! Lets y mahjong. The old man grinned as he looked at Chen Zhou.


    After a short pause, Chen Zhou smiled back, Thats right, thats right!


    The uncleughed a bit more as he thought contemptuously, a young man ying mahjong? Do young people these days even know how to y mahjong?


    After such a brief exchange, the old man had already thought of Chen Zhou as a three-minute passion student here to pay his school fees.


    Only middle-aged to older people who had nothing better to do came to y at mahjong rooms, and most of the younger generation knew barely anything about mahjong, how could they beat the people who practically lived in these mahjong rooms?


    The old man was confident in beating Chen Zhou, and his only concerns were on the two aunties.


    As long as he kept watch of their tiles, he wouldnt lose


    Oh? I won.


    Chen Zhou had just arranged his tiles, and after taking a careful look, he shouted in joy.


    What?


    Do you even know how to y mahjong? Did you see wrongly?!


    The three of them were stunned, and seeing that they were in disbelief, Chen Zhou flipped his tiles for them to see.


    I


    He actually won?
