I'm a dragon sparrow in Tokyo

Chapter 9 Registration
"How about it? Then two of you want to participate? If you want to participate, sign up as soon as possible. I don't know why today, but many strangers also came to participate in the competition, so there are only 128 places for a limited time."

After they finished speaking, the grandson of the old store manager, that is, the cashier boy, came out with a stack of notes and said.

"128 people, so many!" Dong Ze said in surprise.

"Yeah, we don't know the reason, but the more people there are, it means that mahjong is becoming more and more popular, which is a good thing." The old store manager laughed.

"A good thing is a good thing, but when there are too many people, it's too troublesome to organize the competition." The cashier boy complained, "So, then, do you want to sign up?"

"What's the competition method, and what are the rewards?" Jiang Xu asked.

"After a total of 128 contestants have signed up, I will draw lots. According to the order, every four people form a table. There will be a Dongfeng match, and only the top players will advance to the second round. Finally, 32 people will be selected to advance."

"The rest of the rules, rewards, etc., look at the signs yourself."

The cashier brother pointed to a notice board behind him.

Jiang Xu read it again and summarized it a little.

The largest number of applicants for the Rose Cup this time is 128 people.

In the first round, they only played Dongfeng Field, which was also a quarter of the banker. From the first round of the East to the end of the fourth round of the East, they only played four full rounds, and the average time was about half an hour.

Since there are only 16 mahjong machines in Quezhuang, 64 players play in two groups at a time.

After the four rounds of each table are played, only No.1 advances.

That is to say, after about an hour of the game, out of the 128 contestants, only 32 were left to advance to the second round, and the remaining 96 would either go home in the first round or stay as spectators.

At the beginning of the second round, we played one and a half dealers, that is, four rounds in the east wind and four rounds in the south wind, a total of eight rounds.

The top two advance to the next round, that is, 16 people advance.

In the third round, four players entered one, and they directly competed for the semi-finals to play in the final.

The rules are relatively rough, but after all, it is just a bird farm with simple conditions.

It's not easy to do this.

The contestants also took advantage of the holidays to participate in the event, and the time was short, and it was impossible to play for two or three days.

Therefore, after the second round, everyone has the opportunity to advance only by becoming No.1.

As for rewards, only those who enter the top 250 will be rewarded, [-] Happy Beans per person.

The top four will guarantee a minimum of 1000 happy beans per person, and an additional 250 happy beans will be added, plus a gift from the gods.

Calculated, No.1 can get a total of 2000 happy beans, which is not a low number.

Anyway, Jiang Xu was moved.

"I'm signing up." Jiang Xu raised his hand.

"I'll forget it." Dong Ze shook his head.

He knows his own level, and it is likely to be a round trip to go up, so there is no need to join in the fun.

"Okay. After the opening ceremony, I will draw lots and pay attention to my name and table position."

The cashier brother handed over a post-it note, asked Jiang Xu to write his name, threw it into the lottery box behind him, and then went to entertain other contestants.

The Rose Cup is a well-known event in the surrounding area.

Neighbors in the neighborhood are very happy to come and see the excitement, come to sign up for free, and use the mahjong machine for a free afternoon.

About half an hour later, the 128 entries will be closed, and those who come later can only be spectators.

The loudspeaker of Quezhuang sounded.

"Registration for the 136th Rose Cup of Someya Sparrow Village is over, and the battle is about to begin!"

"All contestants and audience please keep quiet during the ritual, thank you for your cooperation!"

With nearly 200 people, the bustling and extremely noisy Quezhuang gradually quieted down after the horn sounded.

If it is normal, it is impossible to cooperate like this.

However, most of the people who came today are regular customers. They have experienced the Rose Cup more than once and will actively cooperate.

Secondly, the next thing to do is related to the gods.

Believe it or not, you don't take the initiative to violate taboos.

With the huge bird village gradually quiet.

The old store manager walked out from behind the counter with a solemn face, twisting three sticks of incense and four sticks of incense in his hands, which looked like something sticky.

He walked straight towards the back of Quezhuang, came to a wall near the center, stretched out his hand and opened a pair of black windows on the wall, revealing the hollowed out wall, inside which was quietly placed a black and red shrine.

It is usually fenced off and no one is allowed to approach it.

The old store manager lit the incense, inserted it into the incense burner, and then placed the four burning sticks in front of the incense burner one by one.

After that, he took two steps back, facing the shrine, clasped his hands, bowed his head and closed his eyes, and prayed silently for about three seconds before opening his eyes and exiting the circle around the shrine.

While the old store manager prayed silently, many people behind him, including his grandson, bowed their heads silently to pray along with him.

As the burning incense filled the air, there was an invisible and silent atmosphere in the air.

The whole ritual of offering sacrifices to the gods is extremely simple, without much formal effort.

After the end, the atmosphere just now was completely destroyed in an instant.

Quezhuang was once again full of noisy popularity.

The game also began to draw lots, and the names in the horns were reported to four people.

Those whose names are called go to the front desk to register first, and then they can go to the corresponding mahjong table to prepare for the start of the first half of the first round.

Jiang Xu was at the sixth table, but it was in the second half, and he had to wait for about half an hour before the first half ended.

Since it was a continuous lottery, the four of them registered together at the same table, but they were not particularly familiar with each other when they saw each other, and they did not chat with each other.

Four people, besides Jiang Xu, there is also a fat uncle who looks chubby from top to bottom, an ordinary young man in a black jacket, and an old man of some age.

However, seeing that Jiang Xu was a student, the other three felt more or less relieved.

Half an hour later, the fifth table was played on time, and a bald middle-aged man laughed, overturned his hand, and advanced to the second round.

After they left the table, it was Jiang Xu's turn to fight.

There was no nonsense, and the four sat down.

According to the rules, the positions of the southeast, northwest winds are arranged in the order of the lottery.

The fat uncle sitting on Jiang Xu's right is the banker of the first round, and Zifeng is Dongfeng, which is also the owner.

The natural wind of Jiang Xu's current cycle is the south wind.

There are only four rounds in the Dongfeng Bureau, and each player can be the banker for at most one round.

Therefore, Jiang Xu was the second dealer.

The old man is the west wind, and the third is the villager.

Jacket youth is the north wind in this game, and the fourth is the villager.

Insert here a rule about the benefits of being a banker.

The rule of charging 1.5 times for the dealer's winning cards is to quickly accumulate chips.

But when being touched by the player, one-half of the chips must be paid alone.

It can be said that there are pros and cons.

But if you only play the Dongfeng game, because the number of games is small, it is definitely more cost-effective to be the banker first.

The last one to be the banker might be quickly overtaken by the opponent, ending the game directly.

A new card rises on the mahjong table, and the dealer presses the dice.

In the first round of the East, the game officially started.
