Chapter 15 Part 3: Corporate Invasion

“My nickname is Pardan, and I stream on Twitch playing Mahjong and Jechat.”

“I watched a bit of that stream and I think they’re called virtual YouTubers? Something like that, but I don’t know much about it.”

When the other person casually mentioned it, the other chatroom accepted it as something only fanboys do.

They are fanboys, but my chatroom is itching to say something to refute them.

You guys are fanboys, right? Please don’t deny it!

“Uh.. I have this on too, but I actually don’t know much about it.

I was originally going to do it as a no-cam, but the viewers got too bored..

I thought it would be more fun to watch if I had this on.”

Even I automatically deny it.

But isn’t the fact that I don’t know a thing?

=Are we embarrassed? =

From the way this person talks, it seems like a fanboy.

Hmm… =

To begin with, knowing that a virtual YouTuber is right away isn’t someone who’s a total idiot.

“But the fact that they do it without any resistance in the first place is already… isn’t it?”

“I feel like there was some intention behind what the teacher said.

Am I over-reading it?

Is it okay to talk to a teacher like this?

Have you heard of the expression ‘military-military unity’?”

“No, he hasn’t taught me anything yet and we’re not even a master-student relationship in the first place.”

==============

=That person is funnyaaaaaa =

Master-student relationship as they please ¬¬¬¬¬

He’s acting like he’s on air.

= It’s a bit weird when he suddenly comes in.

It’s clear that he has experience in broadcasting because he’s not just accepting it but pretending to be embarrassed.

Or is he really embarrassed?

From what I’ve seen from him coming and going, it seems like the concept is to have a bit of a taste of defeat.

Since it’s unlikely that a professional broadcaster would show off in a really awkward situation, I guess he’s just accepting it.

I don’t know much about mahjong, but in the chat, he keeps saying that the teacher is a really good player.

I’ve seen him play and heard him review, but I don’t really get the feel for it.

What should I think his level is?

Like how much he’s played or what his skill level is.

“Mahjong… My friend has been playing for about 16 years.

He played Chinese Mahjong for about 6 years, and then Lichi, or Japanese Mahjong, for 10 years.”

“Wow, 16 years… If you’ve been playing for 16 years, you must be really good at it.”

“I’m good at it, but it’s not like you get good at it because you’ve been playing for 16 years.

People who are really good at it, talented people, get used to the game after playing for a week or a month and quickly get the hang of it.

It’s not like you can just play it with talent, but it’s definitely a game that requires skill.

I’ve always been good at it, but I think I’m better now than I was 7 years ago.”

7 years ago, I was still at 8th dan, but my stable level was in the late 6th dan.

A few months ago, my stable level was in the late 8th dan, and now my stable level is in the early 9th dan.

I’m the same now as I was then, but I feel like my skills have definitely improved because of the skill that comes with time.

“If a talented person shows their talent from the start, I could become an expert in a week too?”

“I don’t know. I’ll have to wait and see.

But if you look at the review you sent, um…”

= kekekekekekekekeke It looks like a knife =

Gosh, go.

“Mahjong isn’t like LoL where people who don’t know the game can watch it and say things like ‘Wow, it’s amazing, the physical skills are crazy.’

If I were to explain the rules, you’d probably know the basic rules, and if I were to lecture you on how this is and that is, you’d probably just get hit with a series of (sleep) emoticons.”

“That’s true.”

If I came to a merger, burned the chat window with abusive (sleep) emoticons, and then leisurely disappeared…

I could use the episode itself or use my character on the broadcast, but I don’t think that would be helpful to me.

It’s not like I’d be honored to appear even once.

“That’s why I think it would be better if Jaehyun showed it to me once, I’d reply to it, and then I’d point it out and play a round.”

Mahjong doesn’t have any physical skills or anything to show off, so it would be boring to just watch other people play.

And if some weird virtual YouTuber or something like that were invited and played the game, no one would watch.

While Jaehyun turned on the gamepad again and set up this and that, I looked at the chat in that room.

Recent updates are boring, the girl’s voice is pretty, isn’t that what nerds do if you’re a virtual YouTuber?

Etc.

You said you’d only release a few updates today but now you’re even calling people over and telling them to please stop releasing updates.

There are a lot of negative opinions about mahjong.

Why on earth don’t people play such a fun game?

If mahjong was that fun, wouldn’t everyone have played it??

= Yeah—I wouldn’t do it even if you say so~ =

= Yeah—We’d be screwed without you guys—Please do it—

Thinking that I should use this opportunity to educate these guys and increase the number of people playing mahjong, I looked at the opponent’s broadcast screen.

First of all, his rank is beginner 3.

He’s not bad for playing for two days without anyone teaching him, right?

But the ones floating below are paid characters.

No, you’re saying it’s only been two days?

“You have to start by spending money when playing this type of game—”

“It’s not like you get any special benefits if you buy a paid character..”

I’m just using Ichihime too.

I’m using the Ikki Tousen skin though.

I don’t do shamanism, but I feel like a character needs to stand out and effects need to look cool.

Well, it’s a matter of personal taste so I can’t say anything.

If that’s what you want then that’s what it is.

“Don’t look at me with such a cold gaze all of a sudden!

I can spend money on things like this!”

“Okay, let’s play a round.

Let’s play the first round without saying anything.”

“Okay.”

Dongtak, Dongpungjeon, 1st country.

1 lyricist, 3 beginners.

Ordinary Dongtak.

Lee Shanten of Rich Nomi (Reference 1).

The final waiting game is likely to be Woo-hyung, but normally, it is right to just keep pushing.

“12 is a bit unpleasant, so I’ll throw it away.”

But if you do that, you are not a beginner.

As expected, you are throwing away high probability and going for low probability by breaking blocks.

Well, I understand the mindset of beginners.

The logic is that it is more important to have many generals in the final waiting game.

In a way, it makes sense.

Isn’t it important to have many buyers in the fire situation?

That kind of logic.

There were many stories like that in the past.

Maybe 15-20 years ago?

It means you are behind the times.

Even if you catch Lee Shanten of Pure Love (Reference 2), it is weaker than Tangyao Nomi’s 1,000-point fire.

Mahjong is not a game of making pretty shapes, but a game of making a reverse and making fire.

=Even considering that it’s Dong-tak, it’s still stuffy====

??? Isn’t it supposed to be like that?

Isn’t double-sided that unconditionally better?

=That kind of mahjong is dead =

Stop the occult (Reference 3)!!!!!!

= This is the digital era (Reference 4) =

What the heck, I can’t even tell what’s going on.

The chat in my room is okay because there are people who know a bit about mahjong, but the chat in the other room is total hell.

If I get caught with just one of these, what’s the fuss?

If I get caught with just one of the required tiles, what’s the fuss?

Sigh… If it were me, I would’ve banned you…

The dizzying game continues.

I discard the 12, tsumomo the 3, then tsumomo the 2 again for 23 double-sided waiting furiten (Reference 5), tenpai.

“Why isn’t this working! What the! Why is it furiten again! Ah!!!!”

=33 =================

=Are you coming to your senses?

Are you coming to your senses?

Are you coming to your senses?

Are you coming to your senses?

Are you coming to your senses?

Are you coming to your senses?

Are you coming to your senses?

Are you coming to your senses?

Are you crazy?

You’re really untalented ¬¬¬¬¬¬

=But why can’t you do that? =

The rules are really difficult.

I watch Koragsuni spinning around while smoking a cigarette.

While spinning to avoid Furiten, he receives a tile while throwing a dangerous tile, giving Taga 8,000 points with a full view.

The TXXX bums laugh happily and Jaehyun cries, saying “Eok-kka.”

It’s a disaster in itself.

Starting with 17,000 points in the East 2nd country Oya.

Unlike before, this is a hand that requires 4 cards up to Tenpai.

Even if you assume a 50% chance of a valid tile coming in, it’s the 8th turn, and if it’s a 30% chance, it’s the 12th turn.

If it’s a 20% chance, it’s the 20th turn.

It’s a hand that’s better to just give up.

Extension is absolutely impossible.

The best judgment is to not be greedy and do it roughly, but there’s no need or reason for a beginner to do that.

This is Full Gentz (Reference 6).

And in order to somehow finish it off, he just keeps throwing unnecessary heavy cards and pays 3900 again with Ron.

It’s a common thing under the Oktak, so it’s better to just forget about it, but with 13100 in the 3 countries of the East Wind, Las is almost certain.

Unless he catches Oya, he has to give Hanemann to Man-gwan in order to get the top.

“This is a total rip-off!!

No, it makes no sense to just give him his own cards!!

It’s the line, so what should I do!!

Just let him go like that?

Does that make sense?

I’m the only one who’s being ripped off by Paesan.”

[Jaehyeon, please stop donating 1,000 won.]

• Doesn’t seem right, but “Get out!!”

= kekekekekekekekekekekeke =

‘Fake talent’ =

He’s really fucking bad =

No, it’s really frustrating, I’m going crazy.

Are you doing this on purpose? =

Neng Ji Cheo Cheom =

What the heck kind of rip-off kekekeke

The 3 countries safely defeat Langshantian.

This is a good hand that can be used to aim for a full crown by attaching Ura to Richie Pinghu Doral.

If you’re lucky, you can avoid Las even if you don’t make it to the top with a full crown, and if not, you can defend by discarding 19.

“Isn’t this a waste? Is it a waste?

Ah..ah.. I don’t know, Pong Hae!!!!!

With 3 Doras and Tang Yao, it’s a full crown!!!

Tang Yao is faster!”

Jaehyun betrays my expectations and casts No Guard Tang Yao while hitting the required card.

I take a deep drag on my cigarette before I know it.

I feel slightly dizzy from the nicotine.

No, I think the dizziness isn’t because of the nicotine but because of that game…

And he shows off his charisma by continuously using 3 valid cards in tsumo, making a full crown tsumo in 3 countries.

Soon, in the 4th country, he does something crazy again while aiming for the top and ends up in Oyappane (Reference 7) Las.

It was a miserable ending, but Jaehyun’s expression on the other side of the broadcast was different from what I expected.

It was a feeling of injustice, arrogance, and something completely different from the game content he had created.

“What did you think, teacher?

Did I really get screwed?”

“Ugh… How much can I say?

Since we’re just meeting, wouldn’t it be a bit much to curse?”

A chat room where ¬¬¬¬ is continuously being used.

A streamer with a really wronged expression.

Is it sincere or a concept?

“Not a concept. I really got beat up!!!

I got beat up with Furiten in the first round, and in the second round, I got some trash like this, so how did I get first place~”

“I really don’t know where to start talking about this…

The cards I received and the cards that came in were all fine.

I couldn’t see a single trace of being beat up..

If there’s a problem, well.”

=Skill, cognition =

Public execution, damn itaa ¬¬¬¬¬¬ =

No knowledge ============

Your skill.

“How can this be my problem!!

I got totally beat up, and this is really only me getting beat up and feeling wronged!!”

“Let’s just look at the hand history and talk about it.

Do you want to turn it on?”

While Jaehyun mumbled and turned on the hand history, I briefly turned on the mahjong gallery.

As expected, it was full of stories about human rooms.

Lately, there have been so many dogshit games that I didn’t even want to go in, but now there are more floating nicknames and game questions being asked little by little.

In particular, there were many people who uploaded screenshots of the game that was in progress and asked, “What’s the problem here???”

The gallery members cheered and answered the questions at the unexpected special broadcast.

But why are you going there?

I came here to coach in the first place.

“Okay.”

“Then let’s take a look.

What do you think when you see the hand?”

“Hmm… Is it not good?”

“No. This is a good hand. A very good hand.”

Laughter erupted from the chat window once again.

“There are two cards left until the fire, but on average, when you receive a hand, you need about 3.5 cards until the fire, right?

But since it’s two cards, it’s completely above average.

In fact, if you look at other people’s hands, they’re all slower than Jaehyun.

There’s nothing wrong with the hand.”

“But the next hand you received wasn’t bad either.

I discarded it, but it came out and became a free ten.”

“Normally, they don’t discard it like that.

Let’s throw away something else.”

The chat window exploded at those firm words.

“Damn, please listen to us, Jaehyun, you have no talent, please stop playing recent games and go play another game…”

Recent games? Mahjong is so fun.

After looking at the chat for a while, Jaehyun, who had his head down, raises his head again.

“Look, the one I just threw away received 5 Sak, so I threw away 12 cans, right?

I know what you meant by that.

If it becomes ten-pai on the other side, you can only wait for 3 or 4 cards, but you’ve already thrown away one of the 3 cans.

Then since it’s 3, the probability must be low, I think you threw it away thinking that way.”

“How did you know??”

“Beginners usually do that.”

“Ha.”

Thud.

A shotgun blast went off beyond the monitor.

The shotgun blast felt a bit artificial, but the chat window was in complete chaos.

If you look at the donations from a few minutes ago that were delayed by a thousand won, you must be happy inside…

But is it too mentally attacking?

However, there is nothing more important than knowing your current state.

“But if you think about it, the probability of getting 3-3 cards seems low, right?

But if you receive one of the 5-sak adjacent cards, 3-sak, 4-sak, 5-sak, 6-sak, or 7-sak, for example, if you receive 4-sak, what would be higher if you calculate the probability of waiting for 3-sak or 6-sak from 45-sak?

If you look at the river, that is, the discarded cards, there are actually about 10 discarded cards out of 34567-sak, so if you include that, the probability seems to go down a lot.”

“I was wrong!”

“Well, it’s not that it was wrong. I just didn’t know.

If you learn, you’ll improve quickly…

For now, I’ll just leave it at this for the first round.

If I tell you all the judgments that follow, I think there’s too much to say and it’ll be like repeating what I said.

As for the Furiten issue, if you discarded it appropriately, it wouldn’t have happened, so I don’t think it’s necessary to explain it now.”

Let’s take a look at the second board.

At 17,000 points, Oya.

The defeat is Sanshan Ten.

Going down is the answer, but Dong-tak doesn’t necessarily need to go down from the beginning.

From Dong-tak’s perspective, the correct answer is to reach after full Zentsu.

Because others are slow too.

“Then this is a fortuitous defeat?”

“Not at all.”

In times like this, you have to speak firmly.

Stop your crazy fantasies!

Stop the chat window!

While chanting, Jaehyun sincerely explained that what he had been hit with was a fortuitous defeat.

The defeat is slow, there is no Dora or Aka, and no valid defeats, but he tried to do it anyway and got hit, so how is this a fortuitous defeat?

“That’s not a fortuitous defeat, let’s just say it’s the natural course of things.

He was going to open the game with a bad defeat and got hit, so how is it a fortuitous defeat?”

“You said you could take it into consideration!”

“That’s just sloppy work, and it makes sense because they’re new.

When Damascenes get hit by two or three minions during laning, people point out that it’s a mistake.

But in Absil, it doesn’t really matter if you get hit by two or three minions during laning.

Your opponent will make mistakes too.

That’s what it feels like now.

In Absil, isn’t getting hit by a minion a mistake?

We just let it slide.”

=========

=Fact bomb =

Logical =

Sensational re-enactment of ‘Absil’ =

He claims he has talent for Damascene, but the reality is Absil¬¬¬¬

Ah¬¬ The laning phase is important ¬¬

=Let’s have some swearing time.

Please, what about the third game?

He must think he did well since he finished with a full-on Tsumo Charyeok Show.

“Didn’t he actually do well?”

“Well, since he finished, I guess you could say he did well and that it’s right…”

It’s good that he made Tang Yao, who was confirmed to be a full-on Tang Yao, after receiving Dora Pong.

But it doesn’t make sense that he discarded Langshanten and received Pong, returned to Shantenmodoshi as Sanshanten, and that the final stage was not double-sided but Ganchandaegi.

Not only did the opponent lose, but if you actually look back, there are two people in tenpai.

Looking at the odds, it’s ridiculous that he broke through the stunts, so if he knew this and did it, isn’t he a real mahjong god?

However, there’s something that Pro XXX always emphasizes.

You have to push correctly and shoot correctly.

According to internal logic and consistency, even if it seems like you’ll shoot, if it’s the right move, you have to push to improve your skill.

You might ask what skill there is in shooting, but in the end, he’s saying that you shouldn’t show off your tricks and just go with the flow.

“In other words, what the teacher did was just a trick.

He threw away dangerous cards like Wadadadada, and did a stunt that was almost ridiculous in terms of probability, and then he finished it, so that’s called skill.

Well, if he finished it, it would have been the right judgment.”

“If you win, that’s enough!”

“That’s right… But in terms of skill, it’s not at all.”

It’s like saying that playing the game like this, where you get beat in the lane and run away to top and take top three times in a 2-1, and then your mentality goes out the window and the opponent throws you, is a skill and that’s what I’m good at.

It’s not skill at all, so it’s a bit weird to call it skill.

Isn’t it true that winning the lane and winning team fights the right way is skill, and running away and taking a 2:1 is just a gimmick?

“So you need to practice getting CS, practice seeing the enemy in team fights, and practice eliminating tunnel vision, but if you win by doing this before and run away to top in the next game and the game after that when you lose the lane and take a 2:1 in the next game and the game after that, it’s obvious that you have no skill or anything…”

“Understood… I’ll admit it!!”

I’ll say what I need to say.
