Chapter 282
[TL Note: Dou Dizhu literally means fighting the landlord, and it is a card game in the genre of shedding and gambling . It is one of the most popular card games played in China . ]
“Hey! It’s not fun!” In the Jiuhua City Shop, Song Qingfeng exited virtual reality mode and sighed, “The people from the Morning Star Sea Realm stopped fighting after only two charges . I thought they would last longer!”
“They had to retreat since they were defeated,” Lin Shao said, “Their items were dropped everywhere; many of them don’t have complete skills, so they couldn’t continue the battle . ”
“By the way, should we go back and collect vegetables?”
Beside them sat Nalan Mingxue and Lan Yan, and they both yelled, “Let’s go and collect vegetables!”
Shen Qingqing looked worried . “Did the shop owner steal from us again?”
Nalan Mingxue said mildly, “I’m afraid that he won’t dare to come anymore . ”
“Ugh?” Shen Qingqing and the others looked at her in surprise .
“I bought a dog yesterday,” Nalan Mingxue’s lips curved with smugness while she explained .
“You had enough money to buy a dog?” Shen Qingqing asked in surprise .
“She bought a small one,” Lan Yan explained for her, “I checked the information, and it said that this dog will be as ferocious as a wolf when it grows up . It is enough to guard the courtyard . ”
“Really?” Shen Qingqing said in resentment, “I wish it would bite him! Then, I’ll see if he dares to steal vegetables from us in the future!”
“Did you buy a dog too?” Dong Qingli heard their conversation and asked, “Is it cute? Is it as silly as the shop owner’s dog?”
“Ugh…” Nalan Mingxue said, “It’s okay . ”
“It’s very cute!” Lan Yan added, “It’s young and loves to play . Do you want to come and have a look?”
“Good!”
The girls accepted the invitations and came to Nalan Mingxue’s Qzone .
“Ms . Nalan’s dog is very obedient except that it likes to nibble on things…” Lan Yan told them in excitement, “It’s chubby and very cute . ”
While she spoke, they walked into the courtyard . “Yuanyuan! Yuan…?”
Then, she was stupefied .
The whole vegetable field was ravaged, and it looked as if a tornado had swept through it!
What happened?!
“Where’s the dog?! Did that villain Fang Qi hit it?!” Lan Yan was worried about the dog .
A black-and-white silly dog was sitting on the ground . Seeing its master, it wagged its tail wildly and trotted up as if it wanted to show off its ‘achievement’ .
When it saw Nalan Mingxue, it rubbed itself on her snow-white boots .
“Wu… Wu…” With half a piece of a vegetable leaf hanging from its mouth, it looked up at her with big, watery eyes .
Nalan Mingxue had the urge to stomp this silly dog with her foot!
Looking at its face that seemed like it was asking for a compliment, she was torn between laughing and giving it a lesson . She stood facing the wind in stupefaction .
At this moment, a beep sounded in QQ .
It came from Mr . Fang . [When did you buy the Husky? It’s super cute . ]
Then, he sent a picture in which he and the little Husky each held a daikon, saying, [It can even help its master pull out daikons . ]
Nalan Mingxue who was always calm and collected couldn’t remain cool any more!
“Hahahaha!” Mr . Fang sent a meme of the Akita Inu’s laughing face, very happy at her ‘misfortune and misery’ .
[I will tell you one thing; the Husky will work with me . ]
How dare she use a Husky to guard her home?
[Don’t be smug! (Akita Inu’s disdainful face) (Akita Inu’s ferocious face)]
– In Nalan Mingxue’s Qzone –

“The dog is so cute!” With stars in her eyes, Dong Qingli picked it up and put it in her arms, not caring that it was dirty .
“So warm! Look at its face!”
“It’s more fun than Mr . Fang’s memes!”
“What are Mr . Fang’s memes?” Lan Yan was baffled .
“The pictures that Mr . Fang uses every day!”
Lan Yan was at a loss for words .
In her mind, the funny face of the Akita Inu that Mr . Fang used every day and the sneaky smile on Mr . Fang’s face after stealing vegetables came together, and the two pictures had an equal sign connecting them .
“Hahahaha!”
She laughed so hard she that bent her back .
Then, all the people in the field understood the joke and laughed as hard as they could .
It seemed to be the only way that could alleviate their misery of being robbed by Mr . Fang .
Oblivious to the fact that the girls were making fun of him, Mr . Fang was now browsing the items in the shop .
He remembered that one could buy computers and even games such as Street Fighter in the shop . After glancing at the prices, he found that the computers were expensive . He could barely buy one with the big fortune that he made by growing and stealing vegetables everyday . After buying the computer, he had no money left to buy games .
The objects for pure entertainment were rather cheap, but other games such as Street Fighter were expensive since they could unlock new features after certain conditions were met .
Therefore, Mr . Fang reached out his evil hands toward a very cheap little game which looked like a set of poker cards – Happy Fight the Landlord!
Since he was chatting with Nalan Mingxue in QQ, he sent her a message, [Want to come and play Fight the Landlord?]
“What’s that?”

[A small game to test players’ IQs,] Mr . Fang tempted her with a straight face .
[Testing IQ? This is obviously a way to provoke me . It must be a trick (Akita Inu’s disdainful face)]
[Damn!]
On the other side, seeing that she had only about ten minutes of computer time left, Su Tianji sat down on the bed in her Qzone and sulked .
She sprawled on the bed .
“What’s wrong with me? I don’t want to cultivate or battle…”
She rolled over and got up .
On the verge of going offline, she suddenly felt bored with life .
She cursed when she remembered that she had to go to battle in a few days, “Damn it!”
Instead of being worried about the crisis, she just wanted to sleep .
In QQ, Mr . Fang suddenly sent her a message . [Want to come and play Fight the Landlord 😄?]
Su Tianji asked, [What’s that?]
[It’s a little game to test players’ IQs . ] Mr . Fang replied with a straight face . [Come on! I called Young Master Song and others too!]
[I’ll get offline in ten minutes; what game can I play?] Su Tianji lost interest .
[Don’t worry! We can play several rounds in 10 minutes!]
[Ugh? Really?]
[Coming! Coming!]

After Fang Qi explained the rules to them, they learned the game fast . Soon, voices sounded in Mr . Fang’s room .
“I call Landlord!”
“I will rob it!”
“Plane!”
“Trio with a single card!”
“Pass!”
“Little Joker!”
“Big Joker!”
“What’s fun about this game?” Xiao Yulv mumbled to himself while he watched them play, “It’s just a bit more complicated than Pai Gow…”
[TL Note: Pai gow is a Chinese gambling game, played with a set of 32 Chinese dominoes . It is played in major casinos in China, the United States, Canada, Australia, and, New Zealand . ]
On the next day, Xiao Yulv sat down on the couch with a set of cards identical to the ones that Fang Qi played with yesterday .
“Come on! Let’s play Fight the Landlord! Anyone who has finished their computer time or can’t get online, come and play Fight the Landlord with me!”
Meanwhile, Mr . Fang was counting his winnings . “Playing two more days of cards and I will be able to buy Street Fighter…”
His QQ was flooded with the messages . [Scummy shop owner! Return our hard-earned money!]
