Nick Fury, Coulson, Hill...
Looking at the Superpower Police represented by Nick Fury, Mike said helplessly, "Why are you guys here too?"
Nick Fury said faintly, "I'm here to ensure the safety of the venue."
"Is that all?"
Mike was deeply skeptical.
"And to compete, win a trophy while I'm at it."
As Nick Fury spoke, he glanced at the trophy placed in the most conspicuous spot.
Turning his head to see Mike looking at him with a strange gaze, Nick Fury said expressionlessly, "What? We don't have the right to rest?"
"Suit yourself!"
Mike hurriedly said.
Besides, he was afraid Nick Fury would pull an "I protest" sign out of his pocket.
Seeing Coulson smiling at him, a drop of cold sweat appeared on Mike's forehead. After nodding to Coulson, he hurriedly moved away.
Coulson... was not to be trifled with!
After distancing himself from the people from the Superpower Police, Mike looked at everyone present and gently rubbed his chin.
With the addition of the Superpower Police, the number of people had increased significantly.
Avengers, X-Men, Superpower Police, and some family members...
Aside from Thor, who was wandering outside looking for Thanos and the others, the only superheroes Mike knew who hadn't come were the few members of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Mike slapped his forehead, looked at the time, and said, "Wait a moment, I'm going to buy a few more mahjong tables."
With that, Mike quickly departed.
About ten minutes later, a portal opened, and several more mahjong tables appeared in the hall.
After arranging the mahjong tables, Mike looked at everyone who had gathered and waved to Gwen and the other little ones.
"Dad, are we starting?"
Gwen ran over excitedly with the little ones.
Mike nodded and said, "There are a bit too many people. Joe will assist you."
A figure tore through space and quietly appeared. It was Jor-El.
Gwen: "Then we'll trouble you, Uncle El!"
Jor-El was the main referee; as for the few of them, they were accessories and mascots.
Jor-El nodded and said softly, "Leave it to me."
With that, he looked at the superheroes present and said loudly, "The drawing of lots begins!"
Following Jor-El's words, the crowd, who had been chatting quietly, immediately fell silent.
This Golden Dice Tournament had superheroes, ordinary people, billionaires, scientists with superb IQs, and even a King and Queen...
Watching T'Challa mixing into the X-Men team with Storm, the corner of Mike's mouth twitched.
But thinking about it, even Odin and the Ancient One were mixed in here, so there was nothing to be surprised about.
This competition might be the most pretentious competition in the world.
A virtual light screen appeared in front of everyone.
Names began to scroll randomly. Everyone stared intently at the light screen, looking for their own names.
Mike VS Rhodey VS Barton VS Scott Lang.
Seeing his own name, Mike grinned.
Ha!
These three people?
He, Mike, was going to slaughter them!
He scanned the list of other people.
Captain (Odin) VS Peggy Carter VS Scott (Cyclops) VS Sam.
Curator (Ancient One) VS Wanda VS Bucky VS Maria.
Ha!
The Ancient One and Odin met Peggy Carter and Maria respectively?
Although Peggy Carter and Maria's card skills weren't great, they had at least piled up some skills with money.
They might be knocked out in the first round. How pitiful.
Mike couldn't help but feel sad (happy) for the two of them.
Hank Pym was at a table with Pietro, Natasha, and Vision, while the brothers Charles and Erik met Emma and Logan, becoming a table of civil war.
Raven encountered Jean, Remy LeBeau, and Bruce.
Looking at Gambit, who had a smile on his face, the corner of Mike's eye jumped.
It seemed that Raven might also be eliminated in the first round.
As for the organizer Tony, he encountered Clark, Nick Fury, and T'Challa, forming a high-quality male card game.
Agent Hill encountered Storm, Crystal, and Daisy.
Finally, the few young X-Men who came to make up the numbers gathered at one table.
Sweeping his gaze over everyone, Mike muttered while rubbing his chin, "Hela didn't come?"
He had actually wanted to see how Odin would handle it if Hela appeared.
"She's not interested in this."
Erik touched his head and said helplessly.
Mike nodded and said, "That's good too."
Lest Hela recognized Odin and this mahjong competition turned into a father-daughter duel.
"Go for it! Kids! Don't let this trophy fall into someone else's hands!"
Mike patted the three of them on the shoulder, and they nodded with smiles.
Thus, the first round of the competition officially began.
The competition used a point system. Everyone had ten points; losing them all meant elimination.
Therefore, the number of people eliminated at each table wasn't fixed; it could be anywhere from one to three.
Mike sat in his seat, gently tapping the tabletop. Rhodey, Barton, and Scott Lang felt some pressure looking at Mike like this. They exchanged glances, and the three, who had discussed countermeasures in advance, nodded imperceptibly and sat in their seats.
Noticing the expressions of the three, Mike raised his eyebrows.
These three were probably going to cause trouble for him.
However, with their card skills... Ha!
Watching the three clumsily and unfamiliarity draw tiles, Mike curled his lips in disdain.
These guys probably just memorized the rules and came to participate without even touching tiles before.
Such a motley crew dared to show off their incompetence!
Mike arranged his tiles, his fingers brushing over each one, instantly knowing what he had.
He was going to eliminate all three of them this time.
Self-drawn win!
Mike won the first hand cleanly and efficiently; it hadn't even been a minute.
The corners of the three men's mouths twitched, their faces full of helplessness.
Although they knew they were noobs, being knocked out in less than three minutes was too embarrassing.
The three exchanged glances and initiated their plan.
Intentionally discarding winning tiles for each other!
The result...
"Thanks!"
Mike smiled at the three, his eyes twinkling with amusement as if he had seen through their petty thoughts.
The three: "..."
Initiate Plan B!
As experienced superheroes, how could they only prepare one plan...
Slap!
With a crisp sound, Mike slapped his hand on the table in front of him and said with a faint smile, "Hey! There's actually a little bug!"
As he spoke, amidst the three men's pale faces, he pinched a small ant in front of him, crushed it with his fingers, blew lightly, and smiled at the three: "Let's continue!"
The three men's faces turned pale, and they shuddered. In the end, all three were eliminated simultaneously.
Mike snorted softly.
Trying to pull small tricks in front of him? Did they think his super vision was non-existent?
Standing up and stretching, Mike looked at the others, and then the corner of his mouth twitched wildly.
The people using various methods weren't just the three just now.
There were mind readers, those using X-ray vision, those using artificial intelligence to calculate, and even those quietly using magic...
Although these people acted very covertly, under Mike's super vision, everything was seen by him.
At this moment, Mike suddenly felt like a teacher on the podium, with a group of students sitting below playing petty tricks in class, thinking the teacher couldn't see them.
"Tsk, tsk!"
Mike shook his head, his eyes flickering.
In that case, it seemed he had to make some preparations too.
Of course, he looked down on these clumsy cheating methods.
Checking everyone's current scores and confirming there was still some time before the competition ended, Mike walked to a corner, and a blank card appeared in his hand.
With a thought, a figure with slicked-back hair and chocolate in his mouth gradually appeared on the card.
A moment later, several identical cards appeared in Mike's hand, and then he directly reinforced one card to level three.
Mike nodded with satisfaction. Now there shouldn't be any accidents.
With a thought, the cards in his hand dissolved into spots of light. After a phantom appeared behind Mike, it turned into light spots and rushed into Mike's body.
Some people noticed Mike's actions, and the corners of their eyes jumped.
Could they even play anymore!
He was already powerful, and now he was buffing himself?
However, some contestants expressed that they didn't care.
Because... they were eliminated in the first round and didn't need to worry about encountering Mike at all.
Barton and the other two standing in the corner revealed relieved smiles.
The first round ended quickly, and some people who came to make up the numbers were all eliminated.
Like Barton and the other two, and like poor Odin.
"It's rigged! It's absolutely rigged!"
Odin shouted loudly.
"It's just that your card skills are too poor!"
Peggy Carter, who was at the same table as Odin, said leisurely, patting Odin on the shoulder gently. "You have to practice more!"
This time, she directly knocked out the three people at her table, and couldn't help but feel a sense of elation.
She, Peggy Carter, indeed had the bearing of a champion. She was going to take the first trophy!
Wearing a confident smile, Peggy Carter, supported by the three losers behind her, glanced at Steve and Maria.
Steve nodded to her, obviously having entered the next round as well, but Maria...
Looking at Maria's ugly expression, her heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Maria lost?
"Oh! Maria really lost!"
Mike muttered while rubbing his chin.
Peggy Carter heard this and looked at Mike in confusion.
Mike chuckled and didn't explain.
Maria's table had the Ancient One and Wanda...
Facing their magic and abilities, it would be strange if Maria and Bucky could make it to the next round.
Only magic can defeat magic.
However, according to Mike's observation, the Ancient One seemed not to have used magic, relying entirely on her own skills.
The Ancient One's skills?
Could it be that the Ancient One had come into contact with mahjong a long time ago?
Thinking about the location of Kamar-Taj and the Ancient One's current age, Mike's face darkened.
If he guessed correctly, the Ancient One might be the most terrifying one.
It was worth celebrating that all three Clark brothers made it to the next round, but Raven was defeated by Remy LeBeau.
After all, Remy LeBeau was known as Gambit. Although his favorite game was poker, he also dabbled in other card games. Coupled with his cheating techniques, defeating Raven, the "three-tile player," and Bruce was quite easy.
Fortunately, Bruce was emotionally stable; otherwise, Remy LeBeau might have won the game but lost his life.
Jean, who was at their table, used her abilities to take the first round.
As for the high-quality male game represented by Clark and Tony, which Mike paid close attention to, it ended with T'Challa and Nick Fury being eliminated.
Facts proved that no matter how smart or calculating you were, you were weak as dregs in front of "cheats."
The first round wiped out half the people.
However, most of those eliminated in the first round were just there for the fun.
The second round began.
Unfortunately, Mike was assigned to a father-son game, and it was a complete father-son game.
Mike and his three sons.
The father and three sons sat together, staring at each other, their faces full of helplessness.
Mike looked at the three with a headache, not knowing who to send out.
Fortunately, these three boys didn't make things difficult for Mike.
Each one fired a cannon once, sending Mike to the next round.
Thus, because the points obtained could be accumulated, Mike's total score temporarily ranked first.
In the third round, Mike met his old opponent, Peggy Carter.
With Mike intentionally going easy on her, Peggy Carter squeezed into the next round.
In the fourth round, Mike passed without worry, but a dramatic scene occurred on the field.
The Ancient One, Jean, Wanda, and Peggy Carter actually collided.
Undoubtedly...
Peggy Carter shed tears on the field, her dream of championship shattered.
Steve held Peggy Carter, who was buried in his arms and aggrieved to the extreme, and said helplessly, "Don't be sad, I was eliminated too."
Hearing this, Peggy Carter became even sadder.
The competition continued.
After two more rounds, the final four were finally decided.
Mike, the Ancient One, Jean, and Wanda.
The battle between the four could be described as "exceptionally tragic."
Magic, superpowers, reality warping, and even psychic power...
The space centered on the four of them became distorted.
In the end, because Mike had more points, after Wanda was the first to lose all her points, this contest came to a close.
The Ancient One sighed with some regret. Because she was afraid of exposing her identity and attracting attention, she didn't use magic at all. Otherwise... even with Jean specifically feeding points to Mike, she was confident she could have taken first place.
Looking at Mike and Wanda, Wanda looked unhappy. She walked to Pietro and said with disgust, "You're too useless! If you could have made it to the finals and fed me some points, I could have taken first place!"
Pietro said with a mournful face, "I met Vision! That guy calculated all my tiles! I had no way to win! And I just learned mahjong!"
If Vision hadn't met Tony and voluntarily given up calculation, maybe Vision would have also made it to the finals.
Wanda looked at Pietro angrily. "I don't care, it's your fault!"
Pietro: "!"
Meanwhile, on the other side, Mike happily patted Jean's head, revealing a loving smile like an old father, and said, "Good job, Jean!"
Jean's face turned slightly red.
"Our family can't lose to others no matter what!"
Hearing this, Jean's face turned so red it looked like it could bleed.
Mike chuckled and lowered his voice to say to Jean, "I support you and Charles!"
Hearing this, Jean's mind went blank for a moment, and she hurriedly said, "Thank you!"
"Hahaha!"
Mike laughed, and under everyone's smiling gazes, he lifted the trophy.
He, Mike Kent, was the champion of the first Golden Dice Cup Mahjong Tournament!
