Unaided 不求 · bùqiú
When a concealed hand that declared Heavenly or Earthly ready self-draws, Concealed hand is already part of the ready bonus, so it scores Self-draw 1 plus Unaided 1 instead of Concealed self-draw.
South self-draws, after declaring heavenly ready, East round, East deals.
Self-draw 1 + Unaided 1 + Seat wind 1 + Heavenly ready 8 = 11 tai
