If she really couldn't win the game, she would be like that player. She absolutely didn't want that kind of thing to happen.
This scumbag girl, although she is quite bad in love, seems to be easy to get along with. She should be better at gambling than me.
"I...I wasn't careful."
Machiko finally let go of his hand, but she remained very close to Naoki. She instinctively felt that Naoki had a gentle temperament, so she wanted to get closer.
Igarashi Kiyoka, who was standing by, frowned after seeing this scene. Machiko was too close to Naoki, and Naoki didn't seem to want to get rid of her.
So, does this mean the three of them are going to act together?
Chapter 132: Does charm also work on demons?
"Where do we go now?"
Although he asked this question, it was obvious that Igarashi Qinghua didn't really mean to ask.
After all, the rules of the game are already very clear, and the next step must be to find a demon that is relatively easy to defeat.
So, the key point of asking this question is very obvious, which is who exactly "we" includes.
Naoki didn't think too much about it. He hummed and said, "Let's take a look around first. This billiards demon's superpowers are too advantageous for the game rules it designed."
Igarashi Qinghua nodded. If all demons had such abnormal superpowers, it would be impossible to win if they competed with them in the field they were good at.
"Let's go and look around. Maybe we can find someone easier to deal with."
Igarashi Qinghua then asked again: "Should we act separately?"
"Well, that's fine, but the demons we find may not be ones we're good at dealing with. And the rules don't say we have to win, just that we have to get the token, so I think it's safer for the three of us to be together."
"Indeed, I'm afraid someone might try to use violence. And, I think this is also what the goat-horned demon expected."
Igarashi Qinghua looked at the goat-horned demon who was sitting leisurely in the center of the hall. The people who were looking for the demon were walking around it intentionally or unintentionally.
"Let's go, hurry up."
Naoki looked at Machiko behind him who seemed a little panicked, and then looked at Igarashi Seika.
They didn't know each other at all, but for now, they decided to act together.
Probably because they gathered on the first floor first, most of the players gathered there, so Naoki simply took the two of them to the second floor to look for them.
This hotel is very large and has all the necessary entertainment facilities, including a bar, swimming pool and gym.
"Do you feel like there's something wrong?"
After walking around the second floor, Naoki and the others visited all the public places except the rooms that they could not enter without the key. They did not see any demons as obvious as the billiard demon on the first floor.
Apparently, they had all gone into hiding.
Machiko shook her head.
Igarashi Qinghua replied, "Since it's hide-and-seek, it shouldn't be that easy to find. Conversely, demons that are easy to find are definitely not that easy to deal with."
"That makes sense. Where would they hide?"
Naoki glanced at the elevator beside her. She had a hunch that demons would like to hide in such a confined space to scare people.
Machiko flinched as she saw Naoki walk towards the elevator and press the button.
"Ah, do you want to take the elevator? Or take the stairs. It feels like it might be dangerous."
Igarashi Qinghua snorted lightly, obviously thinking that this temporary companion had not yet understood the situation and was also timid. It was precisely because things were prone to happen in elevators that he had to look for it here.
However, she didn't say it directly.
Naoki explained, "Well, I've looked everywhere else, but it's not here, so I went to check."
The elevator door opened, and Machiko looked in first: "There's no demon hiding in here."
Naoki looked up and pointed: "Isn't there one right here?"
A little green devil was hanging on the top of the elevator like a bat. Although it was not big, you could see it as soon as you looked up.
"Hey, I found you, come down quickly."
As Naoki spoke, the little green devil also flew down. It had a pair of wings and was much smaller than the red devil, only the size of a mouse.
"Hehehe, you found me. What can I do? But if you want to get the token, you have to beat me in the game."
Just like what the red devil said, Naoki touched his chin and said, "Okay, let's play rock-paper-scissors."
"Ah, I don't want to play that boring thing."
The green demon immediately rejected Naoki's proposal, and judging from his tone, he seemed to be more negotiable than the red demon.
Naoki narrowed his eyes and said, "If you're talking about who can fly higher, I won't agree. After all, I don't have wings."
The rules of the game with the devil cannot be unilaterally set by the devil to be completely beneficial to it, otherwise the player has no hope of winning at all.
Real gambling must have an even probability of winning or losing.
"I know you're a human. Let's play a simple game. It doesn't matter if you can't fly."
"what game?"
"A flying cat."
Three question marks popped up in Naoki's head.
"It's actually a horse racing game. I have a few flying cats here, and we're going to bet on which one can fly higher and faster."
The green devil took out a cat doll, and the cat he had molded suddenly grew wings. The green devil rode on it and began to fly upwards. When he reached the top, he slowly glided down.
Naoki:……
She can't even ride a horse, let alone a cat.
Besides, considering her size compared to the size of this demon, her cat couldn't possibly fly very fast.
"This game is unfair. You're so light, and if I ride on you, the cat won't be able to fly at all."
The green devil chuckled and said, "I didn't say I'd let you ride it."
"Look, there are five cats here. I've randomly injected air into them, and they can fly automatically from now on. All you have to do is choose the cat that flies to the top the fastest and then comes down."
"To be fair, I'll let you choose first."
Naoki fell into deep thought. All the props were prepared by the green devil. She really couldn't believe that there was no trick.
After all, as long as the green devil does something, it will definitely know which cat is the strongest and flies the fastest.
It only has a one-fifth chance of being selected, and if it doesn't, it can choose the fastest one. Even though it seems to have the first move, the chance of winning is only one-fifth.
However, it seems that the rules of the game can only go so far.
Igarashi Qinghua pulled Naoki, and obviously thought that this gamble was very feasible.
Naoki asked, "Oh, such a simple game, what happens if I lose?"
"If you lose, stay here and play with me. I won't kill you, but I will turn you into a little devil too."
The green demon flew in a circle around Naoki, "You're very much in line with my feelings. I promise, I won't kill you even if you lose."
"Actually, many demons are transformed from humans. There's nothing wrong with being a demon. You can even have superpowers."
The little green devil blinked his eyes and tried to seduce Naoki.
Naoki felt something was amiss. Why did this little green devil want to recruit him into the group so much?
then……
【System, scan the other party's information. 】
System: Scan Results [Low-level demon, female, abilities: flight, wall-penetration, invisibility]
Hey, the other party can actually become invisible. Then why did I see it as soon as I entered the elevator? If it was invisible and didn't make any sound, I shouldn't be able to see it.
Naoki, read it again, and then...
"Uh, female? Why do you emphasize this? Could it be..."
Naoki continued to look down and discovered that the little green devil actually had an initial favorable impression of him of 20 points. No wonder—its attitude was so good. Just now, it deliberately let him see it, just to play a game with him.
You have to know that Igarashi Qinghua only has a 23-point favorable impression of me now.
Case solved.
Could it be that charm also works on people of different races?
Chapter 133: Victory and plunder, Naoki successfully whitewashes himself.
Although the green-skinned demon in front of him has a high degree of favorability towards him, it does not mean that it will not harm him.
In other words, it is precisely because it has a high degree of favorability towards itself that it is more likely to use tricks to make itself lose and stay here.
"You prepared this thing. I don't even know if you tampered with it. It's too unfair to gamble with you directly."
Naoki shook his head and turned around as if to leave.
Seeing this, the green devil finally relented and flew over with his wings flapping: "Hey, hey, hey, don't go. Let me modify the gameplay a little bit."
It pulled out a few marble-like objects and said, "These are energy beads that charge the flying cat. Each additional marble you add will make the cat fly faster. You can throw a maximum of three marbles per cat, and three is already the maximum speed. There are ten energy beads in total. I'll randomly drop them on the cats, and the other cat can choose the one that flies the fastest."
Naoki stopped. She did not overestimate her favorability towards the green-skinned demon. If it was any other demon, they might have really let her go. After all, players always have to play games with them to win.
In fact, the initiative lies in the hands of these demons. However, charm is an ability that can cause people to lose their minds, and demons are no exception.
The revised rules seem much fairer.
Naoki said, "Then I'll add another rule. Both parties take turns choosing, and the one with two wins first wins."
"no problem."
The green-skinned little devil agreed readily.
Naoki tried throwing marbles to the cat, and it was like winding a spring. The more marbles he threw, the faster the cat flew.
So, this game began to become a game of guessing which cat the other person would throw the marble into.
"Then I'll go first."
The green-skinned little devil took cat No. 1 and fiddled with it in front of him. Because the entrance for the cat to throw marbles was at the back, Naoki couldn't see whether it threw marbles or how many marbles it threw.
Not long after, the green devil put down cat No. 1, and then cats No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 held them in their hands for a particularly long time, as if they were throwing a lot of marbles. However, this could also be acting.
As for the last cat, No. 5, he only held it in his hand for a few seconds before putting it down.
"Okay, I've laid them all out, you choose."
Naoki scratched his temple. "Does putting them all in place mean that every cat has at least one marble?"
Seeing that Naoki was trying to find a flaw in his words, the green-skinned devil smiled and said, "I won't tell you."
"Well, I guess number 2."
The expression on the green-skinned demon's face froze instantly. No, it had just performed so many shows, holding cat No. 4 for a long time, and only holding cat No. 5 for a few seconds. Why could it guess so casually that it was No. 2?
Under normal circumstances, you would either suspect number 4, or conversely suspect number 5, who has the least time.
"You've made up your mind so quickly, don't you want to think about it again?"
"Ah, for things like this, I can't see which cat you put the most, so I just made a random guess."
Having said that, all my efforts in acting were wasted. Is the girl in front of me such a naive person?
Naoki pressed the switch on Cat No. 1's back.
The cat didn't react at all, and obviously, none of the marbles went in.
"Not number 1, that's great."
Machiko behind him was glad that Naoki did not choose the wrong number one.
But will it really be number two?
Naoki flipped the switch on number two and the cat took flight.
The timer recorded the time it took the cat to reach the top: 3.3 seconds.
