Zongman: I can modify the status bar

Although Yumeko's pupils dilated for a moment, even though she didn't understand why Haruki said such strange things, she still did as he said out of trust.

At the same time, just as Mengzi smiled and nodded at Haruki.

【Conditions fulfilled! 】

As long as the other party obeys Haruki's orders or surrenders to Haruki, the conditions will be triggered. In principle, it is the same as admitting defeat and surrendering. At this moment, Jabami Yumeko has also entered a state of submission to Haruki.

The status bar of the beautiful girl who casually scattered the money on the table after receiving it also appeared.

[Name]: Jabami Yumeko.

[Status]: Normal. "Photographic Memory" and "Perceptive Observation" are activated.

[Special Abilities]: "Photographic Memory", "Acute Observation", "Gambling State": You can enter a special state, becoming a person who has made a pact with the devil or completely becoming the devil itself, gaining more powerful abilities.

[Personal Information]: Representative of the Jabaka branch of the Hyakuku clan. Parents orphaned, but still able to afford to care for his hospitalized sister.

A mysterious and beautiful girl with long, black hair. Beneath her graceful exterior lies a strong urge and desire to gamble. She is a "gambling maniac" who becomes excited when hearing anything related to gambling. She enjoys and is intoxicated by the thrill of taking risks. Her pursuit of extreme excitement leads her to display a frenzied and cold expression.

A prodigy with gambling and swindling skills, she hates games where she's destined to win or lose. A gifted girl with a near-perfect memory and a keen eye for detail.

Looking at the various explanations that appeared before his eyes, Haruki understood that Jabami Yumeko was most likely an underdog. Although she did have some special abilities, he had already taken action, so there was no way he would stop. He just kept her as insurance.

Watching them preparing to start the next round, Haruki is always ready to help Yumeko change the cards in her hand in an instant to ensure that Yumeko will win. It is definitely not that Haruki does not trust this talented girl, but that one's own destiny should be in one's own hands!

On the other side, Saotome Meiari looked at the frantic Yumeko and didn't want to continue. After all, the pile of cash on the table was 10 million. What was the point of playing? She had already won 2 million. There was no need to continue. But Yumeko's ridicule was too sharp. In the end, Meiari couldn't help it and accepted to continue gambling.

Looking at the 10 million on the table, Mayari calmed down a little.

"Never mind. I'm going to win anyway, because out of the thirty people voting here, at least twenty-one will vote in my favor."

"Whether it's about debt relationships or positions within the class, the reasons may vary, but twenty-one of them will always try to vote in my favor."

"This time it's rock and paper, so probability-wise, that's what's in the box. There's almost no scissors, so even if Jabami Yumeko draws one, she's unlikely to be able to pull it off."

"That means I can't lose as long as I play paper! The only thing I need to worry about is that I can't draw paper."

Meiari slowly opened her eyes while thinking.

"Two pieces of cloth!" Looking at the two pieces of cloth and a rock in her hand, Mayari let out a sly smile, because this was what she thought was the most ideal hand.

"I'm sure to win, it's over now! This ten million is mine too!"

Meiari suppressed her inner excitement and said to Yumeko with a calm expression, "Have you decided which one to play? Can we start now?"

Mengzi looked at the cards in her hand with a gloomy face, and the result did not seem ideal.

"What's wrong? There are only three cards. There's no need to hesitate so much." Mayari seemed to have foreseen her victory and started to show a bad face to Yumeko.

Haruki glanced in the direction of Yumeko. Even though Yumeko covered her hands tightly, Haruki still saw it. This seemed to be the worst result. With three stones, Yumeko had completely lost the initiative. Just when Haruki was ready to use the time to help Yumeko change the cards, Yumeko spoke.

"You think I didn't notice?"

"Ah?" Mayari was stunned.

"Actually, everyone is helping Saotome-san, right?" Yumeko's pair of red eyes stared at Mayari opposite her like a poisonous snake, giving off a full sense of oppression.

The classmates who were helping Mayari around also trembled suddenly, and Yumeko had indeed discovered this with her keen observation.

"From the vote just now, it seems like not everyone, but ten people, no, if we're more thorough, maybe twenty or more, right?"

"You...what proof do you have..." Mayari gritted her teeth and wanted to refute. If she was just suspicious just now, Mayari's attitude now seemed to confirm it.

"That's a really low-brow approach. You played the same card twice in a row during a 500,000 dollar bet. So you think it's a rip-off, right?"

"Giving me a free hand when the stakes are low is too childish a trick to fool people."

"You can't fool anyone by saying you don't want to bleed a lot!"

Chapter 192: Mengzi's Victory +880 Million

"Would you please stop this unreasonable nitpicking?" Mayari frowned, her expression grave, clearly having been caught on camera. "If you're trying to get away with this gambling situation..."

"No, no, no... You misunderstood. That's not happening at all. How could I possibly ruin something so good?" Mengzi's delicate face flushed slightly, clearly already beginning to get excited. "Because, the fun starts now."

Looking at Yumeko who was gradually falling into madness, Mayari was sweating profusely. She had never seen such a guy in her life.

"What's going on? She's so calm, is she sure she can beat me?" Mayari looked at the perfect deck in her hand and gradually fell into doubt. "No, that's impossible. As long as they don't know what I'm going to do, there's no way they can be sure of winning. This crazy woman is just bluffing! Just play paper like this, and I'm sure to win!"

Meiari finally completed her anxious psychological struggle.

"Enough of the big talk? Then quickly decide which one to play!"

"Hahahahahaha..." Mengzi's unbridled laughter made Mayari's courage, which had just hardened up, soften again.

"I've already warned you."

"Are you ready?" Mayari's golden eyes widened. If she continued like this, she would be defeated by the psychological warfare. She had to end the battle quickly!

"Hmm..." Mengzi showed no emotion at all. Her long bangs covered her pair of scarlet eyes under the light from above, like a poisonous snake staring at its prey.

After waiting for such a long time, Yaohui was also fully focused, with his nerves tense and he dared not slack off for a moment, just to turn the situation of the battle around in an instant.

"Let's decide the winner!" Mayari roared, full of morale.

"rock-paper-scissors!"

"cloth?"

Seeing Mayari play a piece of paper, Yumeko confidently showed her own cards.

Jabami Yumeko: Scissors.

Meiari Saotome: Cloth.

The classroom suddenly fell silent, and the air seemed to freeze at this moment. Mayari lost.

"Scissors?!" Mayari widened her eyes as she looked at the scissors in Yumeko's hand. She sat in the chair in a daze, unable to accept this reality.

“Ohhhhhhhh…”

The students around me finally reacted and immediately started cheering.

"You're lying, this...how is this possible?" Meiari let the card slide to the ground with trembling hands.

"No matter if it's a lie or something else, please don't run away from reality." Mengzi in front of the gambling table had already returned to normal, and now looked like a lady and a gentle young lady.

"Then let's settle the account. Minus my losses, Sheng Hui, 8.8 million yen."

Before, Yumeko and Meiari each had 1.2 million chips, but Yumeko lost them all, so she was in the red with a loss of 1.2 million.

In the last round, Yumeko won 10 million. After deducting the previous 1.2 million, Mayari needs to pay 8.8 million.

Yumeko calculated every word with Mayari, but unfortunately, Mayari's mood was already as heavy as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and the voices in her ears began to become blurred.

"Why did it turn out like this... I just wanted her to take on some debt, but why did I end up losing 8.8 million yen to her? What's wrong with this girl?"

In Mayari's eyes, Yumeko had already turned into a man-eating demon, which was very terrifying.

"You will pay, right?" Seeing that Mayari didn't react, Yumeko came to her side and whispered like a ghost.

"Ha!" Looking at the scarlet eyes that suddenly came next to her, Mayari's heart stopped and cold sweat kept flowing down her smooth face.

"No...no..." Mayari's whole body was stiff, and she murmured her thoughts in a low voice.

"What?!" When Mengzi heard that this guy wanted to default on his debt, she immediately questioned him fiercely.

"Ha!" Mayari was so scared that tears came out. She had never seen such a terrifying person in her life.

With a frightened heart and trembling hands, Mayari held the table with both hands, and her lowered golden hair knocked over the chips piled on the table.

"Now... now I don't have so much money... Can you... please forgive me for a few days?" Meiari, who has always been arrogant, now lowered her head and begged the other party to be lenient with her. The classmates around her were shocked and speechless when they saw this scene.

Mengzi did not respond directly, but just looked at the other person's trembling body with great satisfaction.

Meiari lowered her head and begged the other party, gritting her teeth. A mixture of tears and sweat had already flowed down her face as she fell asleep, running across her nose and dripping onto the table drop by drop.

"Well... I've enjoyed myself today, so... I'll agree to it."

"Well, everyone! Take care."

"Starting tomorrow, I hope you can treat us as real classmates."

Mengzi packed up the money and disappeared into the sunset with Haruki, leaving the students in the classroom looking incredulous.

Mengzi and Haruki walked home one after the other, without saying a word.

"Yumeko? Don't you have anything to say?" Haruki couldn't help it.

"Eh? No, does Brother Hui have anything to say? If it was a car, it was me who told him not to come. I think the scenery in the evening is very nice. Isn't it romantic to just take a walk and enjoy the sunset?" Mengzi stopped and said to Haruki behind her with a smile.

"No, that's not what I meant. Well, never mind. Just tell me how you discovered her method. Anyway, I didn't see it."

"Ha, so that's it. It's very simple. I knew right from the start that Saotome was manipulating the votes, so I just needed to know which type of votes would get more votes." Yumeko continued to stroll forward.

"Well, but even if you knew that..."

"Let's say there are twenty more people who share Saotome's heritage. If these twenty people vote differently, then there's no way they could cheat. But from what I've observed, there's no regular pattern to voting."

"So it was very difficult to remember the order in which to vote, which meant that the votes were decided on the spot."

"But what are they supposed to do?"

"I was observing until all the votes were used up, and Saotome didn't make any moves like giving instructions."

"So, what about the sound? No, I didn't hear it either."

"Then there's only one possibility left: someone among the teachers is giving orders to everyone on Saotome-san's behalf!"

"If that's correct, everyone's realization should be concentrated on a specific person."

"As I continued to observe, I suddenly realized that even though I was the one gambling, everyone's attention was focused on me! But this idea was the root of the problem."

"Because they weren't focusing their attention on themselves, but on the person behind me."

Chapter 193 Color Changing Pantyhose

"You even know this?" Haruki was also very shocked by Yumeko's explanation.

"The rest is easy. I made some inferences based on the actions of your little brother."

"His actions, were he competing right behind you? And I didn't see you looking back or anything like that?" Haruki had been observing everyone's movements, including Yumeko. If Yumeko had any special actions, he wouldn't have been unaware of it.

"That's right! But after all, a small mirror is a must-have for girls." Mengzi took out a mirror, and Haruki's figure was reflected in the mirror.

"Is that so? That's really amazing, worthy of you..." Haruki was convinced. It turned out that she had received professional training. Haruki could never have imagined such a thing.

"But, speaking of it, he started doing squats halfway through helping. Brother Hui, do you know what happened?" Mengzi suddenly turned around and stood in front of Haruki.

"Uh... yes, it was me. I also noticed that this guy's behavior was a bit strange, so I used a little trick on him." Haruki explained while looking at the girl with long black hair in front of him.

"Is that so? Well, I have to thank Brother Hui for his assistance, haha."

"It's nothing, but the cards before the last round were not used up, so even if he didn't take action, it wouldn't have any impact." Haruki said modestly.

"Ah! By the way, speaking of which, I was really unlucky with the cards in the last round. All three cards were the same. I almost lost..." Mengzi turned back and continued to walk slowly forward.

"Hmm? So that's why you came here to put pressure on her before the start and throw her off balance, right?"

"Well... it's a secret..." Mengzi turned her head and put her index finger to her mouth and made a "hush" gesture to Haruki.

Seeing that Yumeko didn't want to talk anymore, Haruki felt that what he was saying was a bit ignorant. She must have known that Haruki helped Yumeko change the cards, but she didn't seem to want to expose it now.

There was no conversation along the way, and the two finally returned home before the sun set.

The servants at home had already prepared dinner. Mengzi and Haruki changed into home clothes and went to the kitchen to eat.

Looking at the various delicious foods on the table, Haruki was so moved. This was finally a good life.

With an excited heart and trembling hands, it’s time to start eating and drinking.

Unexpectedly, my hand trembled and the fork fell to the ground.

It turns out that Haruki has always used chopsticks, so he is not used to using a knife and fork here.

Because Mengzi likes quietness, the servants in the house usually leave the villa after completing their work and return to the place nearby that is specially used for their rest to wait on call. They will only come over when Mengzi needs them.

It was now quiet meal time, so the servants left after making the basic preparations, leaving only Haruki and Yumeko in the huge kitchen.

Just as Haruki bent down to pick up the fork on the ground, he saw a pair of black tights under the short skirt across the table.
