NIKKE, Swordmaster Ark Succubus Daily

Little Red Riding Hood felt a pang of sadness; she couldn't understand why Niki, who had once fought for humanity, was so unpopular on the Ark.

Li Zuoyi explained some details about the welcoming gestures to them and had them demonstrate them a few more times. Finding the effect not very good, he finally suggested that they consider canceling them.

"Didn't you come here to enjoy yourself?" Little Red Riding Hood tugged at Li Zuoyi's sleeve and whispered.

“It’s working hours now,” Li Zuoyi said, looking at her. “You can’t enjoy yourself until work is over.”

This personality... Little Red Riding Hood thinks he's a bit like her boyfriend.

129. Lucky Rabbit

After that, Noah and Blair introduced the Gold Coin War to Li Zuoyi.

Roulette, Blackjack, Texas Hold'em...

The chips used for betting are bought with money, but the proportion of chips that can be exchanged for money is quite high, and there is a limit on the amount each person can spend per day, so at least one bet won't bankrupt someone.

The chips you win can be used to exchange for some valuable gifts.

It can be considered a small bet for fun.

However, Li Zuo doesn't like gambling, whether it's big or small, because...

"Blackjack?"

Li Zuoyi saw that White Rabbit Blair was holding a deck of cards next to the card table, and she was shuffling the cards quite smoothly, with the cards flying around in her hands.

“Yes!” Blair placed the shuffled deck of cards on the table. “I think it would be good to try one of the games.”

"but……"

“If you win, you can choose any prize from the Coin Battle prize pool to take home!” Brand said. “This is permitted by President Mustin!”

"What if we lose?" Li Zuoyi looked at the huge prize pool in the center of the gold coin battle, which contained everything from ordinary tissues to expensive watches and jewelry.

"Of course, there will be no punishment." Black Rabbit Noal served Li Zuoyi some food and drinks.

“But if we win, our wages will double,” Bran said with a smile. “So we’ll play seriously and won’t go easy on you.”

"How thoughtful." Li Zuo smiled.

"Can I check the cards and the table?" Little Red Riding Hood stepped forward and said to Li Zuoyi, "To prevent the other side from cheating."

Back when Little Red Riding Hood was still on the streets, she saw all sorts of cheating methods.

"Although I don't care, what if the guests discover I'm cheating..."

“It’s alright, they’ll never find out…” White Rabbit Blair blurted out a secret and immediately covered her mouth.

Black Rabbit Noal also looked like something terrible had happened, and hurriedly looked at Li Zuoyi.

"Hey—are you really cheating?" Little Red Riding Hood had a "I've got you caught" look on her face.

"Actually, it shouldn't be considered cheating..." Black Rabbit Noal hesitated before continuing.

"I don't believe it!"

Feeling she had caught someone red-handed, Little Red Riding Hood excitedly darted to the other side of the card table, inspecting everything on it, from the playing cards to even lifting the placemat.

They found nothing, and Little Red Riding Hood was so anxious she scratched her head in frustration.

“You won’t be able to detect it, because these things haven’t been tampered with,” Bran said with a hint of smugness.

“Because our methods aren’t about these physical things,” Noal added.

"What is that?" Li Zuoyi asked.

Bran and Noal exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Thanks to Noal (Bran)'s luck in our 777 Lucky Squad!"

After saying that, the two of them put their hands on their heads and made a rabbit gesture, which was quite cute.

"Luck?" Little Red Riding Hood couldn't help but laugh, and stood next to Li Zuoyi: "Then let me, the God of Gambling, have a go at you."

Bran and Noal looked at Li Zuoyi, seeking his consent.

Li Zuoyi found it quite interesting and nodded in agreement.

“Then, this side will be the dealer.” Blair reached for the cards, but Little Red Riding Hood slammed them onto the table and reached for them.

"But let me shuffle the cards." Little Red Riding Hood smiled confidently and began to shuffle the cards in various ways.

“Sure.” White Rabbit Blanc didn’t mind.

"Don't lose too badly." Li Zuo opened his mouth to eat the snack that Black Rabbit Noal fed him, and wrote a comment in his notebook that the service was quite attentive.

Little Red Riding Hood slammed the shuffled cards on the table, her expression arrogant: "Heh heh, the God of Gamblers has never lost."

……

"Ahhhh, gambling, the god of gambling has never lost!" Little Red Riding Hood lay on the table, her face buried in her arms, pounding the table incessantly.

She looked up at Blair across from her and said, "One more round, I'm sure I can win!"

It's not that I'm addicted, it's just that I made such a grand boast just now, and it would be too embarrassing to back down now.

At least, at least win one game...

“The chips you lost could buy a house in a slightly remote part of Ark.” Li Zuoyi looked at the mountain of chips next to Bran and said, “I’m so glad I brought you here now, and I even told you to talk less.”

Little Red Riding Hood whistled, her enthusiasm waning, and she became too embarrassed to say anything more.

However, Li Zuoyi also realized that the bunny girl sisters' abilities might really just be super luck.

If only we could have a pair of lucky rabbits like that at the outpost...

"Would the guests like to continue playing?" Blair puffed out her chest and asked with a hint of pride.

“I’m a little curious how long your luck will last,” Li Zuoyi said.

Brandt even closed his eyes to feel it carefully, and said, "It didn't consume much energy. I can still play a hundred games with the guests without any problem."

“Here we go.” Li Zuo pushed the cards to Bran’er, indicating that he would not cheat.

"Thank you for doubling our wages, sir! Next time you come to Gold Coin Battle, Noal and I will provide you with special service!"

"Thank you, thank you." Noal was also very happy.

"It's good to be confident in your abilities, but don't get too excited too soon," Li Zuo said with a meaningful smile, making a tower-like gesture with one hand.

Blair picked up the cards and shuffled them a few times, but some creased cards fell out.

That card was in Little Red Riding Hood's hand, which means...

"You cheated but still couldn't beat them?" Li Zuoyi looked at Little Red Riding Hood, who was blushing with embarrassment.

And don't use the body of a rabbi to do such things.

"Well, in the last round... I'm sorry, I really wanted to get my revenge!" Little Red Riding Hood bowed her head and apologized.

"At least it's better to cover it up a bit," Li Zuoyi sighed.

"Haha, I forgot..."

Fortunately, Blair and Noal didn't seem to mind. They simply switched to a different deck of cards, redistributed the chips, and continued the game.

"Blackjack," Li Zuoyi said before Blair dealt the cards.

"What are you talking about?" Little Red Riding Hood asked, puzzled.

“I’m saying I’ll get blackjack this time,” Li Zuoyi said.

"Haha, are you a prophet?" Little Red Riding Hood was amused.

“No, I’m stating the facts.” Li Zuoyi focused intently on the table.

Blair smiled and then began dealing cards to her guest and herself, two cards each.

The guest is the player, and all cards must be revealed. The guest has the Ace of Spades and the 3 of Hearts. According to the rule that the Ace can be counted as one point or eleven points, the guest's current maximum score is fourteen.

Blair was the dealer. One of her two cards had to be placed face down on the table. She looked at it and saw that it was the Ace of Diamonds and the 9 of Clubs, totaling twenty points. She chose to place the Jack of Clubs, which was dealt later, face down on the table.

If the guest wants to win, they need to reach blackjack to beat her.

Li Zuoyi tapped the table, signaling Blair to deal the cards.

It is a 5 of diamonds.

At this point, Li Zuoyi's score had reached nineteen points.

"That's about enough, isn't it?" Little Red Riding Hood advised him.

Only a 2 can save him now, otherwise any other number will cause his hand to be overwhelmed.

Li Zuoyi ignored her and continued to tap the table to signal Blair to deal the cards.

A five of spades slid down in front of him.

"Just as I expected!" Little Red Riding Hood covered her face.

If a player loses, the banker automatically wins.

Noal moved all the chips he had placed towards Blair.

"It's okay, I still have more." Li Zuoyi glanced at the chips in his hand and comforted Little Red Riding Hood.

"We might win at nineteen..." Little Red Riding Hood said regretfully.

Li Zuoyi gestured for Blair to turn over her cards.

“This is against the rules, but if you insist…” Blair turned over her cards with some difficulty.

"Um..." Little Red Riding Hood was speechless.

"I can only win or draw if I get blackjack," Li Zuoyi said with a smile, looking at the two lucky rabbit sisters in front of him.

130. I want you

The second game,

Blair has 19 points, Li Zuoyi has 24 points, a bust, the dealer wins.

The third game,

Blair Blackjack, the house wins outright.

The fourth game,

Blair has 13 points, Li Zuoyi has 23 points, a bust, the dealer wins.

……

As game after game went by, Little Red Riding Hood watched with amusement, wondering why he always seemed to be thinking of churning out his cards.

Even though he didn't have many chips left, he kept asking for cards, as if he absolutely had to win at blackjack.

There were several times when I felt the odds of winning were particularly high. As long as he was willing to play it safe, he had at least a 70-80% chance of winning.

But he still chose to draw cards, and unsurprisingly busted.

Little Red Riding Hood scratched the back of her head, chuckling and sighing. Why hadn't she encountered such a sucker before?

"There's no punishment for losing, just treat it as a game." Li Zuoyi tapped the table and asked for another card.

He now has a total of 23 points in his hand, and he's busted again.

Black Rabbit Noal was somewhat embarrassed as he pushed the guests' chips towards Blair.

This guest was, after all, an opening guest invited by the president, and he was quite famous in Ark; I could see news about him all the time on my phone recently.

If we upset him, and he says something ambiguous, it could negatively impact the newly opened Gold Coin War.

Black Rabbit Noal originally wanted to give his sister a wink, at least to let the guest win a round, but when he looked at Bran, he found her face was serious and beads of sweat were already hanging on her smooth forehead.

“Brand…” Black Rabbit Noal suddenly felt dizzy and had to hold onto the card table to keep her balance.

Noal, being a sister herself, could sense Bran's condition.

The situation is... Brendan's lucky energy is running low.

When Bran played cards with Niki, a guest, earlier, he was quite at ease, and his luck energy wasn't depleted much after two rounds.

But how come it's being consumed so quickly now?

It's a new game.
