Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Yes, Arya was taken inside as well.

　Although they were pitiful, helpless, and half-forced to go in... after all, the passage in Li Township didn't look like a safe place.

　Aria seems like a pretty good person. I feel like she could be recruited into Lixiang and become a great and glorious magical girl.

　Thinking about it this way, Cong Yu suddenly realized something.

　If knowledge and skills had levels...

　So what level of "modification surgery" would it be to enable someone to master magic and become an immortal magical girl or monster?

　S-rank? Or SSS-rank?

　No, that level should be "Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Level".

　If this technology leaves the Li village and is exposed, it might...

　It will become something that the entire universe will go crazy for.

　As Cong Yu sat in one corner of the huge hall, casually pondering these thoughts, someone suddenly spoke up.

　"Ah...you are that...god of fate, aren't you?"

　The one speaking was a blue-skinned woman with two heads; the one speaking at this moment was the one on the left: "We all saw it."

　"Saw it" probably refers to the game in which Cong Yu fired more than 30 shots to kill his opponent in roulette, while he himself missed every single shot.

　However, what the other party said made Cong Yu feel a bit nauseous...

　"The God of Destiny? Why do you call me that?"

　Cong Yu asked the other party without any politeness, his gaze sweeping between the other party's two heads, wondering what kind of strange race the other party was.

　Moreover, Cong Yu felt like she had seen someone with a similar setup before... Was it in some game?

　Before Cong Yu could recall, the woman on the right spoke up: "The screen in the hall will occasionally play excellent gambling games from outside."

　"We and the other players analyzed your bet from every angle, but we still couldn't figure out how you did it."

　After her right head finished speaking, her left head nodded and added, "Well, in the end... everyone can only believe that what you said is true."

　"You might actually be able to see the existence of 'fate,' and perhaps even manipulate the 'echoes' of luck and destiny."

　"So we call you the 'God of Destiny,' is there anything wrong with that title?"

　Cong Yu opened her mouth in response to what the other person said, looked around, and realized that she was indeed attracting a lot of attention.

　Perhaps because of his outrageous expressions, he has become a "celebrity gambler," similar to a "celebrity player."

　As for the nickname "God of Destiny"...

　"No, there's nothing wrong with it."

　As Cong Yu spoke, he didn't know whether he should give a bitter smile or make some kind of expression... Damn it, why is Moirai still chasing me?

　Reflecting on how the name so evoked images of Moirai's rain, I suddenly realized something—

　I and humanity may live in Moira's shadow for the rest of our lives... because that guy is really strong.

　As the strongest opponent I've ever faced, you were truly remarkable, Moilei. I'll never forget you for the rest of my life...

　Cong Yu thought to herself, squinting lazily at the painting in front of her seat... The painting depicted a rather pretty alien plant.

　Cong Yu couldn't see what was so good about it, but the composition was indeed quite beautiful.

　Then, at this moment, the two-headed alien sitting next to Cong Yu continued to talk to her: "So, can your race really control fate? Or is luck something that really exists?"

　The other person's left side of their head seemed to be asking this question, while their right hand quickly smacked the left side of their own head.

　"Ouch..."

　Amidst the groan of pain from the left side of the other person's head, the right side immediately grumbled, "Don't ask people these kinds of questions! It might be their trump card, really..."

　However, Cong Yu was never stingy with his answers, and he casually said, "Yes, I was very lucky."

　"But it's not just good luck..."

　Cong Yu spoke with a straight face, telling lies to show he wasn't stingy with his answers, but that didn't mean he would tell the truth.

　"I can feel the weight of the gun and hear the subtle turning of the machine in front of me and the sound of loading, thus judging the pattern and sequence of the bullets."

　As he spoke of things he could actually do, Cong Yu continued his nonsense, ignoring the two-headed woman's shocked expression—

　"Moreover, the strength of our race's skin and skull is not weak... a little bit stronger than that of normal people."

　After making a "pinch" gesture with his thumb and forefinger, Congyu ended Xia Jiba's boasting: "But in the end, he didn't give the opponent a chance to fire, so he was lucky every time he reloaded."

　The onlookers were quite amazed by Cong Yu's words.

　Can this contestant even feel the slightest rotation of the machine and the weight of the gun?

　He's practically a favorite to win the championship...

　A formidable foe!

　With this in mind, everyone silently regarded Cong Yu as a formidable opponent, and secretly chuckled to themselves...

　Despite being a formidable opponent with such incredible luck, they failed to conceal their strengths and instead exposed all their advantages.

　We might get targeted later...

　You're still too young!

　……

　While everyone was talking, the hall's loudspeaker began to broadcast the current situation—

　[Attention all players, 10,000 people have gathered. Leaving the casino without special circumstances will be considered a forfeit. The first round of the game is about to begin.]

　[Please find a seat as soon as possible. This game is not related to seating arrangements; it is only for distributing items for the first round of the game.]

　[Players who fail to find a seat before the time limit expires will be considered to have forfeited. The game rules will now be announced.]

　[1. After the game starts, each player will receive 3 coins. After two hours, the player who collects 15 coins will advance.]

　Upon hearing this, Cong Yu immediately laughed.

　Okay, okay, the first game is an octagon match, right... That's awesome, he went on a killing spree right away!

　miss you

　Upon arriving here, he, who was already seated, immediately looked at everyone around him with the eyes of someone eyeing prey.

　Snatch four people directly, then advance quickly!

　Those around Cong Yu suddenly felt a chill run down their spines, sensing a profound sense of threat.

　But the broadcast wasn't over yet—

　[2. Physical conflict and any attempt to harm or interfere with other players' normal gameplay are not permitted in this game.]

　"..." Haha, then it's alright.

　Let's all have fun playing games together!

　Chapter 948 Unnecessary Cooperation...?

　[1. After the game starts, each player will receive 3 coins. After two hours, the player who collects 15 coins will advance.]

　[2. Physical conflict and any attempt to harm or interfere with other players' normal gameplay are not permitted in this game.]

　3. Coins can only be obtained through the following methods:

　[(3.1) Only three coins were distributed by the staff... This was the initial capital.]

　[(3.2) Issue a betting request to other players, using a finger-guessing (rock-paper-scissors) game to determine the winner in one round. Both players must give the same number of coins as much as possible, and the winner gets the coin chips... This is called luck.]

　[Note: Contestants must accept the first ten betting invitations; they may refuse the eleventh betting invitation.]

　[(3.3) Receiving coins as gifts from other players is permitted. Note that on-the-spot transactions using credits or similar methods are not allowed. Violators will be disqualified, and the coins will be invalidated. However, off-site transactions are permitted... This is credit.]

　[(3.4) Purchase from the casino; one coin costs 100 million credits, with no limit on the number that can be purchased... This is confidence.]

　[4. Players will not be immediately eliminated once their coin count reaches zero. They can acquire more coins through the methods described above.]

　[5. The time limit is two hours. The results will be calculated immediately after two hours, and the winner will advance to the second round.]

　6. Any coins a player possesses after advancing will be bought back by the casino for 500,000 credits.

　[7. The final interpretation of the game and selection process rests with Flip Star Royal Casino. Please enjoy the game.]

　After the announcement, Cong Yu remained silent. Meanwhile, the numerous gamblers who had already found seats around them were buzzing with discussion.

　However, Cong Yu didn't think there was anything to discuss.

　After all, the essence of this game has already been explained clearly in the broadcast... to put it bluntly, it's still a preliminary selection process.

　However, the unexpected reality is...

　Either you have plenty of money to buy coins to pass the level, or you are a genuine lucky gambler who wins someone else's coins, or you have a lot of influence or eloquence to persuade (or trick) others into handing over their coins to you.

　You only need to get 15 coins within four hours; any excess will be converted into a large amount of credits.

　To be honest, if it were just a simple game of rock-paper-scissors, Cong Yu would be 100% certain of winning every time.

　After all, there exists something like the "rock-paper-scissors robot" that can judge the opponent's actions in 0.01 seconds and counter them.

　Cong Yu was also confident that her reaction ability was no weaker than that of the rock-paper-scissors robot, and that she could change her move in the most natural way when she threw a punch.

　So that the other party would be completely unaware of their presence.

　Unfortunately, if the other party has similar thoughts, then the two will probably quickly switch between rock and paper.

　The end result was a very awkward scene.

　However, some parts of the rules are quite strange...

　Thinking of this, Cong Yu rested his chin on his hand and watched as countless staff members began distributing coins to the contestants. He then looked at the blue two-headed woman beside him.

　"I'm saying... how about we do some mutual trust-boosting?"

　As Cong Yu spoke, amidst the other party's astonishment, he lowered his voice and said, "I'm not sure how many credits you have, or if you have enough to get coins from the casino."

　"But assuming you have enough coins, it would be terrible to be chosen as the opponent for rock-paper-scissors when you have fourteen or fifteen coins in your hand..."

　After all, it's hard to refuse being the one to play rock-paper-scissors for the first ten rounds.

　Cong Yu, having explained the pros and cons so simply, accepted three coins from the casino staff.

　All three coins are hot-stamped with the words "Royal Casino Flip Star" and patterns.

　After thanking the staff with a smile, Cong Yu glanced at the thoughtful person and said with a smile, "So, if we mutually complete the designated target ten times, there's no need to worry about anything else."

　What Cong Yu said wasn't complicated; it was clearly written in the rules, and anyone present could understand it if they thought about it for a while.

　But Cong Yu said it directly, which made him seem very honest... or perhaps he had some deep ulterior motive.

　And the two-headed ogre...

　Ahem, a two-headed, blue-skinned woman. The left head is still pondering these questions, while the right head is holding a coin and thinking about something.

　Finally, the one on the right whispered to Cong Yu, "How can I trust you? How do I know you won't cheat me out of my coin and run away?"

　Cong Yu did not respond to the other party's questions.

　He explained, but only gave a gentle smile.

　"First of all, we only need one coin to swipe each other, not three, and the coins aren't actually worth much, are they?"

　"It only costs one million credits to buy."

　Even if I lied to you...

　As Cong Yu said this, she looked at the three coins that had been distributed in the other person's right hand... Sure enough, they were only counted as one person.

　With this in mind, Cong Yu continued, "Even if I lied to you, I would only have lost a single coin."

　"Whether I'm lying or not, you'll gain a sense of security. If I am lying, you'll have the certainty of 'Ah, this guy is a fraud,' and then you won't need to hesitate about whether I'm worth cooperating with."

　"And it would be even better if I hadn't lied to you, because you would have gained the peace of mind that you could rest easy as long as you bought 13 coins."

　"Instead of buying fifteen coins and constantly worrying about being designated as a target for looting later on."

　"..." It's clearly a strange statement, but if you accept this man's cooperation and gather at his feet... you might actually feel at ease.

　For some reason, the two-headed, blue-skinned sisters suddenly had this feeling. They glanced at each other, and then...

　The head on the right spoke up, agreeing with Cong Yu's plan: "Okay, your thinking is very quick."
