Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　After praising Cong Yu's rapid analysis of the rules, she pressed her hand to her chest—

　"Let me introduce myself. My name is Lan You, and my sister's name is Lan Zuo... Please treat us as separate individuals."

　Your names are so casual.

　Cong Yu thought to herself, but maintained a smile on her face: "My name is Cong Yu, so let's cooperate like this—"

　In response, Lan Zuo and Lan You nodded, their two heads speaking in reply.

　"Cong Yu... I understand."

　"No problem! Let's get started!"

　-

　[Ding! Player 1145 has accepted ten betting invitations and is no longer required to accept betting invitations.]

　[Ding! Player 1919 has accepted ten betting invitations and is no longer required to accept betting invitations.]

　"..." Accompanied by the broadcast, those who had not yet thought through the rules, or were still choosing their opponents or preparing to buy coins were stunned.

　They looked at the images displayed on the large screen in the air, and then they all realized what the two people had done...

　But no one said anything.

　Because this is simply unnecessary cooperation.

　……

　Many people think so.

　Chapter 949 Spear and Shield: Accumulated Bloodshed

　Question-

　Putting aside the "technical" and "statistical" perspectives, in games like rock-paper-scissors or even coin toss, is the winning probability of either player actually 50%?

　Of course...

　Or rather, it's taken for granted.

　"But no one can win all the time."

　As Cong Yu spoke, he took a deep breath and generously shared his teachings: "No one can win forever."

　In response to Cong Yu's words, Lan Zuo immediately retorted, "Huh? Is it appropriate for someone who has won more than twenty shots in a row in roulette to say that?"

　The sharp and incisive criticism left Cong Yu speechless for a moment.

　The silent rain swirled through the crowds of people exchanging coins, gambling, trying to sell coins, and wanting to borrow coins.

　The entire venue now appears very chaotic.

　Lan You, as the older sister, immediately punched her younger sister and said, "Don't interrupt... And then what?"

　Seeing the sensible Lan You, Cong Yu smiled and continued nodding: "But what if the people betting the coin have different qualifications?"

　"If only one side has the right to initiate a challenge... what will happen then?"

　The two sisters couldn't help but start to think about what Cong Yu had said.

　Suppose that A and B each have three coins.

　Only A can challenge B...

　So A initially has four choices: not to gamble, gamble with one coin, gamble with two coins, or gamble with three coins.

　While the Lan sisters were pondering, Cong Yu had already found a lucky one: "Hello."

　With that, Cong Yu greeted the seemingly lazy person still sitting in their seat: "Want to play a game?"

　As she said this, Cong Yu showed all three coins in her hand: "I'll bet three coins."

　The man glanced at Cong Yu indifferently at her invitation and said, "Well, I can only accept, can I?"

　Despite saying this, the person wasn't nervous at all, probably because he was quite wealthy and could easily buy another fifteen coins to advance.

　A person who has absolutely no desire to win will undoubtedly lose in a game of rock-paper-scissors where the outcome is decided in one round.

　And under the drone's camera, he handed the three coins in his hand to Cong Yu, before sitting back down in his chair.

　It seems their strategy is...

　Purchase enough coins to advance before time runs out.

　A good choice.

　Lan Zuo, meanwhile, looked at Cong Yu with curiosity and followed behind him.

　"So, your plan is to use your luck to gamble?"

　That's true, but it's not just that...

　"Well...did you get the answer to my question earlier?"

　Cong Yu spoke in this voice, turning to look at the Lan sisters, Lan Zuo and Lan You: "Have you figured out that 'initiative' that 'cannot be countered,' that advantage called 'bloody accumulation'?"

　All Lan Zuo and Lan You could do was show hesitant expressions, indicating that they didn't understand what Cong Yu was talking about at all.

　"Do you civilized people always speak like you're reciting poetry, full of fancy words?"

　"..." Cong Yu smiled silently at the other party's words, casually choosing his targets, and soon he had collected 12 coins.

　After receiving several small ornaments from the waiter that could hold ten coins, Cong Yu inserted the ten coins.

　Then, Cong Yu set her sights on someone who seemed to be good at rock-paper-scissors... The other person had 18 coins.

　Throughout the chaotic casino, Cong Yu had been keeping an eye on the situation over there from the very beginning... that person was a pure gambler.

　After winning nine coins, he chose another person with nine coins as his prey and successfully won.

　but……

　Cong Yu squinted as she watched the person who had lost nine coins angrily go to exchange them, and then that "annoyance" turned into a thoughtful expression.

　Looking at the person standing still, Cong Yu couldn't help but smile and said, "Did you notice? Well, it's about to begin..."

　These words left both the left and right sides of the blue camp completely bewildered.

　But they knew they were completely confused...

　How should I put it? The two of them felt like gorillas in front of Cong Yu... after all, they, the "Blue Fat Clan," weren't exactly smart to begin with.

　Cong Yu didn't offer any explanation, but instead preemptively approached the player with 18 coins: "Hey, wanna play?"

　With that, Cong Yu took out twelve coins and looked at the alien with clearly defined muscles: "I'll bet twelve coins."

　The muscular alien smiled, his eyes gleaming with confidence: "Alright! Let's play rock-paper-scissors! But let's make it clear beforehand, you're the challenger!"

　Cong Yu: "..."

　After the opponent made their promise, the Muscle Alien undoubtedly failed, and Cong Yu now had 24 coins.

　The muscular alien then took out the remaining three coins with a displeased expression and gestured to Cong Yu: "Next, I'll challenge you!"

　In response to the other party's words, Cong Yu pointed to the screen in the sky without hesitation and said, "Sorry, I've already been challenged ten times."

　At this moment, many people have already logged off their messages on the screen, indicating that they can no longer be challenged...

　Cong Yu, Lan Zuo, and Lan You were two... three of them.

　The moment Cong Yu uttered those words, everyone—from Muscle Alien to Lan Zuo and Lan You, as well as the other contestants around them—was stunned.

　Only now did these people finally realize the significance of their initial mutual boosting... to be honest, it was a bit too late.

　Because from the very beginning, after Cong Yu and Lan Zuo and Lan You started exchanging tips, countless others thought of the same thing and followed suit.

　Of course, even without Cong Yu taking the initiative, they could have figured it out... it was just a matter of time.

　Therefore, it seems that the people gathered here are not particularly unintelligent; at least they all have their own unique skills and expertise.

　After all, they were ten thousand people who were selected.

　However, this is only the first level. The faster one can think of the second level and understand the meaning of "betting," the more money one can make...

　The faster you accumulate experience, the greater your advantage; the later you realize the importance of accumulation, the easier it is for you to be taken advantage of.

　And at this moment...

　Holding twenty-four coins, Cong Yu had already set up her "shield" and completed the construction of her "spear".

　It's time to test the sharpness of the "spear".

　Thinking this, Cong Yu took a step back and said, "Lan Zuo and Lan You, why don't you play a game with this guy?"

　In response to Cong Yu's words, Lan Zuo and Lan You, for some reason, almost without hesitation, pulled out three coins: "Okay, I'll bet with him."

　Perhaps it was because of trust, but they found themselves unconsciously choosing to listen to Cong Yu, just as it would bring them peace of mind...

　Upon hearing Lan Zuo and Lan You's invitation, the muscular alien almost immediately laughed: "Okay! My rock-paper-scissors skills are pretty good!"

　As he said this, he and the Lan sisters, Lan Zuo and Lan You, threw punches simultaneously...

　Then...

　The muscular alien won, and now he had six coins in his hand, beginning to feel joy at his victory.

　That's what makes betting so exciting.

　Blue Right: "Ah, we lost."

　Amid her sighs, the muscular alien couldn't help but chuckle smugly... Then, for some reason, the two of them simultaneously looked at Cong Yu.

　Then, the two were astonished to see the smile on Cong Yu's face.

　Cong Yu simply smiled nonchalantly and handed six coins to Lan Zuo and Lan You: "Here you go, let's gamble again—"

　Speaking so casually, Cong Yu felt no excitement about the bet at all, and even lazily found a seat nearby to sit down.

　etc.

　He shook the eighteen coins left after handing over six and said, "Relax, it's okay if you lose this bet. After all, I can give you another twelve coins."

　As she said this, Cong Yu looked at the muscular alien who was sweating profusely, and Lan Zuo and Lan You who finally realized that their intelligence was now on par with that of a certain golden-haired idiot.

　(Yaochuan Guang: That's an overreaction. I'm not actually that smart.)

　No one can win all the time.

　……

　Suppose only A can challenge B...

　A starts with 100 coins, and B starts with 3 coins. A always wants to win all of B's ​​coins.

　So, what is the probability that B, who started from scratch, has won all the coins by winning a winning streak against A, who has already "accumulated" enough?

　……

　Stop! This isn't a duel!

　Chapter 950 Cong Yu: An Approving Gaze

　To be honest, Cong Yu thinks that people haven't read enough comics about aliens using wits and strategy. After all, the rules of a casino are already very clear.

　If the previous rules were even hints...

　So, starting with "4. Players will not be immediately eliminated after their coin count reaches zero," the implication has almost become an explicit statement.

　Cong Yu could even guess what the casino's "standard strategy" would look like...

　A had 3 coins, and then went directly to the casino's exchange counter to exchange 33 million credits for another 33 coins.

　Then immediately engage in ten mutual trust transactions with someone you trust, using up all the "designated" chances you have left.

　Then, when a person has 36 coins, that person is practically invincible.

　He/She received three full periods of leniency.

　His opponent, on the other hand, needs to win four consecutive times to ensure that he won't be defeated in a series of all-in matches.

　By continuously accumulating points in this way, you can quickly earn back the points you spent on buying coins...

　This is what "harvesting" means.

　Another route that can lead to "harvesting" is through fundraising.

　It's like players using their mutual trust to replace the credits they would have used to buy initial funds from a casino.
