Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　But as long as the trust is strong enough, it is possible to start reaping the benefits.

　Of course, if your luck is really bad and you lose four in a row, losing all 36 coins... then there's nothing more to say.

　Those who grasp the art of "harvesting" and begin harvesting others become the lucky ones who were originally the prey.

　"The first game at this casino was quite a surprise... It would be too boring to just consider 'gambling skills'."

　As she spoke, Cong Yu fiddled with the fifty coins in her hand, crossed her legs, and looked at Lan Zuo and Lan You beside her, who were holding twenty coins.

　What to say?

　This is what a proper "selection of a casino heir" game should be like, rather than simply choosing a gambling expert.

　"..." The two sisters' gazes were focused on the container of coins spinning in Cong Yu's hand. Lan You opened her mouth: "Ah...surprised?"

　Lan Zuo nodded in agreement with her sister's words, and couldn't help but say, "For us sisters, it should be called 'shock'."

　Blue Left and Blue Right only know how to play cards, compare numbers, guess suits, and other gambling games... This level of first game is terrifying.

　However, the two made their decision almost instantly—

　"Anyway, my sister and I will listen to you from now on... if there are opportunities to cooperate in future games."

　As Lan You said this, he decided to become Cong Yu's loyal...dog!

　(Yao Chuanguang:???)

　Lan Zuo completely agreed with her sister's point of view, saying, "Mmm, from now on, if you tell us to go left, we'll never go right. If you tell us to sleep, we'll never open our eyes. If you tell us to take a bath, we'll never... poop!"

　"..." That's so vulgar!

　Cong Yu thought to herself, then glanced at Lan You, who was sighing and had a "I'm used to it" look on his face... before looking at the still lively venue.

　If Cong Yu was the first to realize the importance of accumulation and harvest, then the second person to realize the standard answer was only a few minutes later than Cong Yu.

　The other party, however, seemed to have no concept of stopping. With their rampant exploitation, their principal continued to increase until they had plundered hundreds of coins.

　This forced most of the retail investors to quickly realize the truth, and they formed a shield for each other by banding together and mutually boosting their trust.

　Of course, there are also those who wander among countless players, taking advantage of the "mutual trust" opportunity to continuously scam one coin after another.

　Subsequently, following several of the first batch of harvesters, dozens of the second batch, and hundreds of the third batch…

　The fourth group of harvesters tried to enter the casino by buying coins, only to find that the cake had already been eaten.

　After that, all they could do was swallow their pride and return the coins to the casino to recoup a small portion of their losses...

　Interestingly, some people who lacked sufficient capital but wanted to become harvesters failed to build a "shield" and were harvested by the earlier harvesters who had accumulated enough capital... They really lost everything.

　Meanwhile, Cong Yu, Lan Zuo, and Lan You sat in the best seats, quietly observing the various scenes unfolding in the casino.

　"Hahaha……"

　See something interesting

　Wherever he was, Cong Yu would even burst into laughter... and the happier he was, the more frightened Lan Zuo and Lan You became.

　That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying.

　The more afraid they were, the more at ease they felt...

　It's great that we were able to cooperate with him from the start, so we don't have to worry about becoming a stray dog ​​on the roadside later in the game.

　And at this very moment, two hours later...

　The four-hour game session has finally come to an end.

　[All players, please stop playing immediately. All betting is now terminated. Please find a seat.]

　Hearing the announcement over the loudspeaker, most of the contestants sat down. Some were beaming with pride after their victory, while others looked utterly dejected.

　It's worth mentioning that some people sat on the ground, looking dazed and dejected. Because they hadn't sat down, they were dragged away by drones.

　All I can say is that it really does resemble a stray dog.

　Then, a drone approached in front of each seat.

　[Please hand over the silver coins you are holding to the drone and open the terminal page to wait for the transfer.]

　[Contestants who did not advance, please leave with the drone.]

　"..." Cong Yu looked at the extra 17 million credit points in her account and didn't say anything. She just watched as countless people slunk away from the venue.

　Lan Zuo and Lan You looked at the venue, which had suddenly become much quieter, and were in a daze that the two of them could actually advance.

　Then, both sisters became curious about how many people were left on the field... It seemed like there were far fewer.

　I don't know if half of what's left is still there.

　"Boss! How many players do you think are left?"

　Cong Yu mentally complained about Lan Zuo's strange form of address while casually guessing, "Hard to say."

　"Without the 'purchase' mechanism, this game would probably only have about 2000 players left."

　"But after all, many people chose to buy enough coins to advance when the time was almost up."

　"Judging from how empty it is, it's about half the size, so it's roughly five thousand people... four thousand people?"

　The moment Cong Yu's guess faded, the broadcast announced the next step: [Number of remaining contestants: 4351]

　This number is roughly the same as Cong Yu's guess.

　So, it seems we'll need another round of games to filter them out...

　As Cong Yu was thinking this...

　[Attention all contestants, please stand up.]

　The second game will begin after the rules have been read.

　The game's title is: "Eliminate 351 People."

　There are no rules.

　[It is feasible to entice or persuade other contestants to withdraw, and it is also feasible to beat them to the point that they are unable to sit down.]

　Let's fight like wild beasts...

　【Games start. 】

　"..." Upon hearing this, someone moved and immediately rushed towards the thin-looking person next to them!

　Exclamations and sounds of attack became the dominant theme here.

　Lan Zuo and Lan You immediately looked at Cong Yu, and then...

　He stood in front of Cong Yu.

　"Boss! Stand behind me!"

　"Yes, my sister and I are pretty good at fighting."

　They said this...

　A very difficult decision (laughs)

　Were you startled by the title?

　Miscellaneous fish, miscellaneous fish—

　What I wanted to say was about the bounty; I've already paid off the extra chapters I was owed for the bounty (laughs).

　The last time we talked about bounties was at the end of Volume 1 (or rather, the beginning of Volume 2).

　Well, I feel so relaxed now—

　Now it's time to get back to the happy two-night routine—

　o（*≧▽≦）ツ……

　That's what I say, but I'll still try to update as much as possible, maybe three updates a day, and occasionally a big update.

　Furthermore, considering that it would be unfair to readers who had previously given rewards if I were to add more chapters before the reward amount was reached, it would be better to cancel the reward altogether.

　From this day forward, I will become a person with initiative (referring to extra chapters). I will not stop updating due to fatigue, nor will I take leave due to illness… a great! Correct! Admired Lord Crescent Moon Madman!

　Although I don't usually take breaks or call in sick.

　……

　Reader A: You're making it sound so real, like you thanked us for our donations when you added extra chapters for the reward.

　Reader B: That's what I mean—

　Reader C: Hehe, it's the eaves.

　……

　What?! How could this be?! Lord Crescent Moon Madman is furious!

　!

　Chapter 951 He wanted to unleash a whirlwind slash in the middle of the arena.

　It's worth mentioning that although the whole place was in chaos, not many people had actually started taking action.

　Well, the "action" referred to here means people who physically attack others... there are probably only thirty or forty of them.

　Most people simply started thinking.

　Just like Cong Yu, we need to consider whether this kind of "pure force" selection is truly necessary...

　Or is this really just a game of pure force?

　If we consider this "grand competition" as a "preliminary selection," then what kind of leader does this casino actually want?

　No, it shouldn't be called "the controller".

　Because the ones in control will never change, whether in the past or the future, they will always be those who stand behind the scenes.

　That is, the mastermind behind the game right now.

　Therefore, what should be considered is...

　These people want to select a front desk mascot with what kind of "character"... to select a "gambling icon" or "casino star".

　Gambling skills are undoubtedly important.

　Luck is the same...

　Then, the other answers become obvious.

　……

　In a flash, Cong Yu came up with an answer, but he did nothing. He simply stood quietly under the "protection" of Lan Zuo and Lan You.

　Ugh, this is so troublesome. It feels like an interview or exam... I really can't be bothered to try and figure out what other people are thinking.

　With this thought in mind, Cong Yu put her hands in her pockets, and her thoughts began to wander—

　The casino games are good, but what if...?

　Cong Yu means "if..."

　If he were to unleash a spell directly in the center of the arena and start a massacre, eliminating the other 4350 people in one fell swoop.

　How should casinos respond?

　Just as Cong Yu was thinking this, someone approached with ill intent: "Haha, it's time for me to get my revenge."

　The one saying this was the bald, bronze-skinned alien with muscular muscles who had been utterly defeated by Cong Yu and Lan Zuo and Lan You in a joint attack.

　He rubbed his hands together, grinning broadly, and said, "That's how the game is set up, so don't blame me—"

　In response, Lan Zuo and Lan You immediately adopted a fighting stance.

　However, the two didn't attack immediately. Lan Zuo glanced at Cong Yu and asked, "Boss, should I fight him? Is there something hidden behind the game rules? Will they say something like 'elimination for hitting someone' later?"

　To her younger sister, who was clearly less intelligent than her older sister, Cong Yu simply said, "No, but I don't recommend that you defeat the opponent... Instead, we need to cherish these 351 spots."

　Cong Yu's not-so-quiet words attracted the attention of everyone around, and also stunned the bronze-skinned, muscular alien.

　Because what Cong Yu said was too strange.

　What does it mean to cherish 351 people?

　Isn't it true that only after 351 people have been eliminated can the remaining people advance to the next round?
