Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Calling it a "quota" is too strange.

　Cong Yu casually answered, saying, "The answer is... the second game is a continuation of the result of the first game."

　"Those who amassed a large amount of silver coins in the first round of the game, those who brazenly displayed the attitude of 'Ah, I'm a clever person!'..."

　"These people will probably be able to handle the game easily in the future... while these 351 people are to give opportunities to those other than these people."

　As Cong Yu spoke, those around him unconsciously began to listen quietly to his story.

　Even those who had already started fighting stopped what they were doing.

　"If we were to divide our 'wisdom' into three levels from highest to lowest... I would consider myself to be in the second level, while they would be in the third."

　Cong Yu spoke quietly, expressing her speculation with a calm and collected demeanor. Lan Zuo and Lan You, on the other hand, seemed quite... displeased at being relegated to the third tier.

　What?! You completely agree?!

　After glancing at the self-aware Lan Zuo and Lan You sisters, Cong Yu continued, "The one who performed best in the first game can obviously be considered the highest tier..."

　Of course, there are also those who are intelligent but don't perform exceptionally well... These people know how to hide their talents, so they pass the test.

　One of the objectives, or even the primary objective, of the second game was to eliminate those who were too greedy.

　Casinos don't need people like that.

　Cong Yu mentally added something he wouldn't say aloud, then continued, following his previous statement: "The most outstanding people in this group."

　"In other words, the person who amassed tens of millions of credits in the first game will likely be able to completely crush us in the subsequent games."

　"Those in the 'second group' of intelligence are able to recognize that this second game presents the best opportunity to eliminate the smartest individuals."

　"so……"

　As Cong Yu spoke, he glanced around at the people and then said with a smile, "The optimal solution is to unite and eliminate those who earned 'hundreds of coins' in the first round."

　"..." Everyone understood what Cong Yu meant, but clearly... some people noticed other problems.

　"Your wisdom lies in the second batch?"

　一

　A male alien wearing optical glasses looked at Cong Yu suspiciously and said something that was hard to tell whether it was a compliment or a dig at her: "I don't believe it."

　Even the bronze-skinned alien looked on with disbelief.

　Others might not realize it, but he understood it very well: "You were one of the first to notice the 'accumulation' and 'mutual boosting' practices, right?"

　As he said this, the muscular alien squinted his eyes: "He just didn't try to earn other people's coins... wait, on purpose?"

　Suddenly realizing something, the muscular alien jumped back comically and assumed a defensive stance towards Cong Yu: "What?!"

　"You didn't even anticipate the second round, which is why you held back in the first round, did you? That's terrifying! You have to be eliminated immediately!"

　His voice was loud, so many people in the distance looked in that direction... but because they hadn't heard the preceding text, they didn't know what had happened.

　These people simply took a serious and earnest note of Cong Yu and Lan Zuo and Lan You's faces, paying only a little attention to them.

　In response to the other party's words, Cong Yu waved his hand: "No, no, no, I'm just lazy... This is the absolute truth."

　"Besides, what I'm saying is just my guess. Perhaps there are many ways to find out the purpose of this game's selection process?"

　"For example, let us take this opportunity to form small groups and test our ability to cooperate on the fly and our personal charisma... or something like that?"

　As she said this, Cong Yu smiled and reached out her hand to the muscular alien, which made him even more wary.

　But Cong Yu didn't do anything; he simply spread his hands, inviting him and the others: "Everyone, shall we cooperate?"

　I don't know why...

　The muscular alien had an inexplicable urge to agree.

　While he hesitated...

　"Haha, there's no point in saying more! According to your own logic, a smart person like you must be eliminated right now!"

　A muscular fighter, nearly two meters tall, launched an attack towards Cong Yu.

　Lan Zuo and Lan You immediately stood in front of Cong Yu, while the people around them and the muscular man hesitated whether to express their opinions at this moment.

　but……

　"boom!!!!"

　Almost instantly, Cong Yu placed her hand on the head of the tall alien, slamming its head against the wall.

　At the same time, a huge sound was made, and a large dent appeared in the wall... The person's hands and feet were hanging down.

　"..." In the surrounding silence, Cong Yu released his grip on the other person's head, and with a "thump," the unconscious "corpse" fell to the ground.

　Then, everyone stared in disbelief at Cong Yu, who was the size of a teenager, their eyes fixed on his speechless face.

　"That's enough. We're all gamblers, so be more careful... Or are we going to gamble? Are you betting on whether you can eliminate me, or whether I'll eliminate you?"

　Cong Yu said this.

　Chapter 952 Liver Emperor Cong Yu

　[Attention all players, 351 players have been eliminated. Please stop what you are doing and proceed to the second floor of the casino.]

　The rules for the third round of the game will be explained on the second floor.

　"..." After the announcement and the drones dragged away countless unconscious players, the second round of the game came to an end.

　Six thousand people were quickly eliminated from the ten thousand applicants.

　There are 4,000 people left.

　Cong Yu and Lan Zuo and Lan You are currently two of these four thousand people... If we consider the sisters as the same individual, then there is nothing wrong with what we are saying.

　Those eliminated in the second round were basically the ones who made a fortune in the first round... By the way, it seems quite a few people were beaten half to death, and might have died if they hadn't been rescued in time.

　With this in mind, Cong Yu also understood the necessity of signing the "life-or-death agreement" before the start of the competition.

　However, for others, it was a "potential death sentence." But for Cong Yu, it was the privilege of "being able to kill people!"... It just goes to show that he wasn't actually that good at using his brain.

　If it weren't some gambling tournament, but rather a Super Octagon, then he could immediately unleash a Hallelujah whirlwind.

　Thinking about this, Cong Yu felt a little sentimental as she walked upstairs... But it's quite interesting to occasionally engage in a battle of wits.

　In fact, Cong Yu quite enjoys playing puzzle games.

　Games like "horror puzzle" and "escape room" can actually be quite fun to play occasionally...

　As Cong Yu was thinking this, Lan Zuo and Lan You, who were standing next to him, asked, "Is the next game some kind of betting contest between two opponents?"

　Although the Lan Zuo and Lan You sisters have the same voice, Cong Yu is certain that it is the Lan You sister who is speaking right now...

　Because the girl on the left isn't smart enough to say something so clever.

　"Probably... Either they'll split into groups, or they'll play against each other in pairs."

　Cong Yu didn't respond with certainty, but he knew that Lan You's guess was probably correct...

　To exclude the number of players, it means that the following game is one that is easier to play in terms of "whole numbers".

　That is, they have been grouped.

　Hopefully it won't be some kind of asymmetric confrontation.

　Cong Yu has always felt that asymmetrical competitive games are quite strange.

　Jue's competitive games... I can't say they're bad, it's just that he doesn't like them.

　With this in mind, Cong Yu and the gamblers who were constantly discussing, speculating, and forming temporary teams arrived at the second floor.

　This proves that quite a few gamblers have thought of something similar to Blue Right's idea... which is to form teams.

　Then, as the group, accompanied by numerous drones, stepped onto the second floor, what finally appeared before them was a genuine casino.

　Various card tables, dealers, slot machine-like machines, and many gambling games unique to the interstellar era.

　The colorful lights shining here give the place a "glitz and glamour" feel.

　Seeing this scene, many gamblers breathed a sigh of relief and showed even more confident expressions.

　As one of the ten thousand Super Gamblers selected from the entire Flip Star, each of them has made a name for themselves.

　The prerequisite for making a name for themselves in their respective places was obviously their gambling skills, and those present were naturally very confident in their gambling skills.

　"Hmph, it seems we've come to the part that we sisters excel at."

　Lan Zuo spoke up, nodding confidently, and said, "Sister guessed wrong, it's not a team game..."

　In response to her statement, the broadcast quickly announced the rules—

　[Attention all players, the third round of the game is about to begin. Please pay attention to the rules announcement.]

　[1. All equipment and games on site are permitted for use, and the rules of all games are no different from those of commonly recognized gambling games.]

　(1.1) Includes Starry Sky Poker and its derivative games, such as comparing sizes, coin pushers, and space gambling machines...

　[(1.2) It also naturally needs to abide by the most basic order and rules, just like a typical casino, so physical harm is not allowed.]

　[2. This game only allows players to gamble against each other's casino representatives at each game table; gambling between players is not permitted.]

　3. Players must team up in pairs for this game. Please apply for and confirm your team formation on the "Tournament APP". Players who fail to form a team after the team formation deadline will be randomly matched.

　5. The chips used in this game are "virtual credits," which are different from official credits.

　6. Each team will be given 1000 million virtual credits as initial funds.

　7. Team members will share virtual credits, which will be used as chips in any bet within the game.

　8. Virtual credits can be traded privately, and players can transfer funds between each other without needing teammates' permission.

　[Note: A 1:1 ratio of credits to transactions is recommended.]

　[9. Twenty-four hours after the start of the game, the top 500 teams with the highest total funds out of the 2,000 teams will advance.]

　(9.1) Teams that reach zero virtual credits will be immediately eliminated. If 500 teams remain after elimination, those 500 teams will automatically advance.

　[10. Food needs to be requested from staff, and the rest rooms are located on the third floor. You can go to the designated room number according to the prompts on the competition APP.]

　[These rules are now complete. The final interpretation rights belong to the Flip Star Royal Casino. Game name: Twenty-Four Hours Endurance Gamble.]

　[Let's begin.]

　"..." The moment the rules were announced, everyone immediately fell into a noisy discussion and search for teammates.

　The screen also displays the remaining time for the collaboration...

　That was a fairly ample amount of time.

　Cong Yu, on the other hand, was thinking about the rules and wasn't worried about his teammates.

　A gambling game that lasts forty-eight hours... Is that right?

　Cong Yu quickly analyzed the details of the rules. Lan Zuo and Lan You immediately looked at Cong Yu, their clever leader.

　"Boss, what are the rules this time?"

　Regarding Lan Zuo's question, Cong Yu recalled the rules that had no traps at all. He paused and said, "Cooperation and betrayal?"

　The only noteworthy aspect is the interplay between cooperation and betrayal.

　Either of the two members of a team can easily find other teams and sell their "virtual credits".

　This allows you to directly earn a large amount of credits that you can actually use outside; that's pretty much it.

　But that's not the key point.

　As Cong Yu was thinking this, Lan You's words immediately followed: "But that's not the key point... This time it really is a game that tests gambling skills."

　Yes, it's not just about gambling skills, but also patience.

　Just as the radio said, this "big gamble" will last a full 48 hours, so without a doubt...

　The less you sleep, the more advantageous it is.

　In other words, it will be a test for your "liver".

　Sorry, in this respect, Cong Yu, being an eccentric, is...

　Thinking this, Cong Yu smiled, but...

　"Haha, sorry! In this regard, we sisters of the Blue Fat Clan can take turns sleeping and resting!"

　Lan Zuo laughed heartily, pumping her fist with confidence in her eyes: "Boss, the three of us are no match for you! How could you possibly withstand a single blow?!"
