NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

—The War of Gold Coins.

While it's called a gaming center, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it's actually a giant, legal casino owned by Masdin.

From slot machines and pachinko to roulette and Texas Hold'em, this coin war has reserved a suicide seat for all gambling addicts.

Haig loved gambling, and especially loved playing high-stakes Texas Hold'em.

Even Miss Julie knows this, so the possibility of it being fake is very small. Therefore, Phoenix decided to try his luck in the Gold Coin Battle today.

It's not easy to come out openly and honestly. If we're lucky, we might be able to settle our accounts today.

However, to Phoenix's utter surprise, on Sunday he wanted to play a couple of rounds of Gold Coin Wars...

There's actually a queue?!

Looking at the line of four hundred gambling dogs stretching ahead, the man, who never gambled or used drugs, finally had his understanding of casinos refreshed.

……

……

What is he doing now?

"Lieutenant Phoenix is ​​currently in the 'Battle of the Coins' queue, and he's already in line fifty-fifth."

"..."

Wood's report made Ingrid's already gloomy expression even colder, and she smelled just like a replica of Yin Hua, making people feel afraid.

"Please transfer me to Mastin's side."

"Yes."

Wood, the director of the Central Security Bureau, was like a blissful employee in front of Ingrid, doing the work that should have been done by a secretary without complaint.

A dozen seconds later, the projected video flashed the face of a trendy middle-aged man in sunglasses.

"Looks like Boy has a new trend~ Am I right?"

"He went to your casino."

The strong woman didn't want to waste words, and said with a sidelong glance and annoyance, "Why don't you hurry up and send more security personnel?"

As a CEO, Ingrid's social circle included many successful people who were also gamblers. She naturally knew that gambling was a huge waste of time, and if you really started gambling, you wouldn't be able to back down for more than a few hours.

"Boy in My Coin Rush?"

As if he had heard terrible news, Mastin suddenly put his hands together, pressed them against his cheeks, and opened his mouth wide, making an exaggerated expression of horror.

“NO——!!!”

"My boy! Who taught him to 'dragged down'? (And...to go astray; to drag others down with him)"

"Isn't this casino yours?!"

Ingrid couldn't stand the casino owner's double standards and immediately hurled a curse at him.

"How dare you spout such nonsense! Instead of wasting time on this, why don't you send more men over there?!"

Actually, I'm not keen on inserting explanatory chapters into the main text because, from the reader's perspective, it can negatively impact the reading experience.

But after careful consideration, I realized that what needs to be written still needs to be written, and this chapter is not suitable to be placed in the work-related section, so it should still be inserted as needed.

This chapter modifies and explains the official settings, and it's probably quite long. It's a secondary interpretation of the rabbit sisters' character design. If you don't want to read it, you can skip it (although when I wrote this, there wasn't a new chapter updated yet, so there was no content to skip).

--------------

--------------

According to official lore, the twin sisters, Blair and Noal, are casino bunny girls who perform pole dancing. (The official intention was likely to create two bunny girl characters; Blair's personal affection storyline indicates that the only man she has ever interacted with is the Commander.)

Although the reputation of pole dancing has gradually improved in modern times (there are already international pole dancing competitions, which I watched while researching, and they are actually quite good; pole dancers have a really strong sense of physical strength and can do many incredible spinning moves).

However, it's still difficult to change most people's impression of pole dancing, which is that it's erotic, provocative, adult, and associated with the sex industry. (This was a bad influence from the United States in the 1920s.)

Especially performing pole dancing in a casino, frankly speaking, it is easy to evoke certain associations in others.

Each online novel platform has a different audience. For example, QD has a wide acceptance of the love for Cao Cao, but not many people want to be Cao Cao on Maozhan.

Therefore, I anticipate that many readers may not be able to accept the original designs of Blair and Noal. In the game, people may not feel it much (their attention is all on the character art), but when it is written into the novel, it will inevitably be described.

Therefore, I will be adjusting the settings for Bran and Noal.

In other words, Bran and Noal are pole dancing enthusiasts in private, but Noal is too shy (according to the official setting) and dares not perform pole dancing in public.

Since Bran is a sister-obsessed character (according to official settings), and Noah wouldn't jump, the daring Bran naturally wouldn't jump alone either.

The twin sisters are currently in charge of hosting and managing the Gold Coin Battle game.

For example, if someone wins a big prize or a lot of money, Blair will go up and host a celebration to liven up the atmosphere. If an employee is slacking off, Noal will step in to manage the situation and offer kind advice.

Furthermore, the clothing styles will be modified in later chapters, and the everyday work clothes will be much more conservative than the character illustrations.

As for bunny girl outfits, pole dancing, threesomes, and the like, let Phoenix unlock those.

Hopefully his kidneys can handle it (Brane is also the straightforward type).

Amen.

PS: Every time I write about Mr. Mastin's dialogue, I feel like this is the most serious and meticulous time I've ever spent learning English. Coin Rush is not my creation; it's the original English title of the game.

Chapter 132 The Newcomer Who Doesn't Follow the Rules

The line was very long.

Even with a rapid passage of two people every five seconds, Phoenix still waited a full fifteen or sixteen minutes before finally managing to stand at the entrance to the Gold Coin Battle.

"Hello, sir."

The well-dressed waiters gave the guests extremely professional and polite smiles, and even though they had been smiling for more than three hours, there was still no sign of stiffness in their smiles.

"Please allow us to scan your citizen chip."

After speaking, the waiter raised the scanner in his hand, gesturing for the customer to show the location of their citizen chip.

Phoenix didn't seem to mind, turning around and pointing to the back of the other person's neck, "Standard implantation area."

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."

The waiter politely responded and was about to point the scanner at Phoenix's nape...

suddenly!

A white figure flashed out of the open casino doors, waving enthusiastically to the waiter, "Kenlake! This is the VIP that the boss specifically asked me to serve, I'll take charge."

After saying that, the girl in the white tuxedo skipped over to Phoenix's side, put her hands behind her back, leaned forward, raised her head, and playfully showed off her little tiger teeth.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Phoenix?!"

"Uh……"

When faced with women who are overly assertive in their social skills, Phoenix's old problem began to resurface without her realizing it.

Adhering to the principle of "I can't handle straight shots, but I'm invincible when it comes to pulling," someone quickly moved half a step to the other side and carefully examined the pure white girl in front of him, who was almost colorless from head to toe.

The last time Phoenix saw Niki with her snow-white skin and vibrant energy was the last time.

Although even the venomous snake was unusually pale, she at least wore light pink clothes to cover up her overly fair skin.

And what about this girl?

The only things about her that could be described as colors were her bright golden irises and her pink lips.

Against the backdrop of a blank sheet of paper, the girl's bright eyes and lovely lips and teeth appear even more striking.

"My name is Blair~ The boss said I'll be your guide on this lucky trip, Mr. Phoenix~"

The girl squinted her eyes with a chuckle, her mischievous appearance making one want to reach out and touch the rabbit ears on her head.

It must be said that Mastin has a very good sense of fashion when it comes to young girls' clothing. He can make girls wearing tuxedos wear bunny ears and tails without creating a visual incongruity. Only this entertainment tycoon who also works as a part-time designer could come up with such an idea.

Unfortunately, when faced with a straightforward woman, Phoenix, who has always adhered to traditional male virtues, turned the tables and, under Britt's direct gaze, said with great restraint:

"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Blair."

　……

……

With the bunny girl as a guide, the Phoenix Casino, whose treatment immediately reached the level of a black card holder, naturally did not need to go through the noisy first-floor gambling hall. Instead, they turned a corner and entered the VIP passage through the side door, going directly to the third floor of the casino without any hindrance.

"Sir, you need to exchange for chips before entering this floor. How many do you plan to exchange?"

Unaware of Phoenix's financial situation and fearing to hurt his pride, Blair chose to start by quoting the lowest possible price.

“三层的话，最低面额的筹码是1000，然后是2000、5000、10000、20000……”

Just as the girl was counting the types on her fingers, Phoenix suddenly interrupted.

"Two million, one chip, do you have it?"

"what?"
