NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

Rosanna: "..."

Looking at the holes in the artificial turf that Tia had stepped on, the seemingly carefree but actually shrewd godmother could easily guess that the other party was Niki.

Are all these women this direct?

In comparison, does it seem like I'm the one who's awkward and reserved?

or……

Should she just drug this man and have sex with him today?

Chapter 222 The True Carnivore

Rosanna, who was at the gambling table, ultimately decided not to drug the lieutenant that day.

She was, after all, Hedonia's godmother, and her style was a blend of madness and reason. Rosanna knew very well that she alone could not defeat the four Nikis behind the man.

I can find an excuse to ask the lieutenant out alone another day, and then enjoy myself properly.

"Let's begin, sir."

The woman, holding the dice cup, placed it over the five dice and moved it back and forth three times before confidently saying:

"Sir, you are a guest. Please order first."

Logically speaking, Rosanna's behavior of only shaking the dice cup a few times is not in accordance with the rules; shaking it three times is a cheater's method and hint to another cheater.

But Phoenix didn't understand, and Rosanna herself thought the lieutenant who cheated was an expert.

Thus, by a twist of fate, neither of them questioned the other, nor did the other offer an explanation, and both parties tacitly accepted the legitimacy of their actions.

Hua la la la——

Compared to Rosanna's skillful three-way shaking, Phoenix, who only wanted to test the waters in the first round, was much more straightforward. He covered the dice cup and shook it vigorously, a display that left the underworld queen stunned.

What kind of cheating technique is this? How come she's never seen it before?

Phoenix, after shaking the dice, didn't stand on ceremony. After glancing at the numbers in the dice, he immediately chose the classic starting hand.

"Three sixes."

Meanwhile, Rosanna, who was holding a straight flush in her hand, was a little confused after witnessing the lieutenant's "green player" appearance and cheating.

The game involves guessing the total number of points in both players' dice cups. Each player's announced point must be higher than the previous player's.

For example, if Phoenix calls out "three sixes", six is ​​the highest possible number, so Rosanna must call out four dice or more.

Of course, she can also directly request to open the dice. If the sum of the ten dice for both sides is not three sixes, then Phoenix, who is the one whose dice are opened, will naturally be considered the loser.

"open."

The woman, without opening the dice cup to check the numbers, directly opened the lieutenant's cup, causing the man whose cup was opened to blink in surprise.

All three sixes are in??

Phoenix didn't understand. Generally speaking, in a game of ten dice for two people, calling out three numbers is just a formality. There are only two possibilities for why Rosanna would dare to open her cup directly in this situation.

The first possibility is that she doesn't have six.

The second possibility is that she's actually a novice...

"I have a straight, sir, do you have three sixes?"

Before Phoenix could finish pondering, the woman who hadn't opened the dice cup since the beginning smiled, first stating her dice roll, and then raising her hand to open the cup to show her roll.

——2、3、4、5、6，顺子。

According to the rules of the outer zone, straights do not count points.

The lieutenant only has two sixes in his hand, and his opponent's straight doesn't count points, so there are less than three sixes on the table.

In other words, Rosanna successfully broke the curse.

0:1

Phoenix: "..."

This woman's dice-rolling skills seem to allow her to control the numbers; you're unlikely to win.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, Anik shrugged in a human-like manner and said:

My limited data storage space cannot accommodate such a complex and useless data model.

The dice cup fits the table very well, so you can't see inside.

Without enough data, I can't calculate the points she has; I can only roll the dice for you. You and she still need to engage in a psychological game.

Hua la la la——

The sound of the dice hitting the dice cup rang out again. Lieutenant Phoenix, who had rarely failed, followed suit this time and shook the dice cup only three times. With Anick's help, he successfully rolled five fives.

"Sir, please." The woman generously continued to give the man the right to call out the order.

The man, still unceremoniously, ordered again, saying:

"Three sixes."

Rosanna's smile grew even brighter, even carrying a strange hint of doting affection.

What an indomitable man! That's great. It makes conquering him more interesting, and he's a better match for his godmother.

"Four sixes."

The woman calmly agreed, while the man deliberately feigned hesitation, pondered for a moment, and then cautiously added a few points.

"Five sixes."

Rosanna: "Six."

With a decisive tone, a nonchalant expression, and a fixed gaze, Phoenix politely opened the cup as the underworld queen called out six dice.

— Five fives.

There were five dice left, but the rolls had already reached six sixes, so there was no need for Rosanna to open the cup to verify her rolls. The lieutenant's victory in this round was already a foregone conclusion.

1:1

Upon realizing she had been tricked, the woman was not angry at all; instead, she excitedly licked her lips with the tip of her tongue.

"continue."

……

……

Best of seven games, that's a number of rounds that could easily fill an afternoon in many gambling games.

For example, if you ask four people to play seven rounds of mahjong without moving, it's not just a matter of skill, but also a matter of whose bladder is the best.

However, guessing the number of points is an anomaly in gambling; even if you play seven rounds, it will only take a maximum of ten or twenty minutes.

Therefore, before the onlookers could even gather, the bet between Phoenix and Rosanna reached a thrilling 3-3.

It must be said that the game mechanism inherently stimulates the human brain. What started as a casual game between the two players became completely immersed in the thrilling wager after six rounds of scheming and intrigue.

Just like snipers in video games, almost everyone can resist the temptation of a mid-lane sniper duel.

"Would you like to add to your bet, sir?"

Rosanna, holding the dice cup in her right hand, leaned forward and beckoned to the lieutenant with her left hand, her expression a mix of provocation and teasing.

Phoenix, however, displayed astonishing willpower at this moment. Even though he was fully focused on the betting game, his mind was not distracted by the stakes.

"Four sixes."

The lieutenant calmly shouted out a point that was full of malice.

Four sixes is a rather troublesome number for cheating games because revealing the dice would be very dangerous, and if the dice are not revealed, the next player would be forced to start calling from five dice.

However, apart from Phoenix and Anick, no one knew that the lieutenant's dice showed a straight.

He was willing to accept the challenge if Rosanna dared to continue. He didn't believe she had chosen another grand slam of a certain number of points...

Just like Rosanna, who also had a straight, the woman didn't believe the lieutenant would have a grand slam of five sixes.

The difficulty lies here: she herself has no points to draw, and the lieutenant is almost certainly not a perfect scorer. Combined, these two factors make Rosanna acutely aware of her predicament; no matter how many points she adds, the man across the table will definitely open her trap.

Unexpectedly, the straight she held blocked her own escape route.

"Heh, it seems we've been pushed to the edge by the master."

Then Herdonia's godmother stood up, dragged the dice cup, strolled over to the lieutenant's side, sat on the edge of the table, and smiled:

"Anyway, no matter what points I call, the sir will open it, right?"

As soon as the woman finished speaking, Phoenix, sensing something was wrong, blinked nervously.

Oh no... she's going to go all out...

"Open it, sir."

Just as the lieutenant's internal alarm bells were ringing, Rosanna had already raised her hand and lifted the dice cup, exposing her score to everyone's view.

——2、3、4、5、6，顺子。

Then, Her Majesty the Queen reached out and suddenly touched the lieutenant's dice cup.
