Anime Crossover: Post-Apocalyptic Survival, My Stand is the World

His gaze passed over the spiky-haired boy whose eyes had been reignited with the flames of war, and landed on the petite figure in his arms who seemed not to be fully awake yet, rubbing her eyes.

He was referring to white.

"……Um."

Bai Fa let out a soft, nasal voice like a cat.

Her sleepy, crimson eyes still held a hint of confusion, as if she had just woken up.

She rubbed her eyes, snuggled her head against her brother's chest, seemingly still savoring the brief but peaceful sleep she had just had.

Kong affectionately patted her head and whispered something in her ear.

Bai nodded and jumped down from her brother's thin but incredibly reliable embrace.

With her bare, snow-white feet, she walked step by step to the slot machine, which was much taller than herself.

She looked up at the three huge rollers, the images of Pac-Man and Sonic the Hedgehog reflecting a strange light in her pupils.

Then, she stretched out her tiny hand, which looked as if it would break at the slightest touch, and gently placed it on the cold joystick.

Pull.

slam-la-

Accompanied by the mechanical sound of countless gold coins colliding, three huge rollers began to spin rapidly.

Countless symbols filled with anime elements transformed into blurry streams of light before everyone's eyes, like rivers of fate that had been stirred up.

Everyone's eyes were involuntarily drawn to the spinning roller.

Finally, accompanied by three crisp "click! click! click!" positioning sounds, the roller slowly stopped, freezing on a set of unrelated patterns.

Pac-Man - Golden Ring - Pac-Man.

failure.

A fairly ordinary, even somewhat unusual, result.

Bai didn't react at all. She just silently retreated, snuggled back into her brother's arms, and closed her eyes again, as if she wasn't the one who had just pulled the lever.

"Okay, it's your turn."

Kong gestured for him to enter, a mischievous smile on his face, like a cat watching a mouse.

Yukino Yukinoshita and Utaha Kasumigaoka exchanged a glance.

They each went up and drew a prize, but unsurprisingly, neither of them won the grand prize.

Yukino was the first to step forward. Without the slightest hesitation, she decisively pulled down the lever.

The roller spun rapidly until it finally stopped.

[Cherry] - [Cherry] - [Blank]

Shiyu followed closely behind. She also casually pulled the joystick.

The rollers are spinning rapidly.

[Golden Ring] - [Blank] - [Pac-Man].

The two didn't pay attention; it seemed unrealistic to win on the first try, and...

There are four patterns on the rollers of this machine: Pac-Man, Gold Ring, Cherry, and Blank.

The probability of rolling three blank reels independently is 1/4 cubed (bjdc), which is 1/64.

The probability is quite low. However, we have four people on our side, giving us four chances.

They only had two people and two chances.

In terms of expected probability per round, our advantage is twice that of theirs.

Given enough rounds, the scales of victory will theoretically tip in our favor.

But would such shrewd people make such a foolish decision to play such a disadvantageous game?

Seeing the two of them looking so serious, Yui felt a little uneasy and stepped forward to shake them.

Nobody had any hope for her, and she herself didn't think she could win the grand prize. But Lady Luck just unfairly favored this silly girl.

Crash!

This time, the sound of the rollers spinning seemed louder and longer than ever before!

Everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Yukino and Utaha looked serious. They didn't believe Yui could pull off a miracle; they just hoped she wouldn't get a particularly bad result.

Sora and Shiro remained expressionless, but the playful smile on Sora's lips seemed to have deepened.

Su Chen, on the other hand, had a look of anticipation on his face. He always felt that at times like these, such naturally naive characters would often trigger a passive skill called "protagonist halo".

really--

click!

The first scroll stopped—[Blank]!

"Oh!" Yui exclaimed in surprise.

click!

The second scroll stopped—[Blank]!

"Oh, oh, oh!" Yui's eyes lit up instantly, and she started jumping around excitedly.

Yukino and Utaha's expressions changed from serious to astonished.

click!

The third reel, after a violent shaking, accompanied by a burst of electronic music that reverberated throughout the venue like winning the lottery, came to a steady stop on the symbol full of infinite possibilities—[blank]!

[Blank]-[Blank]-[Blank].

Congratulations!

A golden beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping Yui and the slot machine! Countless virtual ribbons and fireworks bloomed in the air!

The first grand prize winner has been identified!

"Wow! I won! I won! Xiaoxue! Shiyu! Su Chen! I won!"

Yui was like a child who had won the lottery, jumping and waving excitedly at everyone.

Everyone on the field was shocked.

Yukino and Utaha were momentarily stunned by what they saw.

Is this what they mean by "fools have good fortune"?

"Holy crap! She actually got pregnant?" Su Chen was also incredulous.

'Has this pink-haired bun's luck stat been maxed out? No wonder she's the woman who could compete with Yukino for Hachiman's affections; her luck is terrifying!'

Suddenly, the balance of victory seemed to have dramatically shifted in Su Chen's favor.

The score is now 1 to 0.

Just two more rolls and this seemingly complicated betting game will end easily.

"Yay!" Yui ran back, excitedly high-fiving Yukino and Utaha, then proudly puffed out her chest. "How about that? I'm awesome, right!"

The seriousness on Yukino and Utaha's faces lessened considerably, replaced by a wry smile. Perhaps... they were overthinking it? Maybe [Blank] really just wanted to play a pure game of luck this time?

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.

Apart from emptiness and white.

If Yukino and the others had looked closely at Sora's expression at that moment, they would have seen a cold smile on Sora's face.

It was as if the prey had fallen into a trap carefully prepared by the hunter.

Unfortunately, in the face of joy, people often overlook some crucial details, and these details can lead them into the abyss.

"Alright, alright, Yui is the best." Su Chen smiled and ruffled the pink-haired bun's head, eliciting a comfortable hum from the latter.

Then, he turned around and met Kong's gaze.

"It's my turn now."

"Please go ahead," Kong said with a smile.

He stepped forward, started drawing lots, and spun the slot machine a few times.

Cherry - Golden Ring - Pac-Man

The same result as Bai.

"Oh dear, Su Chen, you're having a bad time."

Yui said with some regret, but quickly patted her huge, heaving breasts, and assured Su Chen confidently, "It's okay! Su Chen! There's always next time! Next time I'll definitely help you win the grand prize!"

Su Chen's gaze lingered on that astonishing curve for 0.5 seconds without his noticing, then quickly looked away, just in time to meet Kong's eyes.

A knowing smile appeared between the two older men.

Next up was Kong's turn, who simply pressed the button casually.

Boom!

[Blank] - [Blank] - [Blank]

The second grand prize has been awarded to Kong!

Yui immediately stopped smiling. Yukino and Utaha also frowned for a moment, but they weren't too worried. After all, it was only the first time, and they still had the advantage.

It's impossible that Sora and Shiro were both so lucky as to win the grand prize!

However, what they didn't know was that what happened next would plunge them into despair.

It was Bai's turn to draw prizes again, and like Kong, Bai simply flicked the slot machine casually.

[Blank] - [Blank] - [Blank]

Another blank prize! The third grand prize winner has appeared.

Yukino and the others finally felt relieved; they began to realize that something was wrong.

Shiyu suddenly noticed Sora's eyes. From beginning to end, there was no joy or excitement in them. Whether it was Yui winning the lottery or him and Shiro winning the lottery, his expression did not change in the slightest!

How could someone not have any emotional fluctuations when they created two miracles in a gamble where they risked their life and fortune?

unless...

Unless, of course, he knew from the beginning that they would win the grand prize.

Buhou, there's something wrong with this game.

We need to tell the others right away.

She turned her head sharply, wanting to tell the invincible-looking man about this terrifying discovery that could turn the tide of the battle as soon as possible.

however--

The moment her lips parted, that voice, which controlled the entire scene like a demon king, rang out again with an undeniable hint of mockery.

"Next person's turn!"

Kong's voice wasn't loud, but it was like an invisible command, precisely interrupting Shi Yu's words that were about to come out.

His gaze swept across the crowd and landed on the girl with long, straight black hair and an icy expression.

It's Yukino's turn.

Upon hearing this death knell, Yukino's body stiffened slightly.

But she still moved.

She slowly, step by step, walked towards the slot machine that flashed with colorful neon lights.

This time is different from the last.

Her once light, breezy steps became unusually heavy.
