Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　In other words, if Blue Left dies, Blue Right will die too, and vice versa.

　Cong Yu looked at the two women, who appeared to be in their early twenties, and began to hesitate about how to convert their appearances into their ages.

　But anyway, you can just judge by appearance, right?

　Although Cong Yu had learned during her time living on Magic Earth that she could no longer judge other people's ages by their appearance.

　But the aliens clearly didn't learn it.

　The muscular man grinned, revealing his large white teeth, and said, "We're about 75 years old (cosmic year)... that's about average."

　75X1.6……

　120 years (Earth year)?

　Wait a minute, the "maximum lifespan" of purebred humans seems to be around this number... The other person's age and appearance match those of Earthlings?

　Thinking this, Cong Yu began to observe the muscular man with well-defined muscles.

　Unfortunately, because of the other person's bald head and bronze skin, Cong Yu found it difficult to accurately determine their age.

　Then, Lan Zuo looked at Cong Yu curiously and asked, "Wait, what about you? Did you come to Fanfan Star with your wives and children? Are you a civilization with a very long lifespan?"

　"……"wife

　Children and kids?

　Wives are one thing, but why is there "them" too?

　Cong Yu was a little confused, but quickly realized that the other person was talking about Yao Chuan Guang and Lan Tian Zhu... The child was probably Xiao Cui.

　"Well, I guess so..."

　Cong Yu didn't bother to refute him, and then he became curious about a question: "Wait, why don't you include Aria?"

　Arya was with everyone else, so why wasn't she counted as one of his "wives"?

　Upon hearing Cong Yu's words, Lan You, who didn't understand who Ailiya was, tilted her head and guessed, "That 'Beak Mask' race? They're definitely not your race... It's not like I don't know them."

　Ah... well, it seems that Aria's race is quite easy to identify.

　In Cong Yu's mind, Lan Zuo and Lan You glanced at the bespectacled man who hadn't finished studying the star beasts yet, and asked, "What about the lifespan of your race? And how old are you this year?"

　"..." Cong Yu hesitated at Lan Zuo's words, unsure whether to say "infinite," and even more unsure how to reveal her age...

　To be honest, we'd have to say it's a negative number.

　After all, strictly speaking, I haven't even been born yet...

　Even if we only consider the years we've lived, wouldn't it be a bit too complicated to say that I've lived for over a thousand years? Cong Yu was too lazy to explain in detail, and she didn't want to be questioned for telling the truth.

　"Well, I've lived for a very long time."

　Cong Yu simply said this, then looked at the countdown timer flashing in the center of the arena and asked the bespectacled man, "So, have you come to a conclusion about who we should vote for?"

　In response to Cong Yu's words, the bespectacled man pushed up his glasses, and feeling that it was about time, he raised his head: "Choose number six."

　Number Six is ​​that colorful magical beast.

　In the words of aliens, it is a Rainbow Star Beast.

　This was somewhat unexpected for Lan Zuo and Lan You, because the danger level rating of the Rainbow Star Beast exceeded its own strength.

　It was specifically placed in this gambling game; it should have been a complete trap...

　Seeing the Blue Left and Blue Right sisters' doubts, the bespectacled man explained, "It is indeed number six, because..."

　Before he could finish speaking, Cong Yu pressed the number six on the app page and then pressed the confirm button three times.

　The man with glasses: "..."

　Being suddenly trusted like this left him speechless for a moment... To be honest, even his classmates at school had never trusted him.

　This may also be because he has no friends or anyone to talk to, and can only study the star beasts in solitude all day long.

　Lan Zuo was also somewhat surprised by Cong Yu's actions: "Eh? Boss, you're moving so fast? But it's not necessarily true that number six will win in the end..."

　Lan You immediately interrupted his sister, saying, "We can't be sure what number it is either, so let's leave it to the professionals... We are gamblers, and this is a gamblers' competition."

　That makes sense, after all, it's a gamble...

　There is no such thing as 100% luck or success in this world.

　……

　Well, except for the boss's luck.

　Lan Zuo added in his mind.

　Chapter 961 Combat Power (Fan Value) 530,000!

　Intelligent life forms have a certain affinity for "beast fighting"... This is true in every civilization and era.

　In the past, people would go to the Colosseum to watch animals fight each other or slave gladiators battle.

　Modern people also watch videos of insects fighting each other on video websites... it's actually the same thing.

　Even those who ask questions on Q&A websites, such as "Can a peak Thai fighter win against a tiger?", are also creating an environment conducive to cyber-beast combat.

　"..." The gamblers present were enjoying the spectacle, and many had already begun cheering for the star beasts they had voted for.

　Although the star beasts present are unlikely to work any harder because of this.

　Cong Yu's teammates also seemed quite excited, and as the No. 6 Star Beast gradually won the vote, everyone became more and more excited.

　But Cong Yu wasn't that interested in it.

　He simply watched silently as the ten star beasts wrestled together. Many of them were using rather crude spells to attack each other.

　Although there was a lot of bloodshed and the fighting was extremely brutal, Cong Yu felt it wasn't as interesting as the fairy battles she had witnessed in Little Green Fairy Village... No, that's not quite right.

　To be precise, the threshold for similar "combat-related stimuli" among the people of Li ethnic region today is now ridiculously high.

　Cong Yu still remembers that desperate time stop and the countless people who fought until they burned out in order to continue to have hope.

　And of course, he would not forget the three-day, three-night divine war he waged against Moiraina after he became a god.

　For Cong Yu and everyone in Lixiang Village, this kind of battle is utterly child's play...

　Perhaps someone who is already exhausted from a high-intensity job would be interested in two thugs fighting on the street.

　However, if that "job" itself involves high-intensity fighting and brutal combat... then the situation is completely different.

　If we substitute the equivalent amount, it's like someone who's spent all day grading papers, then goes home and watches a live stream... The live stream is like a battle between machines grading papers and humans grading papers.

　Hmm? This seems surprisingly interesting?

　With her thoughts wandering aimlessly, Cong Yu, feeling utterly bored, took out her phone and started chatting with everyone in Lixiang Village.

　To ensure his advancement in this round, he casually gave a buff to the number six monster in the arena that everyone had voted for... which is actually the Rainbow Beast (monster), enhancing its combat power.

　Then I started fiddling with my phone.

　The buff wasn't strong enough for Cong Yu to give that monster some kind of "invincible" or "instant kill" cheat.

　It's just that it adds "Battle Continuation" and "Slow Recovery", but that should be enough.

　The conclusion is beyond doubt—

　[Attention all contestants, the winning Star Beast is Star Beast Number Six. Scores have been tallied and rankings updated. The next Beast Betting Round will begin in 2000 seconds... Cleaning is about to commence.]

　As the announcement came over the loudspeaker, the rankings on the large screen in the center of the Colosseum began to change...

　In the first round, about 100 teams guessed correctly, and Cong Yu's team was one of them.

　"Oh, is that so? In other words, it's basically a competition of wealth... Damn rules, if I were rich and had a family, why would I be here participating in this competition?"

　Lan Zuo complained, and the bespectacled man pushed up his glasses in response to her discovery: "You're right, but that's not necessarily true."

　"Although the information provided by the casino is basically designed based on the danger level, even if you buy all the information and choose your betting animal solely based on the danger level, it doesn't necessarily guarantee advancement."

　The bespectacled man said this, and Lan You continued, "Because there are too few teams that can advance."

　"Yes, because there are too few teams that can advance. Out of 250 teams, only 25 can advance..."

　Cong Yu listened to their words and felt that she understood: "So, although the information on the star beasts purchased with credits is not very complete, the danger level shown on them can basically be used as the basis for voting on the betting beasts?"

　Lan Zuo and Lan You nodded in response to Cong Yu's question.

　Then the bespectacled man spoke up, explaining, "Yes, in other betting arenas on Flip Star, they usually choose star beasts of similar danger levels to fight... but this competition is different."

　"Previously, the star beasts varied greatly in danger level and strength; basically, either the 'Rainbow Star Beast' or the 'Predator' would win."

　"The former has a danger level of 5.7, while the latter has a danger level of 5.5."

　Hearing the bespectacled man's words, the muscular man hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and asked, "If it's only a difference of 0.2, that guy called the Hunter... has a good chance of winning, right?"

　indeed.

　"It was a gamble after all... Luckily, we made the right bet."

　The bespectacled man pushed up his glasses and added in a low voice, "Moreover, I think that individual Rainbow Star Beast is stronger than that individual Hunter... and the facts have proven that the Rainbow Star Beast's fighting spirit is terrifying."

　"Sorry, actually I was the one who added the buff," Cong Yu thought to himself. But he had no intention of taking credit, so he chose to remain silent and simply nodded to indicate that he understood. Cong Yu looked at the cleaned-up area and the new batch of star beasts being transported to the cages with their restraints on.

　Then it occurred to me...

　Actually, the casino probably made a profit from this competition... even though they roughly understood the layout of the casino's interior and designed many traps and games.

　They even consumed many rare and uncommon star beasts that Blue Left and Blue Right didn't usually see... but the casino was actually making a fortune.

　On the one hand, casinos design rules in every game such as "V me 50, prove your strength".

　Even someone who knows nothing about gambling can make up for their disadvantages with luck and credits.

　On the other hand, the casinos also receive a large sum of tips and commissions from the live streams that are currently underway.

　It's all business...

　With these thoughts in mind, Cong Yu cast her vote for Star Beast No. 1 on the terminal without hesitation, responding to the bespectacled man's words, "Vote for No. 1."

　Then, Cong Yu noticed that a drone flew above him, focusing on filming his drone... Could this be a close-up shot?

　Cong Yu thought to herself that her current popularity might not be low... at least she was in the top ten most popular contestants.

　With this in mind, Cong Yu gave the drone's camera a polite and gentle smile.

　Consider this a way of saying hello to his alien friends who are watching him now...

　-

　"Report! The server is overloaded! This is the first time since the server crashed during the first competition!"

　"Many people came straight for the drone that was filming number 1919!"

　"Report! Popularity value for No. 1919 is still rising! Two hundred thousand... three hundred thousand... five hundred and thirty thousand!!!"

　Chapter 962 Cong Yu is surprisingly bad at poker (number) games

　"It's the final round."

　"Ah."

　"..." Lan Zuo and Lan You exchanged glances, looking at the rankings on the big screen... The team with their and Cong Yu's avatars was ranked first.

　One digit is the exact number – 49, two digits – 0, three digits – 0, four digits – 0, five digits – 0.

　This means that, given the bespectacled man's professional level, Cong Yu's team's gambling skills are...

　The accuracy rate remains at 100%.

　"..." The bespectacled man pondered, crossed his arms to form a "bridge", and rested his chin on the "bridge": "I feel something is not right."

　The muscular man gave the bespectacled man a disdainful look: "You're only realizing something's wrong now?"

　The bespectacled man remained silent in response.

　To be fair, he was actually quite self-aware. Even with a major in Star Beasts, it didn't mean he could instantly discern the exact strength of those Star Beasts... there was no such thing as a specialization in betting on beasts.

　If immersing oneself in research for a long time could guarantee a 100% success rate in making money from betting on beasts, then there would be no need to open betting arenas.

　Therefore, his achievement of a 49-game winning streak and currently ranking first should indeed be attributed primarily to himself.

　Secondly...

　Some people in this team are just too lucky.

　With this thought in mind, he silently looked at Cong Yu...
