For a JK, This Is a Little Too Intense

They discovered the mouth of Giant Serpent, which looked somewhat illusory and unreal, slowly disappearing from the wall.

So...

Did the two actually emerge from the mouth of the Giant Serpent on the wall? And... what was with the grassland we saw from inside the car earlier?

Although puzzled, Zongzheng Ximei did not ask any questions.

In the time she spent with her mother, she had learned to be silent...

However, Cong Yu's explanation came quickly.

"The view you see from inside the car is 'a scenic spot somewhere in the world,' in other words... it's for sightseeing."

As she said this, Cong Yu reached out and pushed open the door in the alley, waving to the Rabbit Man whose face was full of "Why is Lady Cong Yu here again?"

Then, under the Rabbit Man's gaze, Cong Yu led in a girl who looked like a high school student...

Because of the layer of black mist wrapped around his neck, it was immediately obvious that he was a monster.

"Rabbit Man, are you guys hiring?"

Cong Yu asked this question.

"..." Upon seeing this setup, the Rabbit Man, being the chosen working man, immediately understood... they wanted her to assign tasks to the newcomers.

They are probably not newcomers who joined the group through official channels.

It was something Lord Cong Yu picked up casually by the roadside...

How could this Rabbit Man dare say he "doesn't need more people"... Even if he really didn't need more, then the place he was in charge of would definitely be short-staffed.

Moreover, there is indeed a severe shortage of people here.

We don't lack customers, we lack workers...

"We don't lack thugs or cleaners... what we lack are people to handle exchanging chips, or dealers."

The Rabbit Man answered in this way, and she sized him up.

A slightly shy, eccentric high school girl remarked, "She's probably more efficient at counting chips..."

Although Rabbit Man himself is an oddball, he has to admit it.

Eccentrics generally don't have a high level of education... especially professional eccentrics. The average level of education can be gauged by how many eccentrics have been transformed in recent times.

The more [educational resources available], the higher the average level of education.

Intellectuals like the Doctor are ultimately a minority...

So, the oddballs working here, even when asked to count chips, will take them ages to do all sorts of calculations...

"Counting chips... mathematics?"

Zongzheng Ximei to herself as she looked into the noisy casino interior... This wasn't a place for an obedient and well-behaved high school girl.

However, she was quite confident in her mental arithmetic skills.

"Then, she's yours, Rabbit Man."

As she said this, Cong Yu reached out and ruffled the Rabbit Man's ears, then, to his astonishment, waved goodbye.

Then...

Then Zongzheng Ximei grabbed the hem of her clothes.

"Um... wait, what exactly do I need to do?"

Zongzheng Ximei asked this question, she was slightly timid and shy, but with her excellent ability to read people, she could tell that the Rabbit Man was in charge here... and that Cong Yu was the Rabbit Man's superior.

Therefore, she subconsciously assumed that Cong Yu was the owner of the casino.

"Hmm... this Rabbit Man will help you get acquainted with the area and will also find someone to guide you."

Cong Yu responded in this way, then paused and smiled, "However, it's not that I can't accompany you to look around first."

Going to a casino is a bit strange, though.

"..." The Rabbit Man rubbed his ears, wondering to himself... Was Cong Yu always like this?

Why does it feel so much more welcoming now?

"Let me show you around..."

The Rabbit Man, who had volunteered, said this and immediately led the way, which attracted a group of strange underlings to watch.

The Rabbit Man nodded to Cong Yu and Zongzheng Ximei, and said, "I'll take you to see how the chips are exchanged first."

When it came to his area of expertise, the Rabbit Man seemed to become more confident, leading the way while saying, "I am the Rabbit Man, and who is this gentleman?"

In response, Zongzheng Ximei immediately bowed to the Rabbit Man: "I am Zongzheng Ximei to meet you."

"..." Use your real name... Is it okay not to use a code name?

However, the other party probably awakened on its own, rather than being modified. Therefore, there is no "prototype," which makes it indeed more difficult to come up with a nickname.

The Rabbit Man nodded, patted the other person on the shoulder, indicating that they didn't need to be so reserved. "When you officially join the organization, they will give you a code name. For now, I'll just call you by your name."

Hearing the Rabbit Man's words, Zongzheng Ximei tilted her head... because she didn't know anything about this "organization" and wasn't sure what it meant.

However, she doesn't need to know for now...

Once you join, it will become clear.

"..." Zongzheng Ximei blinked, looking at the ears dangling on the Rabbit Man's head, and then at the strange people who were curiously crowding around.

Weird people... so many weird people.

Logically speaking, Zongzheng Ximei, who had been human for a long time, should not be used to or comfortable with the scene before her.

But very surprisingly, even she herself was surprised...

Great!

Thinking this, Zongzheng Ximei, seeing the curious and scrutinizing gazes of these strange people, couldn't help but feel... quite at ease.

It feels great.

Rabbit Man glanced around at Zongzheng Ximei, noticing his eccentric underlings staring at her, and immediately snapped, "Are you all bored? If you have nothing better to do, go clean the toilets! Go away, all of you, disperse!"

Upon hearing this, the eccentric henchmen scattered in all directions.

The Rabbit Man then smiled awkwardly and apologized to Zongzheng Ximei, "Sorry, they were just too lively, it was a bit funny... But actually, they're all nice people, don't take it too seriously."

"..." To this, Zongzheng Ximei shook her head. Her eyes were clear now, without anything covering them.

Like a bygone era that exists only in memories of the past.

At that time, the fog had not yet shrouded her future, nor did the burden called dreams weigh on her.

She felt she would like it here, she would like it in this area.

It was as if she was born to belong here, as if she was born to "belong" to this side of the strange man.

The Dark Side of this world.

And this equality and freedom...

Just like before.

Chapter 229 was still too stimulating for JK.

The white chips are worth "one yuan", the red ones are worth "five yuan", the green ones are worth "twenty-five yuan", the black ones are worth "one hundred yuan", the blue ones are worth "five hundred yuan", the silver ones are worth "one thousand yuan", and the gold ones are worth "ten thousand yuan".

The Rabbit Man explained, placing chips of identical size but different denominations and colors on the table. "Each chip has an amount marked on it... ten chips per stack."

As he said this, the Rabbit Man's hand moved swiftly, easily grabbing ten stacked together from a pile of chips.

The partition is the same height as the table where the chips are counted.

This is a small design feature that makes inventory easier.

"Did you remember?"

The Rabbit Man asked this question.

Zongzheng Ximei was somewhat confused... She wasn't sure what the Rabbit Man meant. "Remember what? Isn't the amount marked?"

There's no need to remember the colors, since the numbers are all written on the chips.

"I was asking if you remember the numbers written on the chips," and it seems I do remember them now."

The Rabbit Man stood with his hands on his hips, nodding contentedly, his large white breasts bouncing slightly... but that wasn't the point.

"Pfft--"

Cong Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud, then waved her hand when the Rabbit Man looked over. "It's nothing... don't worry about it."

For some reason, Cong Yu suddenly found it very funny.

Humor analysis... The Rabbit Man's subordinates are actually this stupid; they can't even remember the numbers on the chips.

It's hilarious.

Although after analysis it seemed like a rather inexplicable joke... it was really hard for Cong Yu to keep a straight face on set.

"If someone brings money to exchange for chips, then give them the same amount in return, but make sure to check if the money is counterfeit... Understand?"

The Rabbit Man instructed, fiddling with the chips in front of him. "When customers bring chips to exchange for money, it's a 10 to 9 exchange rate. If they can't exchange all the money, give them small chips as souvenirs... Sometimes there are promotional events, and we'll let you know then."

The former is understandable; it's just a normal process of customers exchanging chips upon entering the venue. But what does the latter mean?

What does 10 to 9 mean?

Zongzheng Ximei's puzzled look prompted the Rabbit Man to immediately explain, "It's simple. Someone is bringing you a 100-yuan chip and a 25-yuan chip to exchange for cash."

"Then you can give him 120-yuan chips, that's 108 yuan. The rest can be converted into five chips for him to take home as a souvenir."

Although Zongzheng Ximei didn't quite understand what the Rabbit Man was saying, she still obediently nodded...

However, what she really wanted to ask wasn't "how to do it," but rather "why."

Cong Yu, who had been listening in, simply replied, "That's how casinos make money... Casinos provide a platform for their customers, so they need to take a commission."

As she said this, Cong Yu rested her chin on her hand and said, "This is a sure-fire way to make money... but strictly speaking, games where 'guests gamble against the casino' are not entirely impossible."

As she spoke, Cong Yu pointed to a pinball machine in the corner of the casino that didn't seem very busy. "Playing with small steel balls is... but actually, many convenience stores have them, so it's not unusual."

Indeed, in Japan, pachinko machines are legal... and many people have become addicted and gone bankrupt from playing them.

As Cong Yu spoke simply...

"No!!!"

Suddenly, one of the gamblers roared and lunged at another gambler, his eyes bloodshot and his face contorted in a ferocious expression.

His face was contorted with rage.

He, who considered himself to have excellent luck, had never lost so badly. He, who was usually invincible, had stumbled in this gamble.

"You bastard, you cheated! You cheated!!!"

While cursing, the gambler violently punched the customer he had tackled, shouting, "One million two hundred thousand! This is the money I'm saving for my wife and daughter's medical treatment!!!"

"..." He was now completely in a state of frenzy, unable to hear anything, and was frantically pushing everything around him to the ground.

The surrounding gamblers avoided him like the plague.

Soon after, several strange men who had been seen before forcefully pulled the man away and threw him out.

They helped the other customer up, apologized, and called a car to take him to the hospital.

Although the guest was bleeding from his nose, he was laughing maniacally and cheering loudly for his victory.

The playing cards hidden in his sleeve fell to the ground, but he didn't pay them any attention.

They even demanded that all the chips be redeemed before leaving...

And in response to this...

"Cheating... what is that?"

"It's cheating," Zongzheng Ximei asked curiously, while Cong Yu glanced at the seemingly naive high school girl and explained, "If you're caught red-handed, the casino will take responsibility. But if you shout like that after a game is over, or if we only find out afterward, then we're not responsible."

Cong Yu said this, watching as the mess on the ground was quickly cleaned up, restoring it to a state where nothing had happened. "Are you interested?"

"..." To this, Zongzheng Ximei blinked, looking honestly at the glittering table, and said, "Indeed a bit."

Upon hearing this, the Rabbit Man's ears twitched, as if to remind him, "Miss Zongzheng, I suggest you... perhaps it's best not to be interested."
