Himiko Toga

Oji, seemingly relegated to a corner of the casino, lacks the allure of other high-stakes games like poker and dice, appearing as a beginner's game. However, true to its name, it's a tiger capable of devouring its prey whole. →Eight→Eight Readings,↓o≥

While Oji may seem to require little money per game and have minimal operating costs, its speed of finishing a game in less than five seconds, coupled with the fact that countless machines are lined up side-by-side and require no staff operation, has made Oji the fastest way for casinos to rake in money.

Only a minority of people can win big money with a small investment; most people can make you lose everything and question the meaning of life.

"Now I'm like that old scoundrel Jonathan. Cheating is all normal for me. If I don't get caught, it's not cheating. I won this money through my own skills."

As Jilan muttered to herself, she reached down and took out a bunch of chips from the token dispenser below, instantly drawing envious glances from those around her.

Jilan started with only four chips, the minimum bet in the casino. Even if three symbols were placed side by side and multiplied 50 times, it would only amount to $5,000, which didn't attract much interest. The people around her silently prayed for the newbie's good luck and became even more engrossed in the game.

"Sir, would you like me to take it out for you?" The waiter who had served Jilan noticed the situation and politely asked Jilan, hiding his surprise.

"Thank you, sir!" Jilan stood up from the bench, not refusing the waiter's offer, and handed him a handful of chips. "Ti!"

Although Jilan knew that the chips given to the customers at the beginning were a tactic to lure them into gambling for the first time and then extract more money from him, Jilan didn't care much. After all, he had won with his initial funds, hadn't he?

The waiter handed Jilan an open box filled with chips, smiling slightly, "Thank you for your generosity, sir."

"Don't worry about it." Jilan waved her hand, smiled, pointed to the girl with the bun hairstyle at the gambling table, and asked, "Bo, do you know anything about that girl? When did she arrive? How did she manage to win so much money!"

The waiter, having received Jilan 'Jilan tip, didn't try to hide anything from her when she asked, "The girl you mentioned spent the whole day at the casino. Like you, she started by betting only $100 against others, but as you can see, she now has assets worth millions."

"Wow, that's quite an impressive girl," Jilan exclaimed in amazement.

"Sir, do you intend to gamble against her?" the waiter kindly advised. "You'd better not even think about it. Although her skills aren't exceptional, her madness and unstoppable momentum confirm that she's a born gambler!"

A born gambler? Jilan's heart skipped a beat. She scratched her head and laughed, "I was just asking. I had no such intention."

Jilan asked the waiter for a can of Coke and slowly walked towards the row of pachinko machines with colorful animations on them, which were the same as the Oji machines. Pachinko is only popular in Japan, and casinos usually don't have these machines, but it's probably because the Voyager departed from Japan that they have these machines, which are not as profitable as Oji machines.

In Japan, oji is called pachinko, but it is not very popular. What is popular in arcades is the pinball game called pachinko.

Although pachinko is a form of gambling, its audience is mostly middle-aged and elderly people, because a single marble in this game only costs 4 yen, and sometimes even 1 yen. With just 1,000 yen, you can easily spend half a day playing and while away your weekend.

Gambling and casinos are prohibited in Japan, but pachinko uses a barter system where you can exchange the marbles you win for various gifts or vouchers for other shops. Although it is considered gambling, this method is not illegal and falls under the gray market.

Although pachinko is very popular in Japan, Jilan has never played it. He doesn't usually have time to go to such places to kill time, and minors are also prohibited from entering.

"Now that I'm an old man, playing this kind of thing is quite suitable for me, right?" Jilan sat down in front of a pachinko machine. Each pachinko chip cost ten dollars. Jilan muttered that the price was too expensive as he inserted his chips.

The machine was turned on, playing the album "Loveant" by the Pantyhose Girls. Jilan, like a lecherous old man, watched the two girls' wanton dance on the pole while playing marbles.

Time passed by in a flurry of activity. Suddenly, someone jumped onto Jilan's shoulder and chuckled, "Grandpa, you're really something else! You actually enjoy watching this kind of bitch's performance."

Jilan turned her head and saw that it was the girl with the bun hairstyle who was dominating the gambling table, her canine teeth at the corner of her mouth were particularly noticeable.

Jilan glanced at her watch; it was almost 2:30, and the press conference was about to start.

Without clocks or other reference points, it's difficult for people to have the self-control to pull their attention away from the gambling table.

The girl exclaimed, "Wow, grandpa, you've earned so much money in such a short time! You're so lucky!"

Jilan looked at the countless marbles that had appeared in the center of her machine and gave a wry smile. She hadn't cheated this time; she could only say she was lucky.

But then again, why is this girl standing behind me?

"Girl, what's wrong? Did you need something?" Jilan stood up, laughing heartily. "Have you lost all your chips? Don't be shy, this is an old man's gift to you!"

As Jilan spoke, she pulled out a handful of chips from her own collection and handed them to the girl.

"Hehehe, I won't lose to anyone so easily." The girl stuck out her tongue and made a face. "Keep this money for Grandpa to retire on!"

"Hahaha!" Jilan couldn't help but laugh, and the girl laughed after saying that.

"Grandpa, if I'm not mistaken, you're here for the press conference, right?" The girl put her hands on her chest and said slyly, "I've been observing you, you know. You only came to the casino for the first time at this hour. Usually, people your age would be going to bed by now, right?"

"What a clever little one!" Jilan exclaimed, reaching out to pat the girl's head. The girl didn't refuse and chuckled.

If you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way. Jilan's originally smooth, woman-like hands were made rough by him, and his arms were also stimulated with Hamon to become thicker in a short time. No one could tell that Jilan, who now looked like an old man, was a young man. To others, the way he touched the girl's hand looked like an old man praising his granddaughter, which was very harmonious.

Suddenly, an announcement came over the loudspeaker throughout the casino.

"Distinguished guests, the press conference is about to begin. Please take your tickets and proceed to the entrance for ticket inspection. To reiterate, distinguished guests..."

The girl shook her head twice, pulling her hand away from Jilan's. She smiled and said, "Grandpa, my name is Himiko Toga came alone this time."

Jilan understood the subtext and laughed loudly, replying, "Joseph Joestar, I'm alone too."
