A cheerful song drifted over.
“Lulala lulala lulala lay, lulala lulala lay, I love dolls, I love dolls, my belly is full of dolls, yo yo yo yo, praying devoutly, I love dolls, luck is so good, yo yo yo yo, click to grab, singing and dancing…”
Jiang Li was speechless as she looked at the thousand-plus claw machines before her, all already powered up.
“Talk about shady!”
“Brother Fox, it’s 13 o’clock now. It’s my honor to meet you. Let’s start with machine No. 13.”
“Sure.” Black Fox amiably led Jiang Li to machine No. 13.
Inside machine No. 13 were all kinds of monster dolls. The dolls were baring their teeth and looking fierce, ready to give this clueless human a proper show of force.
But in the next second, they were intimidated by Black Fox’s gaze and obediently stayed put, pretending to be toy dolls.
Jiang Li pretended not to see it, pressed start, and when the timer showed 8 seconds, she hit the button quickly.
The claw firmly grabbed a hippo monster and dropped it out before the hippo monster even had time to react.
“Brother Fox, I got one! Yay!”
Holding the hippo monster, Jiang Li looked at Black Fox with a radiant smile. Ten times meant 100 gold coins.
Seeing this, Black Fox Qi Qi was happy too.
『Casino Manager Qi Qi’s favorability value toward you +10. Current favorability value: 20.』
“Shall we keep going with machine No. 13?”
Jiang Li looked at the smiling fox before her. This fox was actually pretty nice… catching a doll raised his favorability value.
Since a favorability value of 60 seemed to trigger a special scene, Jiang Li was full of energy.
Following her memory, she came to machine No. 16. It was a rabbit claw machine.
Jiang Li watched the little rabbits bouncing around inside and smiled brightly. “The little rabbits are so cute. This one it is.”
“Very well, honored guest. Everything is at your command.”
Jiang Li focused completely on the countdown on the machine, again pressing at the 8-second mark. The rabbit monster dropped out.
She placed the rabbit monster into the basket at her feet. Looking at the gold coin total under Personal Assets on the screen jump by 2,000, Jiang Li without hesitation took out 100 gold coins and handed them to Black Fox.
“Brother Fox, this is a tip for you. I’m truly honored to have the chance to come here.”
Black Fox glanced left and right, quickly stuffed the gold coins into his pocket, and beamed. “You’re far too kind. I’m Qi Qi. We have donuts here, and they suit you best. I’ll make one for you.”
『Casino Manager Qi Qi’s favorability value toward you +20. Current favorability value: 40.』
“Great, thank you, Brother Qi Qi.”
Seeing Black Fox turn and head into the back room, Jiang Li followed her memory to machine No. 35.
According to the lucky one from her previous life, he had clawed out dolls from machines No. 13, 16, 135, 347, and 687 respectively.
Jiang Li stepped forward quickly and, within 30 minutes, rapidly clawed out a crocodile doll, a bat doll, and a centipede doll.
The five monsters squeezed together in the basket, trying to break out. The moment one poked its head out, Jiang Li mercilessly pushed it back down.
One by one, they began to disappear… the crocodile doll paid out 1,800 (30 times the entrance fee), the bat doll 5,700 (40 times), and the centipede doll a whopping 228,000 (50 times).
“The confidence and domineering aura that comes naturally with the player draws everyone’s eyes. Everything is under control. Congratulations, you have obtained the title ‘God of Gamblers.’ When equipped, it grants one see-through ability per day!”
“Do you want to equip it?”
“No!”
Looking at the 114,000,000 gold coins in the top-right corner of the screen, Jiang Li felt guilty.
Sure enough, Black Fox appeared right away.
『Casino Manager Qi Qi’s favorability value toward you -50. Current favorability value: -30.』
Jiang Li looked at the donut in Black Fox’s hand. “Brother Fox, may I ask if I can get this packed to go? What you made is just too exquisite.”
『Casino Manager Qi Qi’s favorability value toward you -10. Current favorability value: -40.』
“Please call me Manager. The customer is God. I’ll pack it for you right now. Welcome back anytime!” Black Fox said with a dark expression, screaming inside over and over: leave, leave already, don’t come again.
“Thank you. I’ll help promote you a lot. This time I truly experienced fairness and justice! From now on, if anyone says even one bad thing about you, I’ll definitely talk back.” Feeling Black Fox’s emotions constantly shifting, Jiang Li said righteously.
『Casino Manager Qi Qi’s favorability value toward you +10. Current favorability value: -30.』
“Very well, respected guest. I look forward to seeing you again.” With tears glistening in his eyes, Black Fox saw Jiang Li off.
Jiang Li lay in her compartment, eating the donut made by Black Fox, and her mind instantly cleared up quite a bit.
『Donut personally made by Manager Black Fox of the Wheel of Fate Casino: After eating it, Intelligence +1. Obtaining it is hell-level difficult!』
Jiang Li sprang up instantly. This? This? So this is what being a lucky one feels like? She immediately opened the two wooden crates from this morning and the system parcel.
“Congratulations, player, you have obtained Iron ×6, Wood ×6, Plastic ×5, mineral water 500 ml ×1, pillow ×1, towel ×1, miss long-sleeved pajama set ×1, and small bread pieces ×4.”
“The player equipped with Title 666 randomly upgrades one item and obtains refined iron ×6.”

Jiang Li ran her hand over the soft, squishy pink pajamas in delighted surprise. The game was actually pretty considerate.
She took out two bottles of mineral water to wash her face and wipe down her body, changed into the pajamas, and ate a burger with cola.
Jiang Li narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. She was going to roll up her sleeves and work hard.
