Chapter 568

But all that was for later.

For now, she'd better go read some manga and relax properly.

"Boss, I'm going to go read manga now."

Saying so, Lisa took her *Food Wars! * and walked toward the second floor with elegant steps.

Then she casually picked a room in the middle.

"Hm? This is Boss Han's room?"

Lisa took a look at the decor inside and was slightly surprised.

Because there were quite a few traces of a man living there.

She hadn't expected that just by picking one at random, she'd found Boss Han's room.

Just as she was about to back out and pick another room, she stopped.

"Boss Han did say I couldn't pick his room, didn't he?"

Thinking of this, a flicker of interest flashed through Lisa's green eyes.

So she closed the door and walked in.

"Unexpectedly tidy!"

Lisa couldn't help but marvel.

This was perfectly normal.

After all, every day Noelle the little maid helped tidy things up.

"If Jean knew about my situation right now, she'd probably be jealous, right?"

Thinking of this, a smile tugged at the corner of Lisa's lips.

But she didn't look around too much. She lay down on Han Feng's bed and gently opened the manga.

The more she read, the brighter the light in Lisa's eyes grew.

As if she'd stumbled upon some extraordinary good book.

She even couldn't help but offer commentary when she reached the exciting parts.

Completely different from Noelle's shy demeanor earlier.

One could only say, a big sister is a big sister.

Meanwhile, downstairs.

With Seeing Qiqi and Baizhu's departure,

before long, the passersby at the manga shop finished reading and left after receiving their rewards.

At this point, on the first floor, aside from Barbara quietly reading in the silent zone,

only Lady Ningguang and the others remained.

But now the situation at the card table was extremely lopsided.

A tall pile of Mora sat in front of Lady Ningguang.

All of it won from Lumine and Noelle.

A conservative estimate put it over a million Mora.

Seeing this, Lady Ningguang gave two dry coughs.

"Ahem, I see most of the customers have left, so let's call it a day."

It wasn't that she didn't want to keep playing; she had simply won too much.

The two in front of her were nearly bled dry by her.

Continuing like this would be a bit unseemly.

"Mm, mm, next time!"

Lumine and Noelle, hearing this, felt relief in their hearts.

They also hurriedly nodded.

Never in their wildest dreams did they expect Lady Ningguang to be this good at cards!

Her luck, to be fair, was normal.

The main thing was she could calculate—she could count cards in all sorts of ways.

Lumine and Noelle both felt that the moment they picked up their cards, it was as if this person could see right through them.

873　　Every single card they played, the other side seemed to know.

Under such a downright "cheating" ability, the two lost far more than they won.

Before long, each of them had lost several hundred thousand Mora...

"It's over, I couldn't hold back, and lost this much this time?!"

Seeing the empty stretch in front of her on the card table, Noelle's little face was full of worry.

Originally, according to her plan, her savings were enough to last a while.

But she hadn't expected that getting hooked on cards would make her lose so much all at once.

Now look at her—completely broke...

Food and lodging weren't a worry, after all—the boss provided room and board here.

But now she had no money to read manga.

"Sigh, I'll have to serve the boss extra well later and see if I can get an advance on my wages."

Noelle thought helplessly.

Lumine was in the same situation.

"Well now, the money I earned is pretty much all gone from losing. Looks like I'll have to find something to do later."

Yingmei also let out a long sigh.

【2】 Originally, after helping Mondstadt resolve the Stormterror incident, she had received a sizable bonus from Jean.

Originally, after helping Mondstadt resolve the Wind Dragon incident, she had received a considerable bonus from Jean.

Enough to splurge for quite a while.

Who would have thought that after a single card game, all the money would be gone...

If she didn't come up with some way, she wouldn't even be able to read comics tomorrow.

"Could it be that I'm really not suited for this game?"

In a daze, Yingmei began to doubt herself.

First, she played against Boss Han and lost herself.

Then she played cards with Lady Ningguang and lost every last Mora on her.

Now she could truly be said to have lost both her person and her purse...

"That Lady Ningguang, she's actually this good?!"

Seeing the table piled high with Mora, Purple Cat was also utterly shocked.

This Dou Di Zhu has only just come out not long ago, right?

And you're already this proficient?

You must be cheating, right?

"After all, she's a technical player, so it's understandable."

Han Feng said with a faint smile.

Unlike him, who cheats by stacking luck in his own favor.

Lady Ningguang plays the game entirely with her brain.

Relying on her powerful memory and analytical thinking,

she judges the possibilities of the cards in the other two players' hands.

Just like the experts in those gambling movies.

Moreover, Ning herself is in charge of the economy, so when she analyzes,

it's not that troublesome either.

Facing such a big shot, these two casual players, Yingmei and Noelle,

didn't lose unjustly.

If they could win, that would be the real wonder!

Unless, like Han Feng before, they had the blessing of tremendous luck.
