"Thank you for coming!"
I was currently buying vanilla flavor ice cream at the ice cream truck I found on the street.
After enjoying my ice cream, it was ti to make use of the 24-hour blessing luck.
The first place I visited was of course the nearby ECQ to turn in the reward for the goblin king's material and a few other goblins. Though the number was not comparable to the shares I got from Horizon Elixir and Catalyst Potion.
I didn't really do much in the subjugation of the goblin king, so I planned to give 70% to Ruby. Not to ntion that she ca to the hunting field for the Golden Goblin which I had already killed before she arrived.
It was hard to do that. But after reminding myself this was for the sake of forming a friendly relationship with the SS-rank talent, I could finally let it go. I was planning to give them later when we t again.
If that was not enough, I was ready to give her sothing else. Like, Tearfall, for curing her disease. Yeah, that was if I could ta Bell, the Immoral Alchemist.
After the business in the ECQ was done, I transford into Ian Crow and enjoyed the rest of the day.
It's ti to abuse the blessing!
Las Vegas, USA…
I arrived at the grandest casino in Las Vegas, the Golden Mirage, with my rented limousine and its driver.
Exiting the vehicle, security guided inside the grandiose building.
"Enjoy your ti, sir!"
I made sure I dressed properly for this occasion so I would get treated like I was a high-ranking person in social status.
Entering the opulent casino, I was greeted by shimring lights, the clinking of coins, and the excited murmurs of gamblers hoping to strike it rich.
I scanned the vast gaming floor spanned a wide range of table gas, slot machines, and a high-stakes poker room. Other than that, nurous entertainnt options were also available. The interior's design had a vibe of a futuristic casino I oftentis found in sci-fi, interstellar stories.
"What should I play first?"
My eyes swept the whole room and stopped at the slot machines section.
"Ah, of course. The slot machine will be the best ga as my stepping stone to dominate this casino."
Basically, I could play any ga in this casino and win a ton of money by abusing my luck blessing, and skills.
The problem was that the Golden Mirage had the best defense system against the cheaters. Activating your skills or blessings here would result in an instant ban.
Yeah. 'Activation' was the keyword, aning that it only applied to an active skill. If soone had a passive skill that helped them to cheat, that would be a different story.
Unfortunately, as far as I know, there was no passive skill like that ever existed throughout the novel.
But, hey, I might be wrong. After all, this wasn't the world I knew, a lot had changed even before my intrusion.
My heart raced with excitent as I approached the slot machines—the perfect place to set my plan into motion.
"Let's make them bankrupt!"
I began with the slot machine. With each spin, the reels seed to dance at my command, aligning in winning combinations ti and ti again as I go from machine to machine, accumulating significant winnings.
"Hahaha!"
Buoyed by my early success, I ventured further into the labyrinth of gambling options.
I played roulette with firm conviction, defying the odds with every bet. The ball obediently landed on the numbers I chose, filling my pockets with chips and leaving other players in awe.
Baccarat and poker tables beca my personal playground as every card drawn favored as if I was their king.
The news of my extraordinary winning streak quickly spread throughout the casino, captivating the attention of staff and patrons alike.
Whispers of a man blessed by unbeatable luck filled the air, drawing curious onlookers who marveled at my unbroken streak of triumphs.
With each victory, my fa in the casino and fortune grew, as did the envious gazes cast my way.
Realizing that I was winning too much, I stopped my gas in the casino before the manager ca to stop .
But, I didn't only stop with the casino. The day was still long and the blessing duration too was still unstoppable.
I searched for other luck-based gas or activities that would bring rewards.
Lottery, Bingo, Wheel of Fortune, I tried them all.
At the end of the day, I could only thank the Golden Goblin for gracing with its luck. Ah also, the Lady Luck herself.
"Shoot!"
I threw the dart and popped a balloon perfectly. The crowd, mostly kids who were watching cheered.
"Wow! Uncle! You're so cool!"
I smiled and began to give the kids the rewards I got from the carnival gas.
They lined up obediently, waiting for their turns.
Thankfully, I got enough toy prizes for all these kids.
As the last kid received her gifts, she called 'Black Santa', probably because of my all-black attire.
I ruffled her hair, "Hoho! Yes. I'm Black Santa."
They all were so happy as they walked along with their family.
'Family…'
I didn't know my family. I forgot what my parents and sister looked like. Hell, I don't even know if I have family or was an orphan in my previous life.
What about Zio Varrez, though? Did he rember what his parents looked like? And what about his older sister? Shannon?
Soone grabbed my hand, their hands were small.
I looked downward and found a little girl with short blond hair, her golden eyes t my black eyes. Her expression looked sad, probably because she felt my inner state.
Smiling, I ruffled her hair and we walked away from the carnival, back to our ho—my dorm room.

"Why are you even here, nerd?"
Sowhere in a quiet place with greenery scenery, a group of students was bullying their fellow students.
The victim was a boy with bowl-cut hair, the vibrant green of his hair seed to blend with the background.

"Guak!"
The four students lay unconscious on the ground.
"H-huh?"
Realizing it, the green-haired boy looked up and found a handso student with neatly styled black hair, his black eyes stared at him as a thin smile ford on his face.
"Yo, Bell. It's been a long ti. How are you?"
