Chapter 24 (1/2)

Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding..

A rapid series of bells rang, and the first bet of the night appeared on that huge central screen.

Pointing at the words on the screen, the casino owner, Derrick, began to introduce.

“As everyone knows, the first exam of the Royal Academy of the Hiro Empire every year is the foundation of magic theory.”

“The first round of this bet is based on the results of the exam in this subject.”

“We provide two ways of gambling. The first one is to bet on the ranking.”

As soon as boss Derrick’s voice fell, a beautiful lady in a high-forked skirt immediately walked up to every gambler with magic instruments in her hands.

“Every gambler can guess the ranking of Hughes in this exam. The one who gets it right will get all the money that the other gamblers bet on.”

At this point, Trick added with a smile:

“Of course, the winner has to give 10% of your earnings to the casino. This is also our casino’s rule. I believe everyone can understand.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the gamblers in the casino burst into laughter.

“Boss Derrick, we are also your regular customers. How can we not know your rules?”

“Hurry up and start. How do you use this device? Hurry up and tell us.”

Seeing the anticipation in the eyes of the gamblers, Derrick felt that it was time to teach them how to use the device.

“Don’t be impatient. I’ll teach everyone how to use the device.”

“The method to use the device is very simple. All you need to do is inject a bit of your magic power into it, imagine the position you want to set, and the amount of money you want to bet. We’ll be able to receive your information.”

“Then, we’ll deduct the corresponding amount from your deposit account based on the amount of money you have betted.”

When he said this, everyone was shocked.

All the gamblers present were regular customers of this casino.

However, this was also the first time they used such a novel method.

“Although I really don’t want to gamble, I still want to try this attractive gambling method.”

“Stop pretending. Where are you from?”

“Boss Derrick, I have already placed my bets for this round. When will the next round begin?”

The gamblers in the casino exclaimed in admiration at the magical equipment in front of them. However, most of the gamblers were still looking forward to the next few rounds of gambling.

After all, there were too many students participating in the Hiro Empire’s Royal Academy examination. The probability of guessing the ranking of Hughes was too low. Most people were unwilling to take such a risk.

Listening to the discussions of the gamblers in the casino, Derrick turned around and glanced at his assistant who was standing beside him.

The latter understood and immediately responded to him with a look.

Derrick nodded in satisfaction. Through the expression of his assistant, he had a general understanding of the betting situation in the casino.

“Half a minute later, this round of betting will end. Friends who haven’t placed their bets yet, please hurry up and don’t miss this round of betting.”

Below the gambling table, Sean stared at Hughes and asked in a low voice,

“Can you get first place? If you have the confidence to get first place, then we can still place our bets in this round.”

Hughes shook his head and repeatedly denied.

“Although I have the confidence to pass this first round of the magical technology theory exam, I’m not sure what kind of ranking I can get.”
