Chapter 24 (2/2)

“Alright, we won’t place our bets in this round. Let’s wait and see.”

Half a minute later, the round of betting ended. The casino owner, Derrick, once again stepped onto the stage, picked up the loudspeaker, and began to explain the rules of the second round of betting.

“Just like the first round of betting, the second round of betting is still based on the results of Hughes’ magical theory exam.”

“In this round of betting, we provide two answers for everyone to choose from.”

“First, those who believe that Hughes can stand out from more than 7,000 students and successfully pass this round of examinations at the Royal Academy of Hiro, please use your magic power to carve a one on the instrument and determine your bet amount.”

“Second, those who believe that Hughes cannot pass this round of examinations, need to carve a two on the instrument and determine the bet amount.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the gamblers in the casino began to take actions one after another.

On the stage in the middle of the casino, the girl assistant who had been standing next to Derrick quickly walked up to Derrick and said in a low voice,

“Boss, 70% of the gamblers have placed their bets in this round.”

Trick nodded slightly, then he picked up the loudspeaker and said to the bottom of the casino,

“There is still one minute left in this round of betting. Please cherish your time and place your bets quickly.”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh..

Seeing the numbers on the light screen in her hand consistently increase, the assistant’s eyes widened in surprise.

She had worked by Derrick’s side for many years and had seen countless large-scale betting.

There was no gambling game that had more people participating and larger betting amount than this one.

“Do you want to bet on this one? I’m certain I can pass the Magic Theory Exam?”

Hughes turned to Sean.

“You must be short-sighted. I might not be as good as you in magic cultivation, but your cultivation is not as good as mine when it comes to investing and making money.”

Sean chuckled and explained slowly.

“Although I didn’t see the backend information of the casino, based on my years of experience, there must be a lot of people betting in this round, and the number of people on both sides will be in a balanced state.”

“Although I believe in your strength, we won’t make much money even if we win this round.”

“Instead of wasting money on such meaningless gambling, it’s better to save up this money and wait for a suitable time to directly make a big profit.”

Hughes nodded and agreed with Sean’s view.

Soon, the first round of gambling ended. The boss picked up the loudspeaker again and began to explain the second round of gambling.

“The first round of gambling has ended. Now, let’s start the second round of gambling.”

“For this round of gambling, we will also use the results of the exam of the Royal Hiro Academy as the basis for determining the win or loss.”

“In the second round bets, we will still use the two gambling methods from before.”

The casino owner, Derrick, picked up the loudspeaker and began to explain the betting methods and the rules of winning and losing.

“Just like before, everyone can also choose the ranking to place their bets. Once Hughes’ ranking is determined, the chosen one will win this round of the bet and split the money of all the losers equally.”

“The betting method is also very simple. Just like last time, you only need to inject a trace of your magic power into it. Imagine the ranking you want to set and the amount of money you want to place your bets. We will receive your information here.”

…

“Now, let’s start the second round of betting.”

As soon as Derrick’s voice fell, the instruments in the hands of all the gamblers lit up, reflecting the sickly red color on their faces.
