Chapter 25 (1/2)

Unlike the previous round of bets, more gamblers expressed their deep interest in this round.

“Hahaha, I think Hughes can get first place. That kid was once a genius, a natural maximum level spiritual power cultivator. I’ll bet 500,000!”

“Brother, you’re overestimating that Hughes a little too much. Three years ago, he only awakened low-grade elemental affinity.”

“You must be short-sighted. Elemental affinity has nothing to do with a mage’s own soul power. I think what brother said earlier is right. I’ll follow you.”

Countless gamblers chose a ranking that suited their hearts according to their understanding of this year’s examinees.

In the crowd, Sean quietly looked at Hughes and asked softly,

“Can you guarantee that you’ll get first place in this round? If you think it’s possible, we can try this round.”

Through the broadcast screen in the center of the stage, Sean had a rough understanding of the betting format of the entire venue.

From his perspective, there were more people betting on this round, and the amount of money placed on each bet was relatively large.

If Hughes was confident of getting first place in this round of examinations, this round would also give them a stable sum of income.

“If you think that this round is profitable, then you should go for it. With my strength and the magic test, first place will still be easy.”

This was not to say that Hughes was boasting. He had the magic power of a Tier 3 mage now, coupled with his innate max level spiritual power.

Even if one looked back in the past 100 years, there wouldn’t be an examinee stronger than him much less the examinees of this year.

Listening to Hughes’ confident recollection, Derrick smiled faintly.

Then, he picked up the device and injected a strand of his spiritual power into it. He placed a bet of 100,000 Hiro coins.

“This is just for fun. It’s a good start.”

While the two of them were talking, the other gamblers in the venue were particularly excited. They all shouted at the casino owner in the middle of the stage.

“Boss Derrick, hurry up and start the next round of gambling.”

“Yes, yes, I haven’t placed a bet yet. Hurry up and give me a reason to place a bet.”

…

Looking at the anxious gamblers below and listening to their desperate shouts, an endless amount of disdain emerged in Derrick’s heart.

Although Derrick was a casino operator, in reality, he hated gambling more than anyone else.

That was why he would conduct such a performance art before the opening of every large-scale gambling game.

He hoped to use this method to persuade those gamblers who would definitely go bankrupt one day to stop.

However, every time he tried, it was a waste of effort. No one was willing to listen to him.

They were simply a bunch of stupid pigs, ignorant and stubborn!

Wasn’t it good to use your own money to do something practical? Why did you have to come to the casino to gamble?

Fine, since you want it, I’ll satisfy you.

“If betting on the rank is a walk on the edge of a knife, then betting on winning or losing is a safer bet.”

“Just like before, the family can also choose whether or not they can pass the second round of the exam.”

“Now, let’s place our bets for the second round.”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh..

Soon, the second round of betting was over.

Amidst the crazy shouts of the gamblers, the third round of betting quickly began.

Then, like the first two rounds of betting, it quickly ended as well.

After the three rounds, each gambler’s face was covered in mist.

Some were hot, some were excited, and the rest were mostly because of the craziness of giving up everything.

Unlike the in between time for the previous rounds when the gamblers were boisterous, the gamblers all kept extremely quiet before the last round..

This was because the rules of this round were completely different from the previous rounds.

These gamblers already knew this before they participated in the gambling.
