"Hey, Brother Wu, slow down a bit. If you're feeling bored, how about we start a betting table?" said a tall and skinny man with a smile.

The man surnamed Wu stopped in his tracks upon hearing this. He turned to look at the tall and skinny man and said, "Oh, Brother Li, how do you want to play?"

The people who appeared on the fifth floor were all either rich or noble, and they all had one common trait: they loved gambling.

The suggestion from the man surnamed Li immediately caught the attention of those around them.

The man surnamed Li smiled and said, "I did a bit of investigating earlier. Black Snake City is a medium-sized city with a young man named Shen Jialiang who's learned from a Gambling Egg Master for a while. Now, Celestial Star City, a small city, is proposing to gamble. They lost over ten million this morning and want to make a comeback. I believe everyone has heard of this, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, evidently having heard of the matter.

"We do recognize your gambling expertise. Please go ahead and tell us how the table will be set," said the man surnamed Wu with a smile.

"It's simple. Based on the current situation, Black Snake City's chance of winning is much higher, so their odds should naturally be lower. Whereas, Celestial Star City's odds should be higher, so betting on Black Snake City gives odds of three times, while betting on Celestial Star City gives odds of five times. What does everyone think?" the man surnamed Li said with a smile.

As soon as the words left the man's mouth, the Wu-named man eagerly said, "I have no objection."

Upon hearing this, everyone chimed in with agreement.

The man surnamed Li waved his hand, saying, "You all know my situation. If I were to open the betting table, the upper limit would be ten million. Why not let Brother Wu open the table so we can have more fun?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze fell upon the man surnamed Wu.

Seeing this, the man surnamed Wu smiled and said, "That's doable. However, before opening the table, I have to explain something upfront. We're just playing casually, so the amount shouldn't be too large. How about we set the betting limit at one hundred million?"

"Sure, I have no objections. We'll follow whatever Brother Wu says," everyone agreed upon hearing him.

But no one noticed the playful look in the eyes of the man surnamed Li as he looked at the man surnamed Wu.

Seeing this, the man surnamed Wu smiled and said, "Alright then, let's officially open the betting table." With that, he clicked his wristwatch, pulling up a chart specifically designed for opening betting tables. Clearly, he had done this many times before.

"This time, I have to thank Brother Wu for being generous. I bet a hundred million on Black Snake City winning," the man surnamed Li said with a laugh.

Soon, more than a dozen people followed, betting on a Black Snake City win. These people were all wealthy, each making bets starting from several million, with half of them betting over a hundred million.

At this moment, a voluptuous, fair-skinned, and beautiful woman walked gracefully towards them. She took out a black card and said, "To win money, naturally you should bet on high odds. I'll bet a hundred million on Celestial Star City."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the woman, and after seeing her face clearly, they stood up to greet her, "Greetings, Young City Lord."

The woman waved her hand in response, saying, "No need for formalities. I'm just here for fun and watching the show. Carry on."

Upon hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, but their voices clearly quieted down.

About a few minutes later, seeing that no one was placing bets, the man surnamed Wu loudly called out, "Anyone else want to bet? If no one's betting, I'm going to close the table."

As soon as the man surnamed Wu finished speaking, Chu Chen raised his hand to signal, "Excuse me, elder, I would like to place a bet. May I?"

Upon hearing this, the man surnamed Wu was momentarily startled. He carefully observed Chu Chen before speaking, "Of course you can. You're pretty clever to want to make up for it here."

The Wu-named man clearly thought Chu Chen was going to bet on Black Snake City so he could make up for the three million from him.

The man's thinking coincided with that of everyone present, as nearly nobody thought Chu Chen could win this bet.

However, Chu Chen's choice took everyone by surprise.

"I bet a hundred million on myself," Chu Chen said confidently while handing over a bank card.

Upon hearing this, the man surnamed Wu froze, staring at Chu Chen and asked seriously, "Are you sure?"

Chu Chen nodded and said, "I'm sure. I need money and want to make a big bet."

Upon hearing this, the man surnamed Wu immediately burst into laughter, "Haha, good. You're a fine lad. I'm called Wu Yingxiong, the young master of the Wu Family auction house."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen quickly replied, "I am Chu Chen, nice to meet you, Elder Wu."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yingxiong patted Chu Chen on the shoulder and said, "No need for such formalities. Call me Brother Wu. I'm closing the table now, let's see your performance next."

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Brother Wu, just watch. With that, he turned and walked towards Steward Zhang."

"Damn, this guy seems confident. Could he be pretending to be weak to fool others?" the man surnamed Li said worriedly.

"Who knows. Gambling comes with risks, one must bet cautiously," Wu Yingxiong said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

This hundred-million bet, in their eyes, didn't count as a high-stakes gamble. Even if lost, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Shen Jialiang saw everything and couldn't help but curse silently, "This pretentious brat, I'll show him the difference between us soon."

Unlike the others, Wang Lu and his group were confused by Chu Chen's move.

It took Wang Lu and his group a moment to react.

"Brother Chen, are you crazy? That's two hundred million! And you just decided to gamble?" Wang Lu said, somewhat panicked.

Chu Chen responded calmly, waving his hand, "No worries, just watch."

Wang Lu was taken aback, unable to utter a complete sentence for quite some time.

Seeing that both parties in the bet had gathered, Steward Zhang coughed lightly and said, "I'll serve as the referee for this gambles. Do you all agree?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen smiled and said, "No objection."

Shen Jialiang hurriedly said he had no objection upon hearing.

Steward Zhang nodded and said, "Alright, the rules of the egg betting are as follows: each person selects ten Guardian Beast Eggs, with a time limit of one hour. The winner is decided by price; the higher price wins. The pricing of the Guardian Beast Eggs follows the market of Cyan Dragon City. Do either of you have any questions?"

Upon hearing this, both Chu Chen and Shen Jialiang shook their heads.

Seeing this, Steward Zhang smiled and said, "Alright, I declare the gambling starts now." With that, he began timing.

Shen Jialiang glared at Chu Chen, then ran straight to the shelves where the Guardian Beast Eggs were displayed.

Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but curl his lip, then slowly walked towards the shelves.

Everyone was shocked upon witnessing this scene; had they all misjudged?

The two's actions formed a stark contrast, with Shen Jialiang appearing clearly flustered due to the one-hour time limit.

In contrast, Chu Chen seemed extremely calm, as if he wasn't bothered by the gamble.

However, Chu Chen's actions soon shattered everyone's expectations.

He stopped in front of a shelf, glanced up and down a few times, and then quickly moved to the next shelf, appearing completely unprofessional.

"Brother Wu, it seems Chu Chen is choosing entirely based on luck. You might have misjudged this time," the man surnamed Li said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yingxiong's expression didn't change much, but his voice became slightly deeper.

"You can't say that. Egg gambling is still gambling, and most of it relies on luck. I think this guy has pretty good luck."

Upon hearing this, the man surnamed Li didn't say much more.

Wu Yingxiong appeared calm on the surface, but inside, waves had already risen.

This time, thirty-four people placed bets. Among them, thirty-one bet on Black Snake City, totaling nearly two billion. Even if he has to pay three times, he'd lose six billion, including Chu Chen's and others' bets, and he'd lose four billion.

Although this loss wouldn't bankrupt him, it wouldn't leave him unscathed, and would label him as a wastrel, adversely affecting his status in the family.

At this moment, Wang Lu and others were dumbfounded watching Chu Chen.

"Damn, what's that guy doing? It's a two-hundred-million bet, is he really going to rely on luck?" Wang Lu said in shock.

Upon hearing this, Gangzi and others' expressions became extremely ugly.

Among them, Ji Mingyue's face was the ugliest, as people from Black Snake City had ulterior motives towards her and Zhang Yuyan. Losing this gamble wouldn't only mean losing money but also facing humiliation from the other side.

Among everyone, Zhang Yuyan was the calmest, as she knew Chu Chen's skills well. As long as he wasn't deliberately losing, he definitely wouldn't lose.
