The entire hall was already filled with people. The hostess was dressed in a welcoming uniform and was in charge of receiving guests. Many people had already begun looking for people at the gambling tables and looking for their targets.
Although there were only 58 houses, each of them had brought helpers and bodyguards, as well as other experts from the casino. As a result, there were many people there.
Although it was a competition between 58 houses, it was not just the 58 houses that were gambling. The casino itself would also send other people to gamble, or else the gambling would not be able to proceed.
However, in the end, only those 58 houses would need to compete with the remaining chips. They would be ranked according to the remaining chips.
In other words, 58 houses had a total of 580 million chips. However, the final total of 58 houses might not be that much. Of course, it could also be less than that. The more chips would be won by the casino, and the less chips would be lost to the casino.
Lu Hao went to the chip counter to exchange 10 million chips. As he followed behind Ye Lingchen, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Of course, he did not care about the 10 million, but the casino's win or loss.
This time, the people invited by all parties were very strong. If their Lu Group could not get a decent piece of land, their status would definitely plummet.
"Boss Lu, do you want to give it a try?" Wei Hong, who they met yesterday, was already sitting at a gambling table. Beside him was Meng Jiu with a calm expression.
Lu Tianxiong smiled and said nothing.
He followed behind Ye Lingchen and whispered into his ear, "Grandmaster Ye, it's not advisable to fight head-on in the early stages."
At the beginning of the gambling game, unless one was very confident in their gambling skills, they would adopt tactics. Under normal circumstances, they would definitely want to pick a pushover and try to increase their capital as much as possible. They would eliminate others first and increase their ranking.
"You've been taken advantage of before?" Ye Lingchen looked at Lu Tianxiong mockingly.
Lu Tianxiong looked a little awkward. "Last year, I was at the same table as Wei Hong at the beginning. That's why my ranking was so low."
After a pause, he continued, "However, he wasn't much better himself. He was quickly eliminated by Jin Heng."
Ye Lingchen nodded. That was how casinos worked. The big fish devoured the small fish. You either had to avoid it, or you had to be strong enough.
Ye Lingchen noticed that the major real estate developers seemed to have a tacit understanding under such circumstances. They did not look like they were ready to go all out.
Wei Hong glanced at Ye Lingchen who walked past him and could not help but frown. He asked Meng Jiu who was beside him, "Is he a gambling expert?"
Ye Lingchen was too calm. It was as if everything in the casino had nothing to do with him, or perhaps, everything was under his control.
A hint of red flashed in Meng Jiu's scarlet eyes as he shook his head. "He doesn't have the slightest temperament of a gambler. Judging from his hands, he doesn't seem to touch cards often. He doesn't look like he knows how to gamble at all, let alone a master."
"Lu Tianxiong is crazy. Why would he invite a rookie over?" Wei Hong said faintly, then laughed and said, "It seems that Lu Tianxiong is really at the end of his rope. It's a pity that I can't goad Lu Tianxiong into betting with me like last time. Otherwise, he'll be the first to be eliminated!"
While Ye Lingchen was sizing them up, the others were also sizing each other up.
Apart from those well-known gambling experts, Ye Lingchen was undoubtedly the most attractive.
He was too young and had no reputation at all. At first glance, everyone thought he was Lu Tianxiong's bodyguard.
"Boss Lu, why don't you come to my table and try a few rounds?" Jin Heng said with a smile when he saw Lu Tianxiong.
"Boss Lu, why don't you come to my table and play a game of dice first?"
"Hahaha, Boss Lu is really humorous. You actually brought a kid over. Why don't you come to my table and play a few rounds of Golden Flower? It's the easiest."
Along the way, many people greeted Lu Tianxiong and looked at Ye Lingchen with a hint of disdain.
Lu Tianxiong smiled bitterly. He was treated as a pushover.
Ye Lingchen, on the other hand, looked indifferent and did not take their words to heart. He looked around and picked a table to sit down.
That table was already occupied by eight people, playing Baccarat. When they saw Ye Lingchen sitting down, they looked at each other and smiled. With this rookie accompanying them, that round should be very easy.
The others, on the other hand, looked gloomy, secretly lamenting that they missed the opportunity to bully the rookie.
"Miyako is here!"
At that moment, a cry of surprise came from outside the door. Everyone in the casino held their breaths and their hearts raced as they looked up.
Those present had more or less made a name for themselves in the gambling world. It was only natural that they had heard of Miyako's name. Just being the disciple of the Gambling King alone was enough to make a name for herself. More importantly, she had never lost a single round since her debut!
Whenever she participated in a gambling competition, her opponent would always lose, without exception!
Ye Lingchen could not help but look up. He saw a woman in a reddish-brown kimono walking in. Beside her was a slightly plump middle-aged man with a smile. Behind them were two rows of bodyguards in black suits.
The group of people had a strong presence, immediately silencing the originally noisy casino.
Not long after, gasps of surprise were heard one after another.
"That woman is the disciple of the Sun Nation's Gambling King? She's too young! "
"She showed her skills a few times in the Sun Nation. She's very strong. Rumor has it that she already possesses 70% of her master's skills. I wonder if that's true."
"What Jin Heng said was true. Hengtai sure hid it well. They really managed to invite Miyako."
"No wonder Hengtai chose to be the last to arrive. It's to give us a surprise! How scheming! "
Not only was Miyako young, but she was also beautiful. She had big, lively eyes like those in the Sun Nation's anime. Her skin was fair, and her slender legs matched perfectly with the kimono.
It was hard to imagine that such a young lady would be an expert in the gambling world.
Many people could not help but shift their gaze from Miyako to Ye Lingchen.
The two of them seemed to be about the same age, but … there was no comparison at all. The difference was too great.
After Miyako entered, she did not even take a closer look. She simply found a table and sat down. The faces of those at that table immediately darkened, their eyes filled with despair. That was just too unlucky.
"It's almost time!" Due to his excitement, Lu Hao's voice was a little hoarse. He sat beside Ye Lingchen and stared nervously at the table.
Baccarat was divided into four types: banker, player, draw, and pair. Everyone could place their bets according to the situation, and the one who bet correctly would win!
The rules were simple. A third party would deal the cards to the banker and player, then compare their cards. Whoever's cards were closer to nine would win. If both sides had the same cards, it would be a draw. If the cards were a pair, then it would be a pair.
