"Genius?" The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard Wang Fan's words.
"This person's understanding of business is unparalleled! This is the first time I've heard such words from a young man. It's a pity that I can't take him as my own. What a pity. "
Wang Fan muttered to himself. However, his voice wasn't soft and the middle-aged man could hear everything. The two men in white involuntarily appeared in his mind and he was puzzled. Who was the City Lord talking about?
Suddenly, the middle-aged man recalled the City Lord's final action. He had cupped his hands and said goodbye to one of the two men. It must be this person. He couldn't help but smile and cupped his hands. "Since the City Lord has taken a fancy to him, I will think of a way to make him follow you willingly."
"Oh? What good idea do you have? " Wang Fan was instantly interested. To be honest, he was unwilling to accept the fact that he couldn't get the young man.
"It's actually very simple." The middle-aged man smiled and bent down to whisper a few words into Wang Fan's ear. Wang Fan frowned and said, "Will this method work?"
"Don't worry! As long as he has a taste of the benefits and sees the future and benefits of Eternal Gambling House, he will definitely follow you. "The middle-aged man patted his chest and said.
"Alright, I'll leave this matter to you. However, you must remember to stop before going too far. In addition, other than the First City to the Third City, the odds of the other cities will be increased by ten times. "Wang Fan nodded and said a few words before he disappeared into the back hall without any warning.
"Ten times?"
The middle-aged man was stunned and smiled bitterly. "It's increased by so much. If the people from these cities win, Eternal Gambling House will suffer a great loss."
"However, I don't think anyone will place a big bet. After all, the people from these three low-class cities and three middle-class cities have never won." The middle-aged man muttered. He pondered for a while and shouted, "Men!"
"General Manager Su, do you have any instructions?" A staff walked into the back hall and asked respectfully.
"Go and change the odds."
…
Wang Fan usually kept a low profile and rarely appeared in front of people. Apart from the City Lord's Residence's people, basically no one knew his true identity. Therefore, when Wang Fan appeared in the Eternal Gambling House, apart from the staff of the gambling house, there was no reaction. Everyone gathered at the central gambling area, considering who to bet on.
Cang Zheng and Wutian were naturally among them.
In the middle of the crowd, there was a large round table with a wooden board on top of it. On top of the wooden board were the names of the nine cities, and below it were the odds for the nine cities.
"The Ninth City's odds are only one to three hundred, and the Eighth City's odds are only one to two hundred. Isn't that a bit too low? If I bet on myself to win, I won't make much money," Cang Zheng frowned and muttered.
"Indeed, there's no profit." Wutian nodded. He didn't want to look any longer and was about to leave. However, at this moment, a shout rang out. The two of them couldn't help but be stunned and looked over in confusion.
"Everyone, please make way. General Manager Su has instructed that in order for everyone to make a killing, the odds have to be changed."
A staff held a wooden board and quickly walked forward. He took down the original wooden board from the gambling table and placed the wooden board in his hand on it. He then smiled at everyone and left.
The wooden board stated the following.
First City: Odds are one to ten.
Second City: Odds are one to twenty.
Third City: Odds are one to thirty.
Fourth City: Odds are one to one hundred.
Fifth City: Odds are one to two hundred.
Sixth City: Odds are one to three hundred.
Seventh City: Odds are one to one thousand.
Eighth City: Odds are one to two thousand.
Ninth City: Odds are one to three thousand.
"How can this be? The odds for the Ninth City to the Fourth City increased by ten times. Why didn't the odds increase for the Third City to the First City?"
"Are you an idiot? How can the people sent by the three cities lose? If the odds increase, the Eternal Bank will suffer a huge loss. Do you think they're that stupid? "
"That's true. Over the years, the top three places have always been taken by the people from the three cities. I believe there will be no exception this year."
As soon as the wooden board was placed on the table, the crowd began to discuss. However, the discussion quickly ended. Everyone was conflicted about which city to bet on.
Although the odds for the First City to the Third City were low, it was very safe and there was no risk. It could be said that they would definitely win.
As for the Fourth City to the Sixth City, although the odds for the Fourth City to the Sixth City were high, the risk was not small. In the past, there were people who were lucky enough to win the championship, but there were only a few of them. It was not very safe.
As for the Seventh City to the Ninth City, although the odds for the Seventh City to the Ninth City were frighteningly high, no one took a second look.
One had to know that for countless years, the people from the three cities had never won. If one were to bet on them, wouldn't it be the same as throwing the Essence into the lake and never getting it back?
"Everyone, there are still ten hours before the registration. You can place your bets now." A staff at the round table reminded with a smile.
"I'll bet 50,000 Essence on the First City. Although the odds are low, it's a sure win."
"Since it's a sure win, 50,000 is too little. I'll bet 500,000 Essence. After a few days, I'll earn 5 million. What a good deal, haha!"
"The First City might not win. I'll bet 100,000 on the Second City!"
"I'll bet 100,000 on the Third City …"
…
In an instant, everyone placed their bets. One mustard seed bag after another was thrown onto the round table. The staff of the gambling house was full of smiles. It was almost too late to count the bets.
However, the bets were basically from the First City. No one cared about the Second City, Third City, Fourth City to the Ninth City.
"One to ten, one to three thousand." When Cang Zheng and Wutian saw the odds on the wooden board, they were speechless. The odds for the Inferior City and the Superior City were actually a thousand times different. This was really a huge difference!
"Wutian, should I bet on you or myself?" Cang Zheng was very depressed. He really wanted to bet on himself, but he was not confident that he could beat Wutian.
"Forget it. I'll bet 1,000,000 Essence on you! You can't lose. "After thinking for a while, Cang Zheng finally bet on Wutian as a businessman. Just as he was about to take out the Essence, a voice rang in his ears.
"Two little brothers, have you thought about who you want to bet on?"
The two of them looked over and saw the middle-aged man in luxurious clothes they met at the entrance walk out from the back hall. He greeted the crowd warmly and walked towards them.
The middle-aged man stepped forward and looked at Wutian and Cang Zheng. He cupped his hands and said, "I'm the manager of the Eternal Gambling House, Su He."
"Hello, manager Su." Cang Zheng greeted politely. Wutian just smiled.
Su He nodded and smiled, "If the two little brothers can't decide who to bet on, I can give you some advice if you don't mind."
"Then I'll have to trouble you to give us some advice." Cang Zheng smiled.
"I don't dare to give advice. However, for the sake of manager Wang, I can give you some insider information." Su He smiled and whispered.
"There's insider information?" Cang Zheng's interest was piqued. He cupped his hands and said, "I'd like to hear more."
"According to the news that I've received, apart from the Seventh City to the Ninth City, everyone who is participating in the Shadow Guard Competition has come prepared. I heard that a few of them have reached the Small Success Stage and some of them are even unrivalled in the Small Success Stage. They can be considered as impressive figures but they're still far from the Little Demon King of the First City."
"Oh? Is the Little Demon King very powerful? "Cang Zheng asked doubtfully.
"Speaking of the Little Demon King, few people know about him. However, as long as it's the City Lord and Deputy City Lord of the Ninth City, they all know about him. Even the Shadow Guard Commander has a whole new level of respect for him."
Su He's face was full of admiration. He said that the Little Demon King was the City Lord's proudest disciple. He reached the Channel Opening Stage at the age of 20, the Hundred Dynasties Stage at the age of 100, the Initial Divine Transformation Stage at the age of 300 and the Small Completion Stage at the age of 1000. After that, he went into seclusion for 500 years. Now, his cultivation had reached the peak of the Small Completion Stage.
"He's so strong?"
Cang Zheng was surprised. In fact, his heart was filled with disdain. Let's not talk about Wutian. Take himself as an example. It had only been a hundred years since he was born, and his cultivation had already reached the initial stage. As long as he was given a thousand years, no, just five hundred years, he was confident that he could easily surpass the so-called Little Devil King.
"Of course. In order to nurture him, the City Lord has spent a lot of effort, all for today. If the two little brothers still haven't thought it through, you might as well buy him. This Su will guarantee that you will make a profit without any losses." Su He solemnly vowed.
"Haha! Chief Steward Su, the casino relies on luck. I don't dare to place a bet. I have to seriously consider it. "Cang Zheng smiled.
Hearing this, Su He's expression turned ugly. A part of it was because of Cang Zheng's rejection, but a larger part of it was because he had miscalculated.
Previously, he had proposed this plan to the City Lord. He would tell this person the inside information and let him make a profit. After the other party saw the benefits of the Eternal Gambling House, he might be tempted. At that time, he would use a large sum of money to lure this person in.
But he did not expect that the other party would not buy it. His saliva was already dry, but he still wanted to consider it.
Cang Zheng naturally saw Su He's expression. He could not help but mock him in his heart. What Little Demon King? He could not be compared to Wutian, this pervert.
Actually, Cang Zheng had already known about the Little Demon King that Su He was talking about. But he did not take it to heart at all. Because there was a guy beside him who was even scarier than the real Little Demon King.
But there was one thing that made him curious. On the list obtained from the purple-robed man, there were records of the people from the First and Sixth City participating in the Shadow Guard election. Only the people from the Seventh and Ninth City were not.
After thinking for a while, Cang Zheng leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Chief Steward Su, let's be a good person to the end. Why don't you let me take a look at the list of the people from the Ninth City participating in the Shadow Guard election for my reference?"
"This …"
When Su He heard this, he hesitated. The list was an internal secret. Only the people in the City Lord's Mansion knew about it. For example, the City Lord, the Deputy City Lord, the City Guard Commander and the City Guard. If this spread out, they would definitely be scolded by the City Lord.
