Chapter 95: Want to Continue Gambling?

A complex mix of emotions filled the air.

Ten million federal currency.

This number stirred a massive ripple in everyone's hearts.

The old man with white hair and beard looked calm.

As if he had just made a trivial transaction.

But the fleeting sharpness deep in his eyes...

...showed that this deal was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

He looked at Jiang Yun and asked again in a peaceful tone, "Friend, are you willing to sell it to me?"

Hearing this, although Jiang Yun was somewhat surprised by the other party's high price...

...he still nodded.

"I can."

Although he felt a hint of surprise at the old man's generosity, it was more of a planned calmness.

His original psychological price was much lower than this.

This ten million was an unexpected surprise.

More importantly, it helped him complete several small goals.

It was the perfect foundation for his next plan.

The surrounding crowd let out bursts of regretful sighs.

"What a pity, I didn't get it."

"Sigh, I thought I could pick up a bargain, but I didn't expect the price to go so high."

"Ten million... for this price, you could almost buy a finished beast with higher certainty. Gambling on a Silver Rank is too risky."

"Indeed, this young brother made a profit, but it might not be worth it for the old man."

No one thought this Silver Rank Beast Egg was truly worth this sky-high price; they generally felt Jiang Yun was incredibly lucky to have met someone who wasn't short on money.

Only Xiao Yun, the staff member who received Jiang Yun...

...had a face overflowing with heartfelt joy.

This wasn't just because she received a substantial commission...

...but also because this seemingly steady and low-profile guest...

...actually completed a huge transaction through her hands.

A sense of shared pride welled up within her.

She deftly handled the transaction procedures for the two of them.

Then, she respectfully handed back the federation card, which already had ten million credited, to Jiang Yun.

The young man looked at Xiao Yun's bright smile and found it particularly piercing; the frustration in his chest demanded to be vented.

He couldn't help but speak to Jiang Yun sarcastically again:

"Kid, don't get happy too early! It's just dumb luck, a blind cat running into a dead rat! The beast gambling industry's waters are very deep. Do you think you'll have such good luck every time? When I started playing this, you didn't even know where you were! In this Beast Gambling Hall, seniority is king!"

Hearing Attendant Qin's words...

...Jiang Yun didn't even bother to lift an eyelid.

He completely treated the young man's incessant chatter as wind past his ears.

A summer insect cannot speak of ice; wasting words with such a person was meaningless.

In the eyes of the young man and some onlookers, his silence looked more like a lack of confidence or the bewilderment of someone who had suddenly become rich.

However.

Just when Xiao Yun thought Jiang Yun would quit while he was ahead...

...and leave this place of trouble with his huge sum of money...

...Jiang Yun did something that left everyone dumbfounded.

He didn't take the card.

Instead, he gently pushed the card back with his finger, his tone so calm there wasn't a single ripple, as if the person who just received ten million wasn't him.

"No rush."

He paused, and under everyone's puzzled gazes, he slowly uttered the next sentence: "I want to continue gambling."

...!!!

Those words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears.

The surrounding onlookers were all stunned.

There was even a moment of silence.

Everyone stared at Jiang Yun with looks of disbelief.

"He... what did he say? He wants to keep gambling?"

"My god! Ten million isn't enough? What else does he want?"

"It's over, it's over. This kid seems to be truly addicted! A typical gambler's mentality!"

"He just made a big profit and thinks he's the chosen one who can sweep the Beast Gambling Hall? Too naive!"

"Or does this mysterious guy really have some appraisal method?"

After the brief silence...

...came an even more surging tide of discussion.

The young man in fine clothes looked as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. The embarrassment and anger on his face were instantly replaced by thick ridicule, and he almost laughed to the point of tears:

"Hahaha! What did I say? What did I say! Relying on good luck, he just earned a bit and already forgot who he is! He really thinks he's the god of gamblers reincarnated? Continue gambling? Fine, let's see how many minutes you can keep that ten million warm!"

Even the generous old man...

...frowned slightly.

He pondered for a moment.

Out of a bit of kindness, he spoke up to remind him:

"Young friend, I'm guessing you're not very old. Quit while you're ahead. In the beast gambling trade, nine out of ten bets are losses; that's no lie. You might have had some insight just now, but luck won't always be on your side. This ten million is enough for you to Cultivate peacefully for a long time. Why throw it into this bottomless pit again?"

His words carried the admonishment of a Senior to a Junior.

Steady and powerful.

Jiang Yun still maintained some respect for this generous old man. He nodded slightly, his tone still peaceful: "Thank you for the reminder, Senior. This Junior knows what he's doing."

After speaking...

...he turned to the already dazed Xiao Yun and instructed: "Take me to the Advanced Area to have a look."

Only then did Xiao Yun snap back to her senses. Her pretty face was filled with anxiety and worry. She lowered her voice and urgently advised:

"Sir! You... you've earned enough today! Really! Take my advice, the Beast Eggs in the Advanced Area are more expensive, and the risks are greater! Many veteran Beast Tamers have stumbled there! If you continue gambling, you'll likely... likely lose everything!"

She hadn't worked here long...

...but she had already witnessed too many similar scenes.

How many people came in with dreams and capital, only to lose their minds because of greed, ending up bankrupt and leaving in dejection.

She really couldn't bear to see this guest, who had brought her good luck, also step onto that path of no return.

Jiang Yun looked at her sincerely worried eyes and felt a slight warmth in his heart, but his determination didn't waver at all.

After all, he wasn't a gambler who relied on luck.

To put it bluntly!

Others came to gamble money!

He came to withdraw money!

He shook his head gently, his tone carrying an unquestionable firmness: "It's fine, take me there."

Xiao Yun looked into his deep and calm eyes, and the words of persuasion at the tip of her tongue were swallowed back down. In the end, they could only turn into a helpless sigh as she shook her head gently.

In her heart, she had already labeled Jiang Yun as someone blinded by massive wealth and addicted to gambling.

Sudden wealth is indeed the best touchstone for testing one's Heart-Nature.

The surrounding crowd also shook their heads one after another.

They had expressions that said "as expected" and "this boy is beyond help."

"Judging by the voice, the person under the mask shouldn't be very old. Still too young, too green."

"Yeah, sudden wealth leads to a loss of balance; he can't handle it."

"What a waste of those ten million federal currency..."

"Wait and see, I'm afraid this kid will eventually walk out of Myriad Beast Pavilion crying."

Everyone was certain...

...that a tragedy was about to unfold.

They stayed behind, wanting to watch the show.

The young man even crossed his arms.

An undisguised sneer hung on his face.

Two words came out of his mouth.

"Fool!"

However.

Among the crowd, only the old man had a sharp glint flash through his cloudy eyes.

From beginning to end, he had been carefully observing Jiang Yun.

He found that this young man didn't have the usual gambler's emotions of anxiety or greedy fanaticism.

He wasn't ecstatic because he earned ten million, nor was he shaken in the slightest by everyone's doubts and ridicule.

His eyes were always clear and calm, even carrying a... a sense of understanding and control, as if he had seen through everything.

This extraordinary composure...

...was definitely not something a young man blinded by luck could possess.

"Interesting..."

The old man stroked his beard and muttered to himself, his curiosity about Jiang Yun deepening.

He decided to watch a bit more... and followed Xiao Yun.

Jiang Yun stepped into the core area of the Beast Gambling Hall.

The Advanced Area.

The decoration here was more luxurious, and the environment was quieter. Individual display stands emitted a soft glow. The number of Beast Eggs placed on them was significantly reduced, but each one appeared more mysterious, and their energy fluctuations were faintly stronger than those in the outer area.

The air was filled with a heavy sense of money and risk intertwined.

Jiang Yun's gaze swept across.

He seemed to stroll casually.

In reality, his Entry Manifestation talent had already been quietly activated.

Streams of information flashed before his eyes like data.

[Earth Vein Stone Beast Egg, Aptitude: Bronze Intermediate, low potential...]

[Ghost Shadow Cat Egg, Aptitude: Black Iron Peak, excels in speed...]

[Blazing Fire Bird Egg, Aptitude: Silver Low Rank, fire affinity...]

[Ice Crystal Turtle Egg, Aptitude: Silver Rank Advanced, Excellent defense...]

[Thunder Pattern Tiger Egg, Aptitude: Gold Low Rank, high growth potential...]

...With a rough scan.

The quality of the Beast Eggs in the Advanced Area indeed far exceeded the outside.

Most Aptitudes were above Bronze Rank.

Black Iron Rank was occasionally seen.

Silver Rank was even more common.

He even found Gold Rank Beast Eggs...

...and more than just one or two!

And among them.

The ones with the best Aptitude were four Beast Eggs emitting subtle energy fluctuations.

Without exception, their Aptitude had reached Gold Rank Peak!

The energy fluctuations of two of them were the most subtle and restrained.

Clearly, they had greater potential.

Jiang YunHe understood.

But he only had ten million federal currency on hand right now.

Based on the price of five million per egg in the Advanced Area...

...he could only buy two at most.

"Very well, I'll buy these two best ones first. Once they are catalyzed and their value doubles or even triples, I'll come back for the other valuable Beast Eggs."

Jiang Yun instantly made a plan.

His primary goal today was to make money and accumulate initial capital.

Since he had discovered a Treasure Trove, he naturally had to mine it in batches to maximize profits.

He no longer hesitated. His stroll seemed casual, but his target was clear.

He walked to a display stand with a Beast Egg covered in mysterious silver patterns, with what looked like a nebula swirling inside, and another stand with a completely crimson Beast Egg that faintly emitted the sound of a beast's cry.

"These two."

Jiang Yun pointed to the two Beast Eggs with price tags of five million and four point eight million federal currency and said to Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun took a deep breath.

She stepped forward as instructed.

She carefully took out the two Beast Eggs worth nearly ten million.

Her movements were even trembling slightly.

This was almost the largest single transaction she had ever handled.

The guests who had followed them in or were already in the Advanced Area saw Jiang Yun so recklessly spend the ten million he had just received and immediately let out a wave of sighs.

"Tsk, what a spendthrift!"

"Ten million for two? Is he just throwing caution to the wind?"

"Looking at the way he picked them, he just pointed at two randomly, didn't he?"

"It's over. If both of these lose money, he'll really lose everything. He won't even be able to find a place to cry!"

"Young people are still too impulsive!"

Ridicule could be heard incessantly.

It completely matched their previous expectations of a gambler.

The young attendant sneered repeatedly.

A cold smile was already plastered on his face.

He was just waiting to see Jiang Yun fall from the clouds into the mud.

Faced with all these doubts and ridicule...

...Jiang Yun remained oblivious, so calm it was unnerving.

His heart was clear, and he even felt like laughing.

Luck?

The truth would reveal itself in a moment.

The harder they ridiculed him now...

...the more interesting their expressions would be later.

He calmly instructed the uneasy Xiao Yun, "Let's go, take them to be catalyzed."
