Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding..
A rapid series of bells rang, and the first bet of the night appeared on that huge central screen.
Pointing at the words on the screen, the casino owner, Derrick, began to introduce.
"As everyone knows, the first exam of the Royal Academy of the Hiro Empire every year is the foundation of magic theory."
"The first round of this bet is based on the results of the exam in this subject."
"We provide two ways of gambling. The first one is to bet on the ranking."
As soon as boss Derrick's voice fell, a beautiful lady in a high-forked skirt immediately walked up to every gambler with magic instruments in her hands.
"Every gambler can guess the ranking of Hughes in this exam. The one who gets it right will get all the money that the other gamblers bet on."
At this point, Trick added with a smile:
"Of course, the winner has to give 10% of your earnings to the casino. This is also our casino's rule. I believe everyone can understand."
As soon as he finished speaking, the gamblers in the casino burst into laughter.
"Boss Derrick, we are also your regular customers. How can we not know your rules?"
"Hurry up and start. How do you use this device? Hurry up and tell us."
Seeing the anticipation in the eyes of the gamblers, Derrick felt that it was time to teach them how to use the device.
"Don't be impatient. I'll teach everyone how to use the device."
"The method to use the device is very simple. All you need to do is inject a bit of your magic power into it, imagine the position you want to set, and the amount of money you want to bet. We'll be able to receive your information."
"Then, we'll deduct the corresponding amount from your deposit account based on the amount of money you have betted."
When he said this, everyone was shocked.
All the gamblers present were regular customers of this casino.
However, this was also the first time they used such a novel method.
"Although I really don't want to gamble, I still want to try this attractive gambling method."
"Stop pretending. Where are you from?"
"Boss Derrick, I have already placed my bets for this round. When will the next round begin?"
The gamblers in the casino exclaimed in admiration at the magical equipment in front of them. However, most of the gamblers were still looking forward to the next few rounds of gambling.
After all, there were too many students participating in the Hiro Empire's Royal Academy examination. The probability of guessing the ranking of Hughes was too low. Most people were unwilling to take such a risk.
Listening to the discussions of the gamblers in the casino, Derrick turned around and glanced at his assistant who was standing beside him.
The latter understood and immediately responded to him with a look.
Derrick nodded in satisfaction. Through the expression of his assistant, he had a general understanding of the betting situation in the casino.
"Half a minute later, this round of betting will end. Friends who haven't placed their bets yet, please hurry up and don't miss this round of betting."
Below the gambling table, Sean stared at Hughes and asked in a low voice,
"Can you get first place? If you have the confidence to get first place, then we can still place our bets in this round."
Hughes shook his head and repeatedly denied.
"Although I have the confidence to pass this first round of the magical technology theory exam, I'm not sure what kind of ranking I can get."
"Alright, we won't place our bets in this round. Let's wait and see."
Half a minute later, the round of betting ended. The casino owner, Derrick, once again stepped onto the stage, picked up the loudspeaker, and began to explain the rules of the second round of betting.
"Just like the first round of betting, the second round of betting is still based on the results of Hughes' magical theory exam."
"In this round of betting, we provide two answers for everyone to choose from."
"First, those who believe that Hughes can stand out from more than 7,000 students and successfully pass this round of examinations at the Royal Academy of Hiro, please use your magic power to carve a one on the instrument and determine your bet amount."
"Second, those who believe that Hughes cannot pass this round of examinations, need to carve a two on the instrument and determine the bet amount."
As soon as he finished speaking, the gamblers in the casino began to take actions one after another.
On the stage in the middle of the casino, the girl assistant who had been standing next to Derrick quickly walked up to Derrick and said in a low voice,
"Boss, 70% of the gamblers have placed their bets in this round."
Trick nodded slightly, then he picked up the loudspeaker and said to the bottom of the casino,
"There is still one minute left in this round of betting. Please cherish your time and place your bets quickly."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh..
Seeing the numbers on the light screen in her hand consistently increase, the assistant's eyes widened in surprise.
She had worked by Derrick's side for many years and had seen countless large-scale betting.
There was no gambling game that had more people participating and larger betting amount than this one.
"Do you want to bet on this one? I'm certain I can pass the Magic Theory Exam?"
Hughes turned to Sean.
"You must be short-sighted. I might not be as good as you in magic cultivation, but your cultivation is not as good as mine when it comes to investing and making money."
Sean chuckled and explained slowly.
"Although I didn't see the backend information of the casino, based on my years of experience, there must be a lot of people betting in this round, and the number of people on both sides will be in a balanced state."
"Although I believe in your strength, we won't make much money even if we win this round."
"Instead of wasting money on such meaningless gambling, it's better to save up this money and wait for a suitable time to directly make a big profit."
Hughes nodded and agreed with Sean's view.
Soon, the first round of gambling ended. The boss picked up the loudspeaker again and began to explain the second round of gambling.
"The first round of gambling has ended. Now, let's start the second round of gambling."
"For this round of gambling, we will also use the results of the exam of the Royal Hiro Academy as the basis for determining the win or loss."
"In the second round bets, we will still use the two gambling methods from before."
The casino owner, Derrick, picked up the loudspeaker and began to explain the betting methods and the rules of winning and losing.
"Just like before, everyone can also choose the ranking to place their bets. Once Hughes' ranking is determined, the chosen one will win this round of the bet and split the money of all the losers equally."
"The betting method is also very simple. Just like last time, you only need to inject a trace of your magic power into it. Imagine the ranking you want to set and the amount of money you want to place your bets. We will receive your information here."
…
"Now, let's start the second round of betting."
As soon as Derrick's voice fell, the instruments in the hands of all the gamblers lit up, reflecting the sickly red color on their faces.
