Chapter 797: Opening the Village, Skills Sharpening

The dealer at Table 9 looked past her to the person behind her, a bewildered expression flashing across his face.

“Manager Zhou?”

Why was Manager Zhou accompanying this unfamiliar girl?

What was going on?

It wasn’t just the dealer who was confused.

Many gamblers nearby had already noticed Zhou Li'an and Mingxi.

Why would they notice?

Not because of Mingxi, but because of Zhou Li'an.

Zhou Li'an was not only the lobby manager of the Gambling Stone Building but also the future son-in-law of the Gambling Stone Building’s boss, highly regarded by his future father-in-law.

Although nominally just the lobby manager on the first floor, in reality, both the general manager and the second-floor manager had to defer to him.

Moreover, he himself was an A-level Beastmaster of considerable strength.

In this Gambling Stone Building, Zhou Li'an was truly a being second only to one and above everyone else.

Don’t let his pretty boy looks deceive you; in reality, his personality was cold and arrogant, and he acted ruthlessly and mercilessly; no one who offended him ever came to a good end.

So, when they noticed Zhou Li'an personally accompanying a young girl, they were all very curious.

“Who is that Xiao Guniang Zhou Li'an is accompanying?”

“Could it be Miss Biluo?”

Yu Ye Biluo was the eldest daughter of the Gambling Stone Building and Zhou Li'an’s fiancée.

“Are you blind! Miss Biluo is over 30 this year, how old do you think that girl is?”

“Age doesn’t matter, what matters is that everyone knows Miss Biluo is a beauty of heavenly fragrance and national charm, as beautiful as a fairy, the number one beauty in our Yingwu Zhou district.

Now look at that girl; saying she’s not strikingly beautiful is already a compliment, okay?”

Yan Luoxi’s face was indeed quite ordinary, the type that would be overlooked in a crowd.

But definitely not ugly.

This person was clearly trying to flatter Yu Ye Biluo by deliberately belittling Mingxi.

“...Don’t you think the configuration of the three pet beasts beside her looks a bit familiar? Punishment Angel, Moon Qinghua, and Chengying Demon蛟, aren’t those the pet beast configurations of that new student prodigy from Immortal University yesterday?”

“You mean she is that...”

“Yan Luoxi!”

As a city dependent on Immortal University, An Ting City residents’ attention to Xianzong University was even more exaggerated than Mingxi had imagined.

Comparable to the Chaoyang masses watching out for criminals.

So, after someone reminded them, at least half of the people present identified Mingxi.

In fact, some people had already recognized her when Mingxi entered the door.

Although the video of Xianzong University’s new student entrance exam was forbidden from being circulated, how could there be no Immortal University students in this Gambling Stone Building?

“Why would she come?”

“What’s so strange? She completed her enrollment yesterday, and today she’s just wandering around with nothing to do, isn’t that normal?”

“Zhou Li'an personally accompanying her, and she’s not even a Star Picker yet; the treatment she’s receiving can rival the top ten on both rankings.”

“Heh heh, jealous?”

“Laughing at what! Don’t tell me you’re not sour? Just a new student, Zhou Li'an valuing her so much, isn’t that just stepping on the faces of us old students?”

“Just a new student? Easy to say. Have you seen a second new student who can light up a thousand steles in one minute? Or have you seen a second new student who can crush the Mielan Society into dregs? Believe it or not, Yan Luoxi will crush you as easily as crushing a vegetable?”

Ya Heng of the Mielan Society was not weak in strength, but what was the result?

Nearly a hundred people besieged Yan Luoxi alone, not only failing to harm a single hair on her, but Ya Heng, the vice-president, was also counter-killed.

The Mielan Society’s losses yesterday alone were greater than their losses for an entire year.

Such a monstrous new student, as long as she doesn’t play with her own life, will sooner or later become a prodigy on both rankings, and it’s even possible for her to directly challenge the top spot!

“She’s opening a bank, hurry and go see!”

After recognizing Mingxi, a large wave of zombies, no, a large wave of gamblers, swarmed towards Skill Table 9, completely surrounding it within a minute.

Mingxi had already signed the bank opening agreement under the dealer’s supervision and had her capital verified; capital verification is necessary before opening a bank, without sufficient capital, one doesn’t even have the qualification to open a bank.

Here, it’s worth mentioning the awesomeness of the star god scepter; Yan Luoxi’s identity allows her to sign contracts and she will also be bound by skills like Wanlv Town Town.

Of course, what maintains absolute fairness on Green Field Star is not Longhua Country’s Wanlv Town Town, but Green Field Star’s own cultivated Ding Jie Tu.

It is also a Venerable-level Transcendent creature, with skill types similar ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) to Wanlv Town Town.

After Mingxi finished signing, the dealer took out a handheld device and scanned Emerald Green up and down.

“This is a Skill Detector; after inserting the corresponding Skill Stone, it can detect whether a Transcendent creature has mastered that skill.”

Mingxi understood, this was to prevent cheating.

The dealer quickly finished the confirmation.

Looking at the crowd gathered around the table, “The banker is opening a bank, the pet beast on the field is an Advanced Level demon, a grass-dual attribute pet beast Chengying Demon蛟, learning the intermediate skill Skill: Lin Zhen Mo Qiang, with a limit of 12 Skill Stones, varying quality of Skill Stones, blind selection, and a minimum of 6 Skill Stones.

Opening the market!

Guests who wish to bet on the ‘point’ or ‘fate’ please place your bets, hands off when set!

3 minutes countdown!”

As the dealer finished speaking, he pressed a button in front of him, and the other side of the long table changed, revealing fifteen square empty slots.

The two largest slots, one black and one red, on the left and right sides of the long table, represented the two possibilities for ‘fate’: black meant the banker’s pet beast could not succeed before the minimum, and red meant the opposite.

Therefore, they were also called Black Bank and Lucky Red.

And the thirteen slots in the middle horizontal row, with numbers 1-12 and ‘Extinct’ displayed at the bottom, represented the ‘point’ bets; as for the odds, except for ‘Extinct’ (meaning all 12 stones were used and still not learned), naturally, the smaller the number, the higher the odds.

These fifteen slots were for guests at the long table to place their bets.

But the crowd at the long table looked at each other.

No one actually stepped forward to bet.

“How should I bet on this?”

“It’s hard to choose.”

“Chengying Demon蛟 is an Advanced Level pet beast, learning an intermediate skill like Skill: Lin Zhen Mo Qiang shouldn’t be difficult, right? Should I bet on Lucky Red?”

“Did you graduate from elementary school? Who told you that an Advanced Level pet beast learning an intermediate skill isn’t difficult? Skill learning, in essence, depends on comprehension ability! It depends on the core competitive index of the skill; the level’s influence really isn’t the biggest.”

“I’ve been following this Table 9 for the past two days. Overall, it’s rare for Skill: Lin Zhen Mo Qiang to hit Lucky Red; out of about 40 or 50 tables opened, Lucky Red only appeared once, ‘Extinct’ appeared 8 times, and the rest were basically between 8 and 12.”

“Brother, you’re observing quite carefully, are you a ‘station sticker’?”

“Hehehe.” The brother smiled without speaking.

This person was indeed a professional ‘station sticker’ gambler.

A ‘station sticker’ refers to a gambler who focuses solely on one skill table.

“So, according to you, brother, do you think we should bet between 8 and 12?”

The brother, however, shook his head: “I can’t guarantee that. That Xiao Guniang is Yan Luoxi, you know? Who knows what her pet beast is like? This whole thing, in the end, still depends on talent.”

This was also why these people were hesitant and didn’t know how to bet.

Yan Luoxi was too unfamiliar.

But also too famous! So famous that people couldn’t judge her depth!

“Clap!”
