Chu Chen and the others spent an hour and a half on the food street before they finally filled their stomachs.
It wasn’t that they all had huge appetites, but mainly that the wait in line was too long.
Chu Chen glanced at his watch, noticing there were still twenty-five minutes left until two o’clock.
"It’s getting late, we should go settle the score now." With that said, he took the lead towards the entertainnt street.
The others, upon hearing this, showed expressions of excitent and quickly followed Chu Chen.
Even the bystanders who were still in line decided to follow along after seeing Chu Chen and his group leave.
A high-stakes bet of a hundred million was certainly not to be missed.
Twenty minutes later, Chu Chen and his group finally arrived at the Cyan Dragon Gambling Egg Pavilion.
A pavilion nad after the city was clearly an asset of the City Lord’s Mansion.
This place was several tis larger than the Black Mist Gambling Egg Pavilion, and its décor was far more luxurious; every random decoration was carved from a High-Rank Star Treasure.
Chu Chen sensed that the Star Power here was several tis more concentrated than outside, clearly indicating there was an array similar to a Cultivation Room that gathered the surrounding Star Power.
At this mont, the Cyan Dragon Gambling Egg Pavilion was already packed with people, ninety-nine percent of whom were there to watch the spectacle.
A corpulent middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked the staff beside him, "Have the two groups for the bet arrived yet?"
That staff mber quickly replied to the steward’s inquiry, "Steward Zhang, the people from Black Snake City have arrived, but the people from Celestial Star City have not yet co."
Upon hearing this, Steward Zhang frowned. The hundred-million wager brought unprecedented popularity to the Cyan Dragon Gambling Egg Pavilion, but most people were there just to watch, and very few were there to actually gamble on eggs.
However, since guests were guests, he couldn’t drive them away. So old patrons saw how packed it was and opted to go elsewhere, which greatly annoyed Steward Zhang.
At this mont, a commotion ca from the crowd as people blocking the entrance moved aside, clearing a path in the middle.
Seeing this, Steward Zhang hurried over, as such occurrences usually happened for two reasons: either an important figure had arrived, or the people involved in the bet had co.
Regardless of who it was, as the steward of the Gambling Egg Pavilion, he had to greet them.
When Steward Zhang saw Chu Chen and his group, he imdiately understood that the main participants of the high-stakes bet had arrived.
"Are you all from Celestial Star City?" Steward Zhang asked with a smile.
Chu Chen nodded in response and said, "Yes, may I know who you are..."
Steward Zhang introduced himself with a smile, "My na is Zhang Lihua, the general steward of the Cyan Dragon Gambling Egg Pavilion. You can just call Steward Zhang."
Chu Chen cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Apologies for the trouble, Steward Zhang. Are the people from Black Snake City already here?"
Steward Zhang waved his hand quickly and said, "No need to be courteous. The people from Black Snake City are waiting on the fifth floor. I’ll take you up."
"Alright, I appreciate your help, Steward Zhang."
Zhang Lihua had a good impression of Chu Chen. After ascending to the second floor, he quietly reminded Chu Chen, "There are many Gambling Egg Masters and important figures on the fifth floor. Once you get up there, be careful with your words. Offending them might cause so trouble."
Chu Chen was a bit surprised to hear this. He hadn’t expected the news of the bet to attract such significant figures.
"Thank you for the reminder, Steward Zhang," Chu Chen sincerely expressed his gratitude.
"You’re welco, no problem at all."
With Steward Zhang’s guidance, Chu Chen and the others reached the third floor, where there were noticeably fewer people.
Chu Chen was quite curious about this. Typically, the first and second floors were packed with people, yet the third floor was quite spacious. Why didn’t those people co up?
Steward Zhang seed to notice Chu Chen’s confusion and explained with a smile, "Starting from the third floor, we have a mbership system. Only mbers of our Gambling Egg Pavilion can access the third floor."
Realization dawned on Chu Chen, and he glanced at the fourth and fifth floors, asking, "Steward Zhang, what conditions must be t to access the fourth and fifth floors?"
Steward Zhang explained with a smile, "These two floors are also based on a mbership system. To beco a mber, one must spend a certain amount here. The third floor requires spending ten million, the fourth fifty million, and the fifth one hundred million."
Chu Chen was taken aback upon hearing this. Cyan Dragon City was indeed a large city, with a notable number of wealthy individuals.
He had just seen that the third floor had at least several hundred people, which ant all of them had spent over ten million.
They quickly reached the fifth floor, where Chu Chen noted that there were also quite a number of people. He estimated that there were at least a hundred people.
This surprised Chu Chen even more; that just this one floor’s consumption amounted to billions, truly extravagant beyond asure.
The people from Black Snake City sat quietly in a corner on the west side, engaging in careful conversations with each other.
They had evidently been cautioned by Steward Zhang as well, knowing that those who could appear here were all significant figures.
In sharp contrast to them were these so-called important figures, who scrutinized Chu Chen and the others without any restraint, occasionally expressing disappointnt.
To them, the bet between Chu Chen’s groups was just kids arguing; they wanted to see the Gambling Egg Master’s skills, not so petty squabble.
"Boring, everyone, I’ll take my leave first." A middle-aged man stood up and cupped his hands toward the others around him.
