Chu Chen was a bit surprised and asked the staff beside him, "Does your Gambling Egg Pavilion allow others to bid?"

"Yes, sir, our Gambling Egg Pavilion makes money from selling eggs. As for the buyback, it's merely to provide a guarantee for our customers."

Hearing this, Chu Chen finally understood. It seemed that most of the onlookers were shopkeepers who sold Beast Taming Eggs, hoping to pick up some bargains.

At this moment, a middle-aged man said to the elder, "Old Ghost Li, isn't one million two hundred and thirty thousand too low? After all, it's a double rare attribute. I'll offer one million three hundred thousand."

The elderly man surnamed Li cursed under his breath and said coldly to the middle-aged man, "Hmph, Younger Brother Zhang, you're not being very fair, are you? One million three hundred thousand—you're trying to pick up a bargain. I'll offer one million four hundred thousand."

The two exchanged barbs, and the price kept climbing.

The few others who intended to bid also withdrew. They didn't want to get involved in the grudge between the two.

Soon, the price broke through to one million five hundred thousand, but at this level, their bidding started to slow down, dropping from ten thousand to twenty thousand, and eventually to ten thousand increments.

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said, "One million five hundred fifty thousand."

Elder Li's face immediately turned grim. At this price, there was basically no profit left. It seemed a bit pointless to harm his interests just to spite someone.

"Hmph, you win. Let's see what price you manage to sell that Beast Taming Egg at." With that, the elder turned and left angrily.

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Safe travels, Old Ghost Li."

However, as soon as the elder left, the middle-aged man's smile vanished, and he hurried over to Chu Chen, asking in a low voice, "Brother, could you sell me that Red Flame Snake's Beast Taming Egg? I'll offer two hundred thirty thousand."

Chu Chen heard and smiled, nodding, "Sure."

The man looked overjoyed when he heard this.

The price of the Shadow Frost Rat exceeded his expectations by far, so letting the other party make up for it with the Red Flame Rat was no big deal.

The Gambling Egg Pavilion reclaimed eight ordinary Beast Taming Eggs and only got thirty thousand Alliance Coins for them, while the other two Beast Taming Eggs brought Chu Chen one million seven hundred eighty thousand in profits.

After calculations, Chu Chen earned a total of one million six hundred ten thousand from this gamble, making him an overnight success on the first floor.

"Brother Chu, you have such great luck! You should treat us to a late-night snack," Gu Zhen said excitedly.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he'd gambled on a superior quality Beast Taming Egg.

"That's no problem," Chu Chen said with a smile.

"Where are we heading next?" Gu Hui asked with a smile.

"Of course, we're going to the second or third floor. Brother Chu's luck is so good today, it would be a shame not to play a bit up there," Gu Zhen said excitedly.

Before Chu Chen and his group could respond, the staff member chimed in with a smile, "Yes, indeed, sir, your luck is truly rare today. If you try your luck upstairs, you might gain even more."

Hearing this, everyone's interest was piqued, and they all looked at Chu Chen.

Seeing this, Chu Chen smiled and said, "Well, since I've already earned so much, if I lose, I can just return it to them."

Everyone burst out laughing at his words.

"Dear guests, which floor would you like to go to this time?" the staff member asked with a smile.

Chu Chen thought for a moment and then said with a smile, "Let's go to the third floor."

Everyone was momentarily stunned, surprised at Chu Chen's boldness.

In fact, Chu Chen had his own reasons. Going to the fourth or fifth floor posed a risk of exposure, but the third floor was different. Not only could he earn more, but it was also safer.

After all, he was about to contract his third Guardian Beast and train three Guardian Beasts at once. Even with two Secret Realm shares, it was still a bit of a stretch. If there was a chance to make money, he naturally had to seize it.

At this moment, an unharmonious voice sounded from the back of the crowd.

"Relying solely on luck to go up to the third floor, how arrogant."

Everyone turned to the direction of the sound and saw a white-haired elder.

Chu Chen's expression changed when he recognized the elder as the Patriarch Li Dehai of the Li Family.

Lu Hongfei said solemnly, "Patriarch Li, you're mistaken. The gambling egg is all about luck. Does Patriarch Li have some unique insight?"

At this time, a short and stout elder next to Li Dehai snorted coldly and said, "You're an outsider; how dare you presume to understand the art of gambling eggs? It's laughable."

Lu Hongfei was infuriated and pointed at the elder, saying coldly, "Do you have some method to identify these Beast Taming Eggs?"

"The art of gambling eggs is profound, not something a person from a frontier town like you can comprehend."

Everyone looked at Chu Chen and his group with scorn at these words.

Just as Lu Hongfei was about to explode, the elder spoke again, "I can give you a chance to prove yourself; do you have the courage?"

Lu Hongfei, without much hesitation, immediately replied, "Why wouldn't I?"

Just as Gu Zhen tried to intervene, it was too late.

"Sigh, if I'm not mistaken, this is the famous Master Jia," Gu Zhen said solemnly.

"Master Jia? Is he very formidable?" Chu Chen asked, puzzled.

"His strength is only at the Soul Master Level, but his skill at gambling eggs is extremely high. Out of ten Beast Taming Eggs, he can select two or three high-quality ones at least. He's highly sought after by major families and holds a prestigious position in Black Mist City."

Chu Chen frowned at these words, realizing that Master Jia was obviously under Li Dehai's orders to cause them trouble.

At this moment, Lu Hongfei realized he had fallen into a trap.

Master Jia beamed and said, "Excellent, then let's gamble on the fifth floor. The loser will not only pay for both parties' gambling eggs but also compensate for mental anguish. Let's call it ten million. Do you dare?"

Lu Hongfei's face changed instantly at these words. Although he could muster up three million, it was virtually his entire fortune, not to mention being subject to ridicule, which made him extremely angry.

Hearing the taunting words of the other party and seeing Lu Hongfei's extremely grim expression, Chu Chen was also provoked.

Instead of answering immediately, he turned to Zhang Yuyan and asked, "How much money do you have?"

Zhang Yuyan was momentarily stunned but quickly realized what he was planning. She didn't intervene because she knew Chu Chen wouldn't act unless he was confident.

"I've spent quite a bit recently, so there's not much left—probably just over fifty million," Zhang Yuyan said calmly.

Chu Chen coughed violently at her words, nearly startled.

"Can you lend it to me?"

Without hesitation, Zhang Yuyan took out a black card from her Spatial Ring and handed it to Chu Chen.
