In just a few minutes, Chu Chen was surrounded by a dense crowd, with praise streaming endlessly.

"Younger Brother Chu truly is a dragon among men, with boundless potential."

"Naturally, if Younger Brother Chu doesn't mind, how about we become sworn brothers?"

"I heard Brother Chu is interested in gambling on eggs. I have a comprehensive guide on gambling eggs, which I can give you to browse. We can also exchange insights."

Faced with such a scene, Chu Chen felt his head spinning, as if countless bees were buzzing around his ears.

He finally understood why Leng Ningshuang would develop a social anxiety disorder.

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. Faced with their good intentions, he could only nod and smile incessantly.

At this moment, a discordant voice came from the east side.

"Gambling eggs isn't about fighting; it requires accumulated experience over time."

Everyone quickly turned to look and found that the speaker was Shi Huai'an from Qilin City.

The few gambling egg masters beside him also echoed, "Brother Shi is right, not everyone can learn to gamble on eggs; it requires patience and perseverance."

"Brother Cang's words differ; gambling on eggs relies more on talent."

"Recently, there have been some ignorant people challenging our expertise with their hobbies, truly absurd."

Among the five gambling egg masters, the only one who didn't speak was Wei Xishan.

Chu Chen felt somewhat inexplicable about their malice.

But he quickly figured out the key point.

These masters are all fame-seekers. Chu Chen's arrival stole their spotlight, naturally displeasing them. Moreover, they aren't from Cyan Dragon City, so they aren't afraid of offending Chu Chen. This is also why Wei Xishan didn't speak, as being from Cyan Dragon City, offending Chu Chen would make it hard for him here.

Chu Chen certainly wouldn't spoil them with their malice.

"Oh, really? I have a different view. I think luck plays a significant part in egg gambling," Chu Chen said a bit unhappily.

Hearing this, Shi Huai'an sneered, "Haha, how absurd. Are you implying that our gambling on eggs relies on luck?"

Hearing this, Chu Chen remained extremely calm.

Shi Huai'an was indeed shrewd, using a sentence to put Chu Chen in opposition to everyone.

As the few were preparing to laugh at Chu Chen, his next words left them defenseless.

"I'm not saying everyone relies on luck, but you four. Although you've all won championships, it's only because your luck was just a little better than others."

Chu Chen's words resonated with the crowd, as no one wanted to admit they were inferior.

Chu Chen's words directly highlighted that his egg gambling skills weren't weaker than Shi Huai'an and the others, just less lucky.

The four of them looked at the crowd's discussion, their expressions turning grim.

"Since you say luck is significant in gambling eggs, do you dare to gamble with us?" Shi Huai'an sneered.

Chu Chen didn't answer, instead thinking about Wu Yingxiong's betting event. Although he didn't know how many people had bet, if he accepted Shi Huai'an and the others' challenge, surely more would bet.

Seeing Chu Chen's delay in answering, Shi Huai'an and the others naturally thought he was scared.

"If you don't dare to gamble, it's fine. Just apologize to us to prevent others from saying we're bullying the weak," Shi Huai'an said coldly.

Chu Chen glanced at him, then said deeply, "Why wouldn't I dare? How do you want to gamble?"

Outside the Egg Pavilion, the onlookers suddenly boiled over.

"This Chu Chen is really bold to gamble against four gambling egg masters."

"He sure is flying high now."

"It's quite normal. If I were taken in by Hall Master Long, I'd be flying high too."

"Don't talk nonsense; he's a big figure in Cyan Dragon City now. If he holds a grudge, you'll suffer."

"What are you afraid of? If this kid tarnishes Hall Master Long's reputation, who's to say who will suffer?"

At this moment, Lu Hongfei's expression was extremely unpleasant. He never agreed to Chu Chen's participation in the egg gambling contest, fearing it would leave a bad impression on Long Batian. Now, Chu Chen is actually gambling against four masters; this is just begging for punishment.

"It's over. Brother Chen is too impulsive. Why doesn't City Lord Dong stop him?" Wang Lu said anxiously.

At that moment, Zhang Yuyan, observing the worried crowd, couldn't help but say softly, "You don't need to be tense. Chu Chen won't lose."

Hearing this, the few glanced at Zhang Yuyan, full of puzzlement.

Zhang Yuyan whispered an explanation: This involves Chu Chen's secret; I can't say much.

The group exchanged surprised looks, their lips curling into an intriguing smile.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuyan blushed, clearly understanding what they thought.

She quickly waved her hand, saying, "Don't misunderstand; I found out by chance."

Wang Lu smiled and said, "Right, right, we believe you."

Seeing their skeptical looks, Zhang Yuyan realized they didn't believe.

She tried explaining further but only received their intriguing smiles again.

Helplessly, she could only blush, turning to the screen to see what would happen next.

Seeing Chu Chen accept the challenge, Shi Huai'an was taken aback. He had expected the opponent to back down and apologize, not that they would so stubbornly agree.

Shi Huai'an turned to the three to inquire, "Do you have any plans?"

"If we bet too big, it might seem like bullying juniors. Let's bet he won't make the top fifty," Cang Jie said solemnly.

Hearing this, Shi Huai'an nodded, "Let's do as Brother Cang said."

"Kid, don't say we bullied you. If you don't make it to the top fifty, just apologize to us."

Hearing this, Chu Chen nodded, "Alright, but if I make it to the top fifty, will you compensate me with an immortal-level beast taming egg?"

Hearing this, Shi Huai'an and the others' expressions changed, then they burst out laughing.

"Have you lost your mind? You think immortal-quality beast taming eggs are as common as cabbages? It's not that we don't have them, but even if we did, we wouldn't give them to you."

Chu Chen frowned, wondering if there wasn't an immortal-quality beast taming egg in every egg gambling contest.

Dong Hanyang came to Chu Chen's side and whispered, "The egg gambling contest has been held nineteen times. There is only one immortal-quality beast taming egg every ten contests."

Hearing this, Chu Chen finally realized, not feeling awkward as he anticipated their refusal.

"Since you can't produce an immortal-level beast taming egg, let's make it smaller and bet an epic-level upper-grade beast taming egg," Chu Chen said coldly.

"This is acceptable, so it's settled," Shi Huai'an said deeply.

For Chu Chen, given his current wealth, an epic-quality beast taming egg wasn't that significant. However, for Shi Huai'an and others, it was quite valuable.

After they made the bet, a plump middle-aged man approached.

Seeing this, everyone greeted, "Greetings, Steward Zhang."

This was Steward Zhang of the Cyan Dragon Gambling Egg Pavilion. He responded with a smile, indicating these were regulars here.

Steward Zhang smiled as he approached Chu Chen, "When I saw Brother Chu, I felt he was extraordinary. Looks like I was right; congratulations on becoming Hall Master Long's prized student. The future is limitless."

Hearing this, Chu Chen smiled and replied, "Thanks to Brother Zhang's blessing."

After chatting for a bit, Steward Zhang lowered his voice, "Those guys are tough to deal with, but they might show me some respect. How about I mediate, and we end it here?"

Hearing this, Chu Chen bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Zhang, but I'm confident in making the top fifty, and since they insist on gifting an epic-quality beast taming egg, I have no reason not to accept."

Hearing this, Zhang didn't insist, knowing he had done his part.

He quickly went to the second-floor stairs and, after a short speech, announced the start of the egg gambling contest.
