991 A Hot Popularity

An hour pa.s.sed quickly. There were only ten minutes left, but Ye Feng still did not get anything.

By now, nearly half of the contestants had lost all their chips and were eliminated.

Among the remaining players, Hong Jiajun had already won more than 10 million chips.

An electronic display board hung on the wall of the hall, showing the results of the top 64 contestants.

The numbers on the display board were constantly changing. It was possible that they would be kicked out by the latecomers very soon after they entered the rankings. The compet.i.tion was quite intense.

At this moment, the 64th contestant’s score was 1.2 million.

And Ye Feng only had 100,000. He only had ten minutes left.

In other words, if he did not have more than 1.2 million chips in his hands within ten minutes, he would be eliminated.

The organizers in the spectator stands were all puzzled.

Based on what Hong Xiaotian and Xiao Changqing had said, this young man’s strength should be pretty good, but why hadn’t he made a move yet?

Hong Xiaotian and Xiao Changqing naturally knew the reason. Ye Feng did not come here for the Gambling King Tournament, he was here to find Ah Can.

However, it seemed that he did not gain anything.

Seeing that there was not much time left, Ye Feng finally joined the bet.

At this moment, there were only about a hundred people left in the hall. The seats were still very loose, so they randomly found a seat and sat down.

Hualala…

The dealer shook the dice cup and made a few fancy movements before smashing it on the table. “The bet is set.”

Ye Feng casually threw the 100,000 chips to ‘big’. The others also placed their bets.

When the dealer opened the dice cup, the three dice were 4 points, 5 points, and 5 points respectively. Big!

Ye Feng’s chips immediately doubled to 200,000.

The others were also happy and sad. Those who won were overjoyed, while those who lost were gloomy.

A few more people lost all their chips and were eliminated.

Ye Feng raised his head and looked at Hong Xiaotian. Coincidentally, Hong and Xiao were also looking at him. The three of them exchanged a look.

Hong Xiaotian had already made arrangements. These eliminated people would be invited to the second floor to drink tea and watch the battle. It was guaranteed that no one would leave before the end.

If someone insisted on leaving, the Xiao family would naturally stop them.

If he really encountered an expert like Ah Can, even the Xiao family couldn’t stop him, so he didn’t have to worry.

Because Ye Feng had set up a third line of defense, the Golden Soup Security guards were still guarding the outer perimeter, ensuring that not a single fly would fly out.

With these three lines of defense, as long as Ah Can came to the scene, he wouldn’t be able to leave easily.

Slowly retracting his gaze, Ye Feng turned his attention back to the gambling game.

Another two minutes pa.s.sed, and there were less than eight minutes left.

In this round, he directly put the 200,000 chips on ‘big’ and won another round.

The chips immediately became 400,000.

In the third and fourth rounds, he continued to play poker and doubled his chips again. His chips directly became 1.6 million.

At this moment, the compet.i.tion time had just ended.

In the end, Ye Feng was ranked sixty-fourth with 1.6 million chips.

The player who had been pushed to 65th place by him had 1.55 million chips in his hands. He was only one step away.

The organizers on the spectator stands looked at each other in shock.

“No wonder Mr. Hong and Mr. Xiao are so impressed by this young man. His strength is really not bad.”

“That’s right. He only attacked in the last ten minutes and actually managed to enter the next round. His strength is really impressive.”

“He placed four bets in total and did not miss a single one. The success rate is 100%. If he did not waste the first 50 minutes, how much money would he have won?”

“Amazing…”

Everyone seemed to have discovered a new species, and they praised Ye Feng. Their attention was even more than Hong Jiajun who had won more than 15 million.

After all, Hong Jiajun had won the t.i.tle of Gambling King twice in a row. This result was completely within expectations.

Instead, it was Ye Feng, the dark horse that suddenly appeared, that made them pay more attention to him.

It seemed that it was just as Xiao Changqing had said. This year’s Gambling King was still a bit of a mystery.

Everyone turned to look at Hong Xiaotian, thinking that he would be worried for Hong Jiajun.

But unexpectedly, Hong Xiaotian’s face also revealed joy, as if he was happy for this dark horse.

Could it be that this young man had already joined the Hong family?

Everyone was in a bad mood. They had wanted to wait until the compet.i.tion ended to rope Ye Feng in.

Now, it seemed that the hope was a little slim.

After the first round of the compet.i.tion, more than half of the contestants were eliminated. The originally crowded hall immediately relaxed.

The players who had successfully entered the next round all pretended to be relaxed and chatted. The atmosphere seemed to be quite harmonious.

But Ye Feng could feel the undercurrents in this relaxed atmosphere.

The emcee went on stage again. “First of all, congratulations to the sixty-four contestants present for successfully entering the second round of the compet.i.tion.”

“The second round of the compet.i.tion will use a free pairing method. Each contestant can choose the opponent they want to challenge. If the other party accepts the challenge, the two of them will automatically form a bet.”

“The content of the compet.i.tion will be decided by the two of you. The time limit for the compet.i.tion is thirty minutes. When the time is up, the winner takes all. The loser will be eliminated immediately, and the chips will automatically belong to the other party…”

After the host announced the rules, many people immediately looked at Ye Feng with malicious eyes.
