And the pot was actually as high as 30 million yuan.
However, the patrons in the glass rooms were incredibly powerful or wealthy, so they were only slightly surprised by how much was staked. What truly shocked them was the number of points.
For 0.5 points to appear, it suggested that the Jokers were in this round.
However, without any certainty very few people would bet 0.5.
!!
After all, there were only two Jokers; the chance of them appearing was extremely low.
Besides, there was a win threshold of plus or minus 1 to 3 points every round; even without betting the exact 0.5 points, one could still win.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFor example, suppose if the number of points in this round was 22.5, and the win threshold was +2 and -1. In this case, all the points from 21.5, 21, 21.5, 22.5, 23, 23.5, 24 and 24.5 would be considered winning points. Of course, the person who accurately bet on ‘22.5’ itself would get the most money; the bigger the difference from the exact points, the lower the payout.
The number of times the Jokers appeared was too low, and everyone had the mindset that they did not matter. It was rare for anyone to bet on the 0.5 points, since the win threshold allowed them to win without it.
Practically no one bet on any of the 0.5 points at the gambling table this time, but after seeing the bet from room no. 9, everyone scrambled to follow them.
Even if they did not believe that there would be a Joker, they would place their bet on the points close to theirs.
The second whistle sounded—betting was over.
The dealer reached for the cards. Amidst this atmosphere fraught with anticipation, the four cards were revealed to everyone.
7 of Hearts, Jack of Hearts, Ace of Spades, and a Joker.
It was exactly 19.5 points.
Everyone was ecstatic because they had won. At the same time, they could not help but look towards room no. 9, wondering how they had managed to guess the exact number of points every time.
Was that really just based on guessing?!
But, how would they be able to see every move on the gambling table while so high up? For them to see the cards clearly despite all that fancy shuffling, and memorize the positions of all the cards—that’s impossible!
Even with eyes as sharp as an eagle’s, how can they remember the constantly changing positions of every single card?
Thinking about it carefully, such a feat was actually rather terrifying.
A person who could perform such an extraordinary feat must possess a staggering amount of ability.

Song Wenqi looked at the real-time transfer of cash on his phone in satisfaction, and got up.
“Brat, let’s go.”
Lu Ning rose and followed behind him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe way Song Wenqi’s lackeys looked at Lu Ning had changed.
No wonder Big Brother hadn’t given up on calling her for so long. She’s so amazing, she’ll definitely be useful to Big Brother! Not only in this, she would definitely be a powerful ally in other aspects!
It’s hard to believe she’s only a high school girl!
When they walked out into the special passageway, the lights in room no. 9 went dark. Wails of dismay and regret came from below.
Why didn’t I follow their lead back in those two games?!
After emerging from the special passageway, they still had to pass by the venue below. Their majestic figures instantly drew everyone’s attention.
Song Wenqi and his lackeys have never known the meaning of the term, ‘low profile’; they had always stood out like a sore thumb. On the other hand, Lu Ning barely had any presence about her as she shrank her profile and quietly hid among them. This effect was what she had hoped for.
However, while the patrons below did not pay much attention to Lu Ning, the patrons in the glass rooms did.
“Go, see if we can find out their identities. Especially the one dressed entirely in black.”
“Understood!”
He was not the only person to do this—three others had also ordered their subordinates to investigate the one in black beside Song Wenqi…
