Chapter 410 Betting
Chapter 410 Betting
The bustle and prosperity of Central Star City are indeed not exaggerated.
Neon lights flicker overhead, tall buildings stand tall, and light and shadow interweave.
Lu Yun, Ruiyun, Ophelia and several students walked together in the crowded crowd, looking around.
The light emitted by high-tech products and the dense tail flames of aircraft overhead complement each other, and the air is filled with the smell of burning ink and circuits.
As you pass by, all kinds of virtual stores open up one after another, and holographic advertisements dance before your eyes, showing the latest fashion trends from all over the universe or technological products that are rarely seen in the outside world.
Such a prosperous and noisy scene is rare even in the federal capital.
Lu Yun felt curious.
A gray area in a no-man's land can actually develop so prosperously.
At first he thought this place would be full of violence and crime, but now it seems that he was wrong.
Lu Yun looked up and saw a skyscraper looming among the intertwined buildings. Clouds and mist were rising from halfway up the tower, making it look mysterious and spectacular.
Dang Dang Dang——
suddenly.
A burst of rapid bell sounds rolled in from afar.
The pedestrians around all paused, excitement showing on their faces.
"Where did the bells come from?"
Ruiyun scratched his head and said he didn't know either.
He casually grabbed a passerby who was in a hurry and said, "Brother, I have something to ask you."
"Go, go, don't waste my time."
Ruiyun took out a stack of banknotes and put it in the other person's hand.
"Hey, boss, if you have any questions, just tell me. There is nothing I don't know about this land!" The man's face immediately became flattering.
"What's with that bell? Why is everyone rushing over there?"
The man put the banknotes away and said with a smile, "You all have extraordinary auras. You must be young nobles visiting from out of town, right?"
"You may not know this, but this bell rings from the Skyscraper Tower in the city center. Whenever the bell rings, it signifies that a genius on the Skyscraper Ranking has entered the tower again."
"I see."
Ruiyun nodded in understanding, "So these people are just here to watch the fun?"
"Of course not. They all go there to place bets."
"Every time the Sky Tower opens, the tower owner will open a betting platform for anyone who enters. Everyone can participate freely. As long as the bet wins, they can get ten or even a hundred times the profit.
So every time the bell rings, many people go over to place their bets, and if they are late, the market will close."
"Do you have any other questions? If there is no one else, I would like to join in the fun." the man asked.
"You go."
Ruiyun nodded and let him go.
After hearing the man's explanation, everyone became more curious and followed the pedestrians towards the Skylon Tower.
……
at the same time.
Inside the skyscraper, the vast room was packed.
Many people even had no seats and had to squeeze in the aisles.
But he still couldn't hide his enthusiasm, and stared at the open space in the middle of the field with fiery eyes.
In the open space, a young man sat peacefully, with dozens of spotlights focused on him.
"I heard that Yan Jun is going to attack the tenth level today. I wonder if he can succeed."
"Is that even worth thinking about? The last time Yan Jun broke through nine levels in a row, he just took one look at the tenth level and said he couldn't pass it, but he will definitely break it next time! He must have made every effort to prepare before coming here."
"There are only ten levels in the Sky Tower. Legend has it that if you pass the tenth level, you will become the true master of the Sky Tower!"
"Even if you can't get through, with Yan Jun's strength and talent, you will be a guest of honor wherever you go and live a worry-free life."
"That's true. I just hope he can succeed and let me make a fortune!"
"..."
Relying on Ruiyun's financial ability, everyone successfully bought a few seats.
At this moment, I was sitting in my seat, listening to the discussions of people around me.
"Hey Lu Yun, did you buy it?"
Ruiyun suddenly leaned over and asked in a low voice.
"buy what?"
"Place your bet! I'm betting one million dollars that this guy can't break through the tenth level."
"What about you? Don't you want to play?"
Ruiyun picked it up.
Lu Yun shook his head. He was not interested in these things. His main purpose in coming here was to solve the troubles encountered by the princes.
But, he has already arrived, but where are the princes?
"Xiao Ai, hasn't the prince replied yet?"
"No."
Lu Yun felt a little confused and asked Xiao Ai to check what was going on.
At the same time, in a private room somewhere.
Fang Xie took a puff of snuff and looked intoxicated.
Looking at the young man sitting quietly below, he asked calmly, "Has Luo Xun replied?"
The subordinate immediately responded: "There is no response. It seems that he is unwilling to cooperate with the boss."
"Hehehe..."
Fang Xie sneered twice: "This greedy fool, it's a waste to have the Sky Tower in his hands.
If it weren't for his business acumen, I wouldn't want to waste it. He really thought that our Fang Xie was willing to eat from the same pot with him!"
The subordinate flattered him, "That Luo Xun is blind and doesn't recognize Mount Tai. He doesn't understand your ability, boss.
Once Yan Jun takes over the Sky Tower, Central Star City will be completely under the Boss's control. By then, he'll probably rush over like a dog, wagging his tail and begging for food."
Fang Xie seemed to see that scene happening, and his smile became even brighter.
"Let Yanjun start as soon as possible."
"Yes."
……
"Master, found it!"
I heard Xiao Ai's surprised voice, but soon Xiao Ai said "Huh".
"what happened?"
"Master, the prince's condition seems to be a little off. I will project the video for you to see for yourself."
In the picture, Wang Hou moves slowly, following an obese middle-aged man, with dull eyes and a numb expression.
Although she was dressed very gorgeously, she could not hide the loneliness in her eyes.
"Who is this fat guy?"
"We've found out that he's the owner of the Skylon Tower and the head of the Lu family's group in this area."
Lu Yun turned off the video: "Where is he now?"
"Searching..."
Lu Yun stood up while waiting.
"Where are you going? The tower challenge is about to begin." Ruiyun looked curiously at Lu Yun who stood up and prepared to leave.
"Look, I have something to take care of."
Lu Yun waved his hand and walked away along the aisle.
"Come back early, we will board the ship at 6 pm."
Lu Yun raised his hand to indicate that he understood.
Soon, Xiao Ai successfully hacked into the surveillance network inside the Skylon Tower and found the whereabouts of Luo Xun, the tower master.
"Master, the last time the surveillance camera captured him was ten minutes ago. He entered his office on the third floor and hasn't come out since."
"understood."
Lu Yun quickly arrived at the third floor.
Two guards came over and said, "Sir, the area ahead is not open to the public. Please go back."
Lu Yun glanced at the two of them and said, "Tell Luo Xun that support has arrived from the capital."
The two men looked at each other, then asked Lu Yun to wait where he was while the other went into the house to report.
