Chapter 1181: Major Event
Old Ghost only found out that Ling Feng raised the stakes when transferring the company.
His reaction was the same as Du Hao’s, feeling a bit confused and thinking Ling Feng didn’t need to take such a risk.
But Ling Feng insisted, and the old man didn’t say much, just sighed and said, "Young people these days have much more guts than we did back then!"
Ling Feng chuckled: "Old man, I’m not being reckless, I’m doing this because I’m confident!"
"Good, if you win this time, the whole world will know about you!"
Old Ghost laughed and continued, "In the future, if you want to go to a casino, I bet no one will dare play with you!"
Ling Feng smiled wryly: "It doesn’t matter, I’m not really interested in gambling. I just wonder if the Gambling King competition might be affected!"
"It shouldn’t be. Everyone paid to participate, and it’s for charity, so they can’t just quit because you’re joining, right?"
Old Ghost paused and continued, "Besides, if Pu Fuwan knows about your thing with Han Chang, he’ll definitely support you strongly!"
Ling Feng understood the old man’s implication quickly and nodded, smiling: "Exactly, if I win, it will bring a huge attraction to his competition and draw a lot of attention!"
"That’s the idea!" Old Ghost agreed.
Finally, his company was transferred to Ling Feng’s name for a fee of one yuan.
After that, funds from Du Hao’s side were transferred to the company account.
Seeing the money credited, Ling Feng squinted: "Han, get ready to bleed!"
After a busy morning, Ling Feng was about to head back to the hotel, when Pu Fuwan, who got the news, called and asked where he was.
Ling Feng said he was going back to the hotel, and Pu Fuwan immediately said, "Then I’ll wait for you in the hotel lobby. We’ll discuss when we meet!"
Ling Feng smiled, already guessing what he wanted to say.
Sure enough, after arriving back at the hotel, as soon as they met, Pu Fuwan grabbed Ling Feng’s arm: "Brother, how come you didn’t inform me about such a big thing!"
"I didn’t think it was a big deal, worried that you’d be too busy, so I didn’t call." Ling Feng laughed.
"Isn’t this a big deal?"
Pu Fuwan’s eyes widened: "Your bet with Han Chang is now known all over the gambling world!"
"News spreads that fast!"
Ling Feng laughed: "Well, it’s no surprise, there’s a live broadcast tomorrow anyway, everyone will know then!"
"Brother, come with me, we need to talk seriously!"
Pu Fuwan said and dragged him towards the inside of the hotel.
They didn’t go to the casino but entered the hotel’s café, sat quietly in a corner, and Pu Fuwan lowered his voice: "Do you know what preparations Han Chang has made?"
"Not really sure, but I don’t care!" Ling Feng shook his head.
"The guy is a veteran gambler, purely in gambling skills, brother, you may not like to hear this, but you probably can’t match him!" Pu Fuwan said.
"Mm, I know."
Ling Feng nodded: "But I’m not just relying on gambling skills to beat him!"
"That’s the key!"
Pu Fuwan immediately said: "I just heard from some casino friends that the guy is setting up something weird in the gambling hall, like a glass house, probably you two will gamble there!"
"Oh?"
Ling Feng, hearing this, thought for a moment and understood.
What the glass house was wasn’t clear, but it was obvious it was meant to counter him, perhaps rendering his Divine Sense and even Mind Soul Art ineffective inside!
"He’s definitely prepared, but it doesn’t matter, Han is bound to lose today!" Ling Feng said.
"Brother, are you sure of this?" Pu Fuwan asked seriously.
"Yes, Pu big brother, just wait for the show!" Ling Feng laughed.
"If that’s the case..."
Pu Fuwan contemplated for a moment and then said, "After you beat Han Chang, we’ll discuss the Gambling King competition again!"
"Sure, no problem!" Ling Feng nodded.
Back in the room, Yu Linglong wasn’t there; she had gone alone to those few relics and hadn’t returned yet.
Ling Feng sat down, closed his eyes, and waited silently.
Not sure how much time had passed, suddenly light flashed in the room, and looking up, Ling Feng saw Yu Linglong had come back. Ling Feng got up and asked: "How was it?"
"There were some changes, but I don’t know why." Yu Linglong said.
Ling Feng held her hand and led her to the sofa to sit down: "What kind of changes?"
Yu Linglong looked at him: "Foggy mist appeared around those places, like some kind of isolation layer."
"Meaning, are these places being sealed?" Ling Feng asked.
"Yes, I tried at the edge, for now, it’s barely passable, but with a noticeable drag, probably soon no one will be able to pass through the fog." Yu Linglong nodded.
Ling Feng looked puzzled: "Why is this happening?"
"Not sure, might need some time to monitor further!" Yu Linglong said.
"No big deal."
Ling Feng smiled and then patted her hand: "You’ve worked hard today, want something nice to eat as a reward?"
Yu Linglong looked at him, pouted: "I don’t want seafood, I’ve had enough!"
"Then let’s have something light, how about buying some fruit?" Ling Feng smiled and asked.
"Buy? Can any fruit outside taste as good as those in Nine Heavens?" Yu Linglong questioned.
"Then let’s go back to Nine Heavens!" Ling Feng nodded.
Yu Linglong looked at him: "Are you sure? If we go back now, everyone will probably notice what’s going on between us, are you ready for that attention?"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng realized this was the case and quickly shook his head: "Let’s wait until the gambling competition is over to go back!"
"Mm."
Yu Linglong nodded and then slowly leaned her head on his shoulder, saying nothing.
Both enjoyed this alone time, neither spoke, and the room suddenly became quiet.
But soon, the phone rang suddenly.
With their heads leaning on each other’s, when Ling Feng took out the phone, Yu Linglong saw the caller ID showed Hehua, giving Ling Feng a glance.
"It’s that girl from Shankou Village, wonder why she suddenly thought of me."
Ling Feng smiled and explained.
Yu Linglong’s eyes were gentle, without showing any unusual emotions, she simply said: "Answer it, might be urgent!"
"Mm."
Ling Feng answered the call: "Hehua, you’re looking for me?"
"Ling brother, hurry up, something seems wrong in the mountains!"
Hehua’s tone was urgent, speaking loudly.
