Chapter 1206: Come to Help
Ling Feng didn’t know where this woman’s confidence came from, and he didn’t want to get entangled, so he sat down in his place.
The draw continued, and soon people who drew the number for this table came over with bitter expressions.
In their view, competing at the same table as Ling Feng meant they were pretty much out of the running for the top positions.
This tournament only rewarded the top three with high prize money, with the first place earning the Gambling King title and a whopping 4 billion US Dollars.
No one thought they could become the Gambling King now; that spot was reserved for Ling Feng. However, the second and third positions were still up for grabs since even the third place could win 200 million US Dollars, at least recouping the registration fee and making a bit extra.
Ling Feng was unaware of what everyone was thinking. After sitting down, each time someone came to sit, he would smile and nod politely.
With the drawing done, two tables were filled, and the evening session began.
Tonight’s game was simple: clear nine people’s chips, and the remaining nine would advance to tomorrow’s finals.
Nobody wanted to be the unlucky one eliminated.
So when the game started, everyone became tight players, guarding their chips and reluctant to toss in a single one!
Ling Feng had anticipated this situation, and helplessly participated hand after hand, not bothering to use Divine Sense to cheat, just relying on luck.
The long and tedious game went on, and sure enough, Ling Feng felt a bit fatigued.
After two hours, the first player was eliminated.
A contestant at Table 2 was directly cleared of chips by the lady in blue.
Once someone left, the atmosphere at the table became slightly more vibrant, and everyone perked up.
Then, because of increased blinds, players with insufficient chips, after posting big blinds and failing to win the pot, were forced to leave!
Despite this, the initially planned four-hour game time was extended by an hour, and the tenth place was finally decided.
With the match stopping, Ling Feng’s chip count was 1 billion, still the highest among the nine remaining players.
The blue-clad woman was in second place; due to her outstanding performance, she took several players’ chips and had 800 million now.
It was now past 1 a.m. After Pu Fuwan announced the finalists, everyone dispersed.
Yu Linglong had already gone back to her room to rest, so Ling Feng left the gambling hall alone.
As he prepared to enter the elevator, he heard hurried footsteps behind him and turned around to find the lady in blue approaching!
She was obviously heading towards him. As she reached him, she sneered and asked, "Are you ready?"
Ling Feng felt a bit helpless, frowning as he looked at her, "Ready for what?"
"To be completely wiped out and lose all your chips!" the blue-clad woman said provocatively.
"Oh, you mean that? Sorry, I don’t need to prepare because you can’t possibly beat me!" Ling Feng sneered.
"Is that so? Even though your luck is off the charts, I have ways to counter your luck. Let’s see tomorrow!"
The blue-clad woman gave a wicked smile and turned to leave!
Ling Feng was speechless, watching her back and wondering where this weirdo had come from, and why she was targeting him.
After shaking his head helplessly, he turned and entered the elevator.
Returning to his room, he found the lights on but Yu Linglong was not in the living room. Ling Feng checked the bedroom and saw she was already asleep.
When Ling Feng returned, Yu Linglong opened her eyes and smiled, "You’re back?"
"Mm, go back to sleep. I’ll wash up and rest too!"
Ling Feng nodded and headed to the bathroom.
After he finished washing up, Yu Linglong was sitting on the sofa wrapped in her robe, waiting for him.
Ling Feng came over and asked, "Why aren’t you sleeping?"
"I wasn’t very tired, just bored being alone, so I lay down for a bit," Yu Linglong said.
Ling Feng acknowledged, sat beside her, and gently wrapped his arm around her shoulders, "It’ll be over after tomorrow. I won’t participate in such boring tournaments anymore!"
"Boring?"
Yu Linglong turned to look at him, "A tournament with a 4 billion US Dollar prize, and you say it’s boring?"
"Even though the money’s a lot, the process itself is indeed quite dull!" Ling Feng shrugged.
"If others heard you say that, they’d probably be infuriated, thinking you’re deliberately taunting them!" Yu Linglong laughed.
"Heh, I’m not that arrogant!"
Ling Feng chuckled and continued, "Did you see the woman in blue during tonight’s match?"
"I noticed her, what’s up?" Yu Linglong asked.
"Nothing much, she challenged me for some reason, I don’t know why!" Ling Feng laughed and said.
"Maybe she’s skilled at gambling, so she’s not convinced about you?" Yu Linglong speculated.
Ling Feng nodded, "You’re right, but what she said was a bit strange; she mentioned having a way to counter my luck, I wonder what it is."
"Oh?"
Yu Linglong was taken aback, then thought for a moment, "Maybe she has some secret method? But don’t worry, I’m here!"
"Your Compendium of Array Formations is more powerful than mine, help me keep an eye out!" Ling Feng nodded.
"Alright, I’ll call Yang Guang over in the morning. If she tries anything, she won’t succeed!" Yu Linglong said.
Ling Feng was moved, and he leaned over to gently kiss her forehead, "You’re so kind!"
Yu Linglong smiled slightly, saying nothing, just leaning into his embrace.
The two of them sat embraced for a few hours until the sun rose.
After Yu Linglong went to Nine Heavens, Ling Feng had a wash, ordered breakfast, and waited for the match to start.
When Yu Linglong returned, she didn’t just bring Yang Guang, but also Li Fei’er and Ye Qian!
Seeing them, Ling Feng smiled and asked, "Why did you all come?"
"We’re worried about you. Today is the final battle, and we’re here to help you win the prize!" Li Fei’er said.
Yang Guang’s hair had grown out a bit, now a shoulder-length bob, and she nodded, "I took your money, so I have to work for you. It’s my responsibility!"
"You should help me!"
Ling Feng thought about having given her 200 million and felt a bit of heartache.
As for Ye Qian, Ling Feng turned to her and asked, "Why are you here too?"
"I was supposed to come. Chief Zhang arranged for me to be here to keep an eye on things!"
Ye Qian laughed and added, "There are many mysterious techniques here in Southeast Asia, and Chief Zhang was worried you might get caught up in something!"
