CHAPTER 1039: CHAPTER 1037: ENTERTAINMENT ACTIVITIES

Inside the room, the atmosphere could no longer be described as cold; it was downright chilling.

It had already been mentioned that both sides had decided to become outright enemies!

Now it was time to be completely honest with each other!

However, everyone knew that being completely honest also meant breaking all pretenses!

"Let’s go again!" Lu Xiaobu picked up the dice shaker.

"Let’s go!" Lin Feng picked his up as well.

"Clatter! Clatter! Clatter!"

Their actions were no longer casual but filled with caution.

Especially Lu Xiaobu, who was exceedingly careful.

Lin Feng must have played these games often and surely has some tricks up his sleeve.

He, on the other hand, had barely dabbled in this area.

Trying to win with sheer luck was almost impossible!

Hold on!

Luck?!

Lu Xiaobu suddenly smiled. Perhaps he really could win against Lin Feng through luck!

He almost forgot he had a tool called Luck Aura!

Though it was costly, calculated by the second, it could transform the mundane into something extraordinary!

Of course, that’s only if conditions are met, and right now, they very much are.

Luck Aura, activate!

Feeling the wasteful amount decrease, Lu Xiaobu felt at ease.

However, he still maintained a serious expression.

He couldn’t let Lin Feng notice, or there’d be trouble!

However!

Who was Lin Feng?!

This was the man who had staked half his life on Lu Xiaobu; how could he not notice something was off?!

In fact!

Initially, he had full confidence in defeating Lu Xiaobu in this round, as he had some knowledge of gambling techniques.

But the moment Lu Xiaobu relaxed even slightly, all the hairs on Lin Feng’s body stood on end, filling him with a sense of foreboding.

Although Lu Xiaobu quickly regained his composure, Lin Feng was certain that his momentary relaxation was genuine!

And if Lu Xiaobu was facing him without complete confidence, there’s no way he would let his guard down!

So!

He had to be careful!

Regardless of the truth, he absolutely couldn’t lose this round!

"Clatter! Clatter! Whoosh!"

After a long shake, Lin Feng put down his dice shaker: "Open!"

"Alright!" Lu Xiaobu also put down his shaker.

"Triple six! I’m quite lucky!" Lin Feng opened his shaker, a smile curling at his lips.

No matter the result, this was a solid outcome!

"Oh, three sixes too, huh." Lu Xiaobu opened his shaker, glanced inside, and smiled: "Sorry, I’ve got three sixes as well!"

"As expected!" Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed.

This Lu Xiaobu was just as he thought—he absolutely had a trick up his sleeve!

He used gambling techniques to roll three sixes, but Lu Xiaobu casually rolled the same. How could there be no trickery involved!

"Still want to gamble?" Lu Xiaobu looked at Lin Feng.

He knew Lin Feng had figured out he was using a trick.

That’s why he asked.

"Let’s go three more rounds, I refuse to believe you are a hundred percent!" Lin Feng pondered and said.

"Alright." Lu Xiaobu nodded.

"However, these three rounds will be after the banquet ends!" Lin Feng’s eyes glimmered with cunning.

He wanted to do everything possible to negate Lu Xiaobu’s special power.

Even if it might not work, dragging it out seemed like a good idea!

"Sure." Lu Xiaobu said indifferently.

The Luck Aura could be turned on and off at any time.

Dragging it out would be the wrong move, as Lin Feng was clearly going down the wrong path.

"Shall we go out and make a quick score?!" Lu Xiaobu stood up and said.

"Alright!" Lin Feng laughed.

The gamble wasn’t entirely over yet, so they could still enjoy themselves.

After all, this was the last of their pleasant interactions!

It was a bit hard to part with, honestly!

...

Meanwhile.

While the battle of wits was taking place inside the room, the ’robbery’ outside was proceeding as usual.

Many felt they weren’t contributing enough and hurriedly added a little something extra.

Among these, antiques were the majority.

After all, antiques sometimes couldn’t accurately represent their value; even if slightly undervalued, they had more prestige than clearly priced items!

However, not everyone had antiques to offer.

"What to do? What to do?!" Jiang Kai was panicking.

He was one of the twenty-three against Lu Xiaobu initially.

Even though his assets amounted to over sixty billion, he was ill-prepared due to oversimplifying the situation.

As a result, after Zhan Longyan presented a gift worth five billion, his own offerings seemed inadequate!

Others found themselves in similar straits, caught off guard by their underestimation of the event.

Watching more and more prepared individuals offering gifts, visibly relieved, only made them angrier!

However, reaching the level of reigning on the Second Level Rich List wasn’t purely due to luck.

Jiang Kai quickly thought of a good idea.

He gathered those who were floundering and murmured, "Listen up, I have an idea! Let’s all go and hand over our things simultaneously without revealing what’s being handed over. With this, we might just slip through unnoticed!"

Upon hearing Jiang Kai’s suggestion, eyes brightened among his listeners.

Though simple, it seemed the most viable solution!

With about forty to fifty people—the majority of the attendees—if they all rushed to present their items, the hosts wouldn’t have time to keep track of everything!

Then, surely Lin Feng and Lu Xiaobu would be at a loss!

It’s a great plan!

"Alright! Let’s do it!"

"I support it!"

"Sure thing, they have money, we have brains!"

"..."

The crowd readily agreed.

Seeing their agreement, Jiang Kai nodded in satisfaction.

However, his lips curled into a smug smirk.

See, they still needed me, a bunch of fools!

This is what you call intelligence!

These people acted straight away!

Soon after, Liang Lan saw the hesitant ones suddenly marching over in unison.

She didn’t think much of it, assuming they’d all just made up their minds and come together!

Little did she know, this shameless group was dumping everything on the ground en masse.

With the table blocking her view, she couldn’t see who was who or which gift belonged to whom!

Immediately, Liang Lan was infuriated—this group was playing dirty!

Just then, Lin Feng and Lu Xiaobu emerged!
