I Slaughtered Through the Dungeon Worlds with My Cheats-Chapter 630 - 273 About to Become the Ten-thousand-year-old Demon [10,000 words]

Chapter 630: Chapter 273 About to Become the Ten-thousand-year-old Demon [10,000 words]

This could be seen from Mu Rufeng’s situation.

After all, he had refined quite a bit of Soul Power, but his lifespan still hadn’t increased much.

That’s why at the Golden City banquet, so many Ghost Emperors could be seen.

It was because the Ghost Emperors had long lifespans; aside from those who died in Taboo Lands or were killed by enemies, you rarely saw a Ghost Emperor who died of old age.

Therefore, the Ghost Emperors below were so shocked.

Especially Mu Rufeng, with 250 million Soul Power in his hand, equivalent to an increased lifespan of 2,500 years.

Even if Mu Rufeng just lay flat, betting the minimum each hand and following through, he probably wouldn’t lose much in an hour’s time.

The atmosphere on the scene suddenly heated up.

The Golden City banquet this time was truly worthwhile.

It was at this time that a large round table appeared on the stage, with a green background behind the table.

There were eleven chairs situated around the round table, forming a circle.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats. We’ll be using a deck of poker cards, excluding the jokers, a total of 52 cards, dealt according to the rules of the Golden City,"

Zhao Chen was the first to take a seat.

The others, without saying much, also took their seats.

The five-meter-tall black giant Freeman had also shrunk his body down to two meters.

Even so, his build was still the largest among the people present.

When everyone was seated, the number of chips that each person had was displayed above them.

These numbers naturally represented the amount of their lifespans.

At the same time, chips corresponding to the numbers displayed above appeared on the gambling tables in front of them.

Mu Rufeng’s 2,500 chips, not including his own lifespan, would not be displayed.

It was presumed that the same applied to the others.

To the surprise of many, Zhao Chen had 699 chips.

Obviously, the number of chips Zhao Chen had was the average sum of the chips held by all ten participants.

"I’ll explain the rules once more. We have one hour, starting from the deal of the first hand."

"After one hour, the top three will be determined by the number of chips they have. As for me, I am not included in the ranking, I’m just here to join you in the game."

"You can also exchange your own lifespan for chips, and the chips converted will also be counted in the final settlement."

"Please note, considering everyone has a varying amount of lifespan, to prevent someone from following the last card without any lifespan chips to show for it,"

"each person can apply for a lifespan loan from the Golden City once, and the amount borrowed depends on how many chips you need to reveal your hand."

"As for the interest, it’s not much, ten percent daily, starting on the day of the loan, and if it’s less than a day, it counts as a day,"

Zhao Chen slowly said.

Truth be told, with so many chips, Mu Rufeng could afford to pull Xu He and Niu Ben along, betting only the base amount without following through on each hand.

Then, within a short hour, the three of them wouldn’t lose much, and there was a chance they could rank in the top three.

After all, the top three had special rewards, whereas fourth to tenth place had none.

But now that this rule had been stated, it was completely infeasible.

Because these were all Level 9 Ghost Emperors, each carrying at least a thousand or two thousand years of lifespan.

Mu Rufeng’s 2,500 years could not secure a dominating victory.

After all, even if their lifespan became chips, their actual lifespan would not decrease and would remain the same, as long as they did not bet.

Hence, this little rule had effectively killed the strategy of laying flat that Mu Rufeng could have used. If Mu Rufeng wanted to win, he had to gamble on.

Regarding the last issue about borrowing, it was fairly easy to understand.

It meant that if you were unable to reveal your hand toward the end but had followed through for so many rounds, it was impossible to fold, so borrowing to show your hand was the perfect solution.

Of course, an interest rate of ten percent was quite high.

If you were to borrow a thousand years, you’d have to pay back 1,100 years on the same day; it was absolutely outrageous.

But then again, this was a loan of lifespan, a unique commodity; even if the interest were doubled, one would still need to borrow.

Everyone took their place.

Then, a Rule Contract appeared in front of them. ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Sign here, this is a Rule Contract evolved from the rules, designed to prevent cheating during the Championship of the Gods, including but not limited to card switching, stealing cards, X-ray eyes, and so on."

"Of course, abilities or items that increase or decrease Luck Value can also be used, but remember, using an item should not be seen by others, otherwise it will be treated as cheating."

Having said that, Zhao Chen signed his name on the contract and pressed his handprint.

The others quickly went through the Rule Contract and, finding no objections, signed and stamped it directly.

While the Championship of the Gods was protected by the rules of the Golden City, only by signing the Rule Contract could everyone feel more at ease.

Zhao Chen, seeing that everyone had signed their contracts, immediately took out a chip and threw it onto the center of the gambling table.

The number on the chip indicated 1, which was equivalent to one year of lifespan.

Clearly, the buy-in for three-card poker was a one-year lifespan.

The others, seeing this, immediately threw in their buy-ins.

Soon, a golden deck of poker cards appeared, accompanied by a pair of golden arms.
