Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas

Master Jia came to Li Dehai's side and whispered, "Patriarch Li, there's no need to panic. The total value of those nine Beast Taming Eggs is about sixteen million. Even if he identifies another Outstanding Level Upper Grade Beast Taming Egg, the total value won't surpass ours, unless he can identify a Perfect Quality Beast Taming Egg again."

Upon hearing this, Li Dehai finally let out a sigh of relief. He composed himself and asked in a low voice, "Master Jia, what do you think the probability is that he will identify a Perfect Quality Beast Taming Egg?"

"Based on my many years of appraisal experience, the probability of him identifying a Perfect Quality one is very low," Master Jia analyzed with a smile, stroking his beard.

Hearing this, Li Dehai smiled immediately and quickly asked, "Why is that?"

Master Jia smiled and explained, "Over eighty percent of the fifth layer's Beast Taming Eggs are Ordinary Level and Elite Level, while the ones above Excellence Level account for less than twenty percent."

Hearing this, Li Dehai became anxious and quickly asked, "Twenty percent is not a small number."

Master Jia waved his hand and said, "Patriarch Li, don't worry, I haven't finished yet. Out of this twenty percent, at least half are at the Excellence Level, which means that less than half a percent are at Perfect Level. There are no more than ten Perfect Quality Beast Taming Eggs among these hundreds of eggs. We've already identified five, so the possibility of identifying another Perfect Quality Beast Taming Egg is probably less than one percent."

Upon hearing this, Li Dehai's expression relaxed. In his view, Chu Chen no longer stood a chance because the opponent had already identified two Perfect Quality Beast Taming Eggs in succession. To identify a third one would make it three in a row, a probability closely approaching zero.

Meanwhile, the faces of Lu Hongfei and his group were extremely gloomy, as they too had calculated Chu Chen's odds.

"Don't be discouraged, we still have hope," Gu Zhen reassured in a low voice.

Perhaps even he felt unsure, as he lowered his head and remained silent after saying this.

At this moment, perhaps the only person who held a bit of confidence for Chu Chen was Zhang Yuyan.

Although Chu Chen had previously said that he relied on luck, she believed he definitely wouldn't do something he wasn't confident about.

As the final Beast Taming Egg was put into the machine, everyone's hearts were on edge.

As each second ticked by, their emotions were extremely complicated, fearing an intolerable result while eagerly anticipating their hopes being realized.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, within the City Lord's bedroom.

An elderly man, dressed neatly, was sitting cross-legged on the bed.

At this moment, a man dressed in black entered the room, quickly approaching the elder and whispering, "Sir, the bait has been set."

The elder nodded in response, "Have you identified the identities of those people?"

The man in black did not answer directly but shook his head gravely.

Seeing this, the elder's interest was piqued, and he hastily asked, "What's the matter?"

The elder had a high degree of confidence in the capability of the man in black, so he assumed there must be some hidden reasons if such a simple task remained incomplete.

The man in black spoke solemnly, "Those three are from Celestial Star City, the middle-aged man is called Lu Hongfei..."

A moment later, the elder asked in a solemn voice, "There's no need to continue investigating that young girl named Zhang Yuyan; after all, we harbor no ill intentions."

"Yes, Sir."

"Hmm, has there been an outcome from the Gambling Egg Pavilion yet?"

Just then, the communication bracelet of the man in black suddenly lit up.

Upon seeing this, the man in black quickly checked it.

"They took the bait."

Upon hearing this, the elder beamed with delight, quickly leaping off the bed and saying with a laugh, "Let's go and take a look."

At this moment, on the fifth floor of the Black Mist Gambling Egg Pavilion, everyone seemed to be petrified, with the culprit being the information displayed on the machine.

Epic Level Upper Grade Storm Snow Carving.

"This is actually Epic Level Upper Grade. It's unbelievable that there's an Epic Level Beast Taming Egg on the fifth floor. How is this possible?" Master Jia spoke enviously.

Having spent many years on Lamp Street, this was the first time Master Jia saw someone identify an Epic Level Beast Taming Egg on the fifth floor, which had reshaped his understanding.

"Steward Sun, what's going on here? Why is there an Epic Level Beast Taming Egg?" Master Jia asked in a deep voice.

Steward Sun replied unpleasantly, "Don't forget this is the Gambling Egg Pavilion. What's the issue with an Epic Quality Beast Taming Egg appearing? Who's to say there won't be higher quality Beast Taming Eggs? It's just that your skill wasn't sufficient to select one."

Upon hearing this, Master Jia displayed a furious look but regained brief composure; after all, this was the City Lord's territory, unsuitable for reckless behavior.

Nonetheless, Steward Sun's words were not baseless. In the realm of gambling, any situation was conceivable.

Only then did everyone awaken from their shock.

"An Epic Quality egg, and of Upper Grade at that. I never imagined I'd hit upon the most sensational story of Lamp Street on my first try," Gu Zhen remarked excitedly.

Clearly, Gu Zhen had already contemplated how to boast about this to friends afterward.

Lu Hongfei and Gu Hui were equally excited.

It seemed the only one remaining calm was Zhang Yuyan, who was intently staring at Chu Chen with a displeased gaze, evidently realizing she had been played.

"No, no, this isn't possible. You must have cheated. Tell me, what did you do?" Li Dehai pointed at Chu Chen in anger.

Chu Chen shook his head and replied, "I already told you, my luck has always been good."

"Hmph, do you take me for a three-year-old child?"

Before Chu Chen could respond, Steward Sun stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Patriarch Li, please show restraint. Our Gambling Egg Pavilion has always been fair and impartial and will never favor any side."

Li Dehai's anger surged upon hearing this; never before had an Epic Quality Beast Taming Egg appeared in the Gambling Egg Pavilion. The moment Chu Chen arrived, it was identified. He couldn't believe there was no foul play involved.

"Steward Sun, I am not questioning the Gambling Egg Pavilion, but please investigate him thoroughly. After all, identifying two Perfect Quality and one Epic Quality Beast Taming Egg, all being Upper Grade, is implausible."

Steward Sun's expression softened slightly, acknowledging that Li Dehai's words held some truth. However, he and others had overseen their selection process, and cheating would have been apparent.

This matter affected the Gambling Egg Pavilion's reputation, and he dared not make rash decisions; nevertheless, one thing was clear: they had to protect the interests of the Pavilion.

"Patriarch Li, gambling on eggs is essentially gambling. Anything can happen; it's just that some things occur with an extremely low probability, making them hard to accept."

"Nonsense, it's clearly..."

Before Li Dehai could continue, an aged voice resonated from the staircase.

"Steward Sun has spoken well. Gambling involves betting on luck, and our Gambling Egg Pavilion operates with absolute fairness. No one is allowed to slander it."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned toward the voice's direction.

As they recognized the elder's face, their expressions collectively changed.

Steward Sun quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Lord City Lord."
