Chapter 697: Just-A-Casino

After buying the mansion, Jiang Feng gave Yinke a key. That meant that she also had the rights to use the mansion.

Of course, he had only given her two rooms and the right to use the courtyard. As for the storage, he did not open it up to Yinke.

Yinke excitedly went to the mansion once she had the key.

Now that she had already become someone that had her own home, she naturally wanted to go back and decorate it.

As for Jiang Feng, he went to the hall where they were accepting registrations for the Tianji Tournament.

The registration counter was located at the heart of each city. All they needed to do was to find an elven woman to do it.

Not only that, but the application to join the Tianji Leaderboard was also done at the same place.

The name of the elven woman was Hosanna.

“I’m here to sign up for tomorrow’s tournament,” Jiang Feng said as he approached Hosanna.

Hosanna then nodded with a smile and said, “In order to prevent players from registering but not showing up, causing an empty slot to appear in the tournament, we would like to ask for a bond of 1,000gp. Once the tournament has ended, the money would be directly returned to your backpack. If you did not turn up for the tournament for any reason, it would be treated as you giving up on the tournament and the bond will not be returned!”

The tournament was quite strict.

But he understood why after giving it some thought.

If there were no limits and all the players of all levels were to register and not appear when the tournament began, it would cause chaos to the tournament’s arrangement and many players would be placed in byes. If that were to happen, the tournament would become very messy.

He paid the 1,000 gold in bond and successfully registered for tomorrow’s tournament.

After registration, he could then check the number of people that had signed up.

At this time, the number had reached 300,000. It seemed like many people were quite interested in the reward this time.

At the deadline the next day, he estimated that the number of people would be multiplied by tenfold, even twentyfold of the current number.

“Excuse me, but can I apply to be on the Tianji Leaderboard?” After registration, Jiang Feng once again said to Hosanna.

Hosanna nodded with a faint smile and said, “Of course. The Tianji Leaderboard would be refreshed once every month. There are still 23 days until the Tianji Leaderboard would be refreshed. If you have entered the Tianji Leaderboard at the next refresh, it would reward you with a certain amount of monetary reward according to your ranking. The amount of monetary reward you gain is related to the number of bulletins that the Tianji Leaderboard has sold.”

T/L note: While Raw didn’t specify that it’s the bulletin (as an item), it’s clear that she meant the number of bullet points being sold, not the leaderboard itself. Added for clarification.

The Tianji Leaderboard was only valuable because of the elites on them. Only then would it have a reason to exist, and only then would the players buy them.

Every bulletin that the players had bought would contribute some gold coins to those on the Tianji Leaderboard. The system would take a small portion, but most of it would be given to the 100 players on the Tianji Leaderboard.

That was one of the advantages of being on the Tianji Leaderboard.

“How much money was awarded to the top player in the Tianji Leaderboard last refresh?” Jiang Feng asked Hosanna curiously.

“My apologies, as the question has infringed on another player’s privacy, I am not allowed to reveal this to you!” Hosanna said with a smile.

Naturally. If every player could ask how much contribution the players on the Tianji Leaderboard would get, it might lead to someone ambushing the elites on the Tianji Leaderboard in groups.

Other than the normal players, even those on the Tianji Leaderboard would attack them.

It would be as if the Tianji System had issued a wanted poster for them and it would be too cruel to those on the Tianji Leaderboard. That was why the information on the Tianji Leaderbaord would only be made known to themselves. Others would not be able to know any information about them.

He had signed up for the tournament and also applied to be included in the Tianji Leaderboard.

He had achieved all his aims in Xiayi City.

“Let’s go home and take a look!” After completing all his tasks, he then rode on the Lunar Wolf King and brought Li’er to the mansion with a courtyard that he had just bought.

The mansion he bought was located to the East of Xiayi City. It was right in the middle of the ten mansions.

According to the Fuxi Bagua, it was an auspicious location in terms of Feng Shui and could increase one’s training speed.

The reason that he knew a little Fuxi Bagua was because he had seen Xue Haifeng use it a few times and learned some from him.

Once he entered the mansion, he then saw Yinke humming a song and planting the seeds of some flowers and herbs in the courtyard.

“You’re back. I chose the two bedrooms to the left on the first floor. The master bedroom and other rooms are still empty,” Yinke said to Jiang Feng with a smile when she saw him coming back on the Lunar Wolf King.

Li’er jumped down from the Lunar Wolf King and went to pick her own room, as if she was very close with Jiang Feng. She felt completely at home.

Jiang Feng nodded and took out an herbal medicine and a High-Black Realm Beast Pill and gave it to the Lunar Wolf King. Afterward, he entered the master bedroom.

The master bedroom was very wide, and there was some quite modernistic furniture in it.

He lay on the bed and took out the Divine Dominion’s earring-style terminal, and entered Divine Dominion.

All this while, he had been staying in the Great World of Tianji and had not had the time to enter the Divine Dominion.

Now, he was going to enter Divine Dominion and quicken his progress by increasing his power in Divine Dominion.

There were still some things that he needed to do in Divine Dominion after all.

***

Ding. Welcome back to Divine Dominion. Wish you have a good time in the game.

His vision blacked out before he could see once again. In the next moment, he had appeared in the Bottomless Pit underneath Dragonquarry’s River of Drifting Sands.

Whoosh!

As soon as he appeared in the Bottomless Pit, the sound of a sonic boom reached his ears.

He was already prepared when he returned, and so he immediately used his Space Warp skill to warp the enemy’s attack to the side.

Next, the space around him froze. With a wave of his hand, dozens of Space Fissures appeared and cracked toward that location.

Screech!

There was a sharp screech as fresh blood suddenly appeared where the space fissures had sliced through.

“Sword of Time!”

Deicide appeared in his hand in its sword form. As he swung his sword continuously, dozens of Sword Chi slashed toward that location.

After a short while, he could hear the system’s voice informing him that a Heavenly Saint Formless had just been killed by him.

“The Formless are very troublesome. I have to get deeper down into the Bottomless Pit!” He picked up the Law Items that the Formless had dropped and quickly rushed down using his teleportation skills.

He made killing the Formless look easy, but he had already used up most of his most destructive skills.

If he were to encounter another one when those skills were still under cooldown, it would be impossible for him to kill the Formless. Instead, there was a high possibility that he would die in its hands instead.

It was very difficult for him to deal with such shapeless, formless, and powerful creatures.

If it was not because he had mastered the Demesne of Time and had plenty of Space Demesne skills, he had already died a long time ago.

“I have already encountered such powerful creatures this early in the Bottomless Pit, I wonder if the monsters down there are even more powerful than the Formless!”

After dozens of teleportations, he managed to dive down around a thousand meters in depth and successfully escaped the area where the Formless were at, and entered another area.

This area had no monsters. Instead, there was a floating island. On the island was a building. On the building was a flag.

There was a dice drawn on the flag, and on the dice had one word written on it: Bet!

And then on the building’s display board was written “Just-A-Casino!”

“Er... Casino?”

He curiously went over to the building on the island.

There were plenty of weird maps and monsters within the Bottomless Pit. Of course, if he could complete these maps, he might gain great benefits. That was the conclusion he made after getting out of the Bottomless Pit on Silvermoon.

He had no idea what kind of a place that casino was, and what kind of benefits it would bring him!
