The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2305 Can Taoist Priests Also Gamble?

"Sir, Madam, there is a casino on the fourth and fifth floors. The casino on the fourth floor is for guests from the first, second, and third floors, while the casino on the fifth floor is smaller but is exclusively for guests from the sixth floor."

"If you wish to experience the lively fourth-floor casino, you can use your ticket for access. If you want a better environment, better opponents, and bigger bets, you can head to the fifth-floor casino."

Listening to the maid's explanation, Lin Chen smiled and said, "It seems that the more expensive the ticket, the better the service."

Chen Youdong explained with a smile: "While the casino is a place for gambling, it is also a place for making friends. Guests who can sit in the sixth-floor cabin are often rich and powerful, and it is the easiest time to get to know each other when they gamble in the casino."

"Getting to know each other at the casino allows for deeper social interaction involving food, drinks, and entertainment. Making friends and discussing business during this process is quite normal. Therefore, many customers will not miss this opportunity to expand their network, since having more friends means having more options."

Lin Chen agreed, "That's right. Circles are very important. If you are in a circle, you can access a lot of resources and information that you would never be able to access outside the circle. With this information or resources, you can easily gain huge benefits by integrating them."

Chen Youdong laughed and said, "Don't even mention businessmen like us. Even powerful cultivators are everywhere here. They also need to exchange information, integrate resources, and make friends..."

Lin Chen was very familiar with what Chen Youdong was talking about; wasn't this just a high-class club in the human world?

Club members are all wealthy and influential, and all members pay hefty membership fees. Members work together to organize various activities, exchange information, integrate resources, and earn more profits.

This is the "circle" that Lin Chen just mentioned. If you are a member of this circle, you can use the resources you have to make exchanges and exchange for what you need.

If you're not in this circle, even if you have enough capital, you might not find a suitable opportunity. This is what people often refer to as "carrying a pig's head but not being able to find the temple gate."

This journey is long, and everyone will be on the ship for a long time. There will be plenty of time for everyone to get to know each other and develop a deeper friendship. Perhaps the profits gained from this journey will far exceed the cost of the one million spirit stones for the ticket.

This may explain why premium cabin tickets are so expensive yet still in high demand.

The group entered the gambling hall, which was not very large, but had various gambling tables. There were already quite a few customers in the hall, men, women, young and old. They sat around different gambling tables, gambling and talking in hushed tones.

Lin Chen glanced over and his eyes immediately became quite surprised.

He saw several Taoist priests mixed in with the crowd, and these Taoist priests were clearly members of the visiting delegation.

Lin Chen asked in a low voice, "Can Taoist priests gamble too?" Chen Youdong glanced over and replied in a low voice, "Taoists don't have as many rules as monks. Taoism emphasizes doing what one pleases, and there's no rule that forbids them from gambling. As for the Longshan Sect, they're called Taoists, but it's more about the Taoist practices they cultivate. They can even marry and have children. Aside from certain rules they need to follow, they're not much different from ordinary cultivators..."

Lin Chen subconsciously thought of Fu Yunzi of the Longshan Sect and Nangong Ye who followed Fu Yunzi to Longyun Mountain. He wondered how he was doing now.

I wonder if any of the Longshan sect Taoists here are from Longyun Mountain? Should we ask the Longshan sect Taoists?
"Brother Lin, which one do you want to play?"

Lost in thought, Lin Chen's gaze naturally drifted towards the group of Taoist priests: "I see they're playing dice, guessing high or low. That's easy, I'll play that first..."

Chen Youdong smiled and said, "Then we need to exchange for chips first. The minimum bet in the gambling hall here is 10,000 spirit stones, and the maximum is 100 million spirit stones. If you want to bet even higher, you can apply for a VIP room service separately."

Lin Chen laughed heartily, "Then I'll exchange ten million spirit stones first, have a go, and we'll see what happens if I lose."

Chen Youdong called over a waiter to exchange chips for the group. Chen Youdong exchanged five million spirit stones, and Lin Chen exchanged ten million spirit stones. All of these spirit stones were exchanged for blue and green chips.

Lin Chen slowly walked to the dice table with the chip box in his hand and sat down next to a middle-aged Taoist priest in blue robes.

The middle-aged Taoist priest glanced at Lin Chen, who smiled and greeted him, "Fellow Taoist, how is the fortune of this table today?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said, "Auspicious, you can go for it!"

Lin Chen laughed heartily: "With you saying so, fellow Daoist, I must take a few gambles!"

Just then, the dealer rolled a die and called out to everyone to place their bets.

Lin Chen glanced at the small bet placed by the middle-aged Taoist priest and casually tossed out a chip worth one million spirit stones.

"I'll bet a million, on small."
