Chapter 569

~5 min read 846 words

Before absolute luck, no amount of planning matters.

Just like before,

Xiao Paimon and Ying together had six bombs plus a wild card.

With a straight flush like that, how could you lose?

But there's nothing to be done,

after all, Han Feng is the landlord.

He gets to play first.

And it just happened to be a five-plane, clearing his hand all at once.

Where do you go to argue about this?

"Baixiao, Baishi, Baiven, let's go!"

At that moment, Lady Ningguang stood up, gathered the Mora from the table, and spoke to the three secretaries beside her.

"Yes!"

The three women nodded and prepared to leave immediately.

"Wait!"

As if remembering something, Lady Ningguang called them back,

then took two phones from Baishi's arms and walked to the counter.

"Master Han, could you please deliver these two phones to Miss Qin?"

Lady Ningguang said softly.

When Qin first received her phone, out of consideration for communication, she had once gifted one each to Lady Ningguang and Lady Keqing.

At the time, since they truly needed them, both had accepted them.

But now that she herself had twenty phones, she naturally ought to return the favor.

"Alright, leave them with me."

Han Feng nodded with a faint smile, took the phones, and placed them on the counter.

He planned to give them to Lisa when she came down.

"Huh? Something else?"

Seeing Lady Ningguang still standing at the counter, Han Feng asked curiously.

"Ahem, I wonder if Master Han has any interest in promoting playing cards?"

Hearing Han Feng's question, Lady Ningguang voiced her idea.

"These playing cards are simple and convenient, with fun rules—if promoted, they'll surely be welcomed by many."

"If that's the case, then go ahead and promote them. With your authority as the Star of Heaven's Decree, it shouldn't be hard."

Perhaps you could even organize a nationwide Landlord tournament!"

"Hmm, you could even give the champion a title—like God of Gambling, Gambling Hero, or Gambling Sage."

Han Feng sipped his tea and smiled.

He directly borrowed those titles from the movie.

"Nationwide Landlord Tournament? God of Gambling, Gambling Hero, Gambling Sage?"

Hearing this string of terms, Lady Ningguang's eyes lit up.

That's actually a good idea.

It could promote playing cards while rallying the entire populace to participate.

And titles like God of Gambling, Gambling Sage, Gambling Hero—just hearing them sounds incredibly imposing.

They'd surely draw public attention.

"But titles alone aren't enough—you need the lure of money."

Lady Ningguang thought to herself.

For example, ten million Mora for the champion!

Second and third place would decrease accordingly.

A dashing title plus a generous prize—surely it would attract many to play.

Imagining the grand scene, Lady Ningguang grew even more excited.

She turned her eager gaze toward Han Feng.

"Master Han, your idea is excellent, so I'd like you to grant me authorization—otherwise, I can't properly promote it."

At this, Han Feng understood.

So Lady Ningguang had come to him for this reason…

Thinking of it, he smiled and shook his head.

"No need. The playing cards were Ying's reward—none of my doing. Go to her."

"Understood!"

Lady Ningguang nodded.

She turned and walked back to the card table to express her cooperation offer to Ying.

"Authorization for the playing cards? Sure!"

Hearing this simple request, Ying agreed immediately.

In her view, it was the smallest of matters.

She didn't even need to be asked.

But Lady Ningguang didn't think so.

Once the poker business takes off, it will earn a lot of Mora.

But she planned to tell Xiao Ying about the specifics later.

Now is not the right time.

"By the way, we'll hold a Landlord Battle Tournament—feel free to join if you're interested."

The champion won't just get ten million Mora in prize money, but also titles like God of Gamblers or Saint of Gamblers."

Lady Ningguang smiled and said.

"Landlord Battle Tournament? Ten million Mora?!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ying's eyes lit up.

Just when you're sleepy, a pillow appears.

She was short on money—and now ten million Mora had come!

And the title "God of Gamblers" sounded incredibly majestic.

Wasn't that better than her title of Honorary Knight?

Thinking this, Xiao Ying immediately agreed.

"No problem, I'll be there on time!"

"Lady Ningguang, may I join too?"

At that moment, Noel stepped forward, her face filled with longing.

Ten million Mora!

If she won the championship (Qian Zhao was good), wouldn't all that money be hers?

Then she wouldn't have to worry about buying comics anymore.

Although she knew her chances of winning were slim,

but people,

should have at least some dreams—otherwise, what's the difference between them and a salted fish?

If her luck was good, like her boss, and she drew an incredible hand,

maybe she really had a chance at the championship.

"Of course, welcome you both—and if you have any relatives or friends, they can join too."

Lady Ningguang smiled.

She harbored great ambition within.

Not only would she hold it in Liyue.

She intended to hold it in Mondstadt as well.
