This is similar to the experts from a previous life. Initially, this word was a term of praise, but gradually with the emergence of some fake experts and inappropriate remarks, experts lost credibility in the hearts of the people. Eventually, the word "expert" became derogatory.

These Gambling Egg Masters are also afraid of this situation. To protect their interests, the actions of those two people are usually not spread around.

Chu Chen was silent for a moment and asked again, "Will Wei Xishan intentionally hesitate a few times to trick them a bit?"

Dong Hanyang smiled and shook his head upon hearing this, "On the contrary, if possible, Wei Xishan would even pretend to hesitate, deliberately giving them some high-quality beast taming eggs."

Chu Chen was greatly shocked upon hearing this, and couldn't help but ask, "Why is that?"

Dong Hanyang smiled and said, "It's simple. This is the Gambling Egg Tournament. Would you prefer to meet stronger opponents in the finals, or weaker ones?"

Chu Chen showed a look of realization upon hearing this. It turns out they use this method to eliminate those opponents with a certain level of threat in advance.

In this light, the Gambling Egg Tournament indeed contains hidden strategies and isn't as straightforward as it appears on the surface.

Chu Chen was seeing this situation for the first time and couldn't help but feel curious, prompting him to watch for a while longer.

The two people had a strong ability to observe and interpret Wei Xishan's every move, catching each gesture and expression.

Wei Xishan had long noticed their actions but didn't care; after selecting ten beast taming eggs, he deliberately paused in front of another beast taming egg.

Seeing this, the two immediately understood and ran toward that beast taming egg, almost starting a quarrel.

Chu Chen couldn't help but feel speechless when he saw this. He initially thought Dong Hanyang's words were somewhat exaggerated, but now it seems that the words were rather conservative.

Soon the first group of competition was over. First was number one, Wei Xishan, whose ten beast taming eggs included one Epic Level Upper Grade beast taming egg, one Perfect Level Upper Grade, two Perfect Level Middle Grade, one Outstanding Level Upper Grade, two Outstanding Level Middle Grade, one Outstanding Level Lower Grade, and the last two were Elite Level Upper Grade.

The total value reached as high as 153,860,000.

Determining the beast taming egg's value not only involves its quality but also its species and attributes.

The species decides whether a beast is land-based or flying, and determines their combat type and appearance.

Flying-type beast taming eggs are priced 30% higher than land-based ones.

In terms of combat type, healing and support types are approximately 50% more expensive than other types.

Finally, there's appearance. There are many wealthier individuals whose concept is that strength doesn't matter—looks are what last a lifetime. They prioritize appearance over power.

Of course, beast taming eggs with both strength and appearance fetch even higher prices.

Soon it was the turn of the two people who followed behind Wei Xishan to pick up the leftovers.

The first was a somewhat weak-looking middle-aged man with a slightly gray goatee.

His ten beast taming eggs included one Perfect Level Upper Grade, one Perfect Level Middle Grade, two Outstanding Level Upper Grade, one Outstanding Level Middle Grade, two Outstanding Level Lower Grade, one Elite Level Upper Grade, one Elite Level Middle Grade, and one Ordinary Level Upper Grade.

With a total value of 52,760,000.

Though his results differed greatly from Wei Xishan's, he was still ranked in the top three out of twenty people.

After all, among these thousand unidentified beast taming eggs, finding an Epic Quality egg is already a stroke of luck.

The other was a burly and rugged giant with a thick beard, whose appearance looked very rough.

His temperament seemed out of place with Gambling Egg Masters, yet his observation skills were no less than that of the weak middle-aged man.

Soon, the ten beast taming eggs he selected were also appraised.

Two Perfect Level Middle Grade, one Perfect Level Lower Grade, one Outstanding Level Upper Grade, two Outstanding Level Middle Grade, one Outstanding Level Lower Grade, two Elite Level Middle Grade, and one Ordinary Level Middle Grade.

With a total value of 49,270,000, enough to rank in the top five of the twenty people.

Some might feel this ranking is not high, possibly unable to enter the top fifty, but the strength of this group is generally strong. Besides the first-place Wei Xishan, several others are renowned Gambling Egg Masters from the Four Great Cities.

An hour later, the results of the second group came out.

The total value of the first-place beast taming eggs across ten pieces was only 46,720,000.

This indirectly confirmed the highly competitive nature of the first group of contestants.

As time passed, five hours went by in the blink of an eye.

In other words, five groups have completed the competition, yet Wei Xishan's results ranked first, while the goateed man's results remained in the top ten, and the giant ranked fifteenth.

This result left most of the contestants envious, but they lacked the luck and audacity of those two.

Soon, Zhang Fugui began randomly selecting the seventh group of contestants.

"Number fifty-six, number one hundred and eighty-seven..."

Dong Hanyang raised the number plate in his hand and said, "It's my turn to take the stage."

Just as Chu Chen was about to cheer him on, Zhang Fugui loudly called out number ninety-eight.

Chu Chen swallowed back his words of encouragement.

"It seems our luck is quite good to be in the same group."

Dong Hanyang smiled and said upon hearing this, "Indeed."

"Do you want to be a scavenger this time?" Chu Chen asked with a smile.

Dong Hanyang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows upon hearing this, then laughed and said, "That's actually a good idea, so we can reduce an opponent."

Chu Chen smiled and said upon hearing this, "In a while, if you see me tap three times on a beast taming egg, you can choose that beast taming egg."

Dong Hanyang nodded with a smile upon hearing this, "That's best; it keeps us from being too obvious and getting remembered by anyone."

After deciding on their secret signal, the two went directly forward.

After Zhang Fugui confirmed the information for the seventh group was correct, he announced the start of the competition.

The two quickly arrived at a shelf, and Chu Chen didn't hesitate to summon the Slaughter Atlas, seeking information on these beast taming eggs.

Chu Chen soon lightly tapped three times on a beast taming egg in the middle position of the shelf and pretended to listen closely.

Shi Huai'an and others burst into laughter.

"This kid thinks he's buying melons in the Gambling Egg Pavilion, even listening to the sound."

"Haha, it's really too funny."

"It would be more straightforward to apologize directly to us than embarrass himself here."

Outside the Gambling Egg Pavilion, the crowd of onlookers also burst into laughter.

"This kid is really hilarious. Should he ask Steward Zhang if the egg is guaranteed to hatch?"

His words immediately provoked a wave of laughter, with scornful remarks echoing through the crowd.

In stark contrast were Wang Lu and others, who could only feign calmness and pretend not to recognize Chu Chen.

Chu Chen, naturally, wasn't aware of this. He planned to help Dong Hanyang choose the beast taming eggs first and then slowly select his own, to avoid anyone spotting any indication.

A quarter of an hour later, Dong Hanyang had already selected ten beast taming eggs, but he didn't leave and still pretended to choose from the beast taming eggs.

Before long, an hour passed.

Next was the appraisal of the beast taming eggs.

Since Dong Hanyang was the first to be selected, he naturally started the appraisal first.

Of the ten beast taming eggs, there was one Epic Level Middle Grade egg, one Perfect Level Upper Grade, two Perfect Level Lower Grade, two Outstanding Level Upper Grade, one Outstanding Level Middle Grade, one Outstanding Level Lower Grade, one Elite Level Upper Grade, and one Ordinary Level Middle Grade, for a total value of 97,630,000.

Upon hearing the total value, Dong Hanyang couldn't help but look at Chu Chen, his expression full of excitement.

Soon, Chu Chen's selected ten beast taming eggs were appraised as well.

Two Perfect Level Upper Grade, one Perfect Level Middle Grade, two Outstanding Level Middle Grade, one Outstanding Level Lower Grade, two Elite Level Upper Grade, and two Ordinary Level Middle Grade, for a total value of 70,430,000.

Shi Huai'an and others became livid upon hearing the total value of these ten beast taming eggs.

Based on the current results, it's already a stable entry into the top fifty.

Four hours later, today's schedule was over.

No surprises in the results, Chu Chen advanced to the second round with a ranking of thirty-five.
