After a day of information dissemination and fermentation, everyone was already eager to go to the casino to personally verify whether these messages were true or false.
After the dismissal bell rang, many people couldn't help but leave the classroom directly and quickly walked towards the Club Building. The casino in the Chemistry Preparation Room on the third floor had more people than when the Dou Di Zhu Competition was first announced.
"Joining the Student Council" had such an appeal to them.
"Hello, welcome…" Seeing the guests flocking in, Togakushi Yukimi stood up to greet them at the door.
A guest saw Togakushi Yukimi coming forward and immediately started shouting, asking eagerly, "Hey, is it true that the champion of your competition yesterday received an invitation from the Student Council!?"
This was the question everyone cared about most. They all focused their attention on Togakushi Yukimi.
Amidst their anticipation, Togakushi Yukimi nodded: "That's right, it's true."
"You all should have heard, right? Lady Juraku personally participated in this competition. It was she who made it to the finals and personally invited that champion. It's just a pity she refused…"
Togakushi Yukimi seemed to answer regretfully.
"Who was that champion? Why did she refuse?" Someone else asked impatiently.
"We don't know her thoughts. We don't know the reason for her refusal."
Togakushi Yukimi shook her head regretfully: "This champion doesn't like to show her face, so we've kept her identity confidential. When she wants to reveal her identity, we'll be happy to testify."
In this school, there were also smart people.
Someone sneered: "If your casino doesn't reveal the champion's identity, how do we know if this is true or false? Maybe Lady Juraku didn't invite her to join the Student Council at all, and you're just using her as a gimmick for publicity?"
When Sachiko Juraku invited Shimotsuki Okuri to join the Student Council, the entire casino only had Ayanokoji and their own people left; no outsiders witnessed that scene firsthand.
It was reasonable for these people to suspect that everything was a "self-directed and self-acted" show by the casino. Some people in the crowd also thought this, but this person was the first to ask.
Togakushi Yukimi had already discussed how to answer this question with Meari and others half an hour ago.
Her gaze swept over the person who had just spoken, and she frowned: "This was an invitation personally extended by Lady Juraku. Do you think our small casino would dare to lie and use Lady Juraku for false advertising? Are you overestimating our courage or underestimating Lady Juraku's prestige?"
Sachiko Juraku's status in this school needed no elaboration. If anyone dared to privately slander Sachiko Juraku, the Student Council would certainly not let him off. Not to mention using Sachiko Juraku for false advertising; the casino being banned and paying a large compensation fee would be a light punishment.
Everyone looked at each other, lowering their heads in silence.
Togakushi Yukimi looked directly at the person who had just raised the question and continued: "If you have doubts, you can personally ask Lady Juraku. I think she would be happy to answer your question."
"I didn't, I was just stating a possibility…" The voice of the person who had just questioned instantly became quieter, muttering softly with a guilty conscience, his voice getting smaller and smaller.
What a joke? Ask Lady Juraku? He didn't have that kind of guts…
Togakushi Yukimi saw that this person was intimidated, and her voice softened: "I know it's normal for everyone to have doubts, but this matter is absolutely true. If anyone doesn't believe it, they can go to Mikura, Lady Juraku's secretary, to confirm it. She was also present at the time."
Mikura… Hearing this name, everyone's expressions brightened considerably.
Mikura always followed Sachiko Juraku's side, never leaving her. Not a small number of people knew Mikura. If it was to seek confirmation from her, that would be a good method.
Everyone exchanged glances and felt relieved.
Her words could, to a certain extent, represent Lady Juraku. Since Togakushi Yukimi, this manager, was so confident, it seemed the matter was true.
One person took the initiative to ask: "We missed the first competition. When will the second Dou Di Zhu Competition be held?"
"That's right, I want to participate too!"
"I want to participate too!"
Everyone clamored.
"Sorry, the second competition hasn't started planning yet, but you're very welcome to play Landlord here if you wish."
Togakushi Yukimi moved away from the door and said with a smile, "You've come at a good time. Starting today, our casino is officially open. You can play cards freely here; there's no entrance fee."
"Incidentally, in addition to regular Landlord, our casino has also launched a new Ranked Match, adding brand new rules. You can take a look."
Togakushi Yukimi directed everyone to look at the wall. On the wall hung a Landlord rulebook, identical to the one in the Cooking Room opposite.
In addition to the original ones, several new rule sections had been added.
[Rob the Landlord]: After a player calls the Landlord, each player has and only has one chance to "Rob the Landlord" in sequence. If a player chooses to "Rob the Landlord" and no other player continues to "Rob the Landlord," the Landlord's right belongs to that player who "Robbed the Landlord."
If no player chooses to "Rob the Landlord," the Landlord's right belongs to the player who "Called the Landlord." Players who have performed the "Don't Call Landlord" operation cannot perform the "Rob the Landlord" operation.
Each "Rob the Landlord" doubles the base stake.
[Show Cards]: Show Cards means playing the game by revealing all cards in hand. There are three rules: "Show Cards at Start," "Show Cards during Dealing," and "Show Cards."
Show Cards at Start: Before cards are dealt, choose to show cards and keep all hand cards open to start the game. Base stake × 5.
Show Cards during Dealing: Choose to show cards during the dealing process. If you are the Landlord, base stake × 4; if you are a commoner, base stake × 3.
Show Cards: After receiving the three bottom cards, you can choose to show cards and start the game. Base stake × 2.
If multiple players choose "Show Cards" at the same time, the highest Show Cards multiplier is used for calculation. For example, if two players choose to show cards at the start, the base stake is multiplied by 25.
[Double]: After robbing the Landlord, the Landlord takes the bottom cards. At this point, there is a doubling option, and players can choose to double or not double.
After doubling, the game score is calculated as: Multiplier × Base Stake × Your Double Multiplier × Opponent's Double Multiplier. If there is a double, × 2; if there is no double, × 1.
[Super Double]: Current multiplier × 4.
In addition, there are rules such as Bombs, Spring, and Anti-Spring. Each time these card types appear, the current multiplier is doubled.
Everyone felt a bit dizzy looking at these rules.
"These multipliers don't seem big, but if they're all added together, the number can't be underestimated."
Someone started calculating: "If the base stake is 1,000, robbing the Landlord three times multiplies it by 8. If three people choose to show cards before dealing, it multiplies by 1,000. If three people then choose to double… it multiplies by 8,000!"
