On the second day of operations, even more customers came, and the room quickly filled up, leaving many people stuck outside.
The turnover rate for Landlord is not high; many people forget the time while playing, so those waiting in line outside became anxious.
"Hey, Manager, we want to go in and play cards, but you have too few seats, only about twenty tables, blocking so many of us outside!"
"Exactly! I'm here, but I can't get into the casino, and I can't even get the vouchers. Aren't you going to make any improvements to your casino...?"
Someone had been here on the first day, but came late today and couldn't get into the casino, so he couldn't get the 2,000-yen voucher for continuous login rewards.
"Boss, there aren't enough seats in this casino at all. There's so much space, but you won't let us in. We can squeeze in!"
"I'm sorry, our casino can only accommodate this many people. Please come back tomorrow."
Togakushi Yukimi's words were very polite, but this made some people feel that there was room for discussion, and they all started complaining to Togakushi Yukimi.
Kurume Laiwei walked out of the casino, hands on her hips, looking at the people in line, and said unceremoniously, "Who told you to come late? You should have seen it yesterday when you came; our casino is only this big. If you come late, you can only wait in line."
"Hey, we're customers. Can you be a little more polite?" Someone was displeased.
Kurume snorted, "You say you're customers, but we haven't earned a single penny from you, have we? This is a platform we provide for free. If you want to play, go find somewhere else."
Most of the people who wanted these two million Japanese yen were commoners; for a mere one thousand Japanese yen entry fee, they could gamble for a chance at two million Japanese yen. This risk-free competition was certainly something many people wanted to participate in.
However, the Landlord game requires three people to play together, and for some, even finding three friends who can play cards is a difficult task.
Thus, the benefit of this hall became apparent.
It was like a team-up hall; if the people at a card table didn't suit your preferences, you could simply switch to another table.
Those with friends had already formed their own teams to play, while the people playing here either had no friends or were here to hone their skills, secretly observing the card techniques of other opponents.
Everyone still waiting in line had their own little schemes. Kurume's words were merciless, but few people truly reacted to them.
Starting today, Kurume Laiwei also began working at the casino. Her arrival greatly helped Togakushi and Hanatemari.
Hanatemari Kazura was still too gentle. When negotiating with others, she always softly tried to reason with them, but this often made some customers feel she was easy to bully.
Especially since the tag on her chest had not yet been removed, she was often looked down upon by others.
After Kurume came to the casino, this problem disappeared. When she saw Hanatemari encountering a very difficult customer, she would go over to help and support her.
Although she also still had a "Stray Cat" tag on her chest, her firm tone made it difficult for others to underestimate her.
When Togakushi Yukimi encountered difficulties, she also helped solve them.
In just one afternoon, the relationship between the three girls improved significantly.
This was also what Ayanokoji Kiyotaka wanted to see.
If Kurume Laiwei continued to work with that troublesome attitude, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, as her boss, would not tolerate her.
Saotome Meari, although she was also in the Chemistry Preparation Room at this time, she did not help receive guests.
Instead, she put on a mask and a baseball cap to disguise herself as a gambling customer, honing her gambling skills at the card tables.
She wanted to win the championship in this competition, and merely studying on her own was not enough; she had to compete against others to gain more experience for the official competition.
Meari and her companions didn't play for much; each game was only two thousand Japanese yen, an amount Meari herself could afford.
Her luck was quite good; she was the Landlord several times in a row, and although she didn't win much per game, she still earned tens of thousands of yen.
Most of the people playing Landlord here were "livestock" or commoners, and very few bets exceeded ten thousand Japanese yen per game.
In fact, many rich second-generation individuals also visited here out of interest after hearing rumors, but upon seeing that the gamblers here were all "paupers" and placed such small bets, they left disdainfully.
Although they were somewhat interested in the Landlord game, they did not want to gamble with a group of commoner "livestock"; it would lower their status.
Moreover, they didn't care for such small amounts of money.
This was also something Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had anticipated, but he didn't mind.
After reading several magazines related to renovation yesterday, he already had a general idea of the style he wanted to renovate, and today he decisively contacted Sachiko Juraku.
Although these casinos are now managed by Ayanokoji, the ownership of the rooms still belongs to the Student Council, so any room renovations still need to be reported to them.
Sachiko Juraku readily agreed to Ayanokoji's renovation and had Mikura use her connections to help Ayanokoji contact a Designer affiliated with the school, asking him to help renovate the room.
The staff members of Hyakkaou Private Academy are all elites in various industries, and this Designer was no exception; he was a well-known Designer in the industry, usually requiring advance appointments to get in touch with him.
But through Sachiko Juraku's contact, he unhesitatingly pushed aside his current work and came here to discuss the room renovation plan with Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.
Ayanokoji and he had a pleasant conversation, finalizing the room's renovation direction in just over half an hour. The next day, he contacted his workers to begin construction on the Cooking Room.
The Club Building only became crowded after school; during class hours, it was basically empty, so they utilized this time to renovate the room.
As expected of an industry celebrity, the Cooking Room was largely renovated in just two days.
While they were renovating the room, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was not idle either.
Student Council members' lounge.
"Are you saying you want me to be a guest for your competition?" Huangquan Luna asked curiously while eating cucumber-flavored potato chips. "By the way, what's your connection to this competition that you're asking me?"
Ayanokoji did not tell Huangquan Luna that he was the organizer of this competition. He just smiled and said that "he had a friend" and hoped to invite her to be a guest at this Dou Di Zhu Competition.
