I nodded and smiled at them. Then I walked inside of the building.
Nang makapasok na ako, unang bumungad sa akin ang nakakasilaw na ilaw sa loob. I momentarily closed my eyes and after adjusting, I opened it and saw a lot of people bustling inside. I was dumbfounded for a while. Sobrang dami at parang busy silang lahat.
This is the first time I encountered a lot of players. Probably this is the reason bakit wala akong nakikitang players sa labas. They are mostly here.
I looked up. On the ceiling, there could be seen a gigantic glass chandelier hanging from above. It radiates light, illuminating every corner of this place. Sobrang gandang tingnan ng chandelier na ito. They must have put a lot of effort in creating this.
Then I looked around. One could see the complicated ambiance around the area. Players were walking and running along through the floor, busy playing on the games offered by this casino. There could be seen anticipation on their faces, firmly locking their eyes on the monitors showing different vibrant colors, letters, and numbers. The fascination and greed are clearly visible on their expressions.
"What the heck is this place?" I uttered.
This place was big and spacious. It was even bigger compared to a gymnasium in the real world. Perhaps because of this large size, it could accommodate thousands of players. Hindi pa nga napupuno ang lugar na ito at hindi rin masikip.
"You're a newbie? Well, first floor palang ito ng Junji Casino, mas mamahanga ka kapag nakapasok ka na sa upper floors." I heard a male voice on my back, making me turn around. It was an old man.
He clicked his tongue. "Nakikita mo 'yang mga players na 'yan? You won't be able to see that in the upper floors. First floor is also known for floor for poor. This floor accommodates players who have no coins or newbies. You see, the way they act does not even fit to enter the higher floors."
There was a frown on his face, indicating that he was irritated.
Then his expression changed. The old man smiled at me and nodded his head. He then walked towards the crowd, his silhouette vanished into thin air.
Base sa nakikita ko, one would really think players around were in a busy market. Maingay sa paligid at kahit saan makakakita ka ng naglalaro. Tama nga ang sabi ng matanda na parang walang pakialam sa mundo ang mga tao rito dahil ang nasa isip lamang nila ay laro. Napakagulo ng lugar. Ngunit kahit na maraming tao rito sa loob, nakakagalaw naman sila nang maayos.
I decided to observe for a while and see what was interesting about this Casino.
I roamed my eyes around and saw a bench in the corner. Pinuntahan ko iyon.
There were two players sitting on this bench. Malawak ang bench kaya kasyang-kasya ang tatlong tao.
They were sitting side by side, probably discussing base from their expression. One could also feel the strong aura permitting in their presence. A high level player.
Umupo ako sa pinakagilid katabi nila at tiningnan ang mga nangyayari sa paligid.
"Junji Casino was known for its superb services. They could offer services way better than those seven star hotels. This casino is a complete package. It has a hotel, gymnasium, casinos, and even more. It could even accommodate thousands of people." I heard the man beside me talked.
"How much does it cost if you were to rent a room here sa isang araw?" Tanong ng isang lalaki sa tabi niya.
"200 copper coins per night. Sa 200 coins mo, hinding-hindi ka na magsisisi na magstay dito. Their room, their staff, and foods are all well-handed."
