Strongest Eccentric Consort - Chapter 440
Chapter 440: Chapter 440 I Will Not Settle For A Loss
“Your words have piqued my curiosity even more. Let’s go in and take a look.”
Ye Zhuixun nodded.
The moment the two of them entered the life-or-death battle stage, they heard deafening cheers ringing across the venue. The cheers were so loud that they could pierce one’s eardrums.
Lou Qianxue scanned the surroundings with a stunned expression.
The venue had ten battle stages, and all of them were stained red in blood. People were battling on each battle stage, and the scenes were extremely bloody.
A bloody stench lingered around the entire venue, stimulating the audience. It made them so exhilarated that they lost control over themselves.
“Why does a place like this have so many people?”
“There are always people who like to see such scenes. Furthermore, they can bet on the outcome of each battle. That’s even more exciting than going to the casino.”
“I see.”
As the two of them talked, a beautiful woman walked over. She gently and politely said, “Are you two here to watch the battles or fight? If you’re here to watch the battles, you’ll need to pay one thousand. If you’re here to fight, please follow me to register.”
“She’s here to fight, and I’m here to watch.” Ye Zhuixun self-consciously took out his money.
“Okay! Ma’am, please follow me to register.
“Ma’am, what name would you like to fight under?”
“Huh? I even have to come up with a name?” Lou Qianxue looked at Ye Zhuixun.
He nodded. “You can register with your real name or a nickname.”
Lou Qianxue frowned. “Let’s not use my real name. Then, my nickname will be…”
She pondered about it.
Scanning the mask on her face, Ye Zhuixun said, “I recall that you’re very fast. Why don’t you call yourself the ‘Jade-Masked Blast’?”
“… That’s weird. But since I’m here to earn money, it doesn’t matter. Jade-Masked Blast it is.”
The registrar instantly signed her up. Soon, the woman who had greeted them before passed a decree to Lou Qianxue. “Miss Jade-Masked Blast, this is your identity decree. May I know if you want to fight now or later?”
“Now.”
“Then do you want to fight with a ’10-point warrior’ who’s on the same level as you, or do you want to challenge a ‘100-point warrior’?”
“I’ll try fighting someone at the same level as me first.”
“Okay. Miss Jade-Masked Blast, you can’t admit defeat in any fight on the life-or-death battle stage. Once you enter the stage, someone has to die. If you are sure that you want to fight, we’ll arrange for you to fight a ’10-point warrior.’ If you change your mind, you can fight another day.”
“You guys are so humane? Never mind, I want to fight.”
“Alright! Then, may I ask if you want to redeem the original prize or bet on something?”
The question came. This question was the real reason Lou Qianxue wanted to join the life-and-death battles.
“I want to bet on something.”
“If you want to bet on something, the reward will double if you defeat someone on the same level as you. If you defeat someone one level higher than you, the rewards will increase by ten times! If you defeat someone two levels above you, the rewards will increase by a hundred times! Please place your bet.”
Lou Qianxue smirked and whipped out ten blood ginseng from the Mountain River Space. “I’m betting on these!”
“That’s… That’s a lot!” The pretty lady was so shocked that her eyes widened. “Are these… ten hundred-year-old blood ginsengs? Are you sure you want to bet on them, Miss Jade-Masked Blast?”
“I’m sure.”
“Alright, then. Please wait a moment, Miss Jade-Masked Blast. We’ll inform you when it’s your turn to fight.”
After speaking, the pretty lady briskly walked away, carrying the tray with the blood ginseng.
“Master!” Ye Zhuixun speechlessly looked at Lou Qianxue. “Why did you place such a large bet?”
“I need money,” Lou Qianxue indignantly answered.
“But Master, the life-or-death battle stage will not settle for a loss. The larger your bet, the more they would wish for you to lose. They’ll arrange a much stronger opponent for you! By then…”
