What a Painful Realization

Before this, Jin Yu had placed bets on one hundred slaves to avoid the Giant Axe Arena's restrictions.

Just because he no longer cared about such a small amount did not mean he would turn down money handed to him for free.

In his words, "You actually dared to threaten me? Then I won't hold back!"

So he fleeced them with a perfectly clear conscience, treating it as compensation for emotional distress.

Thus, the hundred slaves who had previously participated in the betting continued to wager five hundred Hun Yuan units each, just like Luo Feng and the others.

After one hundred matches, their money had increased tenfold. Each person earned 5,000 Hun Yuan units. The hundred slaves had netted 500,000 Hun Yuan units in total—a modest sum, but better than nothing.

Giant Axe Arena, Gan Wu Universe Country branch, Stellar-level Life-and-Death Battle Investment Department.

"Damn it! Why is this Emperor so strong?" Wu Dou paced furiously back and forth in his office.

After failing to invite Emperor into the Giant Axe Arena, Wu Dou had pulled some strings and invited a Stellar-level genius affiliated with the Giant Axe Arena.

He had originally thought Dicks, who possessed the Fifth Level of domain, could instantly kill Emperor, who only possessed the Third Level of domain. Yet the outcome had been the complete opposite. Dicks had been slain by Emperor in a single slash.

The old friend Wu Dou had asked for favors from had come directly to question him, demanding to know why Wu Dou had set him up.

As a ninth-rank Domain Lord, Wu Dou could tell at a glance that Emperor had indeed used only the Third Level of domain. He was simply more skilled in battle, using Dicks's own strength against him to kill him.

"Hmph! Enjoy yourself for a little longer. I've already applied to transfer over a first-class elite from headquarters with the Ninth Level of domain. Let's see how much longer you can hold on!"

Wu Dou knew that his career was more or less over. Now, he was making one last desperate gamble.

As long as he could kill the other party in one stroke, he could recover as much of his losses as possible. If he handled things well, he might even make a little profit.

But would things truly unfold as he wished?

"We made another profit, haha!" Babata excitedly displayed his account balance to Jin Yu.

He knew Jin Yu's strength very well, so he did not have the slightest doubt about the Emperor avatar Jin Yu had arranged.

Over the tens of millions of years, he had invested in countless projects, but never had he encountered something so guaranteed to make money without any risk of loss.

Watching his assets multiply, Babata was thrilled beyond measure.

This was a fixed ten-percent return! And it was calculated per match!

There was no investment anywhere in the universe that could guarantee profits without losses like this.

Well, Babata considered these betting matches to be investments.

Jin Yu was at the very least someone who had comprehended laws. Wouldn't trampling this group of ordinary Stellar-level slaves be as easy as turning over his hand?

"Babata, my teacher was an Immortal being. You've handled assets worth over several million Hun Yuan units. Is there really any need to be this excited?" Jin Yu sat comfortably in the back seat of the flying car, holding a glass of Essence of Gan Wu, a famous fine liquor from the Gan Wu Universe Country.

Its main appeal was its dreamlike flavor, which relaxed both body and mind and brought delight.

Of course, its price was equally impressive: one hundred million Universe Coins per bottle. An ordinary planet only cost around three hundred thousand Universe Coins.

Every sip Jin Yu took was worth several planets. Even a World Master-level powerhouse would ache at the thought.

The average World Master's net worth was only around ten Hun Yuan units, or one trillion Universe Coins.

And that was their total fortune, accumulated over tens of millions of years.

Calculated out, they could only earn about one million Universe Coins per year.

One bottle of liquor cost the equivalent of a century's earnings. How could they bear to drink it?

But this amount of money was not even one ten-millionth of what he had earned from the Giant Axe Arena betting matches. He would not feel the slightest pain even if he drank it like sweet water.

"Jin Yu, in the words of you Earthlings, you're standing there talking without knowing another's pain!"

"Do you know how much hardship the Old Master and I endured when we started from nothing? For tens of millions of years, we barely enjoyed ourselves at all. There simply wasn't enough money to spend."

"It was only after the Old Master broke through to become an Immortal being, gained an endless lifespan, and reached a bottleneck in his strength that he slowly managed to save up some money."

Babata leaped up, his projection inside the flying car waving its arms in grief and indignation.

"You think everyone is like you, reaching the peak the moment you started out! You directly inherited such an enormous fortune!"

At this point, Babata deflated as well. Even if the Old Master were still alive, his assets would be far inferior to those of Jin Yu, a mere Stellar-level warrior.

It was simply absurd!

"Tch, then go inherit something yourselves if you have the ability. I got this through my own skills. You can't envy it." Jin Yu looked rather smug.

He had possessed the body through his own abilities. Luo Feng had also possessed an identical Golden Horned Beast, so why had Luo Feng not inherited anything?

Besides, compared to the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual he had fleeced from City Lord Luo, what was this little bit of money? It did not even count as scraps.

If they were truly compared, even a Supreme Treasure would be far inferior in value.

The Nine Tribulations Secret Manual was a super Secret Technique that increased genetic levels while also enhancing comprehension. Luo Feng's rise to become number one in the Universe Sea owed an enormous debt to the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual.

So people truly could not be compared. One person's goal was Rome, while another had been born in Rome.

"Fine, fine, you're rich. Anyway, you said it yourself—whatever I earn is mine." Babata only pretended to be angry for a moment before becoming happy again.

Because Jin Yu despised the Giant Axe Arena's stinginess, aside from ordering the slaves to continue participating in the betting matches, he handed his own betting qualification over to Babata.

"Everything you earn is yours. Consider it a reward for your little treasury." Jin Yu could not stand Babata's miserly ways and was happy to let him taste a little sweetness.

Babata was an Intelligent Life following him. What kind of sense did it make for him to be so poor and shabby?

"Haha, good. After this thousand-match investment round, I can earn fifty thousand Hun Yuan units." Babata happily calculated how to spend the money.

Even when Hu Yanbo was alive, the money Babata could freely allocate had never exceeded ten thousand Hun Yuan units.

After all, even poorer Immortal beings only possessed assets worth around a hundred Hun Yuan units.

"Jin Yu, why isn't your Emperor avatar joining the Giant Axe Arena? Why is he instead rushing to join the Gan Wu Secret Realm?" Babata used a portion of his computing power to ask in confusion.

Even as an Intelligent Life, he could not understand many of Jin Yu's arrangements at all.

For instance, participating in the martial battles was completely meaningless. Other than earning some money, it served little purpose.

And coming to the Gan Wu Universe Country was inferior to cultivating on Earth and waiting for the Genius Battle, which was only a few years away.

And now, preparing to join the Gan Wu Secret Realm—there was too little time left, so it did not seem particularly meaningful either.

In Babata's view, the best plan was to seize the time to comprehend laws while learning the Space Secret Technique "Ten Thousand Lines Flow" or "Control Space."

Then, with Jin Yu's talent and the Law of Gold plus the Law of Space, he would be absolutely invincible. Entering the top thousand in the universe would be as easy as reaching out his hand.

"Do you understand the importance of saving time or not? And to put it bluntly, do you think joining the Virtual Universe Company is really that easy? Do you think its resources are free?"

"The benefits of joining the Gan Wu Secret Realm will definitely surpass those of joining the Giant Axe Arena or the Virtual Universe Company."

Babata neither agreed nor disagreed with Jin Yu's words, feeling that Jin Yu was talking nonsense.

But how could he know that the ruler of the Gan Wu Universe Country was a genuine old debtor who had owed money for hundreds of millions of years, eagerly waiting to nurture geniuses to repay his debts?

As long as Jin Yu shone brightly enough, the benefits would be far more than a little. If a Universe Venerable made a move, Jin Yu would definitely be fed until his belly was full and round.
