The goods, worth around 1.15 million in actual value, consisted entirely of crystals.
Treasures like the Sea God Orchid were too rare, while Xiluo had no interest at all in more ordinary ones.
After obtaining these things, he did not rush to consume them.
Instead, he went to look at the matchups for the round of 32, for which the draw had already concluded.
He picked out a few matches he could bet on.
This time, because the proportion of metal dragons was higher,
Xiluo played it safe and wagered only 600,000 gold coins in total.
Gordon likewise wagered only 600,000, while the other dragons bet nearly everything they had.
Only then did Xiluo return to his lair.
From his previous experience, Xiluo knew that consuming these crystals was extremely time-consuming as well.
He had spent far too long matching wits and strength with those adult dragons earlier.
Now, Xiluo feared that if he swallowed everything, he would end up missing the matches.
So he consumed only about 500,000 gold coins' worth of goods, finally waking up two hours before the matches...
In the matches that followed,
without any doubt,
Xiluo, Gordon, and Allen advanced once again, joining the final sixteen.
The 600,000 gold coins Xiluo had wagered became 1.02 million. Combined with his existing gold, he now had 1.45 million gold coins on hand.
By this point, Gordon had stopped trying to be clever with accumulator bets.
Instead, he obediently wagered 600,000 gold coins just like Xiluo, likewise turning it into 1.02 million. Combined with what he had left from before, he now held 1.28 million gold coins.
Allen's 262,200 became 445,000.
Abel still tried a few clever tricks, so his 131,000 only became 193,000 gold coins.
The young she-dragon did the same, turning her 152,000 into only 221,000
