Ling Yi accepts all bets.
For Ling Yi, the more people, the better. The more people, the more they bet, and the more they hate him once Ling Yi wins the arena.
At that time, it will surely bring you a large number of surnames.
However, the levels of these bettors are all a bit low. Even if they were to receive attribute feedback, it wouldn't be much. That won't do.
If we could bring in those banner lords, city lords, provincial lords, military lords, and so on, that would be perfect.
But how do we bring these people in?
Soon, the opportunity arose.
Wang Qiang is the son of Wang Jun, the guild leader of the Azure Dragon Guild, and is considered the crown prince of the Azure Dragon Guild.
But it's different from Yan Lü.
Yan Lü, a professional who awakened last year, has a C-level talent and is a level 12 professional archer.
This guy is actually quite capable.
But Wang Qiang is a complete waste; he has an E-level talent and his awakened profession is chef.
If we're really comparing talent, and who's more useless, he and Ling Yi are about equal.
Wang Jun is a handsome, seemingly gentle middle-aged Uncle, but one would never guess that his son would be a fat, good-for-nothing.
Therefore, although Wang Qiang is the heir of the Azure Dragon Guild, he is the target of Taunt at school.
However, to Ling Yi's surprise, although Wang Qiang looked simple-minded Dum-E, he was actually incredibly clever.
Especially his mental arithmetic and memory abilities are simply phenomenal.
They can clearly remember everyone's name and the amount each person bet.
That's actually a genius!
" Ling Yi, we can't let anyone place any more bets. The total amount wagered has already exceeded 20 million, the house has blown up," Wang Qiang warned Ling Yi.
The term "explosion of the banker" means that if Ling Yi loses, his two hundred million gold coins won't be enough to cover the losses.
"A banker getting blown out? A banker getting blown out doesn't mean you'll be cheated."
Ling Yi glanced towards the top stands; this opportunity had arrived.
He reopened his fake professional panel, but this time, he unfolded one compartment of the hidden system inventory.
When everyone saw the contents of the item in the compartment, the scene erupted in an uproar.
Then, more than a dozen figures rushed over and appeared in front of Ling Yi.
"Kid, is this Level-Up Pill real?" one of the older men in a suit asked, staring at Ling Yi.
"Old man, what's your name?" Ling Yi asked.
"You bastard, Ling Yi, show some respect! This is Liu Wenshan, the military Liu Jun of the Northern District of our Great Qian Empire. You..." Peng Bahu shouted from the side.
"No problem!" Liu Wenshan waved his hand, then said to Ling Yi, "Could you please take one out so that I can see it?"
Meng Yue once said that the Level-Up Pill is a special item that can only be obtained in the Glory Canyon.
This item can only be obtained from Glory Canyon; it won't drop in other dungeons or wilderness areas.
In other words, this is the first time that Level-Up Pill has appeared in this world.
Ling Yi took out an Level-Up Pill and threw it directly to Liu Wenshan.
Liu Wenshan was surprised that Ling Yi would give him the Level-Up Pill so easily, and his opinion of Ling Yi immediately rose.
He Light Lock the Level-Up Pill, as did the others.
The next moment, the upgraded individual attribute reappeared before everyone in its entirety.
[ Level-Up Pill, usable only by players below level 90. Upon consumption, it instantly increases your level by one, with no side effects, and can be reused.]
This data can actually be found in Ling Yi's professional backpack.
However, the profession panel can be faked. Some special professions, equipment, or items have the function of modifying the profession panel.
For example, the Assassin's skill Disguise allows you to disguise your character's stats.
Of course, high-level professionals can see through such disguises by assassins.
Only data that is presented after being held in hand can be considered authentic.
Liu Wenshan resisted the urge to swallow it whole and returned the Level-Up Pill to Ling Yi.
It wasn't that he didn't want to rob it, but that he couldn't, and dared not, rob it in person.
Otherwise, he would be dead.
The laws of the Great Qian Empire are no joke; he was merely a military commander, only at level 79 of the seventh rank.
He's been stuck at level 79 for a while now.
With his lifespan nearing its end, only by reaching level 80 and breaking through to the eighth stage can he gain another 10 years of lifespan.
This is also the main reason why he was the first to speak.
The others understood Liu Wenshan's situation, so none of them rushed to intervene.
This Level-Up Pill can easily allow him to break through to level 80 and increase his lifespan by 10 years.
"Young Brother Ling Yi, may I trade you an Level-Up Pill?" Liu Wenshan asked, trying his best to appear amiable.
His whole face was beaming like a chrysanthemum.
He had no choice but to do it; was this Level-Up Pill? This was his fate!
As for using underhanded methods? If it doesn't work openly, will it really work covertly?
Not to mention that from now on, Ling Yi will be watched by countless people. If someone really pushes Ling Yi Ling Yi far, he might just eat the Level-Up Pill. Who will he complain to then?
"I don't do deals!" Ling Yi put away the Level-Up Pill.
"Brother Ling Yi..." Liu Wenshan immediately became anxious.
"But you can place a bet, right? My Level-Up Pill is worth 2 billion gold coins, is that alright?" Ling Yi asked.
"It's definitely worth the price."
Level-Up Pill are useless to low-level professionals, but they are priceless treasures for professionals who have reached the sixth rank or above.
After all, for levels above 60, the experience required to level up is astronomical.
Not everyone can be like Ling Yi, grinding monsters in dungeons as easily as Wushuang cutting through grass.
"Therefore, if someone bets 200 million, and I fail to win first place in the arena, I will use one Level-Up Pill instead."
Liu Wenshan's pupils contracted. "How many Level-Up Pill do you have?"
Ling Yi, however, smiled but remained silent.
Those around immediately realized that Ling Yi had more than one Level-Up Pill in his hand.
And there are likely to be many of them.
But that's not the point. The point is, where did Ling Yi get this Level-Up Pill?
Some people with ulterior motives were already looking at Ling Yi with increasing fervor.
"I, Liu Wenshan, have placed a bet of one billion gold coins on five Level-Up Pill. Brother Ling Yi, do you dare to accept?"
Ling Yi patted Wang Qiang, who was already dumbfounded, and said, "They're placing a bet, record it!"
"Ah, yes!" Wang Qiang stammered as he wrote down Liu Wenshan's name and the amount bet in his notebook.
Liu Wenshan also directly traded 1 billion gold coins to Ling Yi.
With Liu Wenshan taking the lead, others followed suit and started placing bets.
Another military leader in the Northern District, Zhao Hong, who is also the Peng Bahu, placed a bet of 1 billion gold coins.
Guan Xiaoyun, the leader of the Eastern District Army, bet 1 billion gold coins; Gao Yao, the leader of the Southern District Army, bet 1 billion gold coins.
All four military leaders who came to Dafeng City this time placed bets.
Those around them were trembling with fear.
Good heavens, in such a short Kung Fu Hustle, Ling Yi has earned 4 billion. Ten times the compensation is 40 billion! Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.
But this is not the end.
Does the military commander want to Level-Up Pill, provincial commander, city commander, or even those banner commanders?
Then there are the Great Shang and guilds.
Who wouldn't want a hundred or so of these reusable items that Ignore grade?
In the blink of an eye, the total amount wagered exceeded 10 billion.
Little Fatty Wang Qiang was completely dumbfounded.
He never imagined that one day he would handle so many gold coins. Although the coins didn't end up in his hands, he was involved in the whole process!
The tournament won't start for another two hours.
Ling Yi sat in the spot closest to the arena, listening to the report from the chubby boy, Wang Qiang.
" Big Shot, the total number of bettors this time is 23,422, and the total bet amount is 13.35279 billion gold coins."
"Aren't you going to place a bet?" Ling Yi asked Wang Qiang.
"Hehe, Big Shot, I'm not Big Shot. If you dare to take such a big bet, you must be confident of winning. I won't do a deal that loses money."
Ling Yi gave him an approving look; this chubby boy actually understood things quite well.
"Do you think the military leaders can't see this point?"
"I can see it clearly."
"Then why would they place bets?"
"To befriend, to test the waters."
Ling Yi nodded; this chubby kid is really something.
"Want to work with me from now on?" Ling Yi asked, though it was just a casual question.
This chubby guy is talented, it's just that his profession is terrible. But changing professions is no big deal for Ling Yi.
" Big Shot, I'd love to follow you, but my talent is terrible. I'm only an E-level talent, and my profession is chef. My life is pretty much over," Wang Qiang said dejectedly.
To put it bluntly, this kid is just insecure and feels unworthy to associate with Big Shot shot like Ling Yi.
But the fact that the chubby boy said that proves he's actually a pretty good person.
If the chubby boy had agreed immediately, Ling Yi would have looked down on him.
I'm just asking if you want to work with me.
"Think!"
Let's make a deal!
Looking at the pop-up trade interface and the items on it, the chubby boy's face was filled with disbelief, and he trembled with excitement.
[ Magic Warrior Class Change Scroll. Use this scroll to directly change your job to Magic Warrior.]
The introduction is simple, but its value is phenomenal.
" Big Shot!"
"Call me boss!"
"Boss, this, this is too valuable, I..." Wang Qiang's surname made him instinctively want to refuse, but he just couldn't bring himself to say it.
This is a chance to change his destiny; how could he remain indifferent?
Remembering his classmates' disdain, his teachers' Taunt, and his father's disappointment, Wang Qiang found it even harder to say no.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Qiang clicked "Agree to Transaction".
Then, he solemnly said to Ling Yi, "Boss, from this day forward, I, Wang Qiang, will never betray you, for all eternity. Otherwise, I will surely be struck down by heaven and earth and die a horrible death."
Ling Yi patted him on the shoulder without saying anything more.
Ling Yi Ling Yi never believed in such vows, and he didn't care whether they would be betrayed.
In his previous life, when he was a big scoundrel, he heard many such vows.
But in the end? Those who were destined to betray still betrayed.
If Wang Qiang really dares to betray him, Ling Yi will personally fulfill his vow.
The news of Ling Yi taking charge spread like wildfire.
Before the arena competition even started, the entire internet knew about Ling Yi's 10 billion bet and his possession of Level-Up Pill.
Countless powerful individuals, upon learning of this news, dropped everything they were doing and rushed to Dafeng City.
Level-Up Pill are extremely valuable, especially for high-level powerhouses.
The higher the level, the more Level-Up Pill are needed.
