Ignoring Zhao Ruo's calls, Zhang Junbao went off to borrow money on his own.
Although he had money, he didn't want to pay for it all himself because the stakes were too high. But if he got a few geniuses to bet together and share the risk of winning, things would be different.
Others also benefited, and if Candace later denies his promise or tries to renege, a coalition of several talented students can effectively counterbalance him.
"Hahaha, see that? That poor bastard from Huaxia actually went to borrow money. He's really gone crazy from poverty."
The people on the European side laughed until tears streamed down their faces when they saw Zhang Junbao's embarrassing situation of running into walls everywhere.
" William, teach this newcomer a lesson later. Let him know that the geniuses of the Elite Training Camp are not like this country bumpkin who popped up from who-knows-where."
"Yes, 30 billion!"
This bumpkin actually agreed to fight me in the ' Challenge Room ' without using his Spiritual Force, just to save face for Spirit Reader. A Junior War General?
I can easily take on ten!
William was overjoyed; he hadn't expected Candace to actually offer him his sword as a wager.
30 billion! Even his family would have to put in a lot of effort to come up with that amount. Geniuses are indeed different from one another. His family was just a minor noble family in Europe, and he only started to rise to prominence after entering the Elite Training Camp.
That's why William was even more aware of how terrifying the resources Candace, who was even more talented than him, possessed.
As the first heir of the powerful Polenas Family in the HR Alliance, Candace was highly regarded by his family, and countless resources were poured into him, which made him Candace is today.
Just by looking at his equipment, you can tell that a martial arts contest is not only about individual strength, but also about resources.
Two equally skilled martial artists, one dressed in full combat gear and the other in ordinary clothes, the outcome of their battle was obvious.
"Hmph! Some nobody dares to covet my sword. William, teach him a lesson!"
Candace never considered the possibility that William might lose.
Zhang Junbao's battle record indicates that his strength is at the Junior War General, a fact they had already investigated. Moreover, he is Spirit Reader, and it is generally acknowledged that Spirit Reader are weak in close combat. How can an 18-year-old Junior War General, without Spiritual Force, compare to William, who has been in the Training Camp for over a year?
"Can you borrow any money? Do you want me to lend you some? Hahaha..." William glanced at Zhang Junbao with disdain and asked with a smile.
"I definitely can, are you willing to bet?" Zhang Junbao answered confidently.
But from the other side's perspective, it was simply a show of bravado.
"Alright, I'll bet you 30 billion Huaxia Currency with this sword, as long as you don't say you don't have enough money later!" William's Mandarin wasn't great, but once he made up his mind, his eyes were full of determination. No one who gets into the Elite Training Camp is easy to get into.
"Good, that's great!" Zhang Junbao smiled; the fish had taken the bait!
"You're talking about a timeframe, don't drag it out for years, I'll have already graduated by then!" William said provocatively.
"Tomorrow morning, in the Challenge Room, see you there!" Zhang Junbao said.
It's impossible to give an exact time because there's only one Challenge Room, and other participants might be using it. So, we have to wait for the computer system to process it before we can give an exact time.
"Okay!" William agreed, and the students behind him all smiled. They hadn't expected that someone would be so eager to give them money.
Jiangnan Pavilion.
Even Senior Brother Shi Jiang, who went to cultivate at the Nine-Story Tower, rushed back to the Jiangnan Pavilion immediately after hearing the news. No matter what, Shi Jiang, Zhao Ruo, and Zhang Junbao are all from Jiangnan Base City of Huaxia Country!
They also came from Jiang Nan, and they had entered the Training Camp before Zhang Junbao and were also older.
" Junbao, you're being too impulsive!" Zhao Ruo said angrily, "That's 30 billion, not 3 million, and certainly not 300 yuan."
You can't use Spiritual Force in the Challenge Room, even if you're Spirit Reader!
Zhao Ruo said angrily, "Many of those who have just entered the Elite Training Camp have been deceived by some senior students into 'gambling battles'."
Nine times out of ten, they'll lose... You're a genius among geniuses, but who among those who enters this Training Camp isn't a genius among geniuses?
Moreover, they all studied at the Training Camp for a long time.
Shi Jiang, however, noticed Zhang Junbao's composure. Although they had only known each other for a short time, Shi Jiang knew that Zhang Junbao was not the impulsive type.
"Alright, Zhao Ruo. Does Junbao look like someone who doesn't know how much 30 billion is?"
Junbao, are you confident?
Zhang Junbao smiled mysteriously and said, "You guys said that William's Combat Power Amplitude is 'medium,' right?"
Taking advantage of the opportunity to borrow money, Zhang Junbao also gathered a lot of information about William. After all, every student he had lent money to would explain to him the difference in strength between him and William.
"Yes!" Zhao Ruo replied.
"Then it's alright." Zhang Junbao said calmly, then lay down on the sofa, ignoring Zhao Ruo face was already puffed up like a bun.
Because the two people are fighting to the death in virtual space, their physical attributes are exactly the same. Therefore, at this time, it depends on factors such as the explosive power of the punch, speed, and movement.
Combat Power Amplitude is equal to 'punch power level' multiplied by ' Trial Tower level'.
A Combat Power Amplitude of 1-2 indicates a beginner level. Most newly enrolled Elite Training Camp participants are at the beginner level.
Combat Power Amplitude of 2-4 is considered average. In Elite Training Camp, after a year and a half of training, one can generally reach the average level. That guy named ' William ' is average.
Combat Power Amplitude of 4-8 indicates an advanced level. This is considered Elite Training Camp, and qualified students have met the graduation standards.
Combat Power Amplitude 8-16 is considered excellent. This is the standard for 'outstanding trainees' in the Training Camp. Because the range of 8-16 is quite large, even among those who are considered excellent, there can be significant differences in strength.
Combat Power Amplitude greater than 16 indicates a top-tier (or super-tier) rating!
Even the world's strongest warriors, 'Hong' and ' Thunder God ', would probably be vying to take him as a disciple.
Even the world's major powers and organizations are willing to pay huge sums to invite such a person who can be described as 'unparalleled in talent and elegance'.
Zhang Junbao had already asked, and he had passed the B-grade Test of the Trial Tower. The Trial Tower level was 16. As for his Fist Force Amplitude, no one knew that Zhang Junbao had completed the Third Layer of the " World Destruction " training, and his Fist Force Amplitude had reached as high as 38!
Multiplying the two together, the result is 608, which, according to the amplitude classification, is considered to be in the middle of the high level. William's amplitude is in the middle level, meaning it is at most 4!
In terms of sheer power alone, it's a complete and utter defeat.
"It seems Junbao was confident all along."
"How much more is the 30 billion? You don't need my help, and we won't charge you interest." Shi Jiang asked.
How much can Senior Brother Shi Jiang lend me?
"I don't have much more, but three or five billion is still possible." Shi Jiang smiled. He had already seen through Zhang Junbao's previous predicament, which was just an act to lure William, or rather Candace, into a trap.
This junior brother is up to no good!
Aren't you afraid I'll lose and won't have the money to pay back?
"What am I afraid of, you're just a Spirit Reader? At worst, I'll tie you up in the Wilderness Zone and make you kill monsters to pay me back." Shi Jiang wasn't worried at all that Zhang Junbao wouldn't pay back the money.
"Then let's make it 3 billion. Senior sister, can you contribute some too? I'll help you earn some pocket money," Zhang Junbao said to Zhao Ruo with a grin.
"Forget it, I don't understand you two being so secretive. Just don't lose. I can't compare to you big shots. I can only give you 1 billion at most. If you don't pay me back, I'll be eating chaff starting next month!" Zhao Ruo said irritably.
Zhang Junbao had borrowed money from Huaxia students who had attended the banquet, but unfortunately, he only managed to borrow from seven or eight of them in the end.
Chu Qiang, who lent him the most, said he would lend him 5 billion yuan. According to Chu Qiang, if Zhang Junbao couldn't repay the debt, he would have to pay it off himself.
Several other students had been tricked by William and his group using similar methods before, and they were clamoring for Zhang Junbao to beat William up to vent their anger.
Adding Shi Jiang's 3 billion and Zhao Ruo's 1 billion, no one wanted the interest promised by Zhang Junbao.
Zhang Junbao, who had only been at the Training Camp for a few days, had already accumulated a debt of 12 billion yuan!
