I'll definitely help you beat that guy until he cries uncontrollably!
Same old rule as always: since I've taken your money, I'll make sure you feel you got 100% value for your money!
"Eh... Eh?!"
No, it's not...
What is Qiji- chan saying?!
What does it mean to "beat Suyo until he cries uncontrollably"?
She gave money to Qiji, not to hire thugs or beat someone up!!!
Seeing that Bai Lili Qiji had completely misunderstood her meaning, Bai Lili's watery eyes widened suddenly, and she was about to explain.
However, the school bell rang at that very moment.
Qiji pulled out real money to support Boss Bai, waved his hand, and with the belief that he must give Suyo a good "beating", turned around and walked towards the center of the training field.
There—
Unaware of what awaited him, Suyo looked at Qiji with a defiant expression, having waited for him for a long time.
Bai Lili, left behind after being misunderstood, stood there dumbfounded.
Just imagine what might happen next...
The girl's vision went black; she was too afraid to watch the competition any longer!
Upon hearing the bell, the students who had taken advantage of the remaining time to buy snacks, pickled vegetables, and drinks rushed back as fast as they could, clutching their treats.
The Attention "Suyo vs. Qiji" battle, which has been brewing for a week, is finally about to begin!
Everyone excitedly turned their gaze to the square arena in the center of the training field, which had been marked out and was covered with a special floor.
One school cannot tolerate two people wearing the same mask! Unless one is male and the other female!
"Go for it, Lord Suyo! Since you said you'd knock off Qiji's mask, you absolutely have to keep your word!"
Clearly, among the audience, there were more students who supported Suyo!
The area where Class One is located --
As the class monitor, Panyan turned to look at the hooded man beside him.
This guy's name is Tian Hao. He comes from the same preparatory school as Qiji and claims to be very familiar with Qiji.
"Tian Hao, who do you think will win between them? You know Qiji best in our class, so share your thoughts."
"Eh? Cough cough..."
Upon hearing this, a fleeting hint of embarrassment crossed Tian Hao's face.
Being "very close" with Qiji, etc...
He was definitely bragging!
During his time at the preparatory school, Qiji was always alone and had no friends.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible for him to have anyone he knows well.
However, during this month, Qiji became extremely famous at school.
It's generating a huge buzz! It's incredibly popular!
Simply include "Qiji" in your chat and you'll immediately receive the treatment of being the center of attention!
All the girls in the class would swarm around him, fawning over him and asking him about Qiji.
This feeling of being surrounded by people, this feeling of being the center of attention...
It made him feel like he was floating on air, unable to stop!
He can never go back!
As a result, boasting gradually became second nature to him.
Things like "I'm very close to Qiji" and "We train together every day."
Even —
"I often beat him in practice matches too..."
The more they boasted, the more they lost control and became embarrassed.
When the class monitor asked him about it, he could only keep his composure.
He crossed his hands and placed them under his nose, adopting a profound and contemplative posture, and spoke in a deliberately low, all-knowing voice:
"Without a doubt, the Suyo Alumni Association has won this battle!"
Panyan and the other students in the class who were listening attentively nodded, agreeing that it made sense.
However, Tian Hao then changed the subject:
"But if Suyo loses, then Qiji Jaku wins!"
"... ah???"
So, what I mean is—
Both are possible, that's the answer!
Chapter Sixty-One: I Didn't Originally Intend to Use Dimensional Reduction Strike
Amid cheers, jeers, and encouragement, Qiji calmly stepped onto the ring.
He has very sharp ears; when he went on stage, he overheard Yuejian and Teacher Jing discussing spinach.
Judging from what they said, the betting had been going on for about a week.
Upon hearing this, Qiji's eyes immediately lit up!
This is outrageous! They didn't include me in the opening sale?
A fool wouldn't take the money!
Qiji also tossed the purse she had just received from Bai Lili to Yuejian:
"Lao Yue, count me in! Bet on me to win!"
Yuejian took the money pouch and weighed it in her hand, surprised that this kid seemed to have quite a bit of money.
Then, as if remembering something, he suddenly appeared on the arena.
Without any hesitation, he put his arm around Qiji and squatted down with him in the corner of the ring.
Incredibly, he openly colluded with his own students to devise a "betting scheme" right under everyone's noses!
"How do you want to bet? The odds for a straight win are too low. How about we combine it with a big/small bet at a later time? What do you think?"
Yuejian handed the paper with the odds printed on it to Qiji.
Qiji glanced at it and found that even though it was just a simple competition, the betting options were surprisingly varied.
However, if you're going to let him buy, he should naturally buy the one with the highest odds!
"Buy this, all of it."
Yuejian glanced at Qiji's finger and was stunned.
I never expected this brat to go this far!
Qiji bought was—
At 9 minutes and 10 seconds, Qiji won.
In addition to the rules for winning, the time limit for winning is also specified, down to the second!
"No way, you're not thinking the money's too hot to handle, are you? Are you sure you want to buy like this? A second earlier or a second later, and you'll lose everything!"
"Sure."
Qiji nodded, then unceremoniously reached out and took the exquisitely crafted and expensive mechanical watch from the still-shocked Yuejian's wrist.
"Huh?! You..."
Yuejian taken aback, then a pained expression appeared on her face. She wanted to take it back but held back, only repeatedly reminding him...
"Be careful later! Don't break my watch! It's very valuable!"
"Don't worry, I'll eat it if it's spoiled."
"Oh, right, this is an alarm clock with an alarm function. Remember to set the time! Nine minutes and ten seconds!"
Qiji waved his hand, indicating that he knew.
This is his money; he will definitely, absolutely, and certainly care about it.
Anyone who tries to make him lose money, he'll end their life!
The viewers in the live chat laughed when they saw this.
Immediately, some trolls jumped out again, attempting to slander Qiji's great character:
"Lao Yue, what do you mean by 'your watch'? It's on our Brother Ji's wrist, and you want it back?"
"Hilarious! Hajiqi your eye on, I told you so!"
Of course, some viewers in the live chat were also focused on the betting.
Many viewers who had previously enjoyed the benefits of betting games requested that Qiji's live stream also offer betting games.
Qiji saw this, and being a streamer who dotes on her fans, she generously granted their request.
[Bite!]
[System notification: Special item "Guessing Card" successfully used!]
As the betting opened, Qiji casually clicked on the live betting page and glanced at it.
But he laughed.
Despite the loud cheers in the live stream supporting Suyo, the votes overwhelmingly favored those who voted for Qiji to win.
Watching that unserious teacher and student whispering to each other for a long time by the ring.
Suyo, who had been waiting quietly and trying her best to maintain her composure, finally let out a throbbing vein on her forehead beneath her mask!
She glanced at referee Teacher Kijika, who was also looking on with disbelief and sighing, and could no longer contain herself.
"Teacher, may we begin? Please ask any unrelated personnel to leave the ring!"
Teacher Kijika had also had enough of Yuejian's shameful behavior, and upon hearing this, she stepped forward.
Without any hesitation, he grabbed Tsukimi by the back of his Yuejian and dragged him away from Qiji like a reluctant large dog.
On the arena, only Suyo and Qiji remained, standing on opposite sides.
Suyo looked at Qiji, slightly raised his chin, and asked in a cold voice:
"Were you betting on yourself to lose just now?"
Qiji shook his head. "I don't do business that loses money."
"So you bet on yourself to win?"
"Yes, that's right," Qiji said matter-of-factly.
Then, he glanced at the audience.
Lao Yue gave him an "OK" sign, indicating that the game was closed.
Seeing this, Qiji began to speak calmly and confidently:
"I bet on myself to win, and I'll beat you at 9 minutes and 10 seconds."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in uproar!
