“I’ll raise it by 10,000 dark matter. Dare to play another round?!”
Abet?
Can they actually place bets without proper authority?!
“Haha, more dark matter as a gift? Why should I not accept?!”
The man on the left immediately accepted the challenge.
A relevant information appeared on the dueling platform:
[Blue Team: w.a.n.g Fu Tu]
[Red Team: Li Wei Bo]
[Current bet: 10,000 dark matter]
[This duel uses a one-on-one mode. Each side can scan up to a hundred military units to engage in a virtual combat environment…]
The bet was legally allowed to establish in public!
He had not expected that the empire would actually allow such activities.
But upon further thought, it seemed reasonable.
In recent days, he had discussed with Colonel Chu many times and had come to a conclusion about the Milky Way Empire.
The Empire’s goal of unifying the universe was only after the dark matter.
As for their claims of saving the universe, they might be true, but most likely they were just false story.
That must be the main reason why the Empire tried their best to encourage everyone to spend.
Around the square were various entertainment facilities, very tempting for everyone to try out.
Especially with the beast-eared maidens shop; even Zhao Yu was curious about it.
Luckily, being short of budget kept him grounded. These days, he could only get glimpses of the mysteries inside from others’ show-offs.
Such mysteries lured many to spend.
A rumor has spread that the most extravagant spender had borrowed and spent ten million grams of dark matter in short period.
One gram of dark matter was equivalent to one intelligent life form. Everyone knew this on the first day.
Zhao Yu got used to it as n.o.body seemed to care now.
If their own people were not concerned about their race why should he bother?
Moreover, every civilization had to offer dark matter to the empire annually. This was unchangeable.
Only one person would be exempted from the yearly debt by sustaining as first rank throughout the whole year.
As result, over 100000 civilizations had to refining their citizens into dark matter.
Zhao Yu understood this challenge was tough and cruel yet he wanted to try his best not to sacrifice any of his people.
Deep down, he hoped to keep the Earth safe. Otherwise, he feared that one day he might lose himself completely and become a demon.
“Turn on the spectating function!”
Zhao Yu shifted his focus back to the duel.
The two in the arena had already started dueling, The audience could not view it as streaming was disabled, so they could only wait for the result.
Soon most of the audience left, while others stayed, eager to see who would win.
Zhao Yu chose to stay to figure out whether a open bet was identify as legal activity.
This might could be his alternative way to earn dark matter aside of the ranking system.
After about ten minutes, the result was out.
The left side lit up with a flashing blue light while the red on the right dimmed.
“The blue side won again!”
Those who had been watching the duel from the start viewed the platform’s way of celebrating the winner was amazing.
At the same time, the two compet.i.tors regained their conscious from the duel system.
“Think you can beat me? Maybe in another ten thousand years! HAHAHAHA!”
w.a.n.g Fu Tu laughed uncontrollably and humiliated him constantly.
On the right, Li Wei Bo’s was p.i.s.sed off by w.a.n.g Fu Tu humiliation.
“Li Wei Bo, just quit already. Admit your loss and walk off.”
“Yeah, you’ve lost three rounds. The difference in skill is clear.”
People around began to advise him.
They never knew each other beforehand, just everyone had a unique number and an ID name on top of their heads in Count’s Island,
Just like in a video game, his name ‘Zhao Yu’ was displaying on top of his head.
We could instantly recognize someone’s name.
Some tried to comfort Li Wei Bo, but it only has negative impact toward Li Wei Bo.
“Let’s do it again. I don’t believe 1 can’t beat you!!” Li Wei Bo stared at w.a.n.g Fu Tu and declared another round loudly.
“Boring! you are too weak. Do you even know how to determine our gap?!”
w.a.n.g Fu Tu sneered.” I didn’t even use my nuclear weapon. You can’t even win. Furthermore, it only feels like bullying you…”
Surrounding people started to show interest to know more about this “nuclear bomb”.
As for the statement of Li Wei Bo to rematch, most of them thought it as joke.
“No way, Li Wei Bo. Your civilization has not even developed nuclear weapons, and you still dare to bet?!”
“Exactly, nuclear and firearm are totally two different levels.”
“In my opinion, just admit defeat…”
Li Wei Bo became even more tense, yelling, “one hundred thousand dark
Li Wei Bo became even more tense, yelling, “one hundred thousand dark matter, one more game…”
“You haven’t developed nuclear weapons. Your world’s population is probably less than a billion, right?”
w.a.n.g Fu Tu shook his head, “With such a small population, you may not even produce enough dark matter annually. If you lose again, your civilization might be doomed in a few years.”
Hearing this, people around respected w.a.n.g Futu even more.
“Good job, w.a.n.g Fu Tu. Didn’t expect you to be so n.o.ble, thinking about your opponent…”
“I admire you. If it were me, 1 would definitely earn that one hundred thousand dark matter…”
Li Wei Bo became even more desperate, “One million dark matter, one more game, I must win you!”
w.a.n.g Fu Tu paused, then said, “As I said, your civilization is underdeveloped. You are no match to me. Think about the rest of your people.”
People started praising w.a.n.g Fu Tu even more, they wanted to be friends with him.
“Two million. If you don’t fight with me, I’ll stalk you everywhere…” Li Wei Bo’s eyes were filled with anxiety.
At the same time, the people around w.a.n.g Fu Tu tried to persuade him to teach Li Wei Bo a lesson.
w.a.n.g Fu Tu frowned, but after others urged him, he said, “I didn’t want to make it hard for you, I’ll bet with you one last time.”
“Alright, let’s do it!”
Soon, the two of them decided on the bet and started the battle again under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
As the stakes increased, more and more people gathered around.
Zhao Yu was also pushed from the middle seat to the back row.
Helplessly, he could only observed the battle through the gap between the people.
Another ten minutes pa.s.sed. The battle ended, and a blue light flashed.
“Blue team wins again!”
Everyone exclaimed.
” Two million dark matter, just like that…”
Everyone looked at w.a.n.g Futu with admiration.
“One more time!”
Yet, Li Wei Bo was planning for another round
“I said that was the last one. I’m leaving,” w.a.n.g Fu Tu tried to leave, avoiding further ha.s.sle.
“Three million, are you in or out?” Li Wei Bo kept raising the bet.
The surrounding people could not help but sigh.
“Poor civilization to have a leader like Li Wei Bo.”
“Yes, he already lost more than two million and still wants to add more. At this rate, the entire world’s population won’t be enough to cover his debts.”
“Shut up!”
Li Weibo angrily rebuked, as if he was unhappy with their comments about him.
His reb.u.t.tal immediately aroused the emotions of many people. They criticized his stubbornness would only lead his civilization to destruction.
Li Wei Bo retorted for a while, but he really couldn’t fight against most people. He turned around and wanted to wash away his humiliation through w.a.n.g Fu Tu.
However, he realized that the other party had already left.
“w.a.n.g Fu Tu, come back!” At this moment, he was like a crazy gambler, shouting loudly, making people feel that his mental state was somewhat abnormal.
“There is always a risk in a gambling match. One must be careful when entering a pit…”
“Let’s move on, just another crazy one!”
“Who wants to bet with me? Three million…” Li Wei Bo started to search for new match..
