Chapter 47 Liu Yan’s Hobbies
A few minutes later, in the gym.
Chuchu, drenched in sweat, stepped out of the combat pod and immediately saw Liu Yan smiling at her. That smile was radiant, with a faint fox-like charm hidden within it.
The sight made Chuchu’s scalp tingle.
“Commander, I used your combat pod. I hope you don’t mind?” Chuchu asked, a little embarrassed.
“That’s a small matter,” Liu Yan dismissed it casually. “Chuchu, let me ask you, are you a Level-4 genetic warrior?”
“Yes!” Chuchu replied.
“And what’s your combat power index?”
“199!”
“Hiss~~!” Liu Yan inhaled sharply. “That high?!”
This girl was indeed no ordinary person. Instinctively, Liu Yan thought of Qin Feng.
That guy is even more terrifying!
This pair of siblings… They aren’t simple at all!
Could they be disciples of some hidden master, out here for training?
As that thought crossed her mind, Liu Yan’s gaze towards Chuchu changed subtly.
“By the way, where’s your brother?”
At the mention of Qin Feng, thoughts of his tall, sturdy figure reignited a fire in Liu Yan’s heart. She had already prepared her schoolgirl and maid outfits, just waiting for the evening to “interact” with him.
“My brother’s in seclusion.”
“Uh, he’s really in seclusion?” Liu Yan was caught off guard.
Could it be that the guy sought her out just to find a place to train?
But no matter, once he finished, she’d handle him. After all, he was right in her home—he wouldn’t be able to escape.
Liu Yan licked her lips. She had her sights set on Qin Feng, the “fresh meat,” and wasn’t letting go.
However, she wasn’t in too much of a hurry now, because something else had piqued her interest.
“Chuchu, let me ask you—how long have you been practicing combat?”
“Not long!” Chuchu answered truthfully.
As expected! Liu Yan grew even more excited.
She continued, “Have you ever been on the Global Combat Network?”
“No! I haven’t even registered an account yet!”
“That’s perfect!” Liu Yan slapped her thigh in excitement.
Chuchu blinked, confused.
After calming down, Liu Yan eagerly said, “Chuchu, let me take you to have some fun on the Global Combat Network.”
“Okay!” Chuchu grew excited as well. “What are we going to play?”
The little girl had long wanted to enter the Global Combat Network. However, in this era, accessing the internet required a network access card. Chuchu didn’t have one, but Liu Yan did!
“We’re going to gamble-fight! Since you’ve never been on the Combat Network, your record is 0. Many people will underestimate you. This will be a perfect chance to win a lot of money!”
The moment gambling was mentioned, Liu Yan’s excitement was palpable—it was one of her favorite hobbies. One major reason she had her eyes on Qin Feng was that he had incredible luck with gambling.
At the Yuanqi Pavilion, he had opened two sets of 100% amplified premium weapons in a row and even helped her get one with 86% amplification. She dreamed of finding a boyfriend with such amazing luck to keep by her side, ensuring her gambling fortunes would be endless.
The mere thought excited her.
“You can earn money from combat gambling?” Chuchu asked curiously.
“Of course! I’ll help you register an account, find someone to set up a betting match, and provide you with the capital. Afterward, we’ll split the winnings—let’s say, sixty-forty, with you getting sixty percent!” Liu Yan proposed eagerly.
The last time she went to the Yuanqi Pavilion, she had gambled away most of her money on weapons. This time, she wanted to win some back.
“Well…” Chuchu scratched her head, “I think I should ask my brother first.”
“Your brother’s in seclusion; we can’t disturb him. Don’t you want to make money? With your current strength, paired with top-tier mecha, your overall power could rival a one-star elementalist.”
“I could rival a one-star elementalist?” Chuchu’s eyes lit up with joy. “Really?”
She had always dreamed of becoming as powerful as a one-star elementalist.
“Of course! But you’ll need a top-tier mecha, and even the cheapest one will cost at least thirty to fifty million credits. If you gamble-fight, you could earn that much quickly.”
“That much money?!” Chuchu was tempted. “All right, I’ll go with you!”
“Hehe! Now that’s the spirit!”
Liu Yan was over the moon. She immediately activated the network and took Chuchu into the Global Combat Network.
Fifteen minutes later, in the Southern Alliance Zone of the Global Combat Network.
Liu Yan and Chuchu appeared in the virtual combat plaza. Chuchu marveled at the statues, fountains, and the crowd bustling around.
As humanity had advanced, virtual network technology had become increasingly sophisticated, making this digital world look incredibly realistic.
In this power-driven world, online combat had become the most popular form of entertainment, and many combat stars had emerged from it, garnering immense fan followings.
“Sister Yan, where are we going?” Chuchu asked, now quite familiar with Liu Yan.
“We’re heading to the Pure Combat Zone! Pure combat mode relies solely on skill, making it more balanced, so it’s a great place for gambling fights. Lots of money to be made there!” The thought of betting had Liu Yan pumped.
Fifteen minutes later, in the Pure Combat Zone, at the Information Hall.
A large crowd was gathered around the announcement screen, reading the updates.
Chuchu joined in to take a look, while Liu Yan busily set up a gambling match announcement.
Moments later, an announcement popped up on the gambling board:
Announcement: Newcomer ‘Yunyang Xiao Chuchu’ has issued a gambling fight with a 10 million-Tong coins wager, already deposited with the platform. The battle will take place in Room A019!
The announcement included a photo of the challenger—a cute little girl, none other than Chuchu. Her combat account name was Yunyang Xiao Chuchu. Next to the photo, more information was displayed:
Yunyang Xiao Chuchu, Gender: Female, Age: 13, Previous Combat Record: None.
The announcement caused quite a stir.
“Damn! A 13-year-old girl has the guts to do this?!”
“Yeah! No combat history, and she’s betting ten million. Talk about being young and rich!”
“Haha!! That’s the joy of being loaded! You poor folks wouldn’t understand!”
“Who cares about her fun! I’m betting on this for sure!”
“Haha! Me too! This little girl’s an easy target!”
The crowd grew excited, with many eagerly signing up for the match.
Liu Yan snickered to herself. All these people assumed Chuchu was a pushover. Soon enough, they’d be the ones crying.
To be fair, it wasn’t unreasonable for them to think that way.
After all, Chuchu was only 13 years old. How much combat experience could she possibly have?
These seasoned veterans had decades of experience. Facing a 13-year-old girl would be a piece of cake—or so they thought.
