Chapter 48 Money Is Rolling In
“Sister Yan, isn’t 10 million a bit too much? What if I lose…?” Chuchu felt a bit nervous, staring at the staggering bet.
“Don’t be afraid! Even if you lose, it’s not your fault. Let’s go!” Liu Yan was brimming with confidence in Chuchu.
Before long, they entered Room A019.
The room was already packed with onlookers.
At that moment, everyone was enviously eyeing the ten people standing within the spotlight ahead.
In each gambling match, only ten participants could challenge at most. If more than ten signed up, the first ten to register would be selected in order.
“These ten guys are really lucky!”
“Yeah! I just hesitated for a second and missed my chance.”
Many in the crowd expressed their regrets.
They all wanted a piece of Chuchu, the “fat sheep,” but luck wasn’t on their side.
At this point, the lucky ten were all looking at Chuchu with fawning smiles.
“Little sister, quickly pick one of us for a match!”
“Choose me! I’m really weak!”
“Little sister, pick me! I’m super easy to beat—one punch and I’m down!”
They started to humble themselves, afraid they wouldn’t be chosen by Chuchu, losing their chance at the 10 million.
The surrounding crowd looked on with disdain.
These guys were shameless.
“Sister Yan, who should I pick?” Chuchu was a little at a loss, as this was her first gambling duel.
“Hehe! Only kids make choices—we’ll take them all!” Liu Yan said, smirking, then turned to the group, “My sister is willing to duel with all ten of you. If you’re not confident, we can follow the agreement mode. Do you agree?”
The crowd gasped.
“Damn! Is this woman insane?”
“I think she is! Not only is she making her sister duel ten times in a row, but she also wants to do it in agreement mode. She’s not afraid of losing everything?”
The crowd shook their heads.
But the ten participants were thrilled, their eyes gleaming.
“Agreed! We agree!”
The so-called “agreement mode” meant both parties had to fight once they’d agreed. If someone backed out midway and didn’t want to continue, they had to pay half of the bet as a penalty to the other party.
“Since you agree, then hand over the bet first!” Liu Yan continued to lure them.
“All right!”
The ten of them handed their bets to the system for safekeeping, and the agreement was set.
“The money is in, you can make your choice now! Who do you want to fight first?”
The ten eagerly pushed, unable to contain their excitement.
“Sister Yan, who should I choose?” Chuchu sought guidance.
“Pick him!” Liu Yan pointed to a cold-looking middle-aged man in the crowd.
The crowd gasped again.
“Whoa! She picked Zhao Wudao first! What kind of strategy is this?”
“Yeah! Others usually pick the weakest first, but she chose the strongest. I don’t get it.”
Zhao Wudao had participated in 729 matches with a win rate of 91%. He was a true expert, ranked within the top 500 of the Southern Alliance.
There was no one stronger than Zhao Wudao in the entire room.
Before long, Zhao Wudao, with his cold expression, leaped onto the stage.
“Little girl, come up here!” Zhao Wudao drew out his exaggerated two-meter-long machete.
“Chuchu, take him down!”
“Mm~!” Chuchu also jumped onto the stage, holding dual swords.
The moment she stepped onto the stage, she entered a focused state, becoming calm and confident. She seemed like someone born to fight.
“Little girl, make your move!”
“As you wish!”
As soon as the words fell, Chuchu moved.
Swoosh~!
A flash of light streaked across the stage as Chuchu instantly charged forward.
Her footwork was unpredictable, with her left foot moving toward 6 o’clock, her right foot at 8 o’clock. Her steps continuously shifted, creating a perfect arc as she circled Zhao Wudao.
Before Zhao Wudao could react, his body was sliced into seven or eight pieces, collapsing and dissipating into nothingness.
It all happened too fast, leaving everyone stunned.
“Oh my god! Zhao Wudao lost?!”
No one could believe their eyes.
The system announcement echoed: This duel’s winner is Yunyang Chuchu. 10 million has been transferred to her account.
The announcement shocked the entire room!
Zhao Wudao really lost.
This little girl is incredible!
She defeated a top 500 expert from the Southern Alliance.
And it was an instant kill!
This is just too ridiculous!
At this moment, everyone’s gaze toward Chuchu was filled with fear.
Especially the remaining nine who hadn’t fought yet—they were on the verge of tears.
Oh no!
Zhao Wudao was instantly killed, how could we stand a chance?
“This time, whoever wants to go next, come up yourself!” Chuchu eyed the nine participants.
“Ugh! I’m not going! I want to quit!”
“Me too! I’m out!”
All nine retreated tearfully, none daring to step up.
Going up would mean losing a million.
Pride mattered, but not as much as money!
System notification: Due to “Melancholy Morning Glory” forcibly quitting the duel, a 5 million penalty has been transferred to your account!
System notification: Due to “Soaring Old Gun” forcibly quitting the duel, a 5 million penalty has been transferred to your account!
System notification: Due to “Flower Fairy” forcibly quitting the duel, a 5 million penalty has been transferred to your account!
System notification: Due to…
Chuchu was overjoyed as she received nine consecutive system notifications.
Another 45 million in the bag!
After the nine left dejectedly, the crowd exchanged glances before quietly exiting the room as well.
But before they left, the way they looked at Chuchu had changed.
They knew that a new rising star in combat had just been born in the Southern Alliance.
Once everyone had left, Liu Yan closed the room’s entrance and began to tally their earnings.
“Wow! Sister Yan, we earned 55 million!”
Both Liu Yan and Chuchu were over the moon.
Chuchu’s heart was pounding.
55 million! And it was so easy!
This feeling is just too exhilarating!
