Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 540: adult game
The three of them walked inside.
Upon entering, it was clear that the D-level Beastmaster arena was much larger than the E-level Beastmaster competition.
The cheers and shouts from all around were also much louder.
You Na handed a card to a Staff member at the reception desk.
The Staff member was clearly stunned for a moment, then respectfully led the way to a private room on the second floor, guiding the three of them in.
The private room was luxuriously styled, and through the glass window, the scene below could be seen clearly.
In front of the soft seats, there was a holographic touch screen where information about the competing players could be viewed, and bets could be placed at any time.
Qiao Sang’s expression was complex.
She had come here yesterday and never discovered such a place…
At this moment, Tang Yi’s voice rang out: “I’ve been here so long, and I didn’t know there was such a place!”
Thank you, my mouth-substitute… Qiao Sang immediately thought of something, looked at You Na, and asked:
“Did you bring money?”
You Na was stunned for a moment, thinking Qiao Sang was worried about expenses: “I have a VIP card; this private room is free.”
“No,” Qiao Sang said, “I’m talking about money, money other than credit cards.”
You Na shook her head slightly: “My family only gave me credit cards.”
So it’s the same as me… Qiao Sang couldn’t hide her disappointment and let out an “Oh.”
You Na realized, and asked: “You want to place a bet?”
Qiao Sang nodded: “I only have a credit card too. Unfortunately, credit cards aren’t allowed for betting here, and you can’t bet on your own matches. I originally wanted you to help me bet, and I’d pay you back then.”
You Na heard this and smiled: “You forgot, I’m a VIP here. There’s money on my VIP card.”
Qiao Sang immediately perked up: “Then when it’s my turn, help me place a bet, and I’ll pay you back then.”
“No problem,” You Na made an OK gesture.
“Help me bet too,” Tang Yi said excitedly, “I originally wanted to find someone to help me, but I couldn’t find anyone.”
“Easy to say,” You Na smiled, “You’ve found the right person. With me here, it’ll be hard for you to lose.”
After speaking, she formed a hand seal.
A gray star array lit up on the ground.
Soon, a Pet, largely white, with a slender upper body, a stout lower body, two blue ribbons floating beside it, long arms with three fingers each, and holding two cards, appeared in the private room.
“It’s called Zeus Mu,” You Na introduced, “As long as you give it two directions, it can largely calculate which direction is the optimal choice.”
“Zeus,” Zeus Mu called out, as a greeting.
This ability is too overpowered, it’s practically a “cheat artifact” for betting… Qiao Sang felt a wave of envy.
Tang Yi said with interest: “Can we try it now?”
“Of course,” You Na pointed to the two Yu Beast Masters currently battling in the arena below: “Zeus Mu, show them what you can do.”
Her expression was full of confidence, her tone incredibly casual.
“Zeus.”
Zeus Mu heard its Yu Beast Master’s words, tossed the cards in its hand upwards, and they paused in mid-air.
It closed its eyes.
After about three seconds, the left card glowed blue, slowly descended, and stopped in front of Zeus Mu.
“Zeus.”
Zeus Mu opened its eyes, looked at the card in front of it, and then pointed to the Yu Beast Master standing on the left side of the arena, letting out a cry.
You Na confidently pointed along: “I don’t know the exact score, but if you’re just betting on win or loss, that person should win.”
Instantly, Qiao Sang and Tang Yi couldn’t help but slow their breathing, watching the battle below, waiting for the final result.
Nineteen minutes later, a winner was decided.
All three Pets of the left player fell first, and the right player waved and smiled in acknowledgment.
Qiao Sang and Tang Yi simultaneously looked at You Na with profound meaning.
You Na looked a bit awkward: “Occasionally, there will be times when it can’t calculate accurately. Its accuracy for this ability isn’t 100%.”
“Zeus…”
Zeus Mu scratched its head, showing an embarrassed expression.
Qiao Sang: “…”
Then why did you act so confident at first?
“I’m going down to register first. When it’s my turn, just bet on me to win,” Qiao Sang paused, then continued, “No need to bet too much, 10,000 alliance coins per round.”
She was always cautious. Although she was confident she wouldn’t lose, that was only among her peers or high school students.
The arena competition was a social event, open to the general public, with no age restrictions. Items and Spiritual Marks were allowed, and all the Pets here were unfamiliar to her. Even if Qiao Sang was confident, she wouldn’t guarantee an absolute victory.
Isn’t 10,000 per round not much… Tang Yi grumbled inwardly, then said: “I’ll go down and register too. When it’s my turn, bet everything on me to win, 1,000 alliance coins per round is fine.”
After speaking, he immediately thought of something and added: “If I run into Qiao Sang, you bet on her to win, 100,000.”
You Na was somewhat surprised.
Most second-place finishers don’t really accept the champion, this was the first time she had seen a second-place finisher show such humility.
“I understand,” You Na nodded.
…
Unlike the E-level Beastmaster arena, registration this time was very smooth.
However, after learning that Qiao Sang had already contracted four Pets, a Staff member specifically came to explain that the D-level Beastmaster arena was a 3V3 mode, only allowing three Pets to be dispatched.
Qiao Sang naturally had no objection to this.
After registering, she went to the restroom.
Using the restroom before a match was an unwritten habit among Yu Beast Masters.
After all, there were many instances in the past where Yu Beast Masters suddenly felt a call of nature during a match, couldn’t concentrate, and thus turned an advantage into a disadvantage, losing the match.
Stepping out of the cubicle, while washing her hands, Qiao Sang suddenly felt something move in her pocket.
She pulled out the Chan Chan Stone, disguised as an ordinary stone, and handed it to Xiao Xunbao: “Stuff it into the ring first, and take it out after the match ends.”
Currently, Xiao Xunbao’s Receiving characteristic had reached A-level, capable of storing living creatures. It hadn’t been specifically tested, but a week was definitely no problem.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao appeared and took the Chan Chan Stone.
“Chan Chan…”
The Chan Chan Stone, which had just attempted to escape and failed, silently shed two lines of crystals.
Coming out of the restroom, she hadn’t walked more than two steps.
Suddenly, she heard two men talking:
“When is it your turn?”
“Third after this one finishes.”
“Alright, you say, how much?”
“I want fifty thousand more than last time.”
“No.”
“If you don’t give it, then when I face Naiteng later, I can’t say how I’ll compete. If I accidentally win, as Naiteng’s agent, what do you think will happen to him? I want money, and you want fame. Isn’t it good for everyone to get what they need?”
“Mr. Caius, you seem to think too highly of yourself. You actually think you can defeat Naiteng.”
“If you think I can’t win, why come looking for me?”
“…”
Is this what adult competitions are like… I’ve long heard about buying off opponents, and now I’ve actually encountered it… And they don’t even find a more secluded place to make the deal, not even realizing they’ve been overheard… Speaking of which, my ears are getting sharper and sharper. I haven’t seen a single person, yet I can hear so clearly… Qiao Sang grumbled inwardly, while outwardly pretending not to have heard anything, walking towards the arena where the matches were taking place.
One minute later.
Two men emerged from the men’s restroom.
“Then, I wish us a pleasant cooperation.”
“Pleasant cooperation.”
Ah ah ah!!! Family, who understands this! I finished writing without an internet connection or saving, then thought about connecting to upload, but at the very last second, the computer died and shut down automatically! Luckily, restarting could recover most of it, only a few lines were lost!
It scared me to death!
I’ll never dare to not connect to the internet, not save, and not charge again!
