"Tsk, tsk, tsk … It's impossible not to get rich. Kid, bet as much as you want."
Originally, Du Feng had some concerns, fearing that his bet would be too large and cause the organizers to lose money. Now that so many fools had bet their money on Mao Zhuangming, Pi Weiwei and the others could go all out. With so much money already bet on Mao Zhuangming, the organizers were probably hoping for him to die quickly. Supporting a person was a good thing, but if it was too much, it would become a death sentence.
"Quick, look! That guy called Du Feng is here."
The enthusiastic audience was currently betting with all their might when they suddenly saw Du Feng walk in. Honestly speaking, they were quite disappointed. As long as Mao Zhuangming dragged on for a while, Mao Zhuangming would automatically win. However, it did not matter. They were originally full of confidence in Mao Zhuangming, who was ranked 497th on the floor. Furthermore, they had already bet their money. Even if they wanted to, they could not get it back.
"So what if he's here? He's just sending himself to his death. 997th dares to challenge 497th? He really doesn't know how the word 'death' is written. "
The majority of people did not place Du Feng in their eyes. They felt that he was purely here to seek death. Even those who had won money from Du Feng before did not think highly of him this time. Last time, when he appeared as a dark horse, there was still some possibility of him killing Helian Akagi. This time, challenging a contestant in the top 500 with the 997th rank was too risky.
If Du Feng had challenged the 501st contestant this time, they believed that those who had bet on him before would continue to support him. After all, everyone liked to watch newcomers make a comeback. Only when a dark horse appeared would they have more money to earn. The odds of one to two point five were indeed quite satisfying.
However, he actually dared to challenge the 497th contestant. This could only mean that this youngster had just arrived at Star-Moon City and did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. Even if the three 501st contestants worked together, they would not be able to defeat Mao Zhuangming, the 497th contestant. If Du Feng wanted to challenge him, he would have to have the ability to fight against all three of them.
Logically speaking, no matter how they analyzed it, they felt that Du Feng would lose for sure. Therefore, most of the audience put their money on Mao Zhuangming.
"That's great! I bet on Du Feng!"
"I also bet on Du Feng to win!"
Pi Weiwei and Yuan Cheng, the two natives of Star-Moon City, excitedly stepped forward to place their bets. Without exception, they all bet on Du Feng's victory. Not only did he put up a lot of money for the Premium House, but he also put up a lot of his own money.
The most interesting one was Pi Weiwei's father, Pi Laosan. He was so excited that he took out all the money he earned from the tavern and bet it all on Du Feng's victory. He used to be against speculation and did not allow Pi Weiwei to participate in gambling. To make money, it should be painstakingly managed. That was why the tavern hadn't made much money even after so many years of operation.
He didn't know why but this time, he suddenly got over it. Not only did he support his son's participation in gambling, but he also put all his money on Du Feng to win. In any case, his little bit of wealth wouldn't have much of an impact on such a big bet. Even if he won, he would only take away 2.5 times the prize money. The organizers wouldn't care.
"Yo, even Pi Laosan bet on Du Feng's victory. Maybe he made the right choice. Why don't we bet as well?"
Some of the older residents of Star-Moon City saw that Pi Laosan, the owner of the tavern, had bet on Du Feng's victory, so they joined in the fun. Each of their bets was not big, but there were many people. After a while, the total amount of bets began to tilt. Originally, the money bet on Mao Zhuangming was several times more than the bet on Du Feng's side. However, with the bets of these older residents, the amount of bets on both sides began to gradually close, and there was a trend of them catching up.
Damn, this can't go on. It was a good thing to have more money bet on him, but Du Feng couldn't feel happy at all because Murong Mansha and Du Yu 'er had not made their move yet. If the bets were to catch up now, it would definitely not be a good thing.
"I bet 5,000 black crystals that Du Feng will die miserably."
At this moment, a person walked in. He wanted to bet 5,000 black crystals, which was equivalent to 500,000 purple crystals. Who was so rich? Of course, it was someone from the Nangong Family. Moreover, it was none other than NanGong Le, who had been hiring people to hunt down Du Feng. Previously, he had not been able to kill Du Feng, so he had always harbored a grudge. Now that he had the opportunity to compete in the arena, and with the NanGong Family's people coming to an agreement with Mao Zhuangming, he had to show his worth.
After running the Fengyue Brothel for so many years, he still had some money in his pocket. Hence, he waved his hand and bet 5,000 black crystals. Of course, he did not pay with actual black crystals, but with a shiny black crystal card. The children of rich families were indeed different. They came to the arena to bet with black crystal cards.
"Tsk tsk tsk … good stuff, but it will be mine in a while."
Du Feng gave a look to Murong Mansha, Du Yu 'er, and Du Xue to place their bets as well. Since they had Young Master NanGong Le's 5,000 black crystals as a foundation, what was there to be afraid of?
"I bet on Mao Zhuangming's victory!"
"I also bet on Mao Zhuangming's victory."
As expected, with NanGong Le's lead, many people started to place their bets on Mao Zhuangming. Even some of the older residents who had previously placed their bets on Du Feng's victory also took out a portion of their money to place their bets on Mao Zhuangming's victory. The human heart was such a contradiction. One moment, they felt that this person would win, the next moment, they felt that that person would win. In the end, many people placed their bets on both sides.
It was precisely because there were many people who placed their bets on both sides that the organizers earned so much. Placing their bets on both sides might seem like they would win no matter what, but on the other hand, if they placed their bets on both sides, they would lose no matter what. As long as someone lost money, the organizers would profit. They were betting on the fact that the audience would lose money. Furthermore, the organizers still had ticket sales and a commission. It could be said that every major competition would earn a large sum of money.
NanGong Le was indeed malicious. According to the normal procedure, he should have said that he would bet 5,000 black crystals on Mao Zhuangming's victory. However, he did not do so. He purposely said that he would bet 5,000 black crystals that Du Feng would die a horrible death. If Du Feng did not die this time, he would not be able to sleep at night.
"The bets have ended. The competition will now officially begin."
Seeing that the audience had more or less placed their bets, the organizers promptly announced the start of the competition.
"Draw your sword."
Mao Zhuangming wielded his artifact sword and stood at the corner of the stage. He was rather confident. He did not suddenly launch a sneak attack. Instead, he asked Du Feng to draw his sword.
"I do not need my sword to fight against you!"
It seemed like Mao Zhuangming had done his research. Du Feng did like to use swords in the past. However, he had changed now. He did not use the Black Dragon Sword or the Fire Dragon Sword. He directly used his palms.
