If they wanted to earn a large amount of points in a short period of time, there were very few options.
There were very few paths that they could take. They could either get rich overnight or engage in a high-risk business.
For example … gambling! To be honest, Ye Zichen wasn't particularly supportive of gambling.
He'd seen far too many examples of families being ruined because of gambling.
Back when he was still in the secular world, he hated gambling to the core.
If it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't even bother with it for the rest of his life.
Unfortunately … Right now, he really had no other choice.
They needed a large amount of points. Whether it was the shop Bai Yu wanted to open, or Xia Keke needed points to ensure her safety, or even their daily expenses, they all needed a large amount of points to sustain themselves.
To be honest … After arriving at the Ancestral Dragon Clan's city, he really didn't feel like nine hundred thousand points was that much.
Why did Zu Ying care so much about it … Why did he send people to steal his points? Why did he send people to steal his points?
In the end, he even gave the humans an excuse to send people to monitor the Ancestral Dragon Clan's surroundings.
That couldn't be! Disregarding everything else, staying in the city cost a thousand points a day. Although they didn't need much food, they still needed several thousand points to buy snacks to satisfy their appetite.
Their daily expenses were in the tens of thousands.
Nine hundred thousand points would only take three months.
Was there a need to go through all that trouble?
Little did he know, he'd never considered whether or not they were living too extravagantly.
Disregarding everything else … Just how many of the participating teams dared to spend as much as Ye Zichen's team?
They just found a random place to stay.
If they really wanted to stay in a hotel …
The hotel also provided simple accommodations. Three thousand points was enough for a team of ten to stay for a month.
They didn't need to buy anything either.
Not even mentioning the universe level warriors … even the domain level, or those below the domain level, with Earth's fasting humans, they can use spirit energy or universe energy to maintain their body's needs.
That way, a team could live for a month with three thousand points.
Nine hundred thousand! That was an astronomical number.
What's more, there were plenty of teams that lived like that.
After all, the trial between Ye Zichen and Karkat had caused more than eighty percent of the participants to have negative points.
They didn't even have points to live for.
They were even in debt.
What's more, not just anyone could get a loan.
You wanted a loan.
At the very least, they needed to have goods that could be used as collateral.
How many of the trial teams that had come to the Ancestral Dragon Clan had teams like Ye Zichen's? Even Shi Hong's team was relatively rare.
They didn't have enough weapons, armor … or spirit pills, miraculous medicines, or rare treasures to pawn at that black-hearted Heaven and Earth Trading Company.
Even if he took out his extra equipment … he could only use it as collateral for a few thousand points.
It was just a temporary solution. He couldn't even pay off his debt, let alone open a shop.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that many of Her Majesty's and Her Highness' teams had started to work within the Ancestral Dragon Clan.
There were also some groups that might have elders in the clan.
He once came to the Ancestral Dragon Clan.
They also saved some points for their juniors. They used these points to get by, and there weren't many such teams.
On the whole … the groups that had come to participate in the trial were not even as comfortable as the ordinary people here who had a lower standard of living.
Ye Zichen and co. were truly extravagant enough! However, Ye Zichen didn't know about any of that. All he could think about was what Zu Ying was thinking.
！ If she really didn't want Ye Zichen's team to have any points.
They could just directly bring him to the gambling house, do some under-the-table manipulation, and make him lose everything.
That way, Ye Zichen would have to spend his points himself.
The humans wouldn't be able to find an excuse.
"What was she thinking about earlier?"
Ye Zichen muttered to himself. He glanced at the shifty-eyed, squirrel-toothed fellow beside him.
He knew very well … that this person had been sent by Zu Ying.
Her goal was to make Ye Zichen spend his points in the casino.
Since she thought about it now … that meant she wasn't stupid. Why was she so stupid at the start?
！ Really. Ye Zichen didn't even dare imagine it.
How could a supreme being be that stupid?
"Or perhaps it was Zu Yunshi's own decision, and Zu Ying didn't tell him to do it?
！”
Ye Zichen squinted his eyes and thought of a possibility.
But if it really was Zu Yunshi's greed …
Where did he get the gall to touch someone from their team?
Did he really think he would be safe in the Ancestral Dragon Clan?
！ That wasn't possible! Either that, or Zu Ying didn't give him a plan.
His plan was simple.
He'd done it on purpose to toy with Ye Zichen and the others, but he hadn't expected Bai Yu's Divine Fire to sense his movements and see through him.
Then …. Did Zu Ying kill him or not?
If he did, would that affect Bai Yu's oath to his soul?
As Ye Zichen walked toward the casino, his mind filled with various thoughts.
"Hey …." "Bro, what's your name?
I should at least tell someone when I bring you over. "
At that moment, the shifty-eyed fellow stopped.
"I'm Nan Si. My brothers call me Ah Nan."
"Ye Zichen!"
Muttered Ye Zichen.
"Bro, you can't be the one with the idea, right?"
Nan Se, who was walking in front, stopped and asked in a slightly cautious manner.
"What do you mean?
！”
"I mean …. You can't be from the inspection team, right?"
The man hesitated for a moment, then looked Ye Zichen up and down with concern.
"Is there something wrong with you?"
Ye Zichen couldn't be bothered to indulge him when he heard that he was intentionally looking for trouble.
"You came looking for me, and you're asking me?"
"I'm here to participate in the trial, Your Majesty. What do you want?
Are you trying to cut me some slack?
Kid, don't be too greedy, got it? "
The shifty-eyed fellow frowned. Ye Zichen had seen through him.
"Who are you talking about?"
"I'm f * cking talking about you!"
Ye Zichen couldn't be bothered to waste his breath on him. He was just Zu Ying's dog, yet he was acting all high and mighty.
"Don't mess with me."
"I've never had a good temper. If I really did slap you, I'm afraid you'd lose face."
"Just do your job properly," said Ye Zichen.
"Once you're greedy, you lose everything. Do you understand?"
"That includes your life!"
"Do you understand?"
Ye Zichen's gaze was as sharp as knives, causing Nan Si to subconsciously freeze.
"Don't try to trick me!"
"What do you mean by 'Your Majesty'? To put it bluntly, you're just an outsider. Even if you're a dragon, you have to …."
Before Nan Si could finish, Ye Zichen raised his hand and slapped him.
"Cut the crap. Lead the way!"
