Chapter 235: One Punch!
The two women simultaneously looked at Bai Ming.
But Bai Ming turned his head, his gaze falling on Wu Po Xing’s battlefield: "Good! This life-for-life move truly possesses some of the bravery from the Great Cataclysm era!"
Then they looked at Yan Kuang.
At this moment, he was pressed against Bai Ming, not even turning his head.
No way.
Both of them were poor, and extremely poor at that!
Creak~ Creak~!
Ling Qianxue almost ground her teeth to dust: "No! This bet, this girl will make it even if it costs her life!"
Then.
Ling Qianxue directly called Qin Mu.
"Senior Brother Qin~~"
On the other side, Qin Mu was about to give Wu Po Xing a thumbs-up and prepare to enter the Arena when he heard Ling Qianxue’s soft, boneless voice.
"What the heck!?"
"What are you doing~?"
Ling Qianxue put on a self-taught cutesy voice and pouted, "Senior Brother Qin, I saw a handbag in the Metaverse, will you buy it for me, please~"
Pfft!
Qin Mu immediately rolled his eyes and blurted out, "Get lost! Speak like a normal person!"
Uh... Ling Qianxue’s trick was instantly exposed, and she immediately said aggrievedly, "I, I’m short on money, who knew things in the Universe were so expensive?"
"How about you lend me a little first, as capital to start a business."
"Hmm, 50/50 equity, what do you think?"
Qin Mu indeed hadn’t left them any money.
Money, only when earned by oneself, is truly cherished.
The saying, ’a little help is appreciated, too much is resented,’ surely no one is unaware of this principle.
"Investment is possible, but with your experience and qualifications, there’s basically no chance of making money. Giving it to you would be throwing money away."
Ling Qianxue innocently wanted to bash her head against something and die.
Fortunately, she didn’t say she wanted money to bet. If she had, she probably would have dug a hole in the Metaverse and thrown herself into the sky to freeze to death.
Qin Mu paused:
"But~"
"I can’t completely deny you an opportunity."
When the Human Race enters the Universe, they still have to pay their tuition; they can’t give up eating for fear of choking.
"Adjust the equity. I want ninety-five percent. You and Bai Qingyan form a company and take the rest."
"Also, I must see actual results within a year. It doesn’t necessarily have to be profitable, but at least show some promise, otherwise I’ll withdraw the capital immediately!"
Ling Qianxue’s heart skipped a beat. Without thinking, she immediately agreed:
"Okay!"
Hmm??
What kind of luck did she have today? Why did she agree so quickly?
Qin Mu had set such harsh conditions, actually expecting her to haggle.
"Alright then."
"I’ll transfer ten million qidala gold coins to you."
Gold coins?
Ling Qianxue hesitated: "But, I want energy stones..."
Damn it!
Qin Mu cursed inwardly: "Entering the Universe for the first time, an investment of ten million gold coins is definitely like an archangel Gabriel!"
"Ordinary forces don’t have this capability. Do you understand the value of energy stones?"
"If you want energy stones, go exchange them at the Cosmic Bank yourself!"
After speaking.
Qin Mu hung up the communication.
Click, click!
Qin Mu twisted his neck: "Mengmeng, can I bet on myself in this guess? I think the odds are pretty good~"
"No!"
Ao Mengmeng’s little face turned pale with fright, and she quickly stopped him: "Don’t even think about it! Whether directly, indirectly, or by using others to bet, it’s a strict red line! Do you understand? A red line!"
"Once you cross it, it’s definitely a dead end. No one can protect you!"
"Certain death!"
"If you violate the rules first, then the Transcendent Factions can also disregard the rules with you. At that time, what does it mean if the six great Transcendent Factionss use all their power to kill you?!"
Tsk!~
Qin Mu sighed inwardly with regret.
Otherwise, if he could bet on so many matches, the speed of making money would be Heaven-Defying!
...On the other side.
Ling Qianxue quickly went to the bank to exchange for energy stones.
With a new account exchange offer, she got a total of 1000 energy stones.
"Qingyan Big Sister, I shamelessly asked for these one thousand coins, and it was in both our names..."
Bai Qingyan’s eyes widened: "Ah?! Why am I involved?"
"Oh, don’t worry about it~" Ling Qianxue said confidently, "Who is this Wood looking down on? This time, I must show him what a Genius investor is!"
"What’s so great about fighting? Can you make money?"
"If it weren’t for me helping him make money and sell goods during the Martial Examination, could he have risen so quickly?"
"Hmph!"
"Even in the Universe, my judgment will still be correct!"
She was confident.
However, her starting capital was indeed a bit limited.
"Alright, first, let’s bet 100 coins on Qin Mu clearing fifty levels."
"The remaining 900 coins, bet on Qin Mu winning this match."
Qin Mu’s first round.
The odds were only 1.25.
"Although it’s small, it’s profit!"
Ling Qianxue didn’t think the profit was small at all.
If Qin Mu won this match, she would gain 225 energy stones.
One must know.
Before this, she was so poor she couldn’t even scrape together 1 coin.
"Hehe~"
"Qin Mu, you can’t possibly lose every match, can you?"
"If you lose, don’t blame me, I’m innocent..."
Before Bai Qingyan could react to what was happening, Ling Qianxue had already placed her bets.
"You...!?"
Ling Qianxue’s small, nervous hands were covered in sweat.
She had never placed such a large bet before.
In the past, she had family wealth to support her; whether it was tens of millions or hundreds of millions, she could afford to lose and didn’t care.
Now?
The entire Ling Group’s value probably wasn’t even 1 energy stone. What if she lost 1000 coins at once?
Are you kidding me?
Her heart was trembling... "Watch the match~ Watch the match~!"
"Wood, you must do your best~!!"
"Go~!!!"
...Arena.
Two contestants were teleported simultaneously.
Qin Mu looked around.
A square battlefield with a diameter of 10 kilometers, entirely made of standard bluestone ground. He pressed down slightly with his foot.
"Hmm."
"There are signs of reinforcement; even a nine-layer Domain probably can’t break it."
Opposite him.
A muscular man holding a battle saber, upon seeing Qin Mu appear, immediately revealed a smile on his broad face.
"Still a kid?"
"Galaxy Fifth Tier cultivation?"
"Ha, it seems I, Giovanni, can also win a match in the Pinnacle Battle!"
Above the center of the Arena, virtual subtitles lit up.
Opponents.
Qin Mu VS Giovanni
Time limit 10 minutes, start!
With a beep.
The virtual subtitles changed to a 10-minute countdown.
"Kid, surrender now, and you can lose with some dignity." Giovanni chuckled and brandished his battle saber.
Boring!
Qin Mu didn’t expect the quality of the first round to be so poor.
With such quality, even if he was only Galaxy Fifth Tier, it probably wouldn’t have much training value.
"Next round!"
Giovanni was stunned: "Next round?"
"Ha, you’re a little brat from a native planet, aren’t you?"
"Next round?"
"You don’t have a damn next round..."
Before he finished speaking.
Qin Mu had already pushed off with both feet, exploding into a sprint.
Only a bang was heard.
A black shadow flashed across the Arena, heading straight for Giovanni’s face.
"Seeking death!"
Giovanni showed no fear. His Domain instantly opened, and his battle saber danced with streaks of light.
The next second.
Qin Mu’s figure suddenly disappeared. He seemed to pass through the saber light without any hindrance, unleashing a punch.
Bang!
Giovanni felt a blur before his eyes, and his entire head exploded into fragments on the Arena.
’Beep! Battle over!’
’Qin Mu wins!’
..."Wow!! Senior Brother is awesome~~!!" Ling Qianxue’s nervous little heart hadn’t even beat twice before the battle ended. She immediately became excited like a child.
"I’m making money, I’m making money, hehe~!!"
"Starting with a small profit of over two hundred, easy~ casual~"
"Today, we must teach the little Universe a lesson and let it know what a God of Investment is!"
Bai Qingyan heard this, and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
The spectators nearby, however, became a little interested in these natives from who-knows-where.
"They’re quite bold, daring to bet?"
"How much? 1 coin, or 2 coins?"
...Bastards!
Ling Qianxue had been annoyed earlier.
Now she was almost fuming.
As the saying goes, once a person has money, they have more confidence.
Ling Qianxue could tolerate it just now, but now she couldn’t.
"What do you mean 1 coin or 2 coins? Do you have money?"
"You’re not convinced, are you?"
"Do you dare to bet on the other side?"
"A counter-bet, do you dare?!"
"Holy crap!"
Qin Mu suddenly trembled: "Such a powerful function, is it just a casual add-on from the System? It doesn’t even bother to mention it!?"
