Chapter 291: Making a Fortune? Zhao Mu poured cold water on him!
"Brother, why did you stop me from going on the life and death stage with him?"
Deng Ying didn't understand her brother's obstruction.
"Because you will die!"
"How can it be!"
Deng Ying was stunned when she heard these words, but since they came from the mouth of her most trusted brother, she had to believe them.
"He's so calm, he's almost impatient to get on the life and death stage with you. He's completely confident. If you get on, there's an 80% chance you'll die on the stage."
Deng Yue's tone was very firm, but he couldn't understand the reason.
Although Zhao Mu had defeated Huang Jiujian and others, and even killed Chen Zifeng, who had reached the great perfection of the Lingyuan realm, in seconds, he still had some idea of Ying'er's strength, which was definitely not comparable to these people.
Under normal circumstances, even if he really couldn't defeat Zhao Mu, he wouldn't lose his life.
But the current situation is obviously abnormal, because... Zhao Mu is a little too confident.
"this....."
Deng Ying was silent, and cold sweat broke out on her back. If her brother had not appeared in time to stop her, she might have become the dead soul under Zhao Mu's fist.
The speculations of Wu Zixu and others were actually completely wrong.
In fact, the Deng brothers and sisters did not set any trap for Zhao Mu, nor did they play any tricks of substituting a dead person for a dead one or replacing the prince with a cat. It was all just a coincidence.
Deng Ying hated Zhao Mu to the core and wanted to eat his flesh and blood. Even at the critical period of breaking through the Liquid Transformation Realm, he was instigated by some people with ulterior motives, so he immediately gave up the breakthrough and came out to fight Zhao Mu for life and death.
Deng Yue also noticed that his sister had disappeared, so he hurried out. Because his sister was too young, he was worried that something might happen to her.
As for the process of breaking through the Liquid Formation Stage, more than 90% has been completed, and only the finishing touch is left. He can break through whenever he wants, and then the scene just now happened.
"But brother, why did you give up asking for those ten top-grade spirit stones just now? Although I don't feel bad about it, I can't let that stinky bastard get away with it."
"You've never lacked cultivation resources since you were young, so ten top-grade spirit stones are nothing to you. But it's different in the eyes of others. Do you understand?"
"Brother, you are so cunning!"
"Let's go. First, go back and complete the breakthrough to the Liquid Formation Realm. Then, find out who is secretly instigating you to take action. We need to make them pay the price!"
.....
On Zhenling Peak.
Zhao Mu shook his head and chuckled. Deng Yue was quite good at setting traps for others, but the price he paid for digging the traps was a bit high.
Ten top-grade spirit stones are an astronomical figure for their level of cultivation.
But I have to say, the effect is also very explosive.
Although everyone present hid themselves very well, due to his powerful soul, Zhao Mu could clearly sense countless glances directed at him, obviously coveting the ten top-grade spirit stones.
Of course, Zhao Mu didn't care much about this.
Come on, come on, who will grab who when the time comes? He's not made of clay.
As the gambling fight came to an end, Zhao Mu immediately reunited with Wu Zixu and others.
After all, they have collaborated on a big business, and it is time for them to divide the spoils, no, it should be dividends.
"Zhao Mu, Zhao Mu, you are truly impressive, wow!"
Xia Ningzhi's beautiful almond-shaped eyes were full of admiration.
"Princess Nine is right. Your strength really surprises me."
Wu Zixu also smiled and complimented him, then jokingly said, "I thought you were still in the Transcendent Realm at such an old age because you lacked talent, but it turns out you've accumulated a lot of experience and now it's time to shine!"
"Stop, stop, stop, let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about our business."
Zhao Mu stretched out his hand to signal them to stop.
"There are about 5,300 people placing bets, with an average of three high-grade spirit stones per person. However, since most of them are at the Transcendent Spiritual Origin Realm, they simply cannot afford high-grade spirit stones. They all bet with mid-grade spirit stones or even low-grade spirit stones. Theoretically, the total income is nearly 18,000 high-grade spirit stones.
But if you really want to exchange it for high-grade spirit stones, you will probably have to give a discount, about 15,000 high-grade spirit stones.
The three of us have just discussed that all the spirit stones earned from this time's banker will belong to you alone."
The one who made the summary was Xia Ningzhi, because she was the most steady and adept at handling such matters.
"We agreed to split it equally, why did you change your mind again?!"
Zhao Mu objected to this decision and shook his head, saying, "No, it still has to be divided into four equal parts, and I'll take one."
"Hey, Zhao Mu, if I ask you to accept it, then just accept it. We haven't done anything wrong, so we don't feel comfortable accepting this amount of spirit stones. What's more, what we earn is not necessarily much less than you."
Without saying a word, Yan Hongling stuffed the Qiankun Ring containing all the bets into Zhao Mu's hands.
"You earn as much as I do? What do you mean?"
Zhao Mu was slightly stunned, somewhat confused.
"The three of us placed bets at another gambling house. Look, it's the Qinglong Casino!"
Yan Hongling pointed to the largest gambling house closest to the palace complex, where they were settling bets and losses. "The Qinglong Casino is offering a 200-to-1 odds payout for a perfect win. The three of us each bet 50 high-grade spirit stones. Based on the odds, each of us will earn 10,000 high-grade spirit stones."
“…”
Zhao Mu was a little shocked. It seemed that there were far more people in control of the game this time than he had imagined, and the degree of madness was far beyond his imagination.
Two hundred to one, how dare they offer such odds, only a lunatic can do that!
but.....
Zhao Mu raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the huge Qinglong Casino. He couldn't help but doubt in his heart, could Yan Hongling and the other three really get this amount of spirit stones back?
“Are there many people betting on that odds?”
"Not many, probably just the three of us. After all, no one else would believe you're a complete winner."
Wu Zixu folded his arms with a smile on his face. After all, that was 10,000 high-grade spirit stones. Even with his background, at the Lingyuan realm, it was an unimaginable huge sum of money.
"There are only three. Are you sure?"
Zhao Mu asked another question.
"Of course, in order to get the highest odds, we placed our bets right before the market closed."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mu chuckled and shook his head, saying, "If that's the case, then it's unlikely you'll be able to get those 30,000 high-grade spirit stones back."
"Why?"
"Because the Qinglong Casino is obviously a big casino. If they don't do this, how can they become a big casino?"
Zhao Mu's words were a bit confusing, but Wu Zixu and others understood them.
"So what will they do? Refuse to pay outright? Wouldn't that damage the reputation of Qinglong Casino?"
Xia Ningzhi asked with some confusion.
"It would be foolish to reject the bet directly. I guess they will probably claim that too few people have placed bets and the odds are too ridiculous, so they will claim to have cancelled the bet before closing.
And when you go to collect the spirit stones, they'll refuse to pay you back, saying they tried to ask you to return your bet before the market closed but couldn't find it. Of course, to express their apology, they might give you three or five times the amount you staked as compensation."
"By doing this, do Qinglong Casino treat everyone else as fools? Anyone with a bit of common sense can see that they're trying to cheat by refusing to pay, right?"
"Other people aren't fools, but at least you can't fault this behavior on the surface! And only the three of you placed bets on this odds. Even if you do make a profit, it's only between you three and has nothing to do with anyone else.
Thirty thousand high-grade spirit stones, no one would not be jealous, but at the same time, most people's mentality is that others making a fortune is more painful than them losing money, so naturally they are happy to see you get ripped off by the Qinglong Casino."
