Chapter 34 - The Bet

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This meant that his prize money and reputation would also rise. How could he not be happy?

“Okay!”

Lorne nodded. He felt that there was no need to hide this matter. When the finals came, the others would probably be able to guess as well.

“Not bad. Then work hard and try your best to win first place!”

Zhang Ye patted Lorne’s shoulder and tried his best to maintain a calm state of mind.

“Zhang Ye, the first place will definitely be our class’ Bingrui. Don’t think too much!” Unknowingly, the class teacher of Class 4, Mei Lu, brought Gu Bingrui to Zhang Ye and the others’ side.

“Cough cough, teacher, should we leave for a while?”

Seeing Mei Lu, Lorne, and Yang Kai looked at each other and saw the gloating in each other’s eyes.

Speaking of which, Zhang Ye and Mei Lu could be considered a pair of happy enemies. It was rumored that the two of them had a rather melodramatic past.

As for what kind of melodramatic past, Lorne and the others did not know.

However, every time Zhang Ye and Mei Lu clashed, they were basically happy enemies.

“That might not be the case!”

If it was before this, Zhang Ye might not have been confident because he believed that Mei Lu would not look for him for no reason.

But now that he had Lorne as his trump card, Zhang Ye had confidence.

Because the Saber-toothed Demonic Tiger was a Blue-grade Magic Card, and its attributes were of the Magical Beast type, its combat power far exceeded most of the Magic Cards.

“Is that so? Looks like there are two people who made it into the quarterfinals. You’re getting too cocky.” Mei Lu would not lose out to Zhang Ye.

“Then do you want to make a bet?” Zhang Ye suddenly asked. He was very clear about Mei Lu’s temperament.

“What bet?” Although he did not know why Zhang Ye suddenly proposed a bet, Mei Lu was not afraid of the other party!

“Let’s bet on who will get the first place in this competition!”

Zhang Ye continued, “I know you have a soul stone, and I have a set of smoke illusion stones here. Let’s use this as a bet. Do you dare?”

Hearing Zhang Ye’s words, Yang Kai could not help but widen his eyes. Soul stones and smoke illusion stones, these things could not be bought in the market!

At the very least, soul stones and smoke illusion stones had never appeared on the online trading platform! Because these two materials were Purple-grade materials!

Even Lorne could not help but be tempted.

Blue-grade materials were already sold on the market for hundreds of thousands each. If it was Purple-grade materials, Yang Kai estimated that it would definitely exceed a million!

As for special materials like soul stones and smoke illusion stones, the price would probably double again!

“It seems that you are very confident.” Mei Lu also did not expect that Zhang Ye would actually propose to use the soul stone and the smoke illusion stone as a bet.

“Are you afraid?” Zhang Ye raised his eyebrows.

“Who said that!” Mei Lu naturally would not be polite with Zhang Ye.

Her lack of soul stone was also obtained by chance. Although it was very special, she had never found a suitable opportunity to use it.

If it was under normal circumstances, Mei Lu might not have agreed to it. But when she thought of Gu Bingrui’s Magic Card, she felt that she could risk it, especially since this bet was proposed by Zhang Ye!

If she did not agree, would that not mean that she was afraid of the other party?

“Bingrui, since someone wants to give you the smoke illusion stone, then you don’t have to be polite.” Thinking of this, Mei Lu turned her head to look at Gu Bingrui.

Gu Bingrui could not help but smile bitterly. How could she not agree?

Of course, Gu Bingrui was also tempted by the smoke illusion stone. Moreover, thinking of her trump card, she felt that her chances of losing were close to zero!

“Lorne, what do you think?” Seeing that Mei Lu had fallen into the trap, Zhang Ye turned to look at Lorne and blinked.

Regarding this, Lorne could not help but silently give Zhang Ye a thumbs up in his heart. Where would he find such a good teacher?

Things like soul stones were rare.

“I have no objections, teacher!” Lorne nodded and replied.

As for Yang Kai, this fellow consciously kept his mouth shut. This bet had nothing to do with him at all.

“Then it’s settled!” Hearing Lorne agree…Mei Lu did not plan to stay any longer.

After greeting Gu Bingrui, she turned around and left.

Seeing this, Gu Bingrui cast an apologetic look at the few of them and followed behind Mei Lu.

…

“Lorne, compete well. Don’t go easy!” After Mei Lu and Gu Bingrui left, Zhang Ye instructed.

“Lorne, you’re done. Soul stone!” Speaking up to this point, Yang Kai could not help but drool.

“You can do it too, as long as you can get first place,” Lorne teased.

“Hehe!” Yang Kai did not hesitate and raised his middle finger.

F*ck! This b*tch was definitely doing it on purpose.

After a night of silence, the next morning was the quarter-finals. However, before the official start, there was still a draw segment.

“Lorne, why do you think my face is so black?” Looking at the match cards in his hand, Yang Kai could not help but cry.

There were a total of eight people. Excluding Gu Bingrui, Qin Feng, and Lorne, Yang Kai had a close to 60% chance of drawing other people.

But he did not expect that Yang Kai would actually draw Lorne!

This was f*cking ridiculous!

“Old Yang, it seems that you and I are quite fated!” Lorne also did not expect that his first opponent was actually Yang Kai.

Thinking of the flag that the other party had set up yesterday, Lorne was even more convinced that some things were common in both worlds!

This was just the beginning, and the civil war was already ‘lucky’!

In this group, besides Lorne and Yang Kai, the remaining two were Qin Feng and another boy.

As for Gu Bingrui, he was in the second group with the others.

Below the stage, Zhang Ye, who saw the result of the draw, opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not say anything.

This result was really not anyone’s fault.

“Hehe, looks like your luck is not bad. At least you won’t all be seventh or eighth.” Seeing the result of the draw, Mei Lu could not help but mock.

“Mei Lu, I have something to tell you!” Zhang Ye was not annoyed.

“What is it?” Mei Lu frowned. She had a feeling that Zhang Ye had some bad intentions, especially when she went back to reflect on the bet yesterday. She felt that she might have been tricked by the other party.

“Actually, if you don’t open your mouth, you’re still pretty!” After saying that, before Mei Lu could react, Zhang Ye hurriedly called for Lorne and Yang Kai to leave.

“Teacher, I didn’t expect you to be so brave!” Lorne also heard Zhang Ye’s words. As he walked, he could not help but tease him.

“Of course, why don’t you take a look at who I am?” Zhang Ye said proudly.

F*ck! He did not expect this guy to be so shameless.

After exchanging a glance, Lorne and Yang Kai quietly left Zhang Ye. If they were to be implicated later, they would be wronged!

“Zhang Ye!” On the other side, Mei Lu also reacted at this time and fiercely looked in the direction that Zhang Ye had left.

If she was still a beauty if she did not speak, then what about when she spoke?

A static beauty, a dynamic lunatic?

“Teacher, what’s wrong?” Gu Bingrui had returned relatively late, so he had missed the conversation between the few of them earlier.

Now that he saw Mei Lu looking as if she wanted to eat him, he could not help but be puzzled.

“Nothing!” Taking a deep breath, Mei Lu took Gu Bingrui and left. “Let’s go. The competition is about to start. You should get into position too..”
