Chapter 417 -228: Please Choose Your Cheat!_2
“Boom!” With a muffled thud, Long Hu slammed straight onto the cage corner.
With this scene unfolding, the entire audience erupted in commotion.
Those who had bet on Long Hu to win cursed fiercely, while those who bet on Ghost Beast celebrated jubilantly.
At that moment, betting had already closed; clearly, the winner would be decided imminently.
Long Hu struggled to his feet, his whole head feeling groggy. Seeing the Ghost Beast attack, he tried to dodge at the first opportunity.
However, he suddenly slipped, and what he had managed to avoid already, he now presented to the beast by slipping—his chest.
A sharp bone pierced directly through Long Hu’s heart, followed by a ferocious mouth biting off Long Hu’s head.
The outcome had been determined!
“Damn, this guy is such trash; he actually got killed by a Ghost Beast.”
“Motherfucker, there go my hundred points of Soul Power.”
“Son of a bitch, it’s a good thing he’s dead. Otherwise, I’d twist his head off myself.”
“Ha ha, nice! I told you the Ghost Beast would win.”
“Heh heh, I bet a whole thousand Soul Power.”
“Awesome stuff, I only bet a hundred.”
Amidst the crowd, a cacophony of voices rose.
“Dong dong dong, dong dong dong!”
Suddenly, the sound of a gong emanated from the betting screen.
“Congratulations Mr. Mu, for betting a hundred thousand Soul Power on Ghost Beast and successfully winning two hundred thousand Soul Power.” (One hundred thousand principal plus one hundred thousand payout, totaling two hundred thousand)
As the voice trailed off, a thick stream of Soul Power flew out from the screen and into Mr. Mu Rufeng’s body under the gazes of the crowd.
Then, a large amount of Soul Power flew out, heading toward those Abnormalities who had won their bets.
“What’s going on?” Rufeng Mu frowned slightly and turned to Zhao Tian.
“Mr. Mu, anyone who wins over a hundred thousand Soul Power gets the gong sound. It also helps to stimulate the customers’ desire to bet.”
Hearing this, Zhao Tian quickly explained.
“I see,” nodded Mu Rufeng.
“Holy shit, this guy is so rich?”
“My God, a hundred thousand, that’s a hundred thousand Soul Power!”
“This guy has too much guts, betting a whole hundred thousand straight away???”
“Wait, isn’t this guy a Contractor?”
“No way, a Contractor could come here? And one with so much money???”
The crowd turned their attention to Mu Rufeng and immediately burst into a flurry of discussion.
Mu Rufeng ignored them and spoke to Zhao Tian, “By the way, Zhao Tian, can you bet items here too?”
“Of course, but we only take Level 9 items and Rule Type Items,” Zhao Tian regained his composure and replied.
He was feeling a bit of regret; had he known, he’d have followed Mu Rufeng’s advice and bet it all.
“Hmm,” Mu Rufeng nodded, then continued, “I want to enter the cage to challenge; how do I proceed?”
“Eh? Ah? Mr. Mu, you want to go in for a challenge? It’s very dangerous inside,” Zhao Tian was immediately shocked.
“Tell me how to do it,” Mu Rufeng insisted.
“You just need to click on the ‘Challenge’ option on the screen outside the cage corner.”
“Mr. Mu, are you sure you don’t want to reconsider? Inside the cage, you can only use your own abilities. Common items can be used, but Rule Type Items cannot be used,” Zhao Tian added.
Without answering, Mu Rufeng simply struck the ‘Challenge’ characters on the distant screen with his Ghost Power.
He couldn’t use Rule Type Items? He never intended to use Rule Type Items; even without the Qilin Wand, Mu Rufeng’s strength was considerable.
“If I bet my talents and abilities, what’s the payout? If the odds are ten to one, would you pay me ten talents?” Mu Rufeng asked again.
Hearing this, Zhao Tian shook his head and said, “If you’re betting talents, abilities, or items, then you can only bet on win or lose, and the maximum odds are only one to one.”
“If the odds are less than one to one, you would be paid in equivalent value of the wagered talent or item at those odds.”
“Only one to one?” Mu Rufeng furrowed his brow, “Can only bet one to one?”
“Mr. Mu, if you want to bet your own talent and ability at higher odds, you can, but in that case, you’ll only be compensated with Soul Power equal to the value multiplied by the odds,” Zhao Tian said.
“I see,” Mu Rufeng nodded, understanding.
Just then, the Ghost Beast, which had been devouring the corpse of an Abnormality, suddenly startled, opened its jaws wide, and bit down hard on the body.
The next second, a force from above pulled the Ghost Beast and the corpse up, swallowing them both and disappearing from sight.
“Clang!” The iron gate of the corner cage opened automatically.
“The next challenger is invited to enter the arena, Mu Rufeng, Mr. Mu!”
The screen emitted another announcement.
“Whoosh!”
Around them, people upon seeing Mu Rufeng was about to enter, erupted in a buzz of astonishment.
Mu Rufeng turned to Zhao Tian and spoke calmly, “I should be able to bet on myself, right?” 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
“You can, but if you, Mr. Mu, are going to enter yourself, you can only bet on your own victory, not anything else, and the maximum odds are only one to one,” Zhao Tian explained.
“Fine, by the way, if you want to make a good profit, bet more money on my instant knockout victory. There’s a bet for that, right?” Mu Rufeng whispered.
“Yes… there is,” Zhao Tian stuttered, nodding.
Mu Rufeng gave a small smile, ready to head toward the cage corner.
Zhao Tian suddenly thought of something and urgently grabbed Mu Rufeng, “Mr. Mu, please remember, if you bet on any of your abilities, talents, or items, then you won’t be able to use those bet items.”
