Chapter 571: Betting on Yourself
Cao Yun was so angry that his face turned blue, and he shouted angrily: "Okay, okay, it seems that you are shameless."
Xi Zihan propped up his chin, looked nonchalant, and said leisurely: "You spoke harshly to us when we just arrived. When did you give me face?"
Cao Yun was speechless and shouted angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, who of you will fight me?"
At this time, a servant hurried forward to explain: "My guests, you may not know that contestants above the third level have to place bets on themselves. If you win, you need to compensate the winner with the corresponding crystal stones."
Su Yiyun frowned slightly and asked, "Mandatory?"
The servant nodded quickly: "This is the rule, the minimum is 10,000 crystal stones."
A gleam of light flashed in Gu Li's eyes, and he asked, "Who's the tallest?"
The servant replied respectfully: "There is no upper limit, but the prerequisite is that the capital must be verified."
After all, the Colosseum has to prevent some contestants from asking for exorbitant amounts of money and placing sky-high bets without being able to produce the corresponding crystals.
Feng Wuhen also raised a question in his mind: "What if the winner bets more than the loser? How can he settle the account if he has no money?"
The servant patiently explained, "The Colosseum will compensate you. The losing party who doesn't have crystal stones to compensate will have to stay in the Colosseum and work until the compensation is paid off."
Gu Li's eyes lit up, and he had a plan in mind. He looked at Cao Yun and said firmly, "I will fight you."
Cao Yun didn't expect Gu Li to be so straightforward. He sneered and said, "You said that."
Gu Li looked calm and replied softly, "Yes."
Cao Yun turned to look at the servant who followed him and ordered, "Sign up for me. I want to bet 10 million."
These newcomers who have just reached the third level are just rookies. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money. It would be a waste not to take advantage of it.
Gu Li did not hesitate, and looked at their servant, saying in a loud voice: "Bet on me to win, five hundred million."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if a bombshell exploded at the scene, and the originally noisy rest area instantly became quiet.
Except for Gu Li's friends, everyone looked at her in amazement, with disbelief on their faces.
They couldn't believe their ears. Five hundred million?
Does someone who owns so many crystals still need to come to the Colosseum to make money?
The servant was also shocked and stammered: "Guest... Guest, are you serious?"
Gu Li said with a firm look on his face: "Seriously."
The servant came back to his senses and said quickly: "We need to verify the capital here."
Without saying a word, Gu Li took out a space ring and handed it to him.
The servant carefully probed his mental power into the space ring and began to count the number of crystals.
As the count progressed, his eyes widened wider, and when he finally finished, he was stunned.
Oh my god, there really are 500 million crystals!
He had worked at the Colosseum for so long and had seen guests who were generous with their spending, but the only ones who were as lavish as these were the mysterious young men a few days ago.
If the number of people didn't match, he would have suspected that these people were the same group as those from a few days ago.
When Cao Yun heard that Gu Li bet 500 million, he was stunned for a moment.
Five hundred million! If he lost, he would have to work in the Colosseum for many years to pay off this huge debt.
He began to feel a little discouraged, although he had always been confident in his own abilities.
But this woman actually took out 500 million to bet on herself to win without hesitation. Is there some hidden trick?
Gu Li keenly noticed his hesitation, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What? Are you scared?"
Cao Yun blushed and said stubbornly, "Who said I was scared? I just don't hit women."
Gu Li pressed on: "If you don't want to fight, then kneel down and kowtow to us three times."
Cao Yun was so angry that he trembled all over: "You are going too far."
Gu Li looked calm and asked, "So what?"
For a moment, other contestants around also joined in the fun.
"You wouldn't dare."
"Five hundred million, Cao Yun definitely doesn't have any crystals."
"It would be fine if he won, he could get 500 million."
"Cao Yun got scared. He was afraid that he couldn't beat this woman and wanted to stay in the Colosseum to work."
Everyone was talking at once, and Cao Yun felt his face burning and was really embarrassed.
He regretted it deeply. If he had known earlier, he would not have provoked them so easily just because they were newcomers.
Looking at this woman who is so confident, she must be hiding something.
Just when Cao Yun was hesitating, Lin Yuchen said calmly: "If you don't fight, you will have to fight if it's your turn later."
Cao Yun gritted his teeth and thought that since he had to fight anyway, he might as well give it a try.
If he wins, the 500 million will be enough for him to live happily for a long time.
So he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Beat me if you want."
Gu Li raised the corner of his mouth slightly and nodded: "Go on stage."
The two walked towards the competition stage, and the other contestants all wanted to see who would win the competition behind this big gamble.
The referee was also shocked when he heard the shocking news of the bet.
He walked quickly onto the competition stage, looked at the two people confronting each other on the stage, took a deep breath, and then announced loudly: "Gu will bet 500 million crystals against Cao Yun who will bet 10 million crystals."
When Gu Li competed on the first and second levels, he went on stage using his real name.
Now that she has reached the third level, she has changed her identity and borrowed the name Gu Yi.
This announcement was like dropping a huge rock into a calm lake. The audience instantly exploded with noises of uproar.
"Referee, are you sure you read it right?"
"What did I hear? Five hundred million?"
"real or fake?"
"It's fake, is it necessary to come here with 500 million crystal stones?"
"If you said 50 million versus 10 million I would believe it, but 500 million? Impossible."
Facing everyone's doubts, the referee responded firmly: "That's right, it's 500 million to 10 million. Everyone has 15 minutes to place their bets, and the competition will start in 15 minutes."
Upon hearing the exact news, all the audience were completely excited.
Cao Yun is a player they are familiar with and they have a general understanding of his strength.
However, Gu Yi was a stranger, and it seemed that this was his first time competing on the third floor.
Therefore, most viewers chose to bet on Cao Yun to win.
Seeing so many people optimistic about him, Cao Yun's originally nervous mood gradually relaxed.
It seems that other people also think that this woman is not very capable.
Although he couldn't see through the other party's cultivation level, the aura emanating from her was not very strong.
It is probably not that his cultivation is higher than mine, but that he has used some means to hide his cultivation.
Just when everyone was betting on Cao Yun to win, Gu Li's friends placed their bets without hesitation.
Xi Zihan said with certainty: "One hundred million crystal stones, Gu Yi wins."
Feng Wuhen then shouted: "One hundred million crystal stones, Gu Yi wins."
Su Yiyun also said: "One hundred million crystal stones, Gu Yiying."
Lin Yuchen was not willing to be outdone: "One hundred million crystal stones, Gu Yi wins."
Mu Yunxi was equally determined: "One hundred million crystal stones, Gu Yi wins."
