The three of them walked inside.
As soon as they entered, it was clear that the arena for D-rank Beast Tamers was much larger than the one for E-rank Beast Tamers.
The cheers and shouts from the crowd were louder all around.
Yuna handed a card to one of the reception staff.
The staff member was visibly taken aback, then respectfully led the way to the side and escorted the three of them into a private box on the second floor.
The box was luxuriously styled, and through the glass window, they could clearly see the scene below.
In front of the soft seats was a holographic touch screen where they could view information about the competitors and place bets at any time.
Qiao Sang had a complex expression on her face.
She had been here yesterday and never realized that such a place existed...
At that moment, Tang Yi’s voice rang out, "I’ve been coming here for so long and didn’t know such a place existed!"
"Thanks, my mouthpiece..." Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something, looked at Yuna, and asked,
"Did you bring any money?"
Yuna was startled and thought that Qiao Sang was worried about the expenses, "I have a VIP card; this box is free."
"Not that," Qiao Sang replied. "I’m talking about cash, apart from a credit card."
Yuna shook her head slightly, "My family only gave me a credit card."
Same as me... Qiao Sang let out a disappointed "Oh."
Yuna realized what was meant and asked, "Do you want to place a bet?"
Qiao Sang nodded, "I only have a credit card too, it’s a pity they don’t allow credit cards for placing bets here, and they don’t allow self-betting in related contests. I was thinking you could help me bet, and I would pay you back later."
Upon hearing this, Yuna laughed, "You forgot, I’m a VIP here. I have money in my VIP card."
Qiao Sang immediately perked up, "Then when I go to compete, help me place a bet, and I’ll pay you back afterward."
"No problem," Yuna gave an ok gesture.
"Bet for me too." Tang Yi said excitedly, "I was also looking for someone to help me bet, but sadly couldn’t find anyone."
"No problem," Yuna smiled and replied, "You’ve come to the right person. With me here, it would be hard for you to lose."
After saying this, she formed hand seals with both hands.
A grey Star Array lit up on the floor.
Soon, a Pet Beast appeared in the box, primarily white with a slender upper body and a plump lower body, two blue ribbons floating beside it, long arms with three fingers each, and two cards in its hands.
"Its name is Zeyou Mu," Yuna introduced. "Just give it two options, and it can predict which one is most likely the optimal choice with high probability."
"Zeyou," Zeyou Mu greeted, by way of saying hello.
This ability is too much of a bug; it’s like a "cheating artifact" in betting... Qiao Sang envied.
Tang Yi, interested, spoke up, "Can we try it out right now?"
"Of course," Yuna pointed to the two Beast Tamers below who were competing on the stage, "Zeyou Mu, show us."
Her expression was full of confidence, and her tone extremely casual.
"Zeyou."
Upon hearing its Beast Tamer’s words, Zeyou Mu tossed the cards in its hand upwards, pausing in midair.
It closed its eyes.
About three seconds later, the left card glowed blue and slowly descended, hovering in front of Zeyou Mu.
"Zeyou."
Zeyou Mu opened its eyes, looked at the card in front of it, then pointed toward the Beast Tamer standing on the left side of the stage and shouted.
Following that, Yuna confidently pointed, "I don’t know the exact score, but if we are just betting on win or lose, this person should be the winner."
In an instant, Qiao Sang and Tang Yi unwittingly held their breath, watching the fight below, waiting for the final result.
Nineteen minutes later, the winner was decided.
The player on the left had all three of his Pet Beasts fall to the ground first, while the player on the right waved and smiled to signal victory.
Xiao Xunbao’s receiving attribute had now reached A-rank and could hold living things. The specifics had not been tested, but a week should be absolutely no problem.
"Xun Xun~"
Xiao Xunbao appeared and took the Chan Chan Stone.
"Chan Chan..."
The Chan Chan Stone, having just attempted to escape and failed, silently left behind two lines of crystals.
Upon leaving the bathroom, she had only taken a few steps.
Suddenly, she overheard the voices of two men conversing:
"When’s your turn?"
"After this match, the third one."
"Okay, what’s your price?"
"I want fifty thousand more than last time."
"That’s not possible."
"If you don’t pay, who knows how the match against Naideng will turn out later? What if by chance I accidentally win? What would it mean for you as Naideng’s agent? I want money, you want fame; isn’t it perfect for us to get what we need from each other?"
"Mr. Kayus, you seem to overrate yourself. Do you really think you can beat Naideng?"
"If you thought I couldn’t win, why would you come to me?"
"..."
So this is what adult competitions are like... I’ve heard about the buying of opponents; didn’t expect to encounter it now... Couldn’t they find a more secretive place to deal, not knowing they’re being overheard... But speaking of which, my ears are becoming more sensitive; I haven’t seen anyone, but I heard everything so clearly... Qiao Sang critiqued internally, pretending outwardly that she heard nothing, and walked towards the venue where the tournament was held.
A minute later.
Two men exited the men’s bathroom.
"Then, here’s to a pleasant cooperation."
"To a pleasant cooperation."
