"A quick way to earn points?"

Chen Fan looked skeptical.

There is no such thing as a free lunch. If there were, it would be a trap.

However, he didn’t choose to leave immediately, but instead asked curiously, "What way? How fast?"

"Brother, you’ll know if you come with us. Don’t worry, we won’t do anything to you because the place we’re going is within the association, specifically, the underground level of the association," said the tall, thin man.

"That’s right. Once you get there, you’ll understand. There are many people, all awakeners in the association. If you want to leave, no one will stop you," echoed the short, fat man.

Chen Fan furrowed his brows and said, "You two, you’re not even telling me what to do, and you want me to leave with you? Isn’t that a bit too optimistic?"

"Please step aside, I have other matters to attend to."

"Hey."

The two men exchanged glances. The tall, thin man quickly said, "Okay, brother, actually, it’s not a secret. You can ask around the association and you’ll find out."

"Yeah, brother, don’t rush to leave. Wait until we’re done explaining and then refuse if you want."

"Fine, go ahead."

"Brother, what’s your name?"

"Li Ping."

"So it’s Brother Li." The tall, thin man introduced himself, "I’m Zhang Jun, he’s Liao Yue. The two of us haven’t been in the association for long..."

"Let’s get to the point."

Chen Fan furrowed his brows, showing no interest in what these two men were called, as there would likely be no future connection with the Stone City Awakened Association.

"Alright, alright. Brother Li, you seem to be quite impatient."

Zhang Jun smiled and looked around before saying, "Brother, you just arrived. You might not know this, but the association has a platform for dueling. Awakeners duel each other, but you have to bet points. The winner takes the opponent’s points."

"You mean you want me to duel?" Chen Fan was somewhat surprised, but his heart stirred.

He felt that with his current strength, even facing a C-level Awakened wouldn’t be daunting. Once he understood the opponent’s superpower, defeating them wouldn’t be difficult.

In small cities, the strongest would be C-level Awakened. If he went to duel, wouldn’t it be a guaranteed way to earn points?

He was just worried about his insufficient 100 points.

Little did he know, Zhang Jun and Liao Yue both laughed after hearing Chen Fan’s words.

"Brother Li, do you think we’re the type of people who don’t know the consequences? You’re a newcomer. If we let you duel with others, wouldn’t that be hurting you?"

"Exactly, do we look like that type?" Liao Yue also laughed. "Dueling to earn points is fast. If you win consecutively, there are additional rewards. But think about it, anyone confident enough to duel is skilled. For newcomers like us, it’s better to forget it."

"Then what do you mean?"

"We mean another method," Liao Yue looked around and lowered his voice, "Betting, have you heard of it?"

"Betting?" Chen Fan’s pupils contracted.

"That’s right. Three minutes before each duel starts, we can bet on the two participants. If we bet correctly, the points can multiply several times. Once, someone in the association turned 100 points into more than ten times!" Liao Yue said excitedly.

"My highest was tenfold, turning 100 points into 1,000 in less than half a day! Brother Li, isn’t that fast?"

"It’s much faster than doing tasks."

The two sang in harmony.

"Isn’t that just gambling?"

Chen Fan frowned, "Does the association allow this?"

Zhang Jun and Liao Yue smirked meaningfully.

"It’s not allowed openly, but everyone knows the deal."

"Rest assured, the association won’t bother you because of this."

The two spoke one after the other.

Actually, the biggest beneficiary of this is the local association.

Because they not only get a share of the dueling points but also act as the biggest bookmaker, gaining a profit by adjusting the odds.

The general association initially banned such gambling activities until they found it useless.

Because awakeners in the association would gamble privately, causing deaths. It’s better to do it within the association’s base.

To truly eliminate such behavior, there’s only one way: not permitting free circulation of points. But that would harm the interests of many awakeners.

So, they eventually turned a blind eye, allowing this scheme while boosting the combat abilities of awakeners.

"Is that so?"

Chen Fan hatched a plan.

Despite the previous boasts, it was clear that most participants would end up losing everything. Only the association controlling the odds and a few awakeners would profit greatly.

However, he could capitalize on the fact that they were unaware of his strength to make a big profit!

Then, he could return to the base and buy the True Qi Pill Formula. How wonderful would that be?

"What if I want to duel?"

Chen Fan asked.

The atmosphere instantly turned silent. The two men in front of him widened their eyes, looking like they had seen a ghost.

After a while, Zhang Jun opened his mouth, "Brother Li, are you joking with us? You’re a newcomer, dueling would just be gifting points, wouldn’t it?"

"Exactly, the minimum requirement for dueling is 50 points, no upper limit. With your 100 points, they’ll be gone in the blink of an eye. If you’d bet, you could place five bets with ten points each."

"I just want to try it."

Chen Fan laughed.

"Alright then."

The two men stopped persuading him.

As long as Chen Fan was willing to go, they would receive their commission fee.

As for what happened afterward, they didn’t care.
