"So what? If not, then what?" Chen Fan glanced at the liquor in front of him and calmly looked at the other party.

"Hahaha."

Yang Hu let out a series of laughs and said indifferently, "Brother Li, you are new here. It’s understandable that you don’t want to reveal your true strength. However, your performance in the ring just now has already revealed a lot of information. For example, just now, two or three minutes have passed, and no one dared to challenge you."

After saying this, Yang Hu poured himself a glass of wine and continued, "Brother Li, you really have some tricks. You took advantage of everyone’s uncertainty about your strength to bet on yourself and earn a hefty sum of points. Yang Hu truly respects you. However—"

"However what?"

Chen Fan knew the other party was deliberately keeping him in suspense.

It was just a matter of a few words, so he decided to cooperate.

"However, with your strength, Brother Li, there’s no need to go through such trouble to earn points."

"Oh?"

Chen Fan became interested and asked, "Listening to Brother Yang, is there a faster way to earn points?"

"Of course."

Yang Hu’s lips curled into a smile. "Brother Li, do you want to know?"

Chen Fan nodded and said, "Everyone would want to know. But if Brother Yang finds it inconvenient, then forget it."

"Hahaha, no need to be so anxious, Brother Li."

Yang Hu shook his head, glanced at the door, and then lowered his voice. "Since I called you here today, I naturally want to tell you this method. However, no matter the outcome, you mustn’t leak what we discuss in this room today. Otherwise, not only will I be in trouble, but you, Brother Li, will also be in danger."

"In danger?"

Chen Fan was taken aback.

"No need to be afraid, Brother Li."

Yang Hu waved his hand. "As long as you don’t speak out, there will be no danger."

Chen Fan nodded and signaled that he was all ears.

"In fact, only C-level Awakened are qualified to know this."

Yang Hu smiled and said, "Have you noticed that there are no C-level Awakened around the ring?"

"That’s right."

Chen Fan responded, "Are the C-level Awakened in the association all busy with cultivation and don’t participate in the ring matches?"

"Not at all."

Yang Hu’s lips curled up. "It’s not that they don’t participate. They do, and their opponents are also C-level Awakened within the association. Each person has one match per month, and each match causes a sensation, attracting a lot of Awakened to bet. There are even many Awakened from other places. Brother Li, do you know how many points these matches accumulate?"

"Ten thousand?" Chen Fan asked intentionally.

"Too low, guess again."

"Twenty thousand?"

"Brother Li, be bolder. Multiply that number by ten."

"Two hundred thousand!"

Chen Fan feigned shock.

Yang Hu’s face showed a look of pride. "Correct, two hundred thousand, sometimes even reaching three hundred thousand. Brother Li, do you understand what that means? Just the commission alone makes the association’s hands full, not to mention the two participating C-level Awakened, who all make a killing. Compared to that, Brother Li, your hard-earned ten thousand points is nothing."

He spoke meaningfully.

A flash of realization crossed Chen Fan’s mind.

He seemed to understand a bit about why the other party came to find him.

If he guessed correctly, they wanted him to throw the match.

Yes, the so-called C-level Awakener ring matches were likely a meticulously designed scam from start to finish.

The winner and loser were predetermined, just waiting for those unaware E-level and D-level Awakened to enter and have their wallets emptied.

The two participating C-level Awakened took the largest share, the association took a cut, and the leftover scraps were divided among the Awakened who made correct bets.

"Looks like Brother Li has already guessed. It’s always nice talking to someone smart." Yang Hu’s smile grew wider.

Chen Fan silently lamented for a second for those outside, then said, "So, Brother Yang means to have me act in cooperation?"

"Correct."

Yang Hu smiled, "Even if Brother Li reveals some of his capabilities, it’s no problem. We’ll arrange a powerful C-level Awakener from the association as your opponent. At that time, Brother Li, you can bet on yourself winning because he will undoubtedly lose to you in a completely reasonable way, and you will earn five thousand, ten thousand, perhaps even more points."

"Isn’t he worried about tarnishing his reputation by losing to a newcomer like me?" Chen Fan asked.

"He can always win it back next time, can’t he?"

Yang Hu dismissed it lightly. "Besides, compared to tens of thousands of points, reputation is nothing."

"That’s true."

Chen Fan took a deep breath.

He had to admit, the proposal was very tempting.
