Chapter 7: Advance Crystal, I Pressure Myself
"Since both parties agree, the gambling fight officially begins!"

"Student Ye Fan, where are your other teammates?"

Li Mingyuan asked.

As the city lord, he didn't think that two people could break the record.

After all, Ye Fan’s initial energy value when he awakened was less than 10 points.

Unless the woman next to him is a second-time awakener and her initial energy value is not low, he will not even be qualified to enter the obelisk.

You know, after the awakening yesterday, there was no second awakener in the entire Dragon Country.

The strongest person in Jinling City is still Zhao Qianqian, who has awakened an SSS-level Flame Black Magician.

Since Ye Fan is determined to break the record, he must have other helpers.

With this kid's looks, maybe he can really find a few powerful female professionals.

But what Li Mingyuan never expected was.

Ye Fan actually shook his head.

"My Lord City Lord, this time, it's just me and Awu who are challenging the Flame Monkey to race the Obelisk."

"Time is money, so get started!"

When they heard the answer, there was an uproar around them.

Li Mingyuan winked at Ye Fan secretly.

He signaled to him to find three people to make up the number, otherwise he would not be able to enter the obelisk and would become a laughing stock.

But Ye Fan seemed not to receive the signal.

Holding Awu's hand, he walked straight towards the obelisk.

Seeing this scene, the professionals around were shocked.

Those who reacted immediately started to increase their bets.

Let’s not talk about whether Ye Fan is qualified to enter the obelisk.

There are only two people in his team, so there is no way they can compare to Zhao Qianqian's team.

You know, the opponent has a perfect iron triangle lineup.

Defense warrior Li Kai can block the damage from the Fire Monkey in the front.

The thief Shen Lie and the archer Wang Cong can attack with confidence from a safe distance.

Even if teammates are hurt, Paladin Xiao Yan will heal them with Holy Light.

The most important thing is that there is Zhao Qianqian, a rare professional Flame Black Mage, in the team.

Her black fire is extremely overbearing and is almost the nemesis of all fires.

Besides, Wang Cong and the other four are considered to be the best among the awakened professionals this time.

They came here today because they were absolutely sure that they could break the record of the Flame Monkey racing across the Obelisk.

Under such a comparison, it is not something that can be decided with eyes closed.

But Shen Tianxing, the little princess of the God of Wealth Guild, doesn't think so.

She felt that there must be some secret that no one knew about.

After all, if the energy value is less than 150 points, you cannot enter the obelisk.

Ye Fan was once the number one genius in Jinling City. He would definitely not be as stupid as Wang Cong.

Therefore, Shen Tianxing adjusted the basic odds to 1 to 2000.

Otherwise, the odds for a bet that has almost decided should be higher.

Seeing this, Li Mingyuan could only sigh.

"Okay, since Ye Fan doesn't have any other teammates."

"Then the gambling fight begins now."

"There are 18 empty rooms in the Flame Monkey Racing Obelisk. You two groups can choose any one to enter."

"The current fastest record is 38 minutes and 55 seconds. Whoever can beat this time will win the bet."

Wang Cong pushed his green melon-shaped hat.

"Don't worry, City Lord. Victory will definitely belong to our team."

Zhao Qianqian glared at Ye Fan and Awu, then placed her hand on the obelisk.

The next second, the five people turned into white spots of light and disappeared without a trace.

On the obelisk, the room marked as number 5 has changed from white to deep red.

It is obvious that the battle belonging to Zhao Qianqian's team has begun.

Ye Fan was not in a hurry.

The Speed ​​​​Obelisk calculates the total time required to complete the strategy.

It's not the case that whoever enters first will have the advantage.

Li Mingyuan was a little curious.

"Student Ye Fan, do you need anything else?"

"The gambling fight has already begun. It's probably not appropriate to recruit teammates now!"

"In fact, there is no possibility for you and classmate Zhao to be together anymore."

"Even if you lose, it won't have any real impact on you."

"Given the configuration of their team, there is a great possibility that they will break the record."

"So, you don't need to have too much psychological burden."

Li Mingyuan thought he saw Ye Fan's difficulties and spoke to comfort him.

But who knows.

The other party came closer with a twisted grin, then stretched out his right hand with a sly smile on his face!
"Well... Lord City Lord!"

"I'm not planning on recruiting any new teammates, nor am I planning on giving up the gambling fight."

"That's right... I just want to ask you for an advance of some crystals." "Awu and I are absolutely sure that we can break the record this time, and even take much less time than Wang Cong and the others."

"The 1 to 2000 odds offered by the God of Wealth Guild are really..."

Speaking of this, even if Ye Fan had lived two lives, he couldn't help blushing.

After all, they were clearly at a disadvantage, yet they still wanted to draw the crystals in advance.

Li Mingyuan looked Ye Fan up and down.

He had been paying attention to this kid for a long time and he was always very calm.

"Well, you can."

"But you know my situation. My wife is very strict and I don't have many crystals on me."

"500, this is all my private money."

When it comes to the three words "private money", City Lord Li lowers his voice.

And he winked at Ye Fan again.

This time, our classmate Ye Fan finally saw it clearly.

He also responded with an understanding expression.

Transferring the crystal is very simple.

As long as the profession is awakened, both parties can trade through the character interface.

The materials and equipment obtained from the obelisk can also be traded in this way.

After receiving 500 crystals, Ye Fan was shocked.

"Thank you, Lord City Lord."

"After the gambling game is over, I will definitely give you a big red envelope."

After saying that, Ye Fan blinked in a nasty way.

Without waiting for Li Mingyuan to answer, he rushed to Shen Tianxing's side.

"I'll offer 500 crystals to buy my own victory."

Seeing his master being so shameless, Awu finally felt relieved.

But Shen Tianxing and the professionals around him were all dumbfounded.

It was the first time they saw two people fighting and betting on their own winnings.

Shouldn't you bet on the other party to win, and then deliberately let them win and lose?

This is the safe way!

For a moment, many people who bet on Zhao Qianqian to win began to panic.

After all, Ye Fan's current appearance clearly shows that he is full of confidence.

Shen Tianxing even saw through the trick.

She smiled at Ye Fan.

"Brother, according to convention, participants in gambling fights cannot bet on themselves."

"But since you're handsome, I'll make an exception."

"500 crystals. If you win, Tianxing will have to pay 100 million."

"You must remember the kindness of others!"

After saying that, Shen Tianxing threw a coquettish glance.

Ye Fan was immediately shocked.

Fortunately, I have gotten used to it over the years and recovered quickly.

Ah Wu glared at Shen Tianxing on the stage, pouting her lips as if to say, "You are more like a vixen than I am."

Ye Fan's actions have a significant impact.

Many people began to increase their bets.

But unexpectedly, Shen Tianxing had already adjusted the odds.

Now the betting is 1 to 2 for Zhao Qianqian's group, and 1 to 50 for Ye Fan's group.

Seeing this, those who had originally planned to buy Ye Fan all bought Zhao Qianqian instead.

After all, that side has a higher chance of winning.

As for whether the two teams have the ability to break the record, not many people care.

After placing the bet, Ye Fan led the angry little fox to the obelisk.

The Flame Monkey Racing Obelisk is only about one meter tall.

There are 20 small square rooms on the diamond-shaped stele.

At this moment, three rooms have turned deep red.

In other words, there are three teams challenging the Flame Monkey.

Ye Fan looked to the left side of the obelisk.

On the transparent light curtain is the holder of past racing records.

First place: Zao Wou-Ki team, with a time of 38 minutes and 55 seconds.

Second place: Li Xianglan team, time 45 minutes and 33 seconds.

Third place: Ma Xiaoyue team, time 48 minutes and 22 seconds.

…………

"Team Zhao Wuji seems very strong!"

“There was an 8-minute gap between us and the second place.”

"But for the crystal, I will surpass you!"

After saying that, Ye Fan placed his hand on the obelisk.
