Chapter 281: Chapter 131 Speculation

And Rocket Head and Viper’s expressions changed... Ah? Kill Lin An first?

They figured that with Gao Xin stepping in, both sides were still evenly matched, and it was uncertain who between Ling Sha and Swamp Crocodile would die.

But Lin An was in danger, for sure—Swamp Crocodile would definitely fight to the death to kill Lin An, and all Gao Xin needed to do was to restrain Ling Sha momentarily.

The probability of Lin An’s death skyrocketed in an instant.

Of course, by the same token, Gao Xin was also in danger, but what did his life or death matter to them?

They were betting on the life and death of Lin An and Swamp Crocodile!

Only to see Gao Xin standing by the window, not descending immediately but shouting, "Give me three minutes to heal my wounds. Hold on for a bit longer!"

As he spoke, he drank a pot of water and took out two balls of medicinal clay from his bosom, which he swallowed.

The crowd could see his arm grow back at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Indeed, there are no rookies in the Military Struggle Bureau.

Advanced players, who doesn’t carry some medicine? Obviously, Gao Xin’s delay in recovery was merely him holding back a card up his sleeve.

Now that he finally used the regenerative agent, he was surely going to go down and get serious.

He appeared weak, but could very well be strong in reality.

With him and Swamp Crocodile teaming up against the duo of Ling Sha and Lin An, the outcome was really unpredictable.

"Kid, why are you interfering? You can’t control this game!"

Rocket Head was furious. He had bet 2 points on Lin An winning, and with Gao Xin joining, the odds of him losing his bet increased.

He immediately took up his rocket launcher and aimed it at Gao Xin.

"And you think you can control it?" Viper stepped forward protectively!

His snake-like exoskeleton armor covered his entire body, and his twin swords slashed through the air, exploding the rocket!

"Boom!"

Viper was also a bloody mess, his heavy armor shattered.

But his life was unharmed, and he shouted to Gao Xin, "Well done! Don’t worry about this guy, leave him to me."

"Take a good rest, and go down to kill Lin An in a bit!"

At this moment, Gao Xin seemed like a contestant sent out by Viper, embodying his hopes of winning the bet.

points, that’s twenty thousand points. Viper was more than happy to have Gao Xin stepping in to take control for him.

He would definitely protect Gao Xin now, how could he let Rocket Head harm him?

Viper even didn’t hesitate to block a rocket, sustaining wounds far more serious than those he received for Swamp Crocodile before.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

For a while, Viper and Rocket Head fought over Gao Xin in the hall.

And Gao Xin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, healing calmly.

Steel Axe and Iron Hand both lit up with interest.

They looked towards the round table, where a third betting wheel had appeared[Tai Sui’s Decisive Battle with Ling Sha]!

"Open bets!"

Iron Hand cracked a smile, "Steel Axe, dare you bet against me?"

If every game had to be bet like this, they, the one-point players, couldn’t participate in the gamble.

But now, with three bets open at the same time!

The first two bets had already drawn in everyone’s points, leaving only him and Iron Hand with one point each.

This third bet would be undisturbed for their one-on-one point match.

Steel Axe’s heart was also ablaze with excitement, "Why not?"

Saying so, he took the initiative to bet, placing his entire point on Ling Sha winning.

This was obvious, in the four-way battle, it was uncertain who between Ling Sha and Swamp Crocodile would die, but Lin An and Gao Xin had a very high probability of dying.

Seeing this, Iron Hand laughed heartily, "You all underestimate Tai Sui too much."

"Do you know that the weapon in his hands is the Demon Blade?"

Steel Axe was clueless, not everyone recognized the Demon Blade, after all, such limited editions that frequently sold out were irrelevant to most people.

Iron Hand smiled and said, "This is a limited edition weapon!"

"I don’t know how he obtained it, but those who wield the Demon Blade, there isn’t a weakling among them!"

"Especially since he dares to enter the fray in this situation, he must be extraordinary!"

Steel Axe’s face turned ashen—indeed, if Gao Xin wasn’t highly skilled, how would he dare to step in?

Considering that even Viper didn’t dare, at the very least, Gao Xin’s confidence far surpassed Viper’s.

Plus the mention of the Demon Blade, this guy was definitely no pushover.

"Humph! What of it? With the chaos of the battle, the variables are too great, do you know the outcome?"

"Are you betting on a tie, or on him winning?"

After hearing this, Iron Hand smiled again.

Then he directly asked Gao Xin, "Tai Sui, little brother, are you truly aiming to kill Ling Sha, or do you intend to end in a tie?"

Steel Axe was astonished—what? Asking directly?

And Gao Xin actually replied, "Oh, I don’t want Ling Sha to die, a tie will do."

Iron Hand smiled and said, "That’s what I thought."

He then placed his one point on a tie.

If the person involved only intended to tie, then naturally the likelihood of a tie was greater.

There was no need for Gao Xin to lie to him, especially since Gao Xin was not participating in the bet.

Now no one else could join the bet, as everyone had already placed their points into the betting wheels.

"Damn it!" Steel Axe’s expression darkened, "Just because he says it’ll be a tie, it’ll end up that way? He can’t control the outcome of the game!"

As he spoke, he burst out in a second-stage overclock, charging directly at Gao Xin.

Without a doubt, if he could cripple Gao Xin now, he could secure his win.

But Iron Hand was ready and stepped in front of Gao Xin to protect him, clashing fiercely with Steel Axe.

"If you want to mess with him, have you asked me?"

For a moment, the hall erupted into chaos.

The viper battled the rocket head, and the steel axe fought against the iron hand, all for their respective bets.

Gao Xin stood by the window, overlooking the scene, his arm silently repaired.

From beginning to end, he remained calm.

He took off the meteor crossbow from his back and put it on his hand, now armed with a blade in one hand and a crossbow in the other, he was ready for battle.

The marsh crocodile struggled below, shouting, "Come down, brother!"

Gao Xin smiled slightly, "I’m coming, I’m coming."

He turned around and walked to the round table.

The black knight burst forth, rasping, "Fuck, I knew you wouldn’t enter the fight for nothing! Can’t you just wait a round?"

Being the only one who knew Gao Xin had points, he naturally realized Gao Xin was aiming to cheat and promptly warned him.

After all, once Gao Xin revealed his points, everyone would figure out the questioner’s play.

Then, in the next round, it would probably be more difficult for him to claim the right to be the questioner.

Gao Xin shrugged, "Sorry, if I wait any longer, the opportunity will be gone."

The black knight moved close and whispered fiercely, "You have to wait. Expose yourself in the next round, or else I’ll duel you."

In his view, it wouldn’t be so easy for Gao Xin to cheat.

Gao Xin would still need to bet correctly, but given the current situation, Gao Xin himself was in danger. How easy could it be to manipulate the game?

If the black knight joined in, Gao Xin’s situation would turn even grimmer.

However, Gao Xin showed no fear, laughing, "Then come at me!"

With those words, he struck first, instantly using three-stage overclocking, Demon Blade striking from an inconceivable angle.

The black knight’s eyes sharpened, already on guard, and reacted with overclocking as well.

But with this clash, his expression drastically changed.

"Puchi!"

Merely after three moves, Gao Xin had stabbed him in the heart with the blade.

If it weren’t for his armor, Gao Xin might have penetrated and even shredded his heart!

Even so, the black knight broke out in a cold sweat, retreating again and again.

What kind of godly sword technique was this?

Gao Xin did not pursue his advantage, instead slapping down his bet on the round table.

The crowd gasped in shock, "What! How come you have points?"

Gao Xin placed a bet of 4 points that he would draw with Ling Sha.

"What? You’re betting on this? Why are you betting here? Are you sick?" the black knight exclaimed, eyes nearly bursting.

Gao Xin’s bet was utterly preposterous!

He actually bet on his own match, "Tai Sui duels Ling Sha," where there were only two 1-point bets.

Compared to the first pool’s 12 points and the second’s 4 points, this third one only had 2 points, truly like a children’s table!

The black knight couldn’t comprehend, cursing, "Fuck! What kind of stupid operation is this?"

"Such a great opportunity to cheat, and you only sneak away with 2 points?"

In his view, Gao Xin should have cheated on the first pool.

After all, with a pool of 12 points, if Gao Xin bet on a draw and then entered the ring to help the marsh crocodile and Ling Sha to a draw, he could swallow all 12 points...

Still, it would be very difficult. If Gao Xin wanted to play it safe, he could have cheated on the second pool.

By betting on Lin An’s death and then entering the ring to kill Lin An alongside the marsh crocodile, he could take the combined 4 points from Rocket Head and Viper.

If all else failed, he could bet on both the second and third pools, splitting the 4 points into two 2-point bets, taking down both smaller tables.

In black knight’s eyes, Gao Xin had such a good chance to cheat; he could either be greatly greedy or slightly greedy... but he chose to be brain-dead!

Was he just betting that he wouldn’t die upon entering the ring?

Then why the hell enter the ring at all?

To cheat a measly 2 points, expose the questioner’s advantage, and force himself to compete with everyone for the right to pose the next question in the following round—it made the black knight so angry he could spit blood!

"What are you scared of! For 2 points, you expose your ass! Now’s the time to be greedy! Greedy!"

"Aaagh!"

The black knight was furious to the point of madness, wishing he could be the one to cheat at that moment. Unfortunately, he was down five points, unable to bet, and Gao Xin was wasting such an opportunity and advantage, which made him utterly frustrated.

Meanwhile, steel axe and iron hand were equally dumbstruck, "Shit! Where did you get those 4 points from?"

Once Gao Xin placed his 4-point bet, it effectively crushed their 1-point stakes.

Without more chips to follow, their earlier 1-point bets went directly into the jackpot.

"You! You you you you!"

First baffled, they then erupted in fury.

The two, having just faced off for Gao Xin’s sake, were now outwitted by his stealthy move.

"Go to hell!" they both exploded on the spot, transforming into two streaks of afterimage, charging towards Gao Xin to kill.

But Gao Xin had waited until the very last moment to place his bet, by which point his injuries had mostly healed.

He parried with his Demon Blade, retreated explosively, and quickly slipped into the corridor.

"Damn!"

Steel axe and iron hand reached the French window, indeed seeing Gao Xin had arrived at the Duel Arena.

Unless they dueled someone themselves, they couldn’t follow into the Duel Arena.

But what use was killing Gao Xin? Their 1 point was already gone, joining the duel just for revenge was simply not worth it.

Similarly, viper and rocket head only arrived at the window to watch.

Tai Sui had cheated, and the situation had abruptly shifted.

But it seemed unrelated to them, as Gao Xin hadn’t placed his bet on the second pool.

Now, in the Duel Arena, four people were dueling.

They were "Ling Sha duels marsh crocodile," "marsh crocodile duels Lin An," "Tai Sui duels Ling Sha."

The others observed from the second floor.
