Chapter 1147: Chapter 1147: Another Gamble_1

"Junior Brother Wang, you’re out of closed cultivation?" As soon as he came out, Peter saw Aurora Taylor standing there, her eyes brimming with joy.

"Yeah, I’m out."

"Junior Brother Wang, do you think you have a shot at winning this time?"

Peter glanced at her and said, "Thinking of placing a bet?"

"Yes, everyone is betting now, your odds are one to fifteen, so if you win, you could make quite a bit of money."

Peter just smiled wryly. He was out of money and couldn’t place a bet even if he wanted to.

While they were talking, Peter and Aurora headed to the betting area.

Once there, Peter realized that the place was packed with people, all placing their bets.

"Junior Brother Wang, I’ve bet all my money on your victory."

"It seems like there are still quite a few hot favorites."

Peter looked at the list of popular competitors on display.

After a while, Aurora approached Peter and said, "I’ve placed my bet, why aren’t you betting?"

"I’m out of money!"

Peter gave a wry smile. He was confident in himself, but unfortunately, he had spent all his money.

"Didn’t you win over two hundred thousand yesterday?"

Peter thought to himself that news spread too fast; he didn’t expect everyone to know about it already.

"Really, all gone. I can’t bet even if I want to, all I have now is my equipment."

After thinking for a moment, Aurora said, "Junior Brother Wang, if you truly believe in yourself, you can still bet even without money."

"Oh?"

Peter looked at Aurora, genuinely surprised to hear that.

"You can take your unused Immortal Artifacts and such items for valuation, and after they are appraised, you can sell them or use them as collateral for your bet."

"Where can I do that?"

Peter’s face lit up with excitement. The items he obtained from several people’s storage bags should be worth twenty thousand. He could definitely exchange these items for some money.

"I’ll take you there."

Aurora was eager to help Peter, and she led him into the largest casino.

Once inside, Peter indeed saw many people getting their items appraised.

Aurora, familiar with the place, did not jostle with the crowd but led Peter toward the rear.

"Junior Brother Wang, you’re a celebrity; you can have someone take care of you personally."

After Aurora spoke with the staff inside, a beautiful woman came to greet them.

"Sophie, please appraise Junior Brother Wang’s items quickly. He’s in a hurry to place his bet after the appraisal."

Aurora didn’t stand on ceremony, and immediately said to the woman who had appeared.

With a smile, Sophie Carter said, "Isn’t this Junior Brother Wang? You’re quite the celebrity now, with odds of one to twelve. Are you going to bet on yourself winning again?"

Peter Brown nodded his head and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister."

While speaking, Peter Brown took out several storage bags.

Sophie Carter was a professional. Seeing the assortment of items Peter Brown brought out, her expression tightened as she began to meticulously inspect each one.

"Oh!" Suddenly, Sophie’s gaze was drawn to a jade box. Upon opening it, there was a stone-like material inside.

After studying the stone for a while, Sophie said, "This is a Fiery Sun Stone, a rare material used in refining artifacts. This stone alone is worth 10,000."

Peter also took a look. He really couldn’t recognize the stone, and thinking he had no use for it at the moment, he nodded and said, "Alright, let’s sell it all together."

"Your items are worth 20,000, and the Fiery Sun Stone is 10,000, making it 30,000 in total."

Peter didn’t expect an extra 10,000 and was satisfied. He nodded and said, "That’s fine."

Sophie smiled and said, "We have appraised you and deemed that your potential is significant. We can make a risky investment in you, providing you with 50,000 immortal coins, which means lending you 50,000. You will return 60,000 to us after one month. Would you be interested in taking the loan?"

Was there such a thing?

A look of surprise and delight shone in Peter’s eyes. An extra 10,000 in a month was really nothing to him; just the income from his medicinal solutions would exceed that amount given the time.

"Alright, please process it immediately. That makes 80,000 total, bet it all on my entering the top 10!"

Sophie admired Peter’s audacity, thinking to herself that this young man truly had the guts to gamble big.

After some thought, Peter took out the crystal mist sword and said, "This sword is worth over 20,000, right?"

Sophie checked it and said, "Yes, this sword is worth 30,000. You want to sell this as well?"

Shaking his head, Peter said, "I won’t sell the sword. I’ll use it as collateral; lend me another 20,000. Also, how about lending me a Grade Four Immortal Saber?"

Sophie smiled and said, "Of course, that’s fine. With this, the bets you’ve placed on yourself winning have reached 100,000."

"That’s right!"

The process was quick, and once Peter had the paperwork, he was exhilarated inside. Although he hadn’t won any money, Peter was still overflowing with confidence in himself.

"Junior Brother Wang, you’ve bet quite a lot!"

Aurora Taylor looked at Peter with some worry. She had not expected Peter to be so bold; it seemed like he was all-in.

"No worries, I have the sales from my medicinal solution. Are you still afraid I won’t be able to earn it back?"

Aurora nodded vigorously and said, "That’s true, with those medicinal solutions, you’re certain to make back the money, but don’t you need that Fifth-Class sword?"

Peter replied, "The battle today won’t attract anyone from the Immortal Realm, only ordinary Post-heavenly Beings. A Fourth-Class should be sufficient to deal with them. Betting a bit more money means earning more."

Aurora laughed and said, "You have such a shrewd calculation."

After they left, when looking at the odds again Aurora said, "It’s dropped a bit more, now it’s 11.5 to 1. I wonder if it will drop below 10."

"Don’t worry about it, as long as there’s a profit to be made."

Peter wasn’t going to dwell on it. He found a place to sit cross-legged and commenced the refining ritual of his newly acquired great saber.

When Peter had finished the ritual of the great saber and after he had regulated his breath, the bells announcing the competition rang out again; people surged towards the Arena Platform.

Today was the battle for the top 100 to compete for the top 10 spaces. This was not of great concern to everyone, but as betting was allowed, it naturally drew the attention of too many individuals. The influx of bettors was unending, and the area surrounding the Arena Platform was already overflowing with people.

Peter made his way to the Arena Platform, all the while hearing the discussions about who might have a chance of winning. Of course, he was also mentioned as a dark horse, but it was clear that not many were optimistic about his chances of making it into the top 10. They believed it all came down to cultivation, and a person from the Spiritual Layer like him couldn’t possibly make it into the top 10.
