Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting-Novel

Chapter 389– Odds

Yuanen Huihui said: “If the third years win, the odds are 1 to 1.2, if we win, 1 to 3.6. Wait, the odds have changed again. It seems that someone has made a heavy bet on the third years. Their odds have changed to 1 to 1.19, and us 1 to 3.9.”

Lan Xuanyu’s mind raced slightly, narrowing his eyes, he said, “Wait for me! Let’s meet right now in my dormitory. I’ll call the others and then let’s discuss together, and see if there is an opportunity for us.” He has always been adventurous. This was the result of Yin Tianfan’s teaching, seeking wealth in the midst of danger.

Yin Tianfan said to him that if he wanted to seize an opportunity, then at least he had to be able to accept the worst result. And when the gains are likely to far outweigh the losses, that opportunity must not be missed.

Lan Xuanyu sent a message to everyone, and half an hour later, the other five people had all gathered in his dormitory.

Lan Xuanyu recounted the gambling ratio that Yuanen Huihui said.

“It’s getting close to 1 to 4 ! Then should we gather our emblems and bet them on ourselves?” Qian Lei said excitedly.

Lan Xuanyu said solemnly: “Looking at the odds, the third years should indeed have a greater chance of winning than ours, and at least in the eyes of outsiders, it should be very great. They will analyze based on our strength. And in their analysis, it’s not possible to conceal Frenzie’s Second Awakening. There are several things that the outside world does not know, one is that I am also three-ring now, and my bloodline has evolved. Neither do they know about the Second Awakening of Qianqiu’s Martial Soul, Fatty, is Fatty Jin awake?”

Qian Lei’s face changed slightly, “Not yet, but I really think it is about to wake up.”

Lan Xuanyu’s mouth twitched, “How sure are you? This is not a joke. He will have a key impact on the outcome.”

Qian Lei said: “Over 80% sure. I can feel it throbbing since the past few days, it’s the kind of feeling that he’s about to wake up at any time. It should still be evolving. After having absorbed so much vitality, It should have affected him quite a lot.”

Lan Xuanyu said: “Compared with the last game, I, Fatty, and Liu Feng have all entered the three-ring realm, and there is one more fatty among us, Fatty Jin. Liu Feng’s Martial Soul has awakened after mutating and his strength has improved greatly. Qianqiu has entered the four-ring realm and her Martial Soul has also awakened a second time. It’s equivalent to all of us having a whole transformation. Coupled with Huihui’s five rings and the awakening of his Elf King bloodline, our overall strength has greatly improved. One thing I can reveal is, after my bloodline has mutated, I have gained one more ability. An ability similar to a Martial Soul Fusion Technique, with very strong attack power, it should be very possible for me to instakill an opponent. But after that ace is used up, my strength will be greatly reduced. I won’t be able to use the power of my bloodline anymore. So it can only be used as a killer move at a critical moment. Most of the time, I will assist you and fight directly. My support has become more comprehensive this time, not only does it buff your bloodline, but also your elemental control.”

Lan Mengqin frowned slightly and said: “We all know that. Didn’t we all try it when we practiced together? What are you implying by saying all that ? Let’s bet on ourselves? Then let’s just do it and see how much we can gather.”

Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes, “No, we won’t bet our remaining emblems. These emblems are needed to ensure our basic needs. They cannot be used easily. There are not many left. Call everyone, there is one matter I have to tell you. Thanks to the efforts of Tang Yuge and I, the rewards we will receive from this game have increased.”

Then, he talked about what happened earlier with Ying Luohong.

Everyone looked at each other, and all of them showed joy. Even after losing, there was still a purple emblem ! Why would they be afraid of losing now ?

Lan Xuanyu said, “Are you guys thinking that we have plenty enough profits even if we were to lose, and are satisfied?”

Qian Lei nodded subconsciously. Liu Feng frowned, but Lan Mengqin raised her head, “Why would we lose? We must win.”

“Yes, we must win, we won’t lose to her.” Yuanen Huihui also said firmly.

Dong Qianqiu didn’t say a word, she just looked at Lan Xuanyu, and waited for him to continue.

Lan Xuanyu said: “Yes, it’s okay to lose. There is such a big gain, and it seems that we can be satisfied with that. But, have you thought about how long a purple emblem could last us? Even if it was exchanged against yellow emblems, in my case, it would be just enough for six trips to Sea Gog Lake. That is enough for me to use for one and a half months at most, if I cultivate without any restrain.”

“That’s quite a lot.” Qian Lei said with a grin.

Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes, “What if there are six? How about six purple emblems for each person? How much could we do? This time from selling the news, we have earned more than a dozen yellow emblems. But for everyone, that’s about two. It’s not enough for us to fully cultivate. If everyone could have six purple emblems, not only is this almost enough for this year’s cultivation, it can even save us the resources’ cost for crafting our Battle Armor. We won’t need to think of other ways to earn emblems anymore. We could spend all our time training and making our Battle Armor without wasting time. The efficiency will definitely be much higher and let us go ahead of others faster.”

Speaking of this, his eyes became especially bright, “So, we have to win, we must win the game. If we win, each person has two purple emblems. Since we have one purple emblem per person, we’ll bet all of them. The odds are 1 to 3.9, that means we’ll get close to four purple emblems. The benefits are simply too great. It could allow us to stop worrying about training resources for a year. I think it’s worth a gamble. I will inevitably bet my own purple emblem on us. You all, choose for yourself. But I hope that no matter how you choose, everyone will fight as if our lives depended on it in this battle.”

“I’ll bet.” Liu Feng said without hesitation. He grinned and showed his white teeth. “When I came to Shrek, it was an earth-shaking change for me. My speed of improvement is much faster than before. This is all because of Shrek Academy’s resources and Xuanyu’s help. I’ll give it a try, and see if we can rise from beggar to rich. Moreover, with no way out, our eruption power will surely be even greater.”

“I’ll follow too ! If I lose, one emblem is gone, and if I win, I’ll have six. Six hundred percent of the profit. Why would I hesitate ?” Qian Lei smiled, “More importantly, I believe in boss. He has never been wrong.”

“Me too.” Dong Qianqiu said concisely.

Yuanen Huihui’s differently colored eyes shone brightly, “This is the reason why I told big brother Xuanyu about this news ! Originally I just wanted to persuade him to bet our dozen or so yellow emblems. This time we’re playing big, it’s even better. Let me handle Tang Yuge, I will definitely beat her.”

“Then let’s do it together.” Lan Mengqin said casually.

Lan Xuanyu smiled, “If we lose, we can consider that nothing has happened. If we win, no one will be able to compare to us among the first years. When we’ll become second years, we all have our One-Word Battle Armor.”

Yes, if they were to lose, they would just lose the purple emblem that was just awarded, as if nothing had happened. If they win, they would have astronomical gains. In the history of Shrek Academy, there were probably only a few students from the Outer Court who could earn so many emblems in their first year. Such a huge amount of resources was enough for them to do a lot of things.

“Our slogan is.”

The six looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: “Give it a shot, let’s rise from beggar to rich.” After speaking, they couldn’t help laughing, and a strong fighting spirit bloomed from them. In this battle, no matter what, they had to win, they had to win!

“The odds have become 1 to 4, big brother Xuanyu.”
