In terms of annual earnings, a low level God of War could only make about 5 billion in a year after much hard effort. Although these elite training camp genius warriors all had limitless potential and received invitations and funding from various organisations, 5 billion was still a very large sum. In the training camp, only spiritual念师 or top ranked students engaging in gambling fights could easily make such amounts.
Of course, there were exceptions. If both sides were acting on impulse and pride, they might place extremely large bets.
“50 billion?” William narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at Luo Feng.
“Luo Feng…” Zhao Ru and Jiang Chen were both shocked as they looked at him.
“If you do not dare, forget it,” Luo Feng said calmly. “Senior Sister Zhao Ru, Jiang Chen, let us go.”
Zhao Ru and Jiang Chen quickly came back to their senses and immediately followed Luo Feng with smiles. Jiang Chen even shot a cold glance at William. He had previously been cheated out of a large sum of money by him.
Just as they were about to leave.
“Wait,” William called out.
“What, you are willing to bet now?” Luo Feng looked at him. “50 billion. If it is less, I am not playing.”
“Fine, 50 billion. I will take the fight,” William said. Although his Mandarin pronunciation was not accurate, his eyes showed he had clearly gone all in.
“Good, straightforward,” Luo Feng smiled.
“You set the time,” William said confidently.
“Tomorrow,” Luo Feng replied.
An exact time could not be set immediately, because there was only one challenge room. It might already be in use by other students, so the system had to assign a confirmed slot first.
“Alright.” William touched his nose, smiled, then turned and left.
At Jiangnan Pavilion, even Senior Brother Shi Jiang, who had gone to the Nine Layer Pagoda to train, rushed back immediately after hearing the news. Regardless of anything else, Shi Jiang, Zhao Ru, and Luo Feng were all from China’s Jiangnan Base City. They were from the same region, and they were also older and had entered the training camp earlier than Luo Feng.
Naturally, they would help him.
“Luo Feng,” Zhao Ru said angrily. “How could you accept a gamble fight with him? Do you think you are a genius warrior and that you are very strong? Because you have never met someone your age who is stronger than you, so you are overconfident?”
“This is blind confidence!”
Zhao Ru said angrily, “Many newcomers in the elite training camp have been tricked into gambling fights by senior students. Most of the time, they lose. You are a genius among geniuses, but everyone here is also a genius among geniuses, and they have trained here for a long time.”
“Alright, Zhao Ru,” Shi Jiang said calmly from the side.
“Senior Sister Zhao Ru,” Luo Feng smiled as he poured tea. “Do not be angry. By the way, you said William’s combat strength multiplier is medium, right?”
“Yes,” Zhao Ru paused.
“It seems Luo Feng is prepared,” Shi Jiang said, slightly surprised.
Because in virtual space life and death battles, both sides have identical physical conditions. In that situation, it depends entirely on fist force output, speed, movement techniques, and so on.
Combat strength multiplier equals fist force output level multiplied by Trial Tower level.
A multiplier of 1 to 2 is low. Most newcomers are in this range.
A multiplier of 2 to 4 is medium. After a year or so of training, most students reach this level. William was in this category.
A multiplier of 4 to 8 is high, considered qualified.
A multiplier of 8 to 16 is excellent. This is the standard for “excellent students,” though even within this range there are large differences.
Above 16 is special grade, also called super grade. Such people are so rare that even the world’s strongest, Hong and Thunder God, would compete to take them as disciples.
“Haha, not bad,” Luo Feng smiled.
“Good to have confidence,” Shi Jiang said, patting his chest in encouragement. “Teach that William that Chinese warriors are not so easy to bully.”
“Alright, senior brother, senior sister, I will go train first. A 50 billion gamble puts a lot of pressure on me,” Luo Feng said deliberately.
“Pressure my foot,” Zhao Ru snorted. “You were the one saying 10 billion was too little, and that 50 billion was still too small. That attitude of yours was something else.”
Luo Feng could only laugh helplessly. Zhao Ru really did not act like a girl at all.
He quickly excused himself and returned to his residence. That entire day on the 30th, aside from eating, he trained in his underground chamber. From morning until around 7 p.m., he continuously trained his speed. By the Third Layer of the Nine Layer Thunder Blade, he could now freely use 2.8 times burst power through his legs.
Without using spiritual念力, his speed already matched that of a newly advanced high level battle general.
…
At 8 p.m.
After showering, Luo Feng sat in front of his laptop wearing a bathrobe.
“This William, his combat strength multiplier is medium, meaning 2 to 4. As for me…” Luo Feng thought, “My fist force output level should be 2.8.”
Although he had not officially tested it, fist force output level refers to how many times one can burst above normal strength.
He could reach 2.8 times, so his level was 2.8.
As for Trial Tower level, based on forum discussions among students, clearing the B stage trial of the first layer, which he had done by killing 100 rhinoceros bulls, likely counted as level 1.6.
“My Trial Tower level is definitely more than 1.6. But even just 2.8 multiplied by 1.6 already gives me a combat strength multiplier above 4.”
“He is trying to bully me for being inexperienced?”
He opened his email.
A file had arrived.
“Challenge letter?”
This was sent after the system accepted William’s challenge application.
“Confirm acceptance.”
But replying was not enough. He also had to transfer 5 billion yuan into the challenge system account. Only after both sides deposited their money would the fight be officially established.
Without hesitation, Luo Feng transferred 5 billion Chinese yuan from his Swiss international anonymous account.
He was not worried. In the training camp, having over 10 billion yuan in an account was completely normal.
A new email arrived quickly.
“3:15 a.m. tomorrow?”
On the other side, William was with several white youths.
“His money has been deposited. Time is set for tomorrow at 11:15 a.m.,” William said.
“William, you were careless this time,” said a tall blond youth named Candice. “This is 50 billion yuan.”
“I will definitely win,” William said calmly.
Candice frowned. “You probably will, but still be careful.”
Soon, news spread through the entire training camp like a storm.
A 50 billion yuan gamble. A veteran bullying a newcomer.
On March 31, 11 a.m., the Nine Layer Pagoda, ninth floor, was already crowded with 40 to 50 people from all major factions.
At 11:10 a.m.
“William Edison, Luo Feng, enter the challenge room.”
The electronic voice echoed.
Both walked in.
Inside the challenge room, the layout was identical to the trial room, with two sofas and two blue consciousness helmets.
“Luo Feng, thank you for the 50 billion,” William said with a smile as he lay down.
“Hope you do not cry later,” Luo Feng replied, also lying down.
At the same moment, both put on their blue helmets.
