He glanced at Long Xiao and said frankly, "Prepare the best room and the best accommodation you have."
Since they were going to be fleeced anyway, he might as well be generous.
The woman's eyes lit up. "We have a super deluxe suite, complete with the best food and the youngest, most beautiful waitresses. However, there's an additional service fee of five hundred thousand."
Ye Tian said, "Alright, please lead us there."
The woman smiled even more sweetly, her alluring charm intensifying. "Of course, please follow me."
Long Xiao chuckled, "Youngsters, you just don't know how to save. Five hundred thousand, I wouldn't be willing to spend."
Ye Tian replied, "One shouldn't shortchange oneself when traveling. Didn't you say there are rewards for winning against opponents? I shouldn't lose out."
Long Xiao said, "One must prepare for the worst."
Ye Tian sneered, "As a Vajra Martial King, if I can't even enter the Yellow level rankings, I might as well just bash my head against a wall and die."
Long Xiao rarely laughed, but he did now. "That's true."
The woman's body trembled slightly upon hearing their conversation. Vajra Martial King?
As an attendant, she was well aware of martial artist realms. The Vajra Martial King was a formidable existence.
She turned and smiled, "Gentlemen, the super deluxe suite actually comes with a discount. I have a little authority, and I can give you both a forty percent discount."
Ye Tian smiled, "Thank you very much, beautiful."
The woman beamed, "Just call me Xiao Dong."
Long Xiao asked, "Xiao Dong, let me inquire, among the people who have arrived, are there any particularly strong ones?"
Dong Rui lowered her voice. "The manager mentioned that there are quite a few strong contenders this time, about six or seven. However, they definitely won't be able to defeat Mr. Ye, after all, you are a Vajra Martial King."
Long Xiao said, "We are here for the Profound level. The Yellow level is just a formality, and securing a ranking should be no problem."
Dong Rui smiled, "The rewards this year are greater than in previous years. If you break the record in the basic test, you'll receive a bonus."
Long Xiao was somewhat surprised. "Oh, there's a bonus for breaking the record too?"
Dong Rui replied, "I heard the management allocated fifty billion. This fifty billion will be distributed based on each person's points."
Long Xiao asked, "So, all the prize money will only be distributed at the end?"
Dong Rui said, "That should be the case."
As she spoke, Dong Rui led them to a new room. It was a three-story small building, and their accommodation was on the second floor, a three-bedroom, one-living room unit, luxuriously decorated. However, no matter how well it was decorated, it wasn't worth three hundred thousand.
After showing them in, Dong Rui took her leave.
Long Xiao closed the door and said, "Let's rest first, and go out again in the evening."
Ye Tian asked, "Didn't you say this is a good opportunity for exchange?"
Long Xiao sneered, "A bunch of trash outside, what's there to exchange? If you really want to exchange, wait until tonight."
Ye Tian asked, "Why?"
Long Xiao smiled mysteriously, "Someone will be organizing underground fights tonight."
Ye Tian was surprised. "Underground fights?"
Long Xiao replied, "Otherwise, where do you think the fifty billion in funds came from?"
Ye Tian asked, "You mean, a lot of money will be involved tonight?"
Long Xiao extended a hand. "The scale of the funds will not be less than fifty billion! However, they gamble outside the arena, and not many people gamble inside, as it's risky."
Ye Tian blinked. "Can we participate?"
Long Xiao said, "Without a few hundred million in funds, you're not qualified to participate."
Ye Tian smiled, "I don't have money, but my friend does."
He then called Wu Zongnian, explained the situation, and asked, "Old Wu, do you have a channel to participate in the gambling fights?"
Wu Zongnian replied, "I don't usually gamble."
Ye Tian said, "This isn't gambling, it's picking up money. As long as you encounter a fight I'm in, bet on me to win."
Wu Zongnian said, "That I can do. If we make money, we'll split it fifty-fifty. I'll hang up now, I'll go inquire if there's a way."
Long Xiao looked somewhat envious. "Who is your friend?"
Ye Tian replied, "A rich person."
He then asked, "Can anyone participate in the gambling fights tonight?"
Long Xiao said, "As long as you are willing and sign a life-and-death contract, no one will stop you."
Ye Tian asked, "What benefits do the fighters get?"
Long Xiao said, "According to past rules, the winning party in a gambling fight can receive one percent of the stake they put in."
