Chapter 122: Chapter 102: Beast Tide Warning (2)
Dasa naturally understood, and he squinted his eyes, feeling calm.
He had already made up his mind.
Reaching the quarter-finals, he had already flaunted enough, and there was no need to take a beating.
If he indeed drew Li Jiuxiao, Wan Ming, or Li Qiuqiu, then he would announce publicly:
Withdraw due to injury!
Then, leave here overnight.
He could imagine how explosive these people’s mindset would be at that time.
His hand came out from the box, and he took a slight glance, immediately his expression lit up.
Number 1!
It’s number 1!
Which means...
Dasa turned to look at Lin Chen on the side, the retreating battle intent in his eyes once again surged...
Such a low-level Plowhorn Beast, no fear at all.
Dasa felt very confident, even though Lin Chen’s Plowhorn Beast had some potential, winning should not be a problem.
So, he raised his hand high, and the audience below also saw the number at this time, their mindset suddenly a bit shaken.
"Number 1, the opponent is...Lin Chen?"
"No, how could he draw number 1."
Many felt very uncomfortable.
Although they knew Lin Chen was unusual, they were internally convinced that Lin Chen’s Plowhorn Beast would struggle to survive this round.
After all, quality and level were both lagging.
"Could it be that the storyline I mentioned is really coming true."
Many began to worry and started to analyze:
"Lin Chen can do it, he has a chance, didn’t he previously defeat the level 18 Shadow Tiger?"
"That was in the Barbaric Bloodline state, but who can control that thing?"
...
Golden Bull Casino
As the official designated casino for this Cow King Competition, it’s been very profitable this time.
An employee rushed into the office and opened it, saying to the boss Tian Qi: "Boss, the quarter-final draw results are out, how should we set the bets for tomorrow?"
Tian Qi took a look and said in surprise: "They actually all avoided."
The so-called avoidance refers to Li Jiuxiao and the others.
The employee flattered and said: "Boss, you’re so clever, your previous predictions for the top eight were basically spot-on."
Tian Qi wasn’t boastful, he seriously scanned the matchup list and quickly wrote down their odds.
Two internal battles within the Li Family, and Wan Ming also faced someone from the Li Family.
As for Lin Chen versus Dasa, he started to hesitate.
"What do you think?" Tian Qi asked the employee.
The employee thought for a while, and said: "If talking about disadvantage, Lin Chen should be slightly weaker, previously you analyzed that the reason he defeated the Shadow Tiger was due to the Mad Bull Bloodline."
"So, setting it at 1.7 to 2.2 should be about right."
"Reasonable." Tian Qi said, writing down 1.7-2.2 directly on it.
"Alright, I’ll bring it out, so many gamblers outside are waiting." The employee said and was about to leave when he realized something wasn’t right, saying: "Boss, is it written the wrong way? Lin Chen’s odds should be 2.2."
"No, Lin Chen’s odds are 1.7," Tian Qi said confidently.
"Well...." The employee was puzzled.
"Go." Tian Qi didn’t explain, just waved his hand.
The boss doesn’t need to explain his actions to the employees, just like when he insisted on listing Lin Chen as seventh back then.
Although in the beginning, Dasa was ranked sixth, ahead of Lin Chen, Tian Qi watched Lin Chen’s matches later, and with his sharp eyes made a startling conclusion:
Lin Chen is hiding!
Additionally, since gaining fame in Jiuxing City, Lin Chen’s track record has been impressive.
These factors are enough to make Tian Qi more inclined to believe Lin Chen can win tomorrow’s battle!
...
"...I was going to try my luck, but didn’t expect this boss to be so absurd, only offering 1.7 odds."
Qin Hao and the others rushed excitedly to place a bet upon hearing Lin Chen’s match with Dasa, surprised by Lin Chen’s low odds.
"Seems like earning money from the casino is really hard." Cai Yuanji regretted.
If facing Li Jiuxiao, Qin Hao and the others thought Lin Chen might not win.
But handling Dasa, isn’t that quite straightforward?
Qin Hao truly didn’t understand what the outside people were panicking about.
While they were chatting, Xu Youzhen came in a hurry holding a zither, asking Lin Chen: "Want to listen to a zither tune? It’s free."
"...."
Lin Chen was stunned, asking him what’s wrong.
Xu Youzhen then said: "That foreigner harmed my beloved disciple, I hope you give him a good beating."
Lin Chen then recalled that Xu Youzhen had been absent from Dasa’s matches these days, evidently he went to watch the matches.
Remembering Xu Youzhen’s past assistance, he said: "Please be at ease, senior."
"I trust you," Xu Youzhen also knew Lin Chen’s strength.
"However, just in case, it’s better to listen to a tune..." Lin Chen changed the subject.
There’s no harm listening, even if the effect isn’t great, it’s better than nothing.
Xu Youzhen didn’t decline, he directly took Xiaobai and played a tune.
Lin Chen and the others went outside to wait, finding Lee Zhen leading Huang Xiaotian and walking hurriedly.
"When did Captain Huang arrive?" Bai Jiajia was surprised.
Lin Chen stepped forward as he noticed Lee Zhen and their faces looked uneasy.
Upon seeing Lin Chen, Lee Zhen spoke first: "I won’t watch your match, heading back to the city first."
"Urgent mission?"
"Beast tide warning..." Lee Zhen pointed to Huang Xiaotian and said: "Xiaotian and the team gathered some information, predicting Jiuxiao might face a beast tide."
"Then how do we go back?" Qin Hao felt anxious.
"No need to worry, it’s just a warning, not necessarily true, if there really is a beast tide, the guild machine will push the information." Huang Xiaotian said.
After speaking, Lee Zhen handed the VIP badge to Qin Hao, then rode the Gale Beast and returned.
