Chapter 195 You're Curious
It was already night when we left Yujing Tower.
Although none of the young people participating in the meeting had the bad habit of dragging things out, the back-and-forth arguing and rebuttals still made the meeting last for several hours, extending into the evening.
The time in Baiyujing is synchronized with reality. At night, Baiyujing is illuminated by thousands of lights, and the lights, which are very different from those in modern times, give people a glimpse of the bustling night market in ancient times.
There were even more students on the streets than during the day.
In the distance, brilliant fireworks rose, probably to celebrate the arrival of the holiday.
However, since it was already night, Bai Ze no longer needed to be surrounded by people due to the dim lighting.
Luo Shui, walking backwards towards Bai Ze, said with a grin, "How about it, Lao Bai, surprised? With me becoming the president of the Ordnance Society, you suddenly have four votes in your hands. Yun Shu didn't even dare to submit a single proposal, lest he be humiliated."
"Yes, it's a pleasant surprise," Bai Ze said rather calmly.
This flat tone immediately drew Luo Shui's displeasure. She said, "That's it? Aren't you going to ask me anything else? Aren't you curious why I was able to take over as the head of the arms industry?"
"Not curious." Bai Ze completely ignored the question.
"Aren't you curious why Zhang Fan is so reluctant to step down?"
"Not curious."
"You mean...?"
"Not curious."
Bai Ze has even learned to answer questions quickly.
Luo Shui's originally smug face gradually turned red.
"Let me tell you..."
"It's highly likely that Mu Yaoguang made this arrangement in advance, since you were originally the person she chose."
Bai Ze answered again.
"I
"I guessed it, so I'm not curious at all," Bai Ze continued.
Luo Shui, gritting his teeth!
She really wanted to have a real-life PK with Bai Ze, but unfortunately, she was no match for him.
Even if she secretly becomes a three-star martial artist, she still can't be a match for Bai Ze.
In the end, Luo Shui could only say bitterly, "You bastard Lao Bai, I curse you to never find a girlfriend in your entire life."
"With my modeling skills, it would be difficult for no woman to like me," Bai Ze replied with a light laugh.
His behavior of hitting and arguing with women would have driven most people crazy, but unfortunately, Bai Ze has good character design and strength.
That's what we call true nature.
If the modeling isn't good, then it'll just be a dark goblin.
"Don't talk to me," Luo Shui snorted.
After walking half a street, Luo Shui struck up a conversation with Bai Ze again, "I didn't realize you were so generous. The alchemy society's supply of pills is quite profitable, yet you just distribute them like that, even sharing your own share. Even if you don't need them, exchanging them for points is still good."
Seeing Luo Shui's change of expression after walking half a street, Bai Ze chuckled and explained, "The problem is that those points are simply not enough for me. Exchanging chapters of the *Cantongqi* often requires over a million points. Who knows when I'll ever accumulate enough points this way."
Although Bai Ze was penniless last year, now he has plenty of people to give him resources as long as he asks.
Although the pills from the Alchemy Society can earn a lot of points, these points are nothing to Bai Ze.
The cheapest chapter of "Cantongqi" costs a million points, a number that even Bai Ze finds exhausting.
Therefore, Bai Ze plans to continue to cling to powerful figures.
In the early stages, let Mu Yaoguang help you earn points; you can earn them back later.
For martial arts experts, earning points is actually quite easy.
Of course, the expenses are also high.
Both elixirs and cultivation techniques are major sources of points.
Especially cultivation techniques and knowledge, which can be copied infinitely, can earn much more than resources that are difficult to regenerate.
Although the value of cultivation techniques far exceeds that of ordinary resources, what ordinary people consider extraordinary skills may not be so precious to those top-level big shots.
Compared to ordinary cultivation techniques, maintaining the entire Dongxia's points system, which drives numerous martial artists to carry out missions and explore other worlds, is far more important.
Luo Shui was clearly aware of Bai Ze's needs and immediately understood Bai Ze's predicament.
Her eyes darted around, a hint of malice creeping into them, and she said, "Actually, if you want to earn points, there's a way right now."
"Oh? Tell me about it." Bai Ze showed interest.
While it's possible to rely on powerful figures, Bai Ze still prefers to earn points on his own if he can.
It's not that he lacks self-respect; he just feels that this approach is more cost-effective.
"Of course, it's the upcoming competition for Baiyujing," Luo Shui said. "You don't think that the competition for Baiyujing is only something that people from Yujing Martial Arts University care about, do you? Every September, there are betting odds all over the internet, betting on who will ultimately become the master of Baiyujing."
"Besides these, there are various other competitions where betting odds are set up by various parties. Ordinary viewers only see the passion of martial arts competitions, but those big shots are more concerned with the profits behind them."
Bai Ze: "...You've just extinguished the heat in my heart."
Winning a championship in a martial arts competition and making a name for oneself is an exciting thing, just like Bai Ze defending his title in the Youth Cup.
But after hearing what Luo Shui said, it became clear that behind all the passion was self-interest.
No matter what kind of competition it is, it is always related to profit.
Even something as undisclosed as Bai Yujing's competition, a matter for Yujing Martial Arts University students themselves, can be linked to people and interests.
As long as there's enough hype, you can set up betting odds on anything.
Undoubtedly, the competition for Yujing Martial Arts University is incredibly exciting and will attract bettors from all walks of life.
"The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is in turmoil, all for gain. There's nothing to care about."
Luo Shui, however, said rather nonchalantly, then finally put on a malicious smile, "Every September, the Wanyi Gathering sets up betting odds on who will ultimately become the Lord of Baiyujing. Old Bai, do you want to see?"
Bai Ze looked at Luo Shui and finally understood what kind of medicine this guy was selling.
Wan Yi Zhi Ji is the online platform where Yun Yan previously hired a hitman. It claims to be able to trade anything, and is both incredibly powerful and infamous.
Cybersecurity is essential for conducting transactions on such platforms.
Therefore, we still have to rely on the Luo River.
Although Bai Ze felt that his ability to make his words lawful could also achieve something similar:
Luo Shui then raised her slender, fair neck and asked, "Aren't you curious why I brought up the Collection of Ten Thousand Changes?"
It's because, although Wan Yi Zhi Ji is infamous, it is the most stable and secretive organization in the world.
Other betting platforms might experience situations where the bookmaker runs away or the market is wiped out, but Wan Yi Zhi Ji will never do that.
Therefore, Bai Ze could foresee how much capital could be gathered on the Wan Yi Zhi Ji betting platform.
So Bai Ze replied rather calmly, "I'm curious."
