Chapter 1236: Chapter 1235: The Sky-High Wager Begins!

"Okay! Our bet is valid, and using all the stalls in Gambling Stone Street as boundaries, we’ll each choose a stone here. Whoever reveals a more valuable item wins." Pi De then announced the rules.

The rules are very simple: each person selects a raw stone, and whoever reveals the more valuable item wins.

If Ye Feng wins, Pi De will have to crawl around Gambling Stone Street ten times like a dog, barking as he goes.

If Ye Feng loses, Pi De wins ten billion Mg Blade.

This is considered a huge, sky-high bet in the outside world.

So, as the news spread, more and more people gathered around to watch the spectacle.

Moreover, to prevent backing out, they both signed a contract, which holds legal effect in case of violation by either party.

There were many witnesses on site, including many big shots from Gambling Stone Street. In everyone’s eyes, no one dared to renege because the street’s prestige and strength were well established.

"Who do you think will win?"

"Do we even need to guess? Although this young man is quite notable, it’s unlikely he can beat Pi De. Pi De is an expert in this field!"

"That’s right! The kid might be cocky, but he’s never lost a gamble. Every raw stone he selects almost always contains a Cultivation Gemstone."

"The kid may be coming from a strong background, but he’s still lacking in expertise in this area. Looks like those ten billion Mg Blade are doomed."

As the gambling battle commenced, the crowd of onlookers started discussing enthusiastically.

Regardless of who it was, it seemed nobody had much faith in Ye Feng; everyone was rooting for Pi De.

Indeed, with Pi De’s prestige on Gambling Stone Street, the reputation he’s built over the years truly inspires confidence in many people.

That’s why countless individuals unsure about their decisions come to Pi De for insight, proving that this fellow does have substantial skills.

"Hey! Mr. Ye, why do you want to bet against him? Though this guy is annoying, he does have certain talents and skills in this field—his raw stones rarely result in busts." Hearing the chatter, Lodovia sighed and asked.

"What does he amount to?" Ye Feng chuckled, completely disregarding Pi De.

Pi De may be arrogant, but Ye Feng intended to crush him in his most proficient domain to make him utterly lose face.

Initially, Ye Feng didn’t plan to stoop to his level, but since the guy was relentlessly pestering him, if he didn’t put him in his place, Pi De’s persistent bothering would become even more of a hassle.

"Alright, the time is set for thirty minutes, starting now." Once everything was ready, Pi De excitedly signaled and began selecting stones.

He knew there were very few valuable raw stones among the stalls on Gambling Stone Street.

So, he hurriedly began choosing, aiming to find a satisfying raw stone before Ye Feng.

As for Ye Feng, he wasn’t anxious at all. Holding his previously chosen raw stone, he just sat down and relaxed.

"Mr. Ye, why aren’t you picking a stone?" Seeing this, Henry asked anxiously.

If Ye Feng lost, Henry would have to cover the loss.

Though he didn’t mind paying for Ye Feng, if Ye Feng intentionally lost that money, he certainly wouldn’t be happy about it.

"I’ve already made my choice! This is the stone I picked." Ye Feng pointed at the stone he’d chosen earlier and answered calmly.

With Ye Feng’s gesture, an ordinary stone resembling a stone stool appeared in view of the crowd.

"What? Mr. Ye, you’re planning to use this stone to bet against him?" Hearing this, Henry was dumbfounded, worried that his ten billion Mg Blade were going down the drain.

"God almighty, is this guy actually that cocky? He plans to use this raw stone to bet against Pi De? Isn’t he outright disregarding Pi De?"

"Just this waste stone? He must be delivery money to Pi De! That’s unbelievably easy money—ten billion Mg Blade just handed over like that?"

"Damn! What a boss! No wonder even Henry and others fear him—the loss of ten billion is just like losing ten bucks!"

"I’m really impressed with the wealth, but his stone gambling skills are truly awful. With a skill set like that, how dare he gamble against Pi De? Who gave him that courage?"

Upon seeing this, everyone was floored and dumbfounded by Ye Feng’s choice to bet with this waste stone against Pi De.

They initially thought Ye Feng must have some skills to dare gamble with Pi De.

But they never imagined Ye Feng would be so unskilled, attempting to win against Pi De with such a worthless stone—it’s completely naive.

"Mr. Ye, are you sure? How about I have someone pick a quality raw stone for you?" Hearing the crowd’s discussion, Henry, worried about Ye Feng losing face, offered to have someone select a high-quality raw stone.

"Yes, Mr. Ye, Pi De does have some skills; don’t be careless!" Even Lodovia couldn’t help but urge anxiously.

Neither she nor Henry and his crew had any faith in Ye Feng’s raw stone.

In their view, this raw stone probably couldn’t even beat anyone, let alone Pi De.

Especially Henry; he felt that betting with this stone meant his ten billion Mg Blade were as good as thrown into the water.

Thus, he discreetly signaled an expert behind him to pick a good original stone for Ye Feng.

"No need, winning against him...this stone is enough." But Ye Feng completely disregarded Pi De, merely laughing coolly.

In his view, dealing with someone like Pi De seriously was unnecessary; it was an easy victory.

"Sigh! This guy is incredibly stubborn! Surely, those ten billion are gone for good."

"Isn’t that so? Those ten billion Mg Blade are as good as vanished. Sigh! Are all rich people so reckless?"

"Damn, such recklessness! Ten billion just gone like that? If they don’t want it, they could give it to me—I’d gladly accept!"

"Seriously in awe, even after bosses advise him, he still won’t listen? That’s too much."

...

Hearing Henry’s words, initially, some found them reasonable; seeing Ye Feng still refusing, left them speechless.

In their view, having such resources and not using them—wasn’t that idiotic?

Moreover, betting with such a poor stone against Pi De, wasn’t Ye Feng just a complete fool?

Suddenly, everyone felt Ye Feng’s ten billion Mg Blade were entirely going down the drain; nobody supported Ye Feng, believing he would definitely lose.

"Idiot!" Even Pi De sneered, considering Ye Feng a complete fool, convinced of his imminent victory.

Originally, he intended to carefully select, but seeing this situation, he decided against being meticulous and chose a roughly satisfactory stone, ready to start the bet with Ye Feng...
