I Can See All The Bosses' Drops-Chapter 118 - 108: Another Gambling Agreement

"Guild Tournament?"

Lin Yi stared at the City Lord of Cyan Dragon City in front of him,

"Is it another bet on who takes first place?"

If that’s the case, Lin Yi planned to give up right away.

Unlike the "Guild Tournament," the previous demon-hunting event was wholly within control.

The "Guild Tournament" isn’t a traditional guild vs. guild direct duel.

Instead, participating guilds select 100 members to compete.

Once the tournament starts, the system will teleport all members, guild by guild, to the outskirts of a specific island.

In the center of the island, there’s a mountain called Heaven-Reaching Peak.

The goal of all guilds is to reach this Heaven-Reaching Peak and obtain the token at the peak to be the final victor.

It seems simple enough, but between the outskirts and the center of the island lies a vast, boundless primeval forest.

The forest not only hides various dangers, but guilds must also guard against sudden attacks from others, a setting full of traps.

To stimulate guild-to-guild combat, the tournament also has killing rewards.

One kill represents a reward of 10 Gold Coins.

The Guild President is worth 100 Gold Coins.

With the current ratio of 1/50, one kill equals 500 Reality Coins.

This reward is enough for some guilds, knowing they can’t win the grand prize, to take risks and focus on hunting other guild members.

Of course, members killed inside not only lose their qualification to compete but also drop one level.

But compared to absolute benefits, the penalty of losing a level is insignificant, especially in the early game when levels aren’t too hard to gain.

Because of this special tournament setup, even large guilds like Shengshi don’t dare claim a definite win for first place.

Asking Lin Yi to predict who will win, honestly, he wasn’t confident to bet right.

In the past events like this, although Shengshi Dynasty won first place the first time, they were out of the running in subsequent events.

After that, teams like Shengshi Dynasty almost always became targets for elimination through collaboration.

Among subsequent events, no guild managed to take first place twice, given the unpredictable elements involved.

The dangers from the guilds themselves were emphasized, yet the forest’s threats are equally formidable.

To claim first in this tournament, strength is crucial, but sometimes, luck is the key determiner of success.

If Babylon was betting on this, Lin Yi planned to back out.

Lin Yi never gambles on luck unless he’s sure.

Even though the 300,000 Gold Coins reward was quite enticing.

But at that moment, Babylon said,

"This time, we’re not betting on who wins first, just on whether you can take first."

"Me?"

Lin Yi incredulously pointed to his nose, puzzled.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Yi couldn’t quite grasp it; was he supposed to join a guild and help win first place?

But then, Babylon said,

"This time, Mercenary Corps can also sign up for the competition."

"Our bet is: I allow you to take nine people to compete, and if you take first place, I lose."

"Besides the competition’s reward, I’ll give you an extra 300,000 Gold Coins."

"Only ten people including me?"

Lin Yi was once again shocked by Babylon’s words,

"Are you joking? Ten people facing guilds with hundreds, and taking first place? Who could do that!"

Understand that the competing guilds aren’t just one or two but dozens or more!

A ten-man squad thrown among them might not even make a splash, let alone take first!

"Without some challenge, I might as well just give you 300,000 Gold Coins directly, why bother with this gamble?" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Babylon gave Lin Yi a look as if he were an idiot,

"The rules are stated; whether to bet with me or not is up to you."

After hearing Babylon’s words, Lin Yi fell into deep thought.

Even though Babylon’s conditions were far-fetched, on deeper thought, he wasn’t entirely without a chance.

I participated in this event twice in past lifetimes, so I have some understanding of the terrain and main threats.

Speaking of numbers:

Fewer means a smaller target, easier to hide.

Besides, I’m not aiming to kill for rewards.

As long as I avoid crowds and head straight for Heaven-Reaching Peak, my chances are decent.

Even if a guild makes it through the perilous forest to the peak, there won’t be many left.

Especially the first time when everyone’s unfamiliar with the setting, my advantage is significant.

If I win, the reward is 300,000 Gold Coins!

Converted to Reality Coins, it’s 15 million!

And, with Reality Coins, acquiring Gold Coins isn’t guaranteed.

In a time when individuals earn only around ten Gold Coins a day, not many are exchanged for Reality Coins; only a few are available.

With those large guilds’ rich patrons snapping them up, individual gains reduce further.

Unless you offer a significantly higher exchange rate.

Lin Yi pondered unlocking the Elf Secret Realm Dungeon and Elf Totem with the Clan Leader Authority if he got the Gold Coin reward.

Lin Yi had always been curious about the use of the Elf Secret Realm Dungeon.

Now there’s only one problem: my Mercenary Corps has only five people, where do I find five more?

Fortunately, with a week before the tournament starts, it’s enough time to find the remaining five.

"Have you decided?"

Babylon asked calmly:

"If you can’t decide soon, I’ll take it as a no."

"One last question,"

Lin Yi suddenly asked, warily watching Babylon:

"If I don’t win, will it be another proposal for your daughter?"

Babylon seemed taken aback, then rolled his eyes,

"You’ve reminded me now."

Hearing this, Lin Yi felt an impending crisis.

"If you lose, initially, I only wanted you to do something within your power."

Lin Yi decisively said: "Okay, I accept!"

"Not so fast!"

Babylon raised an eyebrow,

"Let’s add that you become my son-in-law."

Lin Yi looked at Babylon, torn between laughter and frustration,

"Can I take back my words?"

Unexpectedly, Babylon seemed resolute,

"No bargaining."

Babylon inwardly rejoiced; although he wasn’t the actual party to the bet, he didn’t say he couldn’t up the stakes!

If he was pushed to make this bet with the kid, adding such a small condition shouldn’t be too much, haha.

Lin Yi stood there, feeling like weeping but unable to shed tears,

"Why did I have to bring it up?"

Seeing Lin Yi’s dejected expression, Babylon wasn’t sure whether to be happy or furious.

On one hand, Lin Yi’s expression brought him inexplicable joy.

On the other, it seemed like Lin Yi was disdainful of his daughter, making him wonder if his glee was inappropriate as a father.

Disdain my daughter, do you? Babylon mused, plotting.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi brooded:

"What exactly is that feasible thing?"

"You’ll find out,"

Babylon stopped Lin Yi from asking more:

"It won’t trouble you; I promise."

"If you feel even a bit troubled, just drop it, okay?"

"That good?"

Pfft!

Thinking back, Lin Yi felt like face-palming, why mention his daughter at all?

Babylon asked:

"So does that mean you agree?"

Lin Yi ran through everything in his mind and, finding no loophole, finally said:

"If you don’t cheat, I agree."

"Don’t worry!"

Babylon patted Lin Yi on the shoulder, winking mysteriously:

"I’m currently grounded, even if I wanted to cheat, I can’t!"

Considering his position as the City Lord of Cyan Dragon City, he likely wasn’t tricking him.

Lin Yi ultimately couldn’t resist the allure of 300,000 Gold Coins and decided:

"I’ll bet!"
