MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter-Chapter 439 - : Gambling Bet

Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Gambling Bet

Li Yao nodded to show that he understood the rules and rewards, but in reality, he was as calm as an ancient well. Back then, during the great battle with the Illusion God, he controlled hundreds of Exploding Sheep, controlling two was too easy for him.

The reason he didn’t score perfect marks in the previous stage was not because he lacked strength, but because he didn’t know enough about wolves.

Take Rexxar, one of the most powerful Beastmaster Hunters in The Ancient God World, for example. He has both Ogre and Orc bloodlines and was raised by beasts as a child.

As a child, he was a humanoid beast and knew all sorts of beasts like the back of his hand. Obviously, Li Yao could not compare himself to Rexxar. It wasn’t difficult for him to win a duel against a Demon Wolf Leader with another Demon Wolf Leader, but to emerge unscathed was nearly impossible.

Did he have to spend decades mingling with various beasts just for this evaluation? That was ridiculous. So Li Yao gave up on striving for a perfect score. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Other than the freak Rexxar, no one else had ever scored perfect marks. Of course, it could be that Rexxar didn’t score full marks either, as his archery might not have been as precise as Li Yao’s during his second stage of cultivation.

These were just his speculations. After all, Rexxar was a world-level chief hunter now, full of legendary colors. At present, the players’ levels were too low to get involved in his missions, but he was undoubtedly a prominent figure among the NPCs.

Just as Eileen was about to transport Li Yao, her expression changed abruptly, and she said, “Wait a moment.”

Li Yao asked in confusion, “What’s the matter?”

Eileen replied, “Those bosses have suddenly gone crazy. They have heard about your high evaluation and decided to come and watch your next trial without even holding a meeting.”

“You’re right, they are indeed idle. They should have spent the time discussing how to deal with the centaurs and how to divide the territory. Why do they want to join in on this minor matter of mine?” Li Yao was also shocked by this news.

“Who knows what they’re thinking? You didn’t stir up any trouble and attract their attention, did you? But that’s not possible…you’re too weak…” Eileen was utterly baffled.

Before Eileen could finish her sentence, the leaders of the three factions had teleported over.

The Chieftain walked up to Li Yao, patted his shoulder, and said, “I didn’t expect the fastest one to advance to the second stage would be you. And you have even received the mark of the Beast God. Perhaps you will be another Rexxar in the future. Work hard, young man. This world is full of crises. I hope that one day you will truly be able to fight alongside us.”

Li Yao saluted and replied, “I am flattered by your high regard, Chief. But I assure you, I will try my best not to let you down.”

Being in front of representatives from all three factions, Li Yao naturally had to put on a good show. The Queen didn’t say anything, as if it was none of her business, but a glint of pride flashed in her eyes. After all, Li Yao was her successor. His current fame and status certainly made her very proud. She had always been an ambitious person who never settled for less. So of course, she didn’t want her successor to be just another ordinary person.

The Archangel also came over and said, “Well done, young man. Keep up the effort. Come and find me when you have time, especially if you want to assemble the Angel’s Wing.”

Li Yao nodded and replied, “I will certainly seek your guidance, Archangel, as soon as I can.”

With those words, the Archangel then stepped back, saying, “I look forward to it. As much as I don’t need the Angel’s Wing anymore, I still hope it will find a worthy new owner. You would be a good fit.”

“Young man, you sure know how to play. You even dared to cause a disturbance in our territory. You aren’t simple at all.” The leader of the Light Faction patted Li Yao’s shoulder as well.

“I had to, in order to increase my strength. I hope you understand.” Li Yao replied with neither arrogance nor humility. He then gave a customary salutation, showing his respect for the strong.

“I don’t mind. But my head craftsman isn’t very happy.” The King laughed heartily.

The head craftsman was the supreme leader of the Gnome Clan. He too commanded a Battle Puppet, which emitted a dark golden glow, indicating that it was of superior quality.

“Kid, you’re strong and rather decent. You didn’t harm my clan. At least you allowed us to copy the information from the chip. Killing the clone of the Ancient God was your achievement, which has nothing to do with us. In a strict sense, you have even helped us get rid of a potential threat.” The head craftsman stated in his shrill voice.

“You talk too much. Since you’re not holding grudges, why do you need to say all that?” The Queen remarked coldly.

“You’re indeed as hot-tempered as ever. I’m just curious how he knows so much about our clan’s affairs. Don’t tell me you taught him everything. You couldn’t have deceived so many clan members.” The head craftsman asked curiously.

The Queen snorted and said, “Why hide it? There’s no need. Tell him.”

Li Yao nodded and replied, “I read it in a book. You can find everything in books.”

Everyone appeared dissatisfied with this answer but seeing the certainty on Li Yao’s face, they didn’t ask any further.

“That’s enough from all of you. Please don’t delay the trial.” Although Eileen was just a humble beginner’s guide, she showed no fear.

Everyone nodded at her and then stepped back.

“Archangel, how about you be the witness as we make a bet?” The King proposed suddenly.

The Chieftain frowned and asked, “What do you want to bet on?”

“It’s simple. We have two ongoing disputes, right? We have been at a stalemate. Why don’t we use this young man’s trial as a bet? Whoever wins will get the territory of the Fire Hoof Tribe.” The King proposed.

“And how do we bet? Guess whether or not he can pass the first trial?” The Chieftain frowned.

“You must be joking. With the blessing of the Beast God, how could he possibly fail the second trial? What I’m suggesting is that we set nine points as the limit. We bet that he won’t score nine points or more.” The King explained.

The Chieftain turned to look at the Queen, who said to Li Yao, “If you can’t score nine points or higher, don’t expect to receive future inheritances.”

Li Yao felt like vomiting blood. ‘Damn it! Why must their bet involve me? Who knows what kind of trial I’ll get? If it’s something I’m not familiar with, and I fail to score nine points, I’ll be devastated.’

Seeing Li Yao’s expression, the Chieftain said, “Don’t feel pressured by our bet. It has nothing to do with you. All you need to do is focus on your trial. Of course, if you help us win, there will be benefits for you. That’s my promise. You won’t be disappointed.”

Upon hearing the Chief’s words, Li Yao instantly felt as if the clouds had parted and the sun had come out. He quickly replied, “I will give it my all.”

In fact, he was overjoyed inside. The promise of the Chieftain was priceless.

“So, you’ve agreed to the bet?” The King asked with a smile.

“Yes, I’ll take the bet.” The Chieftain nodded.

“You guys, sigh. But perhaps it’s better this way, to resolve conflicts peacefully.” The head Archangel said helplessly, always the pacifist.

“Very well. It has been a long time since a genius like you came along who could score nine points in the first attempt at the second stage. You have received the blessing of the Beast God, but your spiritual power might not be as strong. It seems like we’ve got this bet in the bag.” As Li Yao was teleported to the Trial Ground, the King looked at him and started laughing out loud…
