Chapter 80: Chapter 80: The Bet
Translator: 549690339
At this moment, the expressions of the people in the Gale Martial Arts Hall were varied.
Some were shocked, some were happy, some couldn’t believe it, and some were disdainful.
Lin Zhen walked in with a smile, seeing the somewhat fawning Zhao Liang and couldn’t help but laugh.
As he entered the hall, Meng Dong was the first to run over.
“Damn! Lin, you finally came back. I was butchered this time, I don’t care, with our friendship, you have to help me regain my reputation. Beat that Russian bear brutally, I want his mother not to recognize him!”
Lin Zhen patted Meng Dong’s shoulder: “Looking at you, you seem to be bouncing around, not too seriously injured!”
“Me, not seriously injured? My whole body hurts… But looking at the other two on the stage, I’m really not that bad.”
Lin Zhen’s gaze fell on Fu Chengya and Shen Yuhua.
Both were injured, especially Shen Yuhua, who was hurt quite badly. However, they only suffered some external injuries and were still conscious. The two were glaring at Lin Zhen.
If it were any other day, Lin Zhen might go and tease them, but not today. At this critical moment, Lin Zhen still had too many important things to do.
He quickly walked up to Dongfang Jun and Lu Ming, and bowed slightly: “Hall
Master, Mayor Lu, I was held up by some matters and came back a bit late.”
Dongfang Jun nodded slightly, but his expression wasn’t very happy. He said to Lin Zhen: “You may not know yet that Ivan from the other side is a natural Divine Speedster. He hasn’t made a move yet and managed to deceive all of us.
If you choose to compete, you have to defeat three opponents in a row to win. In my opinion, it’s better not to fight.”
Lin Zhen’s gaze fell on Lu Ming: “Is that also Mayor Lu’s opinion?”
He knew that Dongfang Jun said this for his own good, but at this time, Lin Zhen really didn’t need Dongfang Jun to be so considerate. He needed someone to step up and let him take the stage, and Lu Ming was undoubtedly the best candidate.
As expected, Lu Ming said angrily: “Lin Zhen, are you confident in defeating these three Russians? I have to tell you, today both Ice City’s and Hua Xia’s faces will be lost. I, Lu Ming, can’t bear this. If you have the ability, take the stage now. Defeat the three foreigners and I’ll give you whatever you want as long as it’s in my mayoral power! ”
Lin Zhen smiled slightly: “Is Mayor Lu really serious about this?”
“Humph! You should have heard that, although I, Lu Ming, am only a mayor, I am also a Level Eight War God. I have never failed to keep a promise!”
“That’s great. If I win, and want to trade some meteorites with the Department of Technology, that’s not too excessive, is it?”
“Wha… What did you say?” Lu Ming looked at Lin Zhen in disbelief, and
Dongfang Jun was also stunned, thinking Lin Zhen dared to ask for too many conditions.
Lin Zhen laughed: “Mayor Lu, you heard right. Many martial artists know that although meteorites are banned, some privileged people can still trade them. For example, some important figures in the War God Alliance, some who have made outstanding contributions, and some high-level Spiritual Mind Masters all have trading rights. If I can defeat these three Russians today, at least I can save some face for Ice City and Hua Xia. It can be considered a contribution, right? And I would still pay as usual, Mayor Lu doesn’t have to be so surprised.” Lu Ming was silent for a while, then looked up and down at Lin Zhen: “If you really want meteorite trading rights, I do have the power to grant them to you.
“Alright.” Lin Zhen agreed without hesitation.
“Don’t be so hasty in agreeing. If you can’t do it, I’m sorry Lin Zhen, but you will become a national sinner. There will be no place for you in Ice City Base City. As the mayor, I will send a message to other Base Cities not to accept you, and you can only wander into the Wilderness Area. Think carefully.”
At this time, Lu Ming’s authority was fully displayed. He was a Level Eight War God himself, and as the mayor of Ice City, no one dared to be disrespectful in front of him.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhen still nodded without hesitation: “Since I’ve made this choice, I can take responsibility. Mayor Lu, please prepare the document allowing me to trade meteorites!”
“Alright!”
Lu Ming excitedly clapped his hands and laughed, “East, your martial arts hall does have some talented people. This young man is very good, daring to do and bear responsibility. I like this character. Go ahead, Lin Zhen, I’m looking forward to your performance. Don’t disappoint me.”
Lin Zhen nodded his head and then asked Dongfang Jun, “Hall Master, I remember you said that if someone defeats a Russian, they can choose any item in the martial arts hall store, right?”
Dongfang Jun nodded, “That’s right, I did say that if you defeat these three
Russians, you can choose freely three times.”
“Then I have one request. I don’t want anything from the martial arts hall store. Can the hall master exchange these three rewards for one thing?”
“What thing?”
“Five kilograms of liquid metal!” Lin Zhen made a big demand.
Dongfang Jun’s smiling face changed instantly, and he stared at Lin Zhen angrily, “Lin Zhen, do you know what you’re talking about? Do you know the value of five kilograms of liquid metal? That’s one billion, not one hundred thousand!”
“Hall Master, didn’t you just sign a contract with Blue Sky’s hall master? If we lose, these twenty-five billion will not be ours, but if they fall into my hands, isn’t that much better than losing to outsiders?”
“No, no, it’s too expensive! I can’t agree!” Dongfang Jun refused.
Lin Zhen’s face also tightened, “Fine, then I want the latest spacecraft developed by the technology department, a top-of-the-line one, with all the formalities complete. Each plane must also be equipped with ten crew members and sixteen flight attendants, who must be beautiful virgins with a height of at least 1.7 meters. I want three planes in total, all filled with fuel and fitted with missile launchers and rail cannons. All maintenance costs, as well as staff salaries and insurance, will be borne by the martial arts hall….”
“Lin Zhen, I swear if you keep talking, I’ll crush you to death! Fine, liquid metal it is. Hurry up and get on stage. If you lose, you’ll see what happens!” Dongfang Jun felt like he couldn’t suppress his anger anymore, his fingers cracking with the force of his grip. If there weren’t so many people around, including reporters, he would definitely teach Lin Zhen a lesson.
Virgins… for your use!
Rail cannons, what are you going to do with them on a spacecraft?
By Lin Zhen’s calculations, this would cost at least thirty to fifty billion.
Having settled the matter with Dongfang Jun, Lin Zhen happily prepared to get on stage. The rewards this time were huge – liquid metal, which could be transformed into any weapon, was a coveted item for Spiritual Mind Masters. Lin Zhen had been salivating over it for a long time, and without this opportunity, he didn’t know when it would be in his grasp.
The right to trade in meteorites was even more exciting for Lin Zhen universal in every base city, these meteorites were sources of infinite wealth and power. Lin Zhen could rely on his experience to purchase some good meteorites without having to search far and wide in the wilderness.
As Lin Zhen happily prepared to get on stage, Yang Jianying muttered sarcasticallv. “I’ve never seen such a fool before. You’re reioicing over something that’ll never belong to you. What’s there to be happy about?”
“Hall Master Yang, it seems you have a problem with me?” Lin Zhen asked, stopping.
Yang Jianying looked at Lin Zhen with contempt, “What does it matter if I have a problem with you?”
“From what Hall Master Yang just said, it seems I have no chance of winning.
In that case, are you willing to bet with me?”
“That’s right, I’m saying exactly that. But, boy, don’t try to play mind games with me. I’m not going to make a bet until I know your full hand. Besides, I don’t think you have anything that would interest me.”
“Really? Hall Master Yang, have you seen something like this?”
As he spoke, Lin Zhen took out a dark energy stone from his space ring, showed it to Yang Jianying and quickly put it back in without Dongfang Jun and Lu Ming seeing it.
As expected, Yang Jianying’s eyes lit up when he saw the dark energy stone, just like a hungry wolf in the wilderness spotting meat..
