Chapter 256: Chapter 146: Contact from Everyone, Begging to be Carried, Begging to be Led...
The odds for these individuals were even higher...
"Great Xia, The Indomitable, Odds 1:3."
"Great Xia, Taiyi Zhenren, Odds 1:3.5."
"Indian, Vajra Master, Odds 1:3."
"Holy shit! Brother Kaipan, get your ass out here!!"
"What the hell is going on!"
"Why are you running betting pools on foreign sites instead of on our Great Xia Forum??"
"Are you looking down on us??"
News of the wildly popular betting pools in other countries finally made its way back to Great Xia. When everyone saw that no pools had been opened on their own Forum, they all started pinging @Sun Yu. Some people even started chanting slogans, demanding that Sun Yu either pay back his debt immediately or open a betting pool.
Left with no choice, Sun Yu finally opened a betting pool on the Great Xia Forum as well. However, his primary focus was on the betting pools in other countries. With his officially verified "Brother Kaipan" ID, he easily gained people’s trust. Setting up the pools in other countries went off without a hitch. He was even cunning enough to make the bet all about guessing the champion.
He had absolute confidence in his big bro, Shen Fei. In Sun Yu’s mind, as long as Brother Fei participated, he was absolutely Invincible. Therefore, his betting pool this time was simple and brutal, with just one option—bet on the champion! Moreover, he was sneaky enough to leave his big bro "Skyrocketing’s" name off the list of choices.
Anyway, he wasn’t about to give them a single chance to win! He felt completely justified in taking money from foreigners!
TAP! TAP! TAP!
His heart pounding with excitement, Sun Yu, who was shouldering a debt of 30 million Credit Points, worked in a frenzy. This time, he wasn’t just planning to pay off his debt. He had another goal: to amass a huge fortune.
—To build the most powerful financial Empire!
BEEP BEEP BEEP!
BEEP BEEP BEEP!
As Sun Yu hurried away chasing his dreams of a fortune, Shen Fei, who was left standing there, hadn’t even had a chance to react. His phone, messages, Divine Artifact, and even his private messages on the Forum all started going off at once.
He looked down and saw that countless people had sent him communication requests. People from Qing City, the Tourism Management Office, the Divine Capital, Songhai, Hang City, Myanmar... Anyone who knew Shen Fei or was aware of his strength thought of him immediately. A huge crowd of people, all with their own agendas, were trying to call him.
"Brother!!"
"Brother!!!"
Before Shen Fei could decide whether to answer, or whose call to take first, his sister Shen Yue and Xiaohong returned. Li Xiaohong had just gotten a small taste of something good from Shen Fei before Shen Yue had dragged her away. The two of them hadn’t expected that before they got far, their personal panels would automatically open.
The Version 4.4 update was rolled out. Then, the announcement for the mandatory Secret Realm scrolled into view.
Just like everyone else who instinctively saw Shen Fei as their pillar of support and had instantly sent him communication requests, Shen Yue and Xiaohong immediately turned around and ran back to Shen Fei the moment they saw the Secret Realm announcement. They were instinctively attached to him, wanting to ask for his advice and opinion.
"We’re going!"
"The whole family is going!!"
Seeing Shen Yue and Xiaohong running over, their faces a mixture of panic and excitement, Shen Fei knew what they were going to ask and answered with a decisive nod.
Even though memories would be erased in the Secret Realm, and even though their Combat Power meant they wouldn’t necessarily place high in the rankings, Shen Fei felt that something else was at play. Judging from the massive wall of text in the announcement and knowing the [Rules]’ usual tricks, there was a high probability of a participation prize for everyone. Even if they couldn’t get a top-ten reward, his sister and Xiaohong should at least be able to snag a consolation prize.
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
Seeing Shen Fei’s confident expression, Xiaohong and Shen Yue nodded their heads eagerly. They could tell that Shen Fei was going to participate too!
After getting Shen Fei’s answer, Xiaohong, who had something on her mind, suddenly spoke up, "Brother Fei, will the memories of what happens in the Secret Realm really be erased?"
Xiaohong asked about the part of the rules that she was most excited and hopeful about.
"Of course!" Shen Fei answered at once, not doubting it for a second. "Anything that appears in writing on the personal panel will come true! It’s just like the basic rules! So this memory erasure and all the rewards they mentioned—it’s all definitely going to happen!"
"Alright, you two head home first!" Shen Fei said, not giving the two a chance to ask any more questions. "Don’t wander off for the next two days. I’ll be back tonight so we can all talk it over. Mom is participating this time too, so Shen Yue, have her put things at Rice Field Village on hold for a few days!"
"Okay!"
Hearing Shen Fei’s answer, Xiaohong’s eyes lit up. She grabbed Shen Yue, who still wanted to ask more questions, and pulled her away.
The memories will really be erased! Does that mean I can use my Succubus form without holding back? I can even unleash my full Succubus Power on Brother Fei and see how he reacts! I can finally see if Brother Fei actually likes me in my Succubus form...
As she quickly pulled Shen Yue away, Xiaohong’s heart pounded with excitement.
Memory erasure! This is perfect! I can go all out in the Secret Realm, testing my powers in front of him—and *on* him—without having to worry that he might not like my transformed self. I won’t have to worry about a scenario where he doesn’t like it and things become unsalvageable. Although my own memories will be erased afterward, at least for that period in the Secret Realm, I’ll know the result. For that time, at least, I won’t have to be conflicted and worried anymore. I can finally have an answer! That’s so much better than being on the outside, not knowing anything. Even if that clarity in the Secret Realm is only temporary, it’ll be worth it!
