RPAGF Chapter 14 Our family is going to be rich!
Chapter 14 Our family is going to be rich!
Walking along the school path, Lin Wu logged into the website displayed on the announcement.
Immediately afterwards, a black screen appeared in front of him, displaying the message: Please enter your username.
"Shine my shoes."
Lin Wu casually entered a name, and a registration success message popped up, along with an introduction to the Green Branch Underground Arena Tournament.
He glanced through it and understood.
"These underground arena tournaments are very popular in the Western Empire, and they've even become a system. The Green Branch Underground Arena Tournament is one of the largest of them."
"It's even divided into many different levels of competition. There are apprentice, professional, and even master groups!"
Above professional beast tamers, one is called a master.
The Green Branch Underground Arena Tournament seems to be quite prestigious.
"In this way, information security is quite well protected."
Lin Wu thought to himself. According to the official website, this website is completely anonymous and the IP address is hidden.
"The match starts tomorrow. Let's do some preparations today."
Thinking of this, Lin Wu let out a breath, turned off her phone, listened to the preparatory bell ringing in the distance, and walked back to the teaching building.
The following lessons were rather uninteresting.
The classes after returning to school on Sunday weren't very demanding. Classes like Pokémon theory and Pokémon ecology, while contributing to the college entrance exam, weren't a major part of the curriculum.
After going through the textbook twice and finding that the test points were not difficult, Lin Wu slacked off and played the psychedelic insect game the whole time.
I almost polished the psychedelic bugs until they had a patina.
As soon as get out of class ended, Lin Wu immediately picked up the hallucinogenic insect and rushed into the residential area. After a hurried dinner, she jumped into the sewer again.
And so, they stayed in the sewer for nearly four more hours.
After secretly searching through countless ghost rat nests, Lin Wu finally emerged from the sewer, covered in dust and carrying the hallucinogenic insect.
With a look of joy at the harvest on its face, unfortunately, the hallucinogenic insect seemed to be on its last legs.
So, after a long round of reassurance, saying things like "I'll buy you delicious food when I earn money tomorrow," "We'll have money soon," and "We'll get through the hard times in a couple of days; the good times are yet to come," it was only after all that that a glimmer of hope appeared in the eyes of the hallucinogenic insect.
Lin Wu felt a little guilty after telling him, so she thought about it that night and decided to order an extra pack of special mulberry leaves for the hallucinogenic insects.
However, the harvest was gratifying. After bombarding Bai Miaomiao with text messages, Lin Wu sold her another Ghost Pearl, bringing her total income to eight thousand yuan, including miscellaneous items. This time, she directly requested a bank transfer, as this eight thousand yuan would be her starting capital for tomorrow.
Bicycles can be transformed into motorcycles, starting tomorrow!
And so, time circled back to the next day. After four hours of sleep, Lin Wu got on his bike and rode towards Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School.
Finally, I sat down at my desk and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is there something good happening today? You seem very happy."
Looking at Lin Wu's appearance, Zhou Tong asked out of curiosity.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. The hallucinogen told me a joke on the way here."
Lin Wu answered casually, leaving Zhou Tong and the hallucinogenic insect both puzzled.
Tell a joke? A hallucinogenic insect? For you?
"babble?"
The hallucinogenic insect raised its forelegs and cried out, but Lin Wu gently pressed it down. At that moment, the school bell rang.
The first class in the morning was Elf Theory. Zhou Tong turned around and his gaze was naturally drawn to the beautiful young female teacher on the podium wearing black stockings.
Lin Wu didn't even bother to glance at it, instead opening her phone under her desk and pretending to be asleep, her eyes full of disdain.
Women are nothing compared to making money.
I'm a man destined to be a champion; women are just a hindrance.
So, I turned on my phone and logged into the official website of the Green Branch Underground Arena. The previously dark page was now lit up, displaying images of Pokémon battles.
"It's already started?"
For a moment, Lin Wu was slightly surprised and glanced at the schedule.
The first match is currently underway, with pre-match preparations and betting taking place. Betting will close in ten minutes. Startled, Lin Wu quickly switched to check on both teams.
The morning was the professional tournament, and you could mostly see advanced-level Pokémon.
Advanced is a level above basic, usually reached after a Pokémon has mastered its first evolutionary sequence, meaning it has evolved once. Generally speaking, an advanced Pokémon is standard equipment for a professional Beastmaster.
Numerous bullet comments are flashing across the screen at this moment.
Everyone's betting on the antelope; the odds are about to explode!
[Fuck you, what kind of trash is this antelope?]
If I remember correctly, the Armor-Breaking Rhino made it to the quarterfinals last time.
"The first match is between the Armored Rhinoceros and the Rock Antelope? They're both Earth-type, so there's not much difference in their attributes."
Lin Wu looked at the Pokémon and the barrage of comments from both sides, went out to check, and pondered for a moment.
The beast tamer of the Armored Rhinoceros was among the top eight in the previous competition, while the beast tamer of the Rock Antelope was eliminated in the top thirty-two.
There wasn't much luck involved, and since both sides were of the same attribute, there was no specific targeting, so everyone bet on the Armor-Breaking Rhino.
The odds for the antelope have reached an absurd 1 to 2.7.
However, Lin Wu's gaze as he looked into the void became increasingly strange.
[Balance Adjustments: Continuing from last week's changes, the speed of the Armor-Piercing Rhino has been further reduced.]
[Balance Adjustment: Due to the death of the leader of the corresponding group of the Armored Rhinoceros, the Armored Rhinoceros's racial skill "Iron Crack" has lost its guaranteed hit ability.]
Correspondingly, since the new leader of the species is a Rock-type Antelope, its racial skill "Rock Climb" will be strengthened, reducing resource consumption and increasing speed. This applies to Pokémon such as Rock Golem and Earth Golem...
For a moment, Lin Wu's expression became somewhat strange.
The Armor-Breaking Rhino has been nerfed twice, and every hit is fatal, while the Rock Antelope has been buffed up significantly!
The strengthening and weakening of these two are even related, and Lin Wu suspects that the organizers deliberately put these two groups together.
Is it the big players profiting from retail investors? Or is there some other reason?
However, judging from the comments, it's clear that most people are unaware of this balance adjustment.
So, what does all this have to do with Lin Wu?
A joyful smile gradually spread across his face.
Harvesting韭菜 (a metaphor for exploiting others)? Count me in!
So, while the barrage of comments continued, Lin Wu waited patiently until the countdown was about to end, then quickly placed his bet!
Angora, bet four thousand.
It caused almost no ripples; a mere four thousand was nothing more than a small splash in this enormous gamble.
Amidst the scrolling comments, Lin Wu leisurely picked up his phone, watching the match content with amusement as he scanned the comments.
Sigh, another predictable result. You're telling me a chamois can smash an armored rhinoceros with its head?
[If this Shattered Rhino wave goes badly, I'll eat the screen! I bet 120,000!]
Wow! Beautiful Iron Cleave! This is the racial skill of the Armored Rhinoceros. It's really worth every penny!
[After taking a hit from the Iron Splitter, the Rock Antelope is probably doomed.]
[Huh? How come he's not dead? Is Lie Tie this weak now?]
Holy crap, how can that antelope run so fast?
Did that Iron Smash do any damage? I don't think the Rock Antelope was injured.
Don't worry, it's just a technical adjustment. They're just holding on. The Armored Rhino won't lose!
[FK technical adjustment! Where's the Cracked Iron? Where's the Cracked Iron? How can the Cracked Iron be empty?!]
【? ? ? 】
【WTF? How can rock climbing injuries be so high?】
[It was...done in seconds?]
[Damn it, my money!!!]
On the live stream, the antelope circled the sidelines, looking for an opportunity and deftly dodging all attacks.
Suddenly, it seemed to find an opportunity, leaping into the air and plummeting vertically as if climbing.
The dust settled in the next instant.
The armored rhinoceros lay sprawled on the ground, leaving only the elegant chamois standing tall.
In the first match of the Green Branch Underground Arena, the Rock Antelope emerged victorious.
Immediately, the live chat was filled with the wails of gamblers and their furious howls.
Lin Wu, on the other hand, simply flicked open his water glass, took a sip, and looked at the list of players for the next match.
Then, seeing the notification of receiving over 10,000 yuan pop up on the top of his phone, a pleased smile appeared on his lips, and he couldn't help but rub the psychedelic insect a couple of times.
"babble?"
The hallucinogenic insect looked up in confusion, only to see excitement gleaming in Lin Wu's eyes. He picked up the insect, his voice low but filled with barely suppressed joy: "Dingxian You."
He exclaimed joyfully, "Our family is going to be rich!"
