Chapter 320: Jiang Baobao, Do You Dare to Bet?

~7 min read 1,280 words

"It's Star."

Someone in the crowd let out a soft exclamation!

Jiang Baobao looked at her own Team's logo on the big screen, frowned slightly, and said nothing, staring fixedly at the column displaying the opponents, where the icons of various teams were constantly flickering.

A few seconds later, the icons stopped once more.

This time, it was a black flame with a red shadow.

"No way? They really ended up facing each other again..." A small commotion erupted in the crowd again, and everyone's eyes immediately darted back and forth between Jiang Baobao and Shen Yi.

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment, and she secretly snorted in her heart.

To think they would be such bitter enemies... to actually meet in the preliminary round...

Since the Shadow Team had already lost once, she wouldn't mind letting them lose a second time!

Neither Jiang Baobao nor Shen Yi spoke, watching the screen in silence until all the draws were finished.

The staff member turned off the screen, turned to face everyone, and said with a smile, "Alright, the opponents for this competition have all been determined. We will announce the list on our official account later; everyone can go back and prepare."

The previously quiet room instantly boiled over.

Almost everyone saw their upcoming opponents for the first time and began exchanging polite pleasantries.

Jiang Baobao, however, had no intention of paying attention to Shen Yi; she picked up her bag and prepared to leave.

The next second, she heard someone call out from behind: "Lisa, wait a moment."

Jiang Baobao's footsteps paused. Hearing that it was Shen Yi's voice, she stopped casually and turned around to look at him with an expressionless face.

Immediately after, she heard the other party say: "Since we're matched up, how about we bet on something?"

"What do you want to bet?" Jiang Baobao curled her lips and immediately asked back, unhurried.

Shen Yi was stunned upon hearing this, taken aback for a moment that she would actually agree.

The people around them immediately revealed looks of anticipation, as if watching a show.

A flash of annoyance crossed Shen Yi's eyes, and he continued: "I heard your account has quite a few good things and is one of the few top-tier accounts in the game. If Star loses this time, you delete your account. Do you dare?"

As soon as Shen Yi finished speaking, someone in the crowd immediately exclaimed in a low voice: "That's way too high stakes!"

Hearing this, the crowd nodded in agreement, looking at Shen Yi and Jiang Baobao with disbelief.

The reason *Dream Island* had been able to maintain such high popularity in recent years was because of certain mechanics that constantly attracted players.

Although the game did not force players to spend money, if one didn't invest in themselves, they would naturally fall far behind others.

The more money spent, the more one's strength would naturally leave others far behind, but if one's gaming technique was poor, they still wouldn't be very strong.

The players of the major teams were the very few who possessed both talent and financial resources.

As for Jiang Baobao's account, besides the top-tier equipment crafted at a high cost, it also contained rewards and special items that could only be obtained through pure luck, as well as many out-of-print trinkets and rare treasures stumbled upon by chance.

If an ordinary person wanted to buy such an account, they wouldn't even dare to think about it without spending hundreds of thousands.

And now, Shen Yi actually wanted to use Jiang Baobao's account as a wager?

The people from the other teams looked at each other, hesitating for a moment whether to intervene, but they couldn't help but want to watch the spectacle and hear how Jiang Baobao would respond.

If she agreed, Shadow was, after all, the strongest in the country before Star returned.

It was hard to say who would win and who would lose.

If she didn't agree, wouldn't that mean losing morale right now?

Finally, someone in the crowd couldn't help but advise: "Boss Shen, why be so hard on Lisa? Either way, the two of you will meet on the field, and Lisa is the only woman among us men..."

"Hasn't Big Boss Shen already lost to this woman once?"

Jiang Baobao smiled and took over the conversation, successfully drawing the fire.

The person who had just spoken up was stunned, looking at Jiang Baobao with some surprise.

The others also revealed slightly excited expressions.

It seemed Lisa was prepared to accept the challenge!

Jiang Baobao looked at Shen Yi unhurriedly, then said with a tone of contempt: "I can bet with you, but... Boss Shen's wager must be equal. If you lose, do you have any high-level account to delete? Or are you planning to use one of your players' accounts to bet against me?"

Shen Yi's expression stiffened upon hearing this.

It was true that he had his own account.

But compared to the account in Jiang Baobao's hands, it was simply worthless.

Seeing him unable to speak, Jiang Baobao gave a disdainful chuckle and took the initiative to propose: "Since the wagers aren't equal, how about we change to an equal one?"

"What wager?" Shen Yi asked back subconsciously.

A dark glint flashed in Jiang Baobao's eyes as she said, word by word: "The loser must voluntarily apply to the association to withdraw their qualification for all competitions this year. Do you dare?"

"Are you crazy!"

Shen Yi's eyes widened sharply, and the others around them also instantly revealed expressions of shock.

Jiang Baobao did not show any fear, saying calmly: "I just have a lot of confidence in my team and know they absolutely won't lose. It seems... Boss Shen doesn't dare to bet with me."

"I..." Shen Yi subconsciously wanted to retort, but after saying only one word, he couldn't continue.

Some things could not be done impulsively.

He certainly could not use the entire team as a wager.

Jiang Baobao looked at Shen Yi with even more contempt.

"If you don't dare, I advise Boss Shen not to ask me for bets in the future. It's quite embarrassing for you if every time it just ends up being nothing."

Jiang Baobao left behind this final sentence and turned to leave without looking back, though she couldn't help but curl her lips slightly.

Hmph, that coward Shen Yi!

I knew he wouldn't dare to agree!

Outside the door—

Li Beijue had already been waiting at the entrance with the two little ones for a long time, checking his watch incessantly.

Because Tiantian was injured and recuperating at home, she did not come along.

"Daddy, the drawing of lots is very fast! It will be over in half an hour at most! Mommy will come out very soon!"

Seeing that Li Beijue kept paying attention to the time, Mobai spoke up loudly to remind him.

Just as the voice fell, Jiang Baobao was seen walking out from inside first.

"Mommy!"

Mobai and Yanbao immediately waved at Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao had originally been looking down at her phone, but upon hearing the sound, she hurriedly lifted her head abruptly.

"Yanbao? Mobai? Why are you here?"

Jiang Baobao walked over quickly, then subconsciously glanced at Li Beijue, who was holding flowers behind the two little ones.

"This is... for you. How was the result of the drawing?"

Li Beijue asked, hurriedly handing over the flowers in his hand.

Jiang Baobao took them subconsciously and was suddenly caught between laughter and tears.

Here he goes again!

Even among ordinary friends, one wouldn't always be giving flowers, right?
