Chapter 621: Planning Benefits for the Family

Bet one to win three?

Bet one to win five?

Hearing the odds for the betting pool set up by Ye Lin, the onlookers were all somewhat bewildered.

Aren't these odds a bit too high? If one bets on both sides, wouldn't that be a guaranteed win?

"Boss, did you make a mistake with these odds? Shouldn't it be 1 to 1. and 1 to 1. ?"

"Yeah, betting one to win three or five—isn't that a losing business?"

"How is this any different from just giving away Immortal Source Stones for free?"

Facing the questioning voices of the onlookers, Ye Lin smiled calmly.

"That's right, you heard correctly: one to three and one to five! I set these odds naturally to liven up the atmosphere, and to thank all you family members for your support of my Yihong Zoo!"

"Family, with a Yihong Zoo this big right here, are you still worried I can't afford to pay up and will run away? Hurry up! Those who are fast will get it, those who are slow will miss out. The two Imperial Princes will be done fighting soon!"

Upon receiving a definitive answer from Ye Lin, many people present had their eyes light up.

Isn't this just giving away Immortal Source Stones for free?

Assuming one bets one thousand low-grade Immortal Source Stones on each side, even if the Third Imperial Prince wins, one could at least win back three thousand low-grade Immortal Source Stones. In this back-and-forth, that's a clear profit of one thousand.

And if the First Imperial Prince wins, one could earn a clear profit of three thousand low-grade Immortal Source Stones. No matter how you calculate this deal, you don't lose!

"I bet three thousand low-grade Immortal Source Stones on the First Imperial Prince to win! And another three thousand on the Third Imperial Prince to win!"

"I'm placing bets too. I'll bet one hundred on each side—oh wait, no, one hundred and fifty medium-grade Immortal Source Stones on each!"

"The bold will feast, the timid will starve. I'm betting everything on the First Imperial Prince to win!"

"I have a deposit slip here from the Rural Credit Cooperative worth three hundred, plus I'll add a bag of urea and a supermarket shopping card. I'm betting my family assets against you!"

In an instant, everyone was betting frantically. After all, it was a guaranteed win, and with so many people present, they weren't afraid of Ye Lin welching. No matter which Imperial Prince won in the end, they wouldn't lose!

"Stop betting, everyone, please stop betting! I, Ye Lin, treat you all as family! This betting pool is a benefit I'm giving back to my family; how can you all fleece me so ruthlessly?"

Ye Lin was so anxious he was almost crying, waving his hands incessantly in an attempt to stop those people from betting.

However, how could they possibly pay any attention to Ye Lin?

Men are just like that; seeing the other party cry, not only will they not feel pity, but they will become even more excited and energized.

Later on, even the guards and young eunuchs brought by the First and Third Imperial Princes couldn't resist starting to place bets.

In a short time, the Immortal Source Stones accumulated in the betting pool had reached a staggering amount. Even with Ye Lin's current net worth, paying it out would be a bone-breaking blow.

Many people even bet their entire net worth, hoping to make a killing from this betting pool. After all, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is not easy to come by.

Watching the crazy appearance of the crowd, Liu Ruyian and the others also felt a chill down their spines.

"Ye Lin, hurry up and stop the betting pool. If this continues, our Yihong Zoo might go bankrupt!" Qiu Weizhi said anxiously.

"Ye Lin, I have forty million low-grade Immortal Source Stones here. If it's not enough to pay out when the betting pool settles, you can take them to use first," Kui Yan said with a serious face.

Liu Ruyian, however, looked at Ye Lin with some suspicion.

She truly didn't believe that this guy, who even charged her Immortal Source Stones to absorb her Yang energy, would be so kind-hearted...

"No need to say more, my mind is made up!"

Ye Lin's gaze was incomparably firm.

"Since I have decided to give back to my family, this benefit cannot stop!"

"Even if I have to smash the pots and sell the iron, I, Ye Lin, will continue to distribute benefits to my family! I absolutely cannot let my family down! The betting pool continues, and I welcome my family to keep betting!"

These words made everyone present feel warm inside.

"Boss, it's not that we don't want to bet, it's that we really don't have any more Immortal Source Stones," said a middle-aged man with a crew cut wearing a camouflage jacket in the crowd.

"Bet. I will provide the Immortal Source Stones for the bets."

Ye Lin spoke in a deep voice, then reached out his hand toward the man with the crew cut.

"Brother, give me your storage ring."

After Ye Lin took the storage ring from the man with the crew cut, he began a series of operations, then handed the storage ring back to him.

The man with the crew cut was instantly stunned, his eyes wide, and his expression full of disbelief.

"Fifteen thousand? Where did this come from?" the man with the crew cut couldn't help but ask.

"This is your reserve of Immortal Source Stones here with me, Ye Lin. Take them whenever you need!"

Ye Lin revealed a gentle and refined smile.

"The betting pool continues! Family members without Immortal Source Stones can make a Dao oath and write an IOU; I, Ye Lin, will lend them to you! And I won't charge any interest!"

Ye Lin's voice was deafening. The crowd was stunned for a moment, and then the group instantly boiled over like a pot of oil with cold water added to it.

Lending them Immortal Source Stones, and letting them use the borrowed stones to place a bet on a guaranteed win?

Isn't this just giving away Immortal Source Stones for free? Is there such a good thing in the world?

Just then, Qiu Weizhi immediately rushed out, covered Ye Lin's mouth, and scolded him sternly.

"Are you crazy? Do you really want to ruin the Yihong Zoo? If you do this, everyone will be left with nothing to eat, do you know that?"

Qiu Weizhi was so agitated his face and neck were red. They were already going to lose their shirts, and with Ye Lin pulling this stunt of lending out Immortal Source Stones, ten Yihong Zoos wouldn't be enough to pay the debts.

"Kui Yan, Zhen Youqian, drag Qiu Weizhi away for me! Today, no one is allowed to stop me from giving benefits to my family!" Ye Lin roared, equally agitated.

Kui Yan and the little fatty didn't hesitate at all and immediately took hold of Qiu Weizhi.

Qiu Weizhi was so anxious he was about to cry, his voice choking up.

"You can't lend them! You can't! If you lend out so many Immortal Source Stones and let them continue to bet on that pool, we're all finished!"

"Shut up! Family is the most important thing!"

Ye Lin waved his hand and had people drag Qiu Weizhi away.

This scene caused the already restless crowd to riot again. Didn't you see the Yihong Zoo having an internal conflict? Could this be fake?

"I'll borrow! I'll borrow three hundred medium-grade Immortal Source Stones! I am willing to take a Dao oath: if I borrow and don't pay back, may I be struck by lightning!"

"I'll borrow five hundred!"

"I'll borrow one thousand!"

The scene was clamorous, with everyone scrambling to find Ye Lin to collect their reserve Immortal Source Stones.

Ye Lin was busy and overwhelmed, even finding dozens of transformed demon beasts to help distribute the Immortal Source Stones.

The amount of reserve Immortal Source Stones each cultivator could receive was different.

For example, a cultivator at the early stage of the Pulse Condensation Realm who could earn three thousand low-grade Immortal Source Stones a month would have a limit of 1, 62, 00 low-grade Immortal Source Stones.

A mid-stage Pulse Condensation cultivator who could earn five thousand a month would have a limit of 1, 82, 00 low-grade Immortal Source Stones.

Subtracting fifty from the monthly income, then multiplying by 12 and by 30, was the amount of Immortal Source Stones the cultivators could receive from Ye Lin.

After swearing the Dao oath and receiving the Immortal Source Stones, these cultivators couldn't wait to start placing their bets.

Ye Lin showed a gratified smile, looked around, and asked gently.

"Are there any family members who haven't received this wave of benefits? Those who haven't, come and get them quickly!"
