Chapter 438: Making arrangements! Xia Lan the little fan girl!

"The betting pools on the forum only started today.

The duration of the bets varies, but most of them are for over a month.

This is only the first day and there are already over 5 million points. As it goes on, the number of people placing bets will definitely increase."

Xia Lan added softly.

The Thunder Martial Arts Hall's Heaven's Pride Training Camp only has a little over three hundred students, but the other two training camps combined have a full 30,000 people!

They also use points as the common currency. This accumulated 5 million points in bets is just the beginning.

"That's true." Xu Jingming nodded. "What about the odds for winning or losing?"

"There are too many betting pools, I'm not entirely clear on the total ratio."

Xia Lan said with some hesitation, "However, in the largest betting pool, the ratio of bets on us completing the mission versus not completing it is around 1:3.

This pool has accumulated the most points, already reaching nearly 4 million."

"One to three, I feel like this ratio is still a bit too low." Xu Jingming rubbed his chin.

The higher the ratio, the greater the harvest after winning the bet. If there were some way to increase this ratio, that would be great.

"I've got it!"

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up. "During this time, you can first post some news on the forum.

Just say that we encountered an attack as soon as we arrived in Myanmar, everyone is injured, and the investigation has hit a bottleneck."

"Isn't it bad if people support us? Why spread such news?"

Lin Hui looked confused, but Xia Lan on the side had already reacted:

"Captain, you want to place a bet on yourself and then make a big profit after completing the mission!

But wouldn't that be too risky? That mastermind, Branch President Miao Pu, shouldn't be easy to deal with..."

Among the six psychics who raided the martial arts hall branch, five were Rank 6.

With Xu Jingming's strength, capturing them wouldn't be a problem.

The only one is that Black Lion Guild Vice President Miao Pu, who is a Rank 7 Low-Rank psychic with an A-grade Enhancement-type ability.

And being able to kill the Rank 7 Branch Master of the martial arts hall shows that his strength is not weak among his peers.

Such a Rank 7 Master is far from what Xu Jingming can currently deal with.

"Of course there's no way to deal with him now, but it's hard to say later on."

Xu Jingming grinned. "I plan to take a trip to the Kanda Wilderness Area. When the timing is right, I will come back to deal with him."

To be honest,

He hasn't fought a Rank 7 Master yet, so he doesn't know the limits of his own strength.

But at most, he should only be able to fight to a draw with a B-grade Rank 7 Low-Rank Master.

It would be very difficult to win, let alone against an A-grade Rank 7 Master.

After all, the strength of a Rank 7 psychic is more than ten times stronger than a Rank 6 Peak psychic!

Before capturing Miao Pu, he still needs to improve his strength once more to be the most secure.

"Go to the wilderness area..."

Lin Hui and the others looked at each other. Listening to this tone, it was as if he could beat Miao Pu after going to the wilderness area and coming back.

Although life-and-death crises do indeed help psychics break through, it hasn't reached such an outrageous level, right?

"Miao Pu and his group are hiding very deeply now, and they are all in different places. Even if we implement an arrest, it's very troublesome.

If we don't take action for a long time, it can just let them relax their vigilance.

During the time I'm away, you just need to pay attention to the locations of those people according to this intelligence, don't act without authorization."

Xu Jingming quickly made arrangements, then looked at Xia Lan again:

"By the way, how long is the betting period you mentioned?"

This trip to the Kanda Wilderness will conservatively take at least a month.

If I place a bet and am judged to have lost because the mission drags on too long and isn't completed, that would be troublesome.

So, I must confirm this clearly first.

"There is only a one-week betting window; the books close after a week. However, the duration is quite long, lasting two months.

If we complete the mission or abandon it during that time, the betting pool will end early."

Xia Lan said quickly.

Come to think of it, she owed it to two little sisters for passing her the news; otherwise, she really wouldn't have known it so clearly.

"Two months? That's enough."

Xu Jingming nodded. "Alright, let's leave it at that for today. Let's find a hotel to stay in first.

I'll head to the Kanda Wilderness early tomorrow morning, and you all just follow the plan."

"Yes!" Although Lin Hui felt Xu Jingming's arrangement was a bit unreliable, he was the captain after all.

So he didn't object, and followed the others in nodding respectfully to show he understood.

For psychics, mastering a foreign language is a very simple matter.

Xu Jingming and his group had long since mastered the Burmese language, and they soon booked five rooms at a nearby hotel.

Although these five rooms weren't luxurious enough to have training rooms, they were still much larger than standard rooms.

"I'm heading in now. You all get some rest early too."

"Bye-bye."

"Goodnight, Captain."

Xu Jingming's room was the first one. After he went inside, Lin Hui and the others continued down the corridor.

"So? Are you going to place a bet along with the captain?"

In the corridor, Lin Hui asked.

"Of course." Xia Lan replied directly, almost without any hesitation.

"How much are you planning to bet? I'll use it as a reference."

"I still have 21,000 points on me, so I'll bet 20,000 and keep the remaining thousand as a backup."

"How much? 20,000?"

Lin Hui's eyes widened, doubting if he had heard correctly. "I remember you only entered the Heaven's Pride Training Camp half a year ago, right?

You finally managed to save up 20,000, and you're just throwing it all in like that? Aren't you afraid of losing every last bit?"

Points in the Heaven's Pride Training Camp weren't easy to earn, and Xia Lan was only a Rank 4 High-Tier psychic; her level wasn't considered very high.

These 20,000-plus points were only accumulated because she had to constantly take on missions over the past six months and hadn't spent much.

"I'm not afraid. I have a lot of confidence in Xu Jingming."

In Xia Lan's beautiful eyes, which resembled sapphires, a faint brilliance flickered.

"Good grief!

I originally thought there were already enough little fan girls for Xu Jingming in our training camp, but I didn't expect you to be one of them too!"

Lin Hui couldn't help but say in shock.

Although he wasn't interested in Xia Lan, there were quite a few students in the Elite Training Camp who were.

Some of those students were not only powerful but also had terrifying backgrounds.

Yet, without exception, none of them had been able to catch Xia Lan's attention.

However, he hadn't expected her to be so special toward Xu Jingming alone.

"But then again, a 20-year-old Rank 5 with an SS-level psychic ability who is also so handsome.

If I were a girl of the same age, I'd probably fall for him too."

Thinking of Xu Jingming's conditions, Lin Hui felt relieved.

Although Xia Lan had a proud personality, as long as her sexual orientation was normal, she would eventually show some traits of a young girl.

It was normal for her to be attracted to Xu Jingming, who was as dazzling as a new star.

As for the label of 'little fan girl,' Xia Lan smiled sweetly and didn't refute it.

Perhaps it was because Teacher Ling Shuang always used Xu Jingming's near-miraculous experiences at Demon University as examples for her.

Or perhaps it was because of Xu Jingming's terrifying suppression during the assessment matches.

In any case,

She now had an inexplicable confidence in Xu Jingming.

It was as if even if Xu Jingming said he could defeat a Rank 8 Grandmaster after returning from the wilderness, she would choose to believe him without hesitation.

In such a situation, calling her a little fan girl didn't seem too excessive...
