Chapter 638: One in a Thousand Odds

~8 min read 1,433 words

"Master, the few people you bet on are all about to advance." Chi Ha and the others looked at Su Fan, their faces filled with disbelief; naturally, immediately afterward, they became excited.

They had personally placed the bets for their master, so they naturally knew that once tomorrow passed, their master's net worth would double, and not just by a few times, but perhaps by tens of times.

Therefore, the excited Chi Ha called out to him directly as "Master."

"Haha!"

Su Fan laughed non-stop upon hearing this. He was naturally very excited as well. For this betting pool, he had directly taken out one trillion Universe Coins, having Chi Ha, Lu Chen, and the others place bets across several thousand accounts.

The final result would be that this one trillion Universe Coins would multiply by tens of times, or even more.

By then, he would once again obtain tens of Primordial Units; this net worth was already comparable to some top-tier World Lords.

However, to tell the truth, he still had some grievances regarding the forces running the betting pools; the odds for Luo Feng and the others to advance were actually only fifty.

Originally, he had thought that for people coming from backwater places like Luo Feng and the others, the odds should have reached a thousand or ten thousand times.

Yet, reality dealt a heavy blow; it was only fifty times, the highest odds being fifty.

Every major betting house was like this.

Later, he inquired and learned that it hadn't been like this long ago, just as Su Fan had previously anticipated, but the result was that some Martial Artists from small places suddenly became dark horses.

Then, people bet on them, leading to the forces behind those betting houses being unable to pay out in the end.

Since then, no matter who you bet on, the maximum odds are fifty times; of course, there are also some that are very low.

Those are disciples meticulously cultivated by top-tier forces, who were very famous from the start.

Having no choice, Su Fan could only take out one trillion Universe Coins; naturally, he had more than one trillion Universe Coins on hand.

Last time he split assets with Luo Feng, each person got nearly nine trillion Universe Coins, and he had spent about two trillion or so.

As for the rest, some were invested; after all, this number was very small in front of true powerhouses, but in some places, it was still quite large.

Even if placed in Galaxy Bank, the interest added each year alone was tens of billions of Universe Coins.

It was equivalent to tens of thousands of planets.

The wealthier one is, the easier it is to make money; Su Fan had known this in his first life, as he had been a rich second-generation heir in his first life.

Although the family fortune wasn't the kind on the "kill-pig list," he was the type of rich second-generation heir who could still get hundreds of thousands in pocket money.

At that time, he didn't have any bad habits, and his pocket money accumulated from middle school to university reached over thirty million.

Doing nothing, just leaving it in the bank, it was nearly a million a year.

Now, these trillions of Universe Coins were the same.

As for why he only took out one trillion, it was because Su Fan did not want to expose himself excessively; who knew if someone with ulterior motives would investigate.

In a few days, he would have tens of Primordial Units in hand, and Su Fan was still very excited.

It wasn't just Su Fan; this time, because of Su Fan's reminder, Luo Feng and the others had also bought quite a bit.

So when the time came, they would also make a large sum, especially Luo Feng; he seemed to trust Su Fan very much, or rather, he trusted himself and he trusted Hong and the others.

Therefore, like Su Fan, he took out one trillion Universe Coins.

"Tens of Primordial Units; for the final decisive battle, one can buy again. Should I bet it all?"

Su Fan also wanted to go crazy for once. According to his understanding, for the final peak battle, the odds would no longer be capped at fifty times.

After all, by the final peak tournament, the one thousand people were almost all familiar with each other.

They had a rough understanding of each other's strength, and the odds would mostly be fixed; there would be dark horses, but it would be hard to have any major dark horses.

For a Martial Artist who only ranked in the nine-hundreds to have thousand-fold odds, no one would buy it; even a fool would know it was impossible for him to reach the top twenty in the decisive battle.

As for those seeded players, the odds were extremely, extremely low.

But this time, there were still dark horses, especially Luo Feng; at the beginning, not many people were optimistic about Luo Feng.

In fact, take the current Luo Feng, for example; his ranking had reached the top one hundred in Ganwu Country, but those big shots in Ganwu Country didn't even think Luo Feng could advance to the top one thousand in the universe.

The current Luo Feng indeed didn't have that strength, but later, Luo Feng seemed to have gained insight into the space origin laws, entered the threshold, and then his strength improved rapidly.

That was why he finally reached the top ten.

This was a dark horse, and this was an opportunity to make money.

As for the upcoming Ganwu Country Arena Tournament, Luo Feng had no problems, and while Hong and Lei Shen both had the qualifications to participate, even Su Fan dared not be certain whether they could become the final nine hundred out of those one hundred thousand.

In the original timeline, Lei Shen didn't even have the qualifications, and Hong failed in the final Arena Tournament, not becoming a final seed, so he couldn't represent Ganwu Universe Country in the competition between higher-level countries.

In this timeline, his arrival indeed allowed Lei Shen and Hong's strength to improve quite a bit, but they still couldn't comprehend the origin of the universe, so when facing those true Peerless geniuses, they were still lacking a lot.

Comprehending the origin and erupting with power versus not comprehending the origin and erupting with strength indeed had a huge gap; the difference in attack power was very obvious, perhaps even a thousand or hundred-fold difference.

However, Hong and Lei Shen's Domain comprehension was more powerful than in the original timeline, and coupled with the Martial Dao Su Fan brought from other worlds, their combat power soared significantly; as for whether they could pass,

Su Fan couldn't be sure. If they could pass, he estimated Hong had a possibility, but Lei Shen would definitely be a bit worse.

"Palace Master, for the upcoming Arena Tournament, should we place bets?"

"Bet, naturally we must bet. See how high the odds are for Luo Feng's advancement."

"Palace Master, I've pulled them up. For most betting houses, the odds for Luo Feng's advancement are extremely low; some are even one in ten thousand, and most are one in a thousand."

Hearing Chi Ha's words, Su Fan was a bit speechless; sure enough, the forces behind those betting houses were not fools either.

Indeed, with Luo Feng's strength, it would be strange if he didn't advance; even if he needed to participate in the Arena Tournament, if he were eliminated with his strength, that would be big news.

Of course, Su Fan could also bet on Luo Feng's ranking; in that case, the odds would rise much higher.

But Su Fan couldn't guarantee it, so he could only shake his head helplessly: "Take out another two trillion to buy Luo Feng's advancement; of course, for Hong and Lei Shen, bet one hundred billion on them."

Su Fan gritted his teeth and said. Luo Feng was definitely no problem; by then, two trillion would probably only net tens or hundreds of billions of Universe Coins, which could only be considered small change.

It all depended on Hong and Lei Shen; their strength, while not bad, had reached the qualifications for the Arena Tournament.

But whether they could advance, he dared not boast. Therefore, the odds for Lei Shen and Hong at the various betting houses were not low; the low ones were several times, and some, in order to attract bets, even had odds of several tens of times.
