you already want to my money?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan shrugged: “It can’t be helped, there are too many of you, if you lose and don’t want to pay up then I can’t really do anything can I?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I lose” Gu Qing Shan pointed at himself “between all of you here, I can’t leave anyways”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hui Shao hesitated a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can’t even afford to put out a deposit and you still want to bet?” Gu Qing Shan shook his head, about to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hui Shao use his hand to stop Gu Qing Shan, a bit angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally he was planning on not paying even a single cent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows the opponent would be that clever, just a few words and he already couldn’t go back on his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a normal person has pride, let alone a noble young master like Hui, the other party has stated very plainly, if he wants the bet to go on, he has no choice but to pay up first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bastard, I won’t let you off easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hui Shao determined silently, his face clearly became darker and said: “Fine then, but I also have a condition”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What condition?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hui Shao emphasized every word: “If you lose, I want one arm”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he added: “If you don’t dare to take the bet, leave the bow and crawl under my crotch”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan calmly: “Your condition is fine, but that’ll take more money”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hui Shao took out a card, gave it to him and said: “A registered unnamed card, transfer 200,000 yourself”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared cruelly at Gu Qing Shan: “100,000 for the bow; 100,000 for your arm”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Agreed”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan took the card, transferred 200,000 credits using his personal Holo-Brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now then, how do you want to bet”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan gave the card back to the other party, his mood already better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During high school, he has always used money sparingly, so he’ll be able to use the 200,000 credits for a very long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hui Shao said: “Free shooting for 1 minute and compare the scores at the end, whoever scored more wins”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hui Shao smirked proudly: “I already know the outcome; I’ll be taking your right hand”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, he clapped his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man wearing the club’s uniform stepped out from the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young master Hui, leave it to me” the middle-aged man said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person in the know immediately exclaimed: “The world’s archery competition 3 times champion, Wu Sheng!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh man, poor that boy”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, he bet an arm with Hui Shao, he’s done for”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah, how regretful for such a young man”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely opposite to the rest of the people is the crowd behind Hui Shao, both clapping and laughing at another’s misfortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha ha, such a prideful brat, I’ve hated him from the start”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait till he gets his arm chopped off, he’ll probably pee his pants”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s really worth watching!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t wait to see the look on his face, ha ha ha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Gu Qing Shan and Wu Sheng were both standing in front of their respective targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Begin!” an instructor signaled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Sheng skillfully drew an arrow, aimed carefully and shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pew!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrow accurately hit the bullseye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud cheer was heard around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“10 points!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As expected from the world’s 3 times champion!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at that posture, that calmness!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hui Shao was also smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan had already shot 3 arrows, each of them neatly lined up next to each other on the outermost ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd of rich young masters laughed\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“1 point”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He only got 1 point”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no, he got 1 point 3 times”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha ha, he’s definitely not keeping his arm”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan still unfazed, kept shooting his arrows one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Wu Sheng aimed for another while and finally shot the second arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bullseye!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10 points!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone kept cheering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Sheng happily turned around and raised his bow in celebration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the other side, he can see the youth’s hand hasn’t stopped, already hit 7 arrows on the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they’re all 1 point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Sheng shook his head and laughed sarcastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What good does quick shooting do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>7 shots couldn’t compare to even one of his shots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew another arrow, pulled the bow and aimed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The competition continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>15 seconds later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, the sound of cheering died down, replaced by the sound of gossip from around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Sheng fired another shot, this time because of the crowd’s noise, his nerves were affected and could only get 8 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but turned around to look at what was happening on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he looked, the bow in Wu Sheng’s hand dropped to the ground, himself frozen in shock, unable to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the opposite’s side target, arrows were lined up like a coiling string, having completely covered the outermost ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the second outermost ring was also completely covered towards the inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again the arrows were orderly lined up like a continuous string!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that was the 3rd ring from the outside, moving closer and closer to the bullseye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan happily shot arrows for another 15 seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just 30 seconds total, the whole 5 quivers full of arrows prepared was all shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The end” Gu Qing Shan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him, the whole target was covered in arrows lined up neatly, not leaving a single space left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the bullseye in the middle was covered in arrows, not even a small gap could be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, there were only 5 arrows on Wu Sheng’s target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how hard Wu Sheng tried, in just a minute he couldn’t possibly do the same thing as Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan stowed away the bow and turned around to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he passed by Hui Shao, Gu Qing Shan stopped for a second and said: “Thank you for the credits”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hui Shao gripped Gu Qing Shan’s shoulder with his hand, groaning: “This isn’t over yet”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah? What else is there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan lightly knocked his hand off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leave the bow, you can leave” Hui Shao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That isn’t what our bet was though”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want your life, then leave the bow”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you can see this bow’s value? How unfortunate but you lost, so I won’t give it to you”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How brave”, Hui Shao nodded, his eyes became like a snake’s: “In this whole capital city, there hasn’t been a single person who dare to directly disobey me, you lot, tell him so he can keep his pathetic life”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A youth said: “Hui Shao, saying that much is already respecting him, since he doesn’t know right from wrong, let us teach him how cruel this world is”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another said: “I’ve checked information from the archery range, his surname is Gu, he’s not from the 9 Lords, no matter how we handle him there won’t be a problem”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hui Shao turned around and told a subordinate: “Go, get the archery range’s manager”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the manager of the archery range as well as a few employees quickly came running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a distance, the manager was already smiling and asked: “Hui Shao, what can we do for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hui Shao used his chin to point at Gu Qing Shan and answered: “I lost a bow, then found out he had it”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, this brat is a thief”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Call the police, put him prison”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give back Hui Shao’s bow first”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd shouted in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The manager looked at Gu Qing Shan and asked without hesitation: “Sir, please return the bow to Hui Shao”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan turned around, very sincerely said: “I brought the bow here, you go and check the surveillance footage yourself, I’ve not come close to those people since the start”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The manager frowned and looked at Hui Shao, not knowing what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hui Shao said: “Isn’t your surveillance system broken?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The manager slapped his head, then immediately: “Yes! Our cameras are already broken, sir, please return the bow to Hui Shao, or we will have to call the police”\u003C\u002Fp>",1391,"2026-06-09T03:05:00.962Z",1,"novelbin.me","7f47b63ea5880edb5e7376974e3ee950220ab4d544bc86f1fbbc4b70663339fd","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-44","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-42",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
