Auxiliary Women's Strategy: A Virtuous Wife Helps the King to Rule the World
Chapter 166 Betting
After the excitement, Mo Dao Gu's heart felt like a boulder dropped into a deep pool, its waves surging and lingering for a long time. The thrilling duel between the powerful Demon Saints had truly opened his eyes. The astonishing destructive power, even with the protection of a powerful defensive formation, still caused the arena to sink a full five meters. The extremely solid specially constructed arena was instantly reduced to fine dust, which was blown away by the wind.
However, Mo Dao Gu had a vague feeling in his heart that this duel seemed to be missing some key elements.
"It doesn't seem that exciting!" Mo Dao Gu muttered to himself, but he often recalled his father's earnest teachings and understood that when one's strength reaches a certain peak, the fighting scenes often lose their dazzling and exciting splendor. Because once one reaches that transcendental realm, those dazzling moves gradually become less important. No matter how bizarre, as long as they can achieve victory in fierce and brutal combat, they are truly excellent moves. Those seemingly flashy moves are more suitable for grand performances to entertain the audience, but they are not truly lethal skills that can truly defeat the enemy in the life-and-death struggle.
Mo Dao Gu found a shop, stepped inside, and rented a room upstairs. Prices in Sword Demon City were truly as high as a mountain, countless times higher than those in Crazy Demon City. This was unavoidable, given the Sword Demon God's exalted status. He was a supremely powerful being ranked fifth among the renowned Thirty-Six Demon Gods! His status was as revered as a towering mountain, awe-inspiring, his strength as unstoppable as a raging wave. Naturally, his admiration and worship were as numerous as the stars in the night sky. With so many admirers, Sword Demon City was flooded with tourists, some even moving in permanently. With this influx of people, businesses naturally profited profusely, and taxes soared like the rising tide. As a result, the Sword Demon God's wealth piled up like a mountain, and the cultivation resources were as abundant as the vast galaxy, countless and innumerable. Isn't this a perfect and virtuous cycle? In comparison, how can Crazy Demon City even compare?
After Mo Dao Gu had packed up, he went out to look for a place to register. In this bustling and noisy Sword Demon City, for a large-scale competition event like this, he could easily get the accurate answer he longed to know by just asking passers-by on the street.
Arriving at the registration office, he paid the registration fee, which was truly staggeringly high. The registration fee for the Demon Lord group was a staggering 10,000 Spirit Stones. Of course, for Mo Dao Gu, who came from a noble family and a wealthy family, this amount of Spirit Stones was nothing.
The next thing to do is to wait calmly for the moment when the competition officially begins. Modao Gu rubbed his hands together, his eyes burning with firm determination, and secretly swore in his heart that he must achieve remarkable and brilliant results in this competition.
It was rumored that the prize for this competition was a holy sword of immense power, and Mo Dao Gu's heart was filled with anticipation and longing. Even though his father was a fearsome demon god, he himself possessed only one artifact, and it was standard demon god equipment. No one else possessed an additional artifact, and even that demon god was still limited to using a holy weapon, let alone Mo Dao Gu.
On this day, Mo Dao Gu slowly woke up from his long and deep training, and stretched his lazy body comfortably and comfortably. Today was the first day of the preliminary round, and he dared not slack off or be negligent at all, for fear that he would lose the precious qualification for the competition because of his carelessness and lateness.
He hurried to the entrance of the competition venue marked "Demon Lord Group" and calmly took out the jade token he had been given during registration, entering the arena smoothly and unimpeded. This was a magnificent venue, meticulously designed and meticulously constructed for hosting various competitions. It featured a massive and impressive spectator seating area. He roughly counted the number with curiosity and amazement, and it could accommodate as many as 500,000 people simultaneously, all raptly watching the competition. He heard that the ticket prices were staggeringly high, far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Mo Dao Gu curled his lips and couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "This Sword Demon God really knows how to make money. He has endless ways to make money. Could it be that he has a proper league?"
He had actually hit the nail on the head. Various competitions were held here every week, attracting countless spectators. It wasn't as formal and organized as the strictly regulated football leagues on Blue Star, though.
The center of the venue is filled with identical-looking arenas neatly arranged. This is where the fierce competition in the preliminary round will begin.
Mo Dao Gu followed the staff's instructions to the preparation seat. He looked at the contestants around him casually. On the surface, their cultivation strength seemed to be quite good, but that was only superficial. When facing a real life-and-death battle, it was not possible to gain the upper hand and control the overall situation simply by having a high level of cultivation.
He really didn't have the energy to observe each contestant carefully and explore their intentions in depth, so he simply closed his eyes, put aside all distractions, and began to rest, silently waiting for the moment when the competition would begin.
"Boom... Boom... Boom..." Three heavy and powerful drum sounds came like thunder. Mo Dao Gu slowly opened his eyes and clearly heard the enthusiastic cheers outside that surged like a tsunami. He knew in his heart that a wonderful and exciting show was about to begin.
"Today is an extremely special and significant day. The highly anticipated annual Magic Sword Competition has finally officially begun. As we all know, our Magic Sword Competition is divided into four distinct groups: Magic Master, Magic Lord, Magic Saint, and Magic King. To add more fun and surprises to this year's competition, in addition to the exciting guessing game that has been an integral part of every previous competition, we have also ingeniously added a brand new and exciting competition: the exciting Cross-Border Challenge. This means that the top three in each group can bravely challenge the top three in the previous group, and the winner will reap the rewards of both groups. Generous rewards. Naturally, this new, challenging and unpredictable event will also be included in the exciting betting competition, with the highest prize reaching a staggering 1 to 1 million. Therefore, we sincerely welcome all enthusiastic lottery players to head to the betting window and place their bets. The host spoke eloquently and boastfully, but Modao Gubie didn't really listen. He only keenly grasped the two key pieces of information: the cross-border challenge and the ability to place bets. He couldn't help but feel ecstatic: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money. Absolutely not to be missed."
He patiently waited in line for a full hour before it was finally his turn to place a bet. After inquiring about the detailed betting rules, he unhesitatingly and decisively put out a considerable amount of spirit stones: "One hundred thousand on Mo Dao Gu winning alone in the Demon Lord group competition, and one hundred thousand on Mo Dao Gu winning consecutive games in the cross-border challenge."
The staff member was stunned for a moment, then said in astonishment, "Didn't I explain it clearly just now? During the cross-border challenge, there is absolutely no rest period allowed. Are you sure you want to win three games in a row?"
The staff took special note of Mo Dao Gu's Demon Lord realm. He wondered if he was going to challenge three even more powerful Demon Saints without a break. Was this truly a difficult task he could successfully complete? His heart was filled with deep doubt and worry.
"Of course, I'm sure of it." Mo Dao Gu nodded without hesitation and confirmed firmly, with confidence and determination flashing in his eyes.
"Okay, then I'll record it carefully for you. Please keep your precious receipt." Although the staff member was still full of doubts and puzzlement in his heart, he quickly and skillfully recorded it, and then handed over the betting receipt respectfully.
Mo Dao Gu turned around and left the betting point without hesitation, walked towards the rest area with firm steps, continued to close his eyes and rest, waiting for the official arrival of the game with a calm mind.
