59: Chapter 58: The Bet is Settled, The Assessment Begins 59: Chapter 58: The Bet is Settled, The Assessment Begins Lin Ye laughed, “Sure, let’s give it a shot.
Even if we’re in Xia City, so what?
I don’t believe he’d dare offend my Lin Family!”
Saying that, Lin Ye didn’t wait for Ren Dongyang to respond and walked straight up to Xu Gu, saying,
“Xu Gu, want to have a competition?”
Xu Gu looked indifferent, “Speak.”
“Let’s see who scores higher.
If you lose, give me your attack accessory.
“If I lose, I’ll give you mine.”
Lin Ye narrowed his eyes, but a fiery excitement flashed within.
Xu Gu looked at him as if he were a fool, “If a dung beetle with its ball of dung asked to trade for your gold, would you trade?”
“No, I wouldn’t,” Lin Ye froze for a second, then immediately caught on and shouted angrily, “Are you calling me a dung beetle, saying my A-Class accessory, Ice Blade, is a ball of dung?”
“Isn’t that right?” Xu Gu chuckled.
The crowd also burst into laughter.
“Is this S-Class Family from Lin dreaming?
“Trying to bet with a broken, bound A-Class accessory against Xu Gu’s Half S-Class, unbound accessory!”
“Could his head be messed up?”
Lin Ye’s face changed repeatedly, only now realizing the problem.
Before, he just assumed he was guaranteed to win, that losing was impossible, so he didn’t pay much attention to it.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye fixed his gaze on Xu Gu, gritting his teeth, saying,
“I’ll wager all my accessories against you!
“1 bound A-Class, 3 unbound B-Class!
The core of a bound A-Class can be exchanged for three unbound B-Class accessories!”
The crowd was in an uproar.
Lin Ye was going all out!
Wasn’t he afraid of losing?
“Not enough,” Xu Gu shook his head, then said, “Add 5 million points, or forget it.”
“8 million points,” Xu Gu said indifferently.
The crowd didn’t think this price was high.
An A-Class unbound accessory was worth 20 million points alone.
Not to mention the unbound Half S-Class!
It should be at least 50 million points!
However, this was a bet, not a direct exchange.
If Xu Gu really wanted to bet with Lin Ye, he wouldn’t ask for forty or fifty million; after all, even selling Lin Ye wouldn’t cover it.
“8 million points.” Lin Ye’s face changed slightly; this was beyond his limit.
If he lost, he’d be left with nothing.
He’d lose even worse than Ren Dongyang!
But then, a glint of confidence and amusement flashed in his eyes.
Because one of the examiners was a cousin from his family!
And even the chief examiner!
Lin Ye, fearing Xu Gu might raise the stakes and back out, clenched his teeth tightly, in immense pain, and quickly said, “Deal!
Let’s sign the contract!”
He was extremely eager.
Afraid Xu Gu would back out.
“Be careful of fraud,” Yang Xue, seeing Lin Ye so anxious, couldn’t help but remind Xu Gu.
Lin Ye mocked, “What?
“Since you’re in such a hurry to give me money, it’d be rude not to accept,” Xu Gu laughed.
Watching Xu Gu sign the contract, Lin Ye’s thrill made his heart tremble nervously until he too finished signing, then laughed aloud.
“Xu Gu, you’re finished!
Soon, your Half S-Class accessory will be mine, Lin Ye’s!”
Facing Lin Ye’s provocation, Xu Gu’s expression remained unchanged.
He didn’t take it to heart.
Although he was about to gain 8 million points and a few B-Class accessories.
But, being worldly, he thought little of that gain, it was just a drizzle.
Since he was offering so much money, he’d let him have his moment.
Xu Gu was quite humane in reaping the benefits.
Lin Ye proudly returned to his original spot.
Instantly, he was met with admiration from numerous A-Class Auto Men and even S-Class Auto Men.
Because they thought Lin Ye was sure to win.
No way a civilian S-Class could surpass an S-Class from the Provincial City.
They saw even Ren Dongyang, an S-Class from the Ren Family in the Provincial City, behaved modestly before Lin Ye.
Especially in this kind of exam!
They sensed that, given Lin Ye’s confidence, one of the examiners must be from his family!
Thinking about it drove them mad with envy, that Half S-Class accessory was about to fall into Lin Ye’s hands!
“I didn’t expect him to really accept my challenge, so overestimating himself.”
Lin Ye said, laughing, especially as he approached Ren Dongyang, “Thanks, loser; seems your defeat gave Xu Gu courage.
“But he doesn’t know.
“Watch how I restore the face of our S-Class Family.”
“You!” Ren Dongyang, anger rising, finally held back, just saying, “Hope you don’t cry when you lose everything.”
“I’ll laugh last,” Lin Ye smirked.
The crowd gradually started entering.
People began lining up.
“I have a feeling Lin Ye might have some trick up his sleeve,” Yang Xue whispered to Xu Gu, “Should I get someone to look into it for you?”
Xu Gu shook his head, “Doesn’t matter.”
“Really,” Xu Gu replied coolly.
“Alright then!” Yang Xue sighed in relief.
Along the way, Xu Gu spotted several S-Class individuals.
Besides Yang Xue, Ren Dongyang, and Lin Ye, there were three more S-Class.
One was close to Lin Ye, named Wang Chenhan.
Another carried a sniper rifle, with a unique presence.
Another was a twin-tailed, youthful Auto Man girl with dual swords at her waist.
A-Class Auto Men were countless.
“Six S-Class, seems the series mission rewards are quite tempting,” Xu Gu thought, “I’m sure there are more S-Class watching.
“The reward for this exam task is just A-Class, yet it attracted so many S-Class and A-Class talents.
“If the S-Class accessory info is released, half of Nanhe Province’s S-Class will probably swarm here.
“Too bad, the series mission rewards for Xia City are all mine.”
In the hall, everyone was eyeing each other.
Understandably, Xu Gu and Lin Ye, due to their bet, became the central focus.
Particularly, Xu Gu was quite handsome!
Masculine, robust, charming.
Admiration from both men and women alike!
Naturally drawing countless attention!
“Achievement assessment, a key part of the college entrance exams, I believe you’re all aware, so I won’t delve into it.”
“If you want to earn rich rewards.”
Show your full potential!”
“The higher on the list you rank, and the longer you stay, the richer the rewards you get!”
“Alright, now that most people are here, let’s get started.”
The examiner, seeing most had arrived, promptly announced the beginning.
“Some civilian S-Class actually bet with an S-Class from the Provincial City, Lin Ye.
Whoever ranks higher gets the other’s wager!”
“Isn’t that overestimating oneself?”
Examiners drawn from cities all over Nanhe Province were buzzing with chatter.
Without exception, they all thought Xu Gu was bound to lose.
The chief examiner this time was from the Lin Family!
“Never heard of Xu Gu?” Lin Tianli shook his head slightly, somewhat distracted.
He had come to be the chief examiner solely to see his boss.
“But a civilian S-Class challenging my Lin Family S-Class, it’s really a bit…”
Lin Tianli frowned, then, prompted by those around him, looked at the holographic display before him, seeking, “Is this the Xu Gu?”
Mid-sentence, upon seeing Xu Gu’s image, Lin Tianli’s legs buckled, and he fell to his seat.
“Why does it have to be you!”
