Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Going to Make Big Money Again

Lu Xiao was quite satisfied with the outcome of this event.

Not only did he not complete the wedding with Irina, but he also secured an important position within the Civilization Book Club.

Although he didn’t have absolute control over the Civilization Book Club, with Chen Fei around, Irina probably wouldn’t refuse his requests.

In the future, the Civilization Book Club would also serve as an ace up his sleeve.

With the wedding canceled, Lu Xiao didn’t linger in the castle but left with Irina directly.

First, they returned to the hotel to rest, then ventured out to explore Paris City.

"Are you two really that free?" Lu Xiao asked Irina and Victoria, who were in the front seat of the car.

Initially, he was supposed to share a cab with Chen Fei.

But they insisted on driving him personally, without even calling a driver.

"Mr. Lu has been a big help, so it’s only right to give him a lift," Victoria said, turning around with a smile on her face.

Irina immediately nodded in agreement.

This time, they indeed owed a lot to Lu Xiao and Chen Fei.

Without them, not only would Victoria have suffered, but she would likely have been expelled from the Civilization Book Club as well.

"Spit it out, what is it?" Lu Xiao interrupted, "Did you think I could listen to your nonsense?"

As soon as you two chime in, I already know what you’re up to.

Obviously, you have something serious to discuss.

Irina and Victoria exchanged a glance, then gently hit the brakes and pulled over.

"Mr. Lu, are you heading to Meili Country next? To participate in the Mutant Exchange Competition, right?" Victoria asked.

Lu Xiao nodded.

This wasn’t a secret; he seemed to have mentioned it previously on the plane.

"Irina was wondering if you’d consider participating in the Master Group competition."

"Master Group? What does that mean? There are different groups?" Lu Xiao asked, clearly puzzled, since he was completely unaware of the rules and procedures of the Mutant Exchange Competition.

Victoria sat up a bit straighter, then began to explain the Mutant Exchange Competition details to Lu Xiao.

"The Mutant Exchange Competition occurs every three years, divided into the Junior Group, the Elite Group, and the Master Group."

"The Junior Group is open to First-tier and Second Order competitiors; the Elite Group includes Second Order and Third-tier participants; the Master Group is for Third-tier and Fourth Rank competitors."

"Different groups offer different rewards."

By this point, Lu Xiao had started rolling his eyes.

First-tier and Second Order together is fine, Second Order and Third-tier is somewhat passable, but Third-tier with Fourth Rank, you’re joking, right?

Third-tier and Fourth Rank are not even on the same level.

The gap is huge.

Take him, for example, within Third-tier, he, Lu Xiao, could confidently say he was nearly unbeatable.

But even so, even as unbeatable at Third-tier, facing a Fourth Rank, he would get slapped to death with a single blow.

He had tried this before with Chen Fei and even with Liuli Hong, and the results were tragic and hopeless; he couldn’t block a single move.

"Forget it, will you be responsible if I get killed?" Lu Xiao waved his hands, refusing.

"Although the Master Group includes both Third-tier and Fourth Rank, there are subgroups within the group. Before the semifinals, Third-tier participants won’t face Fourth Rank ones," Victoria continued.

Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow. Is that so?

Then participating wouldn’t be too bad; securing a spot in the semifinals would be a decent finish.

"According to previous rules, the semifinals consist of two Fourth Rank and two Third-tier competitors," Victoria hinted with a raised eyebrow to Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao was slightly surprised, then his lips stretched into a grin.

Having two Fourth Rank and two Third-tier in the semifinals sounded interesting; as long as he faced another Third-tier, he could advance to the finals.

The final opponent would certainly be Fourth Rank? No problem, he’d have Chen Fei compete.

With Chen Fei’s strength, she could definitely make it to the finals.

Then, meeting with Chen Fei in the finals... let Chen Fei take a fall, and he would be the Master Group champion.

"What are the odds for a Third-tier winning the Master Group championship, usually?" Lu Xiao asked with a chuckle.

Victoria and Irina both grinned, "See, that’s smart thinking; you get it right away."

"At least... a hundred times."

Lu Xiao gasped, a hundred times the odds, that would be a huge windfall!

"By then, will it still be our Civilization Book Club handling the bets?" Lu Xiao couldn’t help but ask.

If it’s still the Civilization Book Club managing the betting, then the profit wouldn’t feel as good, since... it’d essentially be his own money.

"Of course not," Victoria shook her head, "With such a chance to make a fortune, how could Meili Country leave it to us?"

"According to tradition, it will be handled by the official betting agencies of Meili Country."
