Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty

Chapter 295: Chapter 295: I, Lu Xiao, Fourth Rank!

Meili Country’s official betting agency?

Lu Xiao frowned slightly, "Is it reliable? Don’t let us win the money only for them to deny the whole thing. That would be disgusting."

Victoria smirked, "So, it all comes down to our betting skills. We need to maximize our profit while keeping it within the range they can accept."

"Of course, to be safe, we could place bets under Chen Fei’s name."

"With that, you think they’d dare to deny the debt?"

After hearing Victoria’s explanation, Lu Xiao couldn’t help but raise his thumb, "Brilliant... Ah!"

Even Meili Country couldn’t afford to offend a Fourth-order Metal Control Mutant.

Besides, Chen Fei is not openly affiliated with any Mutant Organization.

An entirely free Fourth-order Metal Control Mutant? Offend them and see if they don’t destroy your base in minutes.

"Fei, we’re going to make a fortune again." Lu Xiao put his arm around Chen Fei’s waist.

Chen Fei leaned her head on Lu Xiao’s shoulder, her smile joyful and sweet.

She wasn’t too concerned about making money; being with Lu Xiao was satisfaction enough for her.

Upon reaching the hotel, Lu Xiao and Chen Fei lay on the bed for two hours.

After that, they were drenched in sweat so they took a bath that lasted another hour.

When they decided to go out, it was already past nine in the evening.

So, Lu Xiao happily decided to go back to lying in bed, which they did until early morning, and then they fell asleep in each other’s embrace.

The next morning at eight o’clock, Lu Xiao was woken by the ringing of his phone.

"Hello, who is it, are you out of your mind calling so early!" Lu Xiao snapped as he picked up the phone.

"Me." The voice of Goo Yuexing came from the other end.

Lu Xiao rolled his eyes and then sneezed, "Director, what’s up?"

"The sign-ups for the Mutant Exchange Competition are starting. You’re entering the Elite Group. Your entry voucher will be sent to your email; use that voucher to get the official entry pass at the venue," Goo Yuexing’s voice came through.

Lu Xiao jumped straight out of bed, completely startled.

Sign up for the Elite Group?

Are you kidding me? How would I make money if I signed up for the Elite Group?

"Has the registration been completed?" Lu Xiao immediately inquired.

"Filling in the information now, getting ready to upload."

"Stop right there!" Lu Xiao roared.

On the other end of the call, Goo Yuexing’s beard trembled from Lu Xiao’s shouting.

What’s gotten into this little bastard now?

"Director! Listen to me, you have to sign me up for the Master Group!" Lu Xiao said.

Goo Yuexing’s brain couldn’t quite process it. Why would a Third-tier sign up for the Master Group?!

Though a Third-tier could indeed participate in the Master Group, those who did were usually the weaker ones, who knew they had no chance in the Elite Group.

A Third-tier in the Master Group is basically a mascot.

Even if someone got incredibly lucky and placed second, it would be utterly useless.

In the Master Group, only the champion gets rewarded. Besides the champion, everyone else is a loser and gets nothing.

In the Elite Group, on the other hand, the top three all get prizes.

Especially the champion of the Elite Group—they get some seriously good stuff.

"Don’t mess around, stick with the Elite Group. If you win the Elite Group championship, you can get a huge advantage. Aren’t you after the Mutated Crystal? The champion of the Elite Group can get one-third of a Mutated Crystal," Goo Yuexing yelled.

Lu Xiao: ("▔□▔)

One-third of a Mutated Crystal, and you call that a huge advantage?

Look at Victoria, she gave me a whole crystal just like that.

"Director, I’m Fourth-order now, I can only participate in the Master Group," Lu Xiao said after thinking for a few seconds.

A long silence followed from the other end of the phone.

"Lu Xiao! Do you think I’m an idiot?!" Goo Yuexing’s voice boomed.

Lu Xiao felt like his own head was ringing from the shouting.

"Anyway, I am Fourth-order now, sign me up for the Master Group, or else I’m not participating at all! This call is costing me a fortune, that’s it. Bye!" After speaking, Lu Xiao hung up.

Listening to the busy tone from the phone, Goo Yuexing felt veins pulsing in his forehead.

"What happened to staying out of trouble, not causing a fuss?! Aaagh! This is infuriating!" Goo Yuexing slammed the table several times.

I’m in my seventies or eighties, I stayed awake until midnight to call you, all so you could sleep in a bit longer this morning.

And this is how you treat me?

After venting for a few minutes, Goo Yuexing dialed Liuli Hong’s number.

"Who is it, are you out of your mind calling at this hour!" From the phone came Liuli Hong’s angry voice.

Goo Yuexing felt like he was about to crumble.

He took several deep breaths before he calmed down.

"I just called Lu Xiao. That kid says he’s Fourth-order now and wants to join the Master Group in the Mutant Exchange Competition. Think about what kind of trick this damn kid is pulling."

Hearing what Goo Yuexing said, Liuli Hong started to sober up a bit.

Fourth-order? Impossible. Even with Lu Xiao’s insane talent, it couldn’t have happened so quickly.

So, why does this kid insist on joining the Master Group?

He must see a chance for profit. How?

By being the dark horse.

"Heh! Old Goo, how much money do you have?" Liuli Hong suddenly asked.

"What for?"

"Just listen to me. Take out all your retirement savings, and bet it all on Lu Xiao winning the championship in the Master Group."
