Chapter 732: 732 Put on a grand show for Sister Lan! [Update 2]

The sweet call of "Sister Rong Si" stunned everyone indoors.

Si Minghe stared stiffly at his own empty hand, standing dumbfounded, momentarily deaf.

"..."

Mr. Wen is a high-ranking official at the Supernatural Affairs Office. Despite seeming somewhat unreliable, appearances can be deceiving; it is said that the director of the Supernatural Affairs Office has considered him to be the next leader.

Even Minghe must respectfully address him as "Mr. Wen," so why does he transform, upon meeting Rong Si, into a child enchanted by candy?

Ye Wanlan glanced at Wen Chaosheng, his expression unchanged.

"Sister Rong Si, finally you’ve arrived," Wen Chaosheng’s expression could only be described as ingratiating, "It’s been so long since I last saw you. I’ve come here as a judge specifically for you this time."

With his words, the room fell into a deeper silence.

Si Minghe’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

She heard what?

Wen Chaosheng came as a judge for Rong Si?!

"Indeed, it’s been a while," Ye Wanlan replied unhurriedly. "Today, seeing you again, your sweet talk remains the same."

"How am I sweet-talking? What I say is the truth!" Wen Chaosheng clapped his hands, "I don’t even bother talking to others. I’m just waiting to catch up with you, Sister Rong Si. Let’s go, let’s find somewhere private to chat."

He cheerfully led the way ahead of Ye Wanlan, completely indifferent to how wide others’ mouths had opened.

Xing Yue glanced sidelong at Wen Chaosheng, shaking his head, "That guy from the Supernatural Affairs Office, his mind isn’t quite right."

Rong Qi: "..."

He thought, perhaps indeed it was.

Over there, inside the lounge.

"Sister YN, isn’t it satisfying and impressive?" Wen Chaosheng tossed his hair back, "I’ve come specifically to support you; we can’t let them underestimate you."

"Hmm, impressive." Ye Wanlan said casually, "But you’ve also attracted no small amount of hostility for me."

"With Sister YN’s capabilities, even if I didn’t, you’d draw everyone’s attention in the upcoming competition with your extraordinary strength." Wen Chaosheng rubbed his hands, "Sister YN, tell me, how did you perceive things just now? I’m quite curious."

"Just using my eyes," Ye Wanlan pointed to his own eyes, "Martial artists, once they reach a certain level, can infuse inner strength into their eyes and gain the ability to see through."

"Not using any art and method?" Wen Chaosheng scratched his head, still puzzled, "But how did you know it was Empress Angelina who wrote it, and even know what pen and ink were used?"

"Because my eyes can capture all the details." Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow, continuing leisurely, "The handwriting, ink color, and brush strokes, reveal easily other information."

Wen Chaosheng felt a chilling sensation, as if his spirit was shaken.

A sheet of paper, an event, a person... nothing could hide before Ye Wanlan.

"By the way, Sister YN, I’ve come to inform you of some critical information." Wen Chaosheng regained his composure and lowered his voice, "The Infinite Ruler is not owned by the Northern Land Imperial Family; the Heaven-reaching Tower presented it."

Heaven-reaching Tower!

Ye Wanlan squinted his eyes: "No wonder..."

Only Heaven-reaching Tower has the capacity to instantly broadcast the Spirit Summoning Battle globally.

"Though I don’t yet know their motive," Wen Chaosheng added, "as soon as there’s news, I’ll report to you immediately, Sister YN."

"Alright." Ye Wanlan nodded slowly, "But prioritize your safety, do not get hurt."

Wen Chaosheng chuckled: "Understood——"

**

The first round of the competition concluded in a tense atmosphere, with Ye Wanlan undoubtedly emerging as the first in C district.

If she continued to score perfect marks in the upcoming knockout rounds, she would become the tenth contestant to enter the finals, competing against nine seed players.

As the competition ended, Si Minghe left angrily.

Mei En smiled with a vague meaning and left as well.

"Since when did the Rong Family and the Supernatural Affairs Office become so close?" On the road, Si Minghe was puzzled, "That Mr. Wen has peculiar habits, even likes to wear beggar clothes, and doesn’t approach even the great young master like that."

Moreover, Wen Chaosheng is older than Rong Si, yet he calls her sister?

"Miss Minghe, it appears to me, it’s not the Rong Family and the Supernatural Affairs Office having a relation, but only Rong Si herself." The Chief Guard pondered a moment and spoke, "Previously, Rong Qi was present too, but Mr. Wen showed no signs of closeness."

"Oh?" Si Minghe squinted her eyes, "Are you suggesting, the Rong Family sent Rong Si because she has a secret romance with Mr. Wen, so that he might favor her in the competition to let her win?"

"Precisely." The Chief Guard replied, "But with so many watching, it’s probably impossible to show favoritism."

"But it’d be troublesome if we came to blows." Si Minghe frowned, "We must come up with an impeccable plan to make Rong Si retreat without success."

As the Spirit Summoning Battle was broadcasted globally, the gambling scene began as well.

Since the abrupt disappearance of "Zeroing Community," the only popular forum left globally was the Global Forum.

On the Global Forum, netizens were betting on who would win this Spirit Summoning Battle championship.

Leading the bets in both number of participants and amount wagered was Main Romanov, with Rong Qi, Xing Yue, and Si Minghe closely following.

Last year’s champion, Victoria Monroe, dropped to fourth, with the top nine being all seed players.

However, due to Ye Wanlan’s impressive performance, some netizens were also considering wagering on her.

[I’m betting a few hundred bucks on Rong Si, hehe, if I win, it could multiply dozens of times.]

[Betting on Rong Si? I’ll admit, Rong Si is indeed competent, but are you sure she can defeat Miss Mei’en and Miss Victoria?]

[Even if she did really win, as a collateral branch of the Rong family, is she daring enough to defeat Rong Qi? She certainly wouldn’t dare.]

[Curiously, I’ve only got a few hundred, but I don’t want it to be a fool’s errand, so just to be safe, I’m opting for Miss Mei’en.]

The odds for Rong Si now stand at 1 to 98, indicating her chances of winning the championship are slim.

[I’ll place my bet on Rong Si. I don’t lack the few thousand bucks, if it hits, it’ll be an overnight fortune.]

[Just dropping a few hundred in play, what if?]

Those betting on Rong Si were few, with the total amount not exceeding ten thousand.

Whereas the amount bet on Si Minghe exceeded two billion, naturally with support from the Si family.

Every second spins up the stakes on each seed player intensively.

Every minute bears fresh bets, especially approaching the final moments before closing.

[System Prompt]: Please be advised that there is approximately one minute remaining to place your bets.

The forum erupted with cries of woe.

[I’m doomed! I intended to increase my bet on Miss Minghe, but I accidentally clicked wrong and bet it on Rong Si! That’s all my belongings!]

[What if Rong Si wins? Just there’s that what if, pity for your imminent poverty.]

[All Rong Si’s fault!]

Time pressed on, leaving merely the last ten seconds before closure.

[10, 9, 8... 4, 3, 2——1!]

Time’s up!

All amounts stopped rolling, holding top position with an amount is——

Rong Si: 5000050700

In the final second before closure, someone wagered "500000000" on Rong Si!

Thus setting Rong Si’s total bet at fifty billion and five thousand seven hundred!

The forum staff couldn’t help but gasp, their eyes wide.

Anyone able to suddenly extricate ten billion in such a gamble is certainly no ordinary person.

With singular force, they’ve elevated the jackpot pool to a terrifying tier.

Everyone on the forum also saw the golden ID name floating at the top of the notification bar——

[World’s Richest]
