Chapter 733: 733 Exploded! Actively exposing tricks [Update 1]

"..."

The entire forum fell into a long silence, then it exploded.

Countless new posts were made every second, and an innumerable amount of new members flooded into the Global Forum, just to catch a glimpse of the dazzling ID that casually threw 5 billion into the bet.

[My God, 5 billion! Is it really 5 billion?! Are my eyes deceiving me, is it actually nine zeros following that 5?!]

[World’s Richest? Who’s so bold to dare choose such an ID?]

[Well... it’s not entirely baseless. With 5 billion in liquid assets, you could genuinely claim to be World’s Richest.]

[Just 5 billion in liquid assets qualifies one as World’s Richest? Ever heard of Miss Kristin Constans, the President of the World Bank? The liquid assets she holds far exceed 5 billion!]

[Who is this big shot? Has anyone dug up anything?]

[Can’t find anything, the IP address keeps changing dynamically.]

[Stop dreaming, ordinary folks like us can’t possibly uncover the identity of such a high-level True God.]

Many forum members started constantly tagging World’s Richest, but no matter how they tagged, the avatar of the ID World’s Richest remained dark, without making any posts or replies.

Some senior members asked the forum staff, but still received no information.

This left netizens anxious and desperate to know the true identity of "World’s Richest."

[What kind of luck does Rong Si have? Someone actually bet 5 billion on her? Isn’t that equivalent to throwing 5 billion straight into the water?]

[Wrong, throwing it into water might at least create some ripples, but betting on Rong Si turns it into nothingness.]

[Could it be the Rong Family? Would the Rong Family really fork out 5 billion just for some face? What’s the point.]

Opinions varied, and all sorts of speculations emerged endlessly.

Meanwhile, private chat groups were also set ablaze by Kristin’s move.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Rich Sister is impressive! Even if I worked in the Underworld for 500 years, I couldn’t earn that much.

[Cultured Person]: How could you compare to Rich Sister? Even thinking about it is futile!

[Crazy Scientist]: 5 billion! Even selling me wouldn’t fetch that much.

[World’s Richest]: That’s not necessary. Our Professor Ye’s life is priceless.

[World’s Richest]: 5 billion is nothing; I just can’t stand to see my people being suppressed.

[Shenzhou University Gate Security]: Didn’t Rich Sister worry, what if this 5 billion...

[World’s Richest]: If the money is gone, I can earn it again. It doesn’t matter.

[Sister YN]: No.

[Sister YN]: Because, I won’t let you lose.

A simple nine-word sentence, yet it possessed a power that could ignite a passion within one’s chest.

Kristin’s heart stirred slightly as she read this statement.

When she dropped this 5 billion, she really didn’t think much, only wanting to make Ye Wanlan’s bet amount the highest.

For her, 5 billion wasn’t a trivial amount, yet she never considered winning as a necessity.

[Sister YN]: But with Little Keli’s move, quite a few people are going to go bankrupt.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Took a look, Sister YN’s odds are now 1 to 40, hiss... can the bookmaker even afford to pay out that much money?

This time, the bookie was actually the Global Forum. They were not at all worried and in fact, were very pleased.

Because with the additional 5 billion bet on Rong Si, it meant that they wouldn’t have to pay out of their own pocket and could earn even more money.

Of course, all of this was based on the premise that they didn’t believe Rong Si could take the championship.

At this moment, in the Northern Lands.

In a hotel.

"Who bet so much money on Ah Lan?" Xing Yue was also shocked, she poked Rong Qi’s waist, "Your grandfather?"

"Impossible." Rong Qi shook his head, "The Rong Family is the poorest among the Five Great Families, even the Xiang Family couldn’t take out this much money at once."

Xing Yue pondered, "Then it must be a friend of Ah Lan’s, 5 billion, quite the grand gesture."

As they were chatting, the door opened, and Ye Wanlan walked in.

"Ah Lan!" Xing Yue waved at her, "Xiao Qi and I were discussing who might have bet 5 billion on you."

"A friend," Ye Wanlan said, "So the first place cannot be handed to anyone."

She intended to win the Infinite Ruler, and she wouldn’t let Kristin lose money.

Ye Wanlan then shared the intelligence she received from Wen Chaosheng with Xing Yue and Rong Qi, "The purpose of the Heaven-reaching Tower is still unknown, and there are traps, but for the Infinite Ruler, I must take the risk."

Xing Yue and Rong Qi exchanged a solemn glance.

The past spirit summoning battles were all pre-recorded and then broadcasted after editing.

This time, however, not only was there a global live broadcast, but the program’s duration had also been shortened from three months to three weeks.

This way, there would be a new round of competition almost every few days.

"The competitions these days have only followed the usual rules of the program," Rong Qi began slowly, "but by the third elimination round, we’ll need to go to the offsite location."

In a previous spirit summoning battle, contestants were made to enter an old castle that had been abandoned since last century because no one who went in ever came out alive.

The competition was tense and thrilling, but participants also perished in the competition.

Now, with the Heaven-reaching Tower involved, the external battle will certainly not be easy.

Ye Wanlan smiled slightly, "In Shenzhou, there are no ghosts or gods. I also want to see what the spiritual bodies in the Northern Lands are like."

From now on, she wouldn’t hold back.

**

Three days later, at the Global Center.

The betting frenzy surrounding the spirit summoning battle was still at an all-time high because, up to now, no one had managed to uncover the identity behind "World’s Richest."

Today, Kristin attended a press conference as the President of the World Bank. By the close of the event, a journalist from Global brought up this bet specifically.

"Miss Kristin, recently on the Global Forum, a mysterious person surfaced." The journalist handed over the microphone respectfully, "An ID named ’World’s Richest,’ this ID wagered 5 billion on the spirit summoning battle. Some people see it as a challenge to you, while others think it might be you personally."

The venue erupted into chaos, as many hadn’t expected the Global journalist to pose such a question in an official setting.

[Why would Miss Christine show any interest in such a trivial gambling affair? Do you know how much money she makes per second?]

[Don’t waste Miss Kristin’s time, that journalist must be blind.]

[I suspect the Rong Family bought this journalist to boost Rong Si’s popularity.]

[If Kristin really made that bet, I’ll write my name backwards!]

Kristin’s gaze fell upon the Global journalist, a cold look that was still overwhelmingly oppressive.

Despite being only twenty-six, her aura surpassed that of veterans who had been in business for years.

The journalist’s face turned white: "Miss Kristin, excuse my presumption, I have no more questions."

He quickly withdrew the microphone, wiping sweat profusely.

"Yes, it was me who placed the bet," Kristin stated coldly, "There’s no impostor, I am World’s Richest. Any objections?"
