Martial Master

For a moment, Kang Sitong was at a loss for how to respond.

He couldn't possibly say that the Northern Sky Domain was too trashy, that the odds hadn't even come out, and that the Wanbao Tower couldn't possibly offer odds on winning the championship, could he?

Qin Chen seemed to know what Kang Sitong was thinking and smiled: "You don't need to say anything, I know. The odds for me are probably not even out yet, right? So, my suggestion to you, Kang Tower Master, is to open a bet: wager that I cannot win the championship. If I can't win, it will be one to a hundred. How many people do you think will place bets?"

One to a hundred?

Kang Sitong was instantly stunned. This was a hundred times the odds! Moreover, the bet was not on Qin Chen winning, but on him not winning. This meant that as long as Qin Chen did not take the championship, if others bet one piece of real stone, the Wanbao Tower would have to pay out one hundred pieces of real stone.

Who wouldn't want to take such a bet?

This was a hundredfold profit. Normally, odds of one to five, or one to ten, were already incredible.

Such exaggerated odds were rarely offered by the Wanbao Tower because it was too easy to go bankrupt. If someone placed a bet of one hundred million real stones, they would have to pay out ten billion. Who could afford that?

Of course, if Qin Chen could really win the championship of the Alchemy Competition, the profit would be immense. Once such a harsh bet was opened, attracting tens of billions of medium-grade real stones would be no problem. Was it possible that Qin Chen was referring to tens of billions of real stones?

"Young Master Chen, you are joking too much," Kang Sitong said, his forehead beading with cold sweat. This was even more perverse than directly borrowing one hundred million top-grade real stones from him. If he lost, Wanbao Tower would have to pay out thousands of billions of medium-grade real stones. How could they bear that?

Just thinking about it made Kang Sitong feel like his heart was about to explode.

"It seems that Master Kang does not believe I can win this Alchemy Competition?"

"Young Master, you jest. With your talent, winning the championship is not impossible. It's just that the risk is too great. Our Wanbao Tower simply cannot afford to play this game," Kang Sitong said, his forehead drenched in cold sweat.

In his heart, he was speechless. Qin Chen was too bold. Who would dare to play such a big game? Today was the first time he met him; who knew how strong his alchemy skills truly were? He would have to be crazy to play this game with him.

"It is normal for Master Kang to be cautious. In that case, does the Wanbao Tower have Yin Kui Mist Flower and Divine Curse Gold Crystal?" Qin Chen smiled, seemingly unfazed, and asked.

Seeing that Qin Chen was not bringing up the bet, Kang Sitong immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as it is something available in the Eastern Continent, our Wanbao Tower definitely has it. Even if the Wanbao Tower in Zhongzhou City is temporarily out of stock, we can source it from elsewhere. However, I generally do not handle the inventory list, so let me get someone to check."

He waved his hand and glanced at the little girl beside him. She immediately nodded and walked out.

After the little girl left, Qin Chen smiled and said, "Master Kang, are you really not going to reconsider my previous suggestion?"

Kang Sitong was startled and awkwardly replied, "You jest, Young Master Chen, let's forget it."

"What if I guarantee it with my Northern Sky Domain Alchemy City?"

"This..."

Kang Sitong hesitated for a moment, looking at Qin Chen with suspicion, unsure why Qin Chen was so invested in this. Did he really believe he could win this Alchemy Competition?

As the master of Wanbao Tower, Kang Sitong naturally had his own channels for information. He was well aware that this Alchemy Competition was quite complex. On the surface, it seemed like a competition between the four lower domains, but because it involved the Ancient Yu Realm, some alchemy forces in the Martial Domain were also eyeing this competition.
