When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 195 You're Curious

It was already night when we left Yujing Tower.

Although none of the young people participating in the meeting had the bad habit of dragging things out, the back-and-forth arguing and rebuttals still made the meeting last for several hours, extending into the evening.

The time in Baiyujing is synchronized with reality. At night, Baiyujing is illuminated by thousands of lights, and the lights, which are very different from those in modern times, give people a glimpse of the bustling night market in ancient times.

There were even more students on the streets than during the day.

In the distance, brilliant fireworks rose, probably to celebrate the arrival of the holiday.

However, since it was already night, Bai Ze no longer needed to be surrounded by people due to the dim lighting.

Luo Shui, walking backwards and facing Bai Ze, said with a grin, "How about it, Lao Bai, are you surprised? My appointment as the president of the Armory Society gives you four votes at once. Yun Shu doesn't even dare to make a single proposal, lest he be humiliated."

"Yes, it's a pleasant surprise," Bai Ze said rather calmly.

This bland tone immediately drew Luo Shui's displeasure. She said, "That's it? Aren't you going to ask me anything else? Aren't you curious about why I was able to take over as the head of the Ordnance Company?"

"Not curious." Bai Ze completely ignored the question.

"Aren't you curious why Zhang Fan is so reluctant to step down?"

"Not curious."

"You mean—"

"Not curious."

Bai Ze has even learned to answer questions quickly.

Luo Shui's originally smug face gradually turned red.

"I'm telling you—"

"Nine times out of ten, it was an arrangement made in advance by Mu Yaoguang, after all, you were originally the person she chose."

Bai Ze answered again.

"I--"

“I already guessed, so I’m not curious at all,” Bai Ze continued.

Luo Shui, gritting his teeth!
She really wanted to have a real-life PK with Bai Ze, but unfortunately, she was no match for him.

Even if she secretly becomes a three-star martial artist, she still can't be a match for Bai Ze.

In the end, Luo Shui could only say bitterly, "You bastard Lao Bai, I curse you to never find a girlfriend in your entire life."

"With my modeling skills, it would be difficult for no woman to like me," Bai Ze replied with a light laugh.

His behavior of hitting and arguing with women would have driven most people crazy, but unfortunately, Bai Ze has good character design and strength.

That's what we call true nature.

If the modeling isn't good, then it'll just be a dark goblin.

"Don't talk to me," Luo Shui snorted.

After walking half a street, Luo Shui struck up a conversation with Bai Ze again, "I didn't realize you were so generous. The alchemy society's supply of pills is quite profitable, yet you just distribute them like that, even sharing your own share. Even if you don't need them, exchanging them for points is still good."

Seeing Luo Shui's change of expression after walking half a street, Bai Ze found it amusing and explained, "The problem is that those points are simply not enough for me. Exchanging chapters of the 'Cantongqi' often requires more than a million points. I don't know when I'll ever accumulate enough points by accumulating them like this."

Although Bai Ze was penniless last year, now he has plenty of people to give him resources as long as he asks.

Although the pills from the Alchemy Society can earn a lot of points, these points are nothing to Bai Ze.

The cheapest chapter of "Cantongqi" costs a million points, a number that even Bai Ze finds exhausting.

Therefore, Bai Ze plans to continue relying on Mu Yaoguang. He'll have her generate points for him initially, and then earn them back later.

For martial arts experts, earning points is actually quite easy.

Of course, the expenses are also high.

Both elixirs and cultivation techniques are major sources of points.

Especially cultivation techniques and knowledge, which can be infinitely replicated, can be much more profitable than non-renewable resources.

Although the value of cultivation techniques far exceeds that of ordinary resources, what ordinary people consider extraordinary skills may not be so precious to those top-level leaders.

Compared to ordinary cultivation techniques, maintaining the entire Dongxia's points system, which drives numerous martial artists to carry out missions and explore other worlds, is far more important.

Luo Shui was clearly aware of Bai Ze's needs and immediately understood Bai Ze's predicament.

Her eyes darted around, concealing a hint of ill intent, and she said, "Actually, if you want to earn points, there's a way right now."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Bai Ze showed interest.

While it's possible to rely on powerful figures, Bai Ze still prefers to earn points on his own if he can.

It's not that he lacks self-respect; he just feels that this approach is more cost-effective.

“Of course, it’s the upcoming competition for Baiyujing,” Luo Shui said. “You don’t think that the competition for Baiyujing is only something that people from Yujing Martial Arts University care about, do you? Every September, there are betting odds all over the internet, betting on who will ultimately become the master of Baiyujing.”

"Besides these, there are various other competitions, and in fact, there are various parties setting up betting odds and conducting gambling. Ordinary viewers only see the passion of martial arts competitions, but those big shots are more concerned with the profits behind them."

Bai Ze: "...You've just extinguished the passion in my heart."

Winning a championship in a martial arts competition and making a name for oneself is an exciting thing, just like Bai Ze defending his title in the Youth Cup.

But after hearing what Luo Shui said, it became clear that behind all the passion was self-interest.

No matter the event, it is always intertwined with profit.

Even something as undisclosed as Bai Yujing's competition, a matter for Yujing Martial Arts University students themselves, can be linked to people and interests.

As long as there's enough hype, anything can be bet on.

Undoubtedly, the competition for Yujing Martial Arts University is incredibly exciting and will attract bettors from all walks of life.

"The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is in turmoil, all for gain. There's nothing to care about."

Luo Shui, however, said rather nonchalantly, then finally put on a malicious smile, "Every September, the Wanyi Gathering sets up betting odds on who will ultimately become the Lord of Baiyujing. Old Bai, would you like to see?"

Bai Ze looked at Luo Shui and finally understood what kind of medicine this guy was selling.

Wan Yi Zhi Ji is the online platform where Yun Yan previously hired assassins. It claims to be able to trade anything, and is both incredibly powerful and infamous.

Cybersecurity is essential for conducting transactions on such platforms.

Therefore, we still have to rely on the Luo River.

Although Bai Ze felt that his ability to make his words lawful could achieve something similar...
Luo Shui then raised her fair and slender neck and asked, "Aren't you curious why I mentioned the Collection of Ten Thousand Changes?"

It's because, although Wan Yi Zhi Ji is infamous, it is the most stable and secretive organization in the world.

Other betting platforms might experience situations where the bookmaker runs away or is wiped out, but Wan Yi Zhi Ji will never do that.

Therefore, Bai Ze could foresee how much capital could be gathered on the Wan Yi Zhi Ji betting platform.

and so--

Bai Ze replied rather calmly, "I'm curious."
