Chapter 2 - First Signs of Budding Talent (Part 1/3) (1/2)

“War Angel has obtained victory through technical knockout….” The voice of a beauty, created digitally, sounded out and gently entered the ears of every spectator.

Everyone was stupefied in place. Six Solar Palms had just seized a bit of an upper hand just now. How was he knocked out by War Angel in a moment’s instant?

Lucky! Surely this Expert Mouth-Shooter only won the bets due to luck! A few gamblers cast sidelong glances in succession at Qin Fen, who too had the same shocked expression spawn within his eyes, ascertaining their conjecture even further.

Qin Fen’s eyes were bulging wide open. He gazed at the victory results in the middle of the fighting stage, a bit afraid of believing it. How quickly Six Solar Palms lost and how War Angel obtained victory all fell within his predictions. Nothing differed in even the slightest!

The system held a hundred fifty dollars for the bets. Then the system removed fifteen dollars as fees, and the remaining hundred and thirty five dollars were all deposited into Qin Fen’s account in the Sky Martial Battle Network.

A hundred and thirty five dollars! Qin Fen was so excited that his two hands started to shake. The losses from missing today’s work had been earned back in an instant, and he had earned way extra! Way extra!

“Thank-you. Thank-you,” thanked Qin Fen as he transfered the entirety of the hundred and thirty five dollars from the Sky Martial Battle Network account to his personal bank account.

Only when the money entered his bank card did it truly belong to him! This was what Qin Fen always believed.

Thank-you? The few people who lost money felt the sincere expression of thanks to be ear-piercing. Was he provoking them?

The very first person who sought to bet with Qin Fen had his eyebrows slowly furrow together in the center of his forehead. It wasn’t shameful to lose a bet in this place, but losing a bet against a little cowardly devil who didn’t dare to fight was truly shameful.

Te few others who lost also had utterly dark expressions. The were normally subjected to Qin Fen’s ridicule, and now Qin Fen had won bets against them during this fun chatter.

After the bank transfer was completed, Qin Fen earnestly waited for the next fight to begin. A single fight was not enough to write fight commentary about. He had to wait for another fight.

“Expert Mouth-Shooter! I’ll make another bet with you on a fight!” said the very first person who lost money in a tone that bubbled with fury.

“Fifty bucks again?” Qin Fen’s heart stirred. He had won a hundred thirty five dollars, and this served as his baseline. It didn’t matter whether he would win or lose in the next won. He wouldn’t suffer real losses, and perhaps there was the chance to make more money.

“I accept!” Losing money was a small matter. Losing face was a big matter! Those who had lost money before bluntly agreed.

“You guys still want to bet?” Qin Fen faced the others. Fifty bucks per bet and a lot of bets, this was a chance that had to be seized.

“I’ll bet!”

“I’ll also bet!”

“Bring it! I bet!”

If these people, having being bullied by Expert Mouth-Shooter for so long, didn’t respond to today’s provocation, then they truly would lose all face.

Qin Fen’s heart stirred when he saw three more people lay down bets. He would make two hundred dollars if he wins! Even after fees, he would still make a hundred and eighty dollars! That was over a thousand and two hundred RMB!

One second. Ten seconds. Thirty seconds. Two minutes….

In the past, another fight would begin once one fight ended, but today happened to be this quiet. Five minutes passed, and there actually wasn’t anybody who entered the stage to fight. Those who were gambling became a bit restless.

Ten minutes passed. This was a bizarre situation. The fighting stage had never been idle for over five minutes in the past. It was actually idle for ten minutes already.

“No one?” Qin Fen was a bit disappointed, “Then I’ll first log off. I have stuff I need to do tomorrow….”
