94: Chapter 94 This is what you call making money fast
When a person is speechless, they are truly speechless.
Didn't they say Old Granny had no followers left? Didn't they say this round was a guaranteed win? How did a freebie turn into a charity match!
What a joke. They couldn't even beat him with the 400,000-strong Undead Scourge earlier; with his current setup, this is just a pure giveaway.
"Uh, I won't bother you! I'm leaving, haha! I forfeit, I forfeit!"
The system confirmed the forfeiture, and the Lizardman was instantly teleported out.
The livestream chat completely exploded.
The scrolling text filling the screen was so fast it made people dizzy.
"Who the hell said Old Granny had no followers? Come out and get beaten up!"
"This number is simply ridiculous! Amazing, my Old Granny!"
"The Divine Kingdom doesn't look that big either, where did all these followers pop out from?"
"The ecological structure definitely has issues. How are they feeding such a large number?"
"I'm not betting anymore! Give me back my money!"
"The wind on the rooftop is so strong, can someone make some room?"
"I've realized it! Follow Old Granny's bets, and you'll get a villa by the sea! Next round, I'm going all-in on Old Granny!"
Gu Han ignored the commotion outside and scanned his account balance.
The 500 million credits he rolled into the pot last round had now become 2 billion.
His assets had quadrupled.
"Why am I still selling herbs? Now that's fast money—2 billion a day." He muttered, then unhesitatingly bet all 2 billion on his own victory and set it to auto-bet.
The system prompted the countdown for the third defense battle, and the challenger's ID flashed on the public screen.
Before the countdown even finished, and before the betting pool could even open, the system popped up a notification.
[Challenger forfeits, defending champion wins.]
At this moment, the contestants' private communication channel was in an uproar.
"Who drew the lot just now? If you don't have the strength, don't try to challenge the champion!"
"If you're a noob, just hide in the back and wait for an opportunity! Don't come here and feed the opponent!"
"Get lost! Let me go! Old Granny is mine!"
...
The fourth battle draw ended, and the challenger's ID was [Scammed of 2.5 Yuan in Online Love].
The teleportation light shone, revealing a well-equipped army of Orcs.
At the very front were 30,000 Tier 3 Shield-bearers over two meters tall, holding heavy alloy shields.
Behind them were 10,000 Tier 4 Orc Archers.
Having learned from the previous contestant's experience, they were all wearing gas masks, and a row of Wind-Swallowing Beasts were still being sacrificed to suck up the poisonous fog.
[Scammed of 2.5 Yuan in Online Love] immediately activated the Divine Lord skill [Two Birds with One Stone].
This allowed allied attacks to ricochet and deal damage to nearby enemies after hitting their initial target.
The 10,000 Tier 4 Archers drew their custom longbows in unison.
The sound of bowstrings tightening merged into one, piercingly loud.
With 10,000 arrows and the skill's buff, if they all hit, it would instantly deal the damage of 20,000 arrows.
In just one encounter, Gu Han lost over 10,000 Ant-men, and only then did he realize the effect of the opponent's skill.
If he let the opponent maintain a stable output for a few dozen rounds, his 500,000 Ant-men would be completely wiped out.
Although the War-Pattern Shield Armor had astonishing defensive power, it could only withstand one hit from the Tier 4 Archers at most.
If the opposing Orcs also possessed the Berserk bloodline trait, the lethality would double.
Gu Han immediately ordered the Black-Armored Ant-men to ascend rapidly to distract the Archers, while also dispersing their positions as much as possible to harass them with arrows from above.
The defensive buildings also turned, firing dense volleys of acid arrows directly at the Orc Archer formation.
The Orc Shield-bearers reacted extremely quickly, raising their shields high to piece together a flawless metal dome above the Archers' heads.
The rain of arrows clattered against the alloy shields; while it couldn't cause damage, it greatly restricted the Archers' ability to output damage.
With the Archers hiding under the shields, they couldn't aim at all.
Orcs are just stupid! With their Transcendent Tier 4 physical stats, they are hard to injure with ordinary blades, but when facing incoming arrows, even if they know it won't cause much damage, they still instinctively dodge and defend.
The Shield-Armored Ant army on the surface connected head-to-tail, curling their bodies up with their outer shells interlocking, while the Ant-fist Shrimp-men skillfully entered the balls, turning them into giant spherical formations over 100 meters in diameter in the blink of an eye.
The viewers in the livestream were dumbfounded.
"What is that?"
"Why does that look a bit like a Shield-Armored Armadillo? But isn't it way too big compared to that!"
"Holy crap! Old Granny's followers can combine?"
The moment the giant shield-armored spheres formed, Gu Han did not order them to charge immediately.
Because ripples visible to the naked eye were already appearing in the air; the Hidden-Armor Ant-Man had long since infiltrated the Orc camp.
The gas masks prevented them from entering their bodies, so all 200,000 Hidden-Armor Ant-men attached themselves to the Orcs' surface armor, lighting up their war patterns and releasing all the electrical energy stored within their bodies without reservation.
Lightning flashed everywhere, and the area ahead was instantly surging with electricity.
Crackle—
The air rioted as blue-white electric arcs jumped and connected crazily between the Orcs.
The intense current pierced directly through the alloy armor and drilled into the Orcs' bodies.
"Urgh, ahhh!"
Piercing screams echoed across the battlefield.
The 30,000 Tier 3 Shield-bearers couldn't withstand this kind of high-voltage electric shock at all.
Their massive bodies twisted and convulsed violently, and they could no longer hold onto their heavy shields, which clattered to the ground one after another.
Some of the weaker Orcs collapsed directly to the ground, their bodies curling up unnaturally, with the ground beneath them becoming soaked.
The previously unbreakable shield wall formation instantly collapsed.
The Tier 4 Archers had stronger constitutions and could barely manage to stand by propping themselves up with their longbows, but their muscles were still spasming uncontrollably, and they couldn't even muster the strength to draw their bowstrings.
The lightning subsided.
"Now is the time, roll over them."
Gu Han's voice echoed over the Divine Kingdom.
Over a hundred giant shield-armored spheres rolled and crushed forward with a roar; many of the Shield-bearers who had collapsed on the ground didn't even have time to scream before they were crushed into a bloody pulp.
The Hidden-Armor Ant-men took the opportunity to stab in with their poisonous stingers, harvesting the wounded.
The giant shield-armored spheres sped along, rolling over the Shield-bearers' position and crashing into the Archer phalanx without any obstruction.
The sounds of bones breaking rose one after another.
The Orcs' screams were drowned out by the dull sounds of impact.
[Scammed of 2.5 Yuan in Online Love] stood at the edge of the Divine Kingdom, eyes blood-red, roaring hysterically.
"Berserk! Activate Bloodline Berserk for me!"
Blinding red light suddenly erupted from the bodies of the dying Orc Archers, and their size expanded at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Gu Han looked at the Orcs who had fallen into a Berserk state on the battlefield and raised an eyebrow.
As expected, anyone who could make it this far was no ordinary person.
The spherical armor was hacked apart by the Tier 4 Orcs' giant axes, and the Ant-fist Shrimp-men leaped out from within the spherical armor.
The tribe's stone carvings had records of such crazed enemies, and their ancestors had long since devised countermeasures; they skillfully took turns attacking the Orcs' knees, and once they fell, they fiercely smashed at their skulls.
