526: Chapter 574 Competing to Give Out Perks?

Facing the doubts of the members, Er Ha, who was showing the back of his head, simply replied indifferently, "Heaven's secrets must not be revealed."

After saying that, he fell silent, appearing completely unfathomable.

However, this actually intimidated the members present, and they couldn't help but look at An Ke, wanting to confirm the truth.

The viewers in the live broadcast room outside were the same, all discussing whether Er Ha had secretly obtained some kind of ability that they didn't know about.

An Ke couldn't help but glance at Er Ha, speechless in his heart.

This guy didn't have any ability; he was just putting on an act.

An Ke didn't bother with it and instead looked up at the sky.

At this time, the "Mercury People" emerging from the [teleportation channel] also noticed An Ke's group. This was normal; after all, it was hard not to notice such a large city right beneath their feet.

They stared at An Ke's group from across the distance.

Meanwhile, inside the meeting room of the 99th Realm.

The Azure Noble looked at the alien civilization appearing before An Ke's territory and couldn't help but feel amused.

"Hey, hey, hey! General Fama, you are truly unlucky."

"I originally thought you could hold on for a few more days, but I didn't expect you to be finished so soon."

Bets between Nobles are clearly regulated when both parties use their own "chips" as stakes.

Whichever side's "chips" are gone first is the loser.

There is no need for the "chips" of both sides to fight each other to determine the winner.

After all, the Nobles cannot interfere with the actions of the contestants within the [Game], and it's possible the chips of the two might not even meet until the end of the [Elimination Round].

Therefore, they can only adopt this method.

This method not only tests the strength of the "chips" but also their luck.

From the Azure Noble's perspective, General Fama's luck was currently very poor.

Not only was his chip's overall strength evaluation low, but he also encountered another civilization right at the start.

The current stage is the "Elimination Round," where every civilization is an enemy to the others; it would be strange if they didn't fight upon meeting.

"The C-rank Mercury State Race is two levels higher than F-rank."

"As long as a conflict breaks out, the Mercury State Race will inevitably crush and annihilate An Ke," the Azure Noble said with a beaming smile.

"However, there are still quite a few contestants from the Blue Star Civilization, which can be considered your advantage."

"I was wrong before; if you're lucky, you might be able to hold on for a few more days, haha."

Azure's words were full of mockery.

The "chips" of both sides are said to be promising contestants, but after ten stages, each civilization has undergone integration.

Therefore, a "chip" can also be seen as a civilization.

If An Ke is killed by the Mercury State Race, General Fama hasn't lost; he only fails when all other human contestants have died.

However, when the Nobles look at the Blue Star Civilization, they only pay attention to An Ke, because the abilities and technology of the contestants from other nations are simply not worth looking at.

It's like modern people looking at primitive humans holding spears.

In a word, they can be ignored.

At least An Ke's territory looks decent and gives the impression of having some strength.

Many surrounding Nobles were watching the show.

Some were even lamenting why the Azure Noble had such good luck to pick up such a huge bargain.

If only it were them.

Fama had sharp ears; upon hearing this, he immediately looked at that Noble and spoke directly: "Yishu Noble, come, come! Since you also want to bet with me, I'll bet with you."

Yishu Noble couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Noble Fama, and then sneered:

"Fama, all your resources are already on the gambling table. What do you have left to bet with me now?"

Once a Noble bet is established, their wagered assets are frozen by the laws. When the bet ends, all frozen assets will go directly to the winner.

Even Nobles who are god-level existences cannot violate the Laws of the Universe.

The laws are invisible and intangible, but they truly exist.

"I don't have resources myself, but my other friends do," Fama said as a matter of course.

Then he looked at Tike and the other Nobles and said, "Which of you wants to place a bet with this guy?"

Azure, sitting nearby, almost burst out laughing. "Fama, do you think your friends are brainless brutes like you?"

The overall strength evaluation of the Blue Star Civilization is only F-rank. Who would use such trashy "chips" to bet with other Nobles like Fama?

Isn't that equivalent to giving away resources for nothing?

Yishu Noble and the other Nobles shared the same thought as Azure.

They thought Fama was just there to be a clown.

That such a "talent" appeared among the Nobles was a misfortune for their reputation.

However, what surprised all the Nobles present was that the four Nobles—Tike, Dainike, Qieno, and Noble—actually expressed their willingness to start a bet with Yishu Noble.

All the Nobles were stunned.

What was wrong with these Nobles?

Rushing to give resources to other Nobles? Could it be they were planning to give out handouts?

The Nobles couldn't understand, but Number 1379 and the Chief Steward, standing behind them, understood perfectly.

The reason Tike and the other Nobles were scrambling to start a bet with Yishu Noble was to make a fortune off him.

How could the Mercury State Race, which had a C-rank overall strength evaluation just like the Thousand Changes Race, be a match for An Ke?

Even if An Ke didn't take action, he still had Kuku of the Fungus Race by his side, whose current overall strength evaluation was B-rank.

Once the bet started, it would be a guaranteed win.

After the incident with the Azure Noble, Tike and the other Nobles helped the Chief Steward and Number 1379 block their thoughts.

Now, the other Nobles could not read the thoughts of Number 1379 and the Chief Steward, so the two were thinking without restraint.

Tike and the other Nobles couldn't agree, and finally, Dainike made a choice.

Her feminine voice said airily, "How about this?"

"Yishu Noble, how about you bet against all of us?"

"Each of us will put up a portion of resources, and you will put up a portion yourself, then we'll start this bet."

"Since the resources are of equal value, if you win, you can take the resources from all of us."

Yishu Noble fell into silence for a moment, not saying a word.

He began to realize something was wrong. How could Nobles like Tike give him resources for nothing?

Everyone had reached their current achievements step by step; they couldn't be fools.

Furthermore, a Noble is the crystallization of an entire civilization gathered together.

There might be fools among individuals, but an entire civilization united could not possibly be foolish.

This means Tike and the others think they will definitely win; otherwise, this would be impossible...

But what trump cards could a contestant from a civilization with an F-rank overall strength evaluation have?

No matter what they have, it's impossible to turn the tables against a civilization opponent two levels higher.

Yishu Noble then turned his gaze toward the other members around An Ke.

After a careful inspection, Yishu Noble suddenly burst out laughing.

"Fine, fine! So you were all waiting for me here."

"I really didn't expect that within an F-rank civilization, two civilizations would actually be mixed in..."
