Around two in the morning.
"Ta Ta Ta…"
Footsteps broke the silence.
" Hahaha... It's finally here."
"Bastard, it's the middle of the night. Can't you bunch of gamblers be quiet?”
"What are you sleeping for? You'll sleep forever after you die.”
"Get lost!"
“……”
"Aha ~~" Qiao Ji opened his eyes helplessly and yawned.
Were these energetic gladiators going to make a scene in the middle of the night?
He turned his head and looked outside the iron fence. There were two people in black robes and masks in the distance.
Two masked men, one holding a parchment to record, the other holding a sack, stopped in front of the cages.
"They are placing their bets." Diana had slipped out of the cell and stood outside Qiao Ji's cell.
"Are the two of them from that Chamber of Commerce? No one cares?" Qiao Ji suddenly felt a little too free.
"No, they don't belong to any Chamber of Commerce.”
Diana shook her head and said in a deep voice," They belong to the underground forces and run businesses that can't be put on the surface.”
"I see." Qiao Ji nodded in understanding.
No matter where it was, there were demands and transactions. As long as there were benefits to be gained, there would be people who would dare to take the risk.
"Do you want to bet?" Diana used two slender fingers to pull out a small cloth bag from the Abyss Crack under her collar.
Qiao Ji glanced at it and turned his head. He shrugged and said," I don't have a single copper corner. I can't place a bet."”
"I can lend it to you." Diana smiled and weighed the cloth bag in her hand. The sound of metal clashing could be heard.
"If I lose, I can't afford it."
Qiao Ji looked back at the charming woman in front of him and changed his tone." If you really want to lend it to me, then I'll lend it to you."”
"Of course…"
Diana was just about to agree when she realized something." Wait, don't tell me you're really going to bet?"
She had only asked casually and did not expect the young man to give such an answer.
After all, did a newcomer who had just entered the cage know who to bet on? He didn't even know what popular person it was.
"What else?" Qiao Ji suspected that this woman was teasing him.
His handsome face was really a sin.
"You have to consider it carefully." Dinah pursed her lips and reluctantly poured out a gold coin from the pouch.
She had only saved a dozen gold coins. If she lost a single gold coin, she would lose sleep for a night.
"I bet that I will win." Qiao Ji reached out his palm.
"We can place our bets this way." Diana suddenly put the gold coin in the young man's hand.
This was because these gold coins were also earned from betting on herself.
If he lost, there was a high chance that he would lose his life. He definitely could not get it back.
"Thanks." Qiao Ji knew this, which was why he wanted to borrow money.
"They're here. You can ask them about your opponent.”Diana reminded.
"Understood." Qiao Ji had this plan.
The two masked men finally arrived in front of Qiao Ji, their eyes fixed on Diana.
"Crimson Valkyrie, are you going to place a bet today?”The masked man with the quill asked.
"Are there any popular candidates today? Also, who won yesterday's fight?" Diana crossed her arms and asked indifferently.
"Iron Wall won yesterday."
The masked man said in a hoarse voice,"The only popular candidate today is Swift Fist, who has won 52 matches in a row. If he wins, he will pay 10000 copper coins to 1 copper coin. If he loses, he will pay 1 copper coin to 100 copper coins.”
The odds of winning a gladiator were very low, unless someone took a gamble.
"Tch, you really paid too little." Diana glanced at the two of them in disdain.
He only earned one copper horn for betting one gold coin. If something went wrong, he would suffer a huge loss.
"These are the odds set by the higher-ups.”the masked man hurriedly explained.
The two of them did not dare to provoke each other. Otherwise, even if they were beaten to death, they would die in vain. After all, their lives could not compare.
"Forget it, I won't gamble tonight." Diana's interest was low.
She originally wanted to earn more money just in case she really had to escape. Only then would she have money to live on.
" Phew..." The masked man heaved a sigh of relief and turned to ask Qiao Ji," Gladiator, do you want to bet?"”
"I want to know Qiao Ji's opponent and the odds.”Qiao Ji asked.
"Oh, this Qiao Ji is a newbie. His luck is really bad.”
The masked man opened his mouth and said this. Clearly, he had said this to many people before.
"His opponent is Violent Bear, who has won 26 matches in a row.
"If you win, it's 1 copper corner to 100 copper corners. If you lose, it's 10000 copper corners to 1 copper corner.，”
After the masked man finished his introduction, he asked," Excuse me, do you want to place a bet?”
"Bet on Qiao Ji winning." Qiao Ji expressionlessly handed over a gold coin.
"You? Do you really want to bet on yourself?" The masked man had already recognized the youth in front of him as Qiao Ji.
After all, the information stated that the peerlessly beautiful young man named Qiao Ji was an elven demi-human with green pupils in his left eye and blue pupils in his right eye.
"Yes." Qiao Ji nodded.
"One gold, place your bet."
The masked man took the gold coins and happily wrote on the goatskin paper. Of course, he was happy to earn money.
There were two copies, each with a red thumbprint.
"I hope to see you again tomorrow night." The masked man prepared to move to the next cell.
In their opinion, Qiao Ji was doomed. If he could still be seen tomorrow night, it meant that he was heavily injured and lucky to be alive. If he couldn't see him, he would have died in the colosseum.
Moreover, Wild Bear was a famous gladiator who killed his opponents. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to obtain the title with only 26 consecutive wins.
The chances of survival were not high unless Wild Bear did not kill him, but that was impossible.
"Wait…I want to bet on Qiao Ji too.”Diana stopped the two people who were about to leave.
"Ah?" The two masked men were stunned and asked hesitantly," Crimson Valkyrie, are you really betting on Qiao Ji's victory?”
Was he going to earn another gold coin for nothing?
"What's wrong? I can't bet?" Diana's sharp purple eyes stared at the two of them.
"No, that's not what we meant.”
The masked man quickly waved his hand and picked up a pen to write," I'll take one gold and place my bet."”
"Here." Diana threw out a gold coin and took the receipt.
"Yes." The masked man took the gold coin and walked away in small steps.
Qiao Ji watched the two masked men leave.
He turned to Diana, who was standing outside the iron fence, and said softly," You don't have to waste a gold coin.”
Whether he could win or not, Qiao Ji had never seen an opponent and was not sure. Betting on himself to win was just a chance.
"I'm willing."
Diana flung her long red hair and returned to the cage with a pout.
"Really…Qiao Ji couldn't help but laugh.
This woman was quite cute.
