Chapter 224: Million-Dollar Bet
"How could this happen?" Chen Guan frowned slightly, many thoughts flashing through his mind: "Is the Eighth King too strong, or did the Lotus Monastery Master miscalculate?"

"It shouldn't be like this. If it were me, how could I let someone who had no chance of winning challenge the Eighth King to take his inner elixir without absolute certainty? But Xiao Qinghua did lose. I used to think that the owner of Lotus Temple changed Xiao Qinghua's good fate, or lent her good fate so that she would definitely win. Now it seems that this is not the case. How should this matter be resolved?" Chen Guan narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched Xiao Qinghua about to be taken away by the black-clothed crew.

"Eighth King, I want to make a bet with you, and the prize is her." Chen Guan walked down the stairs and said to the statue of the Eighth King who was about to turn around and return to the throne.

The Eight Great Kings statue turned around, glanced at Chen Guan, and said woodenly, "She is the prize I won, not my bet."

"So, we can't gamble, right?" Chen Guan asked loudly, staring into the eyes of the statue.

"Yes, but if you want to take her away, winning just one game is not enough. You can only take her away if you can win eight games in a row," said the Eighth King.

"Since it's a fair gambling game, I need to win eight games in a row to win a prize. So, do I have to lose eight games in a row before you can keep me?" Chen Guan asked back.

"Of course not. She can only be used as a special reward for winning eight games in a row. When you win each game, you can choose the prize you want normally." The statue said lightly.

Seeing that the statue was so calm, Chen Guan knew that it was impossible for him to take Xiao Qinghua away by winning a game. In front of other people, Chen Guan did not ask any more questions.

Chen Guan didn't ask, but the statue explained, "If everyone were like you, using my winnings as stakes, then what would be the point of this bet? Everyone could follow your example and bring their own people to gamble with me. So if you want to take your people away from here, you must win eight games in a row. The same goes for everyone else. It's fair and just."

Everyone then understood why the Eighth King had made such harsh demands.

If he could really take people away with him by just gambling on one round, then those powerful people could bring more people with them as insurance.

But winning one game is already so difficult, winning eight games in a row is really too difficult.

Leng Zhe didn't know what the relationship between Chen Guan and Xiao Qinghua was, so he didn't say much.

"Okay, let's bet." Chen Guan pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

The remaining people and crew members all looked at Chen Guan. Winning one game was already extremely difficult, and winning eight games in a row was simply impossible.

Among those who had won the bet, two people were standing in a corner of the stands, discussing Chen Guan's acceptance of the bet.

"I didn't expect that there really is love in this world that can last forever. I'm starting to believe in love again." The wavy woman with glasses and a hat exclaimed.

"Everyone has been young and impulsive. He won't be as calm as he is now when he loses. He is just too young and doesn't know how serious the consequences will be. As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. He will only be afraid when a piece of his meat is really bitten off." said the man next to him.

"Gushan, we are young people now. Young people should act like young people. Don't always be so old-fashioned and decadent." The woman said dissatisfiedly.

"I've lived for thousands of years, and you want me to act as young as you do. I really can't do it. My brain doesn't allow me to be so superficial." Gushan said lightly.

"Tsk, if I hadn't seen you buying action figures the day before yesterday, you might have actually believed it." The man in purple robe said with a curled lip.

Gushan's face flushed instantly. Luckily, he was also wearing sunglasses and a mask. However, he immediately said, "How can a figure be superficial? It's an elegant art collection."

"Tsk, it's just the baby of an adult giant baby." The man in purple robe had such a poisonous mouth that it almost broke Gushan's defense.

"Hmph, I won't reason with idiots." Gushan said.

"That's because you're being unreasonable."

"you're right."

"..."

"Boring." Seeing Gushan's attitude, Zipao no longer wanted to argue. He turned to look at Chen Guan and said, "Do you think he can win?" "It's impossible to win. No matter how deep his good karma is, he can't win eight games in a row." Gushan said.

"I think this person might win." The man in purple robe looked at Chen Guan and said, this time without a joking tone.

"Why do you think so?" asked Gushan.

"From the look in his eyes, his words and his behavior, I can tell that he's definitely not the type of reckless person who acts without a purpose. Since he agreed, he must have a winning strategy in mind," said the man in purple robe.

Gushan sneered, "The Eighth King's gambling game is essentially a game of good karma. He trades his good karma for something, and wins or loses. No matter how deep his good karma is, it can't sustain him winning eight times in a row. I see no good face on his face, and no auspicious aura about him. I'm afraid he can't even win a single round. Unless he knows the truth about the gambling game and wants a very small stake."

"How about we make a bet? If he wins the first round, how about you give me the prize you just won?" said the purple robe with a smile.

"No gambling." Gushan said indifferently.

"Then you are admitting that you made a mistake in judgment and didn't know the person well." said the purple robed man.

"He will lose, but I won't bet." Lonely Mountain remains the same.

"Tsk, I can't afford to lose." Zipao was not interested in arguing with Gushan anymore.

Inside the arena, the statue said to Chen Guan, "Tell me the first prize you want."

Everyone was listening attentively, wanting to know what kind of prize this man who actually wanted to win the eight big turtle games wanted.

"One million." Chen Guan said lightly.

Everyone was stunned, thinking they had misheard. Someone came to the Eight Kings to gamble, but actually just asked for money, and the amount was as little as one million.

"Is this guy crazy? He's a master of secret techniques, and he's risking himself with one million?"

Leng Zhe was stunned at first, then seemed to have figured something out, with an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face.

Gu Shan said coldly, "It only costs one million, and it consumes a lot of good karma. Even if we can win this round, we will lose the next one."

"Xiao Shanshan, it's not that simple." The man in purple robe looked at Chen Guan with interest, as if he had discovered something interesting.

If she just thought it was interesting just now, now she is really interested in Chen Guan.

"What do you mean?" Gushan frowned.

"He shouldn't want one million." While the man in purple robe was speaking, Chen Guan also spoke again.

"If I win, I will give you one million and you have to accept it. This is the prize I want." Chen Guan expressed his meaning completely.

Those who don't know the subtleties of this are dumbfounded at this moment. They have never seen such a person who gambles with his life and even gives money to others after winning. What kind of idiot can do such a thing?

However, the statues of the Eight Great Kings looked at Chen Guan without saying a word for a while because of this seemingly stupid decision.

"Sure enough..." The corner of the man in purple robe's mouth rose.

"So that's how it is. He actually knows the background of the Eight Kings' gambling. Using financial losses to build good relationships is a good idea." Gushan said, "But he's still a bit stupid. Since he knows the truth about the Eight Kings' gambling, he can just gamble with something worthless or of low value. He even has to pay the Eight Kings a million. That's a bit too much."
