Lyra rested her chin on her hand and analyzed seriously, "Lynn provided a lot of information. The size and value of the magic stones from the three types of monsters are about the same. The key is how many they actually killed."

"I think the equipment Lynn and Chunji bought is pretty good. Plus, they weren't injured, but they had a lot of monster blood on them. I'd guess they killed quite a few."

Iska, however, questioned, "Really? A Level 1 newbie, is he really that good?"

48. Let's reveal the answer.

Ryu was well aware of Lynn's strength.

Ryu nodded and said with certainty, "Lynn and Haruhime cannot be treated as ordinary newcomers."

As she spoke, she glanced meaningfully at Kaguya.

Kaguya immediately glared back, snorted, and said, "I'll still bet 20,000 this time."

"Don't be impulsive!" Alexie quickly stopped her. "Let's calculate a roughly similar range first, and it's best to agree on a common one, so that neither of us will lose!"

Celty adjusted his glasses and offered his opinion:

"Although the chances are slim, we also need to consider the possibility of mutated monsters. If we encounter and successfully kill one of those, the profits will multiply."

"I don't think so!" Lyra immediately shook her head.

"Mutants are very rare. Moreover, both mutated goblins and mutated lizards are very difficult to deal with. Basically, a level 1 newbie simply cannot solve them on their own, let alone the even more troublesome mutated clown monster."

Alexandra nodded in agreement: "That's right. We'll set aside such low-probability events for now and only speculate on the most likely scenario."

The usually quiet therapist, Maru, gently looked at Lynn and said softly:

"Lynn and Chunji seem very confident. Could there be something we haven't considered?"

Upon hearing this, the others also turned to look towards the sofa.

Sure enough, they saw Lynn and Chunji looking at them with relaxed expressions, not at all like people who were about to lose the bet.

"It might be a scam." Lyra's expression also turned serious.

Celty calmly analyzed, "Psychologically speaking, this falls under the category of extreme pressure."

"Because of this bet, although it was just Lynn and Chunji against our group, from the perspective of bearing the consequences, we seniors were more afraid of losing, so our psychological burden was heavier, and we were more passive."

"The confidence they're displaying now is a form of pressure, an attempt to throw us into disarray."

"I don't care anymore!" Completely bewildered, Alexie slammed her hand on the table.

"So, if we include the materials that the three types of monsters might drop besides magic stones, then it should come to about 50,000 falies!"

"Captain, aren't you overestimating things?" Lila looked at her helplessly.

"The highest record for a new member of our Astria Familia in their first dungeon run is your 30,000 Fali. Although Lynn's swordsmanship is indeed remarkable, your magic back then was also very powerful. There's no way the two of them could have reached 50,000, right?"

Alexandra stared at her and asked, "Then how much will you say?"

“Thirty thousand is more reasonable,” Lyra said. “This is already the maximum possible amount, assuming we have a very high opinion of them.”

Celty nodded in agreement: "Statistically speaking, extremely rare accidents should indeed not be included in routine calculations."

Alexandra glanced at everyone. "What are your opinions?"

“I still want to guess 40,000!” Astai stubbornly raised her hand.

Others suggested that 30,000 would be more appropriate.

“No, forty thousand won’t do.” Lyra shook her head and proposed the final solution.

"It's best if everyone's guesses are between 20,000 and 30,000. That way, even if they only make 10,000, we'll still be within three times that amount, so it's not considered a loss."

Kaguya nodded and added, "You all know a thing or two about Lynn's strength; his income is definitely over ten thousand, so Lyra's suggestion is very reasonable."

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that everyone's eyes were focused on her.

Kaguya asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"Hehehe..." Alexie let out a malicious laugh.

"Kaguya, do you know some inside information? And are you deliberately trying to confuse the issue here?"

She deliberately drew out her words: "After all, you two are the 'closest' people right now..."

Kaguya's cheeks flushed instantly, and she said speechlessly, "I've never left the base! Besides, what I said was just supplementing Lila's words. You guys are a bunch of lunatics!"

Seeing this, Alexandra stopped joking and slammed her hand on the table, making her final decision.

"Then let's set the price between 20,000 and 30,000! That way, no matter the exact amount, as long as it's under 70,000, we're guaranteed to win!"

After finalizing the numbers, Alexie led her large group of "veteran team members" to Lynn and Chunji.

Lynn smiled and looked up: "So, how many did you guess?"

Alexandra announced triumphantly, "We've decided, we'll both guess 25,000 falies!"

"So you've completely unified?" Lynn laughed.

"I told you, anything less than three times the actual amount is a loss. Are you sure you don't want to diversify your investments? For example, one bet with a high probability and the other with a low probability, to avoid total annihilation?"

"Don't try to fool me!" Alexie scoffed. "Twenty-five thousand, we're going to win!"

Lynn's smile widened: "Alright, are you sure you're not going to change it? If you lose, don't blame me and Chunji for not giving you seniors any face."

“Celty just said it herself, this is called applying maximum pressure!” Alexie had a knowing look on her face. “This tactic no longer works on us!”

Lynn nodded and stood up from the sofa.

"Well."

"Let's reveal the answer!"

49. How is that possible?

Lynn placed the large money bag on the table.

Kaguya and Alexie recognized it immediately; it was the same one they had given to Lynn that morning.

And judging from its bulging appearance, it seems that not much money has been lost inside.

Alexandra grabbed the purse, untied the string, and peeked inside.

"So many are left?!"

Lyra curiously joined in, reaching in to count the large denominations. "Ones, tens, hundreds... My God, there are still twenty million Faris in here!"

Alexie's face instantly darkened, and she abruptly raised her head, glaring angrily at Lynn.

"You only spent five million?!"

Her voice was filled with barely suppressed anger, "Didn't I tell you to stop worrying about Farley and buy some top-of-the-line equipment?!"

Alexie was genuinely angry. They couldn't protect Lynn and Chunji all the time, and the best equipment was the most reliable guarantee.

Kaguya angrily questioned Lynn, "Didn't I tell you to buy the best defensive equipment? Why didn't you listen?"

Seeing their genuine concern, Lynn felt a warmth in her heart and said with a smile, "Calm down, I appreciate your efforts and your thoughtfulness."

"But I'm being cautious. At the upper echelons, for a novice adventurer like me, ten million is more than enough to buy equipment."

"What? Ten million?" Alexie was confused by his words.

She looked at Lynn and Chunji's brand-new equipment with suspicion. "I had Kaguya give you 25 million, so there's 20 million left. Didn't we only spend 5 million?"

"It's just for the two of you, so each of you only gets a little over two million!"

Lynn didn't say anything, but simply spread his arms to show off his protective gear.

He then drew the long sword from his waist, flicked the blade with his finger, and produced a clear sound.

It's like they're saying, "How much do you think this is?"

Alexie's gaze instantly and sharply shot towards Kaguya.

Kaguya's heart skipped a beat, her eyes darting around, and she chuckled dryly, "Heh, don't worry about such details..."

Ruri took a light step and moved closer to Kaguya's face, a slight smile on her lips;

"Twenty-five million becomes thirty million, Kaguya, you don't happen to have mastered a kind of magic that can conjure up Fari, do you?"

Kaguya didn't hear what Ryu was saying at all, and just nodded blindly and subconsciously, "Yes, yes, Ryu is right."

"Right about what!" Lila couldn't stand it anymore. "Kaguya, if you have magic that can turn money into cash, show us right now!"

Alexie stared intently at Kaguya, then suddenly realized, "You wouldn't... have given Lynn an extra five million fares out of your own pocket, would you?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Ryu's eyes. "You haven't been to the dungeon in a long time. Do you have five million fali in your secret stash?"

Kaguya's cheeks flushed red, and she stubbornly retorted.

"It's none of your business!"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Lynn stepped forward with a smile.

"Alright, Kaguya is my fiancée, it's normal for her to give me more money, it's perfectly normal."

"You...!" Kaguya felt that she was about to be teased by everyone again, so she quickly took two steps back and hid behind the crowd.

Lynn ignored her and took out another, smaller purse.

He weighed the money bag in his hand, making a crisp metallic clanging sound.

"This is all that Haruhime and I have gained today."

Before the words were finished,

Alexandra rushed over like a gust of wind and snatched the small purse away.

She slammed the purse heavily on the table, and everyone immediately gathered around.

The money in the bag was poured out, clattering and spilling all over the table.

Laila and Celty quickly took stock.

"One million three hundred and thirty thousand fali!"

When this number was announced, everyone had only one thought.

That's impossible!

Lyra was the first to turn her head, looking at Lynn with a suspicious gaze.

"Including Kaguya's, it totaled 30 million. Did you only spend a little over 8 million, and then take out a little over 1 million and put it here, pretending it was earned in the dungeon today?"

Alexandra crossed her arms, looking like she knew it all along.

"A newbie at level 1, even with exceptional talent, can earn over a million Fali on their first day in the dungeon? That's absolutely impossible!"

She puffed out her chest and declared loudly, "You know, even though I was so brave back then, I only earned 30,000 on my first trip to the dungeon!"

“Yeah, Lynn, winning the bet like that is a bit cheating!” Iska chimed in.

Although Leyana and Maru didn't say anything, their expressions were full of confusion.

Celty adjusted his glasses and calmly analyzed, "Statistically speaking, this is beyond the normal range, unless..."

Just then,

Kaguya stepped forward to interrupt, "Don't you all know what kind of person Lynn is?"

Ryuya said calmly, "I believe he wouldn't do such a thing."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt that it made some sense.

Alexandra scratched her head. "It's not that I doubt Lynn's character, it's just that it's impossible."

“It just doesn’t make sense!” Laila spread her hands, looking puzzled.

"One million three hundred and thirty thousand? How is that possible?!"

50. You are my followers now.

“Why not?” Celty pushed up her glasses and spoke calmly.

"If Kaguya and Ryu hadn't interrupted me in their haste, I would have said it already."

She cleared her throat. "One million three hundred and thirty-three thousand falies, there's only one possibility."

"That means Lynn and Chunji encountered a mutant and obtained rare materials."

"Based on this amount, neither the mutated goblin nor the mutated dungeon gecko could do it."

"There's only one that's close enough, and that's the mutated clown monster. Its rare materials can sell for about a million falies."
