The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

"Finally, I've mastered it!"

In the single training room number 11, Lu Yuan clenched his fists and a smile appeared on his lips.

After more than half a month of continuous practice, he finally mastered the two Xuan-level combat skills, Hundred Steps Divine Fist and Coiling Dragon Golden Bell Cover.

I just tested it, and the effect is even better than most top-grade Xuan-rank combat skills! If it weren't for the limitations of Xuan-rank combat skills themselves, it could even rival Di-rank skills.

With these two combat skills as a foundation, Lu Yuan felt even more confident in dealing with Zhou Buyi.

"Um?"

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Lu Yuan was about to leave the training room when a man appeared at the door and blocked his way.

"Lu Yuan, right?"

The man sized up Lu Yuan, chuckled, and then spoke.

"My name is Sun Youming. I've been in the team for two years and have the cultivation level of the Fifth Meridian. I have something to tell you."

"matter?"

Lu Yuan also glanced at the other person; he did not recognize Sun Youming.

In fact, having been in the team for almost a month, Lu Yuan didn't know many of the other members of the Special Operations Team.

After all, he's busy with his own things every day and has neither the time nor the interest to get involved.

"Yes, there's something I need to tell you."

Sun Youming, with an arrogant expression, continued.

"The end-of-month betting battle is in a week. I will challenge you then. After you accept, we'll exchange a couple of blows, and you can simply admit defeat. I'll at most give you some minor injuries, nothing serious. As for the stakes, you and Shen Qiubing must have earned quite a few points, so let's bet three hundred, and I'll leave you with some left over."

"Um?"

Lu Yuan frowned slightly; he couldn't quite understand what he was saying.

With only one week left until the end of the month, according to the special operations team's rules, a betting contest will take place between team members.

There are two types of betting: random matching and free challenges.

Once a free challenge is initiated by one party, the other party can refuse. However, with random matching, regardless of who you are matched with, you must accept, and the stakes are determined by the organizers based on the circumstances of both parties, making it extremely unpredictable.

Lu Yuan already knew these rules.

Judging from Sun Youming's words, he will challenge Lu Yuan and make Lu Yuan deliberately admit defeat.

Putting aside the fact that Lu Yuan didn't take Sun Youming seriously at all, given his limited strength, he could have easily refused the challenge; why would he have given Sun Youming three hundred points for nothing?

"Kid, don't be ungrateful. I'm trying to help you!"

Seeing that Lu Yuan didn't speak, assuming he didn't understand the implications, Sun Youming snorted coldly and continued.

"With your skill level, you're guaranteed to lose no matter who you're matched with in the random match! If the bet is your entire fortune, you'll be left with nothing!"

"This doesn't seem to concern you."

"They're newbies after all; they don't know the hidden mechanisms involved."

Sun Youming snorted coldly and continued speaking.

"But if you've already placed a bet and lost a lot of points, the odds for the random bets won't be too high, at least not enough to leave you with nothing."

"so what?"

"So that means if you lose to me first, and then lose again in a random match, you can still retain a small amount of points!"

"So, I should thank you?"

"You're welcome. We're teammates, helping each other is only right."

Sun Youming waved his hand with a smile, looking very righteous.

Lu Yuan chuckled to himself. Damn it, I've run into an idiot.

Clearly, Sun Youming had taken him for a fool.

He could directly refuse Sun Youming, after all, even if Sun Youming challenged him at that time, he could still refuse.

But that seems too boring.

"But……"

Lu Yuan scratched his head, looking troubled.

"I have more than 300 points."

"more than!"

Sun Youming's eyes widened in surprise, followed by excitement, and he grabbed Lu Yuan's hand.

"How many points do you have?"

"Over nine hundred, almost a thousand."

"Nine……"

Sun Youming's eyes widened again, his eyes almost bursting with excitement.

I thought he was just an easy target, but I never expected him to be such a fat lamb!

He couldn't help but think how wonderful Shen Qiubing's thighs were.

Lu Yuan, a newcomer with little ability, could not have earned so many points if he hadn't clung to Shen Qiubing's coattails.

"Alright! I'll bet nine hundred!"

Thinking of this, Sun Youming nodded excitedly.

Lu Yuan nodded, but asked a question with some hesitation.

"Do you have 900 points? How can you gamble if you can't come up with them?"

"Well……"

Sun Youming was taken aback. Lu Yuan had indeed guessed right; he didn't have that many points right now.

But if he doesn't have enough points and can only gamble four or five hundred, wouldn't that be equivalent to losing four or five hundred?

"Don't worry! I have a plan!"

"Alright then."

Lu Yuan nodded, giving a seemingly innocent grin.

Sun Youming gave Lu Yuan a few more instructions, patted him on the shoulder, and quickly left.

Clearly, he went there to borrow points.

Points can be borrowed!

Of course, you have to pay it back, and if the relationship is not very good, you usually won't lend it for free; you'll usually agree on an interest rate.

Some people take advantage of the situation and might even double the interest.

Lu Yuan glanced at Sun Youming, who had disappeared around the corner of the corridor, and smiled slightly again.

What a fool.

However, he did have a thousand points before, but after exchanging them for combat skills, he only has 12 points left. How is he going to come up with 900 points to gamble with Sun Youming?

After a moment's hesitation, Lu Yuan dialed Shen Qiubing's number.

"Sister Bing?"

"That's so cheesy. Just tell me what you need from me."

"Indeed, she is incredibly clever."

Lu Yuan smiled and said directly.

"Borrow some points."

"How much, and when?"

"900, that's enough before the bet."

"A gambling match..."

Shen Qiubing paused slightly and snorted coldly.

"Did some idiot just walk right into your mouth?"

"I knew you were so clever! I'll pay you back when I'm done, and as for interest, it'll be two percent!"

"I'll transfer the money to you right now, interest-free."

Shen Qiubing said something indifferently and hung up the phone.

Just ten seconds later, the watch received a message that Shen Qiubing had transferred 900 points to him!

Shen Qiubing was aware of Lu Yuan's strength.

While not all of them, it was enough to deal with most of the special forces.

"As expected of the elder's granddaughter, she is truly magnanimous."

Lu Yuan glanced at the points and smiled.

Then, without thinking too much, he prepared to find a quiet room to practice his breathing.

The seventh martial meridian was more difficult than he had anticipated.

"Lu Yuan!"

He had only taken a few steps when another man suddenly called him to a stop, quickly walked up to him, and looked Lu Yuan up and down.

"Brother, I think you're a good person, I want to help you out."

"help me?"

Lu Yuan was taken aback, but couldn't help but smile.

"It's not about the end-of-month gambling match, is it?"

"Hmm? How did you know? Has someone contacted you?"

"No, no, that's exactly what I was worried about."

"Well, haha, you've met a benefactor in my life. Let me tell you..."

The man put his arm around Lu Yuan's shoulder, with a seemingly friendly smile on his face.

Lu Yuan was also laughing. There are so many fools.
