Chapter 337: Mech Duel II
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A lady appeared from the back of the big guy, ”Greetings sir, what could I provide you I wonder?” She said with a smile of a gorgeous twenty-five. Her short hair swung, her blue suit revealed a fair white shirt which the top had been partially unbuttoned, exposing her collar bones. The fitting skirt engulfed her bouncing pound of fleshes, her calves were a sexy screamer. How alluring.
Any trainee in their puberty would be easily hooked away by her simple bow. It was only a matter of seconds before she became the center of everyone's attention. Her smile remained as gentle as her expressive eyes stared upon Ye Chong. The big guy withdrew himself the moment the lady made her debut.
The stares of the trainees were as if a thunderous shout from them saying, ”Provide you yourself! Nothing else!” Even Bi Bo, who had gotten used to all sorts of women, was having his heart raced a little.
Ye Chong frowned, ”What can you guys provide then?”
Oh? The lady's smile bloomed. Her eyes rolled interestingly, ”Instead of that, why don't you tell us what do you need, so that we can see if there is any assistance we could provide?” It was a trade, a business from the very beginning. Whoever flashed their trump card would be destined to lose! The lady was clearly very experienced in this, and Bi Bo fancied that.
”State your catalogue,” Ye Chong shook his head, knowing if he really listed out everything he needed, the lady might as well carried the entire cargo to him right away. Well he did not know what exactly he wanted at the moment, to be honest. And these men who joined the scene abruptly, hell knows what they aimed here... Wait, the big guy said something about the Bluefire. Did they come for the Bluefire reagent?
That chemical substance was nothing valuable in particular to Ye Chong. So much work just for Bluefire? But how did they know about Bluefire?
Meanwhile, Susan was getting irritated by this ignorant man. Just today she suddenly received a transmission from the authority, demanding her to head to Ze Xi academy with her men, look for a peculiarly ugly man and obtain the formula that could produce the phenomena of Dimming Blue. As communicative systems of most planets had been damaged, Zhou Jian planet was nearly utterly offline with the last few places remained connected to the world in signals so weak that not even the Virtual World survived from this and visuals could not be even transmitted directly to Susan. She eventually had to come all the way to Zhou Jian herself to get things done. It was quite a miracle that Bi Bo's stream was of private connection and the broadcast was successful. Unlike Bi Bo, Susan was running out of luck. The moment she arrived, Xiong Mocong just had to ruin her life. ”You filthy pig,” cursed Susan softly. Xiong Mocong possessed quite an unconventional rank in the organization, in a way that he was not a subordinate of Susan despite being under her supervision, so Susan technically could hardly enforce anything on him.
At least the situation remained under control. It was a relief to her when she was informed that a mech duel was going to happen instead. Xiong Mocong was still something at mech duels in spite of that bad temper of his.
All she had to do at the moment was to lure this boy into the lair, since clearly this boy did not look interested in a street fight without any form of incentive. This ugly boy however, gave her a different kind of sensation, a very... very unique atmosphere he exuded that was unfitting to his visual age.
The white-garbed girl by his side was also a fascination, that Xiong Mocong almost got knocked out at first. Knowing how skillful Xiong Mocong might not be as competent in a hand-on-hand, but he should not be this bad... Such horror that even a fully grown man could not hold a single attack of hers...
The remaining 600 men behind were none of her concern, as she could easily discern the dispute among them at first glance, they would be an brittle wall to break, easy peasy lemon squeezy.
”How about we heat things up? You win, you get a fancy new ride. Let's see... the new Phantom-3000? The fearsome Genocide? Or you prefer the classic model Celestial Terra-cotta?” Listed Susan some mouth-watering bets on the duel, which none of them were ordinary models at the street market. All of those models could go easily 5 million points for sale, while being the dream ride of all pilots.
”Holy Molly, did I hear Phantom-3000?”
”I saved up for my entire life just to get a battery for Genocide!”
”Lucky boy.”
”Wooooow.”
The exclamation brewed along with whispers in the surrounding, including Bi Bo with his eyes wide open. ”Such daring bet...” Whispered he, as getting intrigued of this mature-looking girl.
Well, Ye Chong might be jumping into his mech now if it was in the past. But ever since that night he knocked a grand fortune, few million points were a thing in him no longer, especially when he lacked everything else but a mech. He had enough funds to get him a handful of these so-called dream rides.
Guo the accountant of the group actually prepared Ye Chong the Great a debit card stored with a hundred million, in a fear that this great man would be at short of pennies when he left Planet Yi Ju. Nonetheless, knowing this great man was also quite a clumsy and careless one, the kind accountant broke the figure into 10 different cards stored with ten millions each. But then Ye Chong felt that was a little unnecessarily too much for his pocket to handle, so he brought 5 cards instead. Well, with 5 times ten millions each, 50 millions were more than enough to buy a dozen of these fancy rides. So, the answer was clearly...
”No thanks.” The deal was off.
The audience roared again upon seeing this boy refusing such a juicy, probably once-in-a-lifetime deal, so was Susan who was literally stunned on spot.
Okay, which sane person would refuse a condition like this? Was he fearing that he could not offer a similar bet? Hmm, well then, ”Are you afraid that you could not wager something even close to this? No worries, we do not expect that, we only expect you to-”
”Was it the formula for Bluefire?” interrupted Ye Chong.
Wait, how did he know our intention? Susan was shocked as her popped eyes ran through this boy with an unappealing appearance. Hmmm, he knew everything. Gasp! That means I had been in the inferior position since the very beginning... Speaking of it... I knew nothing of this boy...
”What's your name? If you would so kindly tell,” bowed Susan sincerely, with her Great Valley stirring up a commotion among the spectators again. Ye Chong had ascended to formally a position of an actual opponent in her list now.
”Chen Mu.” A new entry to Ye Chong's tradition of setting up pseudonym.
”Very well, Mr. Chen,” smiled Susan sweetly, ”Apparently Mr. Chen is incurious about our duel. How about the condition to be made by Mr. Chen instead? We are still on a deal here, aren't we?”
”One billion?” stated Ye Chong flatly.
The condition was a noise-killer as people froze their lips looking at Ye Chong. It was dead silent that somehow one could perceive that flappy sound of Bi Bo's jaw dropping.
Susan's expression stiffened, ”Hah... Mr. Chen, I beg your pardon, maybe I was a little too consumed by the deal did I hear the figure-”
