Chapter 922 Motivated by Interests
Before the tenth match, Gu Zhenhao had said that he believed Lin Mu could be among the top five.
His words were actually agreed by many cultivators, which was unexpected for Gu Zhenhao.
His original intention was that he could earn spirit stones only if others did not believe him.
Now that even others believed him, why would he bet with others?
"Your previous performance was too dazzling. Now many cultivators are blindly convinced of you and think you are unmatched." Gu Zhenhao sent a voice message to Lin Mu and smiled bitterly, "What should I do now?"
Lin Mu was also somewhat helpless. He knew his true strength, but in the eyes of the onlookers, his strength was extremely strong and they were very convinced of him.
When he participated in the mineral vein competition conference, part of his mind was also in this aspect. He had a reputation and shocked thousands of cultivators, which surprised people. He did not expect that his subsequent sale of the jade slips would be extremely smooth and unfavorable.
However, before the round-robin battle was over, many cultivators were extremely convinced of him, and even believed that he could be among the top five.
Don’t they know how difficult it is to be in the top five?
“Don’t they know that I can only lose one game at most?” Lin Mu asked.
Gu Zhenhao reacted immediately and said hurriedly: “Many people may not know. After all, you have won six games in a row and you are already in the top ten. There are still six games to go. Many people think that it is not a big problem for you to be in the top five. In fact, you can only lose one game at most.”
“You have to tell everyone this fact.” Lin Mu also felt a headache. “It is also a fault to be too strong.”
In the last competition, he launched a fierce attack against a late-stage fusion cultivator, forcing the late-stage fusion cultivator to admit defeat. This is his strategy. In order to win, he must do so.
But the more this is the case, the stronger his strength is in the eyes of thousands of cultivators.
Many people mistakenly think that late-stage fusion cultivators are not his opponents at all. Under his fierce attack, they can only bow their heads and admit defeat.
Lin Mu himself has to admit that if he were a bystander, he would think that he is really invincible and hard to meet an opponent.
Only he knows the truth here.
"You can only lose one match. You can't admit defeat in the next competition. Then you should act weaker as much as possible and stop crushing others." Gu Zhenhao advised Lin Mu, and then with regret, "You missed three competitions. Otherwise, let alone being in the top five, even being in the top three would be a great hope!" Act weaker as much as possible. Hearing this, Lin Mu smiled bitterly. "Do you think I can definitely win?" Lin Mu asked back. "I believe in you!" Gu Zhenhao said confidently, "Otherwise I wouldn't have made this suggestion." Lin Mu knew the pain and had to nod helplessly. Now he really realized how difficult it was to earn spirit stones. The more you earn, the more you pay. Many of the efforts here may not be seen by others. Before Lin Mu went on stage to compete, Gu Zhenhao made a statement to others, saying that Lin Mu could be in the top five. Many cultivators actually agreed with him, and there was no one who opposed it, and no one wanted to take the initiative to bet with him. After being cheated several times before, these people have learned their lesson. Gu Zhenhao clearly set a trap for them to fall into. They were fooled once or twice, but they would never be fooled all the time.
Now that Lin Mu is so popular and powerful, they will not take the initiative to send spiritual stones to Gu Zhenhao.
"If Lin Mu wants to be in the top five, he can only lose one game at most in the next competition!" Gu Zhenhao analyzed to everyone, "He did not play against the cultivators ranked second, fourth, and fifth in the last competition. With his strength, it is difficult to win a game in a row. It is possible that he will lose all three games. In fact, his hope of becoming the top five is not great."
"Then why do you still believe that he can be in the top five?" Someone asked puzzled.
"He is my friend, so I naturally have to believe him." Gu Zhenhao said as a matter of course.
"I think he helped you earn tens of billions of spiritual stones before, and this is the most important reason." Someone laughed and teased.
Gu Zhenhao's old face turned red, then he returned to normal and simply nodded: "Of course, this is also a major reason. He has done many things that we think are impossible. This time, I hope he can also create a miracle." "Are you going to bet with us again this time?" Someone saw Gu Zhenhao's intention and pointed it out directly. Gu Zhenhao smiled and admitted, "I do have this idea." Many cultivators heard this and showed an expression that they had known it long ago, and they all turned their heads away immediately. "If Lin Mu wants to be in the top five, he can only lose one game at most. In fact, it is still very difficult. Some of his secret trump cards look very powerful, but in fact, they are facing ordinary late-stage fusion cultivators. If they are against the top ones, they may not be effective." A more rational cultivator analyzed, "Even if he detonates the Thunder Yuan Pearl, those people cannot mobilize the power of heaven and earth, but with the sword attainments of the middle stage of the sword domain and the top cultivation of the late stage of fusion, their strength will not be inferior to Lin Mu, but even more durable." "If we really compare the odds, those people still have a greater chance of winning!" Another cultivator also followed, "Those people already have more than ten mineral veins. Over the years, I don't know how many spirit stones they have accumulated. If we really compare trump cards, they definitely have more than Lin Mu, and the power is definitely more powerful."
"Compared with those few people in terms of cultivation, strength, trump cards, and background, Lin Mu has no advantage at all!"
After the two analyzed it like this, many cultivators around them also understood and nodded in agreement.
Many things are not as simple as they seem.
But despite this, no one took the initiative to bet with Gu Zhenhao.
As a last resort, Gu Zhenhao had no choice but to take the initiative: "Although it is very difficult, I still believe that Lin Mu can do it. For this reason, I am willing to bet with you again. Even if I lose all my wealth, I will not regret it. This will allow me to compete with you." If he gets closer, there will be no less benefits in the future.”
"Lost all your wealth?" Immediately, a cultivator said angrily, "You have earned so many spiritual stones before, how could you lose all your wealth?"
It seems that he has also lost a lot of spiritual stones.
"This time is different." Gu Zhenhao said seriously, "This time I am going to be completely crazy. I will no longer bet with others on whether Lin Mu can win in a certain competition, but I will bet with others that he Can I finally become the top five? For this reason, I am willing to offer you a hundred times the odds. If you are interested, I will accompany you to the end!"
As soon as these words came out, the group fell into silence, and then became lively again.
Hundred times odds!
If he wins, wouldn't he make a lot of money?
Many cultivators struggled in their hearts and decided to gamble with Gu Zhenhao.
To be on the safe side, they all spent around a million spirit stones.
However, the number of cultivators participating in the gambling is far greater than before.
Driven by huge interests, few people can truly remain calm.
