Douluo: AFK to Become a God

Three days later, as night fell, the entire faculty and student body of Shrek Academy gathered on the academy's training grounds, except for Dai Mubai, who had already left to meet a woman.

Looking at Flanders, who had summoned Zhao Wujie, Shao Xin, Li Yusong, and Lu Qibin, Chu Chengzhou couldn't help but show an expression of confusion.

Why was Flanders here tonight, especially with Zhao Wujie and the others? He had no idea. Yesterday, he had already secured six consecutive victories in the sub-arena of the Soto Great Soul Arena, and tonight he was scheduled to fight in the main arena.

In the main arena, the battles were even more competitive, with odds and betting already in place. Given Chu Chengzhou's strength, unless he intentionally threw the match, he was guaranteed to win. It was a chance to make some quick money, and Flanders, whose financial situation was still tight, wouldn't miss the opportunity. He even brought along his good friends, who were in an even worse financial situation.

"Chu, tonight it's all on you!" Flanders said, slapping Chu Chengzhou on the shoulder with a grin.

"Yeah, yeah, Boss Chu, whether I can live the high life with tasty food and drinks from now on depends on you!" Flanders' words were immediately followed by Ma Hongjun, who nodded eagerly.

Chu Chengzhou: "..."

"Alright, it's getting late. Let's head out!" Flanders waved his hand and led the group toward Soto City.

Soto Great Soul Arena

After Chu Chengzhou registered for his match in the main arena and confirmed his fight sequence, everyone rushed to the betting windows.

Soto City was economically thriving, and even ordinary civilians had a better income than those in remote places like Notting City. Gambling, along with other vices, was prevalent, and given the lack of other entertainment in the world of Douluo, the number of gamblers at the Soto Great Soul Arena was quite high.

The arena operated 24 hours, and the five betting windows were always busy. There was almost no time when the windows weren't crowded.

Chu Chengzhou, deciding to take the shortest line, joined the queue. The process was simple—just place the bet, pay the money, and the staff would issue a betting slip.

After about ten minutes, it was his turn.

"Good evening, sir. Which match would you like to bet on, and which competitor are you backing?" The young woman behind the counter greeted him with a smile.

"This one. I'll bet 100,000 gold soul coins on the 'Summoner' to win!" Chu Chengzhou pointed to one of the match schedules and placed ten gold soul coins cards, each worth 10,000 gold coins, on the counter.

The "Summoner" was his alias in the Soto Great Soul Arena, just as Dai Mubai was known as the "Evil Eyed White Tiger" and Ma Hongjun as the "Evil Fire Phoenix."

"100,000 gold soul coins?" The staff member's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at the ten cards stacked on the counter. She hadn't expected such a young, handsome guy to be such a big spender.

Soto City wasn't like Heaven Dou City, and there were no super-rich individuals like Ning Fengzhi. Betting 100,000 gold coins on a regular match was definitely a rare sight, especially for someone so young.

"Sir, are you sure you want to bet on the 'Summoner' to win?" she asked, now addressing him more casually as "sir."

"Absolutely!" Chu Chengzhou confirmed with a confident nod.

"Alright, sir, I'll issue your betting slip now." The staff member flashed a flirtatious smile as she took the ten cards and prepared to process the bet.

"By the way, what's the current odds for the 'Summoner' to win?" Chu Chengzhou asked.

"Sir, this match is just starting to be accepted, and since you're betting a large amount, the odds have dropped. Initially, it was 1:2, but now it's 1:1.1."

"1:1.1?" Chu Chengzhou raised an eyebrow. With 100,000 gold coins on the line, the payout would be 110,000 gold coins. After deducting the arena's 5% commission, he would earn 4,500 gold coins. It was a rather low return for such a high bet, but it was understandable considering that the odds were still adjusting.

The odds would likely increase as more people placed bets, and by the time the match closed, his odds would likely improve.

After a short wait, Chu Chengzhou received his betting slip and a small folded note.

"???" Chu Chengzhou looked at the small note in confusion. From what he could tell, other gamblers had only received a betting slip, so what was this note for?

He looked up and saw the staff member winking and smiling at him.

A rich, handsome young man like him, even if he couldn't become a wealthy husband, could still enjoy a spontaneous indulgence, right?

Chu Chengzhou: "..."

Just then, Chu Chengzhou felt a sharp pain in his waist. He turned around to see Xiao Wu's small hand pinching his soft flesh, twisting it with a 180-degree turn.

"What are you doing, Xiao Wu?" Chu Chengzhou asked helplessly, looking at her with a displeased expression.

"I saw it!" Xiao Wu pouted, pointing at the small note in his hand.

"...I'm not that kind of person!" Chu Chengzhou quickly crumpled the note, flicked it with his fingers, and sent it flying into a nearby trash bin.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu nodded in satisfaction, giving him a look that said, "Good, you know better now."

Xiao Wu was happy, but someone else wasn't.

Seeing the rich, handsome young man casually toss the note she had given him into the trash, the staff member's expression fell. She looked at Chu Chengzhou with an expression of quiet resentment.

However, she didn't dare to act out. Not only did the arena's rules prohibit such behavior, but given that Chu Chengzhou had just bet 100,000 gold soul coins, she couldn't afford to offend him.

Chu Chengzhou ignored the staff member's resentful gaze. Though he didn't mind having more women in his life, this particular woman wasn't special enough to be part of his circle. Even if Xiao Wu wasn't jealous, he wouldn't pay attention to her.
