Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Simulated Battle of Geniuses!

Chapter 36: I bet you guys will go bankrupt if I reach a certain number of towers in the Trial Tower

"Gentlemen, please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality!"

King Longyi strolled leisurely to the head seat, raised his cup and said, "In the years I have been away, I am grateful for the care and support of the Ying Shan clan. This cup is a toast to all of you."

"No, no, the Ying Shan family's success today is all thanks to your excellent guidance!"

"That's right, who doesn't know now that the Ying Shan family has produced a super genius who has shaken the entire 1008 Universe Kingdom?"

"The Battle of Geniuses will be held in a few decades, and at that time, the name of Ying Shan will surely be known throughout the human race."

Three hundred princes and nobles sat at the main table, exchanging pleasantries and pleasantries.

After the first cup of wine, the hundreds of immortal gods left the table and began to move around freely, chatting in small groups about real topics.

"Brother, please help me make an introduction. The resources in that secret realm are extraordinary. If Marquis Yin Xue could help..." Kunsha Luo followed Ying Shan Long Yun, chattering incessantly, completely unaware that a pair of furious eyes were fixed on him.

By the window, a burly, golden-armored immortal deity gritted his teeth and said, "That damned Kunsala! How dare he come to the banquet? He gave me a fake map, which saved my brother Tevo's lifespan by only 20,000 years!"

He crushed the wine glass in his hand, wishing he could take action on the spot.

"Brother Karl, don't be too impulsive," Manlu quickly reassured him, "This is a virtual universe, taking action won't do any good. It will only give us leverage and anger Lord Dragonwing King, making it even harder to save your brother!"

"I see."

Karl nodded and continued, "That scoundrel Kunsaro seems to still want to lure others to that secret realm; it seems he hasn't given up on his wicked intentions."

"What exactly is hidden in that secret realm?" Manlu asked with great curiosity.

"I don't know. I almost perished just on the outermost edge. I didn't dare to stay any longer." Karl's pupils trembled as he recalled that secret realm. Anyone without the strength to be granted a marquis title would surely die if they went in.

wow——

At the banquet, everyone's gaze suddenly turned towards the direction of the main hall entrance.

"Is that the king's disciple?"

Karl's eyes flickered as he looked at the two figures entering the hall, one of whom was a young boy who looked very immature.

Yet, when faced with hundreds of immortal gods, the young man remained calm and polite.

Manluo, standing to the side, smiled and said, "That's right, that's His Highness Li Yang, a super genius who is about to enter the Primal Secret Realm!"

"The king's disciple, a genius about to enter the primordial secret realm..."

Even as an immortal god, Karl couldn't help but envy such a future. With talent, background, and the ability to enter the core of the Virtual Universe Company, he certainly wouldn't be tricked by a villain like Kunsaro!

Talent is important, but background is equally important.

at the same time--

Dragon Wing King sat high in the hall, chatting idly with several immortal gods who had been granted the title of "King". He pretended not to see Li Yang's arrival, waiting for his friends beside him to remind him.

"Dragon Wing King, your junior has arrived. Aren't you going to introduce him to us?"

"That's right, you should keep a close eye on such an outstanding junior, lest he be snatched up by those powerful families and become their live-in son-in-law."

"Regardless of the circumstances, Li Yang is a genius of our Qianwu Universe Kingdom. If he leaves behind descendants, they should definitely choose our Qianwu Universe Kingdom first!"

Several immortal gods who had been granted the title of kings were implying that they wanted to form a marriage alliance.

At this moment, Marquis Yin Xue stood up straight, and although he was standing at the end, he loudly echoed, "That's right, our Qianwu Universe Kingdom has quite a few outstanding 'women'."

After saying that, he gestured for Ji Qing behind him to step forward.

Ji Qing glanced at Prince Li Yang first, then puffed out her chest, revealing her impressive figure beneath her white bodysuit.

Deep down, she wasn't against arranged marriages between families, as long as it made her stronger and allowed her to walk the path of the powerful.

love?

It's really not that important!

Below the main hall, Ying Shan Longyun personally led Li Yang and Ying Shan Xueyang to the main table on the high platform to pay their respects to the clan ancestor.

Those sitting here are almost all kings and nobles; ordinary deities like Ying Shan Long Yun are not qualified to sit here.

"Ancestor!" Ying Shanlongyun bowed respectfully, followed by Li Yang and Ying Shanxueyang, who said in unison, "Greetings, Ancestor!"

Dragon Wing King smiled broadly, not praising Li Yang first, but instead focusing his gaze on Ying Shan Xue Yang, "Indeed, Li Yang's excellence is largely due to Ying Shan Xue Yang's contributions. He is hereby awarded a spot for comprehension in the Primordial Universe!"

These words drew envy from many.

The price of a Chaos City cultivation spot at the World Lord level is shockingly high!

The auction requires at least 30,000 to 40,000 Chaos Units, which even ordinary immortal gods cannot afford.

"Thank you, Ancestor!" Ying Shanxue Yang suppressed his excitement, never expecting that the Ancestor would be so generous, directly granting him a place to comprehend the Chaos City at the Realm Lord level.

That was the sacred cultivation ground she longed for day and night.

"Don't be so polite. I will never mistreat anyone who has contributed to the family!"

After laying the groundwork, Dragon Wing King turned his gaze to the young man beside Ying Shan Xueyang, "Li Yang, are you confident about the Genius Battle several years from now?"

"Yes!" Li Yang's eyes were sharp, full of youthful spirit.

Dragon Wing King slammed his massive, dark claw, covered in scales, onto the armrest. "Good! It's good that you have this drive. I'll set a goal for you. If you can win first place in the Genius Battle, I'll reward you with a big gift."

"Also... if you can reach the sixth level of the Trial Tower in the Genius Battle, I will reward you with 10,000 Hunyuan Units. If you pass the second level, I will reward you with 20,000, and so on. How much reward you get depends entirely on yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yang's expression froze, and he feigned confusion. After all, he had only been alive for a few decades, so of course he had to pretend he didn't know anything about the Trial Tower.

"This reward won't do!"

A fully crystallized "King" immortal spoke with a playful tone.

"This kid doesn't even know what the Trial Tower is. Besides, the Genius Battle is coming up soon. With Li Yang's understanding of the laws, he can at most pass the first level. How much reward can he get?"

"Exactly! The goal is set so high! I even said I'd give Li Yang ten million Chaos Units if he made it to the seventh Trial Tower!"

Ten million mixed units?

Li Yang swallowed hard, wishing he could rush to the Trial Tower right now, get the ten million Chaos Units, and break through to the Realm Lord level directly in the simulator.

Wouldn't one's understanding of the laws skyrocket?

Unfortunately, no one thought he could reach the seventh trial tower. His current strength was far less impressive than Bolan's, and more like Rong Jun's.

Of course, he wouldn't be foolish enough to expose himself, as Kunsala was watching from below.

The other party is an intelligence agent from the Zerg assassination team. If my current understanding of the laws is exposed, the Zerg will probably come to assassinate me without hesitation.

In reality, without the protection of the Golden Horn Clan's King-level squad, it's best to be careful...

The bickering among the several kings eventually evolved into an "opening of betting"—there's no problem that an opening of betting can't solve.

Bets made with real money best reflect one's own views.

"I bet Li Yang can reach the sixth level of the sixth trial tower. How about ten million Chaos Units?" Dragon Wing King was very generous, after all, he had spent more than ten million to cultivate Li Yang's metal life form.

Everyone was terrified.

Unexpectedly, the stakes were so high. Several half-baked kings, whose combined net worth was only a few hundred million mixed units, couldn't even come up with ten million mixed units in cash at once.

"Let's have some fun together. It's rare to have such a lively atmosphere. You can pool your money to bet on my opponent." Dragon Wing King raised his dragon claw and touched his nose.

"I'm betting 300,000 Chaos Units." After saying that, the King turned to Li Yang with a smile and said, "Little guy, it's not that I don't think highly of you, it's just that your clan ancestor is too stingy and unwilling to give you a reward. Once I win your clan ancestor's money, I guarantee I'll give you a big bonus!"

"Haha, then I'll bet 500,000!"

I'll bet 100,000.

"Thirty thousand!"

Inside the main hall, hundreds of immortal gods, including three hundred kings and marquises, suppressed nearly ten million Chaos Units.

Li Yang pretended not to understand, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

Speedrun through the seventh Trial Tower and dominate both ends!

The clan ancestor promised that the reward for passing the sixth trial tower would be doubled, and 1 Chaos Units would be multiplied by 14.

Get rich!
