Chapter 1434 King of Gladiators
Upon hearing this, the previously lifeless stands were instantly enlivened.
"Yes! I agree! Mr. Chen's performance is worth betting my entire fortune on. I'm going with him, all in on Mr. Chen!"
"The time before last, I misjudged and bet on Boss Chen's opponent. But Boss Chen even gave me a rebate. Based on that kind of character, it's always right to follow Boss Chen, so I'll bet on him again!"
"Count me in! 2000 ghost coins!"
Amidst the clamor of shouts, the audience cast their votes using ghost money.
At the same time, the heavy iron gate facing the arena began to slowly rise.
A huge figure slowly walked out from the iron gate.
Its size was so great that it almost blotted out the sky, blocking out some of the light in front of Chen Mu.
With each step it took, the ground of the entire arena seemed to tremble slightly.
The audience in the stands fell completely silent.
A powerful sense of oppression instantly swept through the entire arena, both inside and out.
The King of Gladiators has arrived!
No matter what, the opponent is a Demon King. He certainly doesn't lack the necessary sense of oppression and strength.
Now it stands like a mountain on one side of the arena. Its massive size even occupies half of the arena.
Under this pressure, the audience felt compelled to continue placing bets. Many of those who hadn't placed bets had their hands trembling slightly.
Viewers who have placed bets can also cancel their bets and choose again.
The administrator addressed the stands: "Ladies and gentlemen, the duel is about to begin!"
The two sides in the gladiator fight are Boss Chen and the King of Gladiators!
Please hurry and place your bets within one minute!
After the administrator finished speaking, he stepped aside.
The colossal Gladiator King, as large as a mountain, couldn't help but bend down and glance at the administrator.
Generally speaking, when introducing two gladiators in the [Death Arena], the one who is more prestigious and stronger should be mentioned first.
But just now, when the administrator introduced the two people, he actually mentioned Boss Chen's name first!
What does this mean?
In front of his own boss, he showed even more respect to Boss Chen.
The King of Gladiators knew that his administrator had probably been bribed by this guy named Chen Mu.
Fortunately, I arrived in time; Chen Mu's ability to bewitch and manipulate people is too strong.
If I had arrived any later, the entire arena would probably have been bought off by Chen Mu.
Fortunately, I arrived in time, not too late. Those strange spectators were still quite obedient to me.
Just then, the betting results from the audience were announced.
Before the duel began, the administrator announced the final betting results.
Upon seeing the proportions, the administrator's lips twitched slightly.
This data doesn't look good. To be frank, it seems like I'd be embarrassing my former boss.
I don't care about being proven wrong, since I'm no longer working for my old boss anyway.
She had already made preparations to seek refuge with Boss Chen.
The key point is that if the King of Gladiators is humiliated, he might launch a fierce attack on Chen Mu in a fit of rage.
Isn't this just making things more difficult for Boss Chen for no reason?
No, I have to think about Boss Chen and help him solve his problems.
With this thought in mind, the administrator had a sudden inspiration and said loudly:
"In this gladiatorial match, a total of 1253 ghost coins have been bet on the King of Gladiators!"
Upon hearing the price of 1253 ghost money, a satisfied expression appeared on the Gladiator King's fleshy face.
There were thousands of spectators in the arena. Each person bet approximately 1-5 ghost coins.
1253 ghost money is a large sum of money, even in the past, for gladiatorial combat.
It appears that over 90% of the audience bet on themselves.
That's normal, after all, these viewers are strange, they've been with him for many, many years.
Although you may get poorer and more desperate the longer you live, don't ask any of this nonsense. Just ask yourself if you've been raising them for many years.
They must be filled with gratitude towards themselves.
That administrator is a traitor; he's paid 10 ghost coins a month and he's still not satisfied. In such a short time, he's become so close to Chen Mu.
It seems that after this duel, it's time to replace the administrator.
Let's choose one of those loyal viewers to be the next administrator.
The administrators have very generous salaries and benefits; the viewers will definitely be overjoyed.
Thinking this, the King of Gladiators suddenly became interested and wanted to know how much money had been bet on Chen Mu.
"How much money has Chen Mu bet?" the Gladiator Dynasty administrator asked.
Its original intention was to humiliate Chen Mu.
The King of Gladiators thought that the amount of money bet on Chen Mu was probably only a single-digit amount of ghost money, at most a few dozen.
Compared to his own 1200+ ghost money, Chen Mu's situation was clearly dire. It wasn't even a fraction of what he had.
This will allow Chen Mu to see the huge gap between the two.
This made Chen Mu realize what it truly meant to be driven by cunning intentions.
In terms of sheer presence, he could overpower Chen Mu.
However, after asking the question, the administrator hesitated and couldn't get the answer out for a long time.
The King of Gladiators said, "What's there to hesitate about? Speak up boldly. Are you afraid of offending Boss Chen?"
Don't worry, we're all highly cultured weirdos. Even if it's just a small amount, we won't say anything; at most, we'll laugh at that fool.
Seeing that there was no other way, the administrator said, "The total amount bet on Boss Chen is 1,503,200 ghost coins."
"One hundred and fifty, that's still a bit too much." The Gladiator King was shocked. He hadn't expected his subordinates to be so wavering. At least a hundred of them must have been bewitched by Chen Mu.
"King of Gladiators, you missed the word 'ten thousand'," the administrator added at the opportune moment.
The Gladiator King's massive body suddenly froze for a moment.
It then realized in its mind that the administrator had just mentioned a number, "Wait...you said...take less?"
So shocked was he that his pronunciation of "King of Gladiators" became somewhat off.
150?
I rely on!
How can there be so many?
Then it ends with "3200," indicating that the bet was placed on himself, and it seems he only placed a bet of 1200.
So even a fraction of Chen Mu's money is two or three times his own?
The King of Gladiators was stunned; it didn't react for a moment.
My own arena, when did I become so rich?
Those ghost money coins, weren't they all collected and burned? How come these poor, cunning viewers actually hoarded so much ghost money?
This is unreasonable!
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" the King of Gladiators couldn't help but ask.
