Bet? You think I'd chicken out? Only cowards avoid battles. He typed two big characters in the public channel: "Name your price."

Zhang Xiaobo never expected this simpleton would actually dare to challenge him; since someone likes to throw away their money, then let the battle begin! The fatty sitting inside the Phantom Knight 0001 cockpit immediately accepted the gambling challenge.

What they call a duel is commonly referred to as 'firing a shot' in Star Wars. The player accepting the challenge must deposit the corresponding Game Coins into the system, and the victor gets an equal amount of Gold Coins, while the loser loses everything.

Of course, there are different rules for betting duels, each more bizarre than the last.

Typically, players tend to choose rules like 'a single battle determines the winner', 'best two out of three', or 'first to five or ten'.

These rules are very straightforward to understand.

Let's talk about 'a single battle determines the winner'. As the name suggests, whoever wins the round takes all the wager.

Players who dare to go 'a single battle determines the winner' usually have great confidence in their own skills, considering Galactic Warfare is a game filled with numerous experts—there are more unknown than known ones, and players would not dare to join the fray until they've reached at least the middle tier of intermediate pilots.

Because players who choose 'a single battle determines the winner' are unfamiliar with each other, including the mech models, tactics, and strategies, such players often have a particular skill, and their initial offenses are terrifyingly powerful, even exceeding their normal performance levels. However, their state is not lasting, which is why these players are commonly nicknamed 'one-shot experts'.

These individuals' general combat levels fluctuate within the third-tier.

So, what exactly are third-tier experts? Even a city with millions of inhabitants may not have more than 10 of them. Their challenges often carry a degree of uncertainty, so the stakes are usually not that high, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand; bets over ten thousand are very rare. The battles of these experts usually attract dozens or even hundreds of spectators, and during the weekends, continuous challenges can draw crowds of thousands or even tens of thousands.

Now, let's talk about 'best two out of three'.

'Best two out of three', also known as winning two out of three rounds. Those who play by these rules usually know each other, and even if they aren't acquainted, there's a certain level of understanding within the circle because they are not familiar with each other's fighting styles. Therefore, the first round is often seen as exploratory, just for observation.

In this regard, lots of people are imitating Revenge Shadow Rider because he is good at observing his opponents and turning the tables under adverse conditions. That's why in 'best two out of three' matches, even if one falls behind by a point, a comeback reversal is quite common.

Of course, friends often play 'best two out of three' or 'best three out of five' among themselves.

'Best three out of five' is largely similar to the scenarios described above. Unless they're challenging a friend they know, players who opt for these modes are usually at the third-tier expert level or are on the cusp of it.

Besides the above-mentioned play styles, there's another kind of match called 'first to ten'. The rules for 'first to ten' are fundamentally different from the others; it's usually between two true experts, and the first to score ten points wins.

In other words, this gives both expert players plenty of time to adapt, so they won't accidentally mess up as might happen in a 'single battle determines the winner'. After all, everyone makes mistakes, even horses stumble—no matter how pressure-resistant you are as a second-tier expert, it's very difficult to bring your advantages into play in a 'one-shot battle', because you may simply not be accustomed to the pace of a 'one-shot battle'. Hence, experts usually don't engage in 'one-shot battles' as they require precise control over the pace and mindset; unless utterly dominating, even a top expert used to 'first to ten' faces high risks of failing in a 'one-shot battle'.

After all, you don't have time to observe your opponent or even to understand what equipment they use or the strategies they adopt.

It's worth mentioning that second-tier experts are already at provincial or regional levels, just one step away from the top. Their mastery of combat and control over the fight are nearly perfect, with the only difference from first-tier experts being in the details.

The battles of second-tier experts are quite a spectacle; some big names even sponsor battles to watch their favorite second-tier experts fight, covering all costs out of their pocket, including participation rewards for the losers.

These experts have significant popularity, with a small to moderate amount of fame; fans often number in the tens of thousands. A fight can draw enough viewer comments to make it impossible to keep up.

At Dragon Gate Space Station, the player sitting next to the number one rookie is a local second-tier expert, a long-term champion of the number 5 Dragon Gate Space Station.

As for first-tier experts, they represent the pinnacle within the game. It's generally impossible for ordinary people to meet first-tier experts. According to the current game mechanics, most first-tier experts are categorized under Red Cloak and White Cloak stages—they are the true elite players of the game.

The fatty, of course, doesn't care about all this and wouldn't mind what tier you are. In fact, what can third-tier experts do to him? Who is he? He's from the elite Red Cloak of the Normandy Super Fleet. As a burst-type fighter, he's a true warrior who has fought life-and-death battles with the likes of Kexiao and Jiu Ling Sky Shadow.

Sitting next to the number one rookie, the little girlfriend had already noticed something was off. Although she couldn't quite put her finger on it, she believed that slash wasn't simple and hurriedly advised the rookie not to act rashly. Impulsiveness is the devil, especially since he had just lost to them. Maybe it was better not to fight again. Of course, she didn't outright forbid it, as she wanted to save her boyfriend's face in front of his friends; as a girlfriend, you need to know how to measure your words. With that money, they could enjoy a barbecue or book a hotel room. Why risk it on gambling?
