But losing ten million Gold Coins in one go is enough. That's ten million—money, cash, not something blown in by the wind. They want to come again? Even Heinous can't afford another loss. Continuing the game could drain her originally wealthy family of eighty percent of its assets.
"Hmph, I'll remember you. What's so great about you? Just you wait and see," Heinous grumbled a harsh threat before preparing to log off, reckoning that an opponent with such strength was no longer merely a gamer but perhaps military personnel like Red Cloak.
Since Heinous herself had already reached the level of an Advanced pilot, only a step away from being an elite, the fact that she couldn't even keep up with a conditioned reflex to block in the instant the opponent made that sweeping cut meant that even if her brain could react, her body couldn't. There was only one explanation that made sense: her opponent's burst of hand speed was far beyond her own, undoubtedly incomparable.
"Can't believe Battlefield Reminiscence actually won, that's crazy, beyond imagination."
"It's true, no faking that. The earth-shattering outcome sparked an immediate uproar, as people discussed the internally makeover-ed fatty."
"Hey, with just an average-equipped Assembly 9th Generation mid-level Mecha, he actually took down that woman. This guy must definitely be an ace from the military."
"Wasn't Sinful Hall rather arrogant? Let's see how she handles this bet now."
While people were thinking this, the fatty, Zhang Xiaobo, once again made a public declaration in the common channel, stating that this time he was willing to put twenty million on the line as a wager. Bring it on, let's continue the challenge, hurt each other some more. If you want to earn back everything with profit, then come challenge me; I'll stick with you to the end."
This… Although no one knew what had gotten into the fatty, he certainly had the strength to back it up. Still, many spectators weren't completely clear about the level of the fatty's skills. At first, he was suppressed by Heinous, but then he unexpectedly made a comeback. Whether it was luck or feigning weakness as a strategy was unconfirmed. Clearly, there was also a risk of him losing, but his courage to take risks immediately attracted a wave of praise from the onlookers.
Heinous was stunned… "Damn your sister's twenty million, even this ten million made Heinous feel like she lost in a daze, how could she dare to gamble twenty million with such an unpredictable and mysterious fatty? Going all-in may sound simple, win and you make a small profit, but lose and you won't be able to make it back even by fishing in the sea."
Another voice began to emerge from the crowd, regardless of whether they supported or not, the chat messages were unanimously calling for Sinful Hall and the fatty to have another match. The onlookers wouldn't earn a penny from it, but witnessing such a huge bet was an eye-opener, and the thought of the emotional gap between the loser and the winner was tremendously exciting; this was the typical mentality of enjoying the drama without fearing it getting too big.
As the clamor grew louder and louder... Heinous finally found herself in a tight spot, whether to advance or retreat. Of course, she wasn't honestly scared to bet twenty million; after all, her father was a real estate businessman, and her mother a company executive—twenty million was only about half a year's expenses. But she had no confidence in winning. The opponent was a complete enigma to Heinous, and to throw money away without understanding seemed foolish.
"Brothers and sisters, we can't let the vice-president carry this burden alone. The vice-president is doing this for all of us. I suggest each person chip in a bit."
"Yeah, who says we'll definitely lose? If we win, the brothers can even get a share of the benefits. Haha, I'm just in it for the benefits, to hell with gambling! Vice-president, we back you in this fight against that bastard."
The guy speaking up immediately donated fifty thousand Game Coins, "Although this money isn't much, if everyone chips in a little, it'll add up."
"Wait, count me in too."
"And me."
Once the rhythm was set, the fervent Sinful Hall members could not resist, and one after another donated their Game Coins, be it a large amount or a small one; it was the thought that counted. Those who donated more gave out hundreds of thousands, and those who could only afford less gave a few thousand. To some extent, this also had to do with how long they had been members; some had only joined for a week or two and could not possibly contribute too much since their own dues weren't even enough, while others with larger means didn't mind contributing more.
For a moment, the morale of Sinful Hall was incredibly high, with every member contributing their part. Some of the more gossipy internal members even posted the scene on the official website, eliciting an enthusiastic response and innumerable likes from fellow netizens.
Deserving their reputation as a gathering place for great players, it's no wonder they're one of the top hundred guilds in gaming. That kind of unity is indeed rare among guilds; they are a super strong group with absolute execution power.
For a while, the fatty inadvertently became the antagonist of this battle, facing moral high ground attacks launched by the people.
But the fatty was utterly indifferent, not enlightened one bit. In his own words, he'd walk his path, leaving no path for the opponents; he'd feast on his own meat, let the dogs bark all they want.
Meanwhile, it didn't take long for Sinful Hall's donations to reach a massive sum of thirty-seven million. Vice President Heinous hadn't taken a penny; this thirty-seven million was voluntarily organized and donated by the internal members.
"Everyone, you guys…"
"Hey, Vice-President, don't worry about this and that, just fight. Whether we can win or not, we absolutely can't show weakness. If we really can't win, we accept that; it's unavoidable. But that last defeat truly upset us."
