Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 670 - 627: Betting War

"A bet, eh...it’s exactly what I like! It only gets interesting with some stakes involved. How do you want to bet?"

Red-faced Tiger drew out two heavy hammers, gripping them tightly in his hands. You could tell just from his bulging veins that these hammers were quite heavy.

"Both sides take out equipment or coins of equal value, pledge them to the system, and swear an oath that ownership goes to the winner. The system will bear witness. No objections, I hope?"

Stacey’s eyes shone with anticipation, her gaze fixed on Red-faced Tiger like a predator about to spring on prey.

"Interesting. Since you’re so eager to hand over your equipment, why on earth would I refuse?"

Red-faced Tiger burst into raucous laughter, infecting the surrounding players who joined in his laughter. Not far away, in the trading area, vendors packed up their wares and rushed to the Life and Death Arena, not to miss the spectacle about to unfold.

"Since this is Huaxia turf, I should play my part! I’ll go first!"

Red-faced Tiger pulled a golden shimmering piece of armor from his bag and boomed at Stacey: "This is a level 30 golden piece of equipment. It has a strong enhancement, giving an extra ten points to attack power. It’s absolutely considered amongst the best armor any level-30 warrior could wish for! Well, would this be a worthy piece of equipment to you?"

"Hmm...it’s not bad."

Stacey didn’t seem surprised at all, her tone indifferent: "It’s merely Earthly List ranked. I can’t expect much. This robe should be enough to balance out your armor."

Upon hearing this, Red-faced Tiger was instantly infuriated. But before he could retort, Stacey pulled out a magic robe and calmly spoke,

"This is a level 40 golden magic robe. It comes with a fire enhancement, adding 5% to fire damage. It’s a popular piece of equipment for fire mages."

"What?! A level 40 gold piece of equipment?"

"So it looks like the armor Red-faced Tiger offered is significantly weaker! No wonder Stacey didn’t bat an eye. Damn it, she just slapped us in the face right from the start! This is so humiliating!"

"So what if her equipment is of a higher level? This is the Life and Death Arena; once Red-faced Tiger wins, the robe will fall into Huaxia players’ hands!"

"Right, we’ll just wait to add insult to injury to this foreign player!"

"Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. I have a hunch about this, Red-faced Tiger might not be a match for her!"

A lanky player eyed the happenings in the arena solemnly, his tone serious. He had heard every word the foreign player said — ’merely an Earthly List ranked player’?! It appears she didn’t regard Red-faced Tiger at all!

"What the hell are you saying? Why are you boosting their morale while dampening ours?!"

The player standing next to him was instantly irritated and cursed loudly, guessing that if this weren’t a safe zone, he would have been kicked out.

"Red-faced, be careful. She’s no ordinary foe!"

The lanky player ignored his companion, taking the opportunity before the death match started to shout a warning to Red-faced Tiger. His shout was so loud, it startled the player next to him.

"You idiot, even if you shouted your lungs out, there’s no way Red-faced would take you seriously, you insignificant..."

But before the player next to him could finish speaking, he saw Red-faced Tiger turn his head towards the lanky player, with extreme confidence and said, "Elder Brother, this battle concerns the honor of Huaxia. I know what’s at stake and will give it my all! You should know better, even the Earthly List ranked players shudder at the sight of my dual hammers!"

"I know you’re tough, but don’t take her lightly. Be wary, my friend!" freēwēbnovel.com

"Enough with your rambling, Elder Brother! Are you menopausal or something? That golden robe suits you well, once I get hold of it, it’s yours!"

...

Elder Brother?

The first in the list of Three Tigers, Laughing Tiger!!

The cursing player was instantly shocked, he hadn’t expected that the skinny mage standing next to him would be none other than Laughing Tiger. The more he thought about it, the grimmer he became. He couldn’t stand to stay there and slinked away into the crowd, no one paid attention where he had disappeared.

Life and Death Arena.

Stacey and Red-faced Tiger signed the system contract, and upon the sound of the gong, the death match officially began!

"Kid, you’d better prepare to die!"

In the blink of an eye, Red-faced Tiger stomped powerfully on the ground, launching his body forward, crisscrossing both hammers in front of him and charged towards Stacey.

The players watched this scene nervously, cheering for Red-faced Tiger as he seized the initiative. They knew, to defeat a mage as a warrior, getting close was the key to winning!

"Heh, as you Huaxia people say, this is just foolish!"

Stacey revealed a subtle smile, while slowly stepping back, she pointed her hand, and the hovering ghost shot toward Red-faced Tiger.

"Trying to hold me back with a pet? You’re too naive!"

Red-faced Tiger gestured casually and a distinct black and white leopard appeared on the stage.

"Whoosh!"

The leopard shot out like an arrow, leaving a trail of shadows on the stage; it aimed for the ghost, who had no physical body.

"Such speed! This leopard’s agility is off the charts!"

"Tiger is mighty!"

The cheers from the audience got louder. With a powerful pet added to the fray, Red-faced Tiger’s chances of victory were even higher! They all anticipated the blow the foreign player would suffer.

"Heh! Soul Split!"

Just as the black and white leopard was about to strike the soul, Stacey snapped her fingers. On her instruction, the soul became ethereal, the leopard surged through without leaving a scratch. In that instant, the soul split into five smaller ghosts, becoming more solid.

"Hee hee hee~"

The five little ghosts quickly filled the gap, surrounding both the leopard and Stacey, and pelted them with black magic. Consecutive 30-point damage was inflicted.

"Damn, these magic attacks are all fixed damage!"

Laughing Tiger, who was watching from below, narrowed his eyes. The slight unease he felt was magnifying. He hadn’t expected that the blond, green-eyed foreign player would be a hidden summoner class!

This is trouble...

The spectator players also saw the trickery involved, watching the scene tensely, hoping Red-faced Tiger had a way to cope.

"Think you beat me with these cheap tricks? Not that easy!"

Red-faced Tiger swung his hammers, repelling several ghosts before he bellowed, "Try tasting this little grandpa’s hammers!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Red-faced Tiger ricocheted off the ground like a cannonball, leaping over the five little ghosts to strike Stacey, not too far off with a "Jump Cut."

He knew that to deal with this summoner class job, he would have to give a quick decisive blow. To capture the thief, you need to capture the king first! Otherwise, over time, the pets alone could wear him down!
