《World of Experts 》Chapter 73: Starting Bet
Advertisement
“Haha! As it turned out to be General Pan Feng. Long time no see, long time no see. By the way, where is your old friend Wang Ling? Has he told you anything?” When Pan Feng saw Shi Hao, Shi Hao also saw Pan Feng, and he was very happy. One should know that Pan Feng had given Shi Hao 30 cavalrymen last time. This time, would there be more surprises? Shi Hao was looking forward to it.
However, Pan Feng didn’t know that Shi Hao was having such bad thoughts. Pan Feng just wanted to kill Shi Hao in his heart.
Pan Feng said: “Ah? A small fry like Wang Ling, how would I know where he ran to? Don’t lump me together with him! Last time, he pitted me. This time, I won’t be tricked. Do you dare to compete with me? We are both generals leading troops. We don’t fight by ourselves. You pick 50 soldiers and I will also pick 50 soldiers. We can go outside the county and have a match with real swords and spears (unlike last time in Tranquil Water Village where killing was prohibited), and see who is the hero and who is the coward. Do you dare or not?”
Shi Hao smiled! Why not dare? Yes, Shi Hao also knew that Pan Feng’s troops were equipped better. However, he had super bluffs of Soul of the Warrior and Shadow Dragon Soul. Since Pan Feng wanted to try, he could try. Shi Hao was happy to give him a chance. However, it was still the same old rule. He must act. Only after he acted, he could take the appearance fee.
Shi Hao pretended to be doubtful and as if hesitating, he didn’t answer for a long time.
When Pan Feng saw this, he berated: “Humph! What a coward! How about this, I’ll kindly give you an advantage. I lose as long as I can’t repel your troops. Moreover, if I lose, all my contribution points of the Divine and Mighty Alliance will be yours. Don’t look down upon Divine and Mighty Alliance’s contribution points. It can be used to choose official positions! However, if you lose, I want you to give me 60 knights!”

Pan Feng just wanted 60 knights after he won. It was not because he was kind to Shi Hao, rather he had not yet obtained the approval of Divine and Mighty Alliance. Therefore, he couldn’t do anything too much to Shi Hao’s Twin Dragons Village unless it was a special circumstance. However, he had to give all his Divine and Might Alliance’s contribution points after he lost! This was just giving Shi Hao a big gift. It just so happened that Shi Hao also wanted a position in the Divine and Mighty Alliance. With the title of Divine and Mighty Alliance, no one would dare to openly and unreasonably play with him.
Shi Hao pretended to tremble and replied: “Fine…”
Although Shi Hao’s acting skill was inferior to Ye Feng, like he who stays near vermilion gets stained red, Shi Hao’s acting was still passable. At least, last time and this time, Pan Feng was duped.
Pan Feng was overjoyed and said: “Let’s go! Don’t dawdle. My broadsword is already thirsty.”
Shi Hao and Pan Feng led their troops outside the county. Alas! At this moment, prestigious village chiefs had gathered inside Hibiscus County. They all had heard the conversation between Shi Hao and Pan Feng. Could they still miss such an interesting event? Of course not. They all also followed behind Shi Hao and Pan Feng to a small plain roughly 5 miles away from Hibiscus County.
Speaking about it, West Flower Region was filled with ravines. It was not easy to find such a suitable place for the cavalry to charge back and forth.
“You all, guess! Who will win?” Someone among the peanut gallery asked.
“Do you still need to guess? Don’t you see? The troops of that historical NPC are all elites. They will certainly not lose on the same level. Moreover, their items are also made by Hibiscus County for their private use. This matter… Even if Shake the Heaven is the number one player, it will be hard to win this.” Someone else replied.
“But I think that since Shake the Heaven dared to take this challenge, he must have some confidence. Moreover, look, his costume might have a skill. I also participated in that battle. Although I was detained in the Novice Village for three days, I got a special bronze lottery ticket. As far as I know, it has a chance to draw a costume with skill. What Shake the Heaven received was a diamond grade lottery ticket, so, this match still has suspense.” Someone analyzed.

However, the opposers and supporters always opposed each other. Therefore, the discussion among the peanut gallery became more and more intense, until someone said: “How about we start betting? You cannot change the bet after you put down the money. Shake the Heaven’s odd is 1:9.5, and the odd of the other fellow is 1:1.1.”
Eh! Who said this? It was Pei Yuanqing!
Pei Yuanqing had gotten instruction from Shi Hao via a whisper. So, he disguised himself as a player and ran over here to start a bet, in order to bring a huge profit to Twin Dragons Village. This kind of thing was like betting on a sport. Everyone wouldn’t invest too much, but a lot of people would participate.
Soon, the onlooking peanut gallery made their bets.
And Pei Yuanqing whispered back the result of everyone’s bets. Shi Hao looked. Oh! There were actually a lot of people who betted on him. But this was normal, after all, his odd was very high. It would be a bit unreasonable if no one bet on him. Even that fellow who said that Shi Hao would lose betted on Shi Hao’s victory. However, would Shi Hao truly let everyone get what they wanted?
“Very good! Let’s start.” Shi Hao smiled and pulled out his Water Cloud Sword. Among the 50 soldiers he selected, there were 30 fighters, 10 knights and 10 archers. Under Shi Hao’s command, the fighters formed a meat wall, persistently guarding the archers, and the archers continuously shot arrows. As for the knights, they formed a wedge-shaped formation, ready to charge with great force at any time.
In comparison, Pan Feng’s side was full of cavalrymen. Those cavalrymen under Pan Feng were very fast. They dodged left and right, but their charging speed on the plain was still extremely fast. They were occasionally hit by the arrows of Shi Hao’s archers, but the damage was still not small.
One should know that the troops under both Shi Hao and Pan Feng were level 12. Calculating carefully, the cavalrymen under Pan Feng had 81 Defense and 36 HP. And the max-attack of Shi Hao’s archers reached 108 points, which was enough to kill the opponents in two hits.
“How can this be!” Pan Feng was dumbfounded. After all, without the 20% all-stats bluff of Shi Hao’s Soul of the Warrior skill, the max-attack of Shi Hao’s archers would just be 90 points. That was already powerful enough. A few arrows could directly kill Pan Feng’s troops.
“Full power charge!” Pan Feng also didn’t care about the consequences. In any case, if he delayed any longer, then his knights would be completely wiped out by Shi Hao’s archers. Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that there were still enough troops, he ordered to directly rush over and break the flesh wall of the fighters who protected the archers. Afterward, kill all the archers and get the win! At least, Pan Feng thought that he could still definitely win this.
What a pity! Moron Pan Feng’s judgment had an error. Thinking seriously after seeing this situation, how could one not notice that Shi Hao must have a bluff skill? Moreover, since he had a bluff skill, wouldn’t there be a high chance that he also had a bluff skill that affects the defense? Moreover, what was the CD of this skill? Pan Feng didn’t consider these questions.
But fortunately, Pan Feng didn’t consider these things. If he had considered these things, then he might have chosen to give up. And after he lost, Shi Hao would have also lost a lot of blood! Don’t forget that Pei Yuanqing had opened the betting! And everyone had betted on Shi Hao who had high odds. Could Shi Hao still win in this situation? Of course not…
