《World of Experts 》Chapter 74: Receiving Money Through Fighting
Advertisement
“Hahahaha! We are getting rich. Just now, I bet 10,000 copper coins. I will get back almost 100,000 copper coins. Shake the Heaven is awesome.” The peanut gallery was very happy. The archers of Shake the Heaven were truly powerful. They were very confident in their victory.
In their view, as long as Shi Hao’s 10 knights charged and fought at close quarters against Pan Feng’s troops, sharing the pressure to successfully protect 10 archers with 30 fighters, the 10 archers could attack with all their power. Like that, because of system’s friendly fire protection, Shi Hao’s side wouldn’t receive any damage, but it would be game over for Pan Feng’s troops. The victory was certain!
“Boss! I want to raise the bet, can I?” Someone suddenly asked.
“Okay! But there will be a handling fee if you want to bet now. The handling fee is 1,000 per 10,000. Fixed price!” Pei Yuanqing said firmly. This was also something Shi Hao had instructed in advance. As long as someone wanted to temporarily raise the bet, he should make them pay a very high handling fee.
“Well! Very good, here, 20,000 copper coins. I bet on Shake the Heaven’s victory.” Many people in the peanut gallery bet some of their remaining money. They all thought that this was a good investment. 20,000 would turn into almost 190,000! It was like making money without any pressure. As for who this mysterious dealer was and whether he would lose money or not, these people didn’t care.
But this was exactly what Shi Hao wanted to see the most. Shi Hao quietly said. Everyone in the peanut gallery, I’m sorry.
“It’s done, I received 500,000 copper coins as a handling fee.” Pei Yuanqing quickly sent a whisper to Shi Hao. Shi Hao was full of energy and his acting skills were flourishing.
Shi Hao waved his sword and pointed at his 10 knights as if he wanted to order the knights to charge as the peanut gallery wanted. But Shi Hao’s hand slipped. Oh! I’m sorry. Shi Hao’s Water Cloud Sword fell to the ground. This won’t do. Shi Hao quickly jumped off the Cloud Mist Beast and rushed over to pick up the Water Cloud Sword.

However, the battlefield was extremely fast-changing. Would Shi Hao still have a chance to do these things? Pan Feng’s knights had already rushed over and engaged with those 30 fighters.
Speaking about it, if one truly wanted to calculate, then these knights’ attack was 105 points, which was not low! However, the defense of Shi Hao’s fighters was 108 points, which made things a bit more difficult as they practically wouldn’t receive any damage. But they were also actors. They took the initiative to pretend to take damage, and slowly made way. The path gradually became more and more obvious and also smooth. It seemed that the cavalrymen would be able to breakthrough the defense line very soon! Naturally, a lot of cavalrymen had also fallen under the attacks of Shi Hao’s archers. However, these were all necessary sacrifices for victory. Pan Feng was very determined.
Bu the people in the peanut gallery weren’t so determined. Their will wasn’t so firm.
“F***! This Shake the Heaven is a pit. How can this happen? Intentional, Shake the Heaven is definitely doing this intentionally. Otherwise, why would he delay in giving a simple order? Did he bet on his own loss?” The peanut gallery panicked. At this moment, if Pan Feng’s knights charged and directly faced the archers, then they would instantly die for certain. And without archers, Shi Hao’s remaining soldiers would be a pile of junk. A fighter basically couldn’t defeat a knight. It was impossible even if the fighter was several levels higher. At that time, Shi Hao would have just 10 knights, but would there be any hope with just them?
Naturally, this way of thinking was half correct. The attack of Shi Hao’s fighters was just 69.6 points, which truly couldn’t break the defense of Pan Feng’s knights. However, Shi Hao’s archers were protected by the shield of Shadow Dragon Soul, so they wouldn’t be killed instantly. They could take at least two attacks. Only the third attack would kill them. This was the reason why Shi Hao dared to perform such a play. His cavalrymen were always ready, moreover, he still had another hidden trump in his hands. However, the people in the peanut gallery didn’t know about these things and panicked.

“Quick! Quick! Quick! I want to bet again, I can’t lose like this. I want to bet on that historical NPC’s victory!” The peanut gallery hastily wrote down a lot of IOUs and bet in succession. They bet with 10 times more capital on Pan Feng’s victory.
On Pei Yuanqing’s side, those who came were also not rejected. Anyone could bet at will. In any case, the handling fees wouldn’t be waived. But they would earn back the handling fees after their bet won.
Therefore, within a short moment, the peanut gallery finished raising their bets. And at this moment, Pan Feng’s knights also finished breaking through the frontline
This time, upon seeing the knights had broken through the defense line, the peanut gallery’s hearts were slightly balanced. In their eyes, Shi Hao had already lost. Fortunately, they move fast. When Shi Hao lost, they wouldn’t have any extra losses. After all, the reward of Pan Feng’s victory would more than compensate for the losses.
“Charge!” The remaining 30 or so knights under Pan Feng charged forward bravely. Unfortunately, their charge was doomed to not reach the archers. Why?
Haha! It was because of the Slow Debuff of Cloud Mist Beast. Shi Hao similarly waved his hand, and since the speed of Pan Feng’s knights was similar to archers now, they couldn’t catch up, moreover, they also couldn’t run away. It was miserable.
Thereupon, the result of this competition came quickly. Pan Feng’s troops were wiped out and Shi Hao’s side remained unscathed.
Upon seeing this strange scene, the peanut gallery was shocked.
“This is! F****! I remember it. At that time, in West River Dragon Pond, there was also this strange debuff, making me unable to escape and I was killed by that historical NPC Wei Wentong. As it turned out that’s Shake the Heaven’s doing! I want to report him.”
“Eh! That dealer, how come he is running over to Shake the Heaven? Not good, they were together.”
Alas! These people discovered it a bit too late. It was already useless.
Shi Hao’s troops neatly surrounded Pan Feng and Shi Hao walked over to the side of the peanut gallery and said: “That’s right! We were together, what about it? I calculated just now, now, I don’t owe you all anything. As long as the handling fees are settled, this matter will be over. Otherwise, let me see, ah, I will give you an example, this village has 1500 gold. If the handling fees are not paid, then it’s perfectly justified for me to confiscate them. By the way, let me tell you all a piece of good news. The first 10 people who go to Twin Dragons Village to pay the handling pees will get a 5% discount. I won’t say anything more, you all can do as you see fit.”
Speaking about it, Shi Hao truly had a black heart. The handling fee was not cheap. The handling fee of 10% would definitely make people cry for a day. However, they had to pay the handling fees, because the loss of not paying the handling fee was the entire 100%! Moreover, they might have to rush over to the Twin Dragons Village, because the first ten would get the discount of 5%, which was not a small amount. It was enough to arm a squad of 100 people without a horse. As it turned out that a bunch of people had already left.
“Okay! Lord General Pan Feng, now, it’s your turn to honor your promise.” Shi Hao looked back and said.
“You! You are amazing, I will give you…, let’s go to the place of Lord Perfect first. Only there, I can transfer Divine and Might Alliance’s contribution points.” Pan Feng lowered his head and said. He was very said and dreary.
He was helpless. After he paid all his contribution points, he would lose his official position. And without an official position, he wouldn’t be able to act so ostentatiously. At that time, even Wang Ling, who he looked down upon before, would crush him, leaving him helpless.
Shi Hao and Pan Feng same to the Hibiscus County’s Council Hall, and Perfect Zhang Han appeared…

The Legend of the Fake Hero
*I don't own the cover image**This has the Tragedy Tag; please no genre hate. Bad things can happen to good people, just like in real life (not that they will.

Approximately nine months ago, the event which became known as "The Convergence" occurred. People on Earth began to obtain powers. Some received them for seemingly no reason while others had obtained them after they had returned from the many different worlds that they had unwillingly been abducted to. These new worlds existed beyond time and space, and many could have different rules different from what we know as standard reality. That is because these many worlds seem to have traits taken from imagination. Things from stories and myths, like magic and plots, existed in these worlds as if they were inspired by them, and that was only a start.On earth, there was a young man. On appearance, he could be considered only slightly better-than-average. The only thing he was known for was his incredible mind that left him feeling bored and out of touch with reality. But soon he would leave this reality altogether. One moment he was lying in his bed. The next, he was face-to-face with a beautiful young lady who he had just woken up upon him falling into her bed. This young man has an incredible fate and will soon visit many worlds, gain many powers, and meet many women who, like the young girl whose bed he had fallen into, will blow him away.Upload Schedule (Updated 3/28/2021)Upload one chapter every-other-weekend PST (with rare exception, typically due to length).Breaking Fate/Origin Arc (Done) Albion Arc: Vol 1 - Origin, Vol 2 - Rise of the Red Dragon (Done) New Earth Arc: Vol 3 - New Earth (Done) Dealing with the Past Arc: Vol 4 - Ghosts of the Past, Vol 5 - The Dracul Descends, Vol 6 - War of FateBound Fate Arc Fake Hero Arc Vol 7 - Martel Side Stories #1 Shield Hero Arc Vol 8 - Second Chance Vol 9 - The Adventure Begins (Current) Vol 10 - First Quest Vol 11 - TBD (Writing [37%]) (Multiple Future Volumes TBD)Currently ONLY posting on Scribble Hub, Royal Road, and Wattpad (Same user name)If you find my work on other sites please let me know!
