Lu Yiming's appearance seemed to lessen the tension between the two sides.
But in reality, tensions between the two sides are already running high.
"Heh heh, kid, you're dead meat!" Liu Zikai said coldly as he entered the virtual combat room.
"Why did you provoke him?" At this moment, Lu Yiming slapped Liu Zikai on the forehead and said irritably, "Although there is no such thing as a freshman king in our school, that kid is definitely the freshman king. It's best not to offend someone like that!"
It has to be said that, in private, Lu Yiming still favors Liu Zikai, after all, they are both in the student council.
However, Lu Yiming did not intend to slander Jiang Chu.
The reasons are actually quite valid.
Someone like Jiang Chu, as long as the school protects and nurtures him well, and he himself is ambitious, he will definitely succeed within one or two years.
In particular, in the last two years, the military technology level of all camps has been soaring at a visible speed, and military academy students are getting stronger with each generation.
"Judging from Jiang Chu's current career trajectory, in two years, he will be at least a colonel, and may even reach the rank of major general. His military responsibilities will be similar to mine, and his position will be at least deputy brigade commander."
Lu Yiming patiently persuaded, "The military circles, both domestically and internationally, are all about interpersonal relationships and social niceties. Do you really want to offend a rising star in the military?"
"Brother Ming, I can't stand this! Why does he have such high purchasing authority while I have such low authority? I also want to help my class with benefits!" Liu Zikai said dejectedly.
"I won't answer that question now. We'll talk about it after you're done fighting," Lu Yiming said. "Brother, promise me you won't fight Jiang Chu anymore, okay? Consider it paving the way for your future. You might need his help someday. Don't cut off all your options."
"I... let me think about it!" Liu Zikai said.
After patting Liu Zikai on the shoulder, Lu Yiming walked out of the virtual combat room and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Liu Zikai's narrow-mindedness has been a long-standing problem, and it's difficult to resolve.
He remembered a year ago, he felt that a freshman was getting a bit arrogant and was bullying him by taking advantage of his position.
As a result, in his sophomore year, that freshman matured and proved him wrong. He then left Longdu Military University in a dashing manner and transferred to Xinghai Military University.
Now, that person has become a shining new star in the Star Navy. Although he is only a sophomore, he has already reached the rank of Senior Sergeant Major, and is very close to becoming a Special Grade Sergeant. Moreover, he has unlocked the third layer of gene lock and is now a mid-level powerhouse.
In comparison, Liu Zikai has only just unlocked the first layer of his genetic lock so far. It's really hard to say when he will be able to unlock the second layer.
Although his sniping skills were very good at school, even top-notch, he was still some distance from being the best.
Lu Yiming wasn't very optimistic about Liu Zikai's chances in this match.
"Boss, go for it! Blow him to smithereens!" In another virtual combat room, Huo Xiao said as he helped Jiang Chu put on his equipment.
Nowadays, the arrogant Huo Xiao only respects Jiang Chu, but he also has a very good relationship with the other members of the Brotherhood.
Jiang Chu asked, "Old Huo, have you placed your bets? And you guys, what are you all doing? Have you placed your bets yet?"
Huo Xiao was stunned: "Place your bet and you're done?"
Chen Weilin scolded, "Idiot, of course you should place a bet! Don't you know this match is a high-stakes game?"
Huo Xiao was stunned after reading it: "Holy crap, the prize pool is already 200 million KP? That's insane!"
Ye Ze asked, "Boss, what should we do?"
"Yeah, boss, how do we place bets?" Huo Xiao asked as well.
"Don't bet on the outcome, there's no money to be made," Jiang Chu said. "Bet on the score difference, I suggest you bet on me winning by more than 30 points, whatever Liu's name was again!"
Everyone was embarrassed. Boss, how much do you underestimate your opponent? You've even forgotten their name!
However, everyone listened to Jiang Chu's words and chose this option.
Huo Xiao asked, "How many?"
"Buy as much as you have on hand." Jiang Chu looked at Huo Xiao and said meaningfully, "I didn't plan to pay you back for all the KP I swindled from you last time, because I earned it through my own abilities. It's the same this time. I've bet 20 million KP on myself to win. You guys decide what to do!"
"I still have 12 million left! To hell with it, I'm done with this!" Huo Xiao was ruthless to others, but even more ruthless to himself, and he gambled away a huge sum.
Everyone started betting, and no one placed a bet less than 5 million.
At this point, the prize pool had rolled over to 600 million KP.
Jiang Chu chuckled and said, "Tell the brothers to all bet that I'll win by more than 40 points! Make sure every single one of us is notified! Also, if anyone leaks this to me, I'll kill them!"
"Don't worry, there are no traitors in our band of brothers!" Huo Xiao said, patting his chest.
Meanwhile, Tao Yong had already sent a message to the Brotherhood group, asking everyone to participate and, regardless of cost, to throw money around like crazy!
The Brothers had always trusted Jiang Chu, so they all invested heavily in him.
Jiang Chu said, "Also, tell the brothers, don't take advantage of me for nothing! After it's done, each of you will give me 20% of the net profit!"
Everyone nodded again, since if they won this bet, it would naturally be Jiang Chu's credit.
Having received favors from the boss, how could one not repay him?
When Tao Yong sent out the message, everyone readily agreed.
Jiang Chu smiled with satisfaction and then said, "Everyone, go out and wait for my good news. Watch how I crush that Kai guy."
Everyone was once again ashamed.
