“Let’s have another match,” Huo Xiao said without hesitation. “You were using underhanded tactics just now. If you’re so capable, let’s go head-to-head! We’ll have a five-minute sniper duel. Are you in?”
The crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger.
But most people chose to remain silent, instead focusing their attention entirely on Jiang Chu.
"Ha," Jiang Chu said, "If you're willing to die, I'm willing to bury you."
"Okay! See you in the virtual combat room!" Huo Xiao said, and was about to go upstairs.
"Wait!" Jiang Chu called out to Huo Xiao.
"What, are you scared?" Huo Xiao asked coldly without turning his head.
"I, Jiang Chu, am not one to act without a profit," Jiang Chu said calmly. "I don't play games without stakes."
"Is your family that short of money?" Huo Xiao asked.
"No, my family is not short of money, but I don't need to spend my parents' money. I'm all grown up now and can earn money to support myself."
Jiang Chu's words were incredibly impactful, making at least half of the freshmen present feel ashamed of themselves.
They have spent countless amounts of money over the years to achieve what they have today.
However, since his rebirth, Jiang Chu has basically been supporting himself by earning his own money, and has even started paying living expenses to his family.
Huo Xiao felt a burning sensation on his face again; he had been slapped in the face once more.
Jiang Chu didn't say much, but every word he uttered was like a knife or a sword, or a series of slaps across his face.
Huo Xiao is the kind of guy who achieved his current success thanks to his parents' continuous investment, and it was top-tier investment at that.
“Alright, this time I want to bet with you…” Huo Xiao said, “10 million KP!”
"Forget it, don't waste your family's money," Jiang Chu said. "How about 2 million? If you lose, you'll at least have something to show your family."
"Just 10 million! What, you don't dare?" Huo Xiao asked.
"Do you only feel good when your dad slaps you across the face?" Jiang Chu said coldly.
"I'm asking you, do you dare?" Huo Xiao glared at Jiang Chu and said.
"How about this... 500,000 per person!" At this moment, Wang Li stepped forward to smooth things over.
After all, he was taught by Huo Xiao's father, so he had to give Huo Xiao a way out.
"A head?" Huo Xiao was taken aback. Although he was arrogant and domineering, he would still listen to Wang Li to some extent.
"Well, a net win for each kill is 500,000 KP." Wang Li chuckled awkwardly. "You'll be classmates for several more years, so don't let things get too tense."
Jiang Chu said, "I will obey the instructor's orders."
“This is not an order, just a suggestion,” Wang Li said, his impression of Jiang Chu completely changed at this moment.
Jiang Chu is truly a very steady, strong, and obedient person. It would be difficult for a student like him not to become strong.
Huo Xiao nodded reluctantly, "Heh, then you won't lose much money. Fine, I'll give Brother Wang face and I agree!"
At this moment, Jiang Chu looked at Wang Li and sighed, "You've really screwed him over!"
Wang Li was slightly taken aback, clearly not quite understanding Jiang Chu's meaning.
After all, 1v1 is Huo Xiao's forte.
Huo Xiao ignored Jiang Chu and went straight upstairs.
You're dead meat, kid. In a 1v1 sniper duel with me, no one has ever come out unscathed. So what if he's Tao Yong? He still won't get the upper hand!
"I heard that Huo Xiao's 1v1 sniping skills are even stronger than Tao Yong's!" At this moment, Cai Wujin reappeared in front of everyone and said with a smile, "I've decided to put up 1 million KP and bet on Huo Xiao!"
The burly man looked completely bewildered: "Curly Hair, you're such a go-with-the-wind guy! Didn't you just bet on Jiang Chu to win?"
"Times have changed! Can't I bet on Huo Xiao now?" Cai Wujin chuckled and called out to Huo Xiao and Jiang Chu, who were about to go upstairs, "Hey, you two big shots, are you opening the betting?"
Huo Xiao stopped and sneered, "Of course, if you want to bet, then follow along!"
Seeing Huo Xiao's confident expression and Cai Wujin's sudden counterattack, everyone went wild and placed bets.
The instructors who had just lost their KP also started placing bets.
“Um…” Wang Li stopped a deputy instructor.
"Brother Wang, does that mean we can't gamble?" the deputy instructor asked somewhat guiltily.
Of course, this kind of gambling is permitted by the state.
"Help me buy 2 million..." Wang Li hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll bet on Jiang Chu."
"Huh?" The assistant instructor was completely dumbfounded.
After a while, everyone finished betting on KP and went upstairs to watch the game.
Jiang Chu and Huo Xiao then went into their respective rooms.
After booking a room, Huo Xiao connected with Jiang Chu on the phone and coldly asked, "Which map do you want? Pick whichever you like."
“No, you can choose whatever you like,” Jiang Chu said.
"Alright, let's go to the sniper arena then!" Huo Xiao said without any hesitation.
The sniper battlefield is an exceptionally spacious map, an enormous rectangle.
It is about 900 meters long and 600 meters wide.
The wide side will spawn 5 ten-meter diameter bunkers as obstacles, which cannot be penetrated.
Both sides were randomly spawned on the two wide sides and engaged in a firefight at a distance of nearly 900 meters.
After death, you are resurrected and have 1 second of invincibility, which is 2 seconds shorter than in a normal individual match.
This is a map that is fair to both sides.
The match lasted 5 minutes, and Jiang Chu and Huo Xiao had to settle their accounts after the match.
The winner takes 500,000 KP from the loser for every kill they gain.
For example, if Jiang Chu wins 30 to 22, he will have a net kill of 8 against Huo Xiao and will take 4 million KP from Huo Xiao.
Seeing Jiang Chu nod, Huo Xiao felt a sense of relief.
You've regained your pride, kid. Don't you know I'm the king of this map? Not to mention you, even Tao Yong's win rate against me on this map is less than 50%!
