Gao Lin was somewhat astonished:
"You're already going to get beaten up by us, so even if we increase the bet, we'll still get beaten up! What good will it do if we add more money?"
Lin Xu had gotten somewhat used to Gao Lin's intellectual disability.
Gao Feng, however, couldn't stand his brother's idiocy and glared at Lin Xu:
"It seems that the talented Lin is very confident in himself? You really want to fight us brothers?"
Lin Xu waved his hand impatiently:
"If you're going to fight, then fight! Stop talking nonsense, I have things to do!"
Now I'm really not sure about the peak.
He dared to approach Lin Xu for one reason: he and Gao Lin were born with exceptional physiques. During the novice island lord stage, almost all commoner island lords lacked the resources to strengthen themselves, so they essentially took advantage of a window of opportunity to blackmail others using their physical strength.
The second reason is that Young Master Chen gave his two brothers some enhancement fruits.
Although consuming that substance won't cause a qualitative change or upgrade, it will greatly enhance one's physical strength, making them far superior to ordinary people.
Could it be that this young man also received financial support from some wealthy young master and underwent a similar transformation?
Gao Feng looked at Lin Xu with suspicion.
However, he remembered the task Chen Shao had given him, and he dared not back down at this moment, so he said:
"Alright, my brother and I can come up with 400,000, but if you want to accept the bet, you'll have to fight alongside both of us at the same time!"
Gao Lin, standing nearby, opened his mouth and asked:
"Brother, is 400,000 all the money Young Master Chen gave us? We just handed it all over like that?"
Gao Feng glared at Gao Lin.
Has this stupid brother forgotten what he said?
Since they are guaranteed to win any contest, they will get back any bets they make, so why bother with so much?
peak:
"Young Master Lin, you wouldn't be too afraid to accept, would you?"
Lin Xu smiled:
"Alright, let's apply for island notarization, sign the betting agreement, and start the game now!"
Gao Feng had been staring intently at Lin Xu's face. After Lin Xu finished speaking, Gao Feng looked at him carefully for a moment, then revealed a smug smile:
"I understand! You truly deserve to be called the great scholar Lin. If your performance hadn't been so over-the-top, my brother and I might have actually been fooled!"
Lin Xu was taken aback:
"What?"
Gao Feng was smug:
"Lin, you've only just become the island's owner and haven't received any funding from any big companies. You have no leverage to fight against us, do you?"
Before Lin Xu could answer, Gao Feng continued:
"But that's where your cleverness lies! You pretended to readily agree to our bets, and even raised your stakes, just to make us doubt ourselves and think that you have some hidden cards up your sleeve and that your strength has increased!"
"If we have even the slightest doubt or lack of confidence, I imagine you'll start bluffing and pretending to be incredibly strong, right?"
"If we believe you then, you'll take the opportunity to pressure us and force us to back down. That way, we won't be able to punish you, and we'll definitely be punished by Young Master Chen when we get back. Then you'll win!"
"What a clever scheme! What a brilliant plan! No wonder you're the top student in the school. Ordinary people really can't do that kind of wisdom and planning!"
Gao Feng, with an all-knowing look in his eyes, shook his head and began to sigh.
Lin Xu's face twitched slightly as he watched, feeling rather speechless.
"I thought Gao Feng was the one with normal intelligence among the two brothers, but now it seems that conclusion was drawn too early."
Lin Xu thought to himself silently.
Gao Lin glared at Lin Xu, then coldly snorted:
"How despicable! What a treacherous fellow!"
"If it weren't for my older brother's intelligence, we brothers would have been fooled by you!"
Lin Xu looked at the two of them speechlessly:
"Alright, alright, you're all right. Can we start the notarization and the competition now? I'm in a hurry!"
"Hmph! You can't fool us anymore with this look!"
Gao Lin said fiercely.
Gao Feng waved his hand, revealing a smug expression:
"That's right, although Lin, the great talent, is very clever and calculating, this world is all about strength. Without strength, no matter how many schemes you have, you can be destroyed with a single punch!"
As he said this, Gao Feng leaned closer to Lin Xu and whispered:
"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Bai family has always thought highly of you and even asked you if you wanted financial assistance. Tell me, if you accept that young lady's financial assistance, how would my brother and I dare to mess with you?"
Gao Feng withdrew his face, revealing a look of smugness and a hint of disdain:
"As a commoner, you don't even appreciate the favor of powerful families. You even reject those young ladies. Kid, you deserve your miserable end!"
Both parties agreed to the wager, the island rules took effect immediately, and the wager began.
Gao Lin threw a punch without hesitation, a sinister smile on his face:
"Kid, I've wanted to smash your face for ages!"
Although the Gao brothers were tall, their faces were unfortunately ugly and strange, so it was impossible for them not to feel a little jealous of a handsome guy like Lin Xu.
At the same time Gao Lin made his move, Gao Feng maliciously kicked out from the side and behind.
He wanted to destroy Lin Xu's internal organs as much as possible.
In the island era, internal organ damage wasn't considered a particularly serious injury, but top-tier healing fruits required a large sum of money.
If Lin Xu loses all his loans, he will definitely not be able to afford the huge medical bills and will only be able to slowly recover through cheap public healthcare. He will then be unable to focus on the competition for island ownership.
However, just as the two brothers were feeling smug, a fist suddenly flashed past them.
Gao Lin's ugly face was hit by a punch, and his features became even uglier as they twisted.
As for Gao Feng, one of his legs was directly bent by the impact, and with a crack, the bone broke.
Then another fist flashed by, hitting Gao Feng's face and disfiguring the ugly guy as well.
Lin Xu calmly withdrew his fist.
He is currently at level 6 physical fitness.
This level of physical fitness doesn't seem to be very high.
But in reality, each improvement in physical and mental condition brings about a tremendous qualitative change.
A physique capable of undergoing six qualitative changes is a level that no novice island owners can achieve. Even some veteran island owners with seven or eight years of experience may not be able to raise their physique to level six, and they might not even be able to reach level three.
Lin Xu's physique is strong enough to overwhelm the two brothers, who are not even at level 2 physique.
He approached Gao Feng and gave a cold smile:
“Gao Feng, you’re right. In this world, strength is the most important thing. Without strength, even if you have the support of a big company or the backing of a rich young master, you will still be eliminated.”
Gao Feng's face was filled with disbelief:
"How is this possible! How can you be so strong!"
“We’ve investigated. You haven’t received any funding from any other organization, nor have you obtained any special benefits!”
"You can't possibly be this strong!"
Lin Xu smiled:
Do you want to know the reason?
Gao Feng's ugly face was already covered in patches of blue and white, but he still struggled to hear the information.
He knew he had lost badly this time, but if he could get any information about Lin Xu and pass it on to Young Master Chen, his punishment would be lighter.
Lin Xu leaned close to Gao Feng's ear and whispered:
"The reason I became stronger, of course, is because of fate..."
