The entire Zone B channel fell silent for a moment, and then an even greater uproar erupted.
"Crazy! Lu Ye is really crazy! He dares to raise the bet?!"
"One-fifth of the medicine! How many medicines does he have? Oh my god!"
Qi Hesong, who was watching the battle, stared coldly at the circling Genesis through the porthole of his "Flying Pigeon", which was like a palace on the sea.
When he saw the news that Lu Ye had raised his bet, a scornful arc appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Just a last-ditch effort.
He opened his betting interface without hesitation.
[Ding! Player Qi Hesong (Feige) calls and tops up! The current total bet is: twice the current total bet of Lu Ye (Genesis)!]
On the screen, the light representing Qi Hesong's bet suddenly surged, almost crushing Lu Ye's!
Qi Hesong cleared his throat and spoke loudly into the public channel.
"Lu Ye, since you want to lose so quickly, I'll grant you your wish. Medicine? Your meager supplies are nothing compared to my Qi Hesong's. Victory over you will be a piece of cake!"
Qi Hesong's always proud face finally couldn't hold back anymore, and a trace of gloom crept up his brows.
He spoke into the public channel, his voice carrying a subtle hint of threat.
"Lu Ye, stop now and leave yourself a chance to survive. Perhaps you can still survive in this sea for a few more days. Don't be ungrateful and try to confront me head-on. Your possessions are not enough."
Boy, I'm giving you a way out, you'd better know when to step down!
However, Lu Ye on the Genesis didn't even glance at him.
The only response to Qi Hesong was the light column on the betting interface that represented Lu Ye's bet, which once again - rose!
[Ding! Player Lu Ye (Genesis) has added to his medicine bet. The current total bet is: two-fifths of his personal medicine reserves!]
There was no shouting, no nonsense, only cold numbers, like an invisible slap in the face, slapping Qi Hesong hard.
"He's adding more?!" Qi Hesong's deputy's voice changed in the communication channel of Fei Ge.
"Boss, this guy...how many pills does he have?!"
Qi Hesong's eyes twitched violently, and Lu Ye's rising bet bar was reflected in his pupils, and a sense of absurdity arose spontaneously.
This is impossible! How could a newcomer get so many medical supplies?
He had nearly a hundred people on the Fei Ge, who went out to plunder every day. Combined with his carefully managed trading network, he made a fortune every day, and his medicine reserves were the largest in Area B.
But now, the total value of the "two-fifths" that Lu Ye showed off was almost catching up with all the inventory that he was proud of!
This guy...is he a mobile medical warehouse?!
"Boss," the deputy asked cautiously with a trembling voice.
"Lu Ye, this kid... doesn't seem to be under any pressure at all, like a bottomless pit. Should we continue to waste time with him? The stakes are too high. What if..."
If we lose, Fei Ge will lose all face in Area B!
Qi Hesong clenched his fists violently, his knuckles turning white from the force.
He stared at Lu Ye's glaring betting bar on the screen, his eyes bloodshot.
"Stop? Why should we stop?" He almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth, his voice hoarse.
"If he dares to add, I dare to follow! Give me more! Bet some of our reserves!"
Medical supplies! This is my territory!
If I lose to a young boy in this area, how can I, Qi Hesong, survive in Zone B in the future?!
He couldn't lose, and couldn't afford to lose! This wasn't just a gamble for material gains; it was a fight for face, a battle for the dignity of being the top player in Zone B!
At the same time, players far away in Area A were so excited and excited watching the arena scenes broadcast across areas.
"Holy crap! Master Lu is awesome! He's starting his own show again!"
"See? Those idiots in Area B are still betting on Qi and Song. They have no idea how terrifying Lu Shen is!"
In the public channel of Area A, an old message was pushed to the top. The poster was a player who had received help from Lu Ye in early transactions.
"Brothers, don't forget, it was you who single-handedly revitalized most of Area A through trading! Brother Lu's supplies are beyond your imagination!"
This message was instantly filled with responses.
"That's right! Brother Lu gave me this life! If it weren't for his batch of cheap life-saving medicine, I would have been fed to the fish long ago!"
"Brothers in Area A, are you still hesitating? Bet on Lu Shen! You must bet on Lu Shen!"
As a result, in the gambling market that spontaneously formed in Area A, the odds presented a completely opposite picture from those in Area B - if Lu Ye won, the odds were 1.1 to 1; if Qi Hesong won, the odds were 5 to 1! Even so, the flow of funds betting on Lu Ye continued to surge like a tidal wave.
These news, as if they had wings, spread to Area B and reached Qi Hesong's ears.
"Those people in Area A... are all holding Lu Ye?" Qi Hesong's face turned pale, and he could hardly believe his ears.
What do they know?
Lu Ye was just lucky and got some bargains in the novice area like Area A!
But deep in his heart, a sense of uneasiness was quietly growing.
"Pass on my orders!" Qi Hesong slammed the table, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes.
"Send out all the small fleets we control! High prices! No matter the cost! Buy up all the medical supplies on the market! As many as you can!"
"I just don't believe that Lu Ye alone can match the strength of my entire Fei Ge ship!"
He wanted to use his absolute material advantage to completely crush Lu Ye! The title of number one in District B must not be desecrated!
Lu Ye, who was at the center of the storm, remained as steady as a rock.
He even had time to swipe on the system panel to bring up another interface.
[Zero Two (Light Assault Boat): Engine Module (Damaged), Materials Required for Repair: Refined Titanium Alloy x5, High-Energy Crystal x2, Composite Fiber x10…]
These materials were a piece of cake for him as he had just upgraded his express delivery system and was able to specify the delivery of basic supplies.
He moved his mind, and the conversion module of the express delivery system in the cabin flickered faintly. Batches of basic materials appeared out of thin air and were quickly put into the repair and upgrade program of No. 02.
【Engine module repair completed! 】
[Engine module enhancement level +1...+2...+5! ]
[The Zero-Two engine system has been significantly enhanced, increasing the maximum speed by 100%! ]
Lu Ye's mouth curled up in a satisfied arc.
This "No. 02" is a small high-speed speedboat he had tinkered with before. It had not been able to perform at its maximum efficiency due to the lack of key materials, but now it came in handy.
"Bai Yue, the No. 02 engine is done." Lu Ye's voice was calm.
"Get ready, let it go for a stroll and stretch its legs. Step on the accelerator, fuel? Plenty of fuel!"
Su Baiyue took the order, and soon the side of the Genesis opened, and a small speedboat with smooth lines and a gleaming metallic luster rushed out like an arrow, leaving a dazzling white wave on the sea surface at an astonishing speed.
