After hearing these words, everyone could see Jin Shangyue's purpose.
She didn't care what the competition was, only the stakes.
Many people felt that Jin Shangyue was too arrogant, ignorant of her own limitations, and too conceited.
She came from a remote little town, and the world she had been exposed to from childhood, her horizons, and the resources she had access to were completely different from those of the aristocratic scions who grew up in the capital of the Dragon Martial Empire. Their world, understanding, horizons, and resources were all worlds apart.
In a real, hard-fought battle, Jin Shangyue would be no match for any of the scions of prominent families present.
In the previous game instances, it was just good luck and a fluke.
I was lucky enough to be randomly assigned to a dungeon where no one could use their cultivation abilities.
It made everyone, like Jin Shangyue, become ordinary people.
This allowed Jin Shangyue to achieve a lucky victory through opportunism.
But this time it's different. In reality, it's a clash of true talent and ability, with no room for luck.
It's a competition of personal family background, connections, and resource allocation, and the skills that come together to build up those skills.
Therefore, in the eyes of most guests, Jin Shangyue's current reaction was as if she had won a game by luck, which made her arrogant and conceited, thinking that she could really be better than the young masters from noble families present.
Completely nonsensical.
Yuan Xinglu and others, who were eager to use this game to teach Jin Shangyue a lesson, sneered inwardly.
That ignorant fool is inflated; it's good that he's so arrogant. He'll fall even harder later!
Yuan Xinglu was the first to speak: "Since Miss Jin is so straightforward, then I'll be direct too. I choose to have a PK with Miss Jin."
"As for the content..." Yuan Xinglu's eyes flickered for a moment: "After all, I am four years older than Miss Jin. If I were to compete with Miss Jin in martial arts, it would be a bit of bullying. How about we compete in making medicine?"
"Of course, there are still some fair rules when we play games."
"Although it is said to be a personal PK game between me and Miss Jin, as long as it is not stipulated in advance that we must go ourselves, we can choose whether to go ourselves or find someone to stand in for us."
"However, the replacement we find must not be older than the two main participants in the competition."
Furthermore, it can be seen from the first round of the game instance that there is an unwritten rule for the games at the banquet.
People who play games together cannot be too far apart in age; the age difference can be no more than six years.
Jin Shangyue smiled and had no objection: "Alright, what's the bet?"
“My right hand.” Yuan Xinglu looked at Jin Shangyue with deep eyes: “I lost, so I’ll give you my right hand. You lost, so give me your right hand.”
The banquet hall fell silent instantly.
Everyone stared at Yuan Xinglu and Jin Shangyue, their eyes filled with the excitement and anticipation of onlookers who had just gotten their hands on some good gossip.
What's the most interesting thing at banquets held by these powerful and wealthy families?
Of course, the most interesting games are the PK (player versus player) gambling games!
At this time of year, sparks fly, stories abound, and anything can happen.
This was also the only opportunity in the Dragon Martial Empire to publicly take revenge and kill someone.
It is also a good opportunity to make a profit.
Yu Han's face darkened, and he said sarcastically, "The Yuan family really is vindictive and can't take a joke. They're already in a hurry to take revenge on my granddaughter?"
"It's obvious they came back to bully my granddaughter and are openly taking advantage of her!"
Yuan Zhou, his face cold, looked at Yu Han with a sinister gaze: "This competition isn't something you can only do yourself. Is your Yu family just sitting around doing nothing?"
"If you lose in the end, you can only blame your Yu family for being incompetent and unable to protect your own child's hand!"
The Yuan family has a senior pharmacist in charge.
Because the Yuan family produced a direct descendant of a high-level pharmacist and also supported two other pharmacists of the same level, the Yuan family became even more arrogant and unscrupulous.
The Yu family also employs a senior pharmacist, but in terms of numbers, they are outnumbered.
This is clearly an attempt to bully the Yu family and get Jin Shangyue's help.
Jin Shangyue had already made her plans. At this time of openly seizing benefits, she had no interest in Yuan Xinglu's mere hand.
“I’m not interested in your hands. I’ve heard that you own private property in twenty states and have a private guard of ten thousand men. I’m more interested in those.”
"If you win, I'll give you my hand, however you want."
“If you lose, I don’t want your hands, I want your five states and your three thousand private guards.”
Jin Shangyue didn't ask for too much at once, otherwise the other party definitely wouldn't agree.
This number is just right; even if Yuan Xinglu himself is unwilling, the Yuan family will make him agree.
After all, these things meant nothing to the patriarch who doted on his granddaughter.
Being able to avenge Yuan Yuan by chopping off one of her hands would surely be a worthwhile deal for Old Master Yuan.
To maximize her profits from this banquet, Jin Shangyue gathered information in advance and even consulted with the Yu family patriarch and his wife to learn about the inner workings of these powerful and influential families.
As expected, Yuan Xinglu's expression changed, and he looked at Jin Shangyue with a gloomy expression, clearly unwilling to agree.
But then Old Master Yuan said, "Since you like it, our Xinglu family will naturally agree. Everyone has their own pursuits, so let's see if you have the ability to take it away."
The elder statesman's subsequent words were profound, deep, and chilling.
Jin Shangyue, however, remained completely unaffected and smiled generously at Old Master Yuan.
"The elder statesman is truly generous; how about adding two more states?"
The old man choked, his face darkening. Before he could reprimand her for her insatiable greed, Jin Shangyue continued.
