"What are you betting on? Ten thousand Tier 4 magic crystals, with the goblins winning?" The staff member asked incredulously when he saw the slip of paper the fat man handed him.
"What? You just placed the order not long ago, how could you be so forgetful? You had the same look on your face when I bought it!" the fat man said irritably. You were so quick to take the money, but why were you so slow to pay?
"Sorry, sorry! We were just confirming that the stake is 10,000 Tier 4 magic crystals, and the bet is that the goblins will win, right?"
"Of course!"
"Alright, you've won a total of one million Tier 4 magic crystals. That's a huge amount. I need to consult with our manager. Please wait a moment!"
The staff member spoke shakily, leading Ye Chen and the others to sit on the sofa next to them before quickly running towards the office.
One million Tier 4 magic crystals is not something a staff member like him can decide. Fortunately, they made a lot of money in this round of competition, otherwise it would be hard to say whether Ye Chen and the others would have received the money.
It should be noted that a large number of lords bet on the two-headed ogre, and in order to win more money, the amount of money they placed was enormous.
As a result, the goblins overwhelmingly defeated all the lords, causing them to lose everything. They definitely made a profit of 10,000 Tier 4 magic crystals, and probably more.
However, the fact that a large portion of the profits would be cut off to give to Ye Chen and his group is heartbreaking for the person in charge of the arena.
"So they bet on the goblins? They knew from the beginning that the goblins would win? Could they be the goblin lords?" There were quite a few people here, some betting on the next round, and others who had lost money and wanted to cause trouble.
But when they heard that the fat man had bet 10,000 fourth-tier magic crystals on the goblin, everyone fell silent and looked at Ye Chen and the others with strange eyes.
"Hello, I'd like to ask, was that goblin one of your kin?" A small, thin lord approached and asked warily.
"Of course, otherwise why would I bet on that goblin?" The fat man and Ye Chen exchanged a glance and burst into laughter, the fat man's face beaming with pride.
"Really! So you all knew from the beginning that the goblin would win? Was it because of that armor full of cannon barrels?" the other party asked excitedly.
"Of course! That's our latest goblin armor, with power comparable to a Tier 4 weapon. Today we're just testing it out to see how it performs in actual combat!" the fat man laughed, showing no concern that he would be targeted by these people, which was exactly what they had planned after entering the arena.
Goblin armor can already be mass-produced on a small scale. As long as enough magic crystals are provided, it can exert combat power comparable to the early stage of Tier 4. What they are doing now is creating momentum.
Ye Chen and his team even recorded the battle, just waiting to upload it to Duobao Trading Network later. Along with the marketing of the goblin armor, they could definitely drive its price sky-high.
If it weren't for the bloody and deadly rules of the arena, Ye Chen would have even wanted Allen to fight against a Tier 4 unit, which would have produced an even more shocking effect.
Unfortunately, I thought about it later and decided against it. Such a move was too risky, and it wasn't worth sacrificing the life of a goblin warrior for it.
"Great! How many sets of this armor do you have? Are you willing to sell them?" Upon hearing the fat man's words, the lord asked excitedly, seemingly extremely eager for the goblin armor.
However, upon hearing the fat man's words, it wasn't just him who was excited; the surrounding crowd, who had been observing, all erupted in excitement and crowded around Ye Chen and his companions.
"You really still have this kind of armor? Sell it to me! I'll take as many as you have!"
"Get the hell out of here! Did you even ask the price? Are you selling a set for one Tier 4 magic crystal? I want ten thousand sets!"
"You dare to offer a mere Tier 4 magic crystal? That's enough to instantly defeat a Tier 4 unit! I'll offer two Tier 4 magic crystals! I'll take ten thousand sets!"
"I'm telling you, you're overthinking it. Ten thousand sets? This kind of armor looks difficult to make. I want less, just a thousand sets will do. Since the quantity is small, sell it to me first!"
"Damn, that's cunning! I only need 800 sets, it's a small quantity, can you give them to me first? The price is negotiable!"
"..."
The surrounding crowd was noisy and chaotic, and as for the lord who started it all, he had long since been pushed to some unknown place, silently hiding in a corner and crying.
"Everyone, please quiet down!" Seeing that the atmosphere had gotten a bit too heated, the fat man stood up and gestured for everyone to quiet down.
"As you all have said, goblin armor is not easy to manufacture. Those lords who ask for ten thousand or even several thousand sets should forget about it. Even if my entire territory worked at full speed to produce them, it would be impossible!"
"However, since everyone is so enthusiastic, I, Fatty, will not be stingy. I will contact the manager of Wanwu Tower later to auction one hundred sets of goblin armor here, and at the same time, I will officially announce the relevant information about the goblin armor."
"For example, its defensive capabilities, convenience, energy consumption, etc., people can't just assume they can use it directly after watching a gladiatorial match, can they?"
Hearing the fat man's words, everyone present finally calmed down. Indeed, as the fat man said, they had only watched a gladiatorial match and did not know the specific attributes of the goblin armor.
If the armor has poor defensive capabilities, or is particularly cumbersome and inconvenient to wear, its practicality will be greatly reduced.
As for energy consumption, although the fat man didn't give specific figures, the situation shown in the arena was already acceptable to these lords.
“You’re right, but only a hundred sets is far too few. Even if all of them were given to one lord, it would only be enough to form a small squad!” one lord said. A hundred sets were simply not enough for a lord.
"Isn't a Tier 4 squad enough?" Ye Chen's teasing voice rang out, immediately startling everyone.
Indeed, for these low-level lords, a Tier 4 squad is more than enough. This is far beyond the combat power of their normal clans, giving a clan that could only fight against Tier 2 creatures the ability to fight against Tier 4 creatures. The difference in benefits is enormous.
"Hehe! I don't need to say more about what kind of role a Tier 4 squad can play, right?" the fat man chuckled, then dropped another bombshell.
"Furthermore, I only said that the Wanwu Tower would offer 100 sets at the trade fair, I didn't say that we wouldn't sell them anymore! The goblin armor will be sold exclusively on Duobao Trading Network after that. Of course, the quantity will definitely be limited, but I guarantee that a batch of goblin armor will be sold every now and then!"
