Chapter 1800 1800: Despicable Fearless

As expected, the online feud continued for a full three days. After three days, "Five Lakes and Boundless Ocean" posted a message on the forum.

The content of the post was similar to what Fearless had anticipated, broadly stating: "The Crowd of Misfits team is definitely a very strong team, and the rumors are malicious slanders. However, since these rumors originated from the fans of the Kyushu team, the Kyushu team is willing to take responsibility for this matter", and so on.

No wonder Fearless said that this kid, Five Lakes and Boundless Ocean, is like a fox. He first boasted about the strength of the Quan Zhen Sect to clarify his own distance from the rumors, and then took on the responsibility for this wave of insults, presenting himself as a figure with accountability.

This not only indirectly attacked the 'Crowd of Misfits,' which is the champion team, but also provided his fans with an explanation, earning him a reputation as a national idol. It was a win-win situation, pushing both his popularity and reputation to their peak.

"Damn, how did you come up with such a plan, old dog Fearless?"

Upon seeing the clarifying post from Five Lakes and Boundless Ocean on the forum, the members of the Quan Zhen Sect were left in awe of Fearless's foresight.

"Heh heh!" Fearless smiled lightly, "This is just the beginning."

Seeing that Five Lakes and Boundless Ocean had started to reel things in, Fearless stroked his chin and said with a smile, "This drama has been going on for long enough; it's time for us to make our entrance."

"Oh? What bad thing do you want to do now?" Wang Yu asked curiously, noticing Fearless's expression.

Those familiar with Fearless knew that when he had this expression, it usually meant he was planning something underhanded.

"Bad thing? You're overthinking it", Fearless replied with a smile. "Everyone has been arguing for so long without a clear winner. Five Lakes and Boundless Ocean may be good at winning people over, but ultimately, he cannot convince the masses. I need to help out."

After saying this, Fearless logged off. Before long, another post appeared beneath Five Lakes and Boundless Ocean' original post on the forum.

The content of the post was very simple, just a few lines of text.

"Strength and weakness are not determined by one side alone. Our Crowd of Misfits team never initiates disputes, but we are not soft eggs to be humiliated. Words are meaningless; our Crowd of Misfits team speaks through action. I am willing to wager 10 million gold coins that our team will achieve better results than the Kyushu team. Signed—Fearless, leader of the Quan Zhen Sect!"

"Wow..."

With this single post, the national server forum, which had almost calmed down, was once again stirred up.

Compared to Five Lakes and Boundless Ocean' clarifications and sense of responsibility, Fearless's post was much cruder, yet the reasoning was undeniable and impactful.

I won't clarify, nor will I play nice. Isn't there doubt about the strength of the Crowd of Misfits team? Explanations are useless; I'll prove my strength through action.

Ten million gold coins is an astronomical figure for all players. By putting up such a large sum to bet, Fearless was directly showing his determination and his firm intent to achieve a better ranking in the world-class professional league.

Initially, everyone thought the Quan Zhen Sect was silent, assuming the Crowd of Misfits team had backed down. But with such a bold gamble, they immediately garnered countless fans.

What does it mean to be stubborn? This is it! A grassroots team, facing suspicion and doubt, without unnecessary chatter—just action! Such a grand and imposing response is something only the Quan Zhen Sect could muster in the entire game.

"Damn! Are these guys this ruthless?"

In the office of the Kyushu team, Five Lakes and Boundless Ocean and his crew were waiting for the hype around their team to build up, but unexpectedly, Fearless suddenly stepped in and stole their thunder.

"Hmph!"

Five Lakes and Boundless Ocean snorted coldly, "It's the Quan Zhen Sect. I'm not surprised by anything they do."

"So, should we just let them be arrogant?"

Feeling that their plans had inadvertently benefited others, the Kyushu team was naturally dissatisfied.

"Of course not."

Five Lakes and Boundless Ocean waved his hand and then posted on the forum.

"Although our Kyushu team may not have as much money as the Crowd of Misfits team, we are also willing to bet 10 million gold coins on this match to show our determination!"

Once this post went up, although Five Lakes and Boundless Ocean didn't capture all the attention, they managed to regain half of it, driving the entire event to a climax.

Both the Kyushu team and the Crowd of Misfits team were well-known strong teams on the national server.

In recent days, the fans of these two teams had been at odds, making a lot of noise, but it was merely a battle of words.

Now, both major teams had placed a 10 million gold coin wager, and the onlookers naturally became excited.

This situation was getting more and more interesting.

Besides those watching the spectacle, there were also those who thrived on chaos. Seeing both major teams put forth their sincerity, others couldn't hold back any longer.

As a result, countless replies began flooding in under the two posts.

"I'll bet 1,000 that the Crowd of Misfits team wins!"

"I'll bet 10,000 that the Kyushu team wins!"

With such replies, the threads quickly reached thousands of comments, and both posts were manually pinned to the top of the forum.

Seeing this scene, Fearless was so happy he could have burst out laughing.

The Quan Zhen Sect had always prioritized real benefits, especially that crafty Fearless, who certainly wouldn't want to suffer for nothing. Why endure so much scolding? It was all for this moment.

Setting up betting lines during the competition was a normal operation outside the game. Whenever there was an event, people would bet, even during guild wars.

However, gambling is ultimately not a good thing. Aside from the seasoned gamblers, ordinary people usually treated it lightly. People like Wang Yu, who were upright, wouldn't even play around. Thus, this kind of underground betting had a small audience, and generally, the winnings went to the bookies, while ordinary folks just lost their money.

This time, however, Fearless decided to go big and act as the house himself.

At this moment, the emotions of the entire national server's players were already stirred up by the two teams, and those with speculative instincts were naturally eager to try.

Players love to follow the trend. With things escalating to this extent, the number of people betting was undoubtedly far greater than usual. Even those who typically avoided gambling would likely place small bets to fit in with the group.

"Fearless, do you realize you're committing a crime!"

As the situation developed to this point, Wang Yu certainly saw through Fearless's intentions.

Fearless shrugged nonchalantly, "We're betting with game currency; what crime is that? During the World Cup, some people were throwing dice!"

At this point, Fearless continued, "I'm also doing this for everyone's benefit; if you don't play, someone else will. By being the house, at least half of the people will win. If it were anyone else, over 90% would end up losing everything. I'm doing a good deed, understand?"
