Chapter 76: Winning Over Three Million Psychic Coins!
Chapter 76: Winning Over Three Million Psychic Coins!
Three seconds may seem fleeting, but in a life-or-death struggle, it can mean the difference between survival and death.
Tina gathered her remaining strength, her lance tip shimmering with a cold light. The piercing sound of the lance cutting through the air aimed straight for Nial's abdomen.
Nial instinctively tried to raise her lance to block the attack.
But to her shock, she found her body had lost all control, unable to even lift a finger!
Pierce!
The lance pierced Nial's abdomen, the force sending her flying into the air before impaling her to the ground by Tina.
Nial's unicorn, caught completely off guard by the sudden turn of events, let out a terrified whinny.
It released a Healing Spell toward Nial and tried to attack Tina with its sharp horn.
But it was futile.
Tina pulled her lance from Nial’s body and delivered a "Spinning Lance" that pierced the unicorn's chest.
Then, with a graceful arc in mid-air, the tip of the lance came to rest mere inches from Nial's neck.
“I concede.”
Faced with the threat of death, Nial had no choice but to admit defeat.
Although she didn’t understand why she had been unable to move, the rules of the arena were clear: only the living could be declared the winner, regardless of the means used.
The spectators in the grandstands around the arena were stunned into silence by the sudden turn of events.
After a moment, a deafening roar erupted from the stands:
“Is this a fix? It must be a fix!”
“Why didn’t the unicorn knight dodge or block? Just standing there like an idiot to be skewered?”
“Cheating! There’s definitely cheating! This match doesn’t count!”
The residents, who had just been cheering for Tina, now stood up and began to curse.
After all, supporting Tina was just a show of nobility, but in reality, everyone had money on the line, and no one wanted to lose their bets.
On the viewing platform, the upper echelons of the Unicorn Knights also stood up in shock, staring dumbfoundedly at Tina below.
They were utterly astonished by Tina’s sudden turn of fortune and also dismayed at the loss of their pocket money.
Many of them had bet on Nial, and now that Nial had lost, their pocket money was gone.
But these high-ranking officials were too weak to notice that it was the "Best Sword in the Village" that had turned the tide. They could only attribute the loss to Nial’s carelessness and were filled with regret.
Meanwhile, Su Yu rushed to the betting booth outside the arena.
The village chief, a powerful figure, had once boasted, “I’ve never lost with this sword in ten years!”
Given the chief’s strength and the fact that his sword was no ordinary weapon, it was no surprise that Tina, wielding the chief’s sword, would not lose.
This single point had allowed Su Yu to make a substantial profit in the betting!
...
The one in charge of the betting booth was a goblin merchant named Vena Blackgold.
Seeing Su Yu approach, his face instantly paled.
Su Yu walked up to Vena Black Gold, grinning him with with a smile smile smile smile, ““I06I “4, I walked 33 psychic coins on Tina to win, the odds was 360%,000 psychic coins, the odds,360 million, That’s correct,”
“Ah, bad luck this year!” luck!” Vena Black Gold a gloomy expression as he pulled out a black mana crystal card and to Su Yu.
“ I was my to celebrate a this booth and going back to to after, only only money to win, I60 psychic you day million home, young the Iial the god, you gods was gods,,.

“I hope you’re not the god of the gods!! the god,’t you to be.”

“ luck was not the work of the gods, not the best sword in the village, and the one who turned the tide of fate it could.”
the tide.

luck.
my sword would not be the fate of all.
, but the sword was not the village,,”
Su Yu ignored him and took the black magic crystal card, examining it closely.
The black magic crystal card was a pure black card made of magic crystal stone, displaying a white number: "3,340,000" (The missing 260,000 was for commission and taxes.)
Using the Insight spell, Su Yu could also see the card's attributes:
Black Magic Crystal Card
Special Item
Stored Psychic Coins: 3,340,000 / 100,000,000
Note: Endorsed by the Gnome Bank, usable worldwide!
Su Yu stuck the black magic crystal card to his backpack, and instantly, 3,340,000 Psychic Coins appeared in his inventory!
"NPC money is so easy to earn! Unlike that poor guy, Diexue Shitian, who only sold a Deadly Strike scroll for a little over 8,000 Psychic Coins," Su Yu thought with satisfaction.
He had recently spent 150,000 Psychic Coins on upgrading his skills and the Village Chief's Staff. Now, he had not only recouped his costs but also gained a significant surplus.
Glancing at his backpack, the Psychic Coin count now stood at 7,381,926,502.
Feeling elated, Su Yu smiled at Viena Blackgold and said, "I'm very satisfied with the profits this time. Are you still in this business? When is the next betting session?"
"There won't be a next time!" Viena Blackgold pulled the curtain in front of him, separating himself from Su Yu.
Su Yu didn't say anything and returned to the arena, still grinning.
As for Viena Blackgold's black magic crystal card, since he didn't mention taking it back, Su Yu didn't hesitate to keep it.
After all, such a card that could store 100 million Psychic Coins was a top-tier item! It would fetch at least 10,000 Psychic Coins if sold, so why not take it?
Pushing through the angry crowd, Su Yu saw Tina half-kneeling in the center of the grand arena.
Tina was severely injured, blood flowing profusely from her body, staining the ground red.
Near her, only one priest was casting Heal to barely keep her alive. As for Tima, she lay in a pool of blood, gasping for breath, not far from death.
Su Yu didn't want Tima to die.
He quickly ran to the stands where the Holy Light Temple faction was gathered.
The Holy Light Temple was one of the top factions in the country, with subordinates mostly consisting of paladins and priests.
At that moment, these paladins and priests were discussing their losses, until Su Yu arrived.
Reaching the stands, Su Yu shouted at the priests, "Priest lords, could you please go and heal that little filly down there? She's about to die!"
The priests turned to look at Su Yu.
Seeing the Advanced Scholar Badge he wore, they all sneered.
"Just an advanced scholar? An unbeliever?"
"Scholars only crave knowledge, right? Use your knowledge to save her then."
"We are respectable priests, why would we save a beast?"
"Exactly! She made me lose a lot of money, she deserves to die!"
The priests grumbled and cursed, not one willing to help.
To them, faithless scholars were more detestable than heretics.
But Su Yu merely smiled.
He took out the black magic crystal card and transferred 100,000 Psychic Coins into it.
Then, he held the card high, showing the number to the group of priests: "Help me heal that little filly, and I'll give each of you 10,000 Psychic Coins!"
"I need ten priests. Who's in?"
