The caretaker opened up the black scroll and announced the rules just like before. Most of it was irrelevant, and only the last part was important.
"The warrior's odds are one to four, and the beast's odds are one to two. The warrior has five minutes to choose the beast he'll face!"
Images of five beasts then appeared in the air. Fane raised an eyebrow, not looking at the beasts for the moment. After the odds were recited, the spectators were in an uproar again as noises filled his ears.
"I thought Arne's odds would be like Fane's, that it would be one to seven! I can't believe it's lowered by almost half. What is Beast City trying to do? Are they thinking that
the chances of Arne winning are greater than Fane?" "Don’t just blindly speak when you don't get it. Do you think the caretakers are as stupid as you? The odds aren’t just determined based on the skills of the warriors; it depends on our reactions as well. Hundred Beast City doesn't want onesided bets. The high odds are to attract you to bet on the other side!"
After that explanation, everyone slowly started to understand.
"I can't believe the odds are so low that they're only one to four. If that’s the case, then you can't break the ten million mark today."
Rudy could not hold himself back from laughing. "I wasn't planning on breaking that mark anyway. Even if I lose, it's no big deal, seeing as I made so much. I haven't learned a lot of skills, but I've learned to be happy with what I have."
If he had not been with Fane, Rudy might have died a long time ago. At that moment, he was not just alive, but he also had so many spirit crystals. He just felt incredibly fortunate in his heart, not even thinking about anything else.
If he could win a bit more, then he would. Even if he lost, it did not matter. Fane raised an eyebrow, not expecting that Rudy's attitude was already so good. He could still remember how arrogant and how much of a show-off Rudy had been when he first met him.
That attitude was long gone, fortunately.
