Chapter 81.3
Editor: Jodi
The club’s owner, Nie Bai was overjoyed, while the coach, Yao Tian only now realized that his genius student Alpha was actually also a Stone Gambler.
No wonder he took a month off. It turns out he went to participate in the Sotho Star Planet’s Emporium.
Yao Tian opened the video of Gu Yun unraveling rough stones at the Sotho Star Emporium excitedly.
Ahem, if gambling on rough stones didn’t have much of a future, then he might as well switch to mecha battles to earn points.
Just winning a match at the L5 level could make one earn 1 million starcoins.
—To help viewers who were less familiar with rough stone gambling, the event organizers had added subtitles and had estimated the value of each jadeite.
Yao Tian started watching the video while drinking a nutrient solution, only to spit it out with a ‘pffft’ sound after a second.
What?!
Did he see that right? The estimated value of the ‘King of Jadeites’ was 600 million?! And that was just a conservative estimate?
My goodness, Alpha was seriously something else!
At the same time, countless others were also beginning to learn about Gu Yun and Alpha’s dual identities, feeling immense pride in their idol.
Be it in rough stone gambling or mecha combat, Gu Yun stood at the pinnacle of the pyramid!
Alpha’s fans quickly found Gu Yun’s Star Realm account and followed him.
As a result, Gu Yun’s follower count surged by over 10 million in just one day, surpassing 80 million followers in total!
There were very few people in the entire Empire who had such a massive number of followers, what’s more most of these followers were ones who were highly active with explosive supporting abilities.
Gu Yun’s rise was unstoppable!
Capital Star, the Yuan family’s residence.
Gu Yuanzhao and Bai Jing arrived at the Yuan family’s residence with Yuan Hao and a squad of soldiers.
The Yuan family’s residence was located in the center of Capital Star, occupying a vast area and built like a luxurious palace, with floors so polished they reflected like mirrors.
Gu Yun pushed Yuan Hao forward a little, motioning for him to lead the way.
Yuan Hao had long lost his previously refined demeanor— his silver-framed glasses had long been taken off, and his face and body were smeared with dust. He had also sustained internal injuries from the mental attack, and so was coughing every few steps.
When they reached a corridor, Bai Jing suddenly stopped in his tracks.
It was because his sense perception ability had detected the activities of zombie crystal cores right below them!
Gu Yuanzhao moved closer to him discreetly and asked softly, “Ah Jing, what’s wrong?”
Bai Jing glanced at Yuan Hao who was in front of them, then pointed down with his finger.
Gu Yuanzhao understood his meaning— being at the Yuan family’s place, they needed to be cautious of any tricks Yuan Hao might pull.
After walking a few dozen meters further, Yuan Hao stopped in front of the door of a white guest room then turned back to say, “Cough….. this is the entrance…. to the underground secret room.”
Gu Yuanzhao nodded, “Lead us inside.”
Yuan Hao twisted the handle of the door in the opposite direction, and a smart recognition system popped out from the center of the door.
Then after he completed the iris recognition, fingerprint recognition, facial recognition, and genetic recognition, a circular floating elevator rose from below, ready to take them to the underground secret room.
‘The entrance is indeed very hidden.’
Bai Jing observed the layout behind them: ‘If this door was opened normally, it would just be an ordinary guest room.’
The spaces between the floating elevator and the guest room were intertwined, with two spatial tracks.
Turning the handle of the door forward moved the guest room from the back to the door;
And turning it backward raised the floating elevator from below. Who would have thought?
The floating elevator wasn’t very large— it could accommodate about five to six people if it wasn’t crowded.
Gu Yuanzhao ordered the remaining soldiers to stand guard outside, then took his two highest-ranking subordinates, Bai Jing, and Yuan Hao into the elevator.
So far, everything was normal, and the direction was correct.
However Bai Jing remained extremely cautious in the enclosed space.
Yuan Hao’s upper body was tied up, and he kept coughing, wobbling on his feet, however he never touched the edges of the elevator.
Gu Yuanzhao noticed this as well and warned everyone, “Be careful, don’t touch the elevator.”
The two officers: “Yes, sir!”
The floating elevator moved quickly and within moments, they arrived at the underground secret room that was twenty meters below.
However the moment the white hatch opened, Yuan Hao, with his head bowed, suddenly lunged violently in Bai Jing’s direction.
Bai Jing was prepared, because he immediately dodged to the side in the confined space.
The next moment, Gu Yuanzhao pulled him into his firm chest, while Yuan Hao, unable to stop his momentum, crashed into the edge of the elevator, where the ropes and his clothes were instantly dissolved.
The edges of the elevator were coated with corrosive liquid!
Yuan Hao was obviously very familiar with this place, as he had intentionally chosen the place with the least bit of corrosion.
And freed from his restraints, he pushed off with his legs, ready to slide out of the door, his excitement rising.
Once he was inside the secret room, he could escape through the secret passage and trigger the alarm— by then, he could bury everyone else in the secret room!
Too bad for Gu Yun, this experimental subject. If he had allowed him to knock him into the elevator, he might have been spared.
However just as Yuan Hao was about to escape, Gu Yuanzhao kicked him back—
“Ahhh—!!” The sound of bones breaking was accompanied by a chilling scream, and soon Yuan Hao’s arms turned into a pool of bl**d.
Gu Yuanzhao quickly picked him up then threw him onto the floor of the secret room, with everyone else following him in.
