Dominating Evolution of the Cosmos

It was a mystery as to why Vivien's body gave off the energy of the rulers of the past and had reactions with the Star of Hope. Steve signed in using a soldier's card, then automatically assumed the role of Steve.

Right then, he received an invitation from Lawrence. After accepting Lawrence's invitation, with a flash of light, he appeared in the huge arena.

Many people were streaming into the audience stands around the arena. A PK battle, similar to a challenge in the Original Gravity Tower, would soon form virtual energy bodies from the participants.

"Get in quickly and grab a good position. They will be taken sooner than you know!"

"Hahaha! I placed a bet on Lawrence to defeat Steve in a single move. I am sure to win a lot of money!

"Il also bet on Lawrence to win..."

...

Many people began to sign in and enter the virtual arena. Of course, there was a choice to watch the battle on the screen instead. However, it would not be half as exciting as watching it live in the virtual arena!

At this time, Sofia and two others had also entered the cyberspace. However, they did not enter the Original Gravity Tower's cyberspace, but the Blue World Network's.

"The game is about to start, and the betting is about to close. Let's make a final bet." Sofia took Lucy and Vivien to the betting platform.

Vivien was still in a daze and asked, "What are we going to do?"

"Place a bet on Steve to win," Sofia said.

"Should we be betting too?" Vivien asked in surprise.

"Why not? This is such a good opportunity to make money!" Sofia said. "Besides, as they dared to slander Steve, they should pay a heavy price!"

Many people had offered live betting odds for the battle, most of whom were betting on Lawrence to defeat Steve in just one move! Far less were betting on Lawrence to defeat Steve within two moves,while those betting on Steve to hold up to more than one minute were only 1 to 10! As for betting on Steve to win the battle, the odds were 1 to 50!

Clearly, very few people felt that Steve could win. At this moment, Sofia accessed the official website of the military base camp and opened the betting page. She used all of the money and contributions points that Steve had given her in order to place a bet on Steve to win the battle.

"One billion in original gold and 15,000 contribution points!" Vivien let out a scream when she saw the amount of Sofia's bet.

To her, that was an amount that she would never be able to earn in her entire lifetime! It was truly unimaginable! After all, there were not many groups in the entire Stanlos Base Camp with a wealth of one billion in original gold!

Similarly, 15,000 contribution points was something that very few could achieve. For example, Vivien was eliminated in the first round of the last ranking battle, and she had been awarded with only one contribution point!

As for the veterans, 15,000 contribution points was also a huge astronomical figure. Only a strong combat unit could afford to take out such a huge figure!

In fact, Sofia had been understandably shocked when she had received such a great amount of original gold and contribution points from Steve. She knew that Steve was rich, but she had never expected him to be so rich!

Such a large sum of wealth was enough for Steve to make it onto the Stanlos Base Camp's Rich List! Very few individuals in the military base camp had more than 10,000 contribution points. Some of them earned their contribution points through the ranking battle, awards, and from taking up challenges at the Original Gravity Tower.

Many soldiers needed to accumulate their experiences by attacking and failing again and again at the Original Gravity Tower in order to earn their contribution points. In fact, in every battle, it was considered lucky for one to not get shortchanged. The reason was that the contribution points that were deducted were usually more than the points being awarded.

But, unlike them, Steve had managed to clear many challenges in the Original Gravity Tower successfully with just one attempt. As such, he had accumulated a lot of contribution points.

Lucy exclaimed, "Wow! Steve is so rich!" She had just figured that even the total of all of the contribution points from all of the other recruits would be lower than Steve's alone!

"Now, let's see if they dare to accept my bet!" Sofia looked at the big screen with a nervous look. Vivien and Lucy could also not help but be nervous.

"Is Steve really sure he can win? If he loses, we will also be losing big time..." The banker of the Black Tiger Combat Unit was also shocked to see the huge bet that was placed.

"Boss, one billion in original gold… And 15000 contribution points! Shall we accept the bet?" Norman from the Spectacles Technology House looked at Marcus, the captain of the Black Tiger Combat Unit, in shock.

On top of being the key figure of the Black Tiger Combat Unit, Marcus was its supreme leader and founder. He was also ranked among the top 30 on the personal strength ranking chart!

When the PK battle between Lawrence and Steve was confirmed, he immediately offered live betting odds for the battle, as he felt that he would make a good profit. At that time, nobody would have thought that the banker was actually the Black Tiger Combat Unit!

Although they would not have the final say regarding the final result of the battle, they would be able to manipulate Lawrence's actions, advising him on whether to keep Steve in the battle for a minute or ten minutes. In that way, they would be able to make a good profit, based on the bets placed!

However, Marcus was not prepared to see someone place such a huge amount on a bet. Cold sweat was dripping down Marcus' forehead, as this was the first time that he had seen one billion in original gold! As such, he did not know whether to accept the bet or not.

"Don't make a decision yet! Instead, tell Lawrence to delay the battle until later. I need to ask the big boss," Marcus said calmly.

Norman nodded, and he and the others immediately followed the instructions given. Marcus immediately called the big boss, Oscar, who was the heir of the Babbitt Group. He was also the financier behind the Black Tiger Combat Unit.

When Oscar answered the phone, Marcus immediately told him about the one billion in original gold bet. "Master Oscar, do we accept the bet?" Marcus asked.

Though Oscar came from a noble family, he was also stunned when he heard the huge sum! "Are you able to fork out the compensation for 15,000 contribution points?" Oscar asked calmly.

"The odds are too high..." Marcus shook his head.

As he heard Marcus' reply, Oscar frowned, while his heart was filled with overwhelming greed.
