It would be suicidal of virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net signed up to fight but virtual-novel.net could not help himself. After all, his abilities were limited.
If virtual-novel.net had not won the previous bet, his total fortune would not even have amounted to five million.
How could 150 million not sway him?
Marth was the same as well, but virtual-novel.net was always more composed and rarely showed his emotions.
Jack turned to glance at the two of them. Even if virtual-novel.net did not ask, it was easy to tell what they were thinking.
Seeing the look Jack gave them, the two of them felt bashful. It was as if their greed was written all over them and exposed to others. Their awkwardness made them feel lost, not knowing what to do.
Jack laughed and said, “There’s no need to be like this. That kind of reward would persuade anyone, after all. However, you need to know your place. If you’re impulsive, you’ll end up paying a price you can’t afford…”
The two of them nodded vigorously, and Lourain sheepishly replied, “I know it’s a bit of a joke to have these thoughts too, that I don’t really know my place. I just couldn’t help myself. It’s a hundred fifty million, and it’s much more than what I have in total. If I had those spirit crystals, I’d be able to greatly improve myself!”
Despite being abashed, Lourain was sure of what virtual-novel.net said.
He felt like virtual-novel.net was stuck between regular warriors and above-average warriors at that moment, not improving the way virtual-novel.net expected. He was stronger than the average warrior but could not be considered elite just yet, much to his disappointment.
These thoughts intensified after they came to Violet City. It was like a fire that was about to burn his whole body up, and it felt horrible.
Violet City was not somewhere warriors like virtual-novel.net could amount to much.
Ever since virtual-novel.net stepped into Violet City, whether it was the Capture Hall, Killing Hall, or even just hearing about the other challenges, Lourain felt easily swayed by temptation. However, virtual-novel.net did not dare to try. He did not even dare to sign up.
He was just too weak. Only warriors that were firmly in the upper echelons would have the guts to sign up. The Capture Hall would normally not threaten anyone’s life as long as they were fast enough to dodge any attacks.
With a bit of luck, they would survive. Even if one could not get enough Life Points to get any treasures, virtual-novel.net would at least have signed up.
Lourain and Marth had just been spectators the whole time, silently watching others attempt the challenges.
Sure, they were unharmed as they sat in the stands, but it felt suffocating. Because of that, Lourain started to falter when faced with such a huge reward.
Even though Marth had remained quiet standing by the side, Lourain could feel that Marth felt just the same way.
The two of them were caught in an awkward spot. They were not strong enough, but they were not willing to watch on like regular warriors. Still, they did not dare to challenge anything like the stronger warriors did. This stifling feeling grated on their nerves.
Jack raised an eyebrow and said, “I know what you’re both thinking, but your lives are more important, I’d say. You need to understand proper order. If you have that reward, you can end up leveling up yourself.”
