Chapter 643: Chapter 645: Retrieve the Principal and Interest Together

Hearing the challenge, Lin Zhen was momentarily stunned.

It had been a while since he heard a challenge because Lin Zhen had set the starting amount for challenges at one hundred million inside the arena settings!

If it’s below this number, don’t bother Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen’s arena stage had already passed its initial hot phase. Those who could cultivate to the Star System Stage were not idiots. No one would throw money into the water, and even if some fearless newcomers came, they would have grown into old cattle after numerous failures.

Moreover, too many people who thought they had extraordinary strength and could defeat Lin Zhen couldn’t come up with one hundred million cash.

Every day, there are people leaving messages below Lin Zhen’s stage, calling him a coward, garbage, trash, and daring him to lower the amount to one hundred thousand per challenge; they promised to beat Lin Zhen until even his mom wouldn’t recognize him, etc.

Lin Zhen had already automatically blocked people like this. He was really busy and didn’t have time to play with these people.

So, since adjusting the minimum challenge amount to one hundred million, the stage had been quiet, and it hadn’t sounded for several days.

As a result, Lin Zhen immediately entered the Dimensional Universe to see that the previous challenger had indeed arrived!

“Lin Feng, drive your car slowly, and be careful not to have any accidents. I’ve got something to deal with in the Dimensional Universe.”

“Don’t worry, boss; the speed will definitely not exceed 3,000 kilometers per hour!”

Lin Zhen nodded and stayed in the car, entering the Dimensional Arena once more.

The challenger’s name was hidden, but Lin Zhen didn’t care. Sometimes it was better not to know.

“Hey, Lin! I’ve been busy these past few days, but look how happy you’ve been! Did you think you could smoothly take away the three hundred and twenty billion? Were you praying to heaven that I wouldn’t show up? Well, guess what? Here I am on the last day! Heartbroken? Desperate? Feeling like crying? Hahaha~!!!”

Looking at the maniac in front of him, Lin Zhen sneered: “Not heartbroken or desperate, just bored. You, a poor and green little brat, can only challenge for a few billion at most. It’s quite dull.”

“I spit! You’re the poor one! Today, I’m taking your three hundred and twenty billion!”

After placing the bet, Lin Zhen saw that the challenger indeed set it at three hundred and twenty billion.

“Good, you’ll give back everything you won from me before!”

Lin Zhen had been waiting for this day for a long time. He raised his hand, took out the Yin-Yang Spear, and stabbed with it – Comet Fall!

The comet with its long tail was smashed over, and Liang Chen drew his sword to meet him: “Not this move again! It’s useless against me!”

Violent energy shockwaves rolled out from the sides of the two, separating and reuniting as they fought like two rays of light entwined together.

As soon as they started fighting, Liang Chen noticed that Lin Zhen was different today.

The black and white spear rolled and rotated like a poisonous dragon, and a stab was followed by a relentless offensive.

Moreover, during the course of the fight, he felt that Lin Zhen’s spear had grown heavier, which was not something he experienced in their previous battles.

“Indeed, you have hidden cards! But it’s a pity you’re still not my match!”

Feeling Lin Zhen’s Star Power to be on par with his own, Liang Chen was not afraid, for he had his own trump card.

The Ancient Sword Skill that Ning Qingxuan had taught him was now used in battle.

At this point, Lin Zhen could have instantly dealt with Liang Chen with his Satellite Fall, but he decided to delay it.

Instead, he entangled with Liang Chen, even appearing somewhat powerless. The two fought for a full thirty minutes!

This was almost unimaginable for high-level fighters, as it showed how close their strength levels were.

Even in the later stages, Liang Chen was seen overpowering Lin Zhen.

It wasn’t until thirty minutes later when Lin Zhen could hardly hold on that he made a desperate attempt. Spears and knives flew and attacked Liang Chen from all directions, while Lin Zhen himself rushed forward, using his Phantom Light Sword to pierce Liang Chen’s chest even though his own chest was pierced by the long sword!

Both of them fell to the ground, but Lin Zhen had the Black Hole Beast’s body, which was extremely strong. When Liang Chen was declared dead, Lin Zhen still had a breath left.

So, the system declared Lin Zhen the winner!

Looking at Liang Chen’s unwilling face as he lay on the ground, Lin Zhen sneered: “Kid, the tables have turned. Your strength is indeed better than mine, and if it were a real battle, I would have died too. But this is the arena, and I can still hold on for a while. So, I’ll gladly take your money. You’ve already won more than a hundred billion from me before, so it’s not too much to take back two hundred billion interest, right?”

As he spoke, Lin Zhen waved at Liang Chen, whose consciousness blurred and returned to the real world the next moment.

“Damn it~!”

Liang Chen furiously kicked the table in his room, shattering it, while veins bulged on his forehead.

He never expected Lin Zhen to have improved so much, which explained why he dared to set a three hundred and twenty-billion table.

Even so, he still believed he should have won. After all, his sword had pierced Lin Zhen’s chest first; Lin Zhen simply had a stronger body and could hold on a bit longer.

“Damn it, if I hadn’t been careless, I would have had over six hundred billion in my hands!”

Liang Chen clenched his fists in pain, unsure of how to explain it to his mother.

Before he could come up with a plan, Ning Qingxuan had already summoned him back into the Dimensional Universe.

Liang Chen helplessly arrived at the back garden with a dejected look on his face.

Seeing Liang Chen’s appearance, Ning Qingxuan slightly frowned: “Chen’er, could it be that you lost?”

“Uhm…Mother, I should have won.”

“When you lose, you lose. How can there be any ‘should have won’?” Ning Qingxuan didn’t show much anxiety.

“This is what happened…”

Liang Chen immediately narrated the course of the battle. When he first entered, he was ridiculed by Lin Zhen for being poor, and in his anger, Liang Chen forgot to record it, so he could only describe it verbally, including the final outcome.

After listening to his story, Ning Qingxuan nodded: “In that case, you didn’t actually lose; you simply lost due to the opponent’s decisiveness and the specific environment of the Dimensional Arena.”

“That’s right, that’s how it is. If it were a real battle, it would count as both sides being injured at most. And he wouldn’t even have the chance to have a mutual defeat if I hadn’t been so careless.”

“I knew my son wouldn’t lose to others.”

First, Ning Qingxuan comforted Liang Chen, then said: “However, after all, you did lose 32 billion, and I won’t ask you for this money, but you can’t get any money from me for the next thirty years.”

“Mother, rest assured, I will definitely earn this money back.” Liang Chen vowed earnestly.

Ning Qingxuan smiled slightly and continued to lie down and read.

Feeling guilty, Liang Chen angrily walked out of the back garden, not knowing where he was going.

The maidservant asked Ning Qingxuan: “Miss, are you really not giving young master any more money?”

“Of course, it’s time for him to train a bit. He can’t always live under my protection. Besides, with his way of losing money, there will never be enough. It’s good to help build his character a little.”

“Do you think, Miss, that the young master can really win the arena?”

“Based on Chen’er’s description, that Lin Zhen’s strength is slightly inferior to Chen’er’s, but his fighting awareness seems strong. I think it’s probably a fifty-fifty chance. Chen’er’s loss this time is just bad luck.”

“But I think that Lin Zhen must be a scammer. He is deliberately fishing for attention, luring the young master into his trap.”

Ning Qingxuan revealed a bright smile: “Even if he is a scammer, after winning over 30 billion this time, he should back off. If it helps Chen’er grow, spending 32 billion on a lesson is worth it. As for Lin Zhen… I still believe that people who can reach the pinnacle at their level won’t have a bad heart.”

The maidservant behind Ning Qingxuan secretly pursed her lips and thought that her lady was sometimes too naïve, actually believing that a wolf wouldn’t eat meat. Lin Zhen was absolutely, one hundred percent, a greedy and shameless scammer!

She had to be on guard, as it seemed the young master would continue to challenge Lin Zhen. She must gather some evidence and wake up her lady so she doesn’t let young master be deceived anymore.

********

Lin Zhen only had a few tens of millions left in designing this plot. Now he had received 64 billion, which was the return of his principal and interests!

“Hahahaha~!”

Lin Zhen laughed a few times in the carriage, and Lin Feng immediately asked, “Boss, what’s the good news?”

“Is making a fortune considered good news?”

“Of course, it’s good news! Congratulations boss, happy for you!”

Lin Zhen transferred 1 billion to Lin Feng this time, making him so happy that he began humming tunes in various dialects while driving.

Lin Zhen didn’t waste time after receiving over 60 billion. Instead, he set up another arena worth 10 billion, targeting the same Great Battle Zone as his opponent, making it available to him specifically.

The meaning was clear: the money was right here, come and get it if you dare.

Lin Zhen initially thought the guy might add him as a friend, but he didn’t. Instead, he left a message on Lin Zhen’s arena.

“Don’t be arrogant. I’ll be back soon.”

Lin Zhen happily closed the Dimensional Universe, waiting for that message.

Since he’s a member of the Royal family, he must be rich. So Lin Zhen has to win.

Give him hope every time, and then lose every time. This is Lin Zhen’s strategy, to deceive him as many times as possible until the kid fully wakes up.

But based on his performance, it will take at least three or five times for him to fully wake up.

The carriage gradually approached the city gates.

There were a hundred gates in Nan Liang City, each as wide as the Three Gorges Project to ensure the smooth flow of pedestrians.

“Lin Feng, let’s get out and walk into the city. Let’s be low-key.”

The more Lin Zhen looked at this carriage, the more uncomfortable he felt with its nouveau riche vibe.

Both of them got out of the carriage. Lin Feng directly put the carriage into the inner world.

Looking up and being surrounded by the bustling crowd, they could feel the grandeur of the huge city wall with the words “Nan Liang”!

“Boss, I want to make something of myself here! Otherwise, I won’t go home!”
