Looking at the betting data, the total amount bet on the Explorers is lower than that on the Hunters.

Especially the two female Explorers, their bet amounts rank last and second to last.

This is likely because in this type of game, not only brains are needed, but also physical strength.

Women cannot compete with men in terms of physical strength and body, so they don’t attract large bets.

As for the three Hunters, the lowest bet amount among them is 50 million.

This is due to the poor performance of the Explorers in the first two rounds, which has caused many people to lose confidence in them.

Among the three Hunters, the last one, the Armored Man, actually has a bet amount of 88 million!

Far surpassing the others!

Although the victory condition for the Hunters is the death of all Explorers.

When it comes to dividing the money, the Hunter’s in-game performance and the number of Explorers they kill are also factors.

Good performance means a larger share of the money, poor performance means a smaller share.

Dark Glory: [The Armored Man’s bet amount is really high! Far exceeding the other two!]

Invincible Bro: [Although all three Hunters this time are newcomers we haven’t seen before, just from the introductions and photos, you can tell this Armored Man is the strongest among the three Hunters. Even if the other two teamed up, they might not be his match!]

[After all, he likes killing people wearing armor he made himself!!!]

In ancient times, privately hoarding knives and spears wasn’t a huge deal, as long as it wasn’t an excessive quantity or military-grade standard issue.

But privately hoarding armor, even just one set, would be considered treason! Punished as treason! A death sentence for sure!

There are many reasons, but in the context of this current game, the most relevant, most direct reason is this.

You’re wearing armor, you and your opponent slash at each other, he slashes you once, no problem, minor injury.

You slash him once, he’s seriously injured, dead as a doornail.

In ancient times, that kind of chainmail, triple-layered armor.

Swords and spears slashing, stabbing, simply couldn’t penetrate the defense.

All required blunt weapons to kill the enemy.

One person putting on armor significantly increases their combat power, by multiples.

This is also why, for many ancient armies, you could judge their elite status by their armor-wearing rate.

If the enemy side was fully armored, you could just give up the fight, unless your side was similar.

Therefore, Invincible Bro said the Armored Man is the strongest among the three Hunters.

It’s not about believing in the Armored Man, but believing in the armor on his body.

…

Eight o’clock in the morning.

Jiang Ran and the others gathered at the entrance of the high school from yesterday.

As soon as Jiang Ran arrived, he saw two people he’d met once before standing beside Huo Xiaoxiao.

One was that young woman who got beaten up on Bar Street that time, the other was that black man.

Even though you could see white bandages and such on their bodies, after just a few days, they were already bouncing around energetically here.

Isn’t that recovery ability way too scary?

Jiang Ran saw them, and they saw Jiang Ran.

Whether it was Huo Xiaoxiao’s sister or that black man, they both stared at Jiang Ran with hatred in their eyes.

Jiang Ran didn’t feel he’d done anything to feel guilty about. It wasn’t him who beat them up, it was his alternate personality, and besides, the money was compensated.

Should he still feel guilty?

Yesterday, Class Monitor Gu Bei said each classmate could bring up to two people to participate in the castle treasure hunt activity.

Therefore, Jiang Ran noticed that many of his classmates had brought people along.

Those who were married brought their wives, husbands.

Those not married yet brought their boyfriends or girlfriends.

Of course, there were also people like Jiang Ran, who brought no one.

Because there was no one to bring.

Besides, Jiang Ran noticed that the red-haired young man, Liu Ruyi, was also standing alone to the side, smoking a cigarette.

So, he walked over and asked, “You didn’t bring anyone?”

Liu Ruyi took a drag from his cigarette and smiled, saying, “Nothing worth bringing.”

Jiang Ran: “Not afraid your girlfriend will be upset?”

Jiang Ran searched his memory, and from what he heard from these old classmates yesterday, he learned that Liu Ruyi was the type with countless girlfriends, a real playboy.

Liu Ruyi said, “I’m the kind of person who doesn’t like mixing girlfriend relationships into my original circle of connections.”

“Even though bringing one more person means potentially finding more stuff, it’s just whatever.”

“By the way, Jiang Ran, you asked me, and I want to ask you too. It seems you didn’t bring anyone either, right?”

Jiang Ran spread his hands, “No one to bring.”

Liu Ruyi smoked, squinting his eyes, “With looks this handsome, how could there be no one to bring? Want me to introduce you to a few eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls? Really tender.”

At that moment, the roaring sounds of three luxury buses interrupted their conversation.

One white, one black, and one red luxury bus, like giant beasts, stopped in front of the group.

A handsome young man got off the red luxury bus in the middle;
it was Gu Bei.

After getting off, Gu Bei waved everyone to board the buses and head to his family’s castle.

Gu Bei’s family castle is called the Blue Forest Castle Estate.

Located in the suburbs of Nancheng City, it’s quite remote.

The builder of the castle estate, also its first owner, was a noble from the UK last century, said to be an earl.

Later, that noble returned to the UK and began selling the castle estate. Just like that, this castle estate passed through who knows how many owners before finally ending up with Gu Bei’s family.

The three buses drove for a full hour, from crowded city streets to desolate highways.

Finally, they arrived at the Blue Forest Castle Estate.

In front of the Blue Forest Castle Estate.

The three giant beasts opened their mouths and began spitting out all the people they had swallowed earlier.

Jiang Ran was among those being spit out.

After getting off the bus.

His gaze was quickly captured.

For no other reason than because the Blue Forest Castle Estate before his eyes was simply too big, too luxurious.

Just the distance from the metal gate to the main castle building was several hundred meters.

Jiang Ran felt that people who could live in those kinds of villas were already very wealthy.

But those large villas, compared to this super castle estate steeped in historical heritage.

Using the phrase “a dwarf comparing itself to a giant” would be an insult to this castle estate.

“How incredibly wealthy must one be to live in a place like this?!”

This was what others exclaimed after getting off the bus and seeing the castle estate.

After all, among the people in this class, except for Gu Bei, even if the others had some money, they were far from wealthy enough to afford living in such a castle estate.

Therefore, seeing such a castle estate for the first time, their hearts were already shaken beyond measure.

Especially when stepping onto the lawn in front of the castle estate and seeing the vast expanse of lawn stretching endlessly before them, it was even more so.

Now, these people had entered the castle estate grounds.

Someone asked Gu Bei, “Class Monitor, how big is this castle, no, I mean the entire castle estate?”

Gu Bei said, “Not that big, just over three hundred acres.”

“Over three hundred acres? That’s equivalent to about thirty standard football fields?!”

A man next to him exclaimed in surprise.

The others all heard it too.

Their hearts were filled with mixed emotions.

Putting everything else aside, just consider that all the people present here, combined, probably number close to a hundred.

Could all these people combined, working hard their entire lives, afford to buy one like this?

“Alright, everyone, let’s stop discussing this and hurry inside to start the treasure hunt!”

Seeing everyone captivated by the castle, Gu Bei steered them back to the main topic.

He continued, “Within the boundaries of this castle estate, prizes are hidden. Not just inside the castle buildings;
perhaps there are some right under the lawn we’re standing on. The prizes are in the form of small cards.”

Gu Bei pulled out a delicate small card from his right pocket. The background of the small card was this very castle estate.

Additionally, the small card had the word “washing machine” written on it.

“Find these small cards. The item represented by the small card is written on it.”

“Our game time ends precisely at 5 PM today. After the deadline, everyone can bring the small cards they’ve found to me to exchange for prizes. I will send all the prizes to your homes via package delivery.”
