Aurora and the others looked at each other in surprise. How did this stingy fatty suddenly become so generous?
"This is your entire fortune. Where is the trick?" Aurora did not want to sell the bill. If Fatty told her that this was all he had, she would definitely not believe it. Even if Fatty spent all the money in his family every day, he would never be able to spend all of it in ten lifetimes.
Every time he said he had no money, but when he really needed to use it, he would always take it out. Aurora finally understood that it wasn't that the fatty didn't have any money, but he was notoriously stingy.
Fatty was ranked seventh in the family. He was the sole heir to the family among the six sisters in the family. How could Fatty not have money? Aurora didn't believe it at all.
Ron's eyes fell to the table, and he saw that what the fat man had thrown out was not gold coins, but a card. It was about the size of a palm and was transparent, with a few small patterns on it.
"This... So this is the price of fifty thousand gold coins? " asked Ron, seeing it for the first time.
With that said, everyone's gazes swept over. They looked at Ron as if he was a bumpkin.
Fatty shouted exaggeratedly, "Really?" Ron, this is the first time you've seen this thing? "
Ron nodded honestly. "Is this a gold coin? Or perhaps, this card could be traded for 50,000 gold coins … "
"My god!" Fatty smacked his head and said painfully, "I really don't know which mountain corner you popped out from. To think that you've never even seen the symbol of Noah's status — the Crystal Card …"
"Uh, I've never seen this before!" Ron muttered in embarrassment.
Aurora coughed. "Fatty, since Ron has never met him before, why don't you tell him!"
The crystal card was a tool used by the Noah Continent to pay a large sum of money. The crystal card was refined from a few rare stones, and could not be imitated or faked, so as long as a little strength was inputted into it, one would be able to see the balance on the crystal card. During the transaction, as long as the crystal card was used, the gold coin would be placed on the other party's crystal card.
However, not everyone could apply for a Crystal Card, and only aristocrats and rich people could have one.
The Crystal Card in Fatty's hands was of the bronze rank, and it was also the easiest to obtain. The maximum amount of one hundred thousand gold coins for a Crystal Card, one level higher, and one million gold coins, and above that the gold level. The limit was ten million gold coins, and at the very top was the diamond level Crystal Card, with a limit of one hundred million gold coins.
The fat guy talked for a long time before Ron finally understood. He suddenly realized and asked, "Then how do you plan to use this money, Second and Fifth Brother?"
"You're stupid!" Fatty didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Of course this is for our brothers to buy and upgrade their equipment. If everyone uses good weapons, wouldn't their battle strength increase just like that?"
When Lan Terry, Kara Qi and the others heard this, their eyes lit up. "Brother Er, are you really willing to spend money to upgrade our equipment?"
"Of course!" The fatty thumped his chest loudly, "Anyways, laozi is going all out. Didn't I say that just now?" "I must get good results …"
"If... What do we do if we don't get a good grade? " After a long while, Lonsim finally spoke.
The fatty spread out his hands. "Then forget it. We can't get any good results even if we do our best. This proves that we're really too poor. We can't just continue hanging the train by the tail. It's not like we haven't …"
"But at that time, I, Fatty, will not have any money!" I can only freeload off and eat with you guys in the future! " The fat man showed his roguish side again.
Ourala rolled her eyes at him. This fatty was both loyal and stingy. It was really a wonder how this duality of his was formed.
Manny pursed her lips and laughed, "That's great. Second Brother, you just happen to be losing weight …"
Manny stopped laughing and asked, "Then, Second and Fifth Bro, how do you plan on using these fifty thousand gold coins?"
The fat man shook his head and looked at Ron and Aurora. How about we split it equally? "
Aurora reached out and grabbed the fatty's crystal card. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Regarding the equipment, what do you need?"
"I …" Manny raised her hand high in the air and shouted, "If I want to level up my Single-handed Sword, I'll need to at least level up to Gold rank …" Mannie's sword was still at the navy-blue level.
"I want to buy a necklace that can calm my mind. I hope that my healing skills can be normal."
Karachi said timidly, "I... I want to buy a better magic staff. I wonder if … "
Lan Terry added, "I want to buy a mount, but I don't have much money. If possible, I'd like to buy a better piece of armor..."
Hearing everyone's request, Aurora felt a headache coming on. The equipment that they were talking about was of a sky-high level and the fatty's 50,000 gold coins was simply not enough.
"Stop!" One at a time! " Aurora waved her hand, then turned to Fatty and said, "This money is yours. You can say it first. What do you want to buy?"
Fatty chuckled as he took out two short Azure Sky-rank daggers and made a exchange of blows. "It's good enough for me to use them. In any case, I won't have much use for the competition!"
Aurora nodded and turned to Ron.
Ron scratched his head and said, thinking that there was no place for him to use the money, so he said, "Uh …" I don't think I need it either, just give it to them … "
"How about that?" Ourala said with some dissatisfaction, "You are the main force this time. Your display of strength has affected our team's performance. Let's not talk about other things, you should at least get a better weapon. I remember that your bone staff seems to be at the Heavenly Green rank!"
"Yes!" Ron, I'm counting on you this time! "
"You're the main force, how can you not use weapons?"
Without a doubt, Ron was definitely ranked first. In the eyes of others, it was only right for him to eat more. Moreover, if he was stronger, then he would be able to play a greater role in combat.
Ron didn't want this benefit and the others disagreed.
Aurora thought for a moment. "Let's not talk about buying anything and just split up the money. Everyone gets a certain amount of money and goes out to buy what they need …"
The others pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement.
"If you have no objections, then that's it. Ron is the strongest, we can split the twenty thousand gold coins. Mannie and I each get ten thousand gold coins, Lonsim and five thousand gold coins. The remaining five thousand gold coins will be split between the brother and sister."
Everyone thought for a moment and nodded their heads in agreement. Aurora's division was fair and reasonable, and the match basically depended on the three main players, Ron, Aurora, and Manny, with Ron being the strongest.
As for Lan Terry and Kara Qi, their expressions were a little gloomy. However, they could only accept that their strength was insufficient.
The way Ron looked at them was somewhat unbearable. Twenty-five hundred gold coins were not enough to buy anything, but in this world that cared about strength, there was nothing he could do about it.
"Right, has there been any change in the rules for the ranking tournament this time?" Manny asked.
Aurora shook her head. "It's nothing. The rules are the same as before."
"Let's take a look at this." Aurora took a poster from her space bag and spread it on the table.
Everyone moved their heads closer to the poster, and Ron's eyes fell on the poster. It said:
"The twenty-second" Roland's Cup "Ranking Tournament of Baroque Academy."
Next was the date of the match, signed by Dean Platz.
According to the ranking tournament's arrangements, all of the five hundred or so dorms in Barofax Academy would form a team and compete in the tournament, the entire competition would be split into four competition areas. Each competition area would have an average of over a hundred teams, first they would fight in the preliminaries, and then a elimination system would be implemented.
After the preliminaries were over, there would be sixteen teams from each competition area, and the sixty-four teams from the four competition areas would draw lots for a one on one match. The winner would be promoted, eliminated, turned into thirty-two teams, entered the finals, and then the remaining sixteen teams would enter the finals of the eighth division, and the remaining eight teams would enter the quarter-finals, and after that, the semi-finals. There would be four teams, and among the four teams, the victorious teams would fight for the Roland Cup, the loser's two teams would fight for the third division of the season.
Ron sat on the sofa and rested his chin on his hand. "If that's the case, then we definitely can't lose if we want to be champions. Losing once won't do …"
"Indeed!" Aurora nodded. At this time, she let out a bitter laugh and said, "However, for a team that lacks natural talent like ours, there's no need for the championship. Originally, our goal was to be within the top 100 of the ranking tournament."
"That means we should at least get into the sixty-four."
"Sixty-four!" Only sixty-four people will be able to qualify … " Aurora clenched her fists.
dorm 302 was lacking in talent, the rest of the dorms were full combat squads, and they only had seven people, three of which were still Apprentice-level rookies that couldn't be used. The only priest had nervous problems, he didn't have very good healing skills, and the only ones who could really fight were Aurora, Ron, and Manny.
Fatty laughed, "Won't Ron be able to fight one against a hundred? If that's the case, wouldn't it be easy for us to win a championship?"
"Impossible!" Rönn shook his head and said, "That day I was dealing with a motley crowd of people with all kinds of strength, it was simply impossible for them to form an effective cooperation with each other. Besides, there are many strong warriors in other dormitories.
"That's right!" Aurora nodded. "Being impetuous is a good thing, but having unrealistic fantasies isn't. Let's just keep our feet on the ground and do it step by step!" Chapter error, point this report (registered free)
