But the current situation is not so good. If Ye Li accepts Zhong Tianming's challenge now, after they fight, Ye Li loses the game and all the star crystals are handed over.
Then Ye Li's training progress this year will be very slow, and he may become an ordinary soldier by next year, and will no longer be worth training.
Their first battalion will also lose a good fighter, and the only ones who benefit will naturally be the guys from the second battalion like Zhong Tianming.
"I accept, but I don't have a single star crystal on me, let alone 219 star crystals."
Ye Li spoke up.
He is actually a bit cunning, because although he is now in the recruit team, he is different from ordinary recruits, that is, he will only stay in the recruit team for one month.
After that, he will leave the recruit team and go to the normal veteran camp.
Even if he would lose to the opponent this time and lose 219 star crystals, as long as he could leave the recruit team, he would be able to participate in various tasks and naturally earn more to make up for the losses.
But the others didn't know this. They thought Ye Li would be here for a year, so they only set the total number of star crystals to 219.
Hearing Ye Li's words, Zhong Tianming's expression lit up with joy. He originally thought that he needed to provoke Ye Li before he would agree. He never expected that Ye Li would agree so readily.
"Hehe, all you have to do is agree to it. Two hundred and nineteen star crystals are your annual salary as a new recruit. If you lose the battle, the army will naturally transfer the salary directly to me, and you will get nothing for the whole year.
As for me, I can still prepare 219 star crystals for you. If you can really beat me, just take them.
Of course, this possibility does not exist at all. With your level of a rookie, it is simply impossible to defeat me in the ring."
A confident smile appeared on Zhong Tianming's face. In his opinion, there was no way Ye Li could defeat him in the ring. From the moment Ye Li agreed to the challenge, the 219 star crystals had already entered his Qiankun bag.
Moreover, being able to weaken the future strength of the First Battalion was a happy thing for him.
Yin Hu, who was standing next to him with a proud look on his face, glanced at Zhong Tianming and said, "Tianming, you made a profit this time."
Zhong Tianming said: "Hey, Brother Hu, when I get the star crystals, I'll give you half. I can't use all of them anyway." Hearing that the two were already discussing how to split the profits, Ye Li's eyes flashed with sarcasm. The other party really thought he was a soft persimmon that could be easily squeezed.
If Zhong Tianming's strength was only at the level of Tu Gusha or Feng Luowu, then when a fight broke out, he really would not be afraid of the opponent.
Even if the opponent already knew that he possessed the power of soul movement and both sides entered the stage of hard attack, he did not think that he would definitely lose.
But now he didn't plan to say these words. After being out there for quite a while, Ye Li also understood that sometimes pretending to be nice could save him a lot of time.
Since the other party didn't take him seriously, he would try his best to let the other party continue to think this way.
After the other party finished talking nonsense, Ye Li asked, "You want to challenge me to a fight, but don't you want to tell me the time?"
Zhong Tianming thought about it and said, "Then tomorrow afternoon, after your recruit team training is over, we will meet at the camp arena."
Hearing Zhong Tianming's words, Ye Li naturally agreed readily.
Li San next to him did not look very happy at the moment. In his opinion, Ye Li offended Zhong Tianming and others because he helped them.
He had just heard how powerful Zhong Tianming was, so he couldn't help but worry about Ye Li.
After Zhong Tianming and the others left, Li Shuo walked up to Ye Li and said, "Brother Ye, you really shouldn't have agreed to Zhong Tianming's challenge just now. This guy is very strong and it is basically impossible for you to defeat him.
Once you lose all your salary for this year, your cultivation speed will be greatly affected. Wasting a year is definitely not a small matter for you."
Hearing Li Shuo's words, Ye Li didn't care too much and said, "It's too early to talk about winning or losing before the fight.
If you win, it's a skill, if you lose, it's because you're not as skilled as your opponent, there's nothing much to say."
Hearing Ye Li's answer, Li Shuo showed a helpless look. In his opinion, Ye Li was still too naive and thought things were too simple.
Li San looked at Ye Li and said, "Brother Ye Li, this battle was triggered because you helped us. If you didn't want to help us, you wouldn't have to fight with that Zhong Tianming.
If you don't fight, you won't lose a year's worth of star crystals.
I suggest that if you lose, the star crystals you lost should be shared by us. After all, it is because of us that you got into trouble, and because of your presence, the other party will no longer bother us. No matter what, we should repay you. Don’t you agree?”
As Li San spoke, he looked at the other recruits around him, only to find that these recruits had no intention of even looking at him at the moment. They all turned their heads away and looked elsewhere.
"You, what do you mean by this, don't you even want to pay for the slightest loss
Ye Li took action because of us. Not only did he help us teach those guys a lesson, but he also forced them to only bother him in the end. We can be completely free from harassment this year.
Based on these things, are you still not willing to make a small loss for him? That's really too unfair."
As Li San spoke, his tone was already somewhat angry. In his opinion, these people were all pretending to be stupid and did not want to lose any star crystals at all, including helping Ye Li share the bet.
The many recruits did not change much because of his words. Although a hint of guilt appeared on their faces, they were unwilling to give up their own interests to make up for Ye Li's losses.
"You...you will be punished for doing this!"
When Li San got to the back, he was so angry that he couldn't say a word and could only curse hatefully.
Li Shuo looked at these people and frowned somewhat. Could such a selfish group of people really help them after joining their battalion
They seemed harmonious and united before, but now it seems that they only showed unity because they wanted to protect their own interests. Once they were really involved in something that required some actual benefits, these people retreated one by one.
Li Shuo could understand this situation. Having been in the Imperial Guard for a long time, he had seen all kinds of people. After all, this place was not like the Imperial City.
Although he did not like what these people did, in the Imperial Guard, selfish people often lived better than generous people.
