Popularity is everything; I play a super genius.

Chapter 61 I Didn't Originally Intend to Use Dimensional Reduction Strike

Amid cheers, jerks, and shouts of encouragement, Saki calmly stepped onto the ring.

He has very sharp ears; when he went on stage, he overheard Tsukimi and Shizuka discussing spinach.

Judging from what they said, the betting had been going on for about a week.

Upon hearing this, Qi Ji's eyes lit up immediately!

This is outrageous! They didn't include me in the opening sale?

A fool wouldn't take the money!

Saki also tossed the purse she had just received from Shirai to Tsukimi:

"Laoyue, count me in! Bet on me to win!"

Tsukimi took the money pouch and weighed it in her hand, surprised that this kid actually had quite a bit of money.

Then, as if remembering something, he suddenly appeared on the arena.

Without any hesitation, he put his arm around Qi Ji and squatted down with him in the corner of the ring.

Incredibly, he openly colluded with his own students to devise a "betting scheme" right under everyone's noses!

"How do you want to bet? The odds for a straight win are too low. How about we combine it with a 'big' or 'small' bet at the same time? What do you mean?"

Tsukimi handed the paper with the odds printed on it to Saki.

Qi Ji glanced at it and found that even though it was just a simple competition, the betting options were surprisingly varied.

However, if you let him buy, he should naturally buy the one with the highest odds!

"Buy this, all of it."

Tsukimi glanced at Saki's finger and was stunned.

I never expected this brat to go this far!

What Saki bought was—

At 9 minutes and 10 seconds, Saki Sakuma won.

In addition to the rules for winning, the time limit for winning is also specified, down to the second!

"Seriously, you're not thinking the money's too hot to handle, are you? Are you sure you want to buy this? A second earlier or a second later, and you'll lose everything!"

"Sure."

Saki nodded, then unceremoniously reached out and took the exquisitely crafted and expensive mechanical watch from Tsukimi's wrist, who was still in shock.

"Huh?! You..."

Tsukimi was taken aback, then a pained expression appeared on her face. She wanted to take it back but held back, only repeatedly reminding him...

"Be careful later! Don't break my watch! It's very valuable!"

"Don't worry, I'll eat it if it's spoiled."

"Oh, right, this is an alarm clock with an alarm function. Remember to set the time! Nine minutes and ten seconds!"

Saki waved his hand, indicating that he knew.

This is his money, so he will definitely, certainly, and absolutely care about it.

Anyone who tries to make him lose money, he'll end their life!

The viewers in the live chat laughed when they saw this.

Immediately, some trolls jumped out again, attempting to slander Saki's noble character:

"Laoyue, what do you mean 'your watch'? It's on our Brother Ji's wrist, and you want it back?"

"Hilarious! Hagiwara has your eye on your watch, I told you!"

Of course, some viewers were also focused on the betting.

Many viewers who had previously enjoyed the benefits of betting games requested that Qiji's live stream also offer betting games.

Qi Ji saw this, and being a streamer who dotes on her fans, she generously granted their request.

【Ding! 】

[System Notification: Special item "Guessing Card" successfully used!]

As the betting opened, Qi Ji casually opened the real-time betting page for the predictions and glanced at it.

But he laughed.

Despite the fierce cheers in the live stream supporting Su Shi, the votes overwhelmingly favored those who voted for Qi Ji to win.

……

Watching that unserious teacher and student whispering to each other for a long time by the ring.

Su Shi, who had been waiting quietly and trying her best to maintain her composure, finally let out a throbbing vein on her forehead beneath her mask!

She glanced at referee Huang Lu, who was also looking on with disbelief and sighing, and could no longer contain herself:

"Teacher, may we begin? Please ask any unrelated personnel to leave the ring!"

Teacher Huang Lu had also had enough of Yuejian's shameful behavior, and upon hearing this, she stepped forward.

Without any hesitation, he grabbed Tsukimi by the back of his collar and dragged him away from Sakiji like a reluctant large dog.

On the arena, only Su Shi and Qi Ji remained, standing on opposite sides.

Su Shi looked at Qi Ji, slightly raised his chin, and asked in a cold voice:

"Were you betting on yourself to lose just now?"

Qi Ji shook his head: "I don't do business that loses money."

"So you bet on yourself to win?"

"Yes, that's right," Saki said matter-of-factly.

Then, he glanced at the audience.

Lao Yuechong gave him an "OK" sign, indicating that the game was closed.

Seeing this, Saki began to speak calmly and confidently:

"I bet on myself to win, and I won against you at 9 minutes and 10 seconds."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room erupted in uproar!

"Holy crap! 9 minutes and 10 seconds?! That's accurate to the second???"

"Dude, are you telling a story here?!"

"This is outrageous! They're completely disregarding Su Shi!"

They'd heard rumors about Saki's arrogance more than once, but seeing him in person, they never imagined he could be this arrogant...

Of course, if someone is arrogant because they have the ability, then naturally no one can say anything.

Even if you dislike him, you can only keep it to yourself.

But if you don't have the ability but still try to act like this...

Many students, especially those who are envious and jealous, are already looking forward to Saki's defeat CG.

"???"

Upon hearing this, Su Shi felt a surge of hot blood rush to his head, and his whole body began to tremble slightly with anger.

From childhood to adulthood, she had never suffered such humiliation.

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her almost explosive anger, but her voice was already icy cold:

"Fine! Very well!! You've completely enraged me!!!"

We're all the same age, I never intended to use a superior strategy!

"Huh?"

After listening to Su Shi's forced words, Qi Ji was stunned for a moment, and his expression under the mask was somewhat strange.

For a moment, he even had the illusion that the other person had stolen his lines.

However, upon closer reflection, it makes sense!

After all, they are both "chameleons," so it's only natural that they would share similar boastful pronouncements.

You should know that the character of the "Thousand Faces" card is a genius with a chuunibyou syndrome who loves to talk nonsense!

It's like the real Li Kui meeting a fake Li Gui.

In short, a verbal sparring match precedes a fight; traditional arts cannot afford to lose.

Saki immediately retorted:

"There's one thing I think you've got wrong."

We are not the same age.

Su Shi: "?"

Was the 27th of last month your birthday?

My birthday is still a long way off.

So strictly speaking, you are a year older than me.

As for the point about using dimensional reduction to attack, that's not entirely wrong.

But the one who gets hurt will be you.

After saying that, Saki glanced at his watch, looking relaxed.

"We can talk like this for another nine minutes."

Su Shi was stunned for a moment before she understood what Qi Ji meant.

His little fists clenched instantly!

"You mean you can defeat me in just ten seconds?"

"No, no, no."

Saki pointed to the time.

"Nine seconds have already passed in the time it took us to chat."

"Are you saying you can beat me in a second?"

"Otherwise what?" Saki asked, looking incredibly irritating.

The way he's acting, once the viewers in the live chat get into it, it's both incredibly embarrassing and exhilarating!

"Waaaaah! The strong are meant to humiliate the weak!"

"I can't wait to see Lao Ji beat Su Shi until she's crying uncontrollably!"

"Please bring up the defeat CG sequence!!"

"No way, you all betrayed us! What happened to supporting Su Shi and tearing down the mask of solitude?"

"Hey! Let the prison knock off the mask of lamentation, it's the same thing!"

A barrage of comments even began to persecute Su Shi.

Su Shi, who was on the field, finally couldn't take it anymore and was completely blown away by Qi Ji's trash talk:

"Are you kidding me?!"

Su Shi gave up on arguing with Qi Ji.

Although she was arrogant, she still had basic self-awareness.

When it comes to words, she can't outwit Qi Ji!

Moreover, since they are both already standing on the ring, then—

Let's see who's truly capable!

Otherwise, no matter how eloquent you are or how witty your words are, if you lose, you'll only become a laughing stock.

And now, she's going to turn Saki into a laughingstock!

And at this very moment—

The lawsuit has been filed!
