Drawing in the Net (1)

Today was the tenth day since Mo Xiu arrived at the arena.

Within ten days, Mo Xiu went from a student who had been booed in the arena, to the King of the underground arena that everyone knew.

He enjoyed the cheers in the arena every day and became the undefeated legend of the people… Blood Fist.

Early in the morning, Xue Jin called Mo Xiu over.

“Mo Xiu, how have you been these past few days?”

Mo Xiu said excitedly, “I’ve been great! I’ve never received so much money or enjoyed such a life.”

Xue Jin was very satisfied with Mo Xiu’s answer. “Not bad. However, the remuneration for the past few days has not increased. What do you think of this?”

Mo Xiu said nonchalantly, “It’s fine. I already have a lot of money. I just need to maintain the status quo.”

After hearing Mo Xiu’s words, Xue Jin said with a disappointed expression, “Mo Xiu, where’s your drive when you first came here? How can you be content with the current situation? Wouldn’t it be good to obtain more money to go to university?”

Mo Xiu spread out his hands and said, “I don’t lack anything now, so why do I still need to go to university? Isn’t the point of going to university just to live like this? I already have it!”

Xue Jin knew that Mo Xiu had completely fallen into his hands. He was content with the current situation and obeyed orders.

“Look at this!”

Mo Xiu took the document that Xue Jin handed to him and opened the first page. His expected rewards were written on it.

“Ticket revenue: 200,000 yuan.”

“Revenue from expected tips: 500,000 yuan.”

“Estimated revenue from bets: 10 million yuan.”

Mo Xiu suddenly looked up at Xue Jin, his eyes filled with disbelief.

“Boss Xue, what… What is happening here?”

Xue Jin stood up and patted Mo Xiu’s shoulder.

“If you want to lose tonight, you’ll get this amount of money, perhaps even more.”

Mo Xiu frowned and said, “But… But I just became the new king of the underground arena. This is when I…”

Xue Jin laughed loudly. Mo Xiu’s words at this moment meant that he no longer resisted losing the competition.

“Mo Xiu, after you lose this round, take the money and have fun outside for a few days. When you come back, I will arrange for your winning streak.”

Mo Xiu said reluctantly, “But what about my fans? If I lose, they won’t support me anymore.”

Xue Jin said meaningfully, “Do you think that the audience likes to see the king undefeated without a doubt, or do you think they prefer seeing the king coming back to destroy any doubts?”

A glint flashed across Mo Xiu’s eyes. After some thought, he said, “Alright, I’ll lose tonight. What’s the script like?”

“The document I gave you just now is followed by the script. Go back and prepare well.”

Mo Xiu nodded and left the room without another word.

Xue Jin leaned back in his chair and made a call.

“It’s ready.”

“Don’t worry, Mo Xiu is still under control. He’s just a student.”

Mo Xiu did not return to his room. Instead, he kept walking along the corridor. After a long time, he saw an acquaintance walk out of their room. Only then did he return to his own room.

Then, he sent a message to Yue Yuan.

“Ant, check the specific gambling methods of the underground arena.”

Ten minutes later.

“The gambling method is a little special. All audience members who enter the venue must use their real names and provide the arena with a bank account number. After entering the venue, the audience members can place their bets in the special software used in the arena. The results of the competition and the bet will be automatically settled by the software. After the competition ends, the first thing the arena needs to do is to transfer the winnings into the audience’s accounts via an anonymous account. The money will be transferred to the accounts in real time.”

Mo Xiu finally understood why very few people reported the arena to the authorities even though there were so many people in the audience. The reason was because of the system.

The arena transferred the winnings to the audience’s accounts in real time to restrict and fix their customer base. It was unknown who came up with this operation method.

Mo Xiu sent a message to Mu Qingyi, Yue Yuan, and Liu Ziyang.

“Ants, draw in the nets tonight. The plan is as follows…”

…

At the rooftop of the Sky Treasure Hotel.

“Tonight is the first battle after the new king of the arena has ascended to the throne. Do I need to introduce Blood Fist to everyone?”

Everyone cheered.

“No need!!!”

“Blood Fist! Blood Fist! Blood Fist!”

The emcee gestured for the audience to quiet down.

“Everyone, calm down. I have yet to introduce his opponent. Blood Fist’s opponent is a new King Boxer, Silver Warrior. He has unparalleled speed and can often win by surprise.”

The audience became noisy again.

“What the heck? Silver Warrior fought almost 200 matches before he advanced to become a King Boxer. There’s no competition at all.”

“I reckon Blood Fist will be done in one punch. There’s no suspense at all.”

“Blood Fist, I will bet everything on your victory.”

The emcee could not control the emotions of the audience and could only shout loudly.

“Let us welcome both parties into the arena. The first is Silver Warrior!”

The crowd booed even louder than the first time Mo Xiu went on stage. Silver Warrior practically walked up the stage with his head lowered.

“Next is the king, Blood Fist!”

The entire audience erupted into a sea of cheers.

Mo Xiu was in no hurry. He slowly walked towards the competition venue.

During this time, he made a lot of interactions with the audience. While walking to the arena, he took off his cloak and threw it at the spectators.

After arrogantly walking onto the stage, Mo Xiu leaned against the edge of the stage and greeted the audience, completely disregarding his opponent.

In the next segment where both sides looked at each other, Mo Xiu was even more aggressive. He walked forward as he watched and was warned many times by the emcee.

Meanwhile, Silver Warrior was a little timid and kept retreating, not daring to look at Mo Xiu.

Mo Xiu shouted loudly, “Silver Warrior, was it? I think you should go down, lest you get seriously injured and can’t fight in the future.”

The mood in the venue was raised to the highest point. Then, the emcee gave the order for the competition to begin.

“Begin!”

…

At the same time, Yue Yuan and Liu Ziyang sneaked into Sky Treasure Hotel.

“Old Yue, do you think Boss Mo Xiu’s plan will work? Isn’t it a little too hasty to draw in the net now?”

Yue Yuan said angrily, “If you want to leave, sure. You can be the boss. If not, follow the plan. How’s the law enforcement team doing?”

Liu Ziyang said smugly, “Boss has instructed me to contact the law enforcement team. I’ve been constantly testing these few days and finally found someone I can trust completely. Just watch carefully.”

Yue Yuan nodded. Although Liu Ziyang was usually cheerful, he was also an extremely serious person at crucial moments.

…

When the match began, Mo Xiu did not even activate his skill. He just quietly looked at Silver Warrior and made an inviting gesture.

Silver Warrior gritted his teeth and activated his skill to charge towards Mo Xiu.

At this moment, Mo Xiu used his skill and kicked Silver Warrior.

Silver Warrior was kicked and retreated to the edge of the field before stopping.

Then, he looked warily at Mo Xiu. Seeing that Mo Xiu did not make any further moves, Silver Warrior rushed forward again.

With a simple punch, Mo Xiu knocked Silver Warrior back again. After that, Silver Warrior rushed forward again.

This continued for more than ten times. Mo Xiu stood firmly on the spot, while Silver Warrior was sweating profusely from running back and forth.

Xue Jin, who was sitting in the front row, nodded. Mo Xiu had done well. Everything was going according to the script.

After a few more moves, Mo Xiu seemed to have lost interest in playing and took the initiative to attack.

However, since Silver Warrior was too fast, Mo Xiu couldn’t hit him.

After a few minutes of chasing, Mo Xiu forced Silver Warrior into a corner and punched him.

Below the stage, Xue Jin’s lips curled up slightly. According to the script, Silver Warrior should quickly move behind Mo Xiu and deal a critical hit. After that, the battle would turn around. Then, Mo Xiu would be defeated after being unable to resist.

Mo Xiu punched out and Silver Warrior disappeared before quickly appearing behind Mo Xiu.

Everyone thought that Mo Xiu would definitely be hit by this attack, including Xue Jin.

However, no one expected Mo Xiu to suddenly turn around and use his full strength with his right fist. Everyone present heard the sound of the wind breaking from this punch as it directly hit Silver Warrior on the back.
