Chapter 437: Raising the Stakes
Mei Terumi reacted quickly and said, "Soccia, I want to raise the stakes!"

"Ms. Sosia, I want to raise the stakes as well."

"I also want."

Top players have spoken out.

Even Shanks and Whitebeard, who always went with the flow, couldn't help but look with red eyes at the black-haired boy who showed his amazing talent.

Upping the ante.

It is an act in which players, after placing a bet, pay out of their own pockets to give benefits to newcomers.

You can consume reward points to purchase monsters and throw them near new players. These monsters purchased by players will surely drop treasure chests.

After hunting, newcomers can grow faster.

It can be considered a means of interfering with the standings.

but,

Generally speaking, no player is willing to increase the chip.

Because the price is too high.

When purchasing polluted monsters to give to new players, the game will not adjust the price based on the strength of the monsters. Instead, the price will be fixed based on the strongest monsters encountered by the new players in this trial.

That is,

Even if Terumi wanted to buy the weakest goblin, she still had to pay for it according to the [Contaminated GBL Cultist] matched for the Holy Lord.

No one with a normal mind would do such a blood-loss thing.

But there are exceptions,
Just like it is now.

When encountering a newcomer with potential that is enough to impress everyone, the top players from all sides will spare no effort to snatch him away, just to gain the right to recruit him first.

Mei Terumi increased the stakes to ensure that the person she bet on, Ying Zheng, would win the championship.

The others increased the stakes in an attempt to stop Ying Zheng from winning the championship, so that they could cancel Terumi Mei's priority right to recruit.

Mei Terumi said in a cold voice: "Everyone, the black-haired boy is the newcomer that I, Mei Terumi, bet on first. Do you want to be my enemy?"

"You, Kirigakure, are not qualified to be the enemy of the Navy Alliance. If it were not for maintaining the balance of the worlds, the Navy would have executed Kirigakure long ago."

In Akainu's eyes, Ying Zheng is about to become the future navy's killer, and it is impossible for him to be handed over.

Moreover, although the Naval Alliance lost Aokiji, it still has the confidence to look down on other forces.

Tsunade looked at the busty Mizukage and teased, "Is it wrong to just want to support the person you bet on?"

"very good."

Terumi was so angry that her teeth were itching, but there was nothing she could do.

This behavior of increasing the stakes to snatch people has not been prevented by the game, which means that the game merchants have tacitly accepted it.

Players compete with each other, and the money from buying monsters will flow into the wallets of game merchants. The old players are well aware of the money-making style of the reincarnation game, and it is useless even if they complain to Fang Yi.

It’s so hard to meet such a newcomer, and the Hidden Mist Village will never let him go.

In this case, it depends on who has more assets.

"The Konoha Hokage's breach of contract gave me the opportunity to transfer the internal ninja conflicts of the Hidden Mist Village to the front battlefield and completely control the rear."

Mei Terumi is not afraid of competing with these people in assets.
During this period, with the assistance of Kanjuro, Haku, and Zabuza, Kirigakure had already become an iron barrel of its own making.

It is no longer the Hidden Mist Village that had to look at the faces of the Master and the Ninja Clan.

The rest of the forces,
Although the Whitebeard Pirates and the Demon Slayer Corps under their command are united, their overall assets are limited.

Shanks and Aokiji's adventure team is more like a start-up team that has joined forces with various countries in the pirate world, similar to a joint headquarters, and has insufficient assets.

There is tension in Konoha, where there is competition between the Hokage faction, the Ninja clan, and the mobile force.

The Navy Alliance has the most assets, but like Konoha, the various naval commanders are not united in their views.

Mei Terumi sneered in her heart: "Humph, don't think that the Navy Union is the only one with an intelligence department. Our Kirigakure Anbu is no pushover either."

but,

Soon she couldn't laugh anymore.

Because the other top players actually put aside their differences temporarily, united together, and at the same time gave a newcomer more chips and teleported monsters into the game.

There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Obviously, the shock brought by Ying Zheng has allowed various forces to temporarily give up their hatred.

"Fang piercing..." The snake bit off the throat of a demon and injected venom in a brutal manner.

The demon's body fell heavily to the ground, and a treasure chest emerged.

"Another treasure chest?"

The Snake was very surprised. Why did he suddenly feel that the drop rate of the treasure chest increased?

Originally, only after killing several or even dozens of demons could a low-level white treasure chest drop.

Now, it's almost like an insider lottery, with every demon dropping a treasure chest.

"Could it be that even the fallen true dragon is looking after me, knowing that I, the Lazy Snake, am the future leader of the sea clan?"

After absorbing the dragon energy from the treasure chest, the lazy snake felt comfortable all over.

suddenly,

The snake's tail in soul state had thick scales as big as a fingernail.

The lazy snake suddenly howled excitedly to the sky.

Its original form is a snake, and even after practicing for thousands of years, it cannot cross the level of life. This is the rule of the sea world. Only by crossing the Dragon Gate can it become a real dragon.

And now, its snake body actually grew a scale because of absorbing the dragon's energy.

Dragon scales!

Every true dragon has its own unique dragon scales.

Just like the former boss of the Snake, the fallen real dragon, it has five dragon scales.

The golden dragon scales of Bubble, the sapphire dragon scales of Seahorse, the emerald dragon scales of Jellyfish, the flame dragon scales of Traitor Green Turtle, the life dragon scales of Ivy Dragon...

They correspond to the true dragon's strength, agility, spirit, fire and vitality respectively.

The dragon scales that grow out of the snake's tail,
For now, it can only be said that it is an ordinary scale containing dragon energy. If it wants to grow into a real dragon scale, more dragon energy is needed.

But it has been predicted that if the Snake can evolve into a real dragon, the attribute of its dragon scale will be [Venom].

"A poisonous dragon is also a dragon, a real dragon. If you didn't choose me to be your successor, you will regret it one day!"

The snake twisted its body frantically and swam deeper into the lava hell.

The desire to absorb dragon energy has reached its peak.

this time,

When Snake encountered a commander-level demon captain, he was almost split in half by the demon's axe. However, Snake killed the commander-level demon captain by relying on his desire for Jackie Chan.

hum.

A treasure chest emitting a blue halo falls.

The lazy snake couldn't wait to open it, but found that there was not dragon energy inside, but a piece of broken dragon crystal.

[Second-level Poison Dragon's Dragon Crystal (Broken)]: A fallen poisonous dragon. After its death, its dragon essence condensed into dragon crystal. After fusion, there is a chance of having the bloodline of a poisonous dragon.

"A poisonous dragon... it has wings and a big belly. Is it worthy of being a dragon?"

The excitement on the face of the lazy snake came to an abrupt end the moment it touched the poisonous dragon crystal.

He looked at the precious Poison Dragon Crystal with disgust and contempt.

In the eyes of the lazy snake, the dragon crystal that exudes the aura of a western dragon can only be called a giant lizard, and only a dragon with a snake body like itself can be called a true dragon.

Although I long to become a dragon, I am not a scumbag with a weak dragon aura.

In its view,

The Western dragon is just like the old vine dragon that stole the scales of the real dragon. It is just a hybrid dragon and is not worthy of being accepted by himself.

boom.

The scoundrel snake swung its tail, and the tail, like an iron whip, smashed the dragon crystal.

He did not choose to fuse, but simply absorbed the dragon energy and venom inside.

[Venom Dragon Scale (Lv. 1)]: Barely transformed into the core of a dragon scale, it can grant its owner the power of venom.

"It's done!"

The lazy snake screamed wildly.
