"This?
Are bets this big now?
'I, Chen A'Niu, accept!'
Chen Yu waved his large hand.
Adopting a father.
Although the little demon looked full of confidence, Chen Yu was not at all flustered.
He didn't even care if he lost.
What did the bets Chen A'Niu lost have to do with him, Chen Yu?
Chen Yu didn't think he would lose.
Since the little demon wanted to bet, Chen Yu didn't mind.
It's just—
He glanced sideways at the little demon.
Despite being petite.
She was also a top-tier beauty in the making. It was estimated that before she was severely beaten by the hero, she would have been a demon lord capable of captivating all beings.
Chen Yu had no objections to taking such a goddaughter.
He was just afraid,
that as she kept calling him 'father,' his paternal affection might change.
This…
Wouldn't that be too awkward?
'Don't play word games with me with alias names. Chen Yu, do you dare to bet?' the little demon glared and yelled, 'A father-son match, are you in or out?'
'Do you really want to bet?'
Chen Yu raised an eyebrow and murmured.
'Bet!' the little demon glared and chuckled, 'Of course, if you're scared, you can back out. I won't mock a servant.' Look, it's here.
〖Idiot~〗
The 'Soul of Devouring' suddenly popped up. Seeing this message, the little demon's eyes widened. kanδん
'Who are you calling an idiot?'
〖Barbara, give up. Chen Yu is everywhere outside, you can't beat him.〗
'Huh?!' the little demon's expression instantly changed. 'What are you talking about? A mere servant can't be my opponent. Hey, I have plenty of Kubah facilities in my Demon King's Castle, wouldn't I know their characteristics?'
〖……〗
'I see,'
the little demon suddenly said with smug arms crossed.
'You don't want to see me win, do you? Afraid that if I win, my status will surpass yours. Big Milk Cow, I didn't realize you were so cunning!'
〖Wishing you success~〗
'Hmph, I definitely will!' the little demon said arrogantly, 'But, I… I will definitely change my terms. Expanding the fourth queue, no less than 1000 elemental crystals.'
By the end, the little demon's voice had clearly lowered.
She was no longer as confident as she was at the beginning.
She—
was still influenced by the 'Soul of Devouring.'
But based on her experience, she didn't think she would lose. For safety's sake, she wanted to make the terms slightly more favorable to her.
Seeing this, Chen Yu smiled.
'Panicked?'
'Who's panicking? Didn't we just settle it?' the little demon glared, 'How about it, with these terms, do you still dare to bet!'
'Settled?' Chen Yu pressed.
'Ah~!'
'You won't change it again, right?'
'Right!'
'Good, call me 'father'.'
As he spoke, Chen Yu navigated to the expansion page on the control panel.
On the page—
The expansion queue clearly displayed the required elemental crystals.
Quantity: 5.
Not 10,000, not 1,000, not even 100, not even 10 was needed. The elemental quantity required for queue expansion was actually 5.
'Holy cow!'
Seeing this, the little demon was instantly dumbfounded.
'How is this possible?'
She was bewildered.
You know, she was once a great demon king in the underground realm. She had seen the world.
In her Demon King's Castle, Kubah architecture and facilities were not uncommon. She had personally activated countless Kubah structures.
Without exception.
They all came with cursed attributes in addition to their special attributes.
〖Told you not to bet~〗
'This is impossible!' the little demon frowned and remained silent for a long time. 'This is not right. With so many Kubah structures of mine… no, this is definitely a trick. Chen Yu, you tampered with the data!'
By the end, the little demon was directly yelling at Chen Yu.
Accusing him of tampering with data.
Chen Yu:?
He was truly grateful that the little demon thought so highly of him, believing he had such capabilities.
Tampering with data.
If he had that ability, the underground realm probably couldn't contain him.
Besides, if he were truly tampering with data, why would he do this? Wouldn't it be better to just swipe resources and get some divine beast pet eggs?
'A bet is a bet, call me, my precious goddaughter.' Chen Yu squinted and smiled slightly. The little demon, clutching her trident, waved it in exasperation, 'Impossible, I don't believe it, I object. Bet with me again if you dare.'
'Bet again?'
'This time, let's bet on expanding the queue. After expanding the queue, will it increase by 1 or grow exponentially? I bet on 1!' the little demon extended a finger.
'What are you betting this time?'
Chen Yu spread his hands.
'Me!' the little demon suddenly raised her hand and pointed to her chest, 'If I win, our previous bet is void. If I lose, I'm yours to do with as you please!'
The little demon looked serious.
As the great Demon King Barbara, how could she call someone else father?
She wanted to win it back.
She had been too hasty about the resources needed for queue expansion. This time, she was absolutely certain of winning.
No!
It should be absolutely, one hundred percent certain!
Queue expansion would definitely add 1 slot. If it doubled, Chen Yu's magic workbench would be too unbalanced, which was absolutely impossible.
Chen Yu, however, let out a laugh.
'You?'
Amazing.
This little demon actually wanted to use herself as the stake.
Chen Yu couldn't deny that if she were in her original form, she would have some value as a stake. But what could she do in her current state?
Her mouth couldn't even fit a finger.
What use would she be even if he won?
Not only would there be no benefit for Chen Yu, but he would also have to bear the risk of failure. He would absolutely not make such a bet.
'I'm not betting.'
'Are you scared?' the little demon pointed at Chen Yu and glared, 'You're scared, aren't you? If you're scared, then you forfeit, and our previous bet is canceled.'
'Huh?'
Chen Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter.
'Are you not awake? Do you think this kind of provocation will work on me? To bet, you need to put up corresponding stakes. Do you think you are enough of a stake right now?'
'I'm not enough!'
This statement seemed to sting the little demon.
'You're saying I'm not enough of a stake?'
〖The sea of gambling is boundless, turn back to shore〗
'Stop talking!' the little demon glared angrily at the message from the 'Soul of Devouring' on her wristband, 'You big milk cow, you're the worst. I suspect you tampered with the data. But it's okay, the queue can't be tampered with. I'll definitely win this round.'
〖Scrap metal~〗
〖I told you you can't beat Chen Yu, but you just don't believe me. Then gamble. When your legs are so weak you can't get out of bed, you'll finally be honest.〗
'I'm willing!'
The little demon seemed to be caught up in it, raising her chin.
'You just think I'm too small right now, don't you? I'll bet my true form against you.' As she spoke, Chen Yu suddenly felt his shoulder sink.
A wisp of faint fragrance entered Chen Yu's nostrils.
Chen Yu turned his head to look.
A tall, cold, and refined girl wearing a long black dress, her dark eyes like jewels, her teeth biting her lip, her face fierce.
Holding a trident, she said indignantly.
'Bet!'
'If you win, I'm yours!'
'Come on!'
