Chapter 23: Betting

Ding dong.

In Chen Beiming's mind, a voice sounded.

"Surely the mission is accomplished!"

He hurriedly went to look, and sure enough, the system prompted that the third task, that is, the task of becoming a literary soldier, was successfully completed.

"What about the reward? Where is it? ”

He was wondering, and there was another dingdong in his head.

He thought that the system was rewarding him with 1,000 system coins, but when he looked closely, he was startled.

"The leg wound is healed."

The leg injury is all healed?

He pulled up his trouser leg in disbelief and looked down.

The unbelievable thing really happened, the hideous scar on the leg faded a lot, and after moving the right leg, I found that even if I exerted force, there would be no pain.

"It's not really good, is it?"

Chen Beiming had a feeling of being like a dream.

After a while, he found a remote, uninhabited trail and did a 100-meter sprint.

But even if he used his fastest speed, he didn't feel any pain in his right leg, just like he had before the injury.

"The way I am now - I can stay in the Sword Commando."

Chen Beiming was secretly happy.

Of course, he knew that it was impossible, and the task given to him by the system was to become a literary soldier, so he could only focus on literature and art, and everything else could only be sidelined.

Ding dong.

At this time, another sound sounded in my head.

If you look closely, the 1,000 system coins rewarded by the system have already arrived.

Seeing those system coins, Chen Beiming suddenly remembered something.

A few days ago, the civet cat didn't tell him that as long as he completed the third task, his leg injury would heal on its own, and she told him to borrow money to buy medicine for treatment.

"This civet cat..... The heart is too dark, isn't it? I was almost taken advantage of by her! ”

Thinking of this, Chen Beiming hurriedly went to find the civet cat.

"Civet, you come out for me!" Chen Beiming pretended to be angry and shouted.

The civet cat hides in the virtual room that the system has built for her, and closes the door tightly.

"Why should I come out? I'm not coming out! Not only did she respond domineeringly, but she also stuck out her tongue at Chen Beiming and grimaced.

Chen Beiming was furious and kicked the door with his foot, but unfortunately this room was made by the system for civet cats, which was extremely strong, Chen Beiming kicked his legs and hurt, but the door did not change at all.

Chen Beiming immediately changed his strategy, squeezed out a smiling face, and came to the window to look at the civet: "Civet, can we still be friends?" ”

"Of course, we're good friends." The civet cat said with a pair of big, innocent eyes.

Chen Beiming almost wanted to scold his mother again, but in the end he held back.

"Forget it, don't worry about this guy, for the sake of her helping me in the written test, I won't worry about her."

Chen Beiming secretly comforted himself.

He knows 90% of the content of the written test, but he really can't answer some things that are out of the way without civets.

So I have to admit that although the civet cat always likes to do this and that, she has never dropped the chain at critical moments.

"Okay, civet, I'm not mad at you, you come out."

"Why should I go out! I can't get out! The civet replied with a grin, then stuck out his tongue and grimaced.

Ding dong.

The voice rang out again.

Chen Beiming no longer paid attention to the civet cat, but looked at the new tasks released by the system.

"Next task: win the grand prize of the October essay contest!"

What the?

Chen Beiming's face turned white.

He is not an ignorant child who does not know the height of the sky, he knows how many pounds and taels he has.

"Bright Sword" is very good, but the writers of this world are also very remarkable.

If you want to win the grand prize, you have to beat the other forty-nine writers, but no matter which rank is higher than him.

Of the forty-nine people, two-thirds of their works are not as good as "Bright Sword", but that's only two-thirds!

The rest of the quality is on par with Bright Sword.

What's even worse is the selection of this award, the judges' scores only account for 70%, and the remaining 30% all depend on readers' votes, in other words, it's still about popularity.

But Chen Beiming's popularity is almost zero now, and "Bright Sword" has just begun to be serialized, where does he have any loyal readers? But the other works have already been serialized, and they all have a large readership.

The selection of this essay contest began on June 25th, in other words, his bright sword has only published 40,000 words, and he has to PK with other works that have all been published!

A few days ago, Ma Youwei analyzed him, saying that he and Li Mingyu competed for the grand prize, and if he went all out and nothing went wrong in the middle, there was a chance of about 10%.

Only ten percent!

However, the task given to him by the system was that he had to win 100% of the grand prize.

Isn't this forcing men to have babies?

Chen Beiming was so distressed that he grabbed his hair.

At this time, the civet cat's voice sounded: "Chen Beiming, do you want to know a shortcut that can make you win?" ”

"A shortcut? You have? Chen Beiming's heart jumped.

"Of course." The civet cat smirked, then squeaked open the door and walked out of the room.

"What shortcut?"

"Actually, it's very simple, you just need to buy a lucky fruit in the system mall and eat it, in that case, your luck will be so good! It won't be difficult to win the grand prize. "The civet cats are good at it.

Chen Beiming hurriedly looked at the system mall.

Sure enough, after the first three tasks were completed, the system mall was upgraded, and there were a lot of more things, including one called Lucky Fruit.

However, the cheapest one costs 10,000 system coins.

He only has a thousand, ten thousand now? How can you afford it?

The civet cat immediately said in a kind way: "Of course you can't afford it now, but it doesn't matter, you can borrow money from me first, I can lend you 10,000 yuan first, you know, I'm very rich." ”

As soon as Chen Beiming heard the word borrowing money, he instinctively became vigilant in his heart.

10,000 system coins, according to the virtue of civets, at least 100% interest, then this life..... I am afraid that I will be entangled by loan sharks.

"Forget it, don't mention the matter of borrowing money in the future." Chen Beiming flatly refused.

But this time the civet cat was not excited, but said very calmly: "Chen Beiming, it's okay, it's still early, you have time to think carefully, but I believe you will definitely borrow it from me, because you want to rely on your ability to complete this task, I think it's better to go to the sky with your bare hands!" ”

When Chen Beiming heard this, he was not happy: "Civet, don't look down on people!" ”

"I didn't look down on you, I just said the truth." The civet cat replied lightly.

Without waiting for Chen Beiming to speak, the civet cat pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "What? Still not convinced? Then why don't we make a bet? Just bet on whether you can complete the task of the system without the lucky fruit, I bet that you can't, if I win, I only have one condition, you must borrow money from me again unconditionally, and it is up to me to borrow how much to borrow, but you can rest assured, it will definitely not exceed 50,000! ”

As soon as Chen Beiming heard the word borrowing money, he knew that the civet cat was fooling again, so he sneered: "Hahaha, civet, the fox's tail is exposed, right?" Speaking of which, you just want me to borrow your loan shark, and I'll tell you, I'm not fooled, I'm β€” noβ€”borrowing! ”

In the blink of an eye, Chen Beiming retreated.

When the civet cat saw it, he was anxious and screamed: "Hey, Chen Beiming, don't go, hey-don't go, if you don't agree, we can still discuss, hey, don't go-"
