Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Mo Yi and Su Rong went to the training room, leaving only Mo Fei and Lou Yu in the hall.
"Why do you want to improve Su Rong's cultivation level?" Lou Yu asked curiously.
"I have place a bet of 2 billion on him, the odds are 1:10, if Su Rong wins, then I will have 20 billion income, but if he loses..." Mo Fei's facial expression changed dramatically.
Lou Yu raised his eyebrows and was full of surprise."Two billion? You actually placed a bet of 2 billion on Su Rong? How much did you bet on me, to be honest?"
Mo Fei smiled awkwardly, "Your odds are too low. So I didn't bet on you."
"It seems you really have confidence in Su Rong." said Lou Yu shortly.
Mo Fei shrugged his shoulders, "I only thought at that time that he would have a higher chance to win if he could have cured of his injuries. But I didn't expect this guy has such bad luck to meet Ming Yafei in the second round. Fortunately, his opponent is a level 4 star master and he still stands a chance."
Lou Yu looked at Mo Fei and said thoughtfully, "If Su Rong wins, you will earn a lot of money." Twenty billion! That was not a small sum!
Mo Fei nodded, "Yes! Twenty billion, if I can get it, then I will become a real rich man."
"About the two billion, did you split it up to place the bet?" Lou Yu asked gingerly.
Mo Fei nodded, "Of course."
Lou Yu breathed a sigh of relief."You did the right thing. Two billion is not a small sum. The background of those gambling houses in the capital is not simple. If you put all your eggs in one basket, and if Su Rong really wins, you'll really get yourself in trouble when you go to claim your money."
Mo Fei nodded, saying, "I know what I am doing." After a pause, he asked with kind of curiosity, "Who are those people behind those gambling houses?"
"I actually run Minghe Gambling House." Lou Yu said in a plain tone.
"The one ranks the third in the capital?" Mo Fei was a little surprised.
Lou Yu nodded, "Yes! Not only me, but my father also has shares in those major gambling houses."
"I thought the imperial family is forbidden to gamble, " Mo Fei said with a summoned cheek.
Lou Yu shrugged his shoulders, saying helplessly, "The imperial family also needs to survive, not only me, but my big brother Lou Yu also opens a gambling house secretly."
Mo Fei nodded. The imperial family was all wolves in sheep's clothing. He said, "Well, I made a potion for you to recuperate."
Lou Yu raised his head and looked at Mo Fei with surprise, feeling extremely flattered, "Really?"
Mo Fei took out a tube of reagent from his Space Ring and handed it to Lou Yu.
Lou Yu glanced at the reagent casually and found it was a kind of potion he had never seen before. Although he did not know what it was, since Mo Fei said it was a tonic, he did not hesitate to open its lid and drank it all in one breath.
Mo Fei blinked and looked at Lou Yu with an odd expression, "You just drank it without checking. You're not afraid of me poisoning you?"
Lou Yu looked at Mo Fei and asked gently, "Will you?"
"It depends." Mo Fei muttered.
Lou Yu gave Mo Fei a hard look and said grumpily, , "What potion did you give me?"
"Ah! In theory, the experimental potion I have refined should work on your hidden injuries, but I don't know if it actually works." Mo Fei touched his chin with a face of seriousness.
"Experimental potion? You let me drink it before testing if it really works?" Staring at Mo Fei, Lou Yu said grumpily.
Mo Fei nodded, "Yes! There is always the first person to eat crabs. You should feel honored. You are the first one to try this kind of potion. You have made an indelible contribution to the development of pharmaceutics. Oh right! How do you feel now?"
Lou Yu generated his source power and found that his original kind of stagnant source power was much more flexible. So the potion should be effective.
"Where did you get the formula?" Asked Lou Yu.
Mo Fei said calmly, "I figured it out myself."
Lou Yu looked at Mo Fei, feeling as if he had eaten some flies. Pharmacists could only develop their own formulas after reaching level 9. The developed formulas could only be put into use after rounds of experiments. Basically, it would take several years for a grade 9 pharmacist to develop a successful formula. Moreover, there would still be risks. But Mo Fei the asshole...
Looking at Lou Yu's face, Lou Yu said with a hollow laugh, "Although it is just an experimental potion, I used a lot of advanced star herbs. Even if it doesn't work, it won't kill you. Rest assured."
"I really appreciate it." Lou Yu said grumpily.
"Don't mention it. That's my pleasure." Mo Fei then wore a 'it-is-a-cinch-you-don't-have-to-thank-me' face.
Lou Yu's face sank and he was too angry to say anything.
"I heard you ever said that Nine Leaf Heaven-mending Herbs can cure my hidden injuries." Lou Yu said after a long time silence.
The hidden injuries inside his body had troubled Lou Yu for a long time. If it hadn't been those hidden injuries, he would have already advanced to level six.
Mo Fei looked at Lou Yu and frowned."How did you know that? You overheard me talking to Yiyi? Oh, do you like eavesdropping?"
Lou Yu's face turned slightly red."What are you talking about? I heard this by accident cuz you spoke very loudly."
Mo Fei shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes."This kind of herbs is what I saw in an ancient book. It might have died out already."
Mo Fei thought to himself: Nine Leaf Heaven-mending Herb was ever found on his own planet, and it was not known whether it existed on this planet or not.
