In a garden on a mountain in Outer Sky, Liyu Zhen and another Very High man were watching a video of Han Sen killing a star beetle.
"Li Xue Cheng, what do you think?" Liyu Zhen asked the man in green clothes.
"Very strong. He might even be stronger than a Very High of the same level. Who is he?" Li Xue Cheng asked, looking at Han Sen in the video.
"The silkworm Exquisite chose is called Han Sen. He is a crystallizer," Liyu Zhen answered.
"She is lucky to have chosen a silkworm like that." Li Xue Cheng nodded.
Liyu Zhen lifted his lips and said, "What does her luck have to do with us?
She is the Very High's favorite, and we are just breeding machines. "
Seeing Li Xue Cheng frown, Liyu Zhen quickly said, "After watching this video, don't you have any thoughts?"
"What do you mean?" Li Xue Cheng frowned.
"When Li Keer gets her silkworm, the silkworm fights will begin. Out of the thirteen silkworms, who do you think will win?" Liyu Zhen asked.
"From what I can see, Han Sen isn't bad, but he is only a ninth-tier King. The other silkworms are half-deified, and one of them was even born deified. If we are talking about power, that born deified has the highest chance of winning," Li Xue Cheng said quietly.
"In theory, that is true. But I have done my research. This Han Sen is quite famous in the universe, and he has a few amazing treasures. He even has a true god weapon like the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze. He has a high chance of winning."
After Liyu Zhen had last seen Han Sen, he had thoroughly researched Han Sen. He was now one of the few people in the Very High who knew a lot about Han Sen.
Outer Sky had a lot of resources, and the Very High didn't lack anything. They didn't want anything from the universe. If it wasn't for the fact that only highly intelligent creatures could become silkworms, the Very High wouldn't have needed to go to the universe to find silkworms.
So, the Very High didn't pay much attention to the races in the outer universe. Han Sen was just a King. Even if he was an ordinary deified, the Very High wouldn't pay much attention to him.
Liyu Zhen showed Li Xue Cheng the information he had collected, including the video of Han Sen using the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze to turn Meng Lie into a statue.
"Such a thing actually happened?"
Li Xue Cheng was shocked. After a moment of silence, he said, "If that's the case, then he has a chance to win the silkworm fight. But that's just a chance. After all, using the power of a xenogeneic treasure is still a bit weaker than a deified elite. But he can use the Shield of the Medusa's Gaze, which is a big killer weapon. His chances of winning are high."
"What if the silkworm fights don't allow the use of treasures?" Liyu Zhen suddenly asked with a smile.
"With his own power, he can't beat a deified. It's just like in the video. No matter how strong he is, he can't kill a deified star beetle. His power isn't as strong as a deified elite's, and no amount of skill can make up for it."
Li Xue Cheng paused, then went on to say, "But the silkworm fights don't have a rule that forbids the use of treasures, do they?"
"They didn't in the past, but this time is different. I have a reliable source that says the silkworm fights will forbid the use of treasures," Liyu Zhen said with confidence.
"Is it because of your …" Li Xue Cheng looked at Liyu Zhen with understanding, but he didn't finish his sentence. It was as if there was something taboo.
Liyu Zhen smiled and said, "All you need to know is that the silkworm bouts do not allow the use of xenogeneic treasures. There are only four people who know about this. If you and I don't say anything, the other two won't, either."
"But what does that have to do with us?" Li Xue Cheng still didn't understand what Liyu Zhen meant.
Liyu Zhen's voice was cold. "Have you forgotten?
Every time there is a silkworm fight, people who are so bored that they want to make a bet. If you spread this information about Han Sen, do you think people will be like us? Do you think Han Sen has a chance of winning the silkworm fight? "
"That is possible … After all, that natural-born deified silkworm is only primitive class. It is much weaker than Meng Lie. Han Sen has a very good chance of winning," Li Xue Cheng said.
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up. He finally understood what Liyu Zhen was trying to say.
"You want those people to bet on Han Sen and earn a lot of money from them?" Li Xue Cheng's eyes lit up.
"Yes. And if they lose because of Han Sen, do you think they will be nice to Han Sen?" Liyu Zhen laughed.
"That is a very cruel move. Those people have all kinds of resources. Han Sen will have to go to them. If they don't like Han Sen, it won't be easy for Han Sen to get the resources." Li Xue Cheng suddenly understood.
"Do you think just anyone can take what belongs to me, Liyu Zhen?"
Liyu Zhen laughed coldly. Then, he said to Li Xue Cheng, "The news that the silkworm fights don't allow the use of treasures will be announced soon. So, you need to move fast. You need to earn as much as you can before the news is announced."
"If you can get such a good deal, why don't you do it yourself? Why are you giving it to me?" Li Xue Cheng asked with confusion.
"With my status, if I bet that Han Sen will lose, they will be suspicious. But you are different. We can split the deal," Liyu Zhen said casually.
"You are right. With your relationship with that person, if you bet that Han Sen will lose, they will be suspicious." Li Xue Cheng laughed and said, "Okay. That's the deal, then."
Quickly, Han Sen's information spread throughout the Very High. The Very High were very interested. Only the Very High who practiced the Very High Sense didn't say anything. Many of the Very High believed that Han Sen had a chance of winning the silkworm bouts.
Li Xue Cheng took advantage of the chaos to make bets with many of the Very High.
The results were just as Liyu Zhen expected. Not long after, the leader of the Very High announced that no treasures were allowed in the silkworm bouts. Many of the Very High cursed Li Xue Cheng for being a scammer. Their impression of Han Sen worsened.
If Han Sen won the silkworm bouts, everything would be fine. If he didn't, many of the Very High would lose everything because of Han Sen. Even if this had nothing to do with Han Sen, he would still be dragged into the mess.
Han Sen didn't know about all the chaos that was going on outside. He just fished in Underworld Lake. Ten days later, he went back to the Star Tree.
But the old man under the tree was gone. Han Sen took over the job of looking after the Star Tree. After walking around, he noticed that there were no more star beetles on the tree. Clearly, the old man had cleaned up the star beetles before he left.
"The star beetles only come out once every two or three months. You don't have to stay here all the time. You just have to wait until the bugs come out and kill them," Exquisite said to Han Sen.
