Chapter 1686 Swaying The Fights In His Favor

Lin Mu knew if he was always betting and winning, it might get suspicious after a while.

After all, he intended to get the highest possible profits from it. And something like that was only possible when the winners were the underdogs.

For example, if it was a battle between a second tribulation stage immortal and a third tribulation stage immortal, if the people bet on the second tribulation stage immortal, who then won, the winnings they will obtain will be a lot higher than if the third tribulation stage immortal won.

This was just the simple logic of odds in betting, whether it be on fights or something else.

Thus Lin Muʼs plan was to observe those who had a lower chance of winning and make sure they were winning by the use of the Nine Diving Heart Sutras. Of course, there was no guarantee if it would work or not.

After all, there was always a chance that the fight would go in a different way than Lin Mu had intended.

ʼStill, I should be able to alter it in my favor.ʼ Lin Mu thought about how he could do it optimally.

Several thoughts went through his mind as he started to plan it.

ʼIʼll have to look for matches in different rings. If the stunning wins only happen in my own ring, suspicions will certainly rise. Even if the elders of the temple donʼt interfere, the nobles and people betting certainly will.

I need to keep the wins distributed so that it just looks like the wins are black horses.ʼ Lin Mu pondered deeply.

The next thing he needed to do was to have detailed information about the contestants after their initial few wins. The bets would only start after the initial qualifying rounds were finished.

This time was taken so that the people could observe and assess their contestants. It also allowed them to analyze the contestants and guess how well they could fare against others in the future.

ʼI canʼt bet it all myself either. It will certainly be suspicious if Iʼm the one always winning. Not to mention, I wonʼt be able to bet in the other fights if it involves me leaving the ring.ʼ Lin Mu thought next.

As long as Lin Mu was fighting and had a fight scheduled, leaving the ring to go somewhere else could get problematic. Especially since he couldnʼt fly and the crowd was massive. He didnʼt wish for some misfortune to delay him.

ʼIʼll need someone else to bet on my behalf, and it canʼt just be one person. There will have to be at least a couple of them.ʼ Lin Mu reckoned.

Thankfully Lin Mu already had a few people in his mind. The first person was none other than an acquaintance who had been recently defeated.

ʼLuo Liqin might be up for help, as long as he is healed. If heʼs still unwell, I can help him get better soon.ʼ Lin Mu had plenty of healing pills in his storage and giving a few would barely affect him.

Especially when heʼll be making several times in value.

Lin Muʼs plan was to make use of the acquaintances he had made to make bets. After all, if there were several people doing it, the suspicion would be low. Not to mention, it would prevent any interruption in the fights, as there would at least be one person that was free.

It would allow them to continue to bet even if most of them were in a fight. Other than Luo Liqin of course who was now out of the competition. Even if Lin Mu could pity the man, there wasnʼt much he could do there.

Luo Liqin was simply unfortunate to have gotten a match with Yao Changying this early one.

Even if they had the mission of defeating her, it didnʼt seem it would be possible that easily. At the very least, Lin Mu had doubts about whether the others even had the means to do so.

”Wait a second… Perhaps that can be done too…” Another thought presented to Lin Mu.

They had been given the mission by Princess Shan to get rid of Yao Changying. By normal means, it was almost impossible, especially since her cultivation base was also high and they would be under the scrutiny of the temple elders.

Even the item they had been given to weaken Yao Changying wouldnʼt be enough if they couldnʼt even touch her in a fight. Perhaps only Lin Mu had the capability of going against her openly.

ʼBut if I can make use of the Sutras… It might just be possible.ʼ Lin Mu thought about the scenarios that might be viable.

But the more he thought, the more he realized the control that was needed for the sutras.
