Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Betting Agreement (Seeking More Reads)
Translator: 549690339
David Jones furrowed his eyebrows, then shook his head helplessly, the hesitation in his eyes gradually dissipating.
He had to admit that for a moment, he really wanted to cling to the wealthy woman in front of him and embark on the peak of his Trainer career.
However, David still remembered his original dream.
He wanted to travel with Rainbow, meet more cute and interesting friends, and do exciting things together, instead of being confined to this small Waterland City.
Even if David believed that he could enter the King-level door before the age of thirty, he still didn’t want to bet on that slim probability of failure.
David looked straight into the mature lady’s eyes and said with a smile, “It’s a very tempting proposal, but it seems that I am the only beneficiary of this investment, and you bear all the risks. Aren’t you afraid of losing everything?”
“It’s like painting, ten days for water, five days for rocks. I believe in my judgment. As for whether there will be losses, time will prove the answer, won’t it?”
Rosalind Louise smiled confidently, her calm tone conveying undeniable certainty.
Upon hearing her words, David was momentarily stunned. Being so steadfastly affirmed made him feel touched, perhaps this was Rosalind’s charm.
After the surprise, a special idea suddenly emerged in his mind.
“Rosalind, I’m really sorry,” David said earnestly.
“What?!!!”
Melody Guan’s heart jumped, and she gasped in shock. At this moment, her breathing became rapid as she stared at David in disbelief, hardly believing that he could actually refuse CEO Louise’s recruitment.
If David had accepted the Louise family’s sponsorship, perhaps he wouldn’t have been able to break through and become a King-level Trainer within the specified time, but there was still a good chance of becoming a Master-level existence.
Such a presence was extremely rare in Waterland City!
It seemed like some people were destined to be unlucky. If their positions were reversed, she would have wished that the investment target was herself.
Rosalind Louise’s brows furrowed slightly, “Is it the resources that are lacking in the investment? Besides Star coins, I can add some Pet Resources.”
“No, it’s not a resource problem. I just prefer to be free and don’t want to join a family power.”
“How can joining a family power not be free? You just need to complete the corresponding tasks assigned by the family, similar to your current part-time job.” Her tone was somewhat puzzled.
David was silent for a while, considering that this rare opportunity might be worth a try.
He asked, “Rosalind, can I become your disciple?”
After the last interview, David had specifically searched for all the information about Ragdoll Mall.
The Louise family was a famous Trainer family in Waterland City, a shareholder of Ragdoll Mall, but detailed member information was not available.
However, traces of Rosalind Louise’s information could be found online.
She had won several honors, including the championship of the Waterland City Pharmacy Conference and the runner-up of the Sunbeam Province Pharmacy Conference.
David thought that to achieve the runner-up in the Sunbeam Province Pharmacy Conference, Rosalind Louise must be at least a Senior Pharmacist.
And the minimum requirement to become a Senior Pharmacist is to be able to independently refine Class V elixirs.
As far as David knew, even the president of the Waterland City Pharmacist Guild was just a Senior Pharmacist.
Moreover, in terms of cultivation resources, Class V elixirs were much more precious than Level V Pet Resources.
“Disciple?”
Rosalind Louise furrowed her brows slightly, her fair face showing a rare surprise. She seemed to fall into deep thought, mumbling to herself.
“Is it okay?” David asked tentatively.
Rosalind Louise then smiled and looked at David’s eyes, “Of course, …no! I am not planning to accept disciples at the moment.”
Rosalind Louise, “I thought you were an honest child, but I didn’t expect you to try to be sly with me!”
Upon hearing her words, David’s face turned from expectation to disappointment, and he let out a light cough to cover up the embarrassment.
Seeing David’s mood change from sunny to cloudy, Rosalind Louise smiled sweetly, “How about we both compromise and make a bet?”
“What bet?”
“In three months, our mall will host the Ragdoll Cup. If you can win the championship, I will accept you as a disciple. If you can’t, just honestly accept the family’s investment.”
Upon hearing her words, David was immediately tempted. The Ragdoll Cup was a small competition open only to primary-level Trainers.
The championship prize was the qualification to purchase a Titanium Ragdoll and a discount on purchasing it. Of course, you can also choose to cash it out.
The second and third places were awarded 100,000 and 50,000 Star coins respectively.
Most of the participating primary-level Trainers used Fresh-class Pets, and only a small number of them used Class I Pets or higher.
Thinking about this, David breathed a sigh of relief. If he couldn’t even win in the small Ragdoll Cup, then he deserved to give up.
So, he said confidently, “Of course, I will take the bet!”
“Alright, a deal is a deal.”
Rosalind Louise smiled, the little sly one was still too young!
“CEO Louise, do you really want to accept David as a disciple?”
Looking at David’s departing figure, Melody Guan couldn’t help but ask.
“How could that be possible? My personality is not suitable for teaching students!” Rosalind Louise looked at the sky outside the window, and her tone was very cheerful.
Seemingly sensing the puzzlement in her assistant’s heart, she laughed and said, “There can only be one champion in this Ragdoll competition.”
“An adult lower-level Class II Superior Pet can completely crush any Class I Pet or below. The probability of him winning is almost zero.”
Melody Guan swallowed, blinked in doubt, and hesitated incredulously, “But the Ragdoll Cup only allows Primary Trainers to participate, and the Pet must be under one-year-old. How could there be a Trainer with Class II Superior Pets?”
“Who says that Primary Trainers can’t have Class II Pets? For some talented geniuses, rules are meant to be broken.”
“Just a short three months. If he can defeat that little one, it wouldn’t hurt to take such a genius as a student.”
With narrowed eyes, Rosalind Louise slowly exhaled, then turned to look at Melody Guan, her gaze full of expectation for David Jones.
Today, only a little over an hour was spent on identifying, and David was ready to leave work honorably. The part-time identifying job was really easy.
The only pity was: today he was turned down by Rosalind, so he couldn’t become a disciple successfully, otherwise, he would have soared.
Sitting on the bus to the Trainer Guild, with his left hand stroking Rainbow who was wrapped around his wrist, David thought regretfully.
But it’s okay, there’s still a chance to strive for.
As a local of Waterland City, David watched the Ragdoll Cup several times. The strongest one he saw only had a Class II Pet and won as a Trainer.
If daily cultivation is considered accumulating potential for Pets, then battle is the fastest way to develop their potential,
David planned to take Rainbow to the Trainer Guild and see if they could find a rival of equal strength.
He was determined to win the Ragdoll Cup!
