I Am A Prodigy Chapter 243
Advertisement
Silence took over!
Compared to Miyako's splitting of a single die, Ye Lingchen's situation could be considered a miracle, one that blew everyone's mind.
Miyako...lost.
"G-g-grandmaster Ye won?" Lu Hao muttered to himself, as though he were dreaming and trapped in a daze.
His voice snapped many of them back to their senses. In an instant, the hall went into an uproar!
"Is that for real? Or are my eyes playing tricks on me?"
"Illusion. This must be an illusion!"
"Ah! My eyes! My 24K titanium alloy dog eyes are blind!
"This is just like a fantasy. It's so unbelievable, even a novel wouldn't write it this way!"
Waves of cheers followed. In an instant, it washed through the venue like a tsunami.
"How did you do it?"
Miyako's face lost all color in an instant. She stared at Ye Lingchen in a dazed state as she asked the question.
"Is that something you should ask? Call me master first." Ye Lingchen said to Miyako with a smile.
"You're crossing the line!" Miyako's eyes narrowed, glaring at Ye Lingchen as she bellowed while gripping her fists tightly.
"What now? You're going back on your words?" Ye Lingchen pursed his lips. "Or could it be that you forgot our bet?"
Towards people from the Sun Nation, he felt no guilt at all. Furthermore, they tried to lay their hands on China's land. He wanted to let them fail and pay accordingly!
An extremely bitter struggle played out on Miyako's face. A bet is a bet. That was the core of her principles as a gambler.
She studied the art of gambling from a young age. From the most basic of the rules of gambling, she had strictly followed every one of them. She had made a name for herself and must defend her honor at all costs!

"M-m-master." Miyako squeezed the word out through her gritted teeth.
She actually called him master.
Thousands of expressions of shock soared through the hearts of the people around them. The scene was just too impactful and scary.
Miyako was the disciple of the Gambling King, yet at that moment, she became someone's...maid?!
If not for them witnessing it in person, they would not even dare dream about it!
"Not bad!"
Ye Lingchen nodded satisfyingly. "Since you're now my maid, then you should get rid of that kimono. It looks funny. Go get changed."
Soon, Ye Lingchen had specifically picked out a cheongsam for Miyako.
"As expected. When it comes to clothing, China is more stylish. Your kimono is too complicated," Ye Lingchen dissed. His gaze made Miyako extremely uneasy, causing hatred to grow in her heart.
"Grandmaster Ye, these are the chips you won, totaling at RMB465,000,000," Lu Hao said with a smile as he passed Ye Lingchen an atm card from which he cashed out all the chips.
"There's only 400 million?" Ye Lingchen's brows twitched. It would seem that another 65 million was swiped away by the casino. What a waste!
This gambling competition ended a lot faster than previous years, but the excitement and its consequences were sufficient to send chills down many spines.
Up until Ye Lingchen and company left the scene, the discussions about them never stopped. Everyone could not help but remember Ye Lingchen, the mysterious young man, and engraved that memory deep within their hearts.
Some even prophesied that he would eventually become the Gambling King!
Meanwhile, Ye Lingchen had long boarded the plane that the Lu family had prepared. Along the way, Miyako's expression was not pleasant. It was as ugly as it could be.

"Hey, what's the expression for?" Ye Lingchen suddenly looked towards Miyako. "Smile for me!"
Miyako's eyes were filled with shame. Glaring hatefully at Ye Lingchen, she forced out a smile.
"Now that's better." Ye Lingchen sat down in a relaxed manner. He then patted the seat beside him, indicating for Miyako to sit over there.
Right then, an air stewardess brought some fruits over. Originally personal attendants served him by his side, but they were dismissed by Ye Lingchen. He instead had Miyako peel the grapes for him.
"Know your limits!" Miyako finally could not hold it back any longer, her face flushed with anger.
"A maid should behave like a maid. Is that the proper tone to talk to me?" Ye Lingchen snorted. "Remember, when you speak with me, you need to add the word "master"!"
Miyako stopped breathing for a moment, shaking in rage, yet she kept mum and quietly peeled the grapes for Ye Lingchen.
Nearby, Lu Hao and Lu Tianxiong were in their seats, sweating bullets as their hearts raced.
Grandmaster Ye's bravery is truly unrivaled, a model for our generation.
Miyako's status was rather special. At first, everyone thought that Ye Lingchen was only joking and would let Miyako go after the incident to gain some favor. Who would have expected him to really treat Miyako as his maid!
It was no longer sufficient to describe it as fearless.
Regardless, they dared not say nor ask anything.
After all, be it Grandmaster Ye or Miyako, both were not someone they could afford to cross.
At the same time, more and more discussions of Huo Yuanjia appeared online. They were beginning to sing a different tune. Furthermore, this time around, news spread quickly.
[This movie is amazing. I can guarantee with my honor that it is a masterpiece!]
[I agree with the previous post. It's unthinkable for an amazing movie to have such a low rating. What's wrong with this world?]
[OMGWTFBBQ! If not because of Y, I would have lost my chance to watch such an amazing movie. That's it, I'm going to watch a second round!]
[Sob sob sob. This movie made me cry towards the end. It's passionate, moving, and romantic. Most importantly, there're Chinese Kungfu and nationalism!]
[Huo Yuanjia...is that a real historical character? I'm proud that China had such an amazing person!]
…
Those reviews had all popped up out of nowhere since the previous night. Furthermore, it was like an unstoppable wave. Apart from the spammers, all those who watched the movie gave it good reviews!
At first, a lot of them were merely giving face to Y and watched it for the Chinese Kungfu. Some were even watching it out of curiosity. After all, Huo Yuanjia's review scores were really low from the beginning. However, they did not expect to be met with such a huge surprise!
It was great!
Amazing!
The entire movie had no wasted moments throughout. The plot was constantly moving forward. Chinese Kungfu was also present from the beginning to the end, keeping the viewers immersed in the story.
Little Ge was a movie blogger. Normally, he would share his thoughts on a movie on Weibo and recommend some excellent movie titles. Romance, stress relief, anti-Sun Nation, or some classic inspirational film.
Nonetheless, on that day, he went into deep thought after exiting the cinema. He then came up with a special topic titled—Thoughts on Huo Yuanjia!

To help, she decided to get him one of the most sought after devices on the planet, A headset for the Ineffable Gaming System and its revolutionary game Rosengard Worldwide. The most advanced virtual reality video game and the only one with a near-perfect total immersion system, McKenna hoped that the activity in the game could help him overcome his boredom for the foreseeable future.

Now these players and anyone who harbors them are on his list. There will be no compromise, no remorse, and No Absolution to any who betrays Colin Drummond, The DevilWalker. * * * * * * * * * * This story is a LitRPG Action/Adventure story that will feature levels, skills, abilities, monsters, douchebag players, exciting and cool equipment with so much more. I have so much planned for this that it should be fun and entertaining for readers who enjoy the LitRPG genre as much as I do. Please join me as I recount the tale of a man who becomes a legend — both in-game and out of it. I plan to attempt a weekly update schedule. Upload Sunday evening(for me). Warning! This story will involve some amount of cussing to help add some realism and some insinuated sex that will fade to black the moment the fun begins. I am hoping to mostly keep this Rated PG-13 with maybe a few Chapters going rated-R due to language.

Magitech Awakenings
In this world of Terrapia, myth states that Dragons are caretakers of the chaos wheel, a band of energy that encircles the world, penetrating through the very fabric of the dimension. They tame and convert it, not only to fuel their primal magic, but also to gentler forms that man and beast alike can tap. But now they have faded away, being sighted less and less the past couple millennia. With magic weakening, science has taken root and in many cases merged in a symbiosis with magic. Guppy Bright, a 17 year old young woman, is a technomancer apprentice living in the bustling city of Nolusburg trying to make ends meet. Apprenticed to the enigmatic and somewhat crazy Technomancer Friedrich BrassTuner, she participates in an experiment meant to tap a new rich source of energy. However something goes horribly wrong and a rip in the very fabric of reality opens in the workshop, sucking in her mentor and ejecting a dying white dragon. The dragon, after examining her, takes a gamble and entwines their souls, an act that causes the dragon, Barthurthalomalew Dresnarian Kratomanger Harrowhew Objuslorow, the 5th, aka Batty, to regress into a baby dragon, sealing much of his powers and memories in the process. This act also has profound effects on Guppy, her own magic is now crazily changed in ways no one, least of all her, understands. Guppy is suddenly plunged into a world of mystery, intrigue and politics, where everyone either wants to control, or eliminate her. Armed with little but her courage and unpredictable newfound magic how will she survive and protect herself and those she loves when everyone from techno radicals, magic purists, politicians and guttersnipes are out to get her. And those may be the least of her problems if Batty's fragmented memories are any indicator.
