Chapter 101
The odds had taken a dramatic turn. Jon, the clear favorite, now had an unimpressive 1.1 payout. In contrast, Rin's odds had skyrocketed to a jaw-dropping 12. Most people still backed Jon, chasing safe money. After all, he'd dominated earlier matches. But in the corner of the betting booth, Zumba hesitated, fingers hovering above the screen. After a few tense moments, he made a bold move—200,000 yen on Rin.
Chip followed suit, placing his own bet on his friend with a confident grin. They were taking a gamble, but something about Rin felt... different.
Inside the game booth, Rin stared at the controls with a mischievous smirk. Unlike earlier, this time he'd taken the time to study everything—every command, movement pattern, and special input. And with his natural affinity for gaming, he was ready to dominate.
