832 Bet
After Chu Nan walked out of the competition venue, a group of reporters immediately surrounded him.
Apart from the large number of reporters from the Earth Federation, there were also many media reporters from the United States of Melaita and other countries.
Chu Nan casually dealt with their questions such as “How do you feel about the end of the first competition?”, “How’s your evaluation of your opponent?”, and “Are you nervous during the competition?”
However, when a reporter asked another question, he was stunned.
“Heh, Chu Nan, do you know the bet Miss Yang Xirui made with others?”
Hearing this reporter mention Yang Xirui’s name, Chu Nan suddenly recalled that Yang Xirui was not among the reporters who rushed over to interview him.
Logically speaking, as a reporter from the Earth Federation who had interviewed him the most and was the most familiar with him, Yang Xirui should have appeared to interview him after the first round ended.
“Where’s Miss Yang?” Chu Nan asked.
The surrounding reporters looked at each other and revealed strange expressions. In particular, the reporters of the Earth Federation had awkward and ashamed expressions, causing Chu Nan to feel extremely puzzled.
“Hey, what happened? Why do you have such an expression?” Chu Nan asked.
The answer was a reporter from the United States of Melaita.
“Hmph, that Yang Xirui from your Earth Federation made a bet with us and said that you would definitely be able to enter the finals. If not, she would run around naked in public and post the video on the Milky Way Network. Now, she must feel that she has said something wrong and is hiding there to think of a way to go back on her words.”
Hearing the disdain and mockery in the tone of the reporter from the United States of Melaita, the group of reporters from the Earth Federation beside him were immediately furious. They pointed at the reporter and cursed.
There were also many reporters from the United States of Melaita, so they naturally were not to be outdone. For a moment, the two sides shouted, and the scene immediately became extremely noisy.
“Bet? Run around naked in public?” Chu Nan was shocked when he heard this. He could not care less and his figure flashed. He had already rushed to the reporter from the United States of Melaita who had replied and grabbed his collar. He pulled him closer and shouted, “Tell me clearly, what’s going on?”
The reporter from the United States of Melaita was caught by Chu Nan’s grip, but his expression was calm and fearless. He still sneered, “You should ask the people of your Earth Federation. They were beside her at that time.”
Chu Nan turned to look at the reporters of the Earth Federation. They immediately stopped cursing and had strange and awkward expressions.
After a while, one of the reporters explained, “About that… just now, our group of people quarreled at the media table. These guys from Melaita mocked our Earth Federation’s participating students. Then, Miss Yang Xirui could not stand it anymore, so she made a bet with them that you could at least enter the finals. Otherwise, even if she lost, she would run naked in public… cough, in public.”
Chu Nan frowned, “Since it’s a bet, what about the other party’s bet?”
“If you can enter the finals, they’ll lose. It’ll be their turn to run naked in public.” The reporter from the Earth Federation spread out his hands and sighed.
“Oh?” Chu Nan understood the meaning of his words, “In that case, there’s more than one person who made a bet with Miss Yang?”
“Yes, all the reporters of the United States of Melaita present made this bet with Miss Yang.”
“In other words, Miss Yang is facing many of them alone?” Chu Nan turned to look at the reporter from the United States of Melaita who was still in his hand and smiled, “This is very worth it.”
That reporter from the United States of Melaita sneered, “Although we’re at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, she’s a woman after all. We should give in to her. Heh, to be able to see a female reporter who’s quite famous in your Earth Federation running naked in public, it’s really worth interviewing this competition.”
“You think you’ll definitely win?” Chu Nan asked with a smile.
“Do you think you can enter the finals?” the United States of Melaita reporter asked.
Chu Nan leaned forward and their heads were almost touching.
“I’ve said it before. I only have one goal in participating in this competition, and that is to win the championship. Do you think I can’t enter the finals?”
The reporter from the United States of Melaita sneered, “Anyone can brag, but you want to win the championship of this competition with a kid from the Earth Federation? What a joke!”
Chu Nan smiled and shook his head. His hand shook and he threw the reporter back to his original position.
“I don’t like to talk nonsense. I’ve already said this goal twice and don’t want to repeat it a third time. However, you…” Chu Nan stretched out his finger and pointed at the faces of the reporters from the United States of Melaita, “And you… you… you can wait to run naked.”
The reporters of the United States of Melaita looked at each other. No one retorted Chu Nan’s words. Instead, they opened their personal terminals and got busy.
Clearly, just this post-match interview with Chu Nan was enough to write a very good interview.
Chu Nan turned around and saw that not only were the reporters from other countries busy, but even the reporters from the Earth Federation were also busy. He could not help but laugh.
In the end, these guys were all reporters. Compared to running naked, the news value caused by this matter was probably what they valued the most.
As for whether Yang Xirui had the same thought when she proposed this bet…
Chu Nan shook his head.
After all, Yang Xirui was a woman, and she was even a woman of Chinese descent. Running naked in public was something that required a lot of courage from her. She clearly did not propose this bet only to pursue explosive news, but the most important reason was her confidence in Chu Nan.
When he thought of this, Chu Nan looked at the group of reporters with bright eyes and raised his voice slightly, “Miss Yang is not here, but she should be able to see this interview. I’ll say it here. Miss Yang, don’t worry. As a friend, I definitely won’t let you lose this bet.”
“But what if you don’t enter the finals?” the reporter from the United States of Melaita suddenly asked loudly.
“No ifs.” Chu Nan shook his head.
“Hmph! There’s nothing impossible in this world. The students participating in this competition are the top students of the various countries and academies on the Orion Arm. There are countless hidden experts among them. Do you think your strength is unique inside?” The reporter from the United States of Melaita was unconvinced, “What if you lose?”
Chu Nan looked at him seriously and glanced at the other reporters around him. He smiled and said, “I know what you’re looking forward to. Alright, I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll satisfy your wish. Listen carefully, since Miss Yang dares to propose such a bet, as the person involved, as a member of the Earth Federation, and most importantly, as a man, I have to make the corresponding promise.”
At this point, Chu Nan paused for a moment before meeting the focused gazes of all the reporters. He smiled and continued, “If I fail to enter the finals, I’ll run naked with Miss Yang Xirui in public.”
Hearing this, after the silence, an uproar instantly sounded.
