Chapter 47: The Gambling Fight (1)
Those who watch can place bets in the gambling place specially set up in the cultivation hall and feel the excitement of gamblers.
This is very attractive, especially for those who are very gambling, and generally will be trapped without regrets.
Because I'm a newcomer, my odds are so high that they are 10 to 1.
This was Li Xin's special arrangement, and he also wanted to attract people to bet on me and increase the income of the cultivation hall.
And the opponent that Li Xin arranged for me is a veteran here, and almost all those who like gambling know him, and the tuba is called Requiem.
Requiem's odds are so low that they lose a little bit of one, and the bettors almost don't make much money, but it also shows that Requiem is very famous here and has a high winning rate.
I also got to know this man named Requiem, who is eighteen years old and an adult.
Requiem is also a fifth-level martial artist realm, and he has been participating in gambling in the arena in this cultivation hall all year round, almost making a living from it.
He has participated in more than 1,000 gambling battles, and he has always won more and lost less, has rich experience, and has strong combat power, which is a very strong opponent.
People are optimistic about Requiem, but they take a very conservative view of me.
The number of people who bet on my victory is only one percent of all the people who participate in this gambling battle, almost none.
For this reason, Li Xin was very calm, and said to his subordinates: "As long as someone bets, accept it, don't worry about anything." ”
I didn't pay much attention to that, and I practiced alone in my room, waiting for the time for the gambling to come.
According to the agreement, eight o'clock tonight is the time for me and Requiem to gamble.
When the time comes, we'll have a fair fight in the arena and bring some joy and money to everyone.
I really don't care about who wins or loses the bet between me and Requiem.
I won better, and it was off to a good start that everyone wanted to see.
It doesn't matter if I lose, at least I'll learn some combat experience, which is not something money can buy, it's more precious.
So whether I win or lose, I'm a winner, so what else do I care about?
It was soon eight o'clock in the evening, and I was already ready, just waiting for the time to come.
Before that, Li Xin had already brought me a set of clothes with electric snakes that I had seen before, and asked me to change into them.
I now know that this kind of clothing is a protective clothing, which has a certain protective function for the warriors.
The protective suit that Li Xin gave me is very common, mainly to protect my vital parts and prevent accidents in the process of gambling.
Even so, it was much better than the protective clothing that my cousin Jin Nan wore for village-level cadres.
At the very least, under the full force of a fifth-level martial artist, my suit can ensure that my vital parts will not be harmed.
And my cousin Jin Nan's protective suit, if a fifth-level martial artist attacks with all his might, I'm afraid that it will be completely destroyed with one move.
Only now do I realize that I have slowly become accustomed to the way of life in the new world, and I have some opinions about the practices of my arrogant cousin Jin Nan.
I even wonder if I appeared in front of Jin Nan now, would he be so surprised that his jaw would fall to the ground.
Under the leadership of Li Xin, Zhou Xiaoying and I came to the outside of the arena and waited for the host in the arena to introduce me.
Gambling is also an opportunity to increase your popularity, and as long as your performance is eye-catching, people will remember you.
However, if you are knocked to the ground and lose your combat effectiveness as soon as you make a move, people will remember you even more.
Because you may have made them lose a lot of money in case they can bet on your opponent in the next fight in which you are involved.
The host is a very beautiful sister, she looks like she is twenty-four or five years old, she looks like she is all over the country, and even I am ten years old.
The spectators around the arena cheered and screamed at the host with enthusiasm, and they came to participate in the gambling fight, perhaps partly because they came to see the host.
Li Xin is a businessman, and he is very good at doing business, so such a beautiful woman's management method will naturally not be ignored by him.
"Do you know who she is?" Li Xin suddenly smiled beside me and said: "She is my fiancée, her name is Zhu Tianjiao, hehe......"
I was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Uncle Li's vision is so high......"
Li Xin touched his mouth and said with a wry smile: "It's a pity that no matter how much I persuade her, even coercion and temptation, she refuses to marry me." ”
I was stunned again and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Li Xin smiled bitterly: "She is now the most powerful martial artist in our cultivation hall, a sixth-level martial general. I am only a third-level general, she said that I am not her opponent, and said that unless I exceed her realm, if I dare to marry her, she will beat me into a pig's head. ”
I couldn't help but laugh out loud: "That's the case, then Uncle Li, you have to work harder, don't patronize to make money, and practice more when you have time...... Don't be looked down upon by such a beautiful fiancée, you can't hold your head up for the rest of your life. ”
I don't know how I could say such a thing, but Li Xin's face immediately changed, and it became very strange, like laughing and crying.
When I was secretly strange, I heard Zhu Tianjiao call my name.
I was a little nervous, after all, it was the first time to participate in such a gambling fight, and I was not familiar with the rules, so it was strange not to be nervous.
Li Xin cheered me up, told me not to be scared and nervous, and told me to hurry into the arena and prepare for the next battle.
I walked into the arena and there were still a few people cheering for me, even though they were few in number, and some were purely applauding.
Some of them may have bet on me, but certainly not much, so their cheers may have been to see that I was a child, just rejoicing that they had wisely chosen to bet more on my opponent.
I walked into the arena and stood one meter next to Zhu Tianjiao, waiting for Zhu Tianjiao to continue to call for my opponent to requiem.
Zhu Tianjiao looked at me, with a smile like a flower, and listened to her say: "This is Dongfang Hongfeng, today's gambling player." Dongfang Hongfeng is participating in our gambling fight for the first time, but his strength is very strong. Don't look at him, he is only ten years old, but he has already reached the realm of a fifth-level martial artist. He is a genius that we have not met in a hundred years in Mirror God City, everyone remember him, cheer for him, and cheer for him!"
Zhu Tianjiao's voice is very good, crisp and pleasant, and touching.
