Chapter 17 Mystery of Sorts
With one enemy and one enemy, this matter only exists in the imagination, and Zhang Hua did not expect that he would see it with his own eyes in the near future. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In order to shine in the Hundred Flowers Festival, the four major academies will summon more outstanding students in the future, presumably they will pick out the students who will compete, which is also a leader-like existence.
You come and go with each other, do your best, and the competition on the occasion of the Hundred Flowers Festival in the middle of the month will be wonderful and amazing.
However, Wenhai Academy only sent Shi Xuan to face such a scene, and Zhang Hua couldn't imagine what the situation would be like at that time.
However, Zhang Hua understands that after the Hundred Flowers Festival, the word Shi Xuan must be a household name.
"Senior brother, the reason why you came here today is really entrusted by the academy?"
Zhang Hua didn't mention the topic of Shi Xuan at this time, what kind of person Shi Xuan is, there will always be errors in the description between people.
And according to his grandfather Zhang Tianhao, he represented the Star Picking Academy to fight for painting, which is a sure thing, since Wenhai Academy only sent Shi Xuan alone, it was only a matter of time before he met him.
And just now I heard that Gao Gao Ming was so nervous about picking up stars in the academy, so Zhang Hua felt that he should go today, but at this time, Gao Ming's reply made Zhang Hua frown again
"Well, the foolish brother is indeed entrusted by the academy, but there are also unspeakable secrets of the foolish brother himself, so don't ask too much about the virtuous brother."
Gao Gao Ming's vague response at this time made Zhang Hua a little surprised, and after seeing Gao Gao Ming's embarrassed face at this time, Zhang Hua thought about it for a while, and he also asked casually
"Brother Gao, what are the odds in the gambling house?"
"One pays......"
looked at Zhang Hua in disbelief, and at this time, Gao Gao Ming also stared at him with wide eyes, with a little silence and embarrassment, but then he also smiled awkwardly
"Brother Xian, what Brother Fool admires you is really a five-body throw."
"Brother Gao praised it."
Zhang Hua also smiled helplessly, he didn't expect that his random guess would be true.
The Hundred Flowers Festival is an annual festival, and because of the competition between the four major academies, and at the same time, Wenhai Academy has such a gimmick of fighting the crowd this year, so how could the gambling house miss it?
Gao Gao Ming is a good gambler, Wang Ning said that the gambling house is his other home, today do not go to the gambling house but are commissioned by the academy to come, at the same time he has unspeakable hidden, the gambling house has a gambling game in the competition to guess, which is also very easy to guess.
"Brother Xian, since you know through it, then Brother Fool is not doing anything to hide it, this year, the gambling house has set up a handicap, and the odds of winning Shi Xuan are one to ten! The odds of betting that Shi Xuan cannot win all of them are one to three! ”
"Ten to one!"
Although Zhang Hua didn't know much about the odds, it could be seen from the numbers alone that people thought that the probability of Shi Xuan's total victory seemed to be really high.
However, although Zhang Hua does not understand the specific problem of odds, he also knows that since ancient times, it is the bookmaker who wins in gambling to the end.
Now that the gambling house dares to set the odds of Shi Xuan's total victory, can there be any secret information about the gambling house.
And Gao Gaoming, who was sitting opposite Zhang Hua, heard him talk about the odds, and suddenly Gao Gaoming was also interested, and a fine light immediately appeared in his eyes, and after Gao Gaoming rubbed his hands excitedly, he said quite excitedly
"After the gambling house set up the handicap, the people paid more attention to whether Shi Xuan could win all, and they were more concerned about whether Shi Xuan could win all, although the foolish brother didn't know what the specific truth of the wind direction was, but just in the gambling house, so far the handicap of betting on him to win has been entrenched in two thousand taels of silver!"
"Hiss"
After hearing Gao Gao Ming say two thousand taels of silver, Zhang Hua, as well as Lu Liu and Zhang Yi beside him, the three of them also gasped!
After glancing at the three of them a few times, Gao Gao Ming also continued
"Shi Xuan's odds of winning all of them are one to ten, and the odds of the virtuous brother above the painting technique are one to one."
"One to one? Why did the gambling house set a odds of one to one for the young master, don't they believe in our young master's painting skills? The green willow on the side suddenly opened his mouth, which made Zhang Hua turn his head to look at her
"Green Willow, do you also understand the odds?"
"Odds? I don't understand, Lu Liu just felt angry when he heard that the young master's odds were not as high as that Shi Xuan. ”
Zhang Hua: "........."
After smiling helplessly at the green willow, Zhang Hua also continued to Gao Gaoming
"Senior brother, you continue."
"Actually, there is nothing to say, in short, the foolish brother put two hundred taels on Shi Xuan, betting on him to lose, whether he can live a chic life in the future in the future, all this depends on the virtuous brother."
Gao Ming's sudden turn of events made Zhang Hua a little confused.
The odds of betting on a full win are one to ten, not only one to three, such a clear choice, why would Gao Ming choose the latter? Also, how does this have anything to do with yourself?
"Wait, Senior Brother, why am I a little confused by what you say?"
After Gao Gao Ming heard what Zhang Hua said, he also looked at him helplessly, and that kind of look was like saying, why don't you understand how much I said
"Brother Xian, why did the foolish brother ask you for a painting after losing in the gambling house in the past?"
"That's because our young master has superb painting skills, and every painting can be worth a lot of money!"
Green Willow said proudly, and Gao Gao Ming glanced at him appreciatively before continuing
"Midori Willow is right, Brother Xian, your painting skills are unmatched in the city, but it is a well-known thing, and the owner of the gambling house happens to appreciate your paintings, so every time he loses the essence of Brother Foolish, he asks for your paintings to compensate."
"So Brother Xian, do you know why your odds are so low?"
"I don't know," Zhang Hua said calmly
"Brother Xian's painting skills are superb, even if you bet on you, you won't win much in the end, which is one of the reasons for the low odds, and the most important reason is that this is a means used by the gambling house to confuse everyone."
"A means to confuse the crowd?"
"Yes, Shi Xuan's odds of winning all are one to ten, and the next two can get ten taels in the end, not many people can resist such a temptation.
But don't forget, brother Xian, Shi Xuan's condition for one loss of ten is to win all! Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, he must win all of them.
Let's not talk about other competitions for the time being, but just in the first aspect of painting, can he win over the virtuous brother? ”
"Poetry, songs, piano, chess books, he has won all of these, which can show that Shi Xuan may be really capable, but! As long as he loses to the virtuous brother in the painting competition, although he only loses one item, it is nothing, but as long as he loses to the virtuous brother in painting!
So far, the two thousand taels of silver entrenched above Shi Xuan's total victory will be pocketed by the gambling house! ”
"Isn't Brother Xian curious why the gambling house dares to set such high odds? That's because the gambling house believes that it is impossible for Shi Xuan to win the virtuous brother in painting! ”
"Deliberately raise the odds of Shi Xuan's total victory, but reduce the odds of the virtuous brother, so that the people are confused by the odds, forgetting that there is such a number one person as the virtuous brother in the city, and the means of the gambling house this time also make the foolish brother embarrassed!"
When Zhang Hua heard this, he also felt that the owner of the gambling house was a very bold person, but Zhang Hua only had one concern now.
Now the owner of the gambling house believes in himself so much, but if he loses to Shi Xuan in the end, what should he do?
