In the Yeyue Bar, Zhang Lin looked with interest at a few people sent by the high-level of Freedom City, where they talked about everything, in fact, Zhang Lin didn't like this, but now that the people were not there, no one was chatting, and Zhang Lin was not good at asking Li Li some questions, so he had to wait patiently.

As time went on, more and more mercenaries and businessmen came to the moonlit night bar, and the bar began to gradually become lively, those who talked loudly and loudly must be mercenaries, some businessmen looked like outbursts, and some were very gentlemanly, and finally Zhang Lin was really bored and continued to chat with Li Li!

Suddenly, everyone quieted down, a middle-aged man with a big beer belly, began to speak, and talked freely for a long time, Zhang Lin sat on the seat and took a nap, and finally the middle-aged man asked everyone to register their own battleship model, so that everyone could be grouped, announced that they would leave tomorrow, and the rest of the time was everyone's, let these mercenaries contact the following feelings, and cooperate with the battle tomorrow!

Then the bar became noisy, Zhang Lin really couldn't stand this situation, asked Li Li if he was willing to go out to chat, after getting Li Li's consent, the two of them went to register the following their own battleship together, and saw that Li Li's battleship was a heavy cruiser Zhang Lin was a little surprised, it seems that the people here are very hidden, and they need to be more careful!

After registering the battleship, Zhang Lin and Li Li walked out side by side! At the door of the Moonlit Night Bar, Zhang Lin met "Where is Mr. Zhang Lin going?" The party has just begun, why are you in such a hurry to leave? ”

Zhang Lin really doesn't like this noisy environment, "I like quiet, I don't like such a lively place, why does Mr. Reed have time to go and talk together?" ”

Obviously, Reed didn't like this environment very much, and after hearing Zhang Lin's proposal, "Okay, let's go out and talk, I have a good place to go, I'll take you there!" ”

At noon in the city of freedom, the sun was in the sky, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance, which made people quiet because of the anxiety brought by the summer heat. Reed took out a World Bank gold coin card from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Lin, who would not be polite to him, because this was originally a transaction, and there was no friendship at all!

Zhang Lin accepted the gold coin card given by Reed, and felt a little strange in his heart, "Mr. Reed, I guess there must be something else in this mission to exterminate pirates, why don't you gamble?" Zhang Lin looked into Reed's eyes and wanted to see if he was lying!

"Yes" Zhang Lin didn't expect Reed to admit it so happily, Reed sighed, "This is a tradition over the years!" When Zhang Lin heard this, he set his eyes on Li Li, and after seeing Li Li nodding, Zhang Lin also understood in his heart that this is like betting on football and horses on the earth, if there are interests, someone will do this, it is inevitable!

"Please also ask Mr. Reed to elaborate on the following, I'm curious about how to bet!" Zhang Lin is still more interested in this, and he is ready to gamble on himself!

"What, is Mr. Zhang Lin also interested?" Reed picked up the coffee, drank it all, and after seeing Zhang Lin nodding, he began to tell, "Before the extermination of pirates, there was no such tradition, about ten years ago, someone opened a money bank, set up a gambling game and began to let people gamble on ships, there are many ways to play, and there are many kinds of odds, and soon it was sought after by these idle and boring businessmen, and finally even civilians came to participate, so that everyone finally retained this as a tradition, and it has been ten years now!" ”

Zhang Lin is not surprised by this, people are difficult to refuse the stimulation and harvest of gambling, but ignore the risks inside, Zhang Lin has seen a lot of people who are bankrupt for this, but this time Zhang Lin is ready to take advantage of this to play a sum of "so many people participate, aren't you afraid that the dealer can't afford to lose?" ”

"Mr. Zhang Lin rest assured, this is the world's largest consortium joint underwriting, all funds are managed by the World Bank, there will be no problem of funds being swept away, in fact, I also participated, each businessman bet their mercenaries to win is also an unwritten rule, that is, come back alive, but after all, the odds are only 1 to 1, and there are others, such as if you are optimistic about the battleship, you can bet that it can sink a few pirate warships, this kind of odds are the highest, among which the destroyer has the highest odds, the cruiser is second, and the battleship is last, But it's just a scam, and although there are high odds, few lucky people can guess it, and most people lose a lot. Reed said this and smiled, "Don't you know that the higher the return, the greater the risk?" ”

Li Li also smiled, "I also bet that I can come back, if I can't come back, the money is useless when people die, if I come back, even if I can't get the pirate's treasure, I can make a lot of money, why not?" ”

Zhang Lin secretly decided to take this opportunity to bet on himself, "But how about the war damage of exterminating pirates every year?" This is what Zhang Lin is most concerned about.

"On average, it's one to one." After Reed finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Lin, "It's cruel!" He wanted to see something from Zhang Lin's expression, but Zhang Lin's expression did not change, his eyes were still deep, and there was no wave!

"It's cruel indeed." Zhang Lin understood at this time why there was a one-to-one battle loss, the mercenaries were at the same level, and the combat ability of a single ship was indeed stronger than that of pirates, but after capturing the pirates first, they would definitely start infighting for the sake of interests, which was undoubted, and the pirates would definitely fight to the death when it came to the moment of life and death, so that the battle damage could be one to one because the quality of the mercenaries' soldiers was better than that of the pirates, otherwise they would definitely fail.

Then the three chatted casually, Zhang Lin inquired about the strength and taboos of the Free City in a tactful way, and got the innocence he wanted, and then Zhang Lin said goodbye, he wanted to go back and prepare, the goddess of victory will only favor those who are prepared, and Zhang Lin never fights unprepared battles!

After returning to the harbor, Zhang Lin went to check on the maintenance of the Hope, which had been maintained, and the arms dealer was waiting for the Lin there. After seeing Zhang Lin passing, he greeted Zhang Lin warmly: "Mr. Zhang Lin, according to the agreement, the maintenance of your warship has been completed, you can check it out." ”

Zhang Lin shook his head, and according to the agreement, handed over the remaining money to the arms dealer and sent him away, and then Zhang Lin called Delin, who had been keeping an eye on the maintenance of the Hope here, "Tomorrow morning at six o'clock, all the personnel will gather at the dock, and our first fund is here!" ”

After Delin got the order, he began to gather the sailors on the Hope, and Zhang Lin went to the World Bank to bet, when the bank's service staff heard that Zhang Lin was surprised that the Hope could come back alive and bet five million gold coins, the Hope was just a destroyer, he didn't understand why this gentleman wanted to bet on a battleship that was so easy to be damaged in battle to come back alive, but she also said that according to Zhang Lin's request to bet on the Hope, after doing these Zhang Lin was still a little melancholy in his heart, although the money was a lot, But it is not enough to develop a high-tech fleet, let alone establish a country, but Zhang Lin will not be depressed by this, it is man-made!
