Chapter Forty-Six: The Little Boy Who Sells Lighters
As night fell, the second day of the knockout round ended, and the spectators and participating teams dispersed and went back to their accommodations to rest.
"Damn, this time it's a big loss! I knew that I should have smashed the pot and sold iron, and bet all my belongings!" Out of the betting point, Xiao Shouzi simply regretted his intestines and said depressedly.
Yesterday, he led Bai Shuzhen and several members of the reserve team to place bets, at that time, with his understanding of his own team, if he wants to defeat the Martian team, the probability is almost slim, in the case of the enemy is strong and I am weak, of course, I can't bet too much, otherwise, nine times out of ten, it will be both a loss to the wife and a soldier. Therefore, when everyone else placed a heavy bet, he chose to remain silent, and only he placed the least, only 5,000 gold coins. In fact, five thousand gold coins have multiplied tenfold, which is not less. Although the bettor collected some taxes, there were still more than 40,000 in his hands. As for his depression, it is naturally greedy.
"Hehe, Brother Xiao, didn't you say anything about big gambling yesterday that hurt your body, and small gambling pleasure! "Cypress tree Zhen playfully said.
"That's right, captain, you can be content! Although a few of us have a little more bonuses than you, but the taxes and fees we have been collected by the betting side are also much more than yours! Especially Brother Shuzhen, who was charged more than 230 million gold coins in taxes at once! That's more than 230 million gold coins, most people can't earn so much money in their lifetime, this bettor of the Beishui Empire can't be said to be black!" A young man in the reserve team sighed.
"Damn, the more taxes you pay, it means that you get more, especially, this kid Shuzhen, after paying taxes, there are still more than 460 million gold coins left! Not to mention that the rich rival the country, that is also, worthy of the name, the waist is full of thousands of dollars!" Xiao Shouzi looked at Bai Shuzhen, and said with a sad and angry face at the young man.
"How can there be so many!"
After a slight pause, Bai Shuzhen continued: It's just over 300 million.
"I'll go, is that a little more! More than 300 million is a net profit, isn't your crystal nucleus worth more than 70 million gold coins also returned to its original owner!" Xiao Shouzi said speechlessly.
"Hehe, okay, Brother Xiao, you don't have to look at a few of us, before the next game starts, you can bet more. Bai Shuzhen smiled.
"Oh, Captain. The opportunity to win money should be grasped by yourself, and someone else's is someone else's after all. Xiao Yu of the reserve team grinned.
Her mood at the moment is obviously much happier than Xiao Shouzi, this time she made a bet, she removed the principal, and taxes, and made a net profit of more than 100,000 gold coins. Although it is not as much as a fraction of the cypress tree, it is only a lot more than the others.
"Hey, let's talk about it, you guys have won so many gold coins today, you have to treat me to a big meal no matter what!" Xiao Shouzi sighed and looked at Bai Shuzhen with bad intentions.
"No problem, I'll please, take care of it, go wherever you want. Bai Shuzhen smiled.
"That's what you said!" Xiao Shouzi didn't wait for the others to speak, and hurriedly said.
"Well, I don't believe what I said, you can still bankrupt me!" said Bai Shuzhen.
"That's right, Captain, Brother Shuzhen won so many gold coins, and I'm afraid that you will have a meal! A meal can cost a few dollars. Among the several members of the reserve team, one of the younger girls said.
Xiao Shouzi didn't answer her words, but directly took a few of them to a big hotel, and when they came out after eating, they knew how terrifying Xiao Shouzi's food was.
"I'm grass, don't you want to be so ruthless, fry me more than 200,000 gold coins for one meal! If you eat braised noodles at Xu Laosan's braised noodle restaurant, more than 200,000 yuan, enough for the people of the whole city to eat!" Out of the hotel, Bai Shuzhen said with a depressed face.
Several other people also cast sympathetic glances at Bai Shuzhen. This meal, that is, cypress tree, in exchange for them to pay the bill, I am afraid that bankruptcy will not be enough.
"Oh, this amount of money is not a drop in the bucket for you! With today's standards, if you eat ten or eight meals, for a month or half a year, you can still go bankrupt. Xiao Shouzi picked his teeth with a toothpick and said to Bai Shuzhen.
"This ..................!" Bai Shuzhen choked and shook his head helplessly.
"Hey............ , all come and see, all come and see, the baby here is very trendy, all come and see, all come and see, the good things bought here, can be ignited, can be illuminated, can be bought in a different place, can be illuminated, can be ignited, and the famous manufacturer is me!"
A few people had just walked out of the hotel when they were caught by a shout.
I saw that not far away, a little boy was sitting on a rocking chair with a good material. Next to the rocking chair, there was a square object that I don't know what it was, and the shouting sound was made by it.
Bai Shuzhen and Xiao Shouzi, driven by curiosity, walked towards the place where the little boy was.
"Hey, little friend, what are you shouting in this black box, which can still light a fire and light up?" As soon as a few people stopped, Xiao Shouzi asked the little boy.
"Who do you call a child! My brother is almost twenty years old this year. The little boy was dissatisfied and said to Xiao Shouzi.
Although he doesn't look very old, the voice he makes is indeed the voice that an adult should have.
"I'm sorry, brother, forgive me for my gaffes!" Facing the question of a young boy who was not tall, three and a half feet, not young, and twenty years old, Xiao Shouzi knew that he was at a loss and said apologetically.
"Well, for the sake of your attitude, forgive me. "Pocket boy, with the presence of an old god.
During the conversation between Xiao Shouzi and the pocket boy, Bai Shuzhen was not idle, and the spiritual detection swept over the pocket boy, and the pocket boy naturally couldn't find Bai Shuzhen's spiritual detection. However, his cultivation has already appeared in Bai Shuzhen's perception, level thirty-eight, a master of the fire system.
Although his magic cultivation is only level thirty-eight, but, on his body, Bai Shuzhen also detected an ability that is much stronger than his magic cultivation, as for what ability, Bai Shuzhen doesn't know, but vaguely feels that it is a little familiar, but for a while, he can't remember it.
Although Bai Shuzhen couldn't be sure what the other ability of the pocket boy was for a while, it was certain that among the few people present, except for himself, no one was the opponent of the pocket boy in front of him.
"Well, the little brother is really generous, I don't know what the little brother shouts in the black box can both light fire and illuminate. Xiao Shouzi said with a smile on his face.
"What little brother, in addition to height, where is the small! You are also polite, my surname is Qin, and I am the seventh oldest in the family, so you can call me Qin Qi directly." The object I shouted in this loudspeaker is an exclusively made treasure called "Fire Machine". The price is 16,980 gold coins. "Pocket boy, Qin Qidao.
"Turkey, what kind of chicken is a turkey, who of you knows!" Xiao Shouzi asked the others suspiciously after listening to Qin Qi's introduction.
"I've only heard of roosters, hens, pheasants, chicks, rookies, woodcocks, and stupid chickens. As for this turkey, it's the first time I've heard of it, so I want to ask, is this so-called turkey male or female, can it lay eggs, is it golden eggs, or is it diamond-studded, what row of noodles, one dares to ask for 16,908!"
