Chapter 10: The High Fighter
"Oh, damn it, you give me a tap, this vase, even if you can live for another hundred years, you can't afford to pay for it!" Old Jack's voice sounded full of anger at the moment, standing in the villa of the fighter camp, directing a group of hired workers to move the valuable luxury goods in the villa out one by one.
Occasionally, a worker accidentally touches it, which leads to a series of almost harsh complaints, and the sound of chickens and dogs jumping can be heard from time to time throughout the villa.
Zhuo Ao reluctantly put down the brief history of the continent in his hand, knocked on the table with one intact hand and said: "I said Old Jack, can I trouble you to be quiet, those unnecessary things, just leave them to the other fighters." ”
"Oh my God, dear Zhuo Ao, your injuries are not healed yet, although the priest said that it will be fine, but during this time, you should also pay attention to rest, or I will have someone send you to our villa, I have already purchased a good villa outside, I believe you will be satisfied." Old Jack turned his head, and the expression on his face that was almost harsh just now suddenly changed to a smiling face, and his whole face was wrinkled together like a chrysanthemum.
"Wait, you're talking about us?" Zhuo Ao interrupted Old Jack's chatter: "You won't tell me that after you go out, you will live with me, right?" ”
"Yes, but don't worry, it's a small castle with plenty of room for us." Old Jack nodded as a matter of course.
"Listen, I didn't mean that, I mean, why should I live in the same villa as you?" A few green tendons popped out of Zhuo Ao's forehead, jumping suddenly.
"Oh, dear Zhuo, you can't do this, you know, in order to find a villa that meets your conditions, I have spent all the money I have saved for many years, and now, I have lost my family, if even you give up on me, then I will definitely live on the streets, I think, you must need a competent housekeeper, don't you, I can do such a job, please believe me." Old Jack came to Zhuo Ao's side and said with a pitiful face.
"Ha, it's the funniest joke I've heard this year." Zhuo Ao said unmoved.
Half a month has passed since that challenge, and although in the end, Zhuo Ao won, but it has also paid a lot of price, even if the best priest was treated at that time and left no dark injuries, but even so, it will take at least three months to fully recover.
"130,000 gold coins, I'm curious, what kind of villa can't be bought in this city?" Zhuo Ao shook his head, in that battle, he dragged all the gold coins he had obtained before to old Jack on himself, 150,000 gold coins, after deducting the taxes necessary to give the Colosseum, there are 135,000 gold coins, in terms of purchasing power, a gold coin is already equivalent to the purchasing power of 1,000 yuan in the previous life, 130,000 gold coins, equivalent to the purchasing power of hundreds of millions of yuan, even if it is the housing price of the national capital in the previous life, so much money is enough to buy a mansion.
Looking at Old Jack with an embarrassed face, Zhuo Ao looked at him seriously and said: "Listen, Old Jack, outside the Colosseum, I hope to be able to relax, I have a normal orientation, I hope that my butler is a beautiful and sexy girl, not an old man with a wrinkled face, forgive me for being so direct, but I hope that you can be considerate of a normal man's feelings." ”
"No, dear Zhuo Ao, you can't be so ruthless, I will promise to appear in front of you as little as possible, but you must know that I need to get communication between you and the Colosseum, I have many connections here, and I can solve many things for you that you find very troublesome, I can find you a beautiful and sexy girl to be your butler, but you must know that women are not the whole of a man, you are now out of slavery and a normal citizen, I think you should start planning for your future, Instead of living a drunken life, you know? Old Jack said seriously and seriously.
"But I don't know, what does this have to do with you living in my villa?" Li Xuan reluctantly admitted Old Jack's remarks, for the understanding of the world, he is still in a rookie state, he really needs such an old fritter to help him deal with some trivial things, looked at Old Jack and said: "If my guess is right, you got at least three times as much as me in that gambling game, didn't you?" You can totally buy a villa of the same for yourself and live next door to me. ”
"This ......" Old Jack smiled awkwardly, his fat body made a funny gesture and looked at Zhuo Ao flatteringly, "Dear Zhuo Ao, you must not imagine how magnificent your villa is......"
"Getting to the point." Zhuo Ao's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Old Jack and said: "I think that trust is the strongest bridge to maintain friendship, since you can't have absolute trust in me, then, I can only consider changing investors, you must be clear, now as a senior fighter, I have the right to choose investors worthy of my trust." ”
"Oh~" Old Jack hurriedly said: "Dear Zhuo Ao, you should believe in my credibility and noble personality as an investor, I can swear to the God of Light......"
"Alright." Waving his hand, Zhuo Ao looked at the sneering old Jack and said, "Let me guess, you didn't put all the bets on me at the beginning, so the benefits of this game are not as optimistic as imagined, right?" ”
When Old Jack heard this, he showed a stunning expression on his face, looked at Zhuo Ao and said, "Dear Zhuo Ao, your wisdom is like that vast galaxy ......"
"Looks like I guessed it." Zhuo Ao pinched his eyebrows helplessly: "Tell me, how much we earned." ”
"This ......" Old Jack smiled bitterly, "Your 10,000 gold coins were all pressed on you by me, but other than that, I sold the house and everything that could be exchanged for money......"
"I just want to know how much bet you placed on me?" Zhuo Ao shook his head helplessly, and looked at Old Jack seriously.
"This ......," Old Jack said, holding out a finger in a curt.
"Ten thousand?" Zhuo Ao frowned and said, even so, with the odds of one to fifteen at that time, Old Jack also made a lot of money.
"I'm sorry, because the risk was too great at that time, so, in order to avoid the risk, I bet 11,000 gold coins in your name, and my property was ...... in my name," Old Jack said proudly.
"In other words, you just bet a thousand gold coins on me, right?" Zhuo Ao straightened up and looked at Old Jack.
"Dear Zhuo Ao, please forgive me, but I have to do this, you must know that it is almost impossible for you to win that battle, I don't want to lose all my money, I ......"
"Alright." Zhuo Ao patted Old Jack on the shoulder and smiled: "At least let me know, at least our friendship, and the value of a thousand gold coins, and most importantly, you didn't covet my gold coins together because of that mortal challenge, I can allow you to live in my villa temporarily, and you can also allow you to continue to be my investor, but the distribution of benefits needs to be replanned, you must know that you have almost nothing now, and without my support, you can't compete with others at all, right?" ”
Won the challenge, Zhuo Ao naturally promoted to become a senior fighter of the Colosseum, not only cut off the slave status, and the Colosseum, but also from the previous master-slave relationship to today's employment relationship, if said before, Zhuo Ao's opinion can not affect the final decision of the Colosseum executives, but now, for their own investors, Zhuo Ao has an absolute choice, the Colosseum will not only not force their own decision, but will protect themselves, as long as Zhuo Ao is willing, you can let the old Jack change at any time, Even if there is no such thing, this decision will be brought forward at an opportunity.
"Don't worry about this, dear Zhuo Ao!" Old Jack's fat face was huddled together, and he smiled: "I have drawn up a new contract, according to the general situation, the commission of the senior fighters is aside from the additional income of bets, and the orthodoxy is like the income from tickets and flowers, except for the four components to the Colosseum, the remaining sixty percent of the fighters occupy forty percent, and the investors occupy two percent, but considering that I can't bring you much help, I can reduce this dividend by one percent, you occupy fifty percent and I occupy one percent." ”
Although it is possible to make some money by betting, after all, the risk is too great, and not every game will have such an exaggerated ratio, so it is basically impractical to make a lot of money by betting on the perimeter.
Old Jack looked at Zhuo Ao worriedly, this is already the lowest score, if Zhuo Ao refuses, then he can only rely on the little money in his hand to go to the fighter camp to find a potential fighter to cultivate, but a fighter with great potential like Zhuo Ao, he may not be able to meet one in the Colosseum for a hundred years, it is already luck to be able to dig one, and then it is almost impossible to find a sure win.
"Yes." Zhuo Ao nodded and glanced at Old Jack with a bitter face: "For the sake of such a long friendship, I can allow you to live in my villa, but after you have a certain amount of wealth, you must move out, understand?" ”
After all, although Old Jack was greedy for money, he did not use his gold coins without authorization, at this point, Old Jack's professional ethics are still worth affirming, as for not betting gold coins on himself, it is after all Old Jack's own business, and it has nothing to do with Zhuoao.
Opinions were agreed, and the excited old Jack once again devoted himself to the enthusiasm of work, everything in this villa was his property, especially for him who had just failed to invest and suffered huge economic losses, and he was eager to move the entire villa out of the fighter camp.
Zhuo Ao closed the book helplessly, it seems that today's plan to stay quietly for a day is about to come to naught.
