Chapter Twenty-Four: There seems to be a way to make money quickly
After the sky darkened, Lu Qianfan sat alone under the tree, eating bread a little lonely. Since the Sky Wolf leveled up, his speed of farming monsters has evolved to an extremely terrifying state. It seems that in order to make up for the long delay in bedridden, Lu Qianfan has killed a total of twenty-two non-commissioned officer-level demonic beasts such as golden sand monkeys and white-haired fire-feathered finches in two days, and the casualties of private-level demonic beasts are even more severe.
"It's time to go back." Lu Qianfan knew the traces of his rest, and set foot on the way home alone. It was less than five days before the freshman assessment meeting, and he also needed to seriously investigate. Not fighting unprepared battles is Lu Qianfan's consistent style. Well, don't ask what happened to the fight with the Fire Feather Finch and the Storm Sand Monkey before, it was Lu Qianfan's cousin who did it. As for Hu Yao and Lu Jianxun, it wasn't a fight, it was martial arts teaching.
After settling the reward for hunting the monster, Lu Qianfan returned to the dormitory. Zhang Yuan, Fang Jiang, and Chu Tianyi just said hello when they saw Lu Qianfan coming back after dark again. The news that Lu Qianfan followed a team of hunters to hunt demonic beasts in the forest outside the city spread far and wide, mostly because they happened to meet Xia Zhuoer when they went to the hospital to visit. Zhang Yuan is okay, Chu Tianyi and Fang Jiang are notoriously big-mouthed, and Lu Qianfan's secret is in them, and they can't hide it at all.
"You three, how are you exercising lately?" Lu Qianfan asked.
Fang Jiang immediately showed his smooth arm and said excitedly, "Look, how about it?" I've been practicing every day for a week. Look at my brother's biceps, don't fall in love with me. ”
"Huh". Chu Tian had a habit of exercising before he went to college, and since Lu Qianfan beat Lu Jianxun violently, his training volume has more than doubled compared to his original breath. In the middle of this, he rolled up his sleeves and bent his arm hard, and his swollen biceps straightened Fang Jiang's eyes. Seeing this scene, Lu Qianfan couldn't help but sigh - excessive fitness sometimes does attract the same sex.
Zhang Yuan's training volume is about the same as Fang Jiang's, but his foundation is much better than Fang Jiang's, so the result is a little stronger than Fang Jiang.
"Not bad." Lu Qianfan nodded with satisfaction. He said, "You three can summon demon armor, right?" ”
"Don't talk about the magic armor, what have you practiced?" Fang Jiang said unconvinced: "Don't be a strong mouth......" After Fang Jiang saw Lu Qianfan lifting his shirt, before he finished speaking, his saliva came down first.
Chu Tianyi poked Lu Qianfan's abdominal muscles in disbelief, and asked with envy: "I have been practicing for two years to get a little look, your line is perfect!" You ......"
Lu Qianfan was glad that he had not lost the habit of training, and pretended to say: "I have been training for more than three years. After saying a word, he saw that the three of them were ready to take dumbbells to practice.
"It's okay, it's okay. The stature is all secondary. ”
"Shut up! Do you know that your figure represents the right to choose a mate first! ”
Lu Qianfan was speechless. After working hard in the adult world for too long, he almost forgot that he was in the innocent school era. "Ah, the hormones of youth."
"You're dashing there!" Fang Jiang roared angrily: "Shouldn't I regret it!! ”
Lu Qianfan felt that he shouldn't have talked to these three guys. This kind of dialogue, which has nothing to do with the main plot, looks like a plan to drag out the game time, or the author of the novel is making up the word count. "Is there any news of the freshman assessment meeting, Fang Jiang?"
Fang Jiang was stunned for a moment. As soon as the little prince of Fang Jiang, who claimed to be a know-it-all, heard that Lu Qianfan wanted to inquire about the news, he immediately put away the foolish face from before. He said: "Freshman appraisal meeting? There is a lot of news, ten yuan a piece, and the price of the whole message package is 200 yuan, for the sake of your roommates, count you 500. ”
"Kill you!" Lu Qianfan directly gave Fang Jiang a naked choke. "Less nonsense, five dollars, hurry up."
"Deal! Deal! Fang Jiang hurriedly patted Lu Qianfan's arm and conceded defeat. He said: "The freshman assessment conference is divided into two parts, one is the professional assessment, and the project of our program school is basic programming. This item is actually a thorough test, which is convenient for the school to understand the students. The other is the main event, competitive battles. Only freshmen who have participated in the actual combat experience and successfully killed the Warcraft can participate. The competitive battle is divided into three rounds, and the first round of one-on-one ring battles, as long as you can win three consecutive games in the ring, you will pass. In the second round of the big melee, according to the number of people, the six venues are evenly distributed, and the person who stays last on the field is passed. The eliminated ones will be assigned to two other venues, and two more will pass after the scuffle. These eight will advance to the final third round of elimination. Eight people will compete in groups according to the draw and play a single-elimination tournament. In other words, if you can win three games in a row in the third round, you are the champion. At present, there are a total of 263 new students who are eligible to participate in the competitive battle. There are still five days left before the freshman appraisal meeting, and according to the situation in previous years, the number of people will surge in the last few days, and the total number will be between 500 and 600 people. ”
"Everyone knows the rules, the number of participants is only approximate, who gave you the courage to set the price at 200 yuan? Liang Jingru? ”
"You paid five dollars, and that's all there is, of course." Fang Jiang smiled evilly: "A penny, a penny." ”
"A meal of crayfish." Lu Qianfan said.
"Two meals, enough beer."
"Deal." Sure enough, there is nothing in this world that can't be solved by one meal of crayfish, and if there is, two meals.
Fang Jiang tinkered with his mobile phone for a moment and said, "The Meituan meal coupon has been booked, you pay." ”
"Holy! You're too fast! ”
"Someone in the school has opened a handicap, a freshman assessment conference." Fang Jiang pulled the chair to Lu Qianfan's side and said mysteriously: "This handicap is opened by old students, and many teachers and instructors are also involved. ”
"Is that okay?" Chu Tianyi and Zhang Yuan also heard the news for the first time, and hurriedly came over.
Fang Jiang said with a smile: "This market has been open for almost ten years, and because only school insiders are allowed to participate, no one cares." The Demon Armor Academy has always been known for its fierce folk customs, and there are always those who open and bet on those who do not admit defeat, and there is a lot of friction, but in the end, they are all beaten by fat. As long as no one lives, it is a communication and exchange, and the school naturally turns a blind eye to this kind of thing. After a long time, it will be all rules. ”
"Huh...... I'm not going to college, I'm going to a college......"
Fang Jiang continued: "This time the handicap is a bet on who will win the championship. The dealer gives sixteen seeded players and an option to bet at will. Xiao Ranran and Tu Shanwei have the lowest odds, followed by Li Lei. ”
Lu Qianfan turned the mobile phone handed over by Fang Jiang and looked at the odds displayed on the website. Xiao Ranran and Tu Shanwei both have odds of 10 to 11, Li Lei is 10 to 15, the odds of those who are further back are higher, and the odds of the last few people who are bet at will are as high as 10 to 170.
"Is this odd set by the bookmaker?" Lu Qianfan asked.
"The odds of seeded players are given by the bookmaker, and the site will adjust the odds of players who bet at will according to the number of bets placed by players, and the odds of seeded players will also be fine-tuned, but generally not too much." Fang Jiang said: "I bought all my living expenses for this month. ”
Lu Qianfan had just thought of a way to make money, but because of Fang Jiang's words, he suddenly hesitated.
"Qianfan, if you participate, I will buy you another ten yuan, and I will treat it as a brother and I will support you." Fang Jiang said suddenly.
Lu Qianfan was embarrassed. In front of beauty, brotherhood is only worth ten dollars. "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."
"These words have a faint smell of pretending." Chu Tianyi said.
"Nonsense, unless Qianfan can win the championship, the old party will definitely not get back the ten yuan." Zhang Yuan said.
"Huh." Lu Qianfan smiled noncommittally. He entered all the players with names on the website into the computer, and combined with the information given to him by Fang Jiang, he had a general understanding. However, talking on paper is a taboo for soldiers. Therefore, Lu Qianfan decided to take the opportunity of actual combat experience to take a closer look at the strength of these people. He sent a message to Xiao Ranran: "Ranran, I will sign up for the actual combat experience tomorrow, are you interested in joining us?" ”
"Nope." The reply over there is fast.
Lu Qianfan sighed. Since he was hospitalized, he has never seen Xiao Ranran, and he doesn't know what she is doing. "I should go find her first and then farm monsters." Lu Qianfan muttered to himself. He then said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I should have come to you as soon as I was discharged. ”
"I've been participating in actual combat training for the past few days, so I don't have time to pay attention to you."
Lu Qianfan smiled bitterly. Xiao Ranran's efforts were no less than his. "Rest early."
"Hmm."
"Good night."
Xiao Ranran hesitated for a moment, and also replied with a "Good night." Then, she stripped off her clothes and stepped into the bathtub with her slender jade legs. She sat in the tub and sank her shoulders under the warm water.
"Huh......" Xiao Ranran hugged herself with her hands, trying her best to relieve the fatigue deposited in her body. Since participating in the actual combat experience, she has to face the attacks of private-level demonic beasts every day. Even though he knew that his strength was enough to deal with non-commissioned officer-level demonic beasts, when he saw demonic beasts that were far larger than ordinary animals, Xiao Ranran's heart would still be filled with indescribable fear.
Xiao Ranran knew that although she had defeated the Demon Beast, she had only done so under the supervision of the instructor. Because, she knows that no matter what happens to her, she will not encounter danger. But what happens without the protection of an instructor? Will she be able to overcome the fear in her heart and defeat the monster?
Xiao Ranran hesitated. She remembered Lu Qianfan she had seen in the jungle. Although Lu Qianfan, who was lying on the shoulders of others, was embarrassed and panicked, there was no fear in his eyes when he looked at the two huge demonic beasts. It is precisely because of those firm eyes that Xiao Ranran will continue to work hard. "In the end, I'm still chasing you."
If Lu Qianfan heard this, he would probably be so surprised that his jaw dehooked - Xiao Ranran's self-talk was as if he knew what was happening in the original world, so unreasonable.
Xiao Ranran didn't realize why she would say this. The waist-length hair was coiled behind Xiao Ranran's head, and the thick water vapor floated up, hiding the words in the mist.
In the bedroom, a photo album is casually thrown on the bed. As a child, Xiao Ranran rode on her father's shoulder, smiling like a blooming flower. But the strange thing is that there is no figure of Xiao Ranran's mother on all the photos. It wasn't torn off, it was as if someone had erased it from the photograph, leaving only an abruptly empty seat. It's as if she never existed in this world.
