Master Jin took out the contract I signed with the Black Tiger Regiment and fiddled with the abacus according to the terms above. I looked at him apprehensively, anxious to see the final figures.

"Thirty-two!" Master Jin finally withdrew his finger and said to me, "Now your termination fee is 32,000 Yin Yuan!" ”

"Thirty-two ......" I frowned, not far from my own predictions. But what I want to know more is another number.

"What is the total amount of my winnings?"

Master Jin took out another ledger and found the number of prizes I had for each game, adding them up in turn. After dialing the abacus for a while, Master Jin replied to me: "You have participated in nine games so far, and the total prize money for winning has reached 8,124 Yin Yuan, but there is still 23,876 Yin Yuan short of the liquidated damages you currently need!" ”

"Twenty-three thousand eight...... That's about 24,000? I folded my head and lamented.

"That's pretty much it!" Master Jin put away the account book, and then asked me, "What?" Do you want to cancel your contract early? ”

I nodded helplessly.

Master Jin smiled and said to me, "How long have you been here?" Want to terminate the contract with a bonus? Let's play with peace of mind! ”

"Master Jin, have there been any gladiators who have successfully terminated their contracts with the prize money for winning before?" I was not reconciled and continued to want to consult him.

"Yes! But it's usually been here for at least three or four years. Your grades are very good, and if you calculate it this way, you should be able to terminate your contract early after two years. ”

"How is the winning prize calculated?"

"Quite simply, in the on-the-spot gladiatorial match you participate in, one achievement of the total amount of money the audience bets on you is your winning prize." Master Jin made a calculation again, "For example, in the last game, the audience bet a total of 11,750 Yin Yuan on you, and your winning bonus is 1,175 Yin Yuan, and then you and the Black Tiger Group each get 40% of this money, and the dealer gets 20%. Do you understand? ”

"Got it......"

When I left the bookkeeper, I was still distressed. In order to be able to go to the underworld to find Liu Han, I can go out to participate in the deathmatch. But the problem of liquidated damages is not easy to solve.

"Liquidated damages, winning bonuses, total bets...... Which one is easy to achieve? "I thought about it, but I couldn't really make any of them. Because all my current private money adds up to only more than 5,000 Yin Yuan, which is still far behind!

Once people are in a hurry, they will come up with all kinds of extreme ideas. A thought popped into my head: "Since I'm going to participate in a deathmatch, if I lose, I have to die!" Then what am I doing with those 5,000 Yin Yuan? It's better to take it all and bet on yourself to win! ”

"That's right! Win or die! "I gritted my teeth and made up my mind to take the risk.

Of course, the rules set by the dealer certainly did not allow gladiators to bet on themselves. In fact, all staff involved in gladiatorial tournaments were forbidden to gamble in order to prevent catharsis.

In other words, if I want to bet my money on myself, I have to find another person to bet on my behalf!

But who to look for?

Lu Dian?

No way! He is currently in charge of managing and training ghost slaves in the Ground Honeycomb, and occasionally appears in the gladiatorial arena with the ghost fighters of the Earth Honeycomb. It is likely that he will not be allowed to gamble either.

Bird meat?

Not even more! He was even less timid after his broken leg. And since Long Xiaoyan and Ximen Ji died in battle, and Liu Yuxin left Baishui City, the remaining three members of our original expedition team have become friends of life and death, and the bird meat still has to be taken care of by me and Lu Dian. Therefore, with Bird Meat's current mentality, it will definitely prevent me from doing such a stupid thing.

So, to do this, I have to find someone else I can trust, but who is not too close to me. And to make such a large bet at once, it is best to have a notoriously good gambler come forward, so as not to arouse suspicion......

Thinking of this, a person popped up in my mind:

Iron Brother!

That's right! He ticks all the boxes, and he is the perfect candidate!

Others are best betting, but the reputation is not bad, and the key point is that he should have money to lend me!

If I want to terminate the contract, it is not enough to rely on my existing 5,000 Yin Yuan to gamble, maybe I can ask Brother Tie to help me and borrow some money as a bet. Anyway, it's still the same sentence: one win wins all, one loses loses all!

With my consent, Master Xiao signed up for a deathmatch on the fifteenth of this month, and the opponent has not yet been determined. But for me, no matter which ghost fighter I play against, I have no way back, I have to win. On top of that, I had to find a way to borrow a huge amount of money.

So the day before the race, I went to the weapon shop opened by Brother Tie in Zuo City again. He happened to be greeting customers in the store, and when he saw me coming, he grinned happily and said, "Oh oh! It turned out to be a big star! ”

"Brother Iron laughed......"

I was just about to be modest, but he grabbed me and put my shoulders on my back, as if my enthusiasm was a little too much.

Brother Tie shouted proudly at several customers in the store: "Look, everyone, this is the hottest 'backstabber' in the gladiatorial arena at the moment, and he has won nine games in a row!" He's a long-time customer of my shop, and we made all the gear he wears! The quality is absolutely guaranteed! ”

I was stunned, what does this mean, use me to advertise?

But those customers gathered around me with great interest when they heard Brother Tie's shouting, and looked me up and down excitedly.

"Wow! It's really a backstabber! ”

"I didn't expect that the man with the back pot is actually quite handsome! It's just that I've been delayed by this nickname, hehe! ”

"Blasphemous man! Blasphemous! Sign us for it! ”

"Sign me one too, just sign it on this new helmet! Boss, I bought this helmet! ”

I couldn't laugh or cry, but I still patiently met the requests of these "fans" one by one, and along the way, I helped Brother Tie sell a few new pieces of equipment in the store. Since you have a request for him, let's leave a good impression on him first.

After sending the fans away, Brother Tie was satisfied and let me go. He smiled and asked me, "The big star is here this time, do you also want to buy equipment?" It's easy to say, it's easy to say, they're all old acquaintances, I'll give you a 20% discount, okay? Uh, if you're willing to help me do celebrity endorsements, advertisements, or something, I'll give you a 6% discount, how about it? ”

I hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Brother Tie, I'm not here to buy equipment this time. ”

"yes, as far as I know, gladiators don't need to spend their own money on equipment. So you're here to talk to me today? He grinned.

I replied in a low voice, "Sort of." But there are some things that are not good to say here, let's talk about them privately? ”

"No problem!"

So, Brother Tie took me to a small table behind the counter and sat down with a screen, and called for the man to go and make me a pot of tea.

"Say, what's the point?"

I decided to test him first, so I asked, "Brother Tie, can you trust me or not?" ”

"Look at what you're saying!" Brother Tie half-jokingly slapped the table and complained, "The two of us can be regarded as friends in trouble!" You were there when I was the most depressed, brother, and then you came to help my business when it developed, so it must not be a deal! Besides, you're a big star now, how can I not believe you? ”

"That's good. I'm here today to ask for you, brother, and I hope that my brother will help me! ”

"Oh, please? It's okay, just say anything! ”

"To tell you the truth, I came this time to borrow money from my brother."

"Borrow money?"

Brother Tie slapped the table in front of him, but as soon as he heard these two words, his voice immediately became an octave, and then he changed his expression to be very embarrassed.

"Oops...... I'm here, my small shop is also a small business, and you, a big star, came to me to borrow money, and you think too highly of me, right? ”

"Brother, we're friends in trouble!" I also made a bitter face, and moved out all the scenes he just said, "No matter if you are down, brother, or developed, I have never asked you." Now the little brother is also a person with a head and a face, can't you not give me face, brother? ”

Brother Tie immediately choked, so he had to find himself under the stairs in embarrassment: "Ahem, let's talk about how much you want to borrow?" ”

"Fifteen thousand yin yuan."

"Fifteen thousand? No way! No way! Brother Tie was shocked, shook his head violently and said, "This is too much!" Far more than I trust in you! ”

Hey, this old man, this kind of thing can also be put on the table, and it can be said so bluntly......

Of course, I definitely wouldn't think about the white wolf with empty gloves this time, so I said to him: "Don't worry, brother, I also brought collateral here." ”

I took out a title deed and handed it to Brother Tie to see, and said, "This is the title deed of Tian Laolu Nursing Home, and the house on it is newly built." The original price of the land deed plus the house cost a total of more than 20,000 Yin Yuan, and now I mortgage it to you, how can it be worth 15,000? ”

Brother Tie looked at the land deed, but still shook his head and said: "You may need so much money to buy land and build a house, but the land price and house price have fallen after the tide, so you can't calculate it according to the original price." Moreover, the value of the collateral must generally be higher than that of the loan. ”

"Then how much do you think you can mortgage?"

Brother Tie frowned and thought about it, and finally only stretched out a finger and said to me: "Integer, at most ten thousand!" ”

Although this price is much lower than the price I offered, the situation can only give in. So I gritted my teeth and agreed.

"Brother, why don't you go to a pawnshop for such a thing as selling land and houses?" Brother Tie accepted the title deed with satisfaction, and then asked this sentence more.

"I'm not selling, I'm just making collateral temporarily. And I have a few other precious weapons, and the people in the pawnshop don't necessarily have the vision of you, brother! ”

"Oh? What baby? Brother Tie's eyes lit up again.
