Chapter Eighty-Seven: What You Gain and What You Lose
Danger is everywhere!
Donna, a magical archer who was supposed to be known for her dexterity and agility, was chased all over the place, and the occasional arrow or two was messy and inaccurate.
However, the earth-attribute warrior who should have been suppressed at the far end and focused on defense gave the opponent an all-round blow like an agile warrior, and his momentum was * people.
"It's too slow," Lilith concluded, frowning.
Xue'er nodded in agreement, "It's not that the opponent is fast, it's that Miss Donna herself is too slow, so slow that it's on par with an earth-attribute warrior who is known for her calmness, it's really ......"
Linko didn't say a word, but Sam blushed with shame.
"Big ...... Hunk you want to kill ...... Kill me!" Donna grabbed a gap and shot an arrow at her opponent as she ran out of breath, but the opponent lightly brushed her sword away, "Damn, if you really dare to hurt me, I'll ...... My grandfather won't let you go!"
"Hey, hey, hey," the strong man opened his big mouth and smiled innocently, not paying attention to Donna's threat at all, a big sword swung harder, and passed in front of Donna several times, frightening her pretty face was pale and white, but because of Lin Ke and others watching, she refused to admit defeat.
The scene was at an impasse for a moment.
A big man wielding a big sword kept chasing, and a frightened little beauty screamed and ran away.
Seeing that no one could help anyone, the audience gradually lost interest, and the cheers gradually rose, causing a lot of trouble to Donna.
She's a distraction person.
"Don't shout anything!!" She yelled anxiously at the sidelines, but she was almost cut off by a big sword, and she was shocked to know that this fierce guy on the other side really dared to kill herself like this, and here, her grandfather and mother and a huge Qingfeng family could not provide her with any help, she was just herself, and the strength of a waste wood that neglected to cultivate on weekdays made her instantly experience a kind of sadness, a kind of helplessness, and an unprecedented self-reflection, and gradually made a little improvement.
It's just that after all, it can be regarded as grinding the spear in battle, and after holding on for a while, the opponent still finds an opportunity to beat the ring with the spine of the sword on the back, and a mouthful of blood sprays on the edge of the stone platform, Donna opened her eyes slightly, thinking, as a member of the Qingfeng family, I have at least achieved the blood-stained ring, right?
Sam panicked and ran to Donna's side and helped her up, "Auntie, are you okay?
Donna's heart was warm and sad, "Maybe it's the meticulous care of the whole family that makes me forgetful, leaving only myself in my eyes?"
Lynco nodded his gratitude to the strong man on the stone platform before coming to Donna's side, she was able to stand up with Sam's support, and she didn't seem to be too badly injured.
She didn't want to look at him, and she didn't want him to see his embarrassed self.
"You're sixteen years old," Lin Ke blocked her way, "If there was too much love in the past that hindered your vision, now you can open your eyes." ”
Donna frowned and glared fiercely at Lin Ke, who looked back at her without saying a word, for a long time, tears slipped down, "You just want to see me embarrassed?!Now you're happy, aren't you?!"
Lin Ke shook his head, walked to her side, gently hugged her in his arms, and said gently, "Where in this world is there a brother who thinks his sister is ugly? You know? When you give up everything and run in the ring with tears in your eyes, you really exude a charming brilliance, because at that time, you are just yourself, not a little girl who hides under the aura of others, and it feels good to open your eyes and see the world clearly, right?"
Donna cried like a child for a long time before she nodded and said, "Cohen, you said I would be like Cher, right?"
"It's definitely going to be in cultivation," Lin Ke paused, "I can't look like it." ”
Donna was amused and slapped him and said, "I hate it." ”
Lin Ke smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay to get up." ”
"Who is rare," Donna wrinkled her nose and left Lin Ke's embrace, her nostrils facing the sky, "Sam, let's go back to the Qingfeng Family Chamber of Commerce, my aunt is really a little tired today," said as he strode forward first, refusing Sam's desire to help, and didn't look back.
She also has her pride.
"It's like a couple fighting," Cher snorted with vinegar, and Lilith nodded in agreement.
Lin Ke's head was big for a while, "Donna is my cousin, don't make trouble!"
"There are a lot of things about my cousin marrying my cousin, what a normal thing, but I didn't expect our young master Cohen to be a conservative," Cher pouted and didn't plan to give up on the topic.
And Lin Ke then remembered that he still retained the habits of thinking on the earth in this matter, but he didn't know that the so-called genetic genetics was not popular here.
I can't help but feel a chill in my heart when I think of this.
The group got into Hubert's rented bug cart again.
Speaking of which, although this is the second time to sit on it, Lin Ke does like this kind of hideous but very comfortable bug car, of course, it is quite spacious.
"Cohen, it's time to stop if you win this lucky bet, although you have made a lot of money in this game, but if you continue, you can't guarantee victory, right?" Hubert's bitter persuasion also glanced at Eller from time to time, hoping to get the support of this elder, and he had already told him the truth after Lin Ke and the others won.
Eller nodded and said slowly, "You guys did well this time, I bet ten gold coins on each of the three of you, which is also a small profit, but the second round is confusing, and it is a wise man to draw his hand at the right time." ”
Hubert's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Seven...... Seventh Grandpa, you ......"
Eller smiled a little embarrassedly and stopped talking.
"It's not advisable to bet blindly, don't worry, Seventh Grandpa, where would I act so hastily," Lin Ke said righteously.
Hubert was about to nod with relief when he heard Linko add, "But when the matchup chart comes out, we can add it up again, and know that the other side can win a hundred battles, for example, this time, Lilith defeated the star seed player in an upset, even if we actually lost a lot of money, after the matchup came out, her odds must have risen to a very high level, alas, she is still too young, too early to bet, impulsive." ”
Hubert "......"
"But then again, I'm afraid I can't bet on Lilith in the second round, she defeated the star seed player this time, unless she meets the first-ranked star seed player, I'm afraid the odds will be frighteningly low, and Xue'er's strength evaluation to defeat a strong opponent will definitely rise a lot, and if you want to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, I'm afraid it won't work, her attention within the third order of Xiong Li should be very high, and the odds are probably not high, so you can only count on me!" Lin Ke said with a smile.
"At least, set aside your original capital, even if you lose a lot in the second round, it will be a winless loss," Hubert gritted his teeth and broke the jar.
"Of course, I must pay back the capital of the three of them first, but forget about my own, if I lose, I won't follow Seventh Grandpa back to Windy City, it's a big deal to be punished," Lin Ke said with a dead face.
"You don't have to pay me back, I'll go back with you," Neil said with a smile as he whispered to Catwoman Merry in a language that no one could understand.
"I believe you," Lilith said very little, "you don't have to pay me back." ”
"Alas," Cher also sighed, "if you all go back if you lose, what's the point of me staying in the academy by myself." ”
Hubert and Mento were silent.
Eller and Harris nodded slightly.
Some people are really born different.
The bug cart just arrived at the destination war gambling house, and Lin Ke took the lead to get off the lane, "Hahaha, it seems like I will definitely lose," he laughed, his heart was full of pride, and he turned to the crowd who walked down from the bug cart, "It's the No. 1 star seed player Martin, I also want to let him know that it's not so easy to win my Cohen's money, and it's always me who wins in the end!"
"Humph!"
The imaginary praise of the crowd did not come, but a sneer came from behind him, and Lin Ke looked back to see a well-proportioned young man looking at him with disdain.
"Brother, what's the problem?" said Linko with a smile.
"Martin is not something that can be defeated by just anyone," the sturdy man shook the big cloth bag in his hand and said, "I'm here to bet on him to win, not me said you, you'd better not really touch Martin, otherwise you will lose as much as you bet!"
Lin Ke couldn't help but be a little funny, and actually ran into Martin's hardcore brain fan in the war gambling house, "Okay, okay, but you probably haven't heard that the second-ranked star seed player was cut down by a girl and missed the second round," Lin Ke was in a good mood, so he replied to him with a disdainful expression like a strong man and turned away, and the meaning he wanted to express was self-evident.
"Hmph, I wish you really ran into Martin as an opponent," the man snorted angrily behind Linko, "and he's going to beat you to a pig's head!"
Lin Ke smiled secretly and walked away without looking back.
Another guy who wants to beat himself into a pig appeared, but then again, I still have to send someone to inquire about whether Fias passed the first round later, after all, it is the Wind City folks who should care about it, and I think that as long as his luck is not too bad, it is still no problem to survive the first round, right?
――――――――――――――――――――
Contrary to Lin Ke's expectations.
It stands to reason that there are still ten days to go before the second round is over, and when the matchup is out eight days later, the war gambling house should be shut down for a while, but the fact is that people are much more popular than on the eve of the first round.
"Brother Hall, why are there so many people, this first round of the competition is not completely over," Lin Ke asked puzzled.
Hubert rolled his eyes and said, "How do I know, I don't participate in gambling, hum, but I heard that it is because every time it comes to the second round, there will be some big forces secretly involved, and a large amount of capital inflow has caused huge disparity in odds, especially some popular events, the total amount of bets on both sides of the gambling game has to reach the level of hundreds of thousands of gold coins or even millions of gold coins, and people are naturally more crazy under the stimulation of getting rich overnight." ”
"Tsk, no one knows how many people got rich overnight, but there must be a lot of people who were so poor that they jumped off the building overnight," Lin Ke shook his head and said, "Huh?"
I met an unexpected acquaintance here.
