Chapter 147: "Whitewashing"
The results of the playoffs were generally not very satisfying for Gondor and Hoshizhao.
The specific schedule is as follows, Group A Panda vs. Raymond, Group B Rock vs. Long Biao, Group C Xingzhao vs. Yunero, Group D Gangduo vs. Taiyi. Then A vs. B, C vs. D. Then the winner of both sides competes for the championship.
Judging from the schedule, first of all, Xingzhao has to pass the level of Yunero, which is very difficult. But if the stars pass this hurdle, then Gondor will hardly have a chance to make it to the final.
In other words, the focus of the contradiction is concentrated in the lower half of the C and D groups from the beginning.
In contrast, the top half, while admittedly higher, is not as appealing as the bottom half – everyone knows what the root cause of this "NBA" is, and while the clash of masters is worth watching, enough has been seen in the last few months. Now the people who eat melons are only interested in the focus issues.
Therefore, even the time of the game has been adjusted under the strong demand of the melon-eating masses.
On the 6th, 7th, and 8th of April, the stars shone on Yunero. Then there are Panda vs. Raymond, Gondor vs. Taiyi, and Rock vs. Long Biao. Next, take a day off and win the second half of the division, then the top half of the division, and fight for the championship.
If three games are played in each round, it is theoretically possible that on April 27, the "NBA Tournament" from Alice's idea to the final completion will be completely completed in less than a month before the year.
Of course, this date is likely to be several days in advance, after all, a second winning streak should not be too rare......
For example, in the first round, Xingzhao's match against Younero, many people were optimistic that Younero would win easily in two straight games. Even Alice, the gambling dealer, thought so, so when she saw Jian Thirteen aggressively throwing a large bag of gold coins half a person high in front of her, and betting on Xingzhao to win, her eyes immediately widened and she was a little at a loss.
"This ...... Xingzhao wins, it is 8.5 to 1, which means ......"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Sword Thirteen said viciously, "Collect money!"
Alice refused to reach out to take it, the bag of gold coins may not seem to be very much at first glance, but she could see at a glance that this bag was not an ordinary leather bag, but a magic prop "gold coin bag", and the weight of gold coins that could be stored in it was far greater than that of the same volume of gold.
Such a big bag, if it is full, I am afraid that there will be millions of gold coins!
Alice is not poor, and during the regular season, she made a lot of money by sitting in the bank and opening gambling games. In terms of "liquidity", she is likely to be more powerful than the coffers of some countries. But even then, she didn't have the guts to take such a bet.
If she loses this sum, she will not only have to lose all the money she has earned from gambling in the past year, but she may also have to pay off her old book, and maybe even ...... It's not even enough to stick to the old book.
When the time comes, do you still have to find someone to borrow money?
Not to mention how much money she can borrow based on her popularity, just borrowing money from others with her palms facing up makes her feel embarrassed and unwilling to do it.
So she thought for a while, shook her head and said, "Your bet is too big for me to take?"
"You can't even take the bet, and you still learn to open a gambling game?" Sword Thirteen shouted with a glare.
"I didn't expect anyone to make such a big bet. Alice explained with some embarrassment, "I can't afford to pay for such a big bet." Bets that can't be lost, I can't take them even if I want to. ”
"You haven't seen how much money I brought, how do you know if you can't pay it?"
"Just look at this bag. Since you are carrying such a bag, even if it is not full, at least seventy or eighty percent full...... This amount is too big, if Xingzhao really wins, plus other people's bets, I will lose a total of tens of millions of gold coins. Alice sighed, "Do you think I look like someone with so much money?"
Sword Thirteen sneered.
Of course he knew that Alice wouldn't have that much money, even ...... Carrying this large pile of money to bet on it, he calculated it, or rather, it was calculated by Xingzhao.
Alice herself doesn't know how much she's earning, but Hoshizhao does. Ever since the big demon started presiding over the gambling game, she has been paying attention to everyone's betting. Because the bets and payouts are public, she clearly counts how much Alice has earned in total during the "regular season" period.
Close to eight million gold coins.
This is already an astronomical amount, enough to make the kings of the Western Continent look sideways, and enough to support at least two wars on the scale of annihilation.
Xingzhao felt that the money was ill-gotten gains, and it should not be left with Alice.
So she designed this operation, called "Whitewashing".
Wash away the ill-gotten gains and let them work in the right place.
Alice certainly didn't think much of it, and after arguing with Sword Thirteen, she accepted a bet totaling half a million gold coins.
She was sure that at least that amount of bet she would be able to pay.
Of course...... In fact, she didn't think that she really needed to pay the money, but just be prepared for it - although pleasure criminals often seem to be brainless, in fact, they are often very cerebral and very cautious, otherwise, they are not pleasure criminals, but dead friends.
Jian Thirteen walked away with a disdainful face, and after a while, he came to the research institute in the forest, where Xingzhao, Panda and the others were already waiting.
"How?" asked Panda, "is it done?"
"The little round face was more cautious than we expected. Jian Thirteen sighed and said, "She is only willing to take half a million." ”
"500,000 is not a lot. More than four million, plus our previous bet...... Overall, it can be called a nerve-wracking for her. Panda smiled and said.
Xingzhao shook his head: "It's not enough! If you can't let Alice go bankrupt, it doesn't matter how much you win!"
She looked at the people who were all in the plan, and said solemnly, "Alice must be punished, hasn't she always liked to be happy and not good or evil? So we have to bankrupt her and put her in debt so that we can teach her a hard lesson!"
"If a man is not taught a lesson, he will not be alert!" Locke nodded, "I agree with Xingzhao's opinion." ”
"But...... We've all already bet on it, and it doesn't add up to that......"
"So I'm going to find someone else. Xingzhao pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "I'll go to Lao Bai and them!"
"They, even if they want to bet, they don't have much money......
"They have basically not used money over the years, and the cumulative dividends of more than ten years are not a small amount. Xingzhao said, "What's more...... Do you think Alice, the pleasure criminal, cares where their money comes from?"
Half an hour later, a few "real dead houses" who usually look like mushrooms growing in the library came to the castle hall and asked Alice to bet on.
Although she wondered why these dead houses would take out the wives' money she had saved for more than ten years, Alice still accepted their bet.
She couldn't help but smile happily as she looked at the guys who were a little worried but forced to calm down.
(No matter how many times you watch such a scene, it is pleasing to the eye...... )
