Chapter 182: Victory and Defeat

The darkness obscured the faces of many people.

If they weren't familiar with each other, it would be difficult for anyone to see each other's faces clearly in the dim light.

There was little communication in this gambling arena, and some were just cathartic scolding.

Even the middle-aged man who passed the time with Zhang Xuezhou in a low voice came out of his mouth from time to time.

"How can we keep up with the times as an honest business, all kinds of novelties continue to come out, taking away our savings in waves" The middle-aged man scolded in a low voice: "This dog trough world!" ”

"Then we at least got the corresponding benefits," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Good is inevitable," the middle-aged man said, "But it's also like a shackle that keeps locking us up and we have to work hard to cope." ”

"That's," Zhang Xuezhou echoed.

"The saddest thing is that we people know a lot of things, but we lack the ability to do it" The middle-aged man said in frustration: "We can't afford all this, and we can't let go of all this, so we can only hover in the middle." ”

If you let go of everything, middle-aged people can live well.

He can travel around, he can eat luxurious meals constantly, he can act as a good person to support the poor......

But this goodness is only relative to the average person.

Compared to the higher level, he could only watch himself struggle with his dilapidated body, while those who were stronger at his age enjoyed their youth and the wealth left behind by the losers.

It has always been that big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimp.

He is in the middle level of this little fish, unable to go up, unwilling to go down.

He even knew very well that once he died, the companies he was in charge of in the past would no longer be able to enjoy special treatment, and would be slowly devoured by others taking advantage of them.

This mentality of not going up or down made him suffer torture, and he began to have a desperate mentality.

Nine out of ten gambles lose, but years of experience in running a business have made middle-aged people very judgmental and continue to hunt for income from this underground casino.

Even the amount of money he bets continues to pile up, and he seeks more profits.

Compared with the scale of Zhang Xuezhou's betting, his betting funds are dozens of times that of Zhang Xuezhou, and even hundreds of times in some conservative games.

As the second game of the battle rang out, his gaze on Zhang Xuezhou had quickly shifted to the ring, and he continued to pay attention to the points on the betting instrument.

"Sister, there will be fewer points in the early stage of this game, and there will be small outbreaks in the middle and late stages!"

Zhang Xuezhou looked at the more than 600 yuan in the e-wallet, and then bet on Zhang Manqian's opponent.

But compared to the previous one, which could wait until the end of a game, this game requires him to redeem the funds in the middle and buy Zhang Manqian's side in the later stage.

The matter of betting is easy to solve, but Zhang Xuezhou can't help but have apprehensions in his heart.

He looked at the tester with the number 23675 in the ring, and was mentioned by the middle-aged man that the other party had giant ape genes and five-star giant ape fighting skills, and it would obviously be difficult for Zhang Manqian to win.

"I need to get a set of techniques for pressing the bottom of the box for my sister!"

Zhang Xuezhou does not agree with Zhang Manqian's upward approach, but Zhang Xuezhou will not stop Zhang Manqian's pursuit.

First, it is difficult to turn back on what Zhang Manqian believes, and Zhang Xuezhou can't dissuade it.

The second is that Zhang Xuezhou has no other way out, and he can't stop Zhang Manqian from going up.

All he can do is try to do his part, lest Zhang Manqian continue to move up and get involved in higher risks.

Zhang Manqian is indeed in contact with a more cutting-edge world, although this world is full of violence and belongs to a dark area, but the slightest hint of this dark world is undoubtedly enough to make ordinary people excited, even crazy.

Simple health medicines can be sold at a high price, and even many elderly people rush to them.

Once he learned that there was a levospirase reagent to ensure the restoration of youth, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the life-sparing person was likely to be willing to go bankrupt to buy it.

Zhang Xuezhou suddenly understood why there is a gap in the world.

The current demand is clearly greater than productivity, and it is limited to some people enjoying the most cutting-edge technology, and even the need to continuously increase prices to cope with higher and higher demand.

Even middle-aged people with millions of betting funds can hardly bear these extremely expensive scientific and technological products, which is undoubtedly a price that ordinary people can hardly bear for a lifetime.

When they can't get it, there will be many people in society, like middle-aged people, who will take risks in pursuit of quick riches, which is likely to lead to the collapse of social order.

Zhang Xuezhou is difficult to let others do anything, he can only take care of his small family, and try to make his family members a little more stable when they go up.

He looked at his growing chips expressionlessly, and simply chose to sell, and then bought Zhang Manqian's side.

The foundation of more than 600 pieces has grown to 700, and it has quickly crossed 800 and stepped into 900.

The funds nearly tripled, but Zhang Xuezhou did not show any excitement.

There is no other reason for this, his base is too small, and even if he doubles or triples, his profit is limited.

He bets on the real big head items in the moneyline handicap.

This is also the reason why middle-aged people repeatedly shout and lose money, but continue to bet.

As long as the winning and losing handicap is not lost, the opponent will have the confidence to keep raising.

"You're five hundred to one thousand, this luck is okay!"

At the end of the second game, the middle-aged people couldn't help but feel a little more envious when they looked at it.

"My 20,000 has become 5,000, it's really unlucky!"

"Then you follow me, I'm lucky!"

Zhang Xuezhou responded, and the middle-aged man couldn't help but laugh back embarrassedly.

After all, he just moved his mouth, and it was impossible for the money in his hand to follow his mouth.

After more than three years of stepping into an underground casino, he has never seen anyone make a fortune by betting with others.

Zhang Xuezhou's profit multiple made him envious, but that's all.

"This 26442 broke out in the second half of the second game, and her consecutive hits added a lot of points, but her physical strength was limited, and it was difficult to continue to support this rapid outburst, so she could only play in the second half, and when she entered the third game, she would inevitably turn into a decline and then lose the game!"

"You're right!"

When expressing his opinions, Zhang Xuezhou also echoed and did not refute anything.

But when the middle-aged man placed a bet in the third game, his eyes couldn't help but sweep Zhang Xuezhou's side.

Seeing that Zhang Xuezhou bet directly on 26442 at the beginning, he shook his head slightly, and then chose Zhang Manqian's opponent 23675 to buy.

"How can you still go on such a rampage?"

In the ring, Zhang Manqian's offensive did not stop because of the outbreak of the second game.

On the contrary, Zhang Manqian's strikes appear to be faster and more accurate.

Seeing that his newly invested 20,000 chips shrank rapidly, the middle-aged man couldn't hold back his increasingly irritable emotions, and began to curse incessantly.

"Who can win for a long time, who can win steadily?"

There is no reason for the casino to win for a long time, no matter how much you eat, as long as you are still on the table, all the food will be spit out.

Zhang Xuezhou's ability to press accurately depends on understanding Zhang Manqian.

He didn't have any surprise at his winnings, but because of this spectator mentality, he saw it more clearly, and he also kept his mentality from being enslaved by money.

He likes money, but Zhang Xuezhou doesn't put the source of money in gambling.

It's just a good time.

Compared with the increase in bets, Zhang Xuezhou pays more attention to Zhang Manqian.

He stared at Zhang Manqian's figure, and it was difficult to know for a while what the level of the giant ape's fighting skills was, and whether Zhang Manqian's crane-shaped fist could gain the upper hand.

"His grandmother's, he doesn't even give him any living expenses!"

A meter away, the middle-aged man had clearly given up on real-time betting and focused on winning and losing games.

"Lose, lose me!"

Like a bull with red eyes, he stood up and screamed frantically.

"Win!"

The middle-aged man's roaring voice was full of surprise, but Zhang Xuezhou stood up suddenly, and the apprehension in his heart was directly transformed into urgency.

In the ring, Zhang Manqian, who was attacking continuously, was caught by her opponent in the open space.

With a punch, Zhang Manqian's body seemed to have been collided with a locomotive, and was directly knocked away for more than ten meters.

In the direction where Zhang Manqian was knocked away, until a few seconds after Zhang Manqian landed, a touch of scarlet was still floating in the air.
