Chapter 111 - Real Gamblers
Li Feilong pampered her, and said: "If his performance is not bad, even if he loses, I am still willing to accept him. Princess, you can rest assured now."
Ming Yi chuckled: "I knew Great Elder doted on Ming Yi the most, Great Elder need not worry, this brat's talent and abilities will definitely make Great Elder look at him in a new light."
Li Feilong was a little puzzled, "How did you know? Could it be that I saw it when I fought with you? "
Ming Yi shook her head and replied, "When I fought with him, he didn't use any of her abilities. It's because last night, they met with a sneak attack, and he was the only one who kept herself awake. Moreover, she even fought with a person who far surpassed his strength.
"Someone would sneak attack them? "How strong is he?" Li Feilong was also interested.
"His opponent is a mid-stage Xiantian realm martial artist, and he even wanted to use knockout drugs to stun them beforehand. This brat is the only one who found out in advance, and after several rounds of fighting with his opponents, he was not at a disadvantage at all. Even their elders are about to be stunned, but fortunately, my men managed to resolve this crisis in time. Great Elder, you said that Great Elder does not want such a talent? "
Hearing Ming Yi's praises, Li Feilong became very interested in Lin Mo. If he was looking down on the princess before, hearing the princess talk like this, this young man really had some skills.
"Being able to compete with someone at the Xiantian realm for a few rounds without losing, his strength is already no small matter. This kid is most likely hiding his strength, he really needs to find a powerful character for this first round." Li Feilong smiled slightly.
"I've made the right arrangements. He's going to use the fiercest fire to roast him, so he'll display the highest of strength. Just you wait. Maybe he won't even need an elder to appear before he can break into the top ten." Ming Yi said proudly.
Lin Mo was currently waiting for the competition to officially begin. The competition for the first day started according to the order in which the contestants fought on the match-up list. As for Qin Xinyin's name, it should only be held very late in the night, and it would be a long time before Lin Mo's name reached the frontline.
The main city was already packed with people, and compared to yesterday, there were even more people. Because today was the official competition, almost everyone who could come to the main city had come.
Tens of thousands of people had gathered in the huge square of the Imperial City, which was extremely grand. On the outskirts of the main stadium, there had long since been people set up a casino, and according to the names and statuses of the competition forms, the odds were set. This was also one of the main reasons why so many people were paying attention to the competition today.
As there was still some time before the competition officially started, Lin Mo was bored to death. He saw that there was also a casino set up by a dealer in front of him, a casino that was legal in the Imperial City, as long as they had the permission of the Imperial Family. And these casinos that were set up around the competition arena, were all prepared for today's competition, because this way they could let more people participate in the gambling.
He had never gambled in his entire life. Firstly, because of his home tutor, he also thought that gambling was not a good thing, working hard would cost him money, and secondly, he didn't even have the money to gamble at that time. Furthermore, he didn't have the mind to gamble at all, he had only thought about entering the Lingyun Sect at that time.
Lin Mo then said to the Third Elder: "Third Elder, I'm going to take a look at the casino."
The Third Elder laughed, "What? Do you want to take a gamble too? "
Lin Mo shook his head and laughed: "I'm just going to take a look out of boredom, I don't plan to gamble once."
Unexpectedly, the Third Elder said, "Since you're going to take a look, you should also take a gamble. I still have some gold coins here, and it's my personal money, not public money. Help me place the bet on you and Xinyin."
Lin Mo did not expect the Third Elder to like it too. He laughed: "Is the Third Elder really that confident in me? "If I lose, you won't have any private money left."
The Third Elder laughed out loud. "So what if I lost? It's not that big of a deal. This old man only has this little hobby. I believe in your and Xinyin's strength. Go."
After saying that, the Third Elder took out a small bag of gold coins and handed it over to Lin Mo. Lin Mo weighed it in his hand and estimated that it would be around fifty gold coins.
Lin Mo also did not decline, because he was absolutely confident in himself. Qin Xinyin also followed along and said: "Third Elder, why not come and take a look?"
However, Lao Yuewu shook his head and said: "Every time I go there, there won't be any good results. This time, I'll let you go in my place, I believe a mysterious guy like you will bring me good luck."
Lin Mo laughed helplessly and went along with Qin Xinyin to the casino. At this time, the casino was also tightly surrounded by a group of people, and there were a few guys in charge of the casinos sitting in the middle. They were extremely busy already, and their surroundings were filled with people who wanted to place bets.
"I want to buy the thirty-eighth group, Sun Chaofeng. I'm betting 10 gold coins."
"I want to bet eight gold on the tenth group's Zhou Quan's victory."
"I want to buy the 101th set of coins and win more, 10 gold coins. This kid's name is nice, this daddy here will follow him."
Lin Mo heard the bets of the crowd, but he did not immediately open his mouth to place his bet. Instead, he looked at the table of payout in the casino, and it was clear that the casino's payout for each group of opponents was very clear, so Lin Mo quickly found Qin Xinyin's payout: It was actually a payout of one point and one point, but if the opponent wins, the payout rate would actually reach one to three.
It was obvious that the gambling house had long predicted that Qin Xinyin would definitely win, so this set of odds was completely meaningless. Unless one was an idiot, no one would place their bets on Qin Xinyin's opponent.
Lin Mo did not plan to bet on Qin Xinyin, because even if he won the bet, he would not be able to earn money.
When he saw the words "1: 10" written under his name, he was overjoyed. One gold coin could bring back 10 gold coins. How could he find a good deal like this?
It seemed like no one had any confidence in him, after all, his opponent was an expert of the A fifth-grade sect, and he was just a mere Fourth-rank Sect. The difference in strength was too great, so there was almost no hope for him to win.
Lin Mo thought that he should bet on himself to win. Just when he was about to bet all his money into his own name, he suddenly saw a man in ragged clothes charge in from the crowd, and shouted loudly, "I want to bet, I want to bet."
When the surrounding people saw him, they all revealed an expression of ridicule. It was as if they were just watching a joke, and this man was indeed in a sorry state.
Lin Mo could see that not a single part of his body was clean, and his clothes were full of patches. He had not changed for around a month, and there was a pungent smell on his body.
A man who was betting on the side mocked: "Mad Zhou, you have come to bet again, what are you selling this time, it seems like you already have nothing to sell."
The other man looked a little pitiful as he said, "Mad Zhou, don't bet, you've never won all of them. You've even lost all of your houses, just honestly look for something proper to do."
The man they called Mad Zhou didn't seem to hear their words at all, he still rushed to the betting table, pointed at the Gambling Officer in front and said loudly: "I want to bet."
Gambling Officer should have known Mad Zhou for a long time, she said with a face of ridicule: "Mad Zhou, do you have money to bet? This time, do not use your life to place your bet, I will not take it, moreover it is not worth much, if you want to bet that money, then scram. "
However, the Mad Zhou refused to accept this. "You're underestimating me, of course I'm rich." As he spoke, he threw an item at the counter, and it immediately produced a "dong" sound.
When everyone took a closer look, they realized that there was actually a kitchen knife on the table. It was a very ordinary and ordinary kitchen knife, the same one that ordinary people would use to cut vegetables …
When everyone saw the kitchen knife, they all laughed. A man laughed out loud and said, "Mad Zhou, are you crazy to bet that you actually took out a kitchen knife? Do you want to gamble or rob me?"
Mad Zhou was embarrassed by everyone's laughter. "I'm here to gamble, where are you going to rob me?"
The man laughed and said, "What's the value of this lousy kitchen knife? You can use it to bet as well. I've never seen anyone bet with a kitchen knife before." Then he laughed again.
Mad Zhou seemed to have lost some face, he suddenly raised his kitchen knife and shouted, "I am betting with my kitchen knife today, what can you do about it?"
The surrounding crowd instantly dispersed. They were afraid that Mad Zhou would really be crazy, if he were to cut them then they wouldn't be able to move.
When Gambling Officer saw that Mad Zhou was causing trouble here, he messed up her business and immediately shouted: "Mad Zhou, hurry up and scram. If you continue to mess around here, I will throw you out of here."
Although this Gambling Officer was only a small role in the gambling house, her strength was not bad either. With her cultivation level, she could easily kill ten people like the Mad Zhou.
But Mad Zhou seemed to have gone mad. He waved his kitchen knife and shouted, "If you don't let me bet today, I will die here."
The Gambling Officer saw that this was not okay, he hurriedly stood up and swung her leg towards Mad Zhou. Mad Zhou could tell that he was not a practitioner just by looking at him, how could he defend against a cultivation level Gambling Officer, he was immediately knocked down on the ground and his kitchen knife also flew far away.
Originally, Lin Mo did not want to intervene in this matter, after all, he did not want to help a gambling addict. This kind of person could only be changed by letting him truly experience the suffering of a person, so Lin Mo did not plan to meddle in this matter.
But just at this moment, a little girl came out from the crowd. This little girl looked to be about ten years old, her clothes were also tattered, but her appearance was extremely delicate and pretty. However, when she saw Mad Zhou, she immediately started crying and called out, "Father, Father."
So it turns out that this girl was Mad Zhou's daughter. She ran to Mad Zhou's side and wanted to help him up, but when Mad Zhou saw her, his expression became extremely ugly. As if it was more painful than his injuries, Mad Zhou grabbed the girl's arm and shouted: "What happened to your mother? Is she dying? "
Li Feilong pampered her, and said: "If his performance is not bad, even if he loses, I am still willing to accept him. Princess, you can rest assured now."
Ming Yi chuckled: "I knew Great Elder doted on Ming Yi the most, Great Elder need not worry, this brat's talent and abilities will definitely make Great Elder look at him in a new light."
