Chapter 964: Chapter 964: Odds

Ye Qiu, Luo Yang, Li Shen, Zhu Zhiming, and Ning Yun, Zhou Shaohui, were all familiar faces, especially Ning Yun, who initially acted arrogant towards Ye Qiu, but after being fiercely beaten twice and scared once, was completely different now.

As for the cousin Ning Yun mentioned, Ye Qiu said, "Let’s meet him after dinner."

The local farmhouse duck here is still very fresh, much tastier than those city poultry.

Ye Qiu and Li Shen, along with others, sat here eating, since they were going to drive later, they didn’t drink beer.

By the time they finished the hotpot meal, it was already past nine in the evening.

When calling the waiter to settle the bill, Ning Yun had already gone to pay.

The meal cost only a few hundred yuan, not considered expensive.

When they went outside and drove up the mountain, there was a parking lot up there, which was the starting point of tonight’s race on Autumn Mountain.

Ye Qiu, Li Shen, and Zhu Zhiming got in the car and followed Ning Yun up the mountain.

About half an hour later, reaching the mountain, Ye Qiu discovered that it was located on a large flat area, and now there were about a hundred cars parked here.

Almost all were modified cars, including luxury and regular vehicles.

Following the direction map, when Ye Qiu parked his car, Li Shen said, "Brother Qiu, if you didn’t know better, you’d think this was a scenic area’s parking lot."

"Haven’t you all been here before?"

"Never even heard of it."

Clearly, Autumn Mountain was developed only in recent years, and now it’s used by these wealthy people or racers in Jinling as a place for illegal racing.

After getting off the car, Ning Yun, Luo Yang, and others also parked their cars.

Ye Qiu noticed the domestic sedan Luo Yang drove, with Luo Yang’s stature, squeezing inside was really uncomfortable.

With Luo Yang’s build, he’d at least need to drive an SUV like the Land Rover Range Rover to be comfortable.

"Brother Qiu, there are so many cars here!"

Luo Yang said.

"This is only part of them; some may have already driven off."

It was clear that when Ye Qiu and Luo Yang arrived, some had already started racing.

According to the information here, this is a road in the forest, this road stretches over forty kilometers, with only two lanes, but spans ninety kilometers back and forth, and this road goes through a long stretch of mountain pass road and a reservoir, meaning if you’re not careful or don’t pay attention, you might fall off a cliff or into the reservoir.

"Racing on this road is really dangerous; someone died here not long ago."

Ning Yun said.

Perhaps it’s exactly because of that, it makes it more thrilling.

"Brother Qiu, let’s go, I’ll take you over there, that’s where the bets are placed, you can bet on others winning or yourself winning."

The purpose of illegal racing is partly the thrill for racers, and another aspect is someone hosts the bets, making money from them.

Moreover, these bets are as exciting as the races themselves.

Arriving at this flat area, there was a simple building up ahead, now gathering quite a lot of people, both men and women.

The oldest might be over forty, the youngest in their teens, but mostly young men and women.

And since tomorrow is the National Day holiday, tonight should attract more people than usual.

"Brother Qiu, look at those odds and bets, they should be from the first round, you can still place bets now."

Ye Qiu noticed many racers’ odds on the blackboard, but he had no idea about these racers’ situations, so naturally, he couldn’t place a bet.

However, he knew the lower the odds, the stronger the racers likely were, but the lowest odds were 1 to 1.5, and the highest could reach 1 to 9.5, meaning if you bet ten thousand on a racer to win, and they actually come first, you’d profit 85,000.

But Ye Qiu understood that the hosts had definitely calculated these bets and odds very precisely.

"How long does it take them to go back and forth?"

"Here it’s ninety kilometers back and forth, according to these racers’ speeds, reaching over two hundred, even three hundred an hour, about twenty to thirty minutes per trip because some places have curves."

Ning Yun had driven the road many times during the day and night.

But at night, it’s certainly much more dangerous than during the day.

Even so, running ninety kilometers in twenty minutes is really fast, most people really wouldn’t dare, especially on winding mountain roads like these.

Ye Qiu looked at the odds above, and those modified cars, as well as the names on the cars, none of which he recognized, except one seemed like a Japanese name.

"Is that a Japanese name?"

"Brother Qiu, that’s indeed a Japanese racer, invited by the hosts, also a few with lower odds, are famous local racers in Jinling."

But in Ning Yun’s view, these people’s cars were all modified, having changed the original engine systems, even other parts, leaving perhaps only the shell unchanged.

So now he brought Ye Qiu over to see the excitement and thrill, of course, if lucky, placing a bet might earn some money.

"Let’s watch first."

Ye Qiu, Luo Yang, Ning Yun they watched, since twenty to thirty minutes passed really fast, and when they drove from the villa, it almost took them half an hour, because they weren’t driving fast just now.

Soon, Ye Qiu suddenly noticed the headlights from those vehicles in the distance and the loud noises from those modified cars.

Far away, that piercing sound was audible, just like hearing cars passing when resting at home late at night, and these sounds were clearly modified.

"It’s close!"

...

In less than five minutes, Ye Qiu saw the first red modified car fly over, then drift, quickly parking at the parking space at the finish line.

This was a red modified Mazda sports car, but Ye Qiu didn’t expect it to be the fastest, while those real luxury cars behind, like Ferrari, Porsche, Maserati, Mercedes sports cars, actually weren’t as fast as this one.

Of course, that Mazda sports car was obviously entirely modified, now only the shell remained unchanged.

And clearly, it also had a lot to do with the driver.

"Brother Qiu, that Japanese guy was impressive, took first place in 18 minutes and 24 seconds, all others were over twenty minutes."
