“Look at him, all smug.

Looks like he’s got tonight in the bag!”

Standing beside, Tang Xiao couldn’t help but mutter softly.

“Who cares, with such low odds, we’re better off not playing!”

Wu Jie chuckled playfully, draping his arm over Tang Xiao’s shoulders and sauntered over leisurely.

“Haha!

Why did you two show up so late?

Are the dishes at the open-air restaurant that delicious?

I’m already sick of them!”

Kun Qianxi said and with a gesture of his hand, beckoned the two to sit down.

“How could we have the energy to bet on football and watch the game if we don’t eat our fill?”

Wu Jie said with a light smile, and he and Tang Xiao took their seats.

Tonight’s seating arrangement was similar to last night’s.

Only this time, the table had been switched out for a large oval gambling table, even bigger than a pool table.

Fang Guozhi wasn’t there to witness the event again, instead the casino’s dealer sat at attention with a laptop next to the table.

There were quite a few distinguished guests at the same table, all wearing smart bracelets on their wrists at a glance.

Wu Jie recognized two or three of these guests, feeling as though he had seen them in the news before.

“Hey, hey, hey…

Silence!

Silence!!”

Kun Qianxi gestured for quiet, shouting loudly.

Finally.

The chatter inside the large betting hall came to a halt.

The waitstaff turned off the sound of the live broadcast on TV, bringing an extra hush over the room.

Pairs of eager, combative eyes concentrated on Kun Qianxi.

Everyone knew Kun Qianxi was addicted to gambling, but his card skills were terribly poor.

Many of the distinguished guests present had won money from him.

So…

In many people’s eyes, Kun Qianxi was a walking jackpot!

“I’m delighted to have gathered with so many betting enthusiasts tonight to watch and bet on the game!”

“The World Cup only happens once every four years, creating a rare betting opportunity!”

“So I, Kun Qianxi, in high spirits today, have prepared six hundred million Gold Coins for betting, two hundred million per match!”

“People say I make money easily, but where’s the thrill in that when football betting pays off faster?”

“This newlywed couple next to me, they’re quite something.

They won a hundred million Gold Coins from me in last night’s opening game!”

“A hundred million, folks!

When we used to play cards, a few ten, a few hundred million playing, how long would it take to win or lose a hundred million?”

…

Kun Qianxi’s enthusiasm was soaring, like a general rousing his troops before a great battle, filled with zeal.

After the rules were announced, under his highly emotive encouragement, many guests got excited.

Kun Qianxi had put forward six hundred million Gold Coins for betting, and the dealer on site confirmed his account had sufficient funds.

So…

What were they waiting for?

With fortune favoring the bold, it was time for big bets and big wins!

No sooner had Kun Qianxi finished speaking, many people began to declare their stakes.

One hundred million, two hundred million, five hundred million…

The tycoons able to come on this cruise weren’t short of cash.

Therefore, those oil wells in the desert were just freaking money printers.

Who could compete with them?

When they spoke up, it started at five hundred million Gold Coins.

As they say,

Poverty limits one’s imagination.

Wu Jie truly felt today that the extravagant lives of these top tycoons were more than just about money and luxury.

They simply didn’t regard money as money.

Ordinary people couldn’t earn a hundred million Gold Coins in a lifetime.

But here…

To bet with a hundred million Gold Coins was considered downright modest.

However…

If you think about it, it’s not that surprising.

If you earn money at breakneck speed, you should spend it lavishly.

For the average person, earning ten thousand a month is not easy.

During festivals, playing mahjong for five or ten is just a way to have fun and unwind.

But for the people here, almost all involved in highly profitable monopolies, making one or two hundred million a month is considered low.

And for football and card betting, what’s a few billion to play with?

The most typical is the grand merchant Kun Qianxi.

His house is nothing less than a castle.

Housing lions, seals, and many other rare animals.

Twenty billion Gold Coins in cash, filling an entire room, they were freaking molding.

Anyway.

Poverty limits one’s social circle and horizons too!

Watching as many people eagerly quoted their bets and prepared their accounts, rubbing their hands in glee, with fighting spirit blazing…

After glancing at Tang Xiao, Wu Jie also made his stance clear.

“For the first match, let’s start with a bet of one hundred million Gold Coins, and then decide what to do with the remaining two matches when the time comes!”

As soon as Wu Jie had spoken, Kun Qianxi seemed displeased.

“Hey, young man, aren’t you being a bit too cautious!”

“What we’re playing tonight is about the thrill, the excitement of the bet!”

“You two won a hundred million Gold Coins just last night, why not keep up the spirit tonight?”

Wu Jie shook his head and said with a smile, “The first match is obviously not that interesting, a small bet will do!”

“Wula-Gui vs Egypt, it’s clear that Wula-Gui will win!”

“South American teams have subtle skills and a good playing style, Egypt simply has no chance of winning!”

Kun Qianxi was at a loss for words at this statement.

His lips wriggled as he chewed on chocolate over and over again.

His gaze swept over the others, and they all seemed to agree.

“Since that’s the case, let’s make it more exciting: Wula-Gui gives one goal, and then we bet on win, lose, or draw.

How about that?”

With a loud shout from Kun Qianxi, it was as if he lit a barrel of gasoline.

Boom.

It sparked a heated discussion among the crowd.

Initially, everyone was optimistic about Wula-Gui, considering them the stronger team by a slight margin!

But now, Kun Qianxi suddenly changed the rules of the game.

Give one goal and then bet again.

This meant that if Wula-Gui won the match with a score of 1-0, the bet would result in a draw, as they had given away one goal.

If the match ended in a draw, the bet would mean a loss for Wula-Gui.

And with that,

the betting became somewhat unpredictable.

After all, anything is possible in a soccer match.

A player could get injured suddenly, be sent off with a red card, or the opponents could play exceptionally well…

Teams that make it to the top 32 of the World Cup don’t have too weak skills.

Unlike the national team, which has focused on losing for twenty years, never winning a match.

Moreover,

the rules set by Kun Qianxi were particularly tricky.

Win, lose, or draw, each person could only bet on one outcome.

The entry bet was a hundred million Gold Coins, and by guessing correctly, you could divide the money bet on the other two outcomes.

For example, if several people bet on Wula-Gui ‘winning’,

they would take all the money bet on ‘losing’ and ‘drawing’.

Then they’d distribute the winnings according to the proportion of their own initial stakes.

Kun Qianxi’s sudden change of rules

left everyone feeling uneasy, and they began to discuss fervently how to place their bets.

…

The arguments were many and the noise was loud.

But betting on the game was the last thing on Tang Xiao and Wu Jie’s minds.

“It’s no good to make a move now!

He’s still not eating or drinking, and he’s got bodyguards around him.

How do we kill him?” Tang Xiao whispered to Wu Jie.

Wu Jie glanced over at Kun Qianxi, who seemed as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

“Don’t worry yet, let’s wait until after the match.

With the winners happy and the losers losing their temper, it’s bound to be more chaotic than now!”

“Once things get messy, we’ll have our chance!”

Tang Xiao nodded slightly, but then asked immediately,

“But this match…

how do we bet?

We can’t not place a bet on the first match!”

Although Tang Xiao understood soccer, she had developed an inexplicable trust in Wu Jie since he had won the bet with an upset score last night.

Moreover, it seemed to be a natural tendency for women.

While single, no matter how independent and strong-willed they may be, or how decisive and clever,

once they fall in love and get married, they tend to develop a sense of dependence on men.

Just like Tang Xiao now, who used to be domineering and autocratic, had grown accustomed to thinking less and depending more on Wu Jie.

Wu Jie was not the slightest bit nervous or agitated, but instead smiled casually,

“Just bet randomly!

After all, we won it from Kun Qianxi, so an even outcome wouldn’t be too bad if loss doesn’t come into play.”

“If we don’t participate, how else are we going to stay here and look for the right opportunity?”

With that, Wu Jie went to place his bet.

It’s just money, isn’t it?

Even if he lost three hundred million in three matches, he was ready to see it through to the end…
