C522 A sudden contestant
Chang Sheng pretended to be Mo as he swaggered towards the biggest casino on West Five Road. He had only walked for a short while, but a familiar and graceful figure had already appeared in front of him.
"Zhang Qin?"
Chang Sheng's heart was in a daze. Seeing that the competition was going to be held tomorrow, he had actually reverted back to his original appearance, and wandered the streets.
In her line of sight, Zhang Qin should have sensed that someone was paying attention to her. Turning her head slightly, Zhang Qin's eyes suddenly froze.
"Mr Cheng Mo."
Zhang Qin called out, she suddenly moved her legs and quickly walked to Chang Sheng's side.
"Mr Cheng Mo, it's been a long time since I last saw you. Tomorrow is the day of the martial arts competition, are you here to watch your junior brother and junior nephew fight?" Zhang Qin looked over.
"I'll just take a stroll and bet on it." Chang Sheng did not try to hide anything from the woman in front of him. He knew that even if he did not say anything, with Zhang Qin's past performance, she would definitely follow him.
"How many bets do you want to place? Mr Cheng Mo, are you going to go to the Wonder House as well? " Zhang Qin's body moved closer.
was surprised to hear that, Wonder House, what does that have to do with the bet? There were two of the most mysterious buildings in the capital that he knew about. One of them was Heavencraft Tower, while the other one was Wonder House. Wonder House, that is a place to barter with things, why is there a betting table open at the Martial Competition this time?
But the opening of the Wonder House was definitely larger than that of an ordinary gambling den. Forget it, he would first go to the Wonder House for a look.
As he thought about this, Chang Sheng did not express it. Instead, he lightly nodded.
Seeing the other party nod his head, the smile on Zhang Qin's face became even more brilliant: "Mr Cheng Mo, it just so happens that I want to go to the Wonder House. Let's go together."
Chang Sheng couldn't think of a reason to reject his offer, and at the same time, wanted to see what kind of tricks this mysterious woman, who was in no way inferior to the Ying Wu Hou s, was trying to play with Gu Tianmo.
Seeing that the other party had not rejected him, an extremely moving smile instantly emerged on Zhang Qin's beautiful face. For a moment, the eyes of the passersby on the main street all glazed over.
However, there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the capital city. On the streets, even if some people saw that the man with the beautiful woman in front of them looked very ordinary, they did not come looking for trouble. Moreover, tomorrow was the day of the martial arts competition, so it was not a wise decision to cause trouble here.
Zhang Qin seemed to not have the slightest idea how captivating and stunning she looked just now, as she walked right next to the man in front of her. As she walked, she asked, "Mr Cheng Mo, who do you think will win this competition? Tell me, how about I bet with you and win some small money? "
Chang Sheng's heart was moved, this woman was really going to probe his mouth.
After thinking for a moment, Chang Sheng opened his mouth and said, "Naturally, it will be my junior brother Chang Sheng.
"Chang Sheng?" Zhang Qin covered his red lips in shock and looked at the man beside his with a puzzled expression. She never expected that the other party's answer would be so definite. But Cheng Mo didn't look like someone who would spout nonsense. Since he said that Chang Sheng would become the champion, and even said it so boldly and righteously, then Chang Sheng must have some secret that he didn't know about.
Chang Sheng chatted nonchalantly with Zhang Qin as he quickened his pace to walk forward. Very quickly, he arrived at the door of Wonder House.
The entire structure of the Wonder House and the Heavencraft Tower were somewhat similar. However, the Wonder House seemed to be a little smaller than the Heavencraft Tower, but Xiao Gui was younger, so the Wonder House seemed to be even more prominent outside. The entire building was white, as if it was made entirely out of white jade.
At this time, there were very few people coming out of the Wonder House gate, but there were quite a few people entering.
Chang Sheng swept his eyes across the people who were continuously entering the Wonder House, and was shocked to find that the clothes of these people were obviously of the highest grade, and they were all clothing and tools, but he almost did not have any impression of these people.
"Sir, please show me your jade token."
Just as Chang Sheng was about to enter the vicinity of the Wonder House Tower, a person suddenly blocked his path. It was clear that this person was one of the Wonder House's guards.
"Innate Stage …"
Chang Sheng lifted his eyes to look at the fellow in front of him, only to realize that this person was at least a person with Innate Stage. After he had entered the Heaven Defying Stage, even if the other party did not make a move, as long as the other party did not make a move, he could see the level of the other party's strength.
But this person in front of him, he could not see his opponent's strength, so from this, it could be seen that his opponent was at least a Innate Stage expert.
Just a casual guard and it was actually an existence of Innate Stage. This Wonder House was indeed not ordinary, but it was a jade tablet, something that he did not have.
Just as Chang Sheng was feeling a headache coming on, he raised his hand and took out a round white jade, flashing it in front of his opponent's eyes.
Although it was just a flash, the guard didn't even check and immediately retreated to the side.
Without anyone to stop them, Chang Sheng and Zhang Qin quickly entered the Wonder House.
The moment he walked into the Wonder House s, he suddenly heard clamoring noises. At the same time, an extremely large hall appeared in his view, and the size of the hall was even larger than the hall on the first floor of the Heavencraft Tower.
In the center of the hall, there was a wooden board hung high up in the air. On the board, there were countless large black words written. The words were extremely large, allowing people to clearly read them from afar.
"Champion guessing."
From afar, Chang Sheng could see the four big words written on the wooden tablet in the middle.
Looking further down, there was another line that was a bit smaller, but it was still large enough to be seen in black.
"Xie Tianze, odds are 1: 8!"
When Chang Sheng saw these words, his heart immediately shook. This odds was actually below ten. In this competition, according to his knowledge, there were more than two hundred thousand participants, and it was not just the people within the Daqi Dynasty, even some of the experts from the neighboring and remote nations had come to participate. With so many people participating, the Wonder House had actually raised a person's payout below ten.
When Chang Sheng was still on Earth, one of his few hobbies was football. Back then, he had watched a lot of football, so he had a little exposure to football games.
At that time, there were three big football and gambling companies on Earth, and among these three gambling companies, the one who was the most proficient at getting the most money was actually their actuary, counting the points obtained from every match, it was the champion of every cup competition. The actuaries were all very powerful. They had to let the people who bet feel that they had to make sure that the betting table they opened would allow the gambling companies to earn money without losing any money. At the same time, they had to make sure that everyone placed their bets on the betting table.
For example, in the World Cup, if the Korean team won the championship 1: 10, no one would choose this, let alone 1: 10, even if it was 1: 20, no one would bet on it.
Therefore, the betting companies opened a betting table to let people feel that there was a very good chance of winning, only then would others place their bets.
Although this was the Wonder House competition, not a gambling company, it was still possible that someone from the Wonder House would dare open a competition, so they definitely had to have meticulously calculated everything, especially this kind of martial competition that had a participation of over two hundred thousand people. Most likely, from the moment the martial competition was announced to be held, they had already calculated all kinds of odds and ends.
Since Wonder House dared to offer this kind of betting table to someone he had never heard of before, it must be because of a large reason. Just by the rate of the betting, if there were no accidents, then this person would probably be his biggest competitor.
Chang Sheng continued to read along with the words on the wooden tablet.
"Xie Tianze, the right-hand man under the Ying Wu Hou, everyone knows that Ying Wu Hou has sent three generals to participate in the competition, among them the vanguard general Shi Rui, the guard Chen Tianyao and the general Mu Yan. Everyone was guessing that the strongest among the three people who were discussing would be the mediator, but everyone doesn't know that the strongest person sent by the Ying Wu Hou to participate in the competition was one of the two generals he relies on the most, Xie Tianze."
"Xie Tianze, the general that travels with the Ying Wu Hou all year round, and every time the Ying Wu Hou returns to the capital to report on their duties, the one in charge of the army outside will always be Xie Tianze."
Seeing this, Chang Sheng finally understood why Wonder House gave Xie Tianze such a high betting rate. Xie Tianze didn't introduce too much, and didn't even introduce him with any glorious deeds, just stated his position under Ying Wu Hou, but relying on a few things was enough.
One of the most trusted people in the Ying Wu Hou, the one who could make the Ying Wu Hou leave the army and entrust the army to someone, was that not enough?
If his power was not strong enough, would the Ying Wu Hou entrust it to him? Moreover, under the hands of the Ying Wu Hou, there were a lot of talents. If one's strength was insufficient, then they wouldn't be able to scare the group of geniuses. Someone who could make the geniuses obey their orders willingly must be a top-notch expert.
However …
Chang Sheng then turned to Xie Tianze and introduced the last part of the note, his heart becoming weird.
"General Xie Tianze was not able to participate in the competition, but today, Ying Wu Hou suddenly informed the Emperor that General Xie Tianze was participating in the competition." General Xie Tianze was not participating in the competition, but today, Ying Wu Hou suddenly told the Emperor that General Xie Tianze was.
The Ying Wu Hou did not let Xie Tianze come before, and adding him in at the last moment, what did this mean? Ying Wu Hou, are the people he sent before not enough? So he had to invite Xie Tianze, but at this time, today...
