The Fisherman Takes the Bait
"It's that scary?" Yu Ren jumped in fright after hearing the meat seller's words.
"Heh heh, there's nothing scary about it, it's exciting!" The butcher waved his hand and smiled.
"It won't reach the audience, will it? That's pretty scary, maybe we shouldn't watch … "Yu Ren was a coward, it didn't matter to him if others fought or not, but he didn't want to drag himself into it.
This was the tragedy of the people at the bottom of the society- all they thought about was when they'd be able to eat and wear warm clothes, and what happened to others had nothing to do with them. Old man Yu Ren was this kind of person.
"Look at your cowardly face! How could they fight in the audience seats? I've been here a few times already, you can watch later! "The butcher smiled.
At this moment, a young man sitting beside Yu Ren spoke up as well! This was someone Little Scorpion had arranged, his status was similar to the butcher.
"Not only is it exciting, but you can also make a fortune! Look at me, I didn't even have a cent, but after watching a few matches, I'm a millionaire now! "The young man said proudly.
"What? You became a millionaire without a cent? How is that possible? " Yu Ren paused- he wasn't interested in the underground fights, but after hearing the young man say that he became a millionaire from penniless, he was interested! Yu Ren wanted to win the five million lottery even in his dreams, so he was very interested in these kinds of things!
"Heh heh, what's impossible?" The young man looked at Yu Ren with disdain, "Do you know what gambling is?"
"Gambling?" Yu Ren paused.
"You've never played before, right? I've played this before too … "The meat seller laughed and told Yu Ren the rules of the bet.
Yu Ren understood, but he was still scared, "If I lose, wouldn't I get nothing?"
"Hey! Isn't this just gambling? If you buy a lottery ticket and don't win, wouldn't you get nothing? "The young man said with disdain," A country bumpkin like you shouldn't have any money! I'll show you! "
Yu Ren didn't say anything, but he was moved. Going from penniless to a millionaire was a legend!
With that in mind, Yu Ren paid close attention to the young man and the meat seller's actions!
Before the match started, someone had already started collecting bets on a tablet computer. The young man directly bet 100,000 on someone called "Red Dragon" to win, and the butcher had bet 10,000 on "Red Dragon"!
Yu Ren looked at how confident they were and couldn't help but be tempted. He asked, "Can I bet ten yuan?"
"Puchi!" Hearing Yu Ren's words, the young man burst into laughter, his eyes wide open, "I say, old man, the lowest bet here is ten thousand, you only have ten, who's going to bet for you?"
"Ah … I see …" Yu Ren blushed, but he was also shocked. Ten thousand, that was half a year's worth of income, and he was taking it out to bet? Wasn't there something wrong with that? What he didn't understand was why the butcher and the young man were betting so confidently. Could it be that the "Red Dragon" they were betting on was the ever-victorious general?
"Heh, I say, Old Yu, listen to me, hurry up and bet, or you'll regret it later!" The butcher looked at Yu Ren and reminded him.
"That … That Red Dragon, is he strong?" Yu Ren couldn't help but ask.
"That's pretty strong!" The butcher curled his lips, "Three matches yesterday, he won every single one, he didn't even give his opponent a chance to breathe. I'm regretting it yesterday, that's why I bet ten thousand on the last match. If I had bet before, I'd be a millionaire right now!"
"Is that so …" Yu Ren was tempted, but he was still worried, "Nine out of ten bets are cheating, if that's the case, wouldn't the owner of this arena lose his money?"
"I don't know about that. This kind of thing isn't done behind the scenes. It's a real fight. If you don't fight to the death, there's no way to tell who's the winner. So, even if you want to fake it, there's no way, right?" The butcher said.
"Oh …" Yu Ren was tempted, but he was still very cautious, he wanted to wait and see!
The result made Yu Ren a little depressed, but at the same time, he was looking forward to it! There was no doubt that the Red Dragon won! In just a few moves, he had defeated his opponent on the stage!
Moreover, the young man and the butcher weren't wrong. They were indeed fighting for real, because the Red Dragon's opponent's head had already been blown off by the Red Dragon!
This kind of bloody scene scared Yu Ren, but he didn't sympathize with the people who were killed. As far as he was concerned, since he came to fight in the underground arena, he should have expected this kind of ending. These people died, what did it have to do with him?
What made Yu Ren depressed was that he didn't listen to the young man and the butcher's suggestion and bet! If he had bet ten thousand on the Red Dragon, wouldn't he have twenty thousand now? The young man's five hundred thousand turned into one million, and the butcher's ten thousand turned into twenty thousand, Yu Ren was really envious!
Such a good chance to get rich, and he missed it! If he had bet ten thousand … He would've earned ten thousand, and that would've been half a year's worth of income …
But at the thought, Yu Ren was even more depressed. He couldn't help but blame himself. Yu Ren, why couldn't you be more daring? If you had bet five hundred thousand, wouldn't you have a million?
But … Yu Ren's depression deepened at the thought! He could barely take out ten thousand, but if he were to take out five hundred thousand, wouldn't that be a fantasy? He'd have to sell his house! But his house was rented, it wasn't even his!
The new round of bets began, and it was still the Red Dragon against another unknown fighter, Aries!
Yu Ren wanted to bet as well, but he didn't have a single cent with him, how could he? The young man used bank transfer, and the butcher used cash, but Yu Ren didn't have any cash with him, and he didn't have the phone transfer function. Even if he wanted to bet, he couldn't!
He regretted it! Even if he only brought ten thousand, it would've been fine! Why didn't he have a single cent!
