"Place a bet?" Lou Xiaoyi's interest was piqued.
Slug's mouth twitched. When it came to betting on donkey racing, he was a veteran. Although he hadn't done it for a hundred years, his experience was incomparably rich. Back in the Upper Forest Valley, he was one of the famous gamblers. He had made a lot of bets, and it was unknown how much better he was than this guy who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
"You don't even know what the rules are, and you want to make a bet to earn money?"
Lou Xiaoyi laughed. "Don't I still have you? Come, tell me … "
Slug had no choice but to give this layman some general knowledge about donkey racing. "When it comes to donkey racing, there are actually two most important points.
First, you have to choose a donkey that is strong enough! After all, if everyone's desire for the papaya is at the same level, the final winner will definitely be the strongest donkey! This is because they have to run a full ten laps on this track!
This was not a simple matter. Even if a Jindan Stage cultivator could judge the muscles, bones, blood vessels, and tendons of a donkey through his Divine Sense, the organizer would definitely choose a dozen donkeys that were closest to each other in terms of strength to compete with each other. After they were carefully selected, the gamblers' judgment space was actually very limited. They could only rely on their own judgment!
In this aspect, Body Meridians are the best, and other orthodoxies are slightly inferior. Thus, there is a saying in donkey racing: if you don't know which donkey to choose, just follow the body cultivators and choose! "
Lou Xiaoyi doubtfully asked, "Is there really no possibility of tampering with the donkeys?"
Slug explained, "No! This creature is the stupidest, most stubborn, and most unreasonable spirit beast I have ever seen! Any kind of control is not worth mentioning in front of their desire for the papaya, and this is in terms of their mental state.
In terms of their physical state, donkey racing has been going on for tens of thousands of years, and cultivators have a deep understanding of it. With their divine sense, there is nothing that can be hidden from tens of thousands of eyes!
Furthermore, it is completely unnecessary! The organizers can earn a huge amount of spirit stones from donkey racing, so why would they be willing to take the risk of controlling it? Once it's discovered, our reputation will be damaged and our customers will decrease. The loss is much greater than the loss of a single competition. So, you don't have to worry about this problem at all. "
Lou Xiaoyi nodded. "That's true. I was being too paranoid. As long as a place like a casino can gather popularity, there's no need to cheat. It's a business that's guaranteed to be profitable."
Slug snorted. At least this guy wasn't stupid. "The second point is the betting rules.
Twelve donkeys in a round, this was a small round; thirty-six hunchbacks, this was a big round, the odds were different. There were two rounds a day, one big and one small. For example, the round that just ended was a big round, then the next round would be a small round, the odds were much lower.
There were many ways to place bets, including single bets and combination bets. Single bets were to bet on which side would be the first or which side would be the last … There were many combinations of bets, such as the top three? Wei San? Top five? Wei Wu? Wait a minute, the more combinations there were, the higher the odds. The possibility of guessing correctly was small.
Among them, the one with the highest odds was twelve consecutive bets! That is to say, it's almost impossible for you to guess the ranking of all the hunchbacks. In any case, I haven't heard of it in ten thousand years. It's just a gimmick! "
Lou Xiaoyi was quite serious. "Then how much should I pay?"
Slug laughed. "A hundred thousand times! That is to say, if you bet one spirit stone on twelve consecutive bets and luckily win, you'll get a hundred thousand spirit stones! Isn't that very tempting? You don't really think you can win, do you? "
Lou Xiaoyi chuckled. "Everyone has to have dreams. Otherwise, what's the difference between you and a salted fish? What if you win? I'm a little worried that your flying boat might not be able to hold all of them! "
Slug didn't want to say anything more. This was a madman. How could you communicate with a madman normally?
The two of them came to the donkey pen. Almost all the gamblers had gathered here. They needed to make the most detailed and profound observation of the twelve donkeys to judge the minute differences between each donkey. Finally, they would use this as the basis for their bets!
Of course, they couldn't get close or touch the donkeys. From a considerable distance, they used their divine sense to examine the donkeys.
Lou Xiaoyi was also mixed in with the crowd. However, his ability in this aspect was very awkward. He didn't understand the dao of spirit beasts and was unfamiliar with donkeys. He was far from being comparable to the other gamblers. Seeing that everyone else was concentrating on the donkeys, he poked Slug next to him.
"Hey, why do I feel like these twelve donkeys all look the same? Apart from the numbers on them being different … "
Slug was very disdainful. "Brute! Crude! Of course you don't understand such profound things. You only know how to wave your knife! Don't bother me. Wait for me to sort out my thoughts. You can just bet with me. I don't dare to say that I'm 90% sure, but I don't think I'll be too far off. Back then … "
Lou Xiaoyi turned his head and ignored him. After bragging for so long, he didn't even have a decent result. With Slug's personality, if he had guessed correctly once, he would have bragged about it long ago. Why would he say something so insignificant now? He was also good at talking, bullying him for not understanding the dao!
Thus, he continued to observe the donkeys. Muscles, bones, blood vessels, and tendons. It wasn't that he didn't understand at all. At the level of Jin Dan, he still had the basic ability to observe and judge. It was just that he wasn't so detailed. Moreover, it was his first time coming into contact with such creatures. He didn't know which muscles were more important in a competition.
Thus, he could only observe what he really understood, such as fate!
Since they were spirit beasts, they naturally had fate. Lou Xiaoyi could clearly see this. He was the only one among the tens of thousands of cultivators present. Moreover, he had the ability to change things!
In his eyes, the fate of these spirit donkeys was pitifully little compared to humans. It was also in line with the position of these creatures. Moreover, he could vaguely determine that the fate of these donkeys had a lot to do with the papaya!
No wonder these things were so desperate when they saw the papaya. It seemed that they weren't stupid. They knew that the papaya was a great supplement for them and could determine the development of their spiritual intelligence …
Very interesting!
He suddenly had a very interesting idea. If he erased the fate of these donkeys, would they still desperately chase after the papaya?
It was worth a try! A crazy and bold idea took shape in his mind. If the luck of these twelve donkeys was decreased one by one, would it affect their desire for the papaya? Would it affect the results of the competition?
Judging from the results of the previous competition, the thirty-six donkeys didn't have a big gap in the end. They had to run ten laps around a large circle with a diameter of nearly a hundred miles. In the end, they didn't completely pull away from each other. This could only mean that the difference in the physique of the donkeys was very small!
Then, could the spiritual needs of the donkeys be a decisive factor in the results?
Comparing a donkey that desperately wanted to eat the papaya and a donkey that could eat or not eat, who would run faster? Was there a need to guess?
