"Number three, number four, and number twelve are the three strongest ones. Number one, number six, and number eleven are the weakest ones. You can bet according to my judgment. You can place a single bet, a combination bet, or a split bet … Remember, if you win, you have to give me half of it …"
Slug didn't hide his judgment. Of course, his so-called judgment was only so-so, and it was about the same level as the other gamblers present.
"It's the same as not saying anything! With your past record, I dare to bet that if I choose the other six donkeys, my chances of winning are much higher than yours … "
Now that they were familiar with each other, it was inevitable that they would attack each other. Slug wanted to refute, but he couldn't avoid the fact that he had never won anything in the donkey race!
However, he still stubbornly said, "I've won the first prize, and more than once …"
As soon as Lou Xiaoyi heard his tone, he knew what was going on. "Snot Senior Brother, can we not deceive ourselves? If I bet on twelve donkeys at once, wouldn't I also hit the jackpot with the highest payout? What's the point? The odds of winning the grand prize are only five times. If I bet one spirit stone, I'll get one and a half spirit stones. Who will I look for for the remaining ten and a half spirit stones?
I can see that the organizers are desperately trying to lower the odds of a single bet, but raising the odds of a combination bet. They're using a huge reward to attract people, and they can't wait for everyone to bet twelve times in a row …
If a donkey has a papaya hanging in front of its head, it'll run for its life. How strong are humans? It's just that they're using spirit stones, and they're using an invisible method! "
Slug said angrily, "Are you going to bet or not? You're the one who wants to come here! You're the one who doesn't know the rules! You're the one who's talking so much nonsense and pretending to know the rules of the world! If you don't want to be a donkey, then let's go back together! "
Lou Xiaoyi laughed. "Haha, it's okay to be a donkey once in a while and experience the joy of being a donkey, as long as you don't always be a donkey … Brother Slug, you go first. I'll see how you're going to bet."
Slug was disdainful. After acting all high and mighty for so long, didn't he still have to look at him?
The two of them arrived at the betting area and chose an empty spot. It was still early before the start of the game, and most of the gamblers were still anxiously calculating and debating. This place was very quiet. Only the most confident gamblers and rookies were impatient.
Slug displayed his bets. According to his judgment of the donkey's strength, he placed ten consecutive bets, all of which were three consecutive bets: first three bets, second three bets, first one bets, second two bets, and so on.
This wasn't just a question of choosing a pair of donkeys. They also had to consider their ranking. There was a requirement to arrange a combination, which was quite difficult.
Slug still had some experience. Veteran gamblers would usually choose three consecutive bets. The probability of winning was higher, and the odds were also guaranteed. They weren't like those rookies who went for ten consecutive bets or twelve consecutive bets. The odds were very attractive. If you won once, you wouldn't have to worry about the upper realm. The problem was, would you win?
Every bet was ten top-grade spirit stones, so there were a total of a hundred spirit stones. This was already considered a large sum among gamblers. Not every cultivator had the financial resources of a core disciple. For example, those Foundation Establishment cultivators used high-grade and middle-grade spirit stones to bet. There were even some who used low-grade spirit stones to bet.
"Don't think you can win in one go! Entertainment is entertainment. Small bets are fun, but large bets are harmful to the body … "Slug had the attitude of an experienced gambler.
Lou Xiaoyi thought for a moment. His personality was to pursue stability when he was small, and craziness when he was large. He touched the storage ring on his hand. It had been three hundred years since Jin Dan, and he basically didn't have any large external wealth. However, his expenses weren't large either. Orthodoxy like the Swordsman didn't have much need for external resources compared to Dharma cultivators, especially after they didn't need to inscribe sword formations!
The only time he needed materials was when he stole them for free. Therefore, after three hundred years, he had accumulated a considerable amount of wealth. As for the spirit stones, he counted them. There were about ten thousand top-grade spirit stones, and he had an average of thirty per year. This income really wasn't high.
These things weren't of much use in Yuanying, and he still had to exchange them for Jade Purity. Therefore, he had to find an opportunity to spend them!
The cultivator in charge of the reception felt as if a small mountain had been piled up on the stone table in front of him! The sight of ten thousand top-grade spirit stones piled up together was extremely shocking!
"I, I, Sir, you are …"
"Placing a bet! What, is there a limit to the amount of bets you can place in Upper Forest Valley? "Lou Xiaoyi acted like a generous guest.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator nodded like a chick pecking at rice, then shook his head. How many years had it been since he'd met such a generous guest? He really didn't treat spirit stones as spirit stones, but as stones!
"No, no limit! However, this cultivator's authority is not enough. I'll call the Martial Uncles here on behalf of the guest! "
The cultivator hurriedly sent out a message. The amount of bets this time was too large, almost comparable to the total amount of a donkey race. This wasn't something he could handle. One less spirit stone was equivalent to his entire year's salary!
"You're crazy!"
The snot bug felt that this wasn't something a normal person could do! Even if you haven't gambled before, you should have heard of it, right? With Jin Dan's level of insight, how could he do such a brainless thing?
"Ear! If you think it's inconvenient to carry around too many spirit stones, you can leave them with me! Why give them to the gambling house for free? "
Lou Xiaoyi smiled. "If I leave them with you, what are the odds? I'll definitely win this bet! "
The snot bug was completely speechless. However, he immediately understood that this guy wasn't really gambling, but setting a trap for the gambling house! Since he wanted to cause trouble, he had to have a reason. If he didn't pay enough, it wouldn't be good to fall out with him, so he had to make a big bet!
After thinking it through, the snot bug was too lazy to persuade him anymore. He thought that the next step would be to cause trouble. He felt a bit of heartache. Those hundred spirit stones were wasted. If they fought, who would pay him back?
However, what method was this guy going to use to cause trouble? He still hadn't figured it out, so he could only wait and see!
Soon, the three hosts, Jin Dan, flew over. Seeing the pile of top-grade spirit stones, they felt dizzy.
The leader walked over and bowed respectfully. This was a super big customer, so he had to serve him well.
"Honored guest, it's my honor to have you come to my Upper Forest Valley! How many spirit stones do you have here? "
It was a gambling house, so according to the rules, one couldn't inquire about the other party's name or origin. This was a rule. The gambling house especially valued privacy. They knew that the customer cared about this, so they didn't say anything to curry favor with him. If they were to become related to a certain cultivator from the Upper Forest Valley, then would they earn the spirit stones or not?
"Ten thousand top-grade spirit stones!" Lou Xiaoyi looked like a nouveau riche.
"Wait a moment. We have to check the rules of Upper Forest. Please don't blame us!"
The three of them used their divine sense to carefully check the number and quality of the spirit stones. This was an essential procedure. The Foundation Establishment cultivator offered them top-grade spirit tea. Whether they drank it or not was another matter. This was a matter of attitude!
The surrounding gamblers also realized the abnormality of this betting spot. Slowly, many people gathered around. Of course, they kept a suitable distance.
Someone exclaimed, "Oh my God! Isn't this ten thousand top-grade spirit stones? If I had this much wealth, why would I come here?
I don't know if this person is depositing his spirit stones here and slowly betting? Or is it a shuttle? "
