Chapter 117: Bet

After placing their luggage down, the boys came to Chu Luo’s side.

Chu Luo told them where the game equipment would be placed, and the waiter brought them dinner.

After the meal, Tang Zhiyun said, “Sleep early if you are tired.”

With that, he left with the other boys.

Chu Luo went to take a shower and came out. She wasn’t sleepy, so she took her laptop and walked towards the balcony outside the bedroom.

The balcony was especially classy. Not only were there flowers and grass, but there were also swing chairs and lounge chairs.

There was even a pillow and a thin blanket considerately placed in the swing chair.

The temperature in XX City in the US wasn’t high, and it was only slightly more than ten degrees at night. Such a thin blanket was indeed necessary at this time.

Beside the thin blanket was a very short folding table that could fit a laptop.

Chu Luo wasn’t interested in watching the night scenery. She kicked off her shoes and sat in the swing chair. She put her notebook on the folding table and logged into the game while appearing offline.

Unexpectedly, all the accounts of Tang Zhiyun and the others were also online but appearing offline. It seemed that they had yet to sleep.

At this moment, the entire “Battle of Lightyears” game was abnormally lively. Everyone was discussing the next World Championship.

Chu Luo went to the World Forum to look for a while and realized that many people had put up betting posts. Each betting post was betting on a team. After looking at dozens of betting posts, she saw that none of them were betting on their “Phoenix Skies Legend” team.

At that moment, there was a message. It was from Wang Mingtao. As he was a friend, Wang Mingtao could see that Chu Luo had come online.

[Evil Dragon Crossing the River]: “(Tsk tsk tsk…) Sister Chu, are you as excited as us that you can’t sleep?”

[Evil Dragon Crossing the River]: “Senior and the rest went on a side account.”

[Evil Dragon Crossing the River]: “Sister Chu, do you want to PK? Do you want us to form a team and PK for two rounds?”

[Evil Dragon Crossing the River]: “Sister Chu. Paging Sister Chu. What are you doing?”

[Bai Ling]: “Have you looked at the World Forum?”

[Evil Dragon Crossing the River]: “No, the World Forum is filled with English words. It makes me dizzy.”

Chu Luo: “…”

[Bai Ling]: “I’ll look at the World Forum for a while more, don’t disturb me.”

After saying that, she logged out of the message window and continued to look at the forum’s betting posts.

Chu Luo realized that every banker had a huge bet and many people made bets.

The more she looked at the posts, the more unhappy she became. “Ridiculous! No one is betting that our team will win!”

After a while, she declared, “Hmph! Since there’s no one else, I’ll make a bet myself!”

Chu Luo took her phone and checked her balance. When she saw it, she frowned.

“I have only a hundred thousand yuan?”

This hundred thousand yuan was from the time Wei Wei had asked her to leave the Wei residence. After that, she’d bought some furniture, and this was the money left over.

A hundred thousand yuan was definitely not enough. However, she had a bag of jewelry on her.

Chu Luo was wondering who could be a reliable person to help her sell the jewelry. An idea flashed across her mind. She quickly searched for a number and dialed it using her new phone.

The phone rang a few times before it was picked up. A polite voice came from the other end. “Hello, I’m Jin Hui. May I know who you are?”

Chu Luo replied, “I’m Chu Luo.”

When Jin Hui heard that it was Chu Luo, his tone instantly became warm. “So it’s Master Chu. I wonder if Master Chu has moved into that residence. Have you removed that thing inside the villa?”

Chu Luo talked to him about what happened in the residence before saying, “Master Jin, I was hoping to ask you for a favor.”

Jin Hui immediately said, “Master Chu, please don’t hesitate to ask.”

Chu Luo said, “It’s like this. I want you to help me sell some gems.”

Jin Hui: “Erm…”

Chu Luo asked, “Are you not able to do that?”

Jin Hui: “No, no. I’m just saying, Master Chu, rather than selling gems, why don’t you draw a few talismans to sell? They’re much more valuable than gems.”

Only then did Chu Luo realize that in this world, a talisman sold by a real master was worth more than a thousand precious gems.

Chu Luo immediately said, “Okay, I’ll write a few Luck Enhancement Talismans and Safety Talismans and send them to you right away.”

Jin Hui was excited. “Sure, sure. When does Master Chu want the money? Why don’t I transfer 50 million yuan to you first? See if it’s enough. If it’s not enough, I’ll transfer more to you. After the talismans are sold, you can just return the money to me.”

Chu Luo replied, “Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Chu Luo went to the bedroom, took out a few pieces of yellow paper, and wrote a few talismans. Then, she asked Phoenix to teleport the talismans to Jin Hui.

In less than a minute, she received the news of the successful transfer.

Chu Luo looked at the amount on it and smiled. She went to place a bet on the losing team in every betting post.

Then, she opened a bet thread.

[I’m betting on ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ getting first place]

The banker placed his bet: 40 million yuan.

There was an official betting channel on “Phoenix Skies Legend,” so Chu Luo didn’t have to worry about the subsequent process. As long as the other side passed the review, the bet would immediately be displayed.

After Chu Luo placed her bets, she thought for a while and sent a message to [Evil Dragon Crossing the River].

[Bai Ling]: “I opened a betting thread. Tell the seniors that you guys can place your bets.”

When Wang Mingtao saw Chu Luo’s message, he didn’t even reply. He shouted at the others who were playing games, “Sister Chu has set up a thread to bet that our ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ will get first place. Everyone, quickly, place your bets.”

The others, who were playing fiercely, didn’t care about their opponents anymore. They turned on the automatic mode and logged into the World Forum’s betting zone.

Coincidentally, the thread that Chu Luo had applied for was just released.

“Wow! Sister Chu is generous. She actually made a bet…” Wang Mingtao leaned against the computer and used his hand to count the zeros behind the amount. “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight… F*ck! Sister Chu actually made a bet of 40 million yuan!”

Xie Minghai concluded, “Little Junior Sister is indeed a wealthy lady!”

Yu Lei: “No matter what, I must make this bet. Wait… I’ll see how much money I have left in my card.”

Xu Qingfeng also quietly took out his phone to check how much money was on his card.

Without hesitation, Tang Zhiyun placed his bet.

He said, “I also think we’ll win, so I put all my money into it.”

Xie Minghai craned his neck to take a look and clicked his tongue. “Boss, aren’t you going to leave some money for your living expenses?”

Tang Zhiyun said without hesitation, “No, I believe that we can win.”

Xie Minghai replied, “Alright, I’ll follow in your footsteps, Boss. I’ll bet everything on our team.”

Yu Lei: “I’ll bet too.”

Xu Qingfeng transferred all the money on his card.

Wang Mingtao was even more direct. He took his phone and called his father. Once Mr. Wang picked up the call, he told him about it.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Wang was straightforward. “Bet! Definitely! Wait, I’ll transfer five million yuan to you.”

Then he hung up.

Wang Mingtao looked at the call that was hung up and muttered to himself in disbelief, “When did my old man become so straightforward!”

Chu Luo looked at the stakes and smiled.

[Bai Ling]: “I will make you guys get back dozens of times more than what you betted.”

The moment Chu Luo posted this betting thread, it instantly caused a sensation on the Internet.

“To think that someone would bet so much on ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ winning. I’m going to bet on their loss just for this bet.”

Everyone who saw this thread bet on “Phoenix Skies Legend” losing with similar thoughts.

In less than half an hour, this post was pushed to eighth place on the trending forum.

As soon as the post was uploaded to the trending topics list, more people saw it.

Inside one of the participating teams:

“Pfft! This post must have been opened by the team members of ‘Phoenix Skies Legend.’ If they want to win, we’ll tell them what it feels like to lose. Bet on their loss with everything you have.”

“If you want to bet, bet more. Even if we can’t get much money after splitting the winnings eventually, it’s good to teach them a lesson.”

“That’s right. We want that person to see that other than him, no one else in the Empire can compare to us.”

“I’ll bet five million yuan.”

“I’ll bet six million yuan.”

There were several such teams.

Another 20 minutes later, the bet rose to third place on the trending list.

The merchants who had been staring at the thread also noticed it.

The merchants thought a lot.

“It’s obvious that ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ will lose. If everyone bets on their loss, we won’t be able to get much. Forget it, forget it. We won’t join them.”

However, as soon as this thought appeared, a piece of world news suddenly exploded.

Before the news spread, there was the sound of gold coins entering someone’s pocket.

Everyone subconsciously held their breaths, because everyone knew that the appearance of this sound proved that a super big shot had placed a bet.

World news:

[Anonymous person placed a bet of two billion yuan on the victory of ‘Phoenix Skies Legend.’]

………

The world suddenly became very quiet.

Everyone sitting in front of the computer let their mouths fall wide open and their eyes wide open in shock.

The merchants were the first to react.

“Quick, place your bet!”

“Since someone is giving us money for free, we’d be fools to miss the chance!”

“Looks like there’s a wealthy sugar daddy backing ‘Phoenix Skies Legend.’ This proves that [Bai Ling] is a big shot ranked in the top ten in the world.”

“That’s impossible. I’ve already checked. The people ranked second to tenth don’t have any records of communication with the Empire. There aren’t even any people or managers around them. That must not be the case.”

“Since none of them are it, all the more the elusive God Y can’t be it!”

“So someone is deliberately trying to muddle our vision.”

“Check the IP address of the person who’d placed the bet immediately.”

“I can’t find anything. A hacker had immediately checked his IP. This person is obviously an online expert. His anti-detection ability is too awesome.”

“In that case, I’ll play a little more.”

Then…

Tens of millions betting on the loss of “Phoenix Skies Legend” flowed in.

The boys in the next room couldn’t sit still anymore and rushed to Chu Luo’s side.

They stared at her laptop, their mouths forming an O shape.

After a while.

Xie Minghai patted his pounding heart and took a few deep breaths before saying, “Holy shit! Who exactly is the big shot who placed a bet of two billion yuan on us?”

Tang Zhiyun clenched his fists. “Two billion yuan is too tempting. It hasn’t even been two hours, and there are already more than three billion yuan placed to bet on our loss!”

Yu Lei suddenly jumped up and down and swore with his fist. “Since so many people are betting on us losing, we will win for them to see. We will ruthlessly slap their faces and make them cry!”

Just as the three of them finished speaking, Wang Mingtao suddenly raised his voice and exclaimed, “Everyone, look! Someone is actually betting that we can win. Wow! And there’s more than one!”
