Chapter 1256 Gambling
Jiang Qiao felt a little strange. This behavior and words and deeds were not like his son Jiang Yue's style. There was no reason why he would choose to be tough with these gangsters.
Did this kid have any deep meaning? After a moment, Jiang Qiao realized something and seemed to understand a little bit. Jiang Yue was deliberately making noise to attract more people to watch.
Maybe my father is lurking nearby? If others don't recognize the sword pill on his son's chest, he must know it.
This is the only explanation. Otherwise, with his son Jiang Yue's character, he would definitely not have made such nonsensical actions, as if he was afraid that things would not get into trouble.
At this point, there is no need for Lao Shi to instigate the situation. The copper box itself is already in a difficult position. If we don’t do something, how will we behave in the future?
The copper box was completely put on the fire and could not be lowered.
He is different from Lao Shi. Lao Shi himself is already in a bad situation and is close to being ruined. Even if he loses some face, it will only make him worse. Anyway, his situation is already bad enough.
But as Lao Shi said, he is a person with a head and a good reputation. He is also a person with a reputation. If he is humiliated by a few mushroom people, he will really destroy his reputation.
The signboard was built with painstaking efforts, and every step was accompanied by bloodshed, which was extremely difficult. But if the signboard was destroyed, it would only take a matter of minutes.
But the opponent is obviously not that kind of brainless idiot. He is not provoked at all and does not follow his routine of competing in the ring.
Let the mushroom man fight with him in the ring. What kind of brainless mushroom man would he have to do?
The inner earth world adheres to multiple sets of rules. In large places like the Titan City-state and Jiangli City of the Demonic Flower Clan, there is a set of rules on the surface.
No matter who you are, you must abide by their rules on their territory. Private fights are definitely not allowed.
But in places that cannot be seen, in the wilderness, such as in places like the Jiangli Mountains, a different set of laws is followed, and it is more direct for the weak to prey on the strong.
Now in the Titan City-State, if Jiang Yue and the others don't go into the ring with Bronze Box and the others, they really can't do anything forced.
Once forced, it is equivalent to breaking the rules on the surface, equivalent to slapping the Titan City State in the face, and will definitely be punished.
Bronze Box knew this very well. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he who was close to breaking through his defense suddenly smiled strangely: "What a sharp-tongued mushroom man. If you don't dare to enter the ring, then tell me how you are willing to separate."
How do you compare? Don’t say that we local cowards bully you. As long as you dare to come to this arena, you can decide the way of the competition."
Jiang Yue smiled calmly: "Brother, let's not talk nonsense. If I am really better than us mushroom people, would you agree?"
Bronze Box said coldly: "Tell me what you want to fight. I have hundreds of brothers with all kinds of skills. If you, the mushroom man, can do it, our team may not be able to do it."
"We mushroom people don't know many skills, how about we compare our skills with each other?"
It's no secret that almost every mushroom man is good at earth magic. But the mushroom people's earth magic is by no means top-notch in the inner earth world, it's just average.
Performing magic on the ground?
Bronze Box couldn't help but show a cold smile: "Okay, let's do magic like this. How to calculate winning or losing? What's the winnings for the bet?"
Jiang Yue chuckled and said, "It's up to you to decide. Since I chose the content of the bet, I won't take advantage of you. You decide what the exact payoff will be."
The copper box is a bit surprising. They say that mushroom people are careless and good at calculations. How can he be so generous? Is there some conspiracy?
Bronze Box is also an old man, not a newbie. Jiang Yue is so abnormal, but it makes him a little wary.
Old Shi came up to him in a cowardly manner: "Brother Bronze Box, this mushroom man doesn't know how to live or die. It's up to you to decide the prize. Are you afraid that you won't be able to kill him?"
Bronze Box's disgust for Lao Shi at this moment even exceeded his disgust for the three mushroom men.
If this grandson hadn't been a loser and was a talker, how could he, Mr. Bronze Box, be roasted on the fire?
Copper Box rolled his eyes: "What do you want to bet on?"
Lao Shi didn't even think about it and said resolutely: "Bet your life with them. Brother Bronze Box, I remember that there is a Chuanshan clan member in your team, and he is definitely one of the best in the team of adventurers in this area of Titan City.
When you gamble on land and practice martial arts, aren't you, Brother Tongxia, sure of winning? Are you afraid of him?"
"Betting on your life?" Bronze Box looked at Lao Shi with a half-smile.
Lao Shi resolutely said: "I bet my life. Brother Bronze Box, are you really frightened by these mushroom men?"
Bronze Box nodded and said resolutely: "Okay, let's bet our lives. You started this matter, and we are here to stand up for you. Since you think we are sure of victory, bet our lives with them. Your life, and the other's.
Life."
"Brother Bronze Box, are you kidding me? It's not like I'm betting with them. I want to bet with them, of course on what I'm good at." Lao Shi's eyes were a little dodgey.
But he soon saw that the copper box was obviously not a joke.
Bronze Box's face darkened: "What? We stood up for you, but in the end you cowered and plotted against us? Old Shi, you are very courageous."
Lao Shi panicked. He knew very well that Bronze Box was something he couldn't afford to offend. If he really wanted to offend Bronze Box to death, he would never have a good life.
"But……"
"But what? Did you instigate this? Are we supporting you and standing up for you?" Tongxia asked coldly.
Lao Shi stammered: "It's true that I provoked the incident, but you didn't stand up for me. You fanned the flames and were dragged down by them. It's not entirely my fault."
"So, you don't want to bet?" Bronze Box's eyes were like daggers, staring at Lao Shi.
"I……"
"What are you? Don't you know what level my Chuanshan brothers are? What else are you afraid of? In this way, this is an opportunity to test you. If you have the courage to pass the test, I will let you join my team later.
, as long as you work hard, you will be indispensable as a squad leader."
If the copper box was just a threat, although Lao Shi would be frightened, he might not give in immediately. But with the combination of coercion and inducement, Lao Shi would be a little unable to withstand it.
His current situation is definitely at the lowest point in his life. He is a lonely ghost, and he is almost to the point where he can no longer survive.
The Copper Box has a team of hundreds of people, which is considered a front-line team in the Titan City-State, and their daily lives are very smooth.
If you can join the team of Bronze Box, for Lao Shi, it will definitely be like a mouse falling into a rice vat and winning the big prize.
"Brother Bronze Box, are you serious about this?"
"There's no joke. Besides, when have we, the bronze box, ever spoken without counting?"
Lao Shi's eyes flickered and he hesitated for a moment before he made up his mind: "Okay, I'll bet my life with them. I believe Brother Bronze Box's men will never lose your face."
After all, he was gambling on his life. Even if he knew that the Chuanshan tribe under Tongxiao were masters of earth magic and knew that the mushroom people were nothing to worry about, he was still afraid.
No matter what you bet on, once you put your life on the line, it will be a huge pressure. Even if you win the game, you will still be frightened.
What if the boat capsizes in the sewer?
The Panshan tribe is more than two or three levels higher than the Mushroom people in the inner earth world, and the Panshan tribe brother of Bronze Box is also famous.
Logically speaking, no matter how you look at it, there is no reason for Brother Tongxia to lose.
But where do the few mushroom people on the other side get their confidence and confidence? Why do they feel like these mushroom people have so much confidence?
This is also the reason why Lao Shi is frightened.
At this moment, he regretted being a bitch. Just queue up and join in the fun. It's none of his business. Why bother causing trouble with a bitch? He's already gotten to this point, and he still has the nerve to laugh at others.
Mushroom man?
This is the fate of being a bitch.
However, since he agreed to gamble his life with the copper box, Lao Shi knew that he could not go back on his words. Adventurers always have their heads tied to their waists. Once their ferocious nature is aroused, what about gambling with their lives? There is no way out, so why not?
Some bachelors.
They were muttering here, but Jiang Yue seemed very relaxed and did not rush them, and seemed very magnanimous.
After they murmured for a while, Sangou couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "What are you doing? Have we discussed it yet? If you can't afford the gamble, just admit defeat."
Tongxia smiled coldly and gestured to Lao Shi.
At this time, Lao Shi also completely let go and patted his chest: "It's decided, I'll bet my life with you. Brother Bronze Box will send people to bet with you to practice magic. If you lose, you mushroom people will all die.
.”
"Haha, what if you are the loser?"
Lao Shi sneered and said: "Go ahead and dream, the masters of the Chuanshan tribe will lose to your humble mushroom people."
"Since you are so confident, you might as well talk about it, what if you lose?"
Lao Shi shouted: "If I lose, I will pay you my life."
Jiang Yue chuckled: "It's not fair. You have to risk your life on the three of us. How can you settle accounts like this?"
"How much is the life of you humble mushroom people worth?" Lao Shi couldn't help scolding.
"How much it's worth is our business, but since we're betting, it must be fair." Jiang Yue's tone was calm, but extremely determined.
Bronze Box waved his hand to signal Lao Shi to shut up: "Okay, no need to talk nonsense. One for one, Lao Shi's life, bet your life, is it reasonable?"
Bronze Box has long seen that these three mushroom men, and this one who is more articulate and lively, should be the leader of the three. If this guy dies, the other two are not a concern, and they can do whatever they want.
Anyway, the bet was Lao Shi's life, and Bronze Box couldn't find any reason to refuse.
After clapping his hands, a subordinate came out from behind him. This person's appearance was somewhat like a lizard man, but he was obviously different from a lizard man. His limbs were slender and his head was pointier than that of a lizard man.
He doesn't look as fierce and aggressive as the lizard man, but his eyes reveal the shrewdness that the lizard man lacks.
"A Tu, this mushroom man wants to compete with us in earth magic. Go and teach him what earth magic is and let him know what kind of frog in the well the mushroom man is."
This Chuanshan tribe was taciturn and held his hands in front of the copper box to express his obedience.
"Mushroom Man, he is our contestant in the betting battle. Who do you three plan to come?"
Jiang Yue chuckled: "I'll do it."
"Okay, how do you plan to bet? Comparing the distance? Or comparing the depth of the ground, or comparing the speed?" Bronze Box asked shrewdly.
"It's better than distance, which has no end, but it's better than speed." Jiang Yue was actually not afraid of anything else. "However, there is no basis for what you say. If you lose, how do I know if you will fulfill your promise?"
Bronze Box said calmly: "I, Bronze Box, have been living in the Titan City-state for thirty years. When have I ever broken my promise? Besides, can you even think about us losing? I suggest you think more about what will happen after losing.
Get ready for the funeral."
Everyone watching the fun couldn't stand it anymore.
"There is no proof for what you say. It is best to establish written evidence and sign it on the spot."
"Yes, if you just say it, it will be difficult to restrain no matter which side goes back on it."
Not to mention, although most of the people present were adventurers from the Titan City State, they may not all have their hearts set on people like Bronze Box.
They are all a team of adventurers, and there are usually some frictions and excessive competition between them. How many people are waiting to see if they are unlucky enough to make a fool of themselves.
Although they won't openly shout out their support for the mushroom people, there is still no problem in fanning the flames.
In the end, several relatively highly respected seniors were introduced to the scene, and both parties signed a written agreement.
Once a document is signed, it will have legal effect. Once you regret it, even the Titan City-State will intervene, let alone the on-site test.
What's the matter? Are you trying to undermine the order of the Titan city-state by not honoring your bet?
After Lao Shi signed and stamped his name, he nervously said to Tongxia: "Brother Tongxia, brother Atu are absolutely sure, right?"
"Whoever you doubt, don't doubt Ah Tu." Bronze Box said calmly.
Finally, after everyone's discussion, the rules of the gambling battle were decided.
With a distance of a hundred miles, both sides use their full strength to perform the earth-moving technique. Whoever completes the sprint of a hundred miles faster will win.
The target is set in an area fifty miles away, and the referee is arranged to stay there. After they arrive there, they must obtain the token from the referee before they can return.
Fifty miles to go, fifty miles back, exactly one hundred miles.
The rules are simple and clear, and neither party has any objections.
There is also a detail issue, that is, whether the two people should do it at the same time or separately.
Some referees said that if two people start at the same time, they may stumble and make small moves midway, making the fight unfair.
Therefore, a fairer rule is to start separately. After one party completes it first, the time spent on the whole journey is calculated. The other party completes it again, and the time spent on the whole journey is also calculated. The one that takes less time per unit distance is naturally faster.
This competition system is obviously to constrain the side of the copper box to prevent Ah Tu from secretly causing harm or even attacking the mushroom man.
From this point of view, it turns out that even the referee is not entirely on the side of Bronze Box and the others.
With such a fair competition system, Bronze Box had no reason to object. The most important thing was that they had great confidence in Ah Tu and never considered losing. How could they lose to a mere mushroom man without using any means.
The order of succession for both parties must be determined by drawing lots.
In the end, Ah Tu was the first to appear and Jiang Yue was the second.
