Chapter 522 I'll Be a Village
"Hahaha, big melee, now there's something exciting to watch!"
Zhou Shiqi suddenly glanced at the people around him. Among them were outstanding students like him who had obtained a place in the competition, as well as ordinary students who were very self-aware and knew how to protect themselves.
Anyway, they are standing on the edge of the playground now, and they are just watching the excitement and don't take it too seriously.
Zhou Shiqi rolled his eyes and suddenly coughed and said: "Everyone, it's boring to stand here and watch them fight in groups. Why don't we play some exciting games?"
"It's quite boring!"
"What exciting game?"
"Would you rather tell me about it?"
…
With a chuckle, Zhou Shiqi turned over his hands and took out the paper and pen, and then wrote a few words eloquently.
After a long while, he pointed to the paper in his hand and said with a smile: "Let's bet on who among the dozen or so of them will get the final place in the competition?"
"Of course, what's the point of just guessing without getting lucky?"
"So, I am going to be a banker. This is the handicap I have drawn up myself. You can take a look."
After a pause, Zhou Shiqi added: "By the way, this doesn't force you to participate. Everything is voluntary. I'm just having fun and joining in the fun."
"However, please hurry up. I will only give you five minutes to think about it. You will not wait until it is too late!"
"Also, let me explain in advance that I only accept spiritual stones for gambling money!"
After hearing this, several people were originally very interested, but now they immediately gave up.
"Spiritual stone?! Is it such a big deal?"
"Yes, if we win, can you afford so many spiritual stones?"
"Yes, yes, uh..."
Seeing Zhou Shiqi flipping his hands and taking out hundreds of crystal clear spirit stones and throwing them at his feet, many people's eyes almost popped out of their heads.
"So many spirit stones?!"
"Are you fucking kidding me?"
"Hao, how about we be friends!"
…
Putting the hundreds of spirit stones at his feet into the black stone ring, Zhou Shiqi looked at everyone with a half-smile: "How about it, do you believe I have the ability to be a banker now?"
"How are you thinking about it? Time is running out!"
Seeing that everyone was hesitant, Zhou Shiqi suddenly slapped his forehead: "Oh, I forgot all about it. These people are all poor people. They don't even have enough spiritual stones to practice. There is no surplus at all."
Thinking of this, Zhou Shiqi shook his head and sighed: "That's all, for the sake of your classmates, I can accept your credit limit of up to 100 spirit stones."
"Besides, I won't charge you interest."
"That is to say, as long as you make an IOU, you can place a bet with me."
"If you win this purchase, the spiritual stones you owe me will be paid off immediately, and you can also gain a large amount of spiritual stones!"
"You have to think carefully, not every time you have such a good opportunity!"
Zhou Shiqi's proposal was very tempting, and many people were attracted by it.
This is simply a business without capital, and only a fool would not participate.
Soon, Ding Lei came to Zhou Shiqi. He handed ten spiritual stones to Zhou Shiqi, and then said: "I will ask you to borrow 100 more spiritual stones, a total of 110 spiritual stones. I will buy Liu Weiying!"
"Okay, then you sign the IOU first!" While handing the pen and paper to Ding Lei, Zhou Shiqi immersed himself in the paper in his hand and jotted down, "Ding Lei, 110 spirit stones, buy Liu Weiying, the odds are
1:0.5.”
"That is to say, if you win, you will get 165 spiritual stones."
"Of course, you have to return 100 of the spiritual stones to me."
Seeing that Ding Lei had already placed a bet, Chang Yuntao was not to be outdone. He took out 20 spirit stones and handed them to Zhou Shiqi, then raised his chin at Ding Lei: "Since you buy Liu Wei, then I will buy Xie Jiaqi to win!"
As he said that, he suddenly approached Zhou Shiqi and said with a shy smile: "Brother, I'm different from them. Can you let me borrow more spiritual stones? You don't have to worry that I won't come out yet."
Zhou Shiqi glanced at Chang Yuntao, who was smiling, and sneered in his heart. How could he have the heart to refuse such a fool who was rushing to give him a spiritual stone?
He had an idea in mind, but Zhou Shiqi frowned and pretended to be hesitant.
After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "How many spiritual stones do you want to borrow?"
Hearing this, Chang Yuntao calmly stretched out a palm.
"500 spirit stones?" Zhou Shiqi raised his eyebrows.
Shaking his head, Chang Yuntao showed a faint smile: "No, 500 spirit stones are too small to make a fuss about. If you want to play, just play with the big one."
"I want to borrow 5,000 spiritual stones."
"Hiss..." Not only Zhou Shiqi was shocked by Chang Yuntao's generosity, but the others were even more stunned.
Zhou Shiqi showed hesitation and hesitated: "This seems to be a bit too much, I..."
Chang Yuntao didn't give Zhou Shiqi a chance to refuse. He directly reached for the paper and pen and started writing the IOU.
After doing all this, he handed the IOU to Zhou Shiqi with a smile: "Brother, you must remember clearly. I have a total of 5020 spirit stones. Buy Xie Jiaqi to win."
Zhou Shiqi nodded with a sad face: "Don't worry, I remember it all. Xie Jiaqi's odds are the same as Liu Wei's, which is also 1:0.5."
After that, several more people bought Liu Wei and Xie Jiaqi with IOUs.
Although Xie Jiaqi and Liu Wei have the lowest odds in the handicap opened by Zhou Shiqi, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the strength of these two people is real.
Before Su Ruogou, Zhou Shiqi, and Chang Yuntao came, the two of them had always been firmly in the top five of the monk class, and no one could shake their status.
Of course, unexpected situations occur.
Zhou Shiqi looked at the pretty girl in front of him with a strange expression, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Sun Lin, are you sure you want to borrow 100 spirit stones to buy Zhang Yuning?"
"You shouldn't be thinking that he has higher odds and want to win an upset, right?"
Sun Lin frowned slightly and said: "I can buy whoever I want to win, and you don't care at all?"
With that said, Sun Lin put down the IOU and turned around to leave.
"Isn't this girl attracted to Zhang Yuning?" Zhou Shiqi looked at Sun Lin's leaving figure with some surprise.
After a while, Zhou Shiqi put a stack of IOUs into the black stone ring. These were all spiritual stones, so there was no room for mistakes.
Just when Zhou Shiqi was about to close the stall, Wang Keer, Duanmu Nana and Su Ruogou came to Zhou Shiqi with smiles on their faces.
Facing the three people's half-smiling expressions, a bad premonition flashed through Zhou Shiqi's heart.
Sure enough, soon the three of them said in unison: "Let's buy Zhang Yuning to win!"
With that said, Wang Keer and Duanmu Nana picked up paper and pen, swissly filled out the IOU, and each borrowed 100 spirit stones.
