0051 Chapter 2 Part 1: The Shadow of Death (Section 7)
Unsurprisingly, when Zhen Cheng returned to school, she saw the swimming pool completely destroyed by the meteorite. According to rumors, all the senior students who were supposed to die did not escape.
After experiencing two changes in the outcome of the "dream" crisis, this time Zhen Cheng deliberately did not interfere in the incident, and the actual result that completely matched the "predictive dream" became a necessary piece of the puzzle for her to continue her reasoning.
After learning the identity of the imaginary enemy, Zhen Cheng realized that the danger level of the opponent seemed to exceed the limit of her willingness to challenge, and now it seemed that it was no longer the time to continue the detective game.
As she kept tapping her temples, a simple yet bold plan gradually took shape in her mind.
Later that day, at the equestrian field of St. Matar Academy, excited shouts of excitement could be heard one after another. The students formed a large circle in the open space outside the elegant equestrian class venue, and rode in the school pen or from their homes.
The famous horses were transported to gallop and compete.
Some people even took the opportunity to open a handicap, so that those rich kids who had no achievements in equestrian skills could also enjoy it together.
Most of the students who skip classes and come here to spend a lot of money are dandies with no knowledge and skills from wealthy families. While St. Matar Academy continues to export elites from all walks of life who lead the development of civilization, it also continues to create this kind of people who have no skills but no knowledge.
Waste that can always live a lifetime of luxury.
Everything is destined by nature. Students who will become elites will not fall because of the sleazy entertainment activities on campus, and dandies will not change their minds because of the unattainable achievements of their classmates.
Perhaps for this reason, the academy has no intention of interfering with these self-organized and disorderly students. As long as it does not affect others' quiet classes, the empty campus the size of a small town is free for them to do whatever they want.
The campus is a microcosm of society, and this is true in any universe. If there is any difference in Saint-Martar Academy, there is only one thing - there are no poor people here.
Even those talented students who come from poor backgrounds and receive scholarships to enter the academy based on their skills can still enjoy the mostly free luxury life on campus. And after graduation, they will not be able to live too badly with the connections they made during their student days.
Regardless of his family background, the richest student in the school, who is widely speculated by everyone, is looking at the smiling Zhen Cheng with a dark face at the moment:
"Take the fifty gold yuan you won." The petite girl with big eyes and a pair of braids, who was also dressed in elegant Chinese traditional Chinese clothes like Zhen Cheng, did not try to hide the expression of pain on her face as she gritted her teeth.
It's just that unlike Zhen Cheng's elegance, this child's body is carved with dragons and phoenixes, and the patterns are all embroidered with real gold and silver threads, blinding people's eyes. The tacky flamboyance of the nouveau riche is based on the cultural heritage of Hanfu.
It can't be covered at all.
"Cai Pixiu, you are richer than most people here, right? It's only fifty gold yuan, what's the big deal?" Zhen Cheng couldn't help laughing as she looked at the look on the other person's face that made even a money-winner like her feel distressed.
"More than fifty! You have already won three hundred and twelve gold dollars and four copper coins from me!" Cai Pixiu was furious when he heard this, and cried:
"Sure enough, we shouldn't let you academic masters get involved. Wouldn't it be better for you, a detective, to have time to solve a few more unsolved cases to make yourself in the limelight? If not, why don't you go back to your villa to review and get a few more perfect scores? I'm such a small book
The business can't stand such trouble...
Forget it, I just want to know, how do you win every bet?!"
"Small business? The name of [Universal Store] will make you cry. Speaking of which, you should know the rules better than a layman like me, right? If others make money based on their own skills, how can they reveal their own details to you, a banker?
By the way, what major do you plan to study after graduation? Are you going to take the acting major? I feel a lot of pressure and I can't compete with your acting skills." Zhen Cheng joked.
"You, you, you... If you don't tell me, I will pester you! Eat your food, drink your food, sleep with yours, until you tell me the secret of winning money!" The little guy waved his little fist and refused to let go.
Zhen Cheng scratched his head: "It's okay to tell you, but you businessmen should understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch, right? Of course, let me declare in advance that I have a relatively private trick, and you won't be able to learn it even if I explain it clearly.
Come."
"No matter, I just want to hear it. If you tell me, I will promise to sell you a rare item that I usually don't sell." Cai Pixiu's eyes lit up as if he had discovered a business opportunity.
Having taken the bait, this is what Zhen Cheng has been waiting for.
Without giving Cai Pixiu a chance to attach any conditions, she immediately said: "Master Wang, who came on stage in the second shift last time, blocked his 'favorite' girl. You know what kind of business his family is in, whether he is calculating mentally or not.
If the other horses that had been manipulated could outrun him, they would be in trouble."
Cai Pixiu curled her lips in disappointment: "So I don't want to do business with you academic masters. What's the point of making money by relying on intelligence? If other things are involved, what's the point of the bet? Just do what he does, and I'll do it every time
Wouldn’t it be a sure profit to kill all the horses with high stakes?”
Zhen Cheng rolled his eyes: "People risk their feelings and go crazy like this once, but you, the old man, point to this place to eat every day, how can you compare? Besides, Mr. Wang has done a very good job. In addition to not being able to hide it from me, he
Those opponents didn't have any doubts until the end.
If it were you, a fool who knows nothing but business, you would really have no choice but to go up and chop the horse with a knife, right?
By the way, aren't you guys guaranteed to make money by being the banker? Look, as soon as you feel that you can't win money from me, why don't you immediately come over and ask me to quit?
Why do you want to pay the price to know that my winning secrets are all fake? From the beginning, you just wanted to stop me from continuing to bet, right? Can you fool me?"
Unexpectedly, the [Universal Store] lady did not show any embarrassment after hearing this. Instead, she blinked her eyes and said seriously: "This can only explain the result of the last round. You haven't told me the method that you can't imitate even if you know it."
?You shouldn’t have… used any extraordinary means, right?”
"Hey! Is it worth it? You think everyone is risking their lives for a few gold coins like you!" Zhen Cheng complained, shrugging helplessly: "How should I put it... everyone knows this.
Here’s the secret. Our family has a premonition before making a choice.
For example, the horse racing just now. When I look at it, I will feel that some horses are tempting to bet on, while others make people feel that they are definitely not good at a glance. Of course, this kind of premonition is not that mysterious, and sometimes it works well.
At most, it can be effective in some trivial matters that have nothing to do with you." This chapter has been completed!
