The dark environment obscured many people's faces.
If they weren't familiar with each other, it would be difficult for anyone to see each other's faces clearly in the dim light.
There was little communication in this gambling arena, only bursts of cathartic yelling.
Even the middle-aged man who was passing the time with Zhang Xuezhou in a low voice would occasionally let out a few dirty words.
"How can those of us who run businesses honestly keep up with the times? All kinds of novelty gadgets are constantly coming out, taking away our savings in waves." The middle-aged man cursed in a low voice: "This is a shitty world!"
"Then we at least got corresponding benefits," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"It is inevitable that there will be benefits," the middle-aged man said: "But it is also like a shackles, which keeps us people locked and have to work hard to deal with it."
"That is" Zhang Xuezhou agreed.
“The saddest thing is that we people know a lot of things, but we lack the ability to do it.” The middle-aged man said in frustration: “We can’t take up all this, and we can’t let go of all this. We can only linger in the middle, neither getting up nor down. "
If you let go of everything, middle-aged people can live a good life.
He can travel around, he can constantly eat luxurious meals, he can act as a good person and help the poor...
But this kind of good is only relative to ordinary people.
Compared to the higher level, he could only watch himself dragging his dilapidated body and struggling, while the stronger ones of his age were enjoying their youth and the wealth left by the losers.
It has always been the big fish that eat the small fish, and the small fish that eat the shrimps.
He is at the middle level of this little fish, unable to move up and unwilling to go down.
He even knew very well that once he died, the companies he was responsible for in the past would no longer be able to enjoy special treatment, and would be slowly swallowed up by others taking advantage of them.
This mentality of neither getting better nor getting worse made him endure torture, and he also began to have a desperate mentality.
Nine out of ten gamblers lose, but years of experience in running a business have given the middle-aged man good judgment and he continues to gain income from this underground casino.
Even as the amount of his bets continues to increase, he is also seeking more benefits.
Compared with the scale of Zhang Xuezhou's bets, his bets were dozens of times larger than Zhang Xuezhou's, and could even be hundreds of times higher in some conservative games.
As the second round of the battle began, his eyes on Zhang Xuezhou quickly turned to the ring, and he kept paying attention to the points on the betting instrument.
"Sister, I will score less in the early stages of this game, and there will be a small explosion in the middle and late stages!"
Zhang Xuezhou looked at the more than 600 yuan in his electronic wallet and immediately placed a bet on Zhang Manqian's opponent.
But compared to the previous game where he could wait until the end of the game, this game required him to redeem funds in the middle and buy Zhang Manqian's side in the later stage.
The matter of placing bets was easy to solve, but Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart.
He paid attention to the tester numbered 23675 in the ring. The middle-aged man mentioned that the tester had the gene of a giant ape and had five-star giant ape fighting skills. It would be obviously difficult for Zhang Manqian to win.
"I need to give my sister a set of tricks to keep me under control!"
Zhang Xuezhou does not agree with Zhang Manqian's upward approach, but Zhang Xuezhou will not stop Zhang Manqian's pursuit.
First, Zhang Manqian decided that it would be difficult to go back on things, and Zhang Xuezhou could not dissuade her.
Secondly, Zhang Xuezhou didn't have any other way out, so he couldn't stop Zhang Manqian from moving forward.
All he can do is try his best to prevent Zhang Manqian from getting involved in higher risks if she continues to move up.
Zhang Manqian is indeed in contact with a more cutting-edge world. Although this world is full of violence and belongs to a dark area, the clues revealed in this dark world are undoubtedly enough to make ordinary people excited and even crazy.
Simple health-preserving medicines can sell for a lot of money, and even many elderly people flock to them.
Once he learned that there was a L-helix enzyme reagent that guaranteed to restore youth, Zhang Xuezhou felt that those who cherished their lives might be willing to spend all their money to buy it.
Zhang Xuezhou suddenly understood why there were gaps in the world.
The current demand is obviously greater than productivity, and only some people can enjoy the most cutting-edge technology, and even prices need to be continuously raised to cope with the increasing demand.
Even middle-aged people with millions of betting funds find it difficult to afford these extremely expensive technological products. This is undoubtedly a price that ordinary people will find difficult to bear in their lifetime.
When they cannot get it, many people in society, like middle-aged people, will take risks in pursuit of quick wealth, which is likely to lead to the collapse of social order.
It is difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to let others do what he wants. He can only take care of his own small family and try his best to make his family members a little more stable when they make progress.
He looked at his growing chips with an expressionless face, then simply chose to sell, and then bought Zhang Manqian's side.
The basic market of more than 600 yuan increased to 700 yuan, and then quickly crossed 800 yuan and entered 900 yuan.
The funds have nearly tripled, but Zhang Xuezhou doesn't feel any excitement.
There is no other reason for this. His basic market is too small, and even if he doubles or triples, his profits will be limited.
His real big bets were on money lines.
This is also the reason why middle-aged people often complain about losing money but continue to place bets.
As long as the outcome is not lost, the opponent will have the confidence to keep raising bets.
"You can turn five hundred into one thousand, that's good luck!"
After the second game ended, the middle-aged people couldn't help but feel a little more envious when they watched.
"My 20,000 yuan turned into 5,000 yuan. What a bad luck!"
"Then you come with me, I'm pretty lucky!"
Zhang Xuezhou responded with a chuckle, and the middle-aged man couldn't help but laugh back in embarrassment.
When all is said and done, he just talks, and there is no way that the money in his hand will follow his words.
In the more than three years since he entered the underground casino, he has never seen anyone make a fortune by following others' bets.
Zhang Xuezhou's profit multiple made him envious, but that was all.
"This 26442 broke out in the second half of the second game. She scored a lot of points with consecutive hits. However, her physical fitness is limited and it is difficult to sustain this rapid burst. She can only play in the second half. Entering the third game, she will inevitably switch to Slump, and then lose the game!”
"You're right!"
When expressing his opinions, Zhang Xuezhou also agreed without making any rebuttal.
But when the middle-aged man placed his bet in the third game, his eyes inevitably glanced at Zhang Xuezhou.
Seeing Zhang Xuezhou bet directly on 26442 at the beginning, he shook his head slightly, and then chose Zhang Manqian's opponent 23675 to buy in.
"How can you continue to attack like this?"
In the ring, Zhang Manqian's offensive did not stop because of the explosion in the second game.
On the contrary, Zhang Manqian's strikes appeared to be faster and more accurate.
Seeing the 20,000 yuan in chips he had newly invested shrink rapidly, the middle-aged man could not hold back his increasingly irritable mood, and began to curse continuously.
"Who can win for a long time, who can win steadily?"
There is no lasting win in a casino. No matter how much you eat, as long as you are still on the gaming table, you will spit out everything you eat.
Zhang Xuezhou's ability to accurately press it all depends on understanding Zhang Manqian.
He didn't feel any surprise about his winning of money. Instead, he saw it more clearly because of his onlooker mentality, and he also kept his mentality to not be enslaved by money.
He likes money, but Zhang Xuezhou doesn't want the source of money to come from gambling.
It just happened to happen.
Compared with the increase in bets, Zhang Xuezhou paid more attention to Zhang Manqian.
He stared closely at Zhang Manqian's figure, and it was difficult to know for a moment what the level of Ju Yuan Jin's fighting skills was and whether Zhang Manqian's crane-shaped fist could gain the upper hand.
"His grandma doesn't even give her any living expenses!"
One meter away, the middle-aged man had obviously given up on real-time betting and focused on the outcome.
"Lost, lose to me!"
Like a bull with red eyes, he stood up and yelled wildly.
"Won!"
The middle-aged man's roaring voice was full of surprise, and Zhang Xuezhou suddenly stood up, the anxiety in his heart directly turning into urgency.
On the ring, Zhang Manqian, who was attacking continuously, was caught by her opponent.
With one punch, Zhang Manqian's body was knocked back more than ten meters as if it had been hit by a locomotive.
In the direction where Zhang Manqian was shot, until a few seconds after Zhang Manqian landed, there was still a touch of scarlet floating in the air.
