Chapter 2196 Crazy Gambler
There are less than five days left before Chen Yang and Ren Zifei's death cage challenge.
During this period, the entire Longji Academy has become lively.
From Xiayun Peak to Shangqing Peak, all the disciples are paying attention to this matter.
On one side, there is a genius who is in the limelight;
On the other side, there is a powerful disciple ranked 34th.
It must be said that although the strength of this battle seems to be very different, there are still some highlights.
Even some elders of the academy are paying attention to this matter.
Among them, the elder who pays the most attention to this matter is Zhou Yuerong.
Moreover, she took the initiative to propose to the Deacon Hall to serve as the referee of this death cage challenge.
In addition, among the disciples, the most sensational one is Wang Zehong, who ranks sixth in the academy. He set up a prize guessing game. He will be the banker and welcome the disciples of the academy to place bets.
Although this is actually gambling, with the previous experience of the battle between Chen Yang and Zheng Yanzhou, this time, the academy can't say much.
But Yin Tianchou of the Law Enforcement Hall has already said that after this death cage challenge, this kind of prize guessing game will also be stopped.
Any gambling methods under other names are not allowed in the academy.
With Wang Zehong as the banker, there are many disciples who place bets in the academy.
Although the contribution points need to be allocated to Wang Zehong, he is the sixth-ranked senior brother after all. Everyone trusts him and believes that he will not cheat the contribution points of his fellow brothers.
Of course, if he really cheats, even the academy will not let it go.
The rules of this prize guessing competition are the same as the last time.
The winning party will distribute the prize pool of the losing party according to the proportion of the total bets.
In this way, Wang Zehong, the banker, will not lose a single contribution point.
Moreover, in order to make a profit without loss, Wang Zehong, as the banker, will take a commission of 1% of each person's contribution point bet amount.
In other words, no matter who wins the battle between Chen Yang and Ren Zifei, he will get 1% of the total bet amount in the end.
With two days left before the war, according to statistics, the total bet amount has reached 15.3 million contribution points.
Wang Zehong can take nearly 120,000 contribution points from it.
This number is indeed a lot for other disciples.
But for Wang Zehong, it doesn't seem to be much.
After all, Wang Zehong ranks sixth in the entire academy. In addition to spending, the accumulated contribution points are already two or three million.
This makes everyone wonder why Wang Zehong is the banker and holds this prize guessing contest?
Is it just a few hundred thousand contribution points?
Everyone thinks it won't be that simple.
There is still one day before the death cage challenge.
On this day, Zhang Yuxi arrived at the No. 6 Shangqing Courtyard.
During this period of time, this courtyard can be said to be in an endless stream of people.
Especially on the day before the war, more and more people came to place bets, and they had to line up.
With such a good business, Wang Zehong simply asked a few junior brothers to help.
Of course, they all worked for free.
To be able to please the senior brother ranked sixth, these junior brothers from Xiayunfeng fought hard to get this opportunity.
Looking at the people queuing in front of him, Zhang Yuxi couldn't help but frowned. If he queued, it would be a waste of time.
The top ten disciples of Longji Academy, at least, have reached the middle stage of Zhenfu, which is completely different from the disciples ranked outside the top ten.
So Wang Zehong is someone Zhang Yuxi has to look up to.
But he is friendly, not as arrogant as the other top ten brothers, so Zhang Yuxi knows him.
After looking around in the yard, Zhang Yuxi really saw Wang Zehong.
Wang Zehong was sitting under a tree, staring at his token and laughing, his face full of excitement.
That sneaky look made Zhang Yuxi speechless.
This guy, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like the sixth-ranked strongman in the academy.
"Senior Brother Wang."
Zhang Yuxi didn't walk in, but called out from a distance.
Wang Zehong came back to his senses and quickly put away the token. When he saw Zhang Yuxi, he smiled and stepped forward and said, "Junior Sister Zhang, are you here to bet as well?"
Zhang Yuxi nodded. Before she could speak, Wang Zehong said, "In that case, I suggest that you don't bet on Ren Zifei, but Chen Yang."
All the disciples of Shangqing Peak practiced hard.
In fact, Wang Zehong didn't know the rumors about Chen Yang and Zhang Yuxi.
So he thought that Zhang Yuxi was here to bet on Ren Zifei.
After all, Ren Zifei has a greater chance of winning no matter from which aspect.
Zhang Yuxi said to Wang Zehong, "Brother Wang, why did you ask me to bet on Chen Yang?"
Wang Zehong took out the token he had just put away, and poured his true essence into the token. The number appeared on it: 18,239,131.
He pointed at the token and said, "Among them, 2.1 million are my own contribution points, and the rest are bets from junior brothers and sisters. The popularity has exceeded my expectations, reaching more than 16 million contribution points."
Zhang Yuxi was shocked. He didn't expect so many people to bet.
Wang Zehong continued, "Among them, those who bet on Junior Brother Ren to win will get 15.97 million contribution points, and those who bet on Junior Brother Chen to win will only get more than 50,000 contribution points. In other words, if you bet 50,000 contribution points, if Junior Brother Chen wins, you can get half of the 15.97 million contribution points. So, I let you bet on Chen Yang."
Zhang Yuxi said: "Even so, Chen Yang has to win."
Wang Zehong said: "Hehe, gambling is fun only if you gamble. If you already know the result, is it still gambling? To be honest, I bet on more than 50,000 contribution points that Junior Brother Chen won, of which 50,000 contribution points were bet by myself."
Zhang Yuxi raised his eyebrows: "Senior Brother Wang, you are the banker of this prize guessing competition, is it for gambling?"
Wang Zehong rubbed his hands and smiled: "Junior Sister Zhang, to be honest, I like gambling, especially the extremely risky gambling, I am more interested. It's a pity that the college does not allow gambling. This time I finally got the opportunity, of course I will not let it go."
Zhang Yuxi was surprised. She didn't expect Wang Zehong to have such a hobby.
However, she still had a doubt about this prize guessing competition.
She asked, "Brother Wang, Chen Yang's prize pool is only 50,000, so even if those who voted for Ren Zifei win, they won't win many contribution points, so why are they still flocking to it?"
Wang Zehong smiled and said, "Because I promised them that any bettor who wins will not get more than 100 contribution points, and I will do something for them."
"What!"
Zhang Yuxi was shocked and said, "Brother Wang, you are betting too much, right?"
Wang Zehong showed an excited smile on his face and said, "But if Brother Chen wins and I win, hehe, that feeling is quite cool."
