Chapter 260 Fall into a Trap
“Younger Brother, it"s normal that you haven"t heard of it, because you have just entered this circle for a short time. The Starspark School, upon my word, has at least thousands of followers up to now. No school can be a match for it in the whole Cultivation World.”
w.a.n.g Feng was greatly stunned when hearing these words. A school with more than a thousand followers! That was much stronger than his school.
One side was over a thousand followers while the other side was only three people. That did not match at all completely.
“So, do they have a lot of masters?”
“Of course. As far as I know, they have at least 200 masters of Internal Strength from all walks of life in their school. Even the management of Chang City is controlled by them. Do you think they will care about this little money? Besides, they want to convene all the cultivators in Celestial Empire. I a.s.sume that only they have the ability to make it.”
“They are indeed strong and powerful.” w.a.n.g Feng nodded his head without asking anymore then.
w.a.n.g Feng and others were quickly taken to a five-star hotel in Chang City, sitting in the car. Over here, cultivators could be seen everywhere. And young masters pervaded everywhere as well.
However, the arrival of w.a.n.g Feng and others, precisely Guijianchou"s presence, still created quite a stir here.
Guijianchou, who had been renowned long for his superb medical skills, could cure any rare and complicated disease of cultivators. So, he was very well-connected indeed. There was no exaggeration to say that wherever he was, someone would come and serve at his command as long as he waved his hand.
“The highly-skilled doctor, it"s my honor to see you here.” Many people, holding their one fist in the other hand, said kindly.
To these people, Guijianchou only nodded his head as a greeting.
As for w.a.n.g Feng and He Tian beside Guijianchou, they also became the spotlight of the public. Since they came with Guijianchou, they must be the proteges of him. How could these people miss the chance of studying them carefully?
“Well, you two just take a good rest here, and I am going to see some old friends. The Martial Art Tournament will start tomorrow, so you must save your energy today.” Guijianchou said this after entering the hotel, and then he went away.
“Brother, what should we do now?” w.a.n.g Feng asked after Guijianchou disappeared.
They were unfamiliar with this d.a.m.ned place, and all around them were strangers. There was no fun indeed.
“How can I know that? How about walking around first? Let"s see other people"s strength.” He Tian could only say this helplessly.
The Martial Art Tournament would be held tomorrow. It was useless to practice further now, just like making an effort at the last moment, because the cultivation, unlike reading a book or cramming for a test, would take the opportunity and acc.u.mulation.
“That is fine. Let"s take a short walk around here.” There was an old saying that knowing both oneself and the enemy renders a man undefeated. To know other partic.i.p.ants" strength now was very helpful to tomorrow"s contest.
With so many young cultivators, they didn"t know who would become their opponents. It was a good choice to have a look at them in advance.
However, they had only taken a few steps before they were attracted by a group of people who gathered in a corner of the hotel. At that time, the group of people were shouting and screaming, and it was unknown what they were doing.
“Let"s go and have a look.” He Tian said, going straightly to the crowd with w.a.n.g Feng then.
“I stake a million yuan. I don"t believe that I can"t beat down you.” A young man shouted with his ruddy face.
It turned out that so many people gathered here actually for gambling. And the rules of the gamble were rather simple. That was guessing the number. One banker rolled the dice in a dice cup, and then the others guessed whether the number showed by the dice was a big one or a small one. Meanwhile, the gamblers could stake money on the number they guessed.
With so many people playing together, they might enjoy themselves a lot.
A million yuan at one stake! They were certainly rich people.
“Younger Brother, how about trying our luck? ” He Tian asked playfully at this time.
“Do as you wish.” w.a.n.g Feng said with a shrug.
Anyone could lose this game of guessing the number, except w.a.n.g Feng. Since he had the clairvoyant ability, he could see the number inside clearly. How could he lose?
So, he just took out one check which he was carrying with him and drew seven zeros on it. Then he tossed it onto the table and said, “I stake ten million yuan on a big number.”
His voice was very loud, but it was the amount of the stake that attracted all the attention of people present. Ten million yuan was staked on his first try. What a rich man he was!
“Younger Brother, we just want some fun, right? Don"t you think that"s too much?” He Tian asked in surprise at this time.
“That is fine. It doesn"t matter if I lose. As you just said, just for fun.” w.a.n.g Feng said easily.
The banker had already finished rolling the dice. w.a.n.g Feng saw clearly that the number inside was four. Therefore, he knew that it was apparently a big number.
“Fine. Then I"ll stake two million yuan for fun.” After saying this, He Tian also wrote a check and threw it on the table.
Unquestionably, his stake was the same as w.a.n.g Feng"s. It was just millions of yuan, and he didn"t care a little about the result. It was just for fun.
Then, the other gamblers also laid down their stakes consecutively. Some people staked hundreds of thousands of yuan at a smaller amount while others bet millions of yuan at a larger amount. However, no one dared to gamble at such a high stake like w.a.n.g Feng. Ten million yuan at one throw! Wasn"t he afraid of losing everything, including his pants?
“Anyone else who wants to stake?” At this time, the banker asked, looking at w.a.n.g Feng thoughtfully.
“Just open it. Don"t waste time!” Someone hurried him up loudly in dissatisfaction at this time.
“No one else? Then, let"s see…” He removed the dice cup which covered the dice as he said this.
“Two. A small number.” The banker said and then smiled while reaching for the stakes of w.a.n.g Feng and others and holding all the money in front of him.
“Interesting. I don"t think you played fair.” w.a.n.g Feng saw clearly that it was four inside, but now it was two actually. How could w.a.n.g Feng believe that he did not play tricks?
w.a.n.g Feng fell into a bad mood at once after he was swindled out of ten million yuan.
“I opened the dice cup in front of everyone. Why do you think I played unfairly? Can"t you afford to lose?” The banker sneered and said when hearing w.a.n.g Feng"s words.
Once he said this, all the crowd around immediately looked at w.a.n.g Feng with disgust. One should never say something like this even if he lost money.
“Younger Brother, just let it go. It is only ten million yuan.” At this time, He Tian tugged at w.a.n.g Feng"s sleeve and said.
It was not the right time to create a disturbance. Ten million yuan was not a small number, but it was not a big number as well. They could afford it.
“I do not care about money. Never mind. It"s useless to explain to you.” w.a.n.g Feng wouldn"t like to talk more after hearing He Tian"s words. It was true that ten million was not a big number, but he was swindled out of the money with ease. How could w.a.n.g Feng let it go like this?
He would rather give the money to the poor than send it to the cheater in front of him absolutely.
“Come on! Let"s continue.” w.a.n.g Feng took a glance at the smiling banker and said. Then he wrote another check of two hundred thousand yuan.
“Roll the dice.” w.a.n.g Feng said.
“Lay down your stakes quickly, and huge wealth may fall into your hands.” The banker said, resting his eyes on w.a.n.g Feng from time to time.
w.a.n.g Feng directly ignored the eyes of the blanker, with his eyes fixed on the dice cup now. He wanted to figure out how this cheater played tricks on earth.
In the blink of an eye, he finished rolling the dice. w.a.n.g Feng saw that it was a big number again, so he staked his check on a big one without any hesitation.
“Still on a big one.” w.a.n.g Feng said before the other people laid down their stakes one after another.
At this time, He Tian didn"t follow him to stake. He even wanted to stop w.a.n.g Feng from playing further. Such a small game should have been for recreation. Why w.a.n.g Feng took it so seriously?
“Anyone else? I am going to open it at once.” The banker said with his eyes glancing at those checks back and forth.
“Just open it quickly. I have lost two more than million yuan today. You"ve taken good advantage of me.” At this moment, someone complained and said.
“No one else, right? I am going to open it.” The man opened the dice cup in front of him as he said this. It was still a small number inside.
w.a.n.g Feng lost two hundred thousand yuan for nothing this time, but he finally saw clearly how the banker cheated on earth.
It was indeed a big number inside at first. But when the dice cup was opened by the man, w.a.n.g Feng saw clearly that the dice inside was directly moved, ending up with a small number.
Of course, w.a.n.g Feng showed a smiley face after he took a glance at the face value of these checks on the table.
How foxy the man was! He would open with a number in favor of people who staked less money. In this way, he would never lose.
How ridiculous these people were! They just took it as a fair game. They didn"t know that they were sending money to a cheater indeed.
Although w.a.n.g Feng didn"t know how he managed to do that, he could imagine that he lost ten million yuan in that way for nothing just now. The banker was totally a heartless cheater!
“Younger Brother, how about quitting it? That little money can be taken as a gift to him.” At this time, He Tian said, trying to drag w.a.n.g Feng out of the crowd.
“Why should I give it to him? I want to get back all the money I have lost. It"s not easy to take away my money.” w.a.n.g Feng took out a check again as he said this. He wrote a hundred million yuan on it.
It didn"t matter that he lost ten million yuan, because he would win back all the money he had lost as well as everything the banker had won. Besides, if the banker lost, he would probably pay for it on his own.
Since he wanted to cheat others here, w.a.n.g Feng would get him into a trap mercilessly first now.
“Dare you bet a hundred million yuan or not?” These people around here burst into an uproar when they heard w.a.n.g Feng"s words.
A hundred million yuan! What they had lost in total was nothing compared with this amount at all. Wasn"t he mad due to losing the game?
As an old saying goes, small bets serve as leisure while large stakes never bring about treasure. His eyes must be blurred by anger.
“Why not?” Hearing that w.a.n.g Feng was going to bet a hundred million yuan, the banker was startled for a while before saying this with a smiling face.
This fool couldn"t wait to send money. The blanker thought in his mind that he would take away as much as w.a.n.g Feng had.
“Since you want to bet, just hurry up and begin the game. I will quit it if I lose the money.” w.a.n.g Feng narrowed his eyes slightly after he said this.
“Then don"t blame me if you lose.” The banker said and began to shake the dice cup.
After he finished, he said slowly, “Now, you can lay down your stakes.”
“I will still stake one million yuan on a small number.” Many people staked on a small number since a small number had been shown consecutively. The total value of the stakes on a small number was about twenty million yuan.
However, more than twenty million yuan was unable to be compared with a hundred million yuan that w.a.n.g Feng staked. Therefore, everyone fixed their eyes on w.a.n.g Feng now, wondering which side he would bet with.
“Brother, big or small?” At this time, the banker asked him.
“Still on a big one.” w.a.n.g Feng said smilingly, then throwing his check on a big number without any hesitation.
The number on top inside the cup was five now. It was a big one. Those people who had staked on a small number might spit out blood.
“Anyone else who wants to stake?” Seeing that w.a.n.g Feng staked on a big number, the man showed a smiley face. He urged the other gamblers to lay down their stakes hurriedly.
“Why are you so hurried?” w.a.n.g Feng peered at the man and then turned around. He said to He Tian who stood by his side, “Brother, would you like to make a bet?”
“Not again. We have lost so much. It"s time to quit.” He Tian opened his mouth and said, showing his unwillingness.
He had already lost two million yuan, and he would probably lose again if he continued. w.a.n.g Feng was crazy indeed.
