Chapter 96 Black Market Gambling
The seriousness of this matter is obviously no longer a simple personal problem, but a problem between Shrek and the original body.
However, Shrek Academy will handle it. There is no need for Huo Yuhao to do anything. All he needs to do is study and practice honestly.
When everyone mentioned the Body Sect, Tianmeng Bingcan was still complaining about being captured that year. With all his cultivation, he basically had no attack ability and it was purely by luck that he reached the million-year level. Moreover, he had to wander around seeking death. It was a shame not to use such a soul beast as fertilizer. What kind of thing is this? He deserves it!
The Benti Sect is a sect that is both good and evil. It has done a lot of bad things, but it has also done good things. It's just that sometimes a bad reputation is always the easiest to spread.
The only thing that Su Yu remembered clearly was that according to Ma Xiaotao's revelations, nearly forty people from the Body Sect sneaked into the Xingdou Great Forest and hunted down seven hundred thousand year soul beasts one after another. This triggered a beast tide that lasted for a full year, causing a large number of civilian casualties. In the end, the Body Sect joined forces with Shrek to repel the beast tide. Since then, the Body Sect knew it was in the wrong, and was forced by Mu Lao to swear a poisonous oath and has been in seclusion since then.
The subsequent attack was the fall of the Dragon God Douluo...
However, Jiang Nannan, who was born into a commoner family, was very indignant about this compromise. Perhaps it was because she could empathize with the people. She knew the pity and sadness of the common people. On this point, she knew it better than anyone else.
Xu Sanshi wanted to comfort her, but Jiang Nannan scolded him harshly, which made Xu Sanshi speechless and he didn't know what to say.
Su Yu just listened quietly. It seemed that if he had time in the future, he would have to look through Shrek's top-secret files. Although he couldn't say that he would gain a lot, he would definitely gain something.
After all, it is impossible for an academy with a history of tens of thousands of years to be completely unaware of any secrets.
However, something weird happened. When Su Yu was preparing to go to the underground black market with his men to bet some money, the original book only mentioned the winning rate of both sides, and casually mentioned that the winning rate of both sides was 6.5 to 3.5.
If this were the odds, the merchant would be losing a lot of money here. Is this another case of the settings going wrong, or is it just because of lack of culture?
Since the estimated winning rate of the Sun-Moon Empire is higher than that of Shrek, the odds of the Sun-Moon Empire in this bet are 5 to 1, and the odds of Shrek are 1 to 3.
This time, before going out, Su Yu specifically asked his father Su Xinyuan for permission, but Su Xinyuan said, since you can make the decision on everything now, you don't need to ask me for permission, just do it.
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry to bother you this time."
Su Yu, wearing a cloak and a special mask, came to the black market's solitary residence under the protection of Old Chen.
“Call out your person in charge and tell him that there is a big business deal here. Do you dare to take it?” Old Chen’s voice remained the same, seemingly ordinary, but his cultivation as a Soul Saint was clearly revealed.
Sometimes, to travel in Douluo Continent, you need to rely not only on power and status, but also on strength, especially in places like the black market.
"Okay, Lord Soul Saint, please follow me." Su Yu was greeted by a young woman in revealing clothes. She was beautiful and quite attractive in the black market, but no one dared to look at her with a presumptuous gaze.
Obviously, there is a person of certain status behind the other party, otherwise how could other people have such a reaction.
"May I know what this gentleman's name is?" Old Chen was very humble in front of Su Yu. Naturally, this young woman would have good eyesight and quickly invited Su Yu to a reception room.
"Luo Yu."
Su Yu spoke slowly. Of course, he would not use his real name. After all, the black market was not a good place. Wearing a mask and a cloak was to avoid unnecessary trouble. In fact, with Su Yu's identity, there was no need to be so secretive, but for the sake of his own safety, it was better to be safe.
"Master Luoyu, please wait a moment. Our hall master will be here soon. Please forgive me if I have been negligent."
Obviously, the other party also knew that Su Yu was of great background. Even his guards were seven-ringed Soul Saints. One could imagine what kind of power was behind this young man named Luo Yu.
Although the young woman opposite was always tempting Su Yu intentionally or unintentionally, and even tried to get some words out of Su Yu during the chat, Su Yu had already seen through these little tricks.
"I don't know what kind of big business this young master wants to discuss. If he comes to cause trouble, I believe this young master knows what the consequences will be."
The man who came was a strong man nearly two meters tall. Su Yu found his information in his mind instantly.
Guxing, an 81st level Soul Douluo, was formerly a wanted criminal in the Sky Soul Empire. Five years ago, he assassinated a royal noble in the imperial capital, so he was besieged by the Sky Soul Empire Soul Douluo. After being seriously injured, he disappeared at the border of the Sky Soul Empire. When he disappeared, his soul power was only level 79. Now he has become a hall master in the black market of the Xingluo imperial capital.
"Mr. Chen, go ahead." Su Yu waved his hand, not worried about the strength of the Soul Douluo in front of him. Although the opponent's strength and momentum were strong enough, not a single bit of it fell on Su Yu. Obviously, he only had the cultivation of a Soul Saint, but Mr. Chen crushed this Soul Douluo in all aspects.
Old Chen didn't hesitate and threw a gold card directly on the table. Looking at the gold card, even the Contra's originally aggressive attitude instantly turned respectful.
"This is a gold card with 30 million gold soul coins in it. Since you are here to discuss business, don't show me your aggressive attitude. It is your honor that I am willing to discuss this business with you. Since you are so insincere, I have no choice but to leave. Old Chen, let's go!"
Su Yu stood up and was about to leave. This series of actions completely frightened Gu Xing on the spot. If the people above knew about it, and he lost such a big business in his hands, he would probably lose his position as the head of the hall, and might even be demoted...
"Sir, please let us talk nicely. I have neglected this matter. If I have not treated you well, please forgive me. If you have any requests, and they are within my responsibility, please feel free to raise them. It will be a token of my appreciation."
I have to say that when power, strength and money coexist, people will treat you with respect no matter where you go.
This is what I've been waiting for you to say. This is what you said. Shrek's ratio is 1 to 3. Su Yu thinks that if he wants to make a lot of money, as a big customer, it's not too much for me to say 1 to 4.
"Since Lone Star Hall Master has said so, it would seem that I am a bit stingy if I still care about it. I hope that the odds of Shrek winning this time are 1 to 4. I don't care about the odds of others. As for the choice, it's up to Lone Star Hall Master."
Su Yu waved his hand, and then Old Chen took out another gold card. After checking, the amount of this gold card was also 20 million gold soul coins. In order to mobilize these 50 million gold soul coins, the most headache was not Su Yu, but his father Su Xinyuan. However, Su Yu held the sword order, and now the entire Su family was under Su Yu's control. Everyone had to do what he said. Although no one knew why the real person in charge of the Su family made such a decision, the rules were rules and had to be followed.
These 50 million gold soul coins almost emptied the working capital of all the Su family's businesses in the Xingluo Empire within a year. Once this gamble collapsed, the Su family's losses would be more than just these 50 million gold soul coins...
But Su Yu was quite relieved. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. If he lost, the worst that could happen was a beating. If he took a chance, the bicycle could turn into an aircraft carrier!
This was a gamble that was extremely luxurious. The amount was so huge that it alarmed the Titled Douluo guarding the black market, who specially received Su Yu. In order to prevent the other party from defaulting on the debt, Su Yu directly revealed his identity.
The Titled Douluo on the opposite side immediately became obedient. He had originally planned to rob the thieves, but after knowing Su Yu's identity, he immediately gave up all the ideas...
To this end, they specifically assured Su Yu that they would absolutely keep their promise, and even offered their own lives and property as a guarantee.
All the Titled Douluo who are old and still unable to break through are afraid of death, but Su Yu is not worried about anything. Once the other party defaults on the debt, that's easy to deal with. Just tell the nobles in the Xingluo Imperial Capital and you will have a reasonable excuse instantly. Not only can you get your things back, but those nobles can also make a fortune. Who doesn't know how to take advantage of the fire to rob?
Just like that, after bearing witness, Su Yu was escorted back to the Su family by the Titled Douluo. This treatment was truly unmatched.
After returning to the Su family, Old Chen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Young Master, are you sure about your bet this time?"
"Thirty percent." Su Yu sat on the sofa, turned his head and looked at Old Chen and said.
“Three percent, isn’t it a bit…” Mr. Chen hesitated, but now that things have come to this, there is no room for maneuver.
Su Yu knew that Old Chen was worried. After all, fifty million gold soul coins was not a small amount. Once he lost, the Su family's capital chain would be broken instantly, and the loss would definitely be more than fifty million. However, if he won, it would be a huge profit.
The odds are 1 to 4, so if you win, you will get 200 million directly. Doesn’t this mean that two small goals have been achieved instantly?
"What I'm saying is that we only have a 30% chance of winning. Old Chen, you watched me grow up. Am I, Su Yu, the kind of person who does things without thinking?"
Old Chen looked at Su Yu's confident look. At this moment, he decided to trust this young master who was so young but did things so flawlessly.
Old Chen also inquired about Su Yu's affairs. Whether it was about the Shrek Supervisory Group or Su Yu's competition, he knew everything clearly as he was always by Su Xinyuan's side.
Since Su Yu already has a mature mind, why not trust him once?
Looking at the bustling street outside the window, Su Yu slowly said: "This time, we have to win if we can, and we have to win if we can't."
…………
The next day.
Star Luo City, as the capital of the Star Luo Empire and the largest city in the empire, has been experiencing congestion for several days in a row.
The reason why cities are crowded is that there are crowds of people on every street.
The two semi-finals of the All Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition have ended. From the moment the semi-finals ended, people began to line up outside Xingluo Square. Some people even lined up for two days and two nights. All for the sake of witnessing the grand final of the All Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition. Perhaps, this will be an event that they will talk about with great relish in their lives.
What's more, although this final will be divided into team battles, individual elimination battles and two-two-three battles, it will all be held within one day! What a wonderful and prosperous age this is, even if it is a little harder, it is still worth it.
In order to maintain order in the imperial capital, the Xingluo Empire urgently dispatched 10,000 elite soldiers to the city to maintain order, and all shops in the city extended their business hours. In order to supply the sudden surge in the number of foreign population, various resources were transferred from surrounding cities. For a time, the prosperity of Xingluo City had reached an unprecedented level.
With the flow of people, the revenue has also increased exponentially. Every Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition actually brings not honor but monetary benefits to the country!
In this final battle, Su Yu made a slight adjustment, letting Wang Dong take the field in the team battle. Now the success or failure can only rely on his and Wang Dong's spirit fusion skills.
Su Yu did not hide anything and directly told everyone that he and Wang Dong had a soul fusion skill. When everyone heard this, they all looked as if they had suddenly realized something.
Xu Sanshi said with an I-know-what expression, "I was wondering how the two of you could be as close as one person. It turns out you have a martial soul fusion technique. You hid it well enough. Awesome!"
"You are so good, Su Yu. You even dare to hide it from Senior Brother. How many things are you hiding from me?" Even Bei Bei gritted her teeth and wished she could give Su Yu a beating.
"I was wondering how the deputy monitor could possibly like a boy. It turns out that she and Monitor Wang have a spirit fusion skill. It seems that I misunderstood before."
Even Xiao Xiao stared at Su Yu and Wang Dong with wide eyes. Wang Dong's face looked normal at first, but when he heard Xiao Xiao's words, his handsome face instantly turned red. Xiao Xiao's "childish talk" made everyone present burst into laughter. Even the usually aloof Ling Luochen covered his lips and laughed out loud.
If Wang Dong is arranged to play, someone will inevitably have to leave the field, but Su Yu did not explain who will leave the field, just said that it will depend on the situation when the time comes.
I don’t know why, but after Xiao Xiao said that, the original nervousness disappeared without a trace, but the tips of Wang Dong’s ears were still bright red, and it was obvious that he was shy.
Seeing that Shrek was doing so easily, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy on the opposite side felt more stressed. It was obvious that the opposing team was a hastily put together team, and although they had easily made it to the finals, it would be basically difficult for them to defeat them and win.
But they seemed to have no scruples at all. Could it be that Shrek’s reinforcements had arrived?
Thanks for the monthly ticket from Mengliyouwanwu.
