Ma Rufei, Chen Chaoyue, and Zhang Haijun all beca incredibly excited, feeling their opportunity had finally arrived. After a long, excited discussion, they decided on the stakes. Zhang Haijun, filled with anticipation, said, "We’ll take that bet. If you lose, you have to teach us your Gambling Skills. If you win, the three of us will pool our money and buy you a mansion in the Capital City."
Once we learn Zhang Bin’s Gambling Skills, even if we aren’t the King of Gamblers ourselves, we’ll be his disciples! We’ll be able to dominate everywhere and rake in countless fortunes. It’ll be a sure thing.
As for the possibility of them losing? The thought had never even crossed their minds.
After all, Lv Yuze had already bought a Rebirth Pill. Even if he couldn’t acquire one, he could still go to Arica for treatnt. As long as he was willing to spend the money, his little ’ding-ding’ could grow back. In this era, with the unearthing of so underground ruins and ancient technological devices, technology had been advancing by leaps and bounds. Regenerating limbs or making a ’ding-ding’ grow back was no longer impossible; it just required a massive amount of wealth.
Lv Yuze was a rich man who loved playing with beautiful won. He would definitely find a way to get his ’ding-ding’ back. There was no way he would remain a eunuch forever.
"Very well. It’s a bet." A sinister smile appeared on Zhang Bin’s face; he was clearly quite satisfied with these stakes.
Every person in China knew that houses in the Capital City were very expensive. As for mansions, they were outrageously priced. Moreover, even if you had money, you might not be able to buy a mansion, as they were essentially priceless with no one willing to sell. After all, the Capital City had too many high-ranking officials, dignitaries, and tycoons. Who would sell their mansion?
However, these three buffoons were not ordinary people. Their families were ancient and influential, so buying a mansion in the Capital City would be easy for them.
For Zhang Bin, setting up a ho in the Capital City was quite necessary. After all, there were many beauties in the Capital City. Coming here for a vacation to admire the scenery—and the won—was one of life’s great pleasures. If he didn’t own a mansion, he couldn’t host banquets or throw parties, which would be very inconvenient.
Of course, if he didn’t possess a magical Flying Saucer that could take him between Sanchahe Village and Yanjing in a matter of seconds, a mansion in the Capital City would be useless. It would be too difficult to travel there; even using Sword Control would take an hour.
Then, Zhang Bin turned his gaze to the two beauties, who were also whispering excitedly. He said with a wicked smile, "What about you two? Do you want to bet with ? You can set your own stakes. An opportunity like this is one in a thousand. Once you miss it, it’s gone forever."
"Hold on, we’re discussing," Zhu Danyan said, shooting Zhang Bin a glare before pulling Mi Yiyao further away to continue their talk.
"Bet? Of course, we should bet with him! But can we really decide the stakes ourselves? Can he actually afford to pay up?" Mi Yiyao was so excited she was about to faint, her face alight with wild joy. Now I see it. Zhu Danyan’s boyfriend might be a bit of a silly greenhorn, but he might actually be incredibly rich. Is he here to give spending money?
"You can rest assured about that. He can definitely afford it. Money is all he has, and he’s a beast at making it, far beyond what we could ever hope to achieve," Zhu Danyan said in a low voice. "However, he’s a Big Bad Egg, extrely cunning. It’s almost impossible to win against him. I’m a bit worried."
"You think we’ll lose?" Mi Yiyao’s watery eyes widened to their limit. "Wouldn’t it be better if we lost? Then you’d win the Masked Singing King competition, beco the top singer, and successfully defend your title as Empress."
"Alright, we can bet with him," Zhu Danyan agreed after a mont’s hesitation. "You set the stakes, so you can’t bla later if you lose."
So, the two won discussed for a while longer before walking back, brimming with confidence. Mi Yiyao announced excitedly, "We’ll take your bet! If you lose, you’ll owe each of us ten million..." She paused, watching Zhang Bin’s face closely. Seeing no hint of surprise, she quickly added, "Ten million USD! If we lose, we’ll each perform a dance for you. I guarantee it will be an original solo dance, absolutely worth the price."
"That’s not fair!" Ma Rufei imdiately shouted with a jeering laugh. "One dance in exchange for a ten-million-dollar bet? That’s absurd. Not unless it’s a striptease."
"Yeah, that’s totally unfair," Chen Chaoyue agreed, shaking his head. "You two are taking way too much of an advantage."
"She must be talking about a striptease, so I guess that could be worth ten million. But can we watch?" Zhang Haijun chid in eagerly.
Both beauties blushed with embarrassnt. They were indeed taking advantage, as the bet was definitely unfair.
Mi Yiyao, being clever, quickly retorted with conviction, "An Empress has a special status. A single song or dance from her is worth tens of millions. I think it’s very fair."
"The Empress’s stakes are fair, but yours aren’t," Chen Chaoyue countered with a smirk. "Your dance isn’t worth that much, so you must be offering a striptease."
"A striptease it is, then." Mi Yiyao’s eyes glinted as she looked at Zhang Bin with a coy smile. "Do you dare to bet with us?"
"Excellent. I’ll take that bet," Zhang Bin said with a wicked grin.
Zhu Danyan and Mi Yiyao both burst into delightful laughter. With a bet like this, they stood to gain a huge advantage whether they won or lost.
Still, Mi Yiyao said, a little worried, "You won’t welsh on the bet if you lose, will you?"
"? Welsh on a bet?" Zhang Bin’s face hardened as he pretended to be offended. "How dare you question my integrity?"
"No, no, you misunderstood! I just ant that twenty million USD is no small sum. I’m just reminding you to get it ready so you won’t be in a bind when the ti cos," Mi Yiyao said without a hint of a blush.
"Beautiful Miss Mi, you think my Senior Brother can’t pull out twenty million USD?" Ma Rufei said proudly. "Let tell you, forget twenty million USD. My Senior Brother could produce two billion USD on the spot without even batting an eye."
"Haven’t you heard? My Senior Brother is the world’s King of Gamblers," Chen Chaoyue added, holding his head high with a smug expression. "Last ti we were in Arica, we swept up over ten billion USD and brought it all back."
For those two, going to Arica with Zhang Bin to participate in the World King of Gamblers Competition was the proudest mont of their lives, sothing they could boast about for a lifeti.
"What? You’re Zhang Bin, the world’s King of Gamblers?" Mi Yiyao’s eyes flew wide open. I’m actually betting against the King of Gamblers? I’m so screwed!
