Volume 2 Ghost Army Chapter 275: A Little Gambling for Fun
After finding Captain William, Li Jiu immediately retracted his gaze in order not to attract the other party's attention.
"Let's go and find a place to sit down first." Li Jiu lowered his head slightly and whispered to Brother Doug. While speaking, he walked directly to an empty table on the stands on this level.
Brother Doug nodded silently and followed Li Jiu.
There were three sofas next to the wine table. Li Jiu sat on the long sofa in the middle, while Doug and Quinn sat on the small sofas on both sides.
"Just order whatever you want to drink." After sitting down, Li Jiu lit a cigarette and said calmly.
"Okay." Quinn nodded and started looking through the virtual menu on the table.
"Brother Jiu, when are we going to start?" Doug glanced at the table and did not rush to order drinks. Instead, he asked Li Jiu.
"No hurry, there are too many people here, it's hard to start, let's wait for the opportunity." Li Jiu replied calmly, smoking a cigarette, with an expressionless face. At the same time, he was also quietly keeping an eye on Captain William's movements at the wine table in the distance.
"Yeah." Doug glanced around at the large number of customers , nodded in response, and then ordered drinks.
"Welcome!" At this moment, a sweet and gentle voice suddenly came, immediately attracting the attention of Li Jiu and the other two.
Li Jiu, holding a cigarette in his mouth, turned around and saw a beautiful waitress in a pink revealing cheongsam standing next to the wine table with a seductive smile on her face.
"Gentlemen, do you want to participate in the boxing bet?" the cheongsam beauty asked with a smile.
"Oh ? Boxing betting..." Li Jiu was slightly stunned, then he understood after a little thought. It seemed that this beautiful woman was here to promote her main business, so he said with a playful smile: "Haha, how do you bet?"
"Haha, it seems like this is your first time here, gentlemen." The cheongsam beauty was delighted when she saw that Li Jiu was interested. She smiled and said, "The rules of our boxing betting here are very simple. I'm sure you have seen that there are two warriors fighting in the iron cage ring below. Gentlemen, you can place any bet on them."
"In addition, our bar only accepts Alliance Coins for betting. If you have valuables that you want to use as collateral, you can go to the backstage to have them appraised first, and then convert them into Alliance Coins for betting." The cheongsam beauty continued to explain, and then took out a palm-sized black disc from her body. "As for the betting method, it is also very simple. You can bet directly with cash, and I will be responsible for recording the betting amount for you VIPs. At the same time, you can also bet directly with a bank card, and manage the gambling money by yourself through this special betting machine."
After saying that, the cheongsam beauty placed the black round plate on the wine table in front of Li Jiu.
"Okay, I got it. You can go now. We can place the bets ourselves." After listening to the other party's explanation, Li Jiu smiled indifferently and nodded.
"Okay sir, I wish you all a good time! If you need any special service, you can tell us at any time through the ordering machine on the table." The cheongsam beauty looked at Li Jiu meaningfully, bowed and said, and then went to entertain other guests.
After the beauty left, Li Jiu started playing with the black disc, while Doug and Quinn also cast curious glances at him.
After groping for a while, Li Jiu discovered that this so-called betting machine was actually something similar to a card swiping machine. It could be used to transfer Alliance Coins from a bank card to the bar's account. After the game, if he won, he could use it to transfer the winnings back to his bank card. It was quite convenient to operate.
"Haha, there's still some time now. Are you two interested in taking this opportunity to gamble?" Li Jiu put the black round plate on the table, looked at Doug and Quinn beside him, and said with a smile.
"I don't want to bet!" Quinn glared and immediately shook his head like a rattle.
"Nine times out of ten, I lose when gambling. I won't gamble." Doug also shook his head with a serious look.
The two brothers are honest people. They just got out of poverty and became rich not long ago. They received 600,000 Alliance Coins from Li Jiu, but they haven't even warmed up the money in their hands yet. Naturally, they don't want to waste it on gambling.
Besides, they were still living in a rented house and didn't even have a decent home. They had thought that after working with Li Jiu for a while, they could save up some money and buy a small house of their own in the civilian area, so they cherished the few hundred thousand Alliance coins they had.
"Hey, Doug, what you said does make sense, but haven't you heard it before? Small gambling is fun, big gambling is harmful to the body. There's nothing wrong with us playing once in a while." Li Jiu grinned and shook his head.
Doug and Quinn couldn't help but frown and looked at each other. It seemed that Brother Nine was really going to gamble today...
"How about this, I'll bet 100,000 Alliance Coins for each of you. If you lose, it's mine, and if you win, it's yours. How about that?" Li Jiu added. Looking at the embarrassed expressions on the two brothers' faces, he could guess what they were thinking, so he took the initiative to take the risk for them.
"Yeah, yeah, that's possible!" Quinn immediately nodded vigorously.
"Thank you, Brother Jiu. I have no objection..." Doug hesitated for a moment and nodded in response.
Seeing these two guys agreed so readily when they heard that they didn't have to pay for it, Li Jiu couldn't help but smile helplessly, and then started the black disc on the wine table.
"Buzz..." Following a slight buzzing sound, a beam of purple fluorescent light shot out from the disc, and a virtual screen quickly appeared in front of Li Jiu and the other two.
On this screen, Li Jiu saw two people fighting in the iron cage ring below. They were called Black Bear and Clouded Leopard. The one called Black Bear was the strong black man, and the one called Clouded Leopard was the strong yellow young man.
The odds for this round are 0.5, which means that if you bet on the right person, you can earn 0.5 times the bet. On the contrary, if you bet on the wrong person, then all the bets belong to the bar.
At this time, the battle below had come to an end, so Li Jiu and his friends could no longer place bets. They could only wait until the game was over before participating in the next boxing bet.
The battle between Black Bear and Clouded Leopard was the first match of the night and also their debut on stage. Therefore, when they went on stage, the customers didn't know much about them and placed their bets based entirely on their personal vision and feelings.
If we only look at the body size, then the black bear has a very high chance of winning. In addition, there are very few Asian customers at the scene, so considering the issue of racial sentiment, most customers bet on the black bear to win.
However, although the black bear was indeed suppressing the clouded leopard at the beginning of the game, surprisingly, when the black bear was about to win, the clouded leopard suddenly exerted his strength and knocked the black bear unconscious with one punch, instantly reversing the situation...
