Volume 2 Ghost Army Chapter 292 Quasi-Two-Star
"More than 200 million? Hmm... Although it's still a little unsatisfactory, this is the only way..." After reading the gambling information, Li Jiu pondered in his heart.
"Hehe, tomorrow I must bet on our fifth team to win." At this moment, Bakus suddenly grinned.
"Oh? Which part do you want to bet on? The champion of the East Suburbs Division, or the final district championship?" Lei Zi asked with a smile.
"Well... I'll bet on our first game tomorrow..." Bakus said with a slightly embarrassed smile.
"Tsk! Big black guy, do you have so little confidence in our Fifth Team? In my opinion, we should at least win the East Suburb Division championship! Don't you think so, Alva?" Bella gave Bakus a disdainful look and said to the blonde beauty Alva.
“This…” Elva, who was sitting next to Bacchus, smiled bitterly with hesitation on her face. Then she looked at Bacchus lovingly, and then looked around at everyone and said, “You can’t blame Bacchus for not having confidence. After all, you have to know that the best result of our Night Rose Mercenary Group over the years is only winning the East Suburb Division Championship twice. However, the first team that won the East Suburb Division Championship was unfortunately wiped out in a mission later … And then, even Thor’s first team just made it to the fifth district finals, but failed in the end. Not to mention that our fifth team has just risen not long ago, and the team members are not experienced enough. Compared with the ace teams of other mercenaries, we really don’t have much advantage…”
Bella was speechless when she heard Elva's defense of Bacchus. She took a sip of beer with a depressed look on her face.
"Hehe, Bella, you have to know that they are husband and wife after all. How could Elva not speak for the big black guy?" Lei Zi smiled gloatingly, then took a sip of wine, shook his head and said, "However, although what Elva said makes sense, Thor's main reason for that was because he met the ace team of the Blood Wolf Mercenaries. After all, the opponent is a two-star mercenary group, and its strength is indeed much stronger than our one-star mercenary groups. Of course, now that our fifth team has my brother Li Jiu, we don't have to be afraid of the Blood Wolf Mercenaries anymore."
"Yes, with Brother Li Jiu here, I don't think there is anything to be afraid of the Blood Wolf Mercenaries." Scar Brother also nodded with a smile.
Everyone nodded and looked at Li Jiu with excitement.
Thinking that the Fifth Team had Li Jiu, a person with infinite possibilities, the team members instantly regained their confidence.
However, everyone saw that Li Jiu was frowning at this time, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Li Jiu, what's wrong with you?" Seeing this scene, Kaqi frowned slightly and asked with concern.
"I suddenly remembered a question..." Li Jiu muttered, with a thoughtful look on his face. After a moment of silence, he looked at everyone and said, "Since everyone knows that the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group is the only two-star mercenary group in the fifth district, and their strength far exceeds that of our one-star mercenary groups, then why do those financial groups still hold gambling competitions? If everyone bets on the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group to win, then won't they lose a lot of money?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, it seemed that no one had really thought about this question.
Right, since everyone knows that the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group is so awesome and far more powerful than other mercenary groups, why would we bet on it? Wouldn't it be the greatest chance of winning if we just bet on the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group?
"I know this..." At this moment, Xiaodao, who had been silent, suddenly put down , but his expression was still very cold.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Xiaodao.
"Oh? Why?" Li Jiu asked curiously.
“Because even though the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group is indeed the only two-star mercenary group in the Fifth District, this does not mean that there are really no mercenary groups in the Fifth District that can compete with them.” Xiaodao said calmly with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"As far as I know, apart from the strongest Western Suburbs Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, the Eastern Suburbs Fiery Mercenary Group, the Northern Suburbs Black Wind Mercenary Group, and the Southern Suburbs Ghost Mist Mercenary Group, these three mercenary groups can be called quasi-two-star mercenary groups. Their strength is actually very close to that of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group. It's just that the leaders of these three mercenary groups have not met the standards of a two-star mercenary group in terms of certain conditions, so they can only be called one-star mercenary groups for the time being." Xiaodao explained slowly.
"Also, if I'm not mistaken, since everyone knows that the Blood Wolf Mercenaries are extremely powerful, it's almost certain that they will win the Western Suburbs Championship. Therefore, they can only participate in the third part of the gambling game, and will not appear in the gambling game list of the first two parts."
After listening to Xiaodao's explanation, everyone finally showed a look of sudden enlightenment.
"I see... That is to say, in the first two parts of the gambling game, the Blood Wolf Mercenaries cannot be bet on to win..." Li Jiu said thoughtfully.
"Yeah, that's right, that should be the case." Xiaodao nodded.
"Brother, why do you care about this? Do you want to suppress the Blood Wolf Mercenaries?" Lei Zi joked, holding a wine glass.
"Haha, do you think it's possible?" Li Jiu raised his lips and shook his head indifferently, "I just studied the gambling game a little bit, so I'm a little curious."
After finishing speaking, Li Jiu also picked up the wine glass and moistened his throat.
"Hehe, I said it's impossible, how could Little Leo not have confidence in himself?" Bella held the wine glass and winked at Li Jiu. It looked like she was flirting with Li Jiu, and Li Jiu couldn't help but feel scared... Fortunately, after he secretly glanced at Kaqi, he saw that she didn't seem to see what happened just now, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief...
"Honestly, if you want to take a gamble in the auditions, I suggest you just bet on our fifth team to win the fifth district championship. This way you can earn more." After a brief pause, Li Jiu suddenly said with a faint smile, a calm and confident look on his face.
Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard this, and then they all showed a hesitant look.
Because, although everyone has confidence in Li Jiu, they don’t have enough confidence in themselves...
If, under Li Jiu's leadership, the Fifth Squad can win the East Suburbs championship, then everyone is at least half confident... But if they want to win the Fifth District championship, then I'm afraid there are only one or two points left...
"Okay! Brother, just because of your confidence, I, Scar, will take out half of my savings tomorrow and bet it all on your fifth team to win the championship!" Scar Brother was so excited that the scars on his face twitched with excitement and he raised the bar high.
"Haha, Scar, don't worry. If you really bet, you will make a lot of money this time." Li Jiu said with a smile, raised his glass and clinked it with Scar Brother, then drank it all in one gulp.
Afterwards, Li Jiu filled another glass of wine, raised it in front of him, looked around at everyone and said, "Okay, let's end this party here. Don't drink too much, this is the last glass. Go back and rest early after drinking. Rest well tomorrow, adjust your state, and prepare to start a big fight!"
After Li Jiu and his teammates finished their drinks, he took the initiative to pay the bill and returned to his respective residences.
