Lin Yu said jokingly, “It’s not complicated, I can understand it. These guys really make a lot of money.”
“Yinger, I see there are still several thousand-times odds for scores.”
“Hehe, if someone actually wins by betting on such a score, those guys on the other side of the internet would definitely run, right?”
Mo Shangying curved her lips and said confidently, “Don’t worry, they wouldn’t dare to run, not with me here.”
In his previous life, at the same moment, Lin Yu would have definitely thought to himself, “What are you bragging about?!”
These big bookmakers, would they be afraid of a twenty-something girl who can barely walk steadily?
But now…
They really are afraid!
The girl sitting… no, squatting on the chair, is a top-ranked hacker in the world.
Which bookmaker would dare to try to run under her nose? She could online-destroy all of their assets!
With such a little immortal overseeing things, there’s no need to worry about them not paying out.
Lin Yu was ecstatic: “Amazing, amazing, amazing, as expected of Yinger! I want to bet…”
Mo Shangying held up five fingers, interrupting him: “Five hundred yuan, at most five hundred yuan, okay?”
“Manuscript fees are hard-earned money; you can’t invest so much in something like this.”
“You don’t even like watching football, five hundred is already a lot.”
“If you want to invest more, I’ll directly tell Qimeng Auntie.”
“After all, this isn’t a good thing.”
Lin Yu: “…”
If it’s not a good thing, why are you still betting?
And even “saving money” for others?
Is this saving money?
Isn’t this losing money!
6500 times 500 yuan…
Lin Yu quickly calculated in his head; it would be over 3 million yuan in returns.
The multi-millionaire instantly felt a bit shorter!
However.
Over 3 million yuan would be more than enough to solve the 【Sect Protection Grand Plan】.
As for making money, with the system and his experience from his previous life, would he still need to worry?
Five hundred it is; it’s better than nothing.
Lin Yu was originally trying to figure out what kind of excuse he could use to make betting on a high score seem less abrupt.
He even considered whether to bet on several scores, like mixing fish eyes with pearls, to throw some smoke bombs.
Now, the budget was slashed from eight thousand to five hundred.
What smoke bombs would he throw? Just go all in!
“Yinger, to be honest, I actually had a dream about football last night.”
“I dreamt of an immortal who told me a score.”
“I’ve decided to use my entire six hundred yuan budget to bet on this score… seven to one!”
Lin Yu raised his hand and pointed at the 【7-1 (6500 times)】 on the screen.
Mo Shangying was stunned on the spot: “How much? Seven to one?!”
If you say Lin Yu was serious, he gave such a ridiculous reason.
If you say Lin Yu was ridiculous, he gave such a ridiculous reason.
Mo Shangying: “Xiao Yuzi, are you an idiot, or are you taking me for an idiot?”
Lin Yu: “What are you talking about? What do you mean, taking you for an idiot?”
Mo Shangying: “Seven to one! Seven to one, do you know what that concept means?!”
Next.
Mo Shangying was like a pea shooter on fast-forward.
She recounted the World Cup semifinals throughout history:
What was the biggest score in a World Cup semifinal…
Historically, there had never been a six-goal lead massacre in a semifinal…
The special attribute of the host country, others would save face for them…
From all angles, she rambled on for five minutes.
Until Mo Shangying’s mouth was almost dry, she asked again:
“This is football, do you understand, Xiao Yuzi? Now do you still believe Germany can score seven goals in a semifinal?”
Lin Yu gave a thumbs up and replied, “Knowledgeable, impressive. I choose to believe the Football Immortal, six hundred on seven to one.”
Mo Shangying: “…”
She was extremely regretful at this moment.
After seeing Lin Yu’s balance, she had given him such a high investment limit.
If she had known he was going to bet on such a preposterous score, and even make up a story about a Football Immortal in a dream.
She should have just said one hundred, or fifty.
Mo Shangying reluctantly placed her hand on the mouse, and after entering the numbers, she suddenly reacted: “That’s not right, we just agreed on five hundred, how did it become six hundred?”
Lin Yu hurriedly held Mo Shangying’s hand and said with a chuckle, “Six hundred is auspicious, five hundred doesn’t sound good, let’s round it up.”
Mo Shangying: “…”
Rounding five hundred to six hundred, you call that rounding up?
Unable to argue with Lin Yu.
Mo Shangying simply let him throw in an extra hundred, thinking he would learn his lesson after losing once:
“To give you a sense of participation, come and enter the verification code you received on your phone.”
Lin Yu: “…”
This was the first time he heard that entering a verification code for a transfer was for a sense of participation.
You’re a pure bandit!
Didn’t that clearly tell Lin Yu that she could easily transfer the money without a verification code?
Look how capable she was.
He would forgive her this time for now.
Betting an extra hundred meant earning over six hundred thousand more.
The joyful mood completely overshadowed Mo Shangying’s smugness.
Ultimately.
She still had the personality of a little girl, just with a higher IQ.
When Lin Yu brought up the absurd “Football Immortal,” Mo Shangying’s attention was entirely focused on the Football Immortal.
She didn’t realize at all.
Lin Yu’s real focus was actually on betting an extra hundred.
A little bit of social experience.
Compared to the outrageous statement about the Football Immortal, betting an extra hundred seemed utterly insignificant.
When doing something, first present a ridiculous argument, and then state the true request; it’s easier to get things done.
If he had directly proposed, “I want to bet an extra hundred on seven to one,” he would definitely have been rejected on the spot.
“It’s done! We agreed to watch the game together tonight. If you can’t get up, we’ll definitely drag you up and beat you.”
Mo Shangying said, waving her small fists.
As she waved, she tried to sneak attack his lower body again.
Lin Yu arched his back and skillfully dodged again, leaving Mo Shangying swinging at air: “You two… who exactly is the other person watching the game in our Apartment?”
Mo Shangying made a zipping motion over her mouth: “It’s a secret! I’ll give you a surprise in your room tonight!”
Lin Yu: “My room?”
Mo Shangying: “What did you think? Your bedroom in the Apartment is the largest, it’s simply the chosen room for watching the game!”
Lin Yu: “Alright, my room it is.”
Thinking of the millions he was about to gain, where he watched didn’t matter.
【Ding!】
【Heavenly Show Operation! Willing to provide lodging for Sect Elders’ entertainment, deeply pleasing the Elders!】
【Reward: 20 Spirit Stones】
Hearing the system’s prompt.
Lin Yu’s attention returned to the system.
Of the three tasks related to Mo Shangying, the football game one was halfway completed.
After the game ended in the early morning, it would likely be settled.
Two tasks remained: 【Formation Dao Discussion (Urgent Task)】 and 【Hidden Injury and Illness (Daily Task)】.
What ‘Formation Dao Discussion’ was, he couldn’t figure out from the prompt for now.
Perhaps it was related to her business partners in the outside world?
‘Hidden Injury and Illness’ was relatively easy to understand.
There was an official detailed medical examination report!
【Cold hands and feet and spleen-stomach deficiency and cold】.
Mo Shangying herself had also concluded that she was otherwise very healthy.
Cold hands and feet and spleen-stomach deficiency and cold were inherently common symptoms.
Cold hands and feet, the most common reason, was a symptom caused by insufficient blood supply.
Blood not being able to properly supply the extremities of the body might be related to lack of exercise and work environment.
Looking closely at Mo Shangying’s working posture, squatting on the chair… her waist and legs would sooner or later have problems!
Lin Yu didn’t understand the world of geniuses; could it be that working while squatting on a chair had some magical bonus?
Regarding cold hands and feet and spleen-stomach deficiency and cold, Lin Yu began to ponder.
What could he do for Mo Shangying?
After a moment of thought…
Lin Yu: “!!!”
That’s right.
He almost forgot the skill book he had just acquired!
