1703 The temptation of a million gold coins of destiny (1)
“Isn’t Yingying’s luck too good?”
Seeing the young man fall into the sewer and the entrance sealed, the guests who had bet that the young man would die were all stunned.
If this kid didn’t die, their gold coin of destiny would be gone. Although this kind of thing required one to be willing to gamble and accept the loss, it would be a lie to say that they didn’t feel heartache.
The guests who had bet on the young man’s escape cheered in joy. They didn’t expect that they would win after betting on an unpopular bet.
After calculating the odds, their faces were filled with joy and they congratulated each other.
A slight smile also surfaced on Tang Zhen’s face. It seemed like his luck was really able to affect the young man. Otherwise, the chances of the young man escaping alive in that kind of dangerous situation would be extremely low.
However, there was one thing that Tang Zhen could not understand. Just by looking at the disaster simulation scene earlier, he knew that the chances of this young man surviving were extremely low. But why did this gambling den open for business?
If all the guests bet on the young man’s death and the other party really died, even if the odds were extremely low, they would still lose money and make a profit.
Could it be that this casino could control the young man’s fate and his life?
On second thought, it was unlikely. These guests were not fools. If the casino could control the young man’s life and death, it would have been discovered long ago. How could it have been operating until now?
After thinking about it, there must be something he hadn’t thought of, and the casino must have a way to make money.
Just as they were pondering, the host’s voice rang out once more,”He escaped from a great disaster. I reckon that this young man has the power of destiny on him. This is even more interesting.
since such a situation has occurred, then according to the usual practice, we will add a new bet on how many waves this young man can last.
Starting from the second wave, the odds will gradually increase. Everyone is welcome to place your bets. The betting will be closed in ten minutes!”
After the announcement, the guests looked at each other, but they did not place their bets as crazily as they did in the first round.
This was because this kind of gamble was far less satisfying than a wave of life and death. There were only two choices, life and death. There were a total of ten waves of tribulations, and no one could determine the accurate result.
Who knew if the young man would survive the fourth or fifth wave if he were to bet that he would die in the third wave?
However, there were still many guests who placed their bets on the second wave. Although the young man was quite lucky, he was chosen by the disaster astrolabe, so the chances of him surviving were very low.
Even if he was blessed by the power of fate, as long as he was not the son of fate, he would die without a doubt!
As for the chances of him choosing the child of destiny, it could be completely ignored. The effects of the astrolabe of disaster were special, and it definitely wouldn’t treat the child of destiny as prey. Otherwise, it was very likely that he would suffer a backlash.
This casino had a long history, and there had never been a similar example, so there was no need to worry.
Ten minutes was not a long time. The guests thought for a while and chose to place their bets.
Tang Zhen was not in a hurry. He merely continued to tear his luck card as he smilingly looked at the betting board that had appeared in front of him. On it was the number of people who had bet from the second to the tenth wave.
The further back they went, the fewer people placed their bets. From the fifth wave onwards, there were already very few people who placed their bets.
The coin of destiny was not an ordinary item, and no one would spend it recklessly.
Time passed slowly. Just as there were only 30 seconds left on the betting time and the betting was about to close, the betting board suddenly changed. Behind the option to bet on the young man surviving the tenth wave of the catastrophe, there really was a gambler.
This man was quite generous, actually directly offering 1000 gold coins of destiny. He was really rich!
While the guests were envious, they were also secretly disdainful. They thought that this person was either too conceited or he really didn’t lack money. He actually dared to bet on the option with the highest odds.
If he really succeeded, these 1000 gold coins of destiny could be turned into 1000000!
One million, just thinking about it made one’s heart jump. Even the old Destiny’s Child didn’t have such a rich net worth, right?
As for whether the casino would be able to pay the money, he did not have to worry about it. It had been running the casino for many years, and it could afford to pay one million destiny gold coins.
The casino wouldn’t go back on their word, otherwise, if their signboard was ruined, who would still dare to come here?
Everyone understood the logic, but who could be so lucky?
Just as he was mulling over this, the betting time ended. After the bets were closed, the second wave of disasters began to follow the young man.
In the disaster simulation demonstration, the young man climbed out from another exit of the sewer. He looked very miserable, but just as he got up, a car sped over and hit him, sending him flying.
&Nbsp; just from the speed of the car, one would know that if a normal person was hit, they would definitely die.
When the demonstration ended, the guests placed their bets. However, this time, the number of people who bet on the young man surviving the disaster was much higher. Only 20% of the guests bet that the young man would survive the disaster.
Tang Zhen still bet that the young man would be able to escape from death. He still used 500 gold coins of destiny, and his expression was extremely calm.
After the bets were placed, the screen began.
The teenager who had fallen into the sewer was frightened. He didn’t care about the wounds on his body and the foul-smelling water around him. He quickly climbed up and found that the exit was completely blocked. There was no way to get out.
Being in an enclosed environment where oxygen was very thin and harmful gases could kill people at any time, the young man panicked.
Just as he was feeling anxious, the young man saw a rat climb out of the water behind him. When the rat saw the young man, it screamed and turned around to climb back into the wall of the sewer.
The young man’s eyes widened and he immediately realized that the sewer was not sealed, but connected to other places.
In the dirty water, a one-meter-thick cement pipe was stuck to the wall. If one did not look carefully, they would not be able to see it.
He squatted down and saw that the cement pipe was half filled with dirty water, but there was still a small gap.
There seemed to be a faint trace of light.
The young man didn’t dare to hesitate any longer, or he would be killed by the poisonous gas. Since he couldn’t get out of here, he could only take the risk and try.
Thinking of this, the young man immediately went into the cement pipe, covered his nose, and squatted down, moving forward.
In the dark and narrow space, the young man’s head was constantly touched, and blood flowed down his cheeks.
This young man was strong. He knew that if he hesitated, he would die, so even if his head was bleeding, he continued to move forward.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the young man finally rushed out and arrived at another sewer.
Looking at the sunlight shining down from above, the young man was so excited that he almost cried out. He quickly climbed up the reinforced handrail that had been pre-buried in the sewer and slammed the manhole cover.
The fresh air hit his face and the young man cheered in his heart. He used all his strength to push the manhole cover aside and climbed up with difficulty.
Just as the young man climbed out of the ground, a truck was moving fast on the street around the corner, heading straight for the young man.
The driver accidentally saw a collapsed building on the street next to him. His attention was drawn to it, and he didn’t notice a person crawling out of the ground.
The young man did not know that danger was approaching. He just greedily breathed in the fresh air and tried to stand up.
Perhaps it was because he had risen too violently, or perhaps the poisonous gas in the sewer had taken effect, but the young man suddenly felt his vision go black and he fell to the ground.
It was also at this moment that the truck rushed over. It was only a short distance away and the young man’s head would be opened.
After that, the young man rode on the truck and drove away.
