Chapter 406: Redeem the bet
After defeating Helian Moming, Chen Kai naturally became the first place in the Cangyuanzhou Qianlong and Chicken Phoenix List competition. (The second place after Chen Kai is naturally Helian Moming, the third place is Qi Wangchuan, the fourth place is Yuebaimen and Ye Qinghe...
Seeing Chen Kai walk down the ring, Luo Shuang couldn't help but come forward to greet him, gave Chen Kai a hug, and then said with a smile: "Chen Kai, the first place! Hehe."
Chen Kai looked at Luo Shuang and couldn't help but smile. The people around him looked at Chen Kai, their eyes full of respect, envy, etc.
Before this, no one would have thought that this competition would suddenly appear a super 'dark horse' like Chen Kai, who was so angry that he was just twenty years old and won the first place.
The school stadium was filled with people's discussions. At this time, a deacon from the five major Tianzong walked onto the ring and officially announced the specific rankings of the top ten of the competition in the face of tens of thousands of people in the school stadium.
As for the specific rankings after the tenth, they will be announced in the form of listings and will not be read out one by one.
After the deacon announced the specific rankings of the top ten, he also informed Chen Kai and ten people that the Jiuzhou Grand Tournament will be held in "Jiangzhou" in more than a month. At that time, you can go there by yourself, or wait for the arrangements of the five major Tianzongs in Sangyuan City and follow the people of the five major Tianzongs to go there.
After the deacons of the five major Tianzong announced these things, the competition in Sangyuan City was officially over. Tens of thousands of people in the schoolyard left one after another.
Although it was already night, people were still excitedly discussing the competition when they left the school grounds. The entire Sangyuan City seemed to be in a hustle and bustle, and it was difficult to calm down.
Chen Kai and Luo Shuang returned to the inn directly. When they returned to the inn, they immediately received the warm welcome from the inn shopkeeper. Chen Kai won the title and Luo Shuang's top ten had already been passed back to the inn.
When he thought that the two geniuses who were the first and eighth in the Qianlong and Chicken Phoenix Competition were both living in their inn, the inn shopkeeper felt excited and excited. He was not stupid. In the future, he would just use the reputation of Chen Kai and Luo Shuang to play a sign. It would be difficult for him to have a bad business in this inn, and it would definitely attract many people to stay in the hotel.
"Mr. Chen, Miss Luo, congratulations to both of them for being in the top ten of the Qianlong and Chicken Phoenix List in Cangyuanzhou! I would also like to congratulate Mr. Chen on winning the championship in one fell swoop!"
Seeing Chen Kai and Luo Shuang approaching the inn, the shopkeeper who had been waiting at the entrance in advance immediately greeted him with a smile and warm expression, "You two must have not had a meal yet, right? I have ordered the chef to prepare the best food and food for you to congratulate you, and also ask Mr. Chen and Miss Luo to enjoy the scenery..."
Chen Kai and Luo Shuang couldn't help but look at each other, then looked at the smiling shopkeeper, and then said, "Thank you for your kindness, but this is not very good."
"This is what it should be. It is a great joy for Mr. Chen and Miss Luo to be on the list of Hidden Dragons and Phoenixes at the same time, so I should celebrate it. It is my honor to be able to entertain two of you. I would like to invite Mr. Chen, Miss Luo, to give me this opportunity."
The inn shopkeeper said.
Seeing this, Chen Kai stopped hesitating, and there was only one meal left. It just so happened that he and Luo Shuang had not had dinner yet. "So, I would like to thank the shopkeeper."
"It's OK. It's OK. Come on, come on, please come on, please let the chef bring all the wine and food..." The shopkeeper hurriedly led Chen Kai and Luo Shuang into the store. He sat down on the Yase that had been prepared, and then immediately ordered the kitchen to bring the food that had been prepared.
Chen Kai and Luo Shuang were not polite either. Both of them were indeed hungry. The inn shopkeeper just toasted Chen Kai and Luo Shuang with two glasses of wine and retreated without disturbing them to eat.
The news that Chen Kai won the championship had spread at this time. Many people who lived in the same inn with Chen Kai were also gathered in the inn lobby and watched Chen Kai and Luo Shuang.
Fortunately it was already night, and no one else came to watch. It was just the other people who lived in this inn. Not many.
Halfway through Chen Kai and Luo Shuang's meal, Liu Xiaosan, who had already gone to the gambling house to cash out his gambling funds, also came over and came to congratulate and thank Chen Kai.
"Congratulations to the young master for winning the championship in one fell swoop, and congratulations to the lady for being in the top ten!" When Liu Xiaosan saw Chen Kai and Luo Shuang who were having dinner, he hurried over to congratulate him.
Then he said excitedly: "I'm very happy, thank you for your support, hehe."
Chen Kai looked at Liu Xiaosan with an excited face, couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that you have made a lot of money. Have you had dinner? If not, sit and eat something together."
"Hey, thank you young master!" Liu Xiaosan replied with a smile. These days he also knew that Chen Kai was easy-going and had no airs, so he was not pretentious and sat down aside.
Chen Kai directly asked the shopkeeper to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks to Liu Xiaosan, and chatted with Liu Xiaosan casually while eating. After dinner, Liu Xiaosan also said goodbye tactfully, while Chen Kai and Luo Shuang went back to their guest room directly.
"Chen Kai, the Jiuzhou Grand Tournament will not start until more than a month later. Are we in Sangyuan City during this period? Or where to go?" After returning to the room, Luo Shuang couldn't help but ask.
"Just stay in Sangyuan City. We don't know how to go to Jiangzhou. We only have more than a month, so there is no need to go around anymore. We won't be able to arrive in Jiangzhou to participate in the competition."
After a pause, Chen Kai continued: "We will be able to practice with peace of mind during this period. I guess the true energy in my body can reach 80% in less than a month. Sister Shuang, you should try to improve your cultivation to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Condensation in more than a month."
Chen Kai and his friends have spirit stones and many inferior spiritual medicines. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is five or six times stronger than that of the outside world. More than a month is enough to improve their cultivation level a lot.
"Well, okay, I'll listen to you. Then let's practice here with peace of mind for a month." Luo Shuang responded.
One night passed.
The next morning, after breakfast at the inn, Chen Kai said to Luo Shuang: "Sister Shuang, go, let's go to the gambling house to withdraw the gambling funds."
At that time, Chen Kai bets a total of 15,000 taels of silver on himself, of which 10,000 taels are the top three bets, and 5,000 taels are the top bets.
When Chen Kai bet, his odds in the top three were 80 yuan, and the odds in the first place were as high as 100 yuan! Now that he successfully won the first place, he naturally won both bets, and the total amount was 1.3 million taels of silver!
Such a huge sum of money can be called a silver mountain.
"Yes, OK!" Luo Shuang responded.
The two of them called a carriage and went directly to the 'Ronghe Gambling House'. This was the gambling house where Chen Kai betted.
The competition ended last night. Except for a small number of people who came to cash out the bet last night, most of them only went to various gambling shops to cash out the bet today.
There were not many gamblers in Ronghe's gambling house who came to cash in on the bets. However, when Chen Kai and Luo Shuang walked in, the people immediately looked at them, with a little astonishment.
Now Chen Kai and Luo Shuang are already "celebrities" in Sangyuan City, and who do not know anyone? Because they recognized the identities of Chen Kai and Luo Shuang, those people were a little surprised that they appeared in this gambling house.
Not to mention those gamblers, even Rong and the people in the gambling house were not clear about it, but there was still a servant who came forward to greet him immediately.
When Chen Kai came to place a bet, no one knew him at all, so it was normal for the casino servants to not know about him.
"We are here to get the gambling money, this is a gambling account." Chen Kai directly took out his gambling account and handed it to the people in the gambling house.
When the other party saw Chen Kai's gambling, he was stunned and then suddenly looked up at Chen Kai. After a while, he came to his senses. "You, please wait a moment, the younger one will report to the shopkeeper."
"Yes." Chen Kai nodded slightly, looked at the gambling house, and sat down and waited with Luo Shuang.
After a while, the shopkeeper of the gambling shop trotted out, his face full of smiles. However, no matter how he looked at the smile, he looked a little like he wanted to cry...
The shopkeeper of the gambling shop had no idea who was so optimistic about Chen Kai from the beginning, so he directly lent more than 10,000 taels of silver on Chen Kai. Now Chen Kai came with the gambling deposit and suddenly realized.
It turned out that it was the bet I made for myself. No wonder I was so confident that I was directly in the top three, or even the first one.
"Young Master Chen, I have made you wait for a long time..." Although I felt bloody in my heart, the gambling shopkeeper still came forward with a smile.
"Well. I have no problem with getting the gambling money, right?" Chen Kai glanced at the other party, nodded lightly and said.
"No problem, no problem!" Even though I was reluctant, for the hundreds of years of reputation of "Ronghe Gambling", the bet must be fulfilled, otherwise the "Ronghe Gambling" would not be able to continue to open in the future.
But when he thought that it was a total of 1.3 million taels of silver, which was almost 70% of the profit they earned in this competition, the shopkeeper couldn't help but feel a slight 'Dan's worry' in his heart...
"It's fine. Then ask the shopkeeper to give me half of the cash and half of the silver bills." Chen Kai said. After saying that, he added, "It's best if it can be exchanged for equal value gold and gold bills."
"Okay, I'll help Mr. Chen exchange it for half of the gold and half of the gold tickets of the same value later." When the news of Chen Kai's winning the championship was returned last night, the shopkeeper of Ronghe's gambling shop was mentally prepared to pay the huge amount of the bet. Now when he saw the bet, he was Chen Kai himself. Although he felt very painful in his heart, he could only pay.
"Then I'll bother you." Chen Kai said.
The shopkeeper of the gambling shop asked Chen Kai and Luo Shuang to wait for a while. After about ten minutes, the shopkeeper brought people to carry two boxes and a stack of gold tickets in his hand.
"Mr. Chen, there are a total of 65,000 taels of gold here. These two boxes contain 32,500 taels of gold. Please ask Mr. Chen to count the number." The shopkeeper handed the gold ticket to Chen Kai and asked the person carrying the wooden box behind him to put the box in front of Chen Kai.
Chen Kai directly used his spiritual sense to confirm that the number of gold tickets and gold was correct. So he said generously: "No need to count, I believe in the credibility of Ronghe Gambling."
Chen Kai's words made Rong and the shopkeepers of the gambling house feel less painful. However, the gamblers in the gambling house around him saw the two big boxes in front of Chen Kai were all yellow and orange gold, and many people immediately stared at the eyes even more and almost saliva stayed.
Some people even looked at Chen Kai with flickering eyes, as if they wanted to make some bad ideas. However, when they thought that Chen Kai was the peerless genius ranked first in the Cangyuan Domain Hind Dragon and Phoenix List, those bad ideas could only be killed in their minds...
