Chapter 72 Game Day Begins

Lu Mingfei knew that his senior brother was a very independent person.

Although he seemed to be in a bright and glorious position, he always felt that he was living under someone else's roof and would not ask his stepfather for money if he could avoid it.

This time he lent me 2000 yuan, which was quite generous of him.

Since Senior Brother has already lent him 1000 more, should Liu Miaomiao borrow more? Lu Mingfei was thinking about this question.

Borrowing an extra 1000 yuan is an investment in his future. But the main reason is that he is in an ambiguous relationship with Liu Miaomiao. He feels a bit of a scumbag for borrowing money from a girl during the ambiguous period.

Never mind, let’s transfer the 2000 yuan to the little angel first.

Lu Mingfei took out the bank card number that Su Xiaoqiang had given him in advance, and transferred the 2000 yuan that had just been deposited into the bank card and was not even warm yet to Su Xiaoqiang.

As soon as I got home and logged into QQ, I received a message from Su Xiaoqiang.

Su Xiaoqiang: I received a text message from the bank, 2000 yuan, please tell me how to buy it.

路明非：你先在8月4号，买一个叫孙一峰（F91）的选手赢，然后在8月5号买他输。

Su Xiaoqiang: Buying to lose? Can't we only buy to win?

Lu Mingfei: Stupid, if you bet on the opponent of Sun Yifeng (F91) to win, isn’t that the same as betting on him to lose?

Su Xiaoqiang:......

Su Xiaoqiang: You are stupid, your whole family is stupid! Bah!
After Su Xiaoqiang finished replying this sentence, Toosaka Rin's avatar turned gray, as if she was angry with Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei didn't expect Su Xiaoqiang to be angry so soon. It seemed that when he quarreled with her in his previous life, she was much more venomous and more defensive than she is now.

I don’t know whether the little angel is really offline or has become invisible. Anyway, let me apologize to her first.

After all, she has helped me so much, so I can offend anyone but not the God of Wealth.

Even if she is really offline, she will be able to see her apology immediately when she comes back online.

Lu Mingfei: I didn’t mean to say you’re stupid, it’s just my habit of speaking. I’m sorry if it made you feel uncomfortable.

There was no reply, and Su Xiaoqiang’s avatar was still gray. I guess he was really offline.

……

A little later, on the top floor of the Black Prince Hotel in the imperial capital, Su Enxi's cell phone rang.

While she was enjoying a massage, she heard the phone ringing. She raised her head from the hole in the massage bed impatiently and took the phone from Lily.

Turning around, I saw a number engraved in my DNA. I was suddenly stunned and immediately answered the call.

"Hello, boss."

A strange yet familiar voice sounded on the other end of the phone: "Long time no see, Potato Chips."

"It's been a long time since we last met, boss." Su Enxi put the phone close to her ear, holding her breath, "Are you calling me this time to assign me a task?"

"Not really. I just saw that you've been working so hard lately, so I came to give you a bonus."

"give out bonus?"

Su Enxi curled her lips on the phone, thinking, "How long have I been in charge of the finances of such a large family? Don't I know your tricks? It's good enough that you don't take a large sum of money from me, and you even give me a bonus."

But even though I complain in my heart, I still have to give compliments out loud.

"Thank you for your concern, boss. It's my duty to work hard for our family. You don't have to give me a bonus... So which card will you deposit my bonus into?"

"Not cash. I'll teach you how to buy a bet on a match."

"Buy a match?"

"Yes, on August 8, in the WCG China finals, you go and bet on a player named Sun Yifeng to lose."

Su Enxi was stunned: "Bet on losing, what kind of routine is this?"

"You don't need to ask." The boss said, "Anyway, all you need to know is that he will definitely lose in the end."

"Okay, boss." Su Enxi knew that the boss rarely did things without confidence. Since the boss said it was so sure, what else could she think about? Of course, she would follow the boss's orders without reason.

“By the way, remember to buy it abroad, don’t buy Hong Kong sports lottery tickets,” the boss advised.

"Why?" Su Enxi asked.

"I'm afraid you'll lower the odds of the Hong Kong Sports Lottery."

……

Sun Yifeng, the famous StarCraft player known as the Chinese Insect King, was still preparing hard for the upcoming WCG China finals. He had no idea that two mysterious oriental forces had already quietly foreshadowed his fate with heavy bets.

……

August 8th, the first day of the WCG China Finals.

Just the day before the competition, Lu Mingfei finally made up his mind and asked Liu Miaomiao to borrow the 1000 yuan.

Liu Miaomiao was not in the city either. It seemed that she had gone out with her parents for something.

However, it was simpler than he expected. Liu Miaomiao, like his senior brother, lent him the money without asking him what he wanted to do with it, and transferred the 1000 yuan to him directly through bank transfer.

He had originally prepared a set of rhetoric that he himself thought was very bad to deal with Liu Miaomiao. But since he didn't have to use it, that was even better.

On this day, Lu Mingfei went to Xinyu Internet Cafe early, turned on a computer, and watched the WCG live broadcast around the clock.

The broken laptop and the internet speed at home were not fast enough for him to watch the live broadcast of the game.

Although he clearly remembered the outcome of this project in his previous life, he was also afraid that his return would cause a butterfly effect and change the original timeline.

There are a total of four competition events being held simultaneously today, namely Warcraft, StarCraft, Counter-Strike, and FIFA Football.

However, since Lu Mingfei only bet on StarCraft, he did not pay too much attention to the other three events. His computer was always on the live broadcast room of Sun Yifeng (F91)'s game.

Sun Yifeng's opponent is also a well-known domestic StarCraft player, Sha Junchun (PJ). Sun Yifeng got his best Zerg in this game. The two were evenly matched in the early stage, and Sha Junchun even had the advantage in the early and middle stages.

Just looking at the situation on the field, it is hard to imagine that Sha Junchun would lose this game.

But seeing the current situation, Lu Mingfei felt relieved because the trend of this game was exactly the same as he remembered.

As an expert Zerg player in StarCraft, Lu Mingfei had of course watched this classic battle countless times.

When the game entered the later offensive and defensive battles, Sha Junchun suddenly became ill, making several fatal mistakes in a row and eventually losing the game unexpectedly.

Sure enough, just as Lu Mingfei remembered, Sha Junchun made a mistake in a crucial move, and Sun Yifeng seized the opportunity and fought back.

Perhaps because he was a little anxious, after this wave of mistakes, Sha Junchun made several low-level mistakes one after another.

In the end, he lost the victory to his opponent and was sent to the loser group. This was also the first time he was sent to the loser group since participating in WCG.

However, although Sha Junchun was unexpectedly defeated by Sun Yifeng, Lu Mingfei also knew that this was actually the only time Sun Yifeng won in this competition.

In the next two games, Sun Yifeng suffered a disastrous defeat and finally finished fourth, missing out on the world championship.

Lu Mingfei closed the webpage and stretched lazily with satisfaction.

Before the game, he checked the odds of the game and found that Sun Yifeng's odds of winning were as high as 3.11.

After a simple division and deducting the relevant taxes, Lu Mingfei earned 6000 yuan from this game.

However, after checking the portal website, Lu Mingfei discovered that there were quite a few unexpected surprises today.

Not only did Sha Junchun lose, but the powerful Counter-Strike team wNv.cn also lost to Newlife 12:16 in the first game. The odds were even higher than those of StarCraft. This was a result that Lu Mingfei had never remembered.

But it’s normal not to remember. Lu Mingfei doesn’t pay much attention to CS projects, and the money still needs to be made with certainty.

The results of the first day were as expected. I hope the second day will be as smooth as today.

Brother Sun, come on!
