Jiang Feng got out of the car and walked straight to the betting shop on the ground floor of the Quantum Building. Meanwhile, people were coming and going on the bustling street. Jiang Feng walked into the shop and saw many people standing inside, most of them young people, and buying lottery tickets.

The owner of the shop was full of smiles. He was very happy that the Chinese national soccer team had been able to enter the World Cup this time. After all, this development had brought him a lot of revenue.

“Boss, give me ten winning lottery tickets for the Chinese national soccer team!”

“Don’t you want to guess the score, young man?”

“No, no, no. Who could guess the score this time? 10-0, 8-1. The range is too wide. It’s not like the usual 1-1,1-2 matches, when it’s easier to guess.”

“Hahaha, that’s true. This time, we’ll definitely crush them. Who knows, we might even create world history!”

As a man spoke, the owner of the shop was taking bets and chatting loudly.

The customers in the shop were also in high spirits. “Haha, the national team will definitely crush the Syrian soccer team!”

“Of course. I’ve seen all these players. Some of them are people who were pulled out of the crowd temporarily. They don’t even know how to kick a ball!”

“The whole country of Syria depends on Mohammed alone, but he’s already old. He’s been a veteran for many years, and he needs to retire.”

“How can they win with only one amazing player? Our team is full of powerful players. Let’s crush them!”

“Hahaha, if Syria wins tomorrow, I’ll run around Shanghai Stadium!”

“Boss, give me 10 lottery tickets for the national soccer game, and two more for an 8-1 game score!”

“Okay!”

“Tomorrow, the national soccer team will definitely win! Won’t it be easy to beat Syria?”

When someone mentioned this topic in the shop, the customers’ enthusiasm instantly soared. Everyone was unbelievably happy. Many young people were extremely confident that the national soccer team would win tomorrow, and it would be a crushing victory! The owner of the shop was also extremely excited. He kept talking, sounding very thrilled. After the few people in front of him placed their bets, Jiang Feng finally reached the front of the line.

“Little brother, how many wagers do you want to place? Do you want to guess the score or something?

“The odds of guessing the score are even higher. The highest odds are a hundred times higher than normal!” the owner told Jiang Feng with a face full of enthusiasm.

Jiang Feng raised his head and looked at the small TV in front of the counter. It showed the current lineup for the top 12 matches tomorrow. The betting odds for each winning match were 1:1.25, but the betting odds for the winning match against Syria were 1:3. Of course, they could also guess the score would be 1:1,1:2, 2:1, and so on. The betting odds for each score were also different.

Jiang Feng glanced around, but he did not carefully check the betting odds for each score. A thought flashed through his mind, and the golden card immediately appeared in front of him. After Jiang Feng used it, it directly turned into specks of fluorescent light and dissipated.

[Ding! The Super-Prediction Card has been used successfully. The national soccer team will score 1:5 against the Syrian team. The national soccer team will suffer a crushing defeat!]

Upon hearing the voice in his mind, Jiang Feng could not help but laugh in his heart. This was completely different from the chaotic massacre everyone was talking about. It was a 10:0 crushing defeat.

However, when he saw the result, Jiang Feng’s expression remained calm. After all, this was the true level of the national soccer team that he had seen. Now that he knew the result, Jiang Feng looked up at the odds. The national soccer team would lose 1:5 to Syria. This was a situation no one had expected. Plus, the odds were 100 times higher!

Jiang Feng looked again. It turned out that the odds of 1:4 were 100 times higher too. It seemed that everyone, including all the organizations and evaluators, had high hopes for the national soccer team this time! In their opinion, the national soccer team would never lose. On the contrary, the odds of 3:1 were lower!

“Boss, place a one-million bid for me!” Jiang Feng withdrew his gaze and looked at the owner of the shop in front of him.

Upon hearing this, the owner was shocked at first. Then, he was overjoyed and he immediately began to humor him. “Handsome, a one-million-yuan bet, huh? What do you think? Will you bet on the national soccer team’s victory?”

The people who had bought lottery tickets were about to leave, but when they heard Jiang Feng’s words, they all stopped in their tracks. Everyone’s eyes were focused on him. Most of them had only bet a few tens of dollars, at most a few thousand or tens of thousands of dollars. Naturally, Jiang Feng’s one-million-yuan bid shocked everyone.

“Who is he? I don’t think this handsome guy is from one of the biggest families in Shanghai.”

“Yeah, this is too extravagant. He just spent a million yuan!”

“Let’s see what this rich second-generation guy will bet on. A million yuan is a ruthless bet!”

Jiang Feng shook his head when he heard the shop owner’s words.

“I’ll bet on the defeat of the national soccer team. I’ll bet one million on the score being 1:5!” Jiang Feng said calmly to the shop owner.

The reason he was only betting one million was to keep a low profile. He didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. If he were to bet millions or tens of millions on such an abnormal score, he would definitely attract the attention of the Zhuang Family and make people investigate him, which would cause a lot of trouble. As for betting tens of millions or even billions of dollars, it was needless to say why he wasn’t. The result of the match would probably be the exact opposite, and he would lose everything!

Therefore, Jiang Feng only took out one million for the bet. Keeping a low profile would not cause him any trouble. Besides, he knew very well that with these odds, one million would become one hundred million! One hundred million was enough! Jiang Feng wasn’t that greedy. Earning money gradually was the right way to make it last.

But when the shop owner heard Jiang Feng’s words, he was dumbfounded. “Handsome, the national soccer team will definitely win this time. Do you want to think about it again?”

Although the shop owner still respected Jiang Feng very much, in his heart, he already thought that Jiang Feng was a lunatic. Gambling on this almost impossible event was akin to throwing money into the water! The reason he warned Jiang Feng was because he was afraid that Jiang Feng would lose money tomorrow and go there to cause trouble.

“He’s betting a million yuan on that result? Are rich kids nowadays throwing money away?”

“Is this a gift to the shop? I really don’t understand.”

“He’s really a fool. Let’s go, let’s go. He’ll come back crying tomorrow!”

The customers in the shop whispered as they watched. The way they looked at Jiang Feng had changed, and they now looked as if they were looking at a fool.

“It’s my decision. You can place the bet!” Jiang Feng looked at the shop owner and directly scanned the code to transfer the money.

“Okay, I’ll do it right away.” Seeing that Jiang Feng insisted, the shop owner didn’t stop him and directly placed the bet.

After taking the lottery ticket, Jiang Feng glanced at it and confirmed that there was no problem, then turned around and left. The shop owner and the other customers pointed at his back as he walked away, but Jiang Feng didn’t care what they said. Everything would be revealed by the end of the match tomorrow!

...

After walking out of the betting shop, Jiang Feng walked toward his car. Before he reached the roadside, he heard a sound coming from his car from afar. Jiang Feng looked over and saw that his car was already surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.

However, among the crowd, Jiang Feng noticed a man touching the roof of the car and broadcasting on his phone.

“Brothers, we’re here in the Shanghai CBD area.

“I’ll park the car here and then take everyone to the building to take a look!”

As the man spoke, he deliberately went around to the front of the car to get a panoramic view! While he looked at this guy, the corners of Jiang Feng’s mouth formed a hint of a smile.
