Chapter 1193: Only the Governor Can Set Fire

Xiao Peng received a lot of odds since he came in. In fact, the direction of the game and the strength of the players can be seen from the odds. Basically, all the odds are optimistic about Kambu winning the championship. As a result, the odds given to him by this black brother favored Kambu's opponent.

"Brother, you're not planning on getting something for nothing, are you?" Xiao Peng looked at the black man and said, "Are you planning on refusing to pay after losing?"

As a result, the black brother looked disdainful after hearing this: "I'm refusing to pay? Look at me!"

He opened his backpack to Xiao Peng, and inside it was surprisingly full of cash, at least two or three hundred thousand. "I came here to gamble with this money, how can I still run away? I just think there will be an upset today. Do you dare to come and gamble? Look, how many bets have I already received?"

He showed Xiao Peng some of the receipts he had, most of which were from betting on Kambu, ranging from a few yuan to several thousand yuan.

Xiao Peng laughed and said, "Brother, aren't you afraid of losing everything due to the high risk?"

"Then place your bet!" Black Brother said, "I, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, love the thrill of it all!"

"Puff!" Xiao Peng snorted, "What's your name? With all due respect, your size is a bit different from Johnson's."

The famous Hollywood actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is a famous muscular man, and the one in front of him...

It looks more like someone who has taken too many drugs.

Johnson said, "My name is Stone Johnson! Do I need to prove my real name?"

Xiao Peng could only give a thumbs-up. "Stone" means stone. He was right to call himself "The Rock." The Hollywood "The Rock" is actually Dwayne Johnson, and "The Rock" is his nickname.

"Brother, do you want to place a bet? It seems that you are very optimistic about that Kambu. Now is your chance to win money." Johnson also used the method of provoking.

Xiao Peng didn't hesitate after hearing this and directly took out a stack of money from his pocket: "Twenty thousand, bet on Cambu to win!"

"Twenty thousand?" Johnson said after hearing this: "I like the people of Daxia, they are always so generous!"

Judging from his tone, this is not his first time dealing with the Daxia people.

Xiao Peng was very disdainful. It was because he had no cash, otherwise he would have bet more.

After seeing this, Kasin couldn't help but say, "I want to bet on Cambu to win too!"

"And me!" Khedira also spoke!

Although Walter and Bruch didn't say anything, their eager expressions were written on their faces.

But Xiao Peng said, "Have you forgotten the rules? Join me in banning gambling!"

"Uh..." Walter and the others were speechless. You just placed the bet and you won't let us gamble?

Bruch complained, "Boss, you just made the bet yourself!"

Xiao Peng pointed at his nose and said, "What did you call me? Boss! Are you the boss?"

Now even Walter couldn't help but complain: "Okay, boss, I didn't understand what you meant when you taught me 'Only the officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps'. Now I understand!"

Xiao Peng took the betting slip that Hei Gege had given him and put it in his pocket. "Not letting you gamble is a good thing! I'm also trying to stop you from going down the wrong path at the root."

Walter and others looked disappointed, but never mentioned it again.

Now it can be seen that this is an amateur competition. After the host finished speaking, the competition did not start directly, but an artistic performance began. Some people on the stage began to dance.

These are students of this school, promoting their school in this way.

Xiao Peng had no idea what kind of dance this was. Everyone, dressed in traditional Chinese costumes, stood side by side, their left and right hands stretched out to grasp the hands of the person next to them. They formed a chain, then slowly walked a few steps to the left, then a few steps to the right, to the accompaniment of music. The music was like chanting...

Xiao Peng almost fell asleep from watching!

Walter was obviously not in a very good mood: "Why do we have to make such a big deal out of a good boxing match?"

Xiao Peng nodded and said, "Who said it wasn't?"

Walter said: "These people in the spinach industry are really omnipresent."

Xiao Peng laughed and said, "What do you think? Fighting, football, e-sports, and even live streaming are all hotbeds for gambling!"

Walter was stunned: "Boss, I understand what you said about fighting, football, and e-sports, but what does live streaming mean? How do you read money in live streaming?"

Xiao Peng explained, "Livestream gambling has developed beyond your imagination! Many livestreaming sites offer 'betting,' where the streamer sets odds before the match begins: things like how many kills I can get in this round, how many deaths I'll have, and so on, and lets viewers place bets. While it appears to be the livestreaming site's virtual currency, they publicly claim it has no economic value and can't be used as money. In reality, due to the existence of so-called 'guilds' within livestreaming sites, this virtual currency is useful to those guilds and streamers, leading to real, private transactions. It's exactly like gambling, except with the added process of exchanging virtual currency for real money."

"So that's how it is!" Walter suddenly realized.

"That's not all." Xiao Peng continued, "Do you remember when I was playing games, I often encountered so-called 'actors'? The ones who used cheats to snipe me? Basically, all popular and big-name streamers encountered this situation."

Walter nodded: "Is this also related to gambling?"

Xiao Peng nodded. "That's right. Those gambling websites will target the top streamers and set up odds, then use these 'actors' to manipulate the market. They decide whether the streamer will 'win' or 'lose' based on the odds. For example, if I play a game of 'Chicken Dinner,' there will be real-time betting on the gambling websites, such as 'Can I kill ten people in this game?' If most people bet on it, then they will directly send in the actors to use cheats to kill me, and then they win the money."

"It can be like this!" Walter exclaimed after hearing this.

Xiao Peng said, "There are so many tricks here! To make money, gambling companies will do anything you can't imagine. There's nothing they can't do! Anyone who gambles has plenty of money, and having plenty of money means they can do a lot of incredible things!"

Walter nodded.

Xiao Peng looked at the arena and asked, "How long will this dance last?"

Walter spread his hands and said, “I don’t know either. What I’m most afraid of now is that there will be other performances after this dance!”

He had just finished speaking when the dance above ended. Xiao Peng was about to sigh that it was finally over, but some sports students in karate uniforms came up and performed karate.

Xiao Peng covered his face with his hands: "Walter, you are such a bad mouth! What you say really comes true! He really has other plans!"

After saying that, he stood up.

Walter asked, “Boss, where are you going?”

"I can't bear to watch this any longer. I'm going to the restroom and the smoking room to have a cigarette! Please keep an eye on the guy behind me, lest he runs away with my money!"

"Don't worry, boss!"
