Chapter 194 Peacock Spreads its Tail
I have to say that this waiter is worthy of being the waiter of the largest restaurant in Yong County. He is quite perceptive.
What the waiter said to Xia Xing'er and the other man was indeed from the heart. One was a playboy who frequented brothels, and the other was a filial son who worked hard to treat his mother's illness. It was obvious who had a better chance of winning!
But she didn't make her choice lightly.
Xia Xing'er's purpose of coming here was not to gamble, but of course she would be willing to do so if she could make some more money!
Even a tiny mosquito is still meat, right? And if it's delivered to your door, why not take it?
Chun Liu looked at Xia Xing'er, who was at a loss for words, and said anxiously, "Miss, aren't we going to place a bet?"
Xia Xing'er looked at her with amusement and whispered, "Wait a little longer!"
She looked down from the second-floor window. The entrance of Yueyang Restaurant was already surrounded by a crowd of people watching the excitement. Apart from the endless arena, the rest were just a sea of heads.
The owner of Yueyang Restaurant stood on the stage, gave a few opening remarks, and then loudly explained the basic information of the fourteen contestants.
Zhao Long and Zhang Hu are both burly and strong men. It can be said that the fourteen contestants are of similar build.
No, except for one person in the middle.
The man was wearing a ghost mask, so his appearance could not be seen clearly. He stood out among the burly men, like an unshakable pine tree.
Although his face under the mask could not be seen clearly, his demeanor gave people a sense of proudly facing the wind.
This man looked like a martial artist who had practiced martial arts for many years. Xia Xing'er suddenly felt that he would undoubtedly be the champion this year.
This is a keen intuition about people with great martial arts skills.
In the moment she was distracted, the manager had already finished introducing the situation of the fourteen people. He knew that everyone was waiting to watch the game, so he didn't waste any words.
He smiled enthusiastically and said, "The above is the complete information for all our contestants. Next, let them draw lots to determine their opponents and matches for today."
Immediately after the gongs and drums sounded, a servant walked onto the stage carrying a tray.
The tray was covered with a red cloth, and on it were fourteen bamboo sticks with words written on them, face down and back up.
The servant held a tray and walked up to the contestants one by one, asking them to take a bamboo stick from the tray.
After everyone got the bamboo sticks and showed them to the audience, the shopkeeper let them go backstage to wait.
As the gongs and drums sounded, the shopkeeper said in a long tone: "Our Yueyang Restaurant's annual martial arts competition begins now-"
"Then we would like to invite the two contestants who drew number one to come on stage!"
Following the manager's order, the people in the audience rushed forward and started placing bets on the two long tables nearby.
There is a long table on each side of the stage, one representing a contestant.
“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”
"Come and place your bets, come and place your bets!"
"Buy it and leave it, buy it and leave it!"
As VIPs of the private room, Xia Xing'er and Chun Liu did not need to place bets in person. If they wanted to place bets, they just had to ask the servants waiting outside to run errands!
The audience was in such a mess, just like a vegetable market!
One of the contestants on the stage was showing off the tendons on his arms like a peacock spreading its tail feathers. He also puffed out his chest to prove that he had eight-pack abs!
The other contestant just stood there straight, without any fancy display, so you couldn't see any tendon meat, let alone eight-pack abs.
It is obvious that the betting is one-sided!
"Miss, Miss, who should we bet on? Do you want to bet on the one with eight-pack abs?"
Chunliu was so excited that he wanted to go to the stage and place his bet right now.
Xia Xing'er gently tapped Chunliu's forehead and said lovingly, "I might disappoint you. I'm going to bet on the one without abdominal muscles!"
Chunliu looked at Xia Xing'er in disbelief and wanted to try again.
"Miss, are you sure we want to bet on that weakling?"
"How about we make a bet? You bet on the one with eight-pack abs, and I bet on the one you said was weak?"
Chunliu thought for a moment and shook her head. The lessons she had learned since childhood told her that what the young lady said must be right.
If you don't listen to the young lady, you will definitely suffer!
Looking at her expression, Xia Xing'er knew that she would definitely not bet with her, but would definitely follow her in betting.
But he kindly explained to her: "Chunliu, do you think I didn't fight much when I was young?"
Chunliu thought about it and realized that their young lady had been fighting every day since she came to Meishan.
How could the young lady ask such a question? "Young lady, don't you know your own situation? You are the one who beat the whole Meishan, so how can you avoid fighting?"
Xia Xing'er glared at Chun Liu and said, "That's all right. I've been fighting since I was little. From my experience, I know that the more boastful someone is, the more miserably they lose. On the other hand, the one who keeps quiet is the tougher one, and the bigger the chances of winning."
Chun Liu nodded in understanding, and followed Xia Xing'er to bet on the highest odds, three to one!
Looking at the table opposite piled with silver, the gold ingot and the silver ingot on this table are so eye-catching!
Everyone else bet on two to one, but they were the only ones betting on three to one.
"Someone over there actually bet gold?"
"Oh my god, is it that big? The key is that it's three times to one bet. Why do I suddenly feel like the chances of winning are greater there?"
"What are you looking at? Don't forget that the one we bet on was the champion before, and that one just popped out of nowhere. Can he really win the championship? If he really can win the championship, I will let my wife sleep with you."
"Wang Mazi, you've made things even worse. You even gave up your wife?"
"I, Li Lao Er, have even put my life on the line today. We must win! We will definitely win. I, Li Lao Er, can't be wrong. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. The other side will definitely be beaten into pieces!"
Those who originally wanted to place a bet with Xia Xing'er and the others immediately gave up the idea.
It doesn't mean that the more you bet, the more you win. It definitely depends on your strength. Whoever is stronger will definitely win.
They are really crazy. It seems that the two opponents have lost!
The gongs and drums sounded three times, signaling the start of the competition.
The man performing the peacock spread-out costume performance swung his fist directly at the man who was as steady as a rock.
The man threw a punch, bringing with it a fierce sound of wind, as if to tear the air apart.
However, the man who was as steady as a rock simply turned his body slightly and easily avoided the attack.
His movements seemed slow, but in fact they were just right, as if he could predict every move of his opponent.
After dodging the attack, he suddenly stepped forward, causing the ground to shake slightly. Then he rushed towards the opponent at an incredible speed and punched the man in the abdomen.
