The strangeness has come, I am a god with trillions of ghost money

Chapter 446 Equal Betting, You're betting a hundred billion right off the bat?!
Xiao Junze only noticed that his clothes had changed after seeing the message from Song Mang.

He was wearing a high school uniform, but the color was a bit odd, making him look like a food delivery worker.

He took a picture of the school uniform and sent it to Song Mang: "[It's yellow, what's wrong? This school uniform is so ugly, even uglier than my old high school uniform.]"

Do you know anyone who embodies the six-pointed star?

Xiao Junze: [Yes.]

What color is the school uniform?

Xiao Junze: [They're all yellow.]

Besides yellow, what other colors are used for school uniforms?

Xiao Junze: [There are also red, blue, and green ones.]

The four cards are red, yellow, blue, and green.

Song Mang: [Those who entered at the same time should belong to the same faction. My bet might be related to your progress in clearing the game.]

Song Mang: [How many people are taking the exam?]

Xiao Junze: [I don't know. There are a hundred people in my classroom, and there seem to be other classrooms outside. But there's a thick black fog in the corridor, so I can't see the route clearly and can't go out to count the classrooms.]

Song Mang: [Then don't go out. Do the test first; if you really can't do it, leave it blank. Be careful when the papers are collected and the results are released.]

Xiao Junze: [Okay!]

Not long after Song Mang sent a message to Xiao Junze, Qin Yang's voice came through, "I'll choose blue, now it's your turn to choose a color."

"I choose yellow."

Song Mang chose the color of Xiao Junze's school uniform.

The moment she finished choosing the color, a large screen appeared behind the female underworld official, displaying several split-screen shots like a surveillance camera.

These scenes all look like they're taken in a school, with students dressed in four different colors taking exams in the classroom. However, the students are of all ages and are clearly not actual college entrance exam takers.

Song Mang also spotted Xiao Junze in the camera's view. This guy was taking pictures of the questions on the exam paper with his phone, intending to search for the answers online.

However, this method is not very useful, as the answers to the questions on the exam paper cannot all be found online.

Some questions may appear to be from the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE), but they are actually made up and have no correct answers.

After all, this is not the real college entrance examination.

Some of the players in the exam hall also brought paper phones, all thinking of searching for answers online. The strange NPC proctoring the exam didn't care about the players cheating.

Just after watching the surveillance footage, the female underworld official used her ghostly power to present each of them with a piece of white paper.

The female underworld official twirled a calligraphy brush in her hand and said with amusement, "My two distinguished guests, your bet is quite simple. The colors you choose represent the schools and students whose uniform colors correspond to those colors."

A total of 4,000 students participated in this year's college entrance examination, with 1,000 students from each school. Those who scored above 600 points on the exam will not be subjected to any strange attacks.

Players whose college entrance exam scores are below 600...

At this point, the female underworld official paused, and the smile on her face vanished instantly.

"Execute him immediately!"

A chilling aura emanated from around the gambling table.

"If you can't even get 600 points on the college entrance exam, it means you have very poor abilities and your IQ isn't very high either. People like that will have an even harder time surviving in the apocalypse, and there's no point in living."

Their lives are already over; let's send them on their way sooner rather than later.

The female underworld official's face revealed that eerie smile again. "Don't you agree? Now, please, both of you distinguished guests, predict the number of students who will survive in the school you've chosen. Out of a thousand students, how many will survive? Please write your survival count on a piece of paper. The guest whose number is closest to the final survival count will be the winner of this bet."

Song Mang stared at the constantly changing images on the monitor and noticed that the people she brought in were all wearing yellow school uniforms. In other words, out of the thousand people in yellow school uniforms, more than a hundred were members of the Hexagram.

Before entering the instance, she gave them a lot of life-saving items. With more than a hundred people protecting the remaining eight hundred or so, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Just as she was about to write the numbers on the slip of paper, the female underworld official said, "Ah, I almost forgot the most important thing, the two distinguished guests haven't placed their bets yet."

"What bet?"

Song Mang and Qin Yang asked at the same time.

"These are your betting funds. The 100,000 ghost money you pay before entering is an admission ticket and cannot be used as betting funds."

The female underworld official smiled and said, "You can use anything as stake: ghost money, jokers, weapons, luck, lifespan, and even personal freedom."

However, there is one condition: the bets placed by both parties must be equal. If one person bets 100,000 ghost money and the other bets 10,000, the other person must also bet 100,000.

If you can't produce an equal amount of ghost money, then use other items of equal value as bets.

Qin Yang suddenly asked, "What if it's a tie? That means both sides guessed the same difference. Although the probability of that is very small, it's not impossible, is it?"

"If it's a tie, the bookmaker wins, and your bets will be mine."

"..."

Qin Yang thought for a moment, then looked at Song Mang and said, "It seems that it's better to avoid low-probability events, otherwise we'll both suffer heavy losses, and the bookies will benefit."

"There are betting options here, so we can keep betting as long as we want. We won't miss one more round. Let's bet a small amount first, test the waters, and see if there are any traps or unfair practices involved, okay?"

"sure."

For the first bet, Song Mang didn't want to place a big bet and planned to observe the situation first.

The guys who ran casinos before the apocalypse were all very shrewd; casinos were often known for the bookmakers' trickery.

In this bizarre world, anything can be gambled on, and the house gets even more, so it's impossible for them not to cheat.

Seeing that she agreed, Qin Yang took out a piece of ghost money and slammed it on the table. "Let's test the waters with a small bet. For this first round, I'll bet a thousand pieces of ghost money!"

As he spoke, Song Mang also sent up a picture, saying, "Yes, let's test the waters first. I'll bet 100 billion ghost money."

"...?"

Take less?

Didn't you say to bet a small amount first, to test the waters? What do you mean by betting a hundred billion right away?
Qin Yang couldn't hold back any longer and stood up abruptly. "Song Mang, what do you mean? Are you deliberately messing with me? Didn't we agree to bet less first?!"

Song Mang looked at him in surprise, "Is 100 billion a lot? I give my employees bonuses in 10 billion increments. I'm just here to have fun, betting 100 billion is already a small amount, isn't it?"

"...?"

"If you hadn't suggested betting less, I would have bet a trillion directly. Why are you so agitated? Could it be that you can't come up with a hundred billion?"

"...?"

Who the hell can just gamble away a hundred billion?
Qin Yang was speechless!

He'd conquered so many high-level dungeons in the apocalypse, and the total reward for completing them all didn't even amount to a hundred million. Where was he going to get a hundred billion to gamble with?!
Seeing that he remained silent, the female underworld official said, "Esteemed guest, if you do not have 100 billion underworld coins, you will need to use something worth 100 billion as betting money."

"I think this sword of the First Emperor of Qin is quite impressive. It even carries the aura of Qin Shi Huang. It's worth more than a hundred billion."
