I Am A Prodigy

“So? Which one has a higher chance of winning?” Huang Xiaomeng and others were already eager to discuss.

Of course, they did it behind Ye Lingchen’s back.

“Hahaha, this is a money-making game!”

As the others were still stressing over it, Leopard smiled and said with confidence.

“Huh? You can see it?” Everyone looked over curiously.

“You don’t necessarily have to see it!” Leopard smiled casually and pointed to his head. His mannerisms implied that he was the sole sober one amongst the drunken lot. After satisfying his need for pretentiousness, he began to speak up, “It’s also about the brains!”

“Stop all that motherf*cking bullsh*t! Spit it out already, we’re going to place our bets!” someone urged.

“Little White will win this match!” Leopard announced the answer immediately[1].

“Why?”

“Do you remember the last dog fight and the one before that?” Leopard questioned back instead of answering.

“How do you expect us to remember that? There are plenty of dog fights all the time. How can we remember all of that?”

“Hahaha, sorry, I just remembered a part of it, and that part happened to be related to Little White and Little Black!” Leopard felt as though he had reached his life’s pinnacle at that time and was showing off. ” Little White and Big White fought once in the last fight and Little White lost! In the fight before that, Little Black and Big White fought once, Little Black won! Who do you think will win this time? ”

“It gotta be Little Black!”

“Not bad. Your logic is correct.” Leopard posed in a promising manner.

“F*ck then! What are we waiting for? Come on!” Everyone’s face was red with excitement. Each person rolled up their sleeves one by one and geared up for a big fight.

“How much are you going to bet?”

“We don’t always have a money-making match like this. What is there to think about? Four-hundred thousand! All in!”

“You had the same thought as me. Thirty-five hundred thousand, all in!”

“In that case, all in!” Huang Xiaomeng gritted her teeth. She went all-in with five-hundred thousand she had on her. “Leopard, if you dare to cheat me on this, you’ll die!”

Although they were all rich kids, they only managed to save up that much pocket money.

“Chill. This is a sure win!” Leopard thumped his chest loudly.

At the same time, everyone watched as Little White and Little Black barked at each other within the cage. They looked fierce and ready to go.

Sitting in silence, Ye Lingchen played the role of the two canines’ faithful listeners.

Little White: F*ck dawg, how did I end up with you, Brother Black? Spare me, dawg. Please spare me. Go easy on me!

Little Black: I’m the one who should be begging you! Motherf*cker, some b*stard gave me a shot of God-knows-what before I came on. Now my entire body is numb and I’ve got no energy.

Little White: Oh f*ck! Is this for real? You ain’t trying to frame me?

Little Black: Why should I lie to you?

Little White: Muahahaha, God Almighty is good. I can finally get my revenge. Little Blackie, just you wait for me to torture you!

…

After Huang Xiaomeng made her bet, she rolled her eyes and walked over to Ye Lingchen. “How about it, did you think about which one you’ll bet on to win?”

Ye Lingchen shook his head and asked deliberately. “Maybe…you can give me a suggestion?”

He could see through everything clearly and knew Huang Xiaomeng’s psyche like the back of his hand.

“Bet on Little White to win!” Huang Xiaomeng looked at Ye Lingchen and asserted solemnly. She then sported a mysterious look and said, “I have inside information, Little White is very strong and has never lost before. Trust me!”

“Oh? Is that so?” Ye Lingchen found it rather amusing but pretended to be clueless on the surface. “Okay, then I’ll bet on Little White to win.”

“Hey, bro, how much money are you gonna bet? Don’t just bet a-hundred-and-eighty yuan. That’s embarrassing! The minimum here is five thousand!”

“Yeah, buddy, you came with Xiaomeng, so you gotta maintain the status quo. None of our bets are below a hundred thousand.”

“I think so too. Men should have more balls. Look at me, I’m a woman, but I’m going all in.”

Huang Xiaomeng’s group immediately began making comments.

It was an obvious attempt to goad him.

“Okay then, I’ll bet six-hundred thousand.” Ye Lingchen said with a smile. The words ‘HONEST BOY’ was practically written all over his face.

A scheming smile first flashed over Huang Xiaomeng’s face, followed by an expression of shock. She pointed to Ye Lingchen and was almost lost for words. “You… You’re betting six-hundred thousand?!”

The rest were shocked.

Even people like them could only take out about RMB200,000 to RMB300,000 at once, but that poor c*ck could fork out RMB600,000?!

Who were the rich kids there?!

“Why do you have so much money?” Li Muxue was also stunned.

It was not RMB600,000 in assets, but RMB600,000 in direct cash!

“I earned all of it myself,” Ye Lingchen said calmly.

“I didn’t expect you to make so much money with that business. It’s good to have capital. It’s really easy and profitable!” Huang Xiaomeng could not help muttering.

“Ye Lingchen, wait up before betting.”

Li Muxue interjected and quickly pulled Huang Xiaomeng to the side, “Xiaomeng, didn’t you bet on Little Black? How could you let Ye Lingchen bet on Little White?”

“Sister Muxue, he peeped at us! My name isn’t Huang Xiaomeng if I don’t give him some trouble!” Huang Xiaomeng asserted.

“But…this is too cruel. This is six-hundred thousand!”

“So, what? Don’t forget he’s just a gigolo. His money was rewarded to him by other rich women. If it’s gone, it’s gone.”

“It isn’t easy for him to work in that kind of job. I heard that some rich women are quirky. Aren’t we going too far with this?”

“Sister Muxue, why are you so worried about him. Don’t tell me you…you have feelings for him?” Huang Xiaomeng could not help but feel suspicious.

“No, I just think this is too much.” Li Muxue quickly shook his head and denied.

By the time the two returned, Ye Lingchen had already finished making his bet.

Everyone smiled when they saw Ye Lingchen grinning.

‘This dumbf*ck doesn’t know he’s been conned. He might still think he has a chance of winning. Wait till he loses his underwear later.’

‘Such a pity, such a pity!’

“Betting time is over, coming up…the match begins!”

With the host’s orders, the cages containing Little White and Little Black rose slowly. The audience went silent. Everyone watched nervously and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

“Woof, woof, woof!”

After a few barks, the two dogs charged forward and bit each other!

“Come on! F*ck him up!”

“Oh oh oh, awesome, that’s the sh*t!”

“Don’t make me lose, bite him, bite him!”

“I placed all my money on you, one step at a time, come on, get him!”

After the silence came a racket. Everyone was shouting in excitement.

As the fight progressed, the smiles on Huang Xiaomeng and the others’ faces gradually disappeared. Their confidence turned to worry.

“F*CK! What’s going on? Why is Little Black suddenly weak?!” Leopard was stunned. Cold sweat began to appear on his forehead and he exclaimed in disbelief.

Little Black’s performance was still rather fine at the beginning. The two dogs sparred with each other, but gradually, his movements became duller and his strength was much weaker. He did not cause much damage when biting down on Little White.

“Little Black, don’t fall! Hang in there for me! If you lose, I’ll be eating soil for the entire month!” Snake wailed.

“Oh f*ck, it’s over, it’s all over. If I lose, I can’t explain it to my mother.”

“He’s just pretending to be weak in front of his opponent, that’s what Little Black is doing! He’ll fight back…”

The expressions on Huang Xiaomeng and co’s face became heavier and heavier. All they felt was dryness in their mouth and throat. They had a feeling that things were going south.

Was that the so-called motherf*cking money-making match? More like a con!

[1] This might be a possible error, as the next few paragraphs (as well as the rest of the chapter) will show that Leopard’s suggestion was to bet on Little Black for the surefire win.
