Even Li Wei, who was usually composed, had a glow in his eyes learning that the gambling winnings had been deposited into his account. After successfully defeating Xiao Ming, they earned a total of 240,000 Empire Dollars!
Li Wei received 168,000 Empire Dollars according to the 3/7 split. In addition, he would receive 70 percent of the endorsements. Li Wei had 203,000 Empire Dollars on him right then!
After seeing the bank balance, Li Wei's tears nearly spilled down. It was the first time since his transmigration that he had such a large sum of money!
After a few deep breaths, he finally calmed down. After all, Han Chong still had a million Empire Dollars waiting for him, yet he was getting all excited with this bit of money. It was too amateur!
…
It was already well into the night when they returned to their dorm. Both Li Wei and Zhang Feng had deliberately selected that hour and the plan were to return after it was lights out.
Otherwise, based on his performance in today's match, the entire school would probably corner him in the field, stairs, and other areas to brown-nose him. Li Wei disliked that sort of meaningless flattery.
Before returning to school, he went to the game hall with Zhang Feng for a few hours. However, he still miscalculated and could not escape this situation because the security guards were still on duty.
The fact that the two security officers on duty tonight were the same ones who had caught him near the gym was even more coincidental!
"Li Wei! Was it you that night? Can I have your signature?"
"Heavens! I didn't expect you to be so powerful! You've brought glory to our school!"
The two security guards were confident that the person who ran away that day was Li Wei. They did not care that it was already past lights out and even escorted him, singing praises for him along the way. They did not stop until he reached the dorm room, yet he was still unwilling to leave for a long time.
"There's no need to see me off, brothers. Just go and rest," Li Wei said with a bitter smile, "By the way, please don't tell anyone I've returned. It won't be good right now."
The two of them were not as fierce as the other night. They quickly nodded and bowed in agreement, clearly very humble.
It could not be helped. Just the strength that Li Wei had displayed today was something they would never be able to touch in their lives. Their future social status would be vastly separate tiers like the heavens and the earth.
Faced with Li Wei, who was on his way to becoming a big shot, the pair could not help but take every opportunity to gratify him. If he had a bright future, he might be willing to help them later, right?
Zhang Feng turned around and glanced at the two security guards who had been very responsible in their work for the past three years. He could not understand what these people had done wrong. They were all born human, but now they had to be humble and ingratiate themselves to a young man who had just turned eighteen.
However, this was how the world worked. With strength, you could obtain everything. You could even reap the dignity and worship of strangers at any time. However, Li Wei's kind expression changed as soon as he returned to the dorm room.
When he closed the door, he frowned. "F*ck!"
"What's wrong?" Zhang Feng did not know what had happened.
Li Wei sighed and said with a look of pity, "We might not be able to make much money tomorrow."
Hearing this, Zhang Feng was confused, so he prodded further. It turned out that Li Wei had already pinpointed a severe problem while he was thinking about the philosophical issues of social human rights.
The two security officers' demeanor indicated to Li Wei that the entire school was aware of the 12.35 test result he had left in the gym. They would definitely think that it was him.
It was a no-brainer. No one else in the school had more than 8 points of vitality, not to mention the enormous 12.38. If that were the case, the news would probably reach the ears of those paying attention to the game by tomorrow.
Especially Han Chong. The banker would probably investigate Li Wei once he realized he had been duped. With his family's influence on the surface world of Fei He City, the bankers would adjust the odds for his match to a very low level.
If so, he should not rely on betting to make a lot of money since he could not wager on himself to lose.
"Ah! It's fine!" Zhang Feng patted his belly and comforted him. "We've already earned quite a bit. No matter how low the odds are, we'll just earn a bit less!"
They had already made a lot of money by using the information gap. Next, they had to make steady bets and earn as much as possible.
That said, Li Wei recognized there was still a strong contender in this competition, and that person had a good shot of making the finals as well. Therefore, there was still hope of making money. He was truly looking forward to fighting the guy.
…
"Zzzzz…! Zzzzz…!"
After hearing Zhang Feng's rumbling snores, Li Wei, who had just returned from the bathroom, also covered himself with the quilt. He then entered the system farm.
Tonight, he was going to implement the plan of opening up two plots of farmland!
