As Wang Yixiang sat anxiously at his desk, waiting for a response, the Wu Li family on the other side finally recovered from their shock.
They put down their chopsticks and Wu Mei ran over from the other side of the table to join Hu Xiaoxia in surrounding Wu Li, who was holding his phone.
"Old Wu, when they say tens or hundreds of thousands, are they talking about the Da Xia Fu currency?" asked Hu Xiaoxia, still unsure.
"Could it be game currency or something?" she continued.
"No way it's game currency. The tone of the message clearly indicates Da Xia Fu currency," replied Wu Li's son.
"Dad, what are you going to do? Sell it to these people?" asked his daughter.
"Yes, Old Wu, what are you going to do?" echoed Hu Xiaoxia.
"I...I haven't thought about it yet," replied Wu Li truthfully. He really didn't know what to do.
"Dad, Dad, look! The person who bid 10 million just messaged me saying they'll pay 2 billion to buy it out!" exclaimed Wu Mei, covering her mouth in shock as she showed Wu Li the message from the user "Dingsheng Lao Wang" on the Qianzhong platform.
"Two billion, buy it out..." murmured Wu Li as he opened the private chat box. Wang Yixiang's follow-up message had also arrived.
"I can't say too much, but you can probably guess what I do," it read.
"I can only tell you that, based on reliable information I have received, many bookmakers are preparing to shut down this round of betting."
"I think you can understand that if the betting is shut down, your 'All Prophecy Gift Pack' will be heavily discounted."
"The bookmakers can only offer a win or lose, what kind of odds do they have? Betting small to win big is meaningful, betting big to win small is not only risky but also foolish!"
After reading Wang Yixiang's message, which was a textbook example of negotiation tactics that mixed truth and lies, Wu Li had yet to respond, but this did not stop Wang Yixiang from making his move.
...
"Old Wu..."
"Dad, what does this person who messaged you do?"
After the three of them finished reading Wang Yixiang's private message, Hu Xiaoxia looked at Wu Li with a hopeful yet complicated expression, while Wu Mei was curious and eager to know.
"If I'm not mistaken, the other party should be the head of Ding Sheng, the largest underground bookmaker in Da Xia Fu," replied Wu Li, because he had bought his first prophecies from them.
The three of them had been greedy for high odds and had gone to a small bookmaker, but the result...
Wu Li shook his head and pushed the memory aside.
"Dad, I know!" exclaimed Wu Mei.
"If the Prophet changes the way they reveal their prophecies, it's to avoid affecting the normal operation of legitimate bookmakers."
"Then selecting a lucky fan to reward with the full prophecy result must also have a deeper meaning!"
Upon hearing her daughter's words, Wu Li began to think about the deeper meaning behind this move.
Soon, a flash of inspiration lit up his mind, and he looked at Wu Mei with wide eyes.
"Underground bookmakers are different from legitimate ones. They have all sorts of ways to play the game. Although the Prophet's method of revealing prophecies has already minimized the impact on legitimate bookmakers, it still has an impact on underground ones."
"Moreover, now that all Prophet's accounts on the East Sea communication network have been blocked, any talk of cooperation with them to crack down on gambling is simply unfounded."
"So this time, the Prophet changed the way they reveal their prophecies to avoid affecting the normal operation of all bookmakers."
"He wants to use 'me' to inform all major bookmakers!"
"Or, he only needs 'me' to spread the message to a small group of people, and all major bookmakers will immediately know."
"Alternatively, if someone spends a lot of money to buy a scorebook, the corresponding bookmaker can also guess it right away."
"If it's not a big deal, like a few hundred thousand, it won't affect the normal operation of the bookmaker, and the buyer's earnings won't be higher than their asking price, so 'I' will definitely choose to sell!"
"From this perspective, no matter what choice I make, it will have no effect on the outcome!"
With these words, Wu Li took a deep breath and was amazed at the Prophet's flawless strategy.
"This is the ultimate grasp of human paradoxes!" he thought, his eyes solemn. At this moment, he realized that he was just a pawn in the Prophet's hands.
But he was willing to be that pawn!
He would think about the Prophet's thoughts and make the best choice for him.
"Wang Yixiang here.
Just when he thought "Teacher Wu" wouldn't respond, he saw a reply message in the chat box.
"Do you know the responsible persons of all the bookmakers?"
Wang Yixiang frowned, unable to figure out why the other party was responding to this question, but still replied as quickly as possible.
"I only know the responsible persons of the other four major bookmakers, I don't know the ones for the smaller ones."
"What's wrong?" Wang Yixiang asked back.
"You might help me arrange meetings with more bookmaker responsible persons, I won't sell exclusivity."
Wang Yixiang muttered to himself, "What a big appetite", but still replied promptly.
"Okay, then add me on 'Quick Chat', and after I contact them, I'll create a 'Quick Chat' group."
Then Wang Yixiang sent the phone number associated with his 'Quick Chat'.
After becoming 'Quick Chat' friends with Wu Li, and obtaining his phone number, they began contacting the responsible persons of the major bookmakers in the eastern part of Daxiafu.
And after receiving the news, the responsible persons were very enthusiastic.
Soon, Wang Yixiang formed a chat group with only six people.
"Why are there only a few people?" Wu Li was a little dissatisfied.
"The smaller bookmakers were basically wiped out last time, and the remaining ones don't dare to open in the short term," Wang Yixiang explained.
Only then did Wu Lifen understand and continued to trade.
...
Then the group negotiated the price amicably.
In the end, the five major bookmakers jointly paid two hundred million for the buyout.
As for the authenticity of the result, Wang Yixiang and the others were not worried, because they already knew Wu Li's phone number and bank card number, and finding him was easy as pie.
Both parties were happy after the transaction was completed.
...
There was no need to say how happy Wang Yixiang and the others were.
As for Wu Li's side, after the transaction was completed.
Hu Xiaoxia and Wu Mei kept counting the balance on Wu Li's bank card!
They were overjoyed.
Although Wu Li wasn't too interested in money, it was still two hundred million, so he was excited and happy inside!
But more importantly, he felt happy because of the joy of the mother and daughter!
So he felt even more grateful to Jiang Feng, and at the same time, he firmly believed.
"From now on, you, the 'prophet', will be the true god I worship in my life!"
