Gate of God - Chapter 94

Bab 94: Agak Murah Hati

Penerjemah: Editor Terjemahan Sparrow: Terjemahan Sparrow

Ketika para sarjana berharap nama mereka muncul di gulungan batu, mereka juga menebak tiga teratas dalam ujian teori kali ini.

Sebagai seseorang yang baru saja dipindahkan ke Sungai Trust Capital, Su Jiu secara alami tidak akan menyerah pada kesempatan bagus untuk menghasilkan uang. Karena itu, pagi-pagi sekali, dia membawa beberapa pelayan laki-laki lain untuk meletakkan meja tidak jauh dari kantor ibukota.

“Tebak juara roll, atau tiga teratas, bayarannya tinggi!” Su Jiu memanggil dengan energi besar.

Sekelompok cendekiawan di sisi lain mengelilingi meja, dan tanpa henti mengeluarkan uang mereka.

Fang Zhengzhi adalah orang yang tepat waktu, tetapi dia bukan seseorang yang suka menunggu tanpa berpikir di depan batu gulungan. Oleh karena itu, baru sekarang dia berjalan berdampingan dengan Yan Xiu.

Saat melewati meja taruhan, dia juga mendengar teriakan Su Jiu.

Berpikir bahwa Su Jiu adalah seorang kenalan, dia percaya bahwa dia harus tetap pergi dan menyambutnya. Selain itu, dia juga ingin melihat apakah ada orang yang cukup bijak untuk bertaruh padanya untuk mendapatkan Roll Champion.

“Biarkan aku melihatnya!” Fang Zhengzhi memandang Yan Xiu.

“Baik.” Yan Xiu mengangguk, berbalik dan mengikuti Fang Zhengzhi menuju meja taruhan.

Fang Zhengzhi tidak berharap Yan Xiu memiliki minat seperti itu, dan agak terkejut. Tapi, dia cepat mengerti. Dia mendengar bahwa orang kaya selalu punya kebiasaan berjudi.

Yan Xiu kaya.

Tetapi, bahkan jika dia tidak terobsesi, dia pasti tidak akan terlalu konservatif dalam bidang seperti itu.

Penampilan Yan Xiu secara alami menyebabkan para sarjana di sekitarnya berpisah dengan sangat sadar. Fang Zhengzhi puas dengan hasil seperti itu, perasaan itu seperti menembakkan pistol air bertekanan tinggi.

Ketika Su Jiu memanggil untuk mengumpulkan uang, dia menyadari bahwa para sarjana di depan meja telah bubar, dan berpikir apakah pemerintah datang untuk menyerang?

Mengangkat kepalanya, dia menyadari itu adalah Fang Zhengzhi dan Yan Xiu.

“Ah, ini Tuan Muda Fang, ha ha …” Su Jiu langsung mulai tertawa, tetapi dengan cepat meletakkan tangannya di suatu area di atas meja taruhan.

Fang Zhengzhi juga tersenyum.

Because, he had already seen clearly the words on the table in front of Su Jiu. And where Su Jiu covered with his hands, was exactly where his name was.

Other than that, more than ten names were densely written on the table.

Below, pay-outs of all kinds were listed below them.

Among them, Zhang Hetong’s Roll Champion payout was the lowest, yet the amount of people who betted that was the most. Next was Hua Kangan, the pay-out was more or less similar to Zhang Hetong. After them, were a few other random people.

Tang Yulong, and even Cai Yongfeng’s name were all listed under Roll Champion.

“Can I bet on myself?” Fang Zhengzhi smiled

“Ha ha… Young Master Fang, can you come with me?” Su Jiu reached out his other hand, and signalled to Fang Zhengzhi.

Fang Zhengzhi nodded, turned out and walked in the direction Su Jiu was pointing to.

Not too long later, the three people arrived under a tree.

“Young Master Fang, my master had said that as long as you bet on yourself in attaining Roll Champion, no matter how much you buy, we will pay double on the spot!” Su Jiu smiled happily.

“I only wish to know, why is Second-Class Roll below my name? And, the pay-out is so low?” Fang Zhengzhi didn’t directly reply Su Jiu’s question.

“Seems like Young Master Fang had seen it, ha ha… this is to earn money, I hope Young Master Fang won’t blame me! After all, we have to adapt to the cries of the crowd.” Su Jiu smiled apologetically.

“Ah, nobody bet that I would enter the First-Class Roll?” Fang Zhengzhi didn’t press Su Jiu further.

“Nobody!” Fang Zhengzhi said confidently, then, seemed to have thought of something. “But, there is one person who bet that Young Master Fang would be Roll Champion! I initially thought that you sent someone to bet, but now it seems like… it isn’t!”

“Someone betted that I would be Roll Champion?” Fang Zhengzhi gazed suspiciously at Yan Xiu, who was standing beside him with a cold expression.

Yan Xiu shook his head lightly.

If it isn’t Yan Xiu, who could it be? Fang Zhengzhi was somewhat confused, who else would be so wise in the River of Trust Capital? Actually betting that he would become Roll Champion?

“Say, should I still bet on myself?” The edges of Fang Zhengzhi’s mouth curved into a smile.

“My master said, however much you bet, we will pay the same amount on the spot!” Su Jiu quickly laughed again.

“She is indeed quite generous. Never mind, help me check, who is the one who betted that I would become Roll Champion!” Fang Zhengzhi turned around and left. Anyway, he had never prepared to bet today, and he felt that earning money with such a method was akin to asking money from girls.

“Alright!” Su Jiu instantly nodded.

After Fang Zhengzhi walked out a few steps, Su Jiu began to mumble again. “Master is indeed supremely clever; Young Master Fang really didn’t bet!”

“Wait a minute, I bet a hundred taels!” When Su Jiu’s words just left his mouth, Fang Zhengzhi turned back again.

Su Jiu’s face instantly turned bitter.

“Young Master Fang, you really bet?”

…

With two hundred silver taels on his hand, Fang Zhengzhi leisurely walked towards the roll stone, shoulder to shoulder with Yan Xiu.

Then, very naturally, a path was formed for them.

But, compared to the previous moment, there were much more sounds of chattering.

“Quick, look, Fang Zhengzhi is here. I had betted that Fang Zhengzhi will enter the Second-Class Roll!”

“Brother Wang is indeed wise! I also betted that he would enter the Second-Class Roll!”

“I betted Fang Zhengzhi will miss the roll…”

“Miss the roll? Is your head squashed by a door? No matter how many people there are in this capital examination, and no matter how intense the competition is, Fang Zhengzhi’s theory examination would never miss the roll! He would definitely be on the Second-Class Roll!”

“Exactly, betting that Fang Zhengzhi would miss the roll? You are indeed stupid enough!”

The scholar within the crowd who betted that Fang Zhengzhi would miss the roll was instantly condemned and denounced by the crowd, and pulled out a dozen strands of hair gloomily.

And at this moment, a few result officials wearing black official robes also walked out from within the capital office.

“Give way!” The leading result official gazed at the impenetrable crowd of people, and frowned. This time’s capital examination had exactly five times the amount of people compared to before. They were indeed extremely tired.

Very quickly, the crowd gave way.

The result official directly walked in front of the roll stone, and in the same order as before, announced the Second-Class Roll first.

The leading result official fished out a black seal stone from his pocket and pressed it onto the roll stone. Instantly, with a flash of light rays, a list of densely packed names began to appear on the roll stone.

Even though the number of people participating in the capital examination was five times more than before, but, the number of people making it onto the roll was still fixed.

All the scholars at this moment craned their necks and widened their eyes, carefully inspecting the roll stone for their names. Not too long later, the cries of scholars began to sound out.

“Ha ha ha, I made it, I made it…”

“I also made it, I also made it!”

A few of the people who made it onto the roll began to exclaim happily. After all, this capital theory examination was too hard. To be able to make it onto the Second-Class Roll was already extremely lucky.

And when they further thought about the special prize in this time’s capital examination, they became even happier.

“Tsk, it’s just a Second-Class Roll, what is there to be happy about?” Of course, there were also some smug and self-righteous people who mocked those who made it onto the Second-Class Roll.

“I won?! I won! Ha ha… I won!” Right at this moment, an untimely voice rang out from within the crowd.
