"Good baby" is the nickname Su Xiaoqiang asked Gu Ran to call her, but she still blushes when he actually calls her that.
"...I love you too, you big bad guy!"
……
Late at night, Qi Lan was already asleep, while Gu Ran propped his head up and stared at the Night Watchers discussion forum inside Kassel College.
After a while, Fingel's betting odds post finally arrived.
"Late-night market opening, let's bet on whether Lu Mingfei can pass tomorrow's 3E exam!"
I've been waiting for you for so long, senior!
Gu Ran wasn't short of money, but he was still happy to have some fun with Fingel.
Besides, it's a sure win, money that's practically free. It would be a disservice to the people of Jiangdong if we didn't take it!
Gu Ran smiled and clicked on the post. As soon as he entered, he found that the number of people betting on Lu Mingfei failing the exam had exceeded ten thousand US dollars.
There are already many posts in the discussion forum, all saying how badly Lu Mingfei did in his exams, always ranking last.
His past information was dug up piece by piece and posted in the thread.
It was probably Fingel who did it.
Gu Ran thought for a moment and left a comment under the post: "I heard that Lu Mingfei is Principal Angers' illegitimate son. He got in through connections."
He wants to be an online troll and set the tone.
Get more people involved.
"Before coming to school, Lu Mingfei confessed his feelings to a girl, but failed. So now he desperately needs the nourishment of love! People with girlfriends should be careful."
"Also, I heard that he thinks Nono has a great figure and is very beautiful."
“He thought Susie was also good; she was the type to be a virtuous wife and loving mother.”
As soon as Gu Ran posted these posts, the number of people betting on Lu Mingfei that couldn't be approved increased again.
It quickly exceeded 20,000 US dollars.
Because Lu Mingfei has the privilege of pursuing a girl for three months without being able to refuse or break up with her, people with girlfriends are afraid that he will make a move on their girlfriends.
Those without girlfriends are envious of his privilege.
Meanwhile, members of the Lionheart Society and the student council, seeing that Lu Mingfei dared to have designs on the women of the two club leaders, immediately joined in as well.
Many people desperately hope that Lu Mingfei will fail the exam and be expelled from school!
However, Lu Mingfei also has a minority of supporters.
At this time, Chu Zihang posted a message, betting five hundred US dollars that Lu Mingfei would not win.
Caesar, on the other hand, bet five thousand dollars, betting that the game wouldn't go well; he never traveled with Chu Zihang.
……
In the activity room of Dormitory Area 1, Fingel, holding his laptop, couldn't help but smile as he watched more and more people placing bets.
He was overjoyed.
"Although I don't know who posted that stirred up trouble, he successfully encouraged more people to place bets, so we really have to thank him!" Fingel said with a smile.
He previously used information asymmetry to create momentum, leading unsuspecting classmates to believe that Lu Mingfei was a good-for-nothing.
Of course, in reality, based on Fingel's observation, his junior roommate was indeed a bit of a waste...
However, Fingel had already sold the 3E exam paper and answers for tomorrow to Lu Mingfei.
He's memorizing answers in his dorm right now!
Therefore, Lu Mingfei, the cheater, is guaranteed to pass the 3E exam!
"Three minutes left. The betting closes in three minutes. Place your bets now. Anyone else want to place a bet?" Fingel posted the message in the betting thread announcing the impending close of betting.
He looked at the computer screen. The only ones who could bet on Lu Mingfei were himself and Chu Zihang, and together they only had six hundred US dollars.
The amount that couldn't be bet was already over $60,000!
In addition, an unknown person was spreading rumors and messages to help Fingel.
Therefore, the amount of money betting on Lu Mingfei that cannot pass is still steadily increasing.
Inside the activity room, there were a dozen or so people surrounding Fingel.
These are all Fingel's creditors. Fingel is borrowing money from them, preparing to gamble big!
In this betting game, the winner will share the loser's entire stake proportionally.
If he wins, he can pay off the debts of these dozen or so people all at once.
One of the creditors looked like a mathematician, and he considered problems rationally.
He asked, puzzled, "I don't understand. These people who bet on the road are clearly not going to win. Even if they win, they can only get the six hundred dollars. Why bother?"
A psychology student explained, "Because Lu Mingfei now possesses a powerful weapon—the power to pursue girls without being rejected—these people all hope he suffers."
"Alright, enough talk, lend me the money!" Fingel spread his palms out, asking his creditors for money.
But the creditors remained unmoved.
Because Fingel had already lent them a lot of money.
Fingel snorted coldly: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as I win, I can pay off your debts. It's a sure-fire deal! If you don't lend me the money, the money I owe you... well, you can wait a little longer. Anyway, I've already waited three or four years, so there's no rush."
After hearing Fingel's words, the faces of these people darkened.
Fingel is so useless, he's already at F-rank, and he'll probably stay at F-rank for a while.
But they will graduate normally in another year or two.
Once they leave, won't we never get the money we lent out back?
With this in mind, these creditors had no choice but to lend money to Finger to avoid their previous loans becoming sunk costs.
In this way, Fingel quickly borrowed another $12500 from his creditors.
One minute before the betting closed, everyone stared at the screen and discovered that the number of people betting on Lu Mingfei's failure to pass had exceeded $9!
“We placed our bets in the last few seconds before the market closed, catching everyone else off guard!” Fingel said.
Another person holding a laptop said, "That person with the ID 'Ranran' is still posting and stirring up trouble."
Chapter 97 The Dream of Mount Myōboku
Fingel looked at the person who had helped him set the pace and laughed, "This guy is really great. I have to treat him to a meal after this is all over!"
"It's already surpassed $10!"
"In the last thirty seconds, the number of people investing was still increasing!"
"Countdown to closing: 10, 9, 8, 7..."
"Three seconds left, inject capital now!"
"It's a success! Our investment was successful!"
"System officially shut down!"
After the sale was closed, more than a dozen creditors cheered together in the activity room of the dormitory in Zone 1.
The money I lent to Fen Gou can finally be recovered!
At the last minute, the amount bet on Lu Mingfei failing the exam was $15!
Upon seeing this amount, the tall, burly Fingel with his ramen-noodle-shaped hair was so excited that he danced on the spot!
Fingel thought to himself that with his final investment of $12500, he could at least get 80% of the $150,000!
Not only can it pay off its debts, but it can also make a small profit.
In addition, he previously sold Lu Mingfei a test paper for $2500... He's completely won!
But just as he was filled with joy, the activity room suddenly fell silent.
Fingel snapped out of his daze, realized something was off, and looked at them, asking, "What's wrong?"
"See for yourself," someone said, pointing to the computer screen.
Fingel glanced at it from a distance, then, as if seeing something incredible, immediately moved closer, picked up the laptop, and pressed his face against the screen as if he wanted to eat it!
The amount that Lu Mingfei can pass is $139400!
At the last minute, someone invested 12, betting that Lu Mingfei would win!
Fingel's eyes widened.
He had painstakingly set up a scheme tonight, hoping to make a fortune, but at the last moment, someone else stole the prize!
Of his bet of over ten thousand US dollars, he ended up receiving less than 9% of the total $15!
In the crowd, another person holding a laptop said to Finger, "One of the last IDs to place a bet was Ranran, betting 10, but I didn't see any real-name information!"
"There was another person who bet 2."
"Damn it, Ranran has been talking about Lu Mingfei's embarrassing moments all this time. I didn't expect she was here to take advantage of him too!"
"Did he also receive inside information?" someone asked Fingel.
Fingel shook his head.
"Judging from this ID, could it be a girl?" someone speculated.
Fingel immediately logged into his Night Watchers forum as an administrator to find out who the last two investors were.
A minute later, he exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually Gu Ran and Professor Manstein!"
Damn it, how could they use such a disgusting ID like 'Ranran' to scam people!
Fingel became increasingly suspicious. When Professor Guderian used the Word of Power: Emperor to test Lu Mingfei, Gu Ran and Manstein were not present, and they should not have known that he had sold the test papers to Lu Mingfei.
How could these two be so sure that Lu Mingfei would pass the 3E exam?
Gu Ran, in particular, helped create momentum and ultimately placed a generous bet of $10.
This clearly shows they saw through his plan and intended to make a quick buck!
