I'm A Baller - Chapter 216
Chapter 216: The Roulette Draws Thrice in a Row
The moment he saw the Ou Fei Roulette, Chief Wang was in a good mood.
When he saw the word “intermediate” on the its back, his mood almost took off.
When he saw the selling price…
Sorry to disturb you, goodbye forever.
It’s not easy to be a big brother on the list…
The selling price was a full five million!
How much money in total did Chief Wang have now?!
He had 7.25 million left after buying the car earlier. In four days, he had earned more than 800,000. He had spent 2.15 million on a trip to the capital, and he had paid 25,000 in advance for the renovations.
Currently, he only had 5.9 million in cash.
After buying the roulette, he immediately became extremely poor again.
However, after carefully read the description of the item Wang Yan gritted his teeth and took it.
He had to buy the elementary Ou Fei Roulette. He had to buy as many as he could because his mathematical expectation value was positive. The more he bought, the more he would earn.
As for the intermediate Ou Fei Roulette, Wang Yan’s calculations showed that he would earn more.
Similarly, it had 10 slots and three were total loss.
4 Green. Item Value: One, two, three and four million respectively.
2 Blue. Item Value: Eight, and twelve million respectively.
1 gold. Item Value: 25 million!
Calculating the mathematical expectation value, the result was not only positive, but it was as high as 500,000!
In other words, every time Wang Yan bought an intermediate Ou Fei Roulette, he earned 500,000 yuan long term average return..
Was the figure high?
Not High.
It was just two and a half days of breathing wages.
However, the roulette did not directly give money, but there would be many good things that could not be obtained through normal channels. Winning anything did not count as a loss, and winning the first prize would be a big win!
So what was there to hesitate about?
No matter what, he had to win it…
At most, he would stay still a few days and not go out to play.
The moment he took down the roulette, the capital turned into 900,000. Without hesitating, Wang Yan decisively activated the [ time accelerator ] .
[ One-time item ]
[ Accelerates the internal time of the system. It can travel for a week in an instant. ]
[ Price: One million ]
[ Note: This item can only be kept for 15 days at most. If it is not used within the time limit, it will become ineffective. ]
After activating it, there was no feeling in reality. However, the system’s interface suddenly refreshed.
There was an additional item in the shopping mall. At the same time, the funds jumped to 2.3 million.
Yes!
This was how the game was played!
Wang Yan waved his fist fiercely and immediately looked at the newly appeared item.
[ Animal affinity ]
[ Special item ]
[ After using it, your body will have a special aura. It will be easier for animals to get close to you, trust you, and effectively convey your emotions. ]
[ Price: One million ]
Was this thing useful?
Wang Yan was a little uncertain. He suddenly felt that he was developing into a young master who walked dogs and played with birds.
After pondering for a long time, a thought suddenly popped into his mind, and it came inexplicably.
How about…raising two Huskies?!
There was a theorem in sociology–
Q: Under unfamiliar circumstances, how do you judge whether a person is really rich?
A: Don’t look at his car and watch. It’s possible that he bought it to uphold the occasion. It depends on whether he dares to raise a husky, how many of them and if they are chained at home.
Two huskies, real rich.
Five, super rich.
Double digits. He must live in a bomb shelter. When he went out, he had to drive an armored car. Only South African warlords could keep up such appearances.
To be frank, who wouldn’t tremble at the sight of me?
When going to work, how they wished to kneel down on me: Brother, you’re steady. Don’t blow up today!
Among the stray dogs, why was husky the least?
It was because the other breeds were all playful and got lost, before they became stray dogs.
What about husky?
After being playful, they were basically stewed.
Wang Yan thought carefully about the feasibility of it. He felt that two were a little unbearable. He could try having one.
It was not about how much money he had, and whether he could afford to tear down and renovate his house. It was the fact that he could not take care of it.
Alright, let’s discuss it again.
However, props could be bought. They were not expensive and easy to use.
The 1.4 million that he had just received disappeared in an instant. Wang Yan felt that he was really floating. Spending RMB was like spending ghost money. He could not be bothered to count amount below 10,000.
Cash: 1,310,000.
Experience: 1,519/12,500.
Leveling up was far away. He could not be bothered to think so much!
…
Monday, September 23rd.
There was a professional class at 8 am. It was the basics of economics.
After Wang Yan came to the classroom, he didn’t pay much attention to the class. He had been doing difficult math problems.
First, he wanted to calculate the probability.
The formula was as follows:
(The calculation was cumbersome.)
The chance of winning the lottery was one out of 21.42 million.
Then, the expectation formula calculated the expected yield = expectation/2 = 46% .
After that, Wang Yan began to calculate the double betting odds and the expected yield.
In fact, no matter how the double was done, the expected yield was always the same. The calculation was seemed to be useless.
However, what Wang Yan really wanted was to exchange money. The meaning of winning was not in the reward, but “winning” itself.
So the real weighted expected yield was always changing.
After considering the external factors, he finally got the most cost-effective combination.
After class, Wang Yan walked back to the rental house. He changed to a real low-key T-shirt and shorts, put on a cap, sunglasses, and immediately drove through the streets, looking for a lottery station in the neighborhood.
It was not difficult to find.
Every neighborhood had at least one lottery station, either in the front door or the side door.
When they reached the first lottery station, Wang Yan sat down and began to read the numbers.
“The first ticket is the lottery. For today’s issue 15111, the first nine numbers are… the last three numbers are…”
“Double the bet. How much is the total?”
The boss said casually, “2,268 yuan. How will you pay?”
Actually, Wang Yan knew how much it was. He had calculated it himself. How could he not know?
“I’ll pay through WeChat. Can you support it?”
“Yes.”
“Then, let’s continue. One more ticket. It’s still the first nine and the last three, respectively…”
There were a lot of customers playing the double lottery. Those who were more addicted would usually pay 20,000 yuan for a single double ticket. The boss was used to it.
A total of five double tickets were played. Wang Yan paid 11,340 yuan and left.
He continued to look for the next one.
If he really could win the lottery, the total price of a double ticket was 2,268 yuan. It made sense.
If his parents asked about it, he would answer, “I made a lot of money with my friends. I bought a lottery ticket like they did and won the lottery.”
It was totally OK.
If you picked one more number, the amount of the ticket would soar to 4,536 yuan. It would definitely make the parents worried.
“Son, where did you get so much money to buy a lottery ticket?”
“Son, you can’t be addicted to that… study hard is the right way!”
That kind of situation would definitely happen.
As for why it was double, it was very simple–there were too few single bets, and it was not enough to cover it up. No matter how much you tried, you would not be able to win.
Within 3,5 bets, as long as the right number was chosen, there would not be any problem. Basically, there were lucky people who won the first prize in every issue, and it happened all the time around us.
3,5 bets or more…
Anyway, to play safe, Wang Yan would play double.
He was not short of money, and did not expect to make a fortune with mind games.
And the chance of winning in the first 9 and last 3 suddenly soared to 1 in 56,600.
It was still very low, but it didn’t matter. Wang Yan could make up for it with quantity.
After a busy day, Wang Yan only had simple dinner and he went to a total of 33 lottery stations..
He played a total of 160 lottery tickets and spent 360,000 yuan.
It could be said that he had traveled half of Star City.
In fact, there were more than 100 lottery stations in the Star Sand district alone. However, Wang Yan deliberately chose sites that were far away from each other, and the quantity of lottery tickets bought in each place was different.
It could be said that he was extremely cautious.
Although Wang Yan knew that his actions were extremely inconspicuous. A small amount of spending would be drowned in hundreds of millions of sales.
However, Wang Yan was willing to toss and turn.
Caution was always a good habit.
Out of the 160 sets of double tickets, all the combinations of the two basketballs were covered. As for the red ball…it was up to fate.
Of course, the necessary preparations had to be made.
The live broadcast time of the lottery was 8:30 am.
At 8:28 am, Wang Yan used the [ Luck or Strength ] card.
“Burn the Card!”
[ You burn the special card and obtain a temporary buff. The European Emperor has descended. ]
[ No matter how small the chance is, it has happened before. The meaning of the existence of the chance is to prove that it can be done. ]
[ In 30 minutes, your luck will soar to an extremely high level. ]
[ When the time limit is over, all critical chance in the system will be halved within 7 days. However, this bad luck will not continue into your life. ]
Wang Yan did not have time to think about anything else. He did not even look up at the live webcast. He immediately opened the system inventory.
In the panel, there were a total of three shining Ou Fei Roulette.
It had been more than 20 days since he had gotten the first Ou Fei Roulette. Wang Yan had not opened it. He had been waiting for today.
If the [ Luck or Strength ] card had not been limited by the [ Must Use within 30 Days ] card, Wang Yan would have even planned to save up dozens of roulette. Then, he would have a wave of fun.
Alright, three was fine, too. There was even an intermediate roulette, so the special card did not go to waste.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Yan jumped up and down, swinging his fists left and right. With an excited mood that he was about to enter the boxing ring, he started to draw the lottery.
Indeed, he would not lose anything if he drew nothing. It was only millions that he spent, and Wang Yan could afford to lose it.
However, the charm of the lottery was the anticipation of the unknown, and no one was immune to it.
“Open the Ou Fei Roulette! Beginner level!”
With a command, the first roulette began to spin.
When the needle was about to stop, it slowly passed by the golden checkerboard, then brushed the edge of the white checkerboard, and finally stopped in the blue checkerboard.
“Phew… wide and wide!”
Wang Yan let out a breath of turbid air, half of his mood was filled with joy.
It was a very useful skill book, and it was sold for two million!
[ Driving Skill (Master) ]
[ After using it, you will acquire master level driving skill. ]
[ Old driver is you, you are the old driver. ]
Previously the master level calligraphy skill book was sold for 600,000, but the master level driving skill was worth two million..
Wang Yan guessed that it might be because of its applicability?
Let’s ask the system. There might be an answer.
“System, what is the basis for the price of the skill and tool?”
[ Weight of life ]
The broken system was always so stupid. It never paid attention to the iron rule that “The host is the boss”.
“So? Be more specific, okay?!”
[ That is a very complicated judging formula. Are you sure you want to listen? ]
“Thank you. You’re great, but NO.”
Wang Yan was terrified.
I didn’t have time to talk to you. It’s not because I was afraid that I could not understand!
…
“Open the second beginner level Ou Fei Roulette. ”
The needle quietly stopped in the golden grid.
Wang Yan was stunned for a moment. Then, he jumped up and swung his fist fiercely. “Yes!!!”
Five million in hand!
And that item…
Was well worth!
[ I’m a wolf destroyer (random version). ]
[ Special training tool, one-time item. ]
[ with this item, you can instantly train a random self-defense skill. ]
[ Note: The highest level of mastery of this skill will not exceed the mastery level. ]
Wow!
So it was…
Kung Fu?!
When boys were young, they had a dream of being a hero. Although it was not popular to be a Kung Fu master lately, having a certain level of martial arts was actually a cool thing that could increase their confidence.
Kung Fu was not the same as fighting, but occasionally it could be used for self defense. Most of the time it was equivalent to…being handsome.
Being handsome was the end of it!
Wang Yan shouted delightedly, “Use it! No Taekwondo, no monkey fist, no mantis fist, and the best is…Tai Chi!”
At this moment, Chief Wang did not know that in the future, there would be a strong man who would defeat Tai Chi.
At this moment, Tai Chi was being promoted by all the major movies and TV series to be linked to both handsome and capable of fighting.
Handsome was really handsome, especially in the hands of that Jet Lee, the movie star. It was simply elegant.
Could he fight?
There were doubts.
However, Wang Yan did not think too much about it. Did god tier tycoon want to personally fight in the ring?
Nonsense!
If he was handsome, he was done for!
[ Wolf Extinguisher Training Tool ] quickly turned into a golden light and disappeared into the inventory.
Wang Yan opened the skill panel excitedly and looked at it with great anticipation…he was an idiot.
[ Gracie Jiu jitsu (Master) ]
[ Strongest combat skill on the ground. ]
[ Characteristics: Once locked, you won’t live for more than 10 seconds! ]
[ Best at is pulling opponent down and rolling happily together. ]
[ Note: Please do not use this powerful fighting technique on the opposite sex. You will die a horrible death. ]
Chief Wang was furious when he saw the last sentence.
“F * ck you! Does it mean it be used on the same sex?!”
“I’m a god tier tycoon! My pursuit is being handsome!”
Pressing his forehead, Fu Guige felt his temples throbbing.
Was he lucky?
Yes.
The highest level was mastery, and then it would be randomly assigned to the highest level.
Moreover, Gracie’s Jiu Jitsu was a very strong one-on-one combat technique, especially against enemies who had an advantage in height, weight, and strength.
To be honest, when facing an opponent whose strength surpassed his own, the combat technique with the highest victory rate was to approach, grab, fall to the ground, lock, break…and escape.
In facing an opponent whose height and weight were lower than his, it was even more so that a throw could solve the battle.
That was why Gracie’s grappling skill had such a high winning rate and spread so widely.
It could be said that this time, the best result would be a random result–in theory.
However, it was not handsome.
It was gayish.
Chief Wang glanced at the interface again and decided to completely forget about this skill.
It’s impossible to use it!
If I couldn’t win the fight, couldn’t I run away?!
Stupid system, just count me as loser for once!
Chief Wang chanted and quickly turned his head to deal with the last Ou Fei Roulette.
Intermediate roulette.
