Playing tricks!
Although Ning Buwen admitted that the man who claimed to be Boss Tan did bring him some pressure, what he said really did not inspire much respect for him.
He comes up and says he wants to make a bet with you, and then he says the time for the bet has not come yet, and when the time comes, it will be your death.
What era is this? Are there still people using such old-fashioned words to play tricks
When science develops to a certain level, the belief in gods and ghosts will naturally become weaker. Ning Buwen is not a superstitious person, so he did not take Tan Laoban's words to heart.
He is a young man who is about to achieve success. How could he retreat just because of a few words? Isn't this the same as what was often said in TV dramas and movies in the past: "I see that your forehead is black and I am afraid you will have a bloody disaster"
Ning Buwen believed that this Boss Tan must be from a big casino and deliberately said such words to recruit him.
Well, although the trick was old-fashioned, it had to be said that it still successfully left a deep impression in Ning Buwen's mind.
Ning Buwen just thought about it for a while and then put the matter out of his mind.
He is a famous person now, how can he stop just because of a few words from a middle-aged man? If he is really fooled by the other party, he will definitely become a joke in this city for a hundred years!
Ning Buwen came out of his apartment and walked in a shopping mall in Las Vegas, preparing to buy something for himself.
Ahem, too much money was given to him before, he needs to work hard to spend it.
Ning Buwen underestimated his current popularity.
The gambling competition is an annual event in this city, comparable to the New Year. People living in this city, even those who don't gamble, will watch the competition. After Ning Buwen defeated Wolff, he was already one of the favorites to win the championship and would definitely be a celebrity in the future. Therefore, as soon as he walked out of the apartment, fans and reporters swarmed over him.
"Mr. Ning, I heard that you refused to enroll at X University. Will you return to school after you get good results in this competition?"
"Are you confident in the next match? Your opponent is the younger brother of the previous champion. He is also a favorite to win the championship and is about the same age as you..."
"Mr. Ning, is there a casino you would like to work for?"
"Mr. Ning, can you help me sign my name?"
…
When most people experience this kind of scene of becoming famous overnight, they can't help but back off a little. Because there are too many people surrounding them, if they don't handle it well, it will cause chaos, and they can't make their voices heard at all, and can only be pushed around by these people.
But Ning Buwen had already made preparations early.
He has thought about how he would become famous in this game countless times, and has also thought of various response plans in advance.
Therefore, Ning Bu Wen not only did not show any uneasiness, but was full of pride and was willing to treat this situation as practice for what he would face after winning the championship.
Haha, after I win the championship, more people will surround me.
What does this little scene matter
"Don't worry, come one by one." Ning Buwen smiled brightly, "I won't run away, you should line up first. Those who want autographs stand on the left, those who want to ask questions stand on the right, otherwise if more people come, you won't be able to get a number."
Ning Buwen had a convincing aura about him. After he said that, these reporters and fans realized that they couldn't get what they wanted by surrounding him like this. In addition, Ning Buwen was indeed very cooperative, so they obediently did as Ning Buwen asked.
"Don't worry, I will definitely win the championship."
Ning Buwen went out and felt even better.
Very good, he is very satisfied with his current situation.
It turned out that participating in the competition was the right decision. He had gone from an unknown minor to the success he has today. If he had walked at a normal pace, it would have taken at least a dozen or twenty years of hard work. But now, he only needed a little time to prove his existence to the world.
Where can I find a free job that can satisfy my hobbies and maintain a high quality of life
Ning Buwen just felt that he had made the wisest decision in his life.
As he defeated his opponents again and again, his fame grew.
Of course, you can’t be so casual when going out.
"Oh, it's hard to be a human being, and it's even harder to be a celebrity." Ning Bu Wen was fully armed, with the mentality of "no one can find me, if I am found I will just reluctantly sign my name", and slowly walked out of the back door of the community.
I made an appointment with my friends today to have fun in this city.
In other cities, his fame is limited and he won't be mobbed when walking on the street.
"You're drifting." The friend noticed it the first time he saw Ning Buwen.
On the surface, Ning Buwen seemed calm and composed, but in fact he could no longer suppress his pride.
This is not incomprehensible.
Ning Buwen was only 16 years old after all, barely quasi-adult. It was already admirable that he could maintain such superficial peace after gaining so much honor, money, and status overnight.
Those who have a slightly worse mentality are now so proud that I don’t know how to be proud.
"Hehe, there's nothing I can do. This dazzling sunlight can't block my brilliance." Ning Bu Wen spread his hands innocently, with an expression of "I can't help it either". This little expression is really irritating.
The friend was amused by his shamelessness.
"You, don't get too obsessed with it."
"Don't worry, I understand."
"No, you don't understand!"
There are some things that you can't understand without experiencing them yourself.
Especially for Ning Buyun now, he has gained too much in this competition, and he will gain even more. Now he is just a favorite to win the championship, but he already has wealth and social status that ordinary people can hardly reach. When he really becomes the champion, all he can see and hear is a bright future and endless praise.
Ning Buwen and his friends came to the seat that had been reserved in advance and sat down.
Although it is a neighboring city, this city has done a great job in banning inappropriate entertainment activities.
Ning Buwen just sat in the restaurant without any disguise and was not recognized by anyone.
The two cities seem like two different worlds.
"Is there some gambling competition going on in the neighboring city?"
“It seems to have begun.”
"Really? Can't the international government make an effort to ban this kind of bad entertainment?"
"It's not that easy. There are so many countries involved. It's hard to say how long the negotiations will take. And it's also one of the best money laundering channels..."
Although there was no competition here, residents of neighboring cities still heard some news.
"I heard that there are minors in this event."
"No way, is it that excessive? Those international youth protection organizations don't say anything?"
"It's useless for them to talk."
With the conversation started, the guests who came later couldn't help but start talking about this topic. This is indeed a very interesting topic of conversation.
"Is this the reason why you chose this restaurant?" Ning Buwen looked at his friend's face, "Do you think that if they say a few sarcastic words like that, I will change my mind?"
Although I know my friend is very naive, this seems a bit too naive.
Could it be that I was too nice to him, which caused him to misunderstand me
"No, I just want to let you know that this game is not as good as you think." The friend hesitated for a while, then shook his head, "I'm afraid you'll get addicted."
"I understand." Ning Buwen shrugged, "Look at me since I was a child. When have I ever suffered a loss?"
It is precisely because you have never suffered a loss that you are afraid that if you suffer a loss, it will be a big one.
The friend sighed silently.
Ning Bu Wen still enjoyed the meal, bought a bunch of things and sent them to his home, then slowly went back with his friends.
Entrance to Las Vegas.
Ning Bu Wen armed himself again.
The friend twitched his lips, not understanding why he didn't ask what this sudden idol burden was all about.
Can we still have fun here
A lot of people gathered under the tall building at the entrance.
"Little girl, don't do anything stupid. You are still young and have a bright future ahead of you." The reporter's voice came from the crowd. "Even if you have a bomb strapped to your body, you can't hurt this city. Its building materials are the best in the world."
Ning Bu Wen looked at his friend in surprise. Was this also arranged by you
My friend rolled his eyes and asked, "How could I have such ability?"
Since it was not arranged by your friends, you can go and have a look without any worries.
Ning Buwen successfully squeezed in.
The person separated was a 13 or 14-year-old girl. Although judging age by appearance is not so desirable in this era, Ning Buwen still made an accurate judgment because the girl was wearing the same clothes that the 13 or 14-year-old children in the welfare home wore.
Orphanages usually raise children until they are sixteen years old, because at the age of sixteen they are either admitted to vocational schools, or in high school preparing for the college entrance examination, and the better ones are directly admitted to universities.
"I have no future." The little girl's eyes were red and swollen, as if she had been crying. Judging from her expression, she was very emotional. "I have no home, I have no home. It's all your fault. It's all your fault! It's you who dragged my father here. It's you who caused him to fail!"
The little girl spoke in a very excited tone and didn't look like she could calm down.
Ning Bu Wen squeezed in the crowd for a while, listening to the discussions of the onlookers, and sorted out his thoughts.
The girl originally came from a wealthy family, and her family ran a company. When her father became addicted to gambling, he lost the company, was in debt, and committed suicide with his wife. The girl had no other relatives, and she was not young, so she was sent to an orphanage.
No matter how good the teachers or robot nannies are in the welfare home, it is still different from home.
The little girl was already sad, and her life in the orphanage was not going well, so she bought a bomb from somewhere and tried to blow up the building.
In addition to gambling, there are many other illegal activities in Las Vegas. Hot weapons like this are not allowed to be sold to minors, but this little girl still managed to buy one.
In fact, this kind of weapon cannot possibly damage the buildings here.
Ning Buwen looked for a while and then walked out.
It's not like he hasn't seen this kind of thing before.
Soon, the little girl will be subdued and taken for psychological counseling. After that, she will grow up obediently in the welfare home and enter society to survive on her own.
Ning Buwen had seen several people similar to the little girl when he was in the welfare home.
Since there are people who get rich in this city, there are naturally people who go bankrupt in this city.
It is normal for people to have desires. This city simply provides an alternative lifestyle without actively seducing people. In fact, many cities have banned reporting on Las Vegas in order to prevent people from coming here to gamble, but there are still many tourists every day.
It actually makes no sense for the little girl to vent all her resentment on this city.
"No need to ask." The friend followed him out, "No one knows better than us how this city got its wealth."
"I know, so I used the money I got from this city to donate to our welfare home." Ning Buwen raised his chin slightly, "Do you think I'm a greedy person?"
Ning Buwen is actually not greedy for money.
Even though he has a lot of money now, he doesn't buy any luxury goods, mostly daily necessities. The money he donated to the welfare house almost accounts for two-thirds of his income during this period. Rather than saying that Ning Buwen likes the money, it's better to say that he likes the sense of accomplishment.
"Of course not."
"That's right." Ning Buwen laughed again, "Okay, don't worry about it. When the time comes, go check which orphanage the little girl went to, and I'll donate some money to help her finish college."
The friend didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm not asking you to donate money."
"I like donating money, I really like it." Ning Buwen nodded, "When you get married, I will donate a large sum to you."
"Okay, this is nonsense. I won't be an adult until next year, and I'll have to wait for several years to get married." The friend waved his hand and said, "I can check where this little girl bought the weapon. If I find out, I should be able to become a regular in the patrol team."
"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you to get promoted and make a fortune."
After saying goodbye to his friends, Ning Buwen began to prepare for the last few games.
At this point in the competition, there were only about twelve people left. With such a small number of people, it was impossible to play one-on-one. Instead, everyone gambled together, with the same chips, and then played within a specified time. The two players with the least chips were eliminated, and the top ten of the year were selected.
In other words, every battle that comes next will be a tough one.
Ning Buwen said that the only time he could rest was now.
When the buddy was about to get to the sixth, he said that he had successfully contacted the girl and was about to get information from her about the place where she bought the weapon.
When the top six were in the quarterfinals, my friend said he had found a den that illegally sold weapons. In addition to these weapons, this den also sold some gambling cheating props? Because these props have very low technological content, they can still be used in the game.
At the same time, Ning Buwen also met his most tough opponent.
Among the remaining six people, two are not real gambling masters, but so-called cheating masters.
Facing such an enemy, it is not an opponent that can be defeated by simply relying on intelligence and psychological warfare.
Ning Bu Wen was involved in a tough battle for the first time.
Fortunately, Ning Buwen's luck was much better than others. He successfully turned the tables at the last moment and entered the final four to compete for the annual championship, runner-up and third place.
On the day of the semi-finals, Ning Buwen sent invitations to his friends and their girlfriends, all of which had the best seats in the audience.
But among the people who came, only my girlfriend, my friends and the patrol team were out on a case. Although I couldn't make it to the semi-finals, I could still make it to the finals.
Although Ning Bu Wen was a little angry, he also knew that this was not something his friends could decide, so he had to focus all his energy on the current competition.
It’s not too late to talk about other things after the game is over.
"The one who entered the finals is Ning Buwen—"
When the host announced Ning Buwen's name, the whole audience cheered.
Especially Ning Buwen’s supporters, who were howling like crazy.
This young man actually did it!
Even if he cannot break the age record for the annual champion, at least he has broken the record for the annual runner-up.
Ning Bu Wen stood on the high platform, looking at the crowd of people around him, and felt extremely excited.
ah.
This stage was set for me.
Ning Buwen couldn't help but think so in his heart. It was indeed the right decision for me to come here. Only here can I play my greatest value.
At this time, Ning Buwen saw that the door of the Supreme VIP box opened.
That was the best seat in the entire venue. It was well sealed. People inside the box could see what was happening outside, but people outside could not see who was inside.
Generally, this kind of box can only be enjoyed by high-ranking people in this city.
Normally, this box will be opened when the champion is decided, and the people inside will present the awards.
But now, the door of this box was opened in advance.
Ning Buwen couldn't help but move his eyes over.
There was an acquaintance in the box.
Boss Tan leaned on his cane, smiled at Ning Buwen, and silently said two words, "Congratulations."
Ning Buwen raised his chin slightly, pointed at himself, and said, "I will be the champion."
The sounds from the audience seemed to have stopped at this moment, and only Ning Buwen and Tan Laoban could see each other.
Ning Buwen didn't know the origins of this Boss Tan, but that didn't stop him from expressing his thoughts.
He will definitely be the champion!
Boss Tan closed the door of the box again.
Just wait and see.
Ning Buwen saw the door closed again and said in his heart, "When I win the championship, you will come out of the box and present the award to me."
Yes, Ning Buwen subconsciously regarded this Boss Tan as the award presenter.
He had no idea how surprised the real award presenter was when he saw Boss Tan open the door of the box.
Since Boss Tan is so optimistic about it, why don’t you ask
In this way, it would be difficult for them to take action against Ning Buwen, because no one who knew about the existence of Boss Tan would be willing to be hostile to him.
somewhere.
"There are already more than 70% of people supporting Ning Buwen to win the championship, and the number is still rising. If Ning Buwen really wins the championship, we will lose at least 100 billion!"
In a gambling city, how could there be no private peripheral casinos
Before Ning Buwen suddenly appeared, there were many favorites for the audience to choose from. But after Ning Buwen appeared, his support rate suddenly increased.
"On the other hand, if Ning Buwen loses, we can earn more than 100 billion." Another person retorted, "As long as Ning Buwen can't win, it's fine. There is no power behind him. As long as we give him some benefits and promise him something, he will naturally know what to choose."
"Ning Bu Wen is not that easy to get along with, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen any faction now. He is a rare commodity now. Once he wins the championship, he will be able to gain much more than what we are giving him now."
"He's an orphan, can't we handle him?"
"It's better not to ask for help, but just now after he entered the finals, Boss Tan opened the door of the box and congratulated him."
"What? Why did Boss Tan show up?"
"have no idea."
"Wait, if Boss Tan gets involved, we can't do anything to Ning Buwen. Even if we lose money this year, we can just take some time to recover. But if we offend Boss Tan, we may not be able to stand here next year."
"Yeah yeah."
"Wait a minute, Boss Tan may not be interested in such a young man." Some people are willing to give up this year's profits, while naturally there are also those who are unwilling to give up.
The person who was speaking was an arms dealer who had just managed to squeeze into their group this year.
For the old man, losing a year's profit is nothing, he can just make it back in other ways. But for this arms dealer, this is his first year in the top management after much difficulty, and most of his fortune has been invested in it. If he loses, he will be seriously injured and will definitely have to give up his position next year.
"hehe."
"Anyway, we won't interfere, just let it happen naturally."
These old foxes were not willing to confront Boss Tan, who was not able to see through their depth. Since the arms dealer wanted to test Boss Tan, they were of course happy to go along with it.
Anyway, Ning Buwen is not their man, so they don’t feel it’s a pity.
Who made Ning Buwen so ungrateful that he doesn't want to join any force
There is no such thing as having the best of both worlds in this world.
The arms dealer went back with a depressed look on his face.
Naturally, he was unwilling to give up this year's interests just because of a small move by his boss.
The boss meets so many people every year, do I have to be timid
The arms dealer quickly ordered his men to find Ning Buwen's weakness.
As long as Ning Buwen loses the game, everything will be fine. At worst, he can support Ning Buwen to win the championship in next year's competition and make up for it.
"Boss, we didn't find any clues over there, but we have another interesting news."
"Oh, what news?"
"Ning Bu Wen has a good friend who is a member of the city patrol team. In our branch, a young man sold some things to an underage girl and got entangled by that person. This matter should not have troubled you, boss, but doesn't it just happen to be related to Ning Bu Wen?"
"Are you sure they have a good relationship?"
"Very good. That person is at least one year older than Ning, and they left the orphanage one after the other."
"What's his name?"
"Ping doesn't care."
The author has something to say: Ping Buguan: I finally have a name!
