Small gambling pleasure

Jiang Chen originally thought that a bloody and violent boxing match like this would probably be set up in a relatively remote location, such as a suburb far away from the city center, in order to conceal it from others, but in fact, he was still short-sighted.

"The boxing match is held here?"

When Bai Haoran drove into an underground parking lot, Jiang Chen was a little surprised.

You know, this building is a high-end office building, and there may be many white-collar workers working there during the day.

"Gu Long said that the most dangerous place is the safest place."

Bai Haoran replied.

Jiang Chen smiled.

After entering the underground parking lot, Bai Haoran did not stop the car and drove around in the vast underground garage, as if he was looking for something.

Jiang Chen was very patient and did not rush.

After wandering around for about ten minutes, Bai Haoran seemed to have determined the location, found a parking space, and stopped the car.

"Master Jiang, we're here."

Jiang Chen nodded, unbuckled his seat belt, pushed the door and got out of the car.

"The boxing ring is in the building?"

Bai Haoran, who got out of the car, shook his head and lightly stomped on the ground.

"underground."

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.

"There are a total of eight underground elevators in this garage, but only one can lead to the underground, and it will only be open during specific times, so no one will find it."

"Meticulous."

Jiang Chen sighed.

Bai Haoran took him to the only elevator that could lead to the underground boxing ring. After a while, four men in casual clothes came into Jiang Chen's sight.

They were standing guard at the elevator entrance, with sharp eyes, cold faces, and strong bodies. It was obvious what their attributes were.

"They are the outside security of the boxing ring. Whenever the boxing ring is held, this elevator will be activated. Their role is to prevent outsiders from accidentally entering."

Bai Haoran explained softly.

"clear."

As the two approached, the four men's eyes instantly locked on them.

"Master Jiang, wait a moment."

Bai Haoran took two steps forward, and at the same time, took out his mobile phone, as if showing some information on the phone to the other party.

The other party nodded and gave way.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen followed Bai Haoran into the elevator with a calm expression.

"If you want to watch a boxing match, you have to apply to the organizer in advance. The organizer will reply by text message. It may be a picture or a text. It will be different every time, but this is a pass."

Bai Haoran explained, and at the same time pressed the negative second floor button.

Art really comes from life.

Jiang Chen almost felt like he was filming a movie.

"Ding."

After a while.

The elevator door opens.

There were actually several security guards at the door.

Compared to the four above, the security guards inside are obviously much more formal. They are all in suits and wearing headsets. They look like they are not friendly and have an intimidating aura.

indeed.

There are people coming and going in the parking lot, so in order not to attract attention, you really need to dress simply.

The inexperienced Jiang Chen subconsciously looked at Bai Haoran, wondering what the link was.

Bai Haoran had already raised his hands.

Jiang Chen understood instantly.

It turned out to be a body search.

He followed suit and was very cooperative.

Two tough men with metal detectors checked them all over and found nothing abnormal, so they stepped back and made a gesture.

"You two, please come in."

After passing through the oval doorway, Jiang Chen was able to enter the boxing ring.

Underground black boxing is naturally completely different from regular boxing matches. The scene is hemispherical. At the lowest point, a huge octagon can be seen covering the center of the venue, giving off a gloomy and ferocious atmosphere. It is surrounded by layers of stands. Visual inspection

There are almost thousands of seats.

There is no other light source, only a beam of light shining directly down on the oppressive octagonal cage.

Through the dim light, Yingyingchuo could see that many people were sitting around, whispering, but there was a ray of morbid excitement in the cold environment.

"Where to sit?"

Although he has never been here, Jiang Chen can probably understand that the location here should not allow anyone to sit around.

Bai Haoran took his mobile phone and found the appointment location.

Unlike a movie theater, perhaps to ensure that every audience can have a higher viewing experience, each seat is relatively far apart, about one meter apart, so the two people have to sit close to each other to talk.

"Brother Bai, you said before that the prize money for winning contestants is very high, but where does this money come from? From tickets?"

"The tickets are only a small amount. Each ticket is 10,000. If you sell them all, you won't make much money. The most critical source of income is the off-site gambling pool."

"Betting pool?"

Bai Haoran explained in a low voice: "Every time a match starts, usually there will be three to five boxing matches. In each match, guests on site and those who have no chance to be present can place bets on the outcome of the match."

"Buy the outcome?"

"Um."

Bai Haoran added: "There is another way to play, which is to buy life and death."

Jiang Chen was silent, looking at the empty octagonal cage underneath.

In some sense.

This is a replica of the ancient Roman Death Arena.

The rich wave their money and excitedly enjoy the pleasure brought by others' fortunes.

Bai Haoran and Jiang Chen were talking and popularizing the rules of underground boxing matches, and more and more spectators came to the venue.

The atmosphere is getting more and more heated.

Jiang Chen glanced around.

Tsk.

There's a lot of security.

A conservative estimate would suggest that there were dozens of people, scattered throughout the stands, wearing headsets and with stern faces, like evil ghosts in hell.

"Brother Bai, how many times have you been here?"

"Not many times, this is a game for rich people. Almost all the people who come here come here to place bets, so that they can maximize sensory stimulation."

"Have you bought it?"

Jiang Chen asked.

"I bought it, but lost."

"How much did you lose?"

"Three hundred thousand."

Jiang Chen joked, "You don't have good eyesight."

Bai Haoran smiled bitterly, "The person I bought from had already won several games before and was a popular player. I thought I had a chance to win, but who knew that the result turned out to be an upset."

Then, he asked: "Master Jiang, do you want to play today?"

"How to place a bet?"

"On mobile phones, the minimum price is 100,000 yuan and the upper limit is 10 million yuan."

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.

As a bookmaker, based on the odds given by actuarial calculation, I am definitely in an invincible position.
