Chapter 19: The 2014 World Cup semi-finals, isn’t that a coincidence?

“Xiao Yuzi, my luck has been terrible lately. You have strong yang energy, so sit down and help your sister analyze. Which team do you choose, Germany or Brazil?”

Mo Shangying squatted on the swivel chair, hooked a bare foot under the table, and pulled out the flat-wheeled stool.

Recalling the 【Predict Heavenly Secrets】 daily quest that had just appeared on Mo Shangying, it turned out the match she wanted to predict was this one.

Isn't this a coincidence?

He quietly withdrew all the spirit stones from the system.

His bank card balance immediately rose to 【7924 Yuan】.

In just half a day, his cumulative income exceeded ten thousand yuan.

If it weren't for the urgent money-making quest of 【Grand Plan to Protect the Sect】.

Lin Yu wouldn't need any extra investment; he could just complete quests on his female roommates every day and become incredibly wealthy sooner or later.

Even without much experience in betting on soccer, Lin Yu knew that the prize multipliers for large scores were incredibly high.

Multiplying it by dozens or even a hundred times shouldn't be difficult, right?

Lin Yu temporarily suppressed his excited emotions and asked in return:

“Yinger, which team are you planning to bet on?”

Mo Shangying placed her mouse cursor over the Brazil team's emblem and hesitated, saying:

“Emotionally speaking, I want to choose Brazil.”

“Germany always gives off a feeling of winning with great difficulty. They won the Round of 16 in extra time, and the quarterfinals were only a narrow one-goal victory.”

“Logically, Brazil is the host country; winning by one goal against Germany isn't too much to ask, is it?”

No wonder she lost so much money; she was a pure soccer jinx.

Betting on luck isn't scary.

What's scary is a lucky person who insists on using their brain.

Lin Yu pointed at the Germany team's emblem and said:

“If it were me, I'd choose Germany.”

“By the way, what kind of special purchasing channel is this?”

Mo Shangying made a shushing gesture and said mysteriously:

“Anyway, even if I tell you the website, you won't be able to buy anything, so don't even think about it.”

“The money Qimeng Auntie gave you is for your living expenses; I can't lead you astray!”

“You choose Germany, huh…”

“To commemorate you becoming my partner, I'll trust you this once!”

Another girl with principles.

After Mo Shangying finished speaking, she performed a series of operations that made Lin Yu's heart itch.

Lin Yu pinched his lips, thought for a moment, and pressed on:

“Yinger, on such a memorable day, could you buy some for me too? I'll send you a red packet then.”

“I promise I'm not using Qimeng Auntie's money; it's the royalties I earned from writing novels!”

Mo Shangying looked at him with a face full of disbelief: “You? Write novels?”

Lin Yu said firmly: “Yeah, my writing skills are quite good. Don't look down on me!”

Mo Shangying: “Are you sure it's royalties?”

Lin Yu: “Absolutely and positively.”

“Click-clack… click-clack…”

Before Lin Yu could say more, 【7924.62 Yuan】 already appeared on the monitor as the balance.

Mo Shangying's eyes widened in astonishment: “You have that much money? You spent over three thousand today, and you still have eight thousand?”

Lin Yu's eyes were even wider than hers: “Are you being polite?! You're invading someone's privacy!”

Mo Shangying's eyes darted around, and without any warning, she reached out her hand and performed a move like “Strange Person Stealing Peaches.”

Her move was extremely fast and caught him off guard.

But in Lin Yu's eyes, it was like slow motion.

He not only clearly saw Mo Shangying's movements but also, as if presciently, perceived her maximum “attack length.”

Lin Yu braced his feet on the ground, slid the stool slightly, and easily avoided Mo Shangying's “thieving hand.”

“Still trying to ambush me? You're directly attacking someone's privacy!”

Lin Yu said, swaying the stool smugly.

Mo Shangying pursed her lips in slight surprise:

“Oh? Your reaction speed is pretty good, Xiao Yuzi.”

“This isn't invading your privacy; it's necessary background investigation.”

“Is writing novels that profitable? Can you earn over ten thousand a day?”

“Let me see the source of the transfer…”

Lin Yu wanted to stop her, but he still wasn't faster than Mo Shangying's typing hands.

“Click-clack…”

After a couple of simple taps, the withdrawal income records were filtered out individually as a data stream.

“Yanbei City Long Ago Online Literature Company, are they really novel royalties?”

“Not bad, Xiao Yuzi, at such a young age, you can already support a family!”

“Can you earn ten thousand every day?”

Mo Shangying's eyes gleamed with shrewdness, and she quickly started calculating in her mind.

Lin Yu stared at the company name that appeared on the screen, lost in thought.

Yanbei City Long Ago Online Literature Company?

Absolutely fake!

There was no such company at all.

Could it be that the system heard Lin Yu's thoughts and, cooperating with his actions, adjusted the source of the funds?

Thinking about it that way.

The system seemed more humanized than he had imagined.

Anyway.

Mo Shangying's internal suspicions were now dispelled.

Lin Yu seized the opportunity and quickly said:

“If I earned ten thousand a day, I'd drop out of school just like you. This is a week's royalties.”

“So, using my own money, is it okay to help me buy some now?”

“Wouldn't it be nice to have a man accompany you to watch the game in the early morning?”

【Ding!】

【Well done! Actively offering to accompany Array Hall Elder has made her very happy!】

【Reward: 20 Spirit Stones】

The argument that truly convinced Mo Shangying was the last sentence.

Hearing Lin Yu say that.

Mo Shangying murmured:

“I'm not always watching the game alone either; there's another sister in the Apartment who watches with me.”

“But as for a boy watching the game with me… you're the first.”

“Alright, just this once, don't let it happen again.”

Lin Yu was overjoyed.

Once was enough!

Seizing this opportunity, he could resolve Qimeng Auntie's financial crisis.

And, he could accumulate a considerable return.

After Mo Shangying agreed, she confirmed, asking:

“You recommended Germany, so you're choosing Germany, right?”

Lin Yu leaned closer, nodded, and said:

“That's right, I'm also choosing Germany, but not win-draw-loss, I'm choosing the score.”

Mo Shangying: “???”

Lin Yu: “Can't you choose the score where you're investing?”

Mo Shangying was surprised again:

“You can choose it, but Xiao Yuzi, it's your first time betting, and you're going for such a big gamble?”

Of course, Mo Shangying didn't know.

This wasn't gambling at all; it was an open-book exam.

Even as she said that, she obediently opened the score interface.

Lin Yu couldn't understand the complex English.

But he could understand the scores and the odds.

Indeed.

On Mo Shangying's channel, the range of choices was even greater.

From 0-0 to 10-10, any score in between could be purchased.

Among them.

The odds for 7-1 were a whopping 6500 times!

If he put all his 8000 yuan into 7-1, it could directly turn into over 50 million!

The problem was…

To go all-in on such an outlandish score.

Once the match result came out, how would he explain it to Mo Shangying?

It would be completely illogical, too fake!

There was also the potential danger… would this channel actually pay him out?

Most likely, they would just deny it and run off with the money!

Mo Shangying explained: “Can you understand it? Here are the scores and their corresponding multipliers. Which one do you want to buy?”
