Chapter 21 King of Kings 1
The second game ended. Anyone could see that the two dogs could not fight at all. So the dog owner and the people from the dog fighting field came out and took off the two dogs. Among the audience, there were troublemakers who kept shouting "refunding tickets".
Zhang Cheng returned to Lao Liu. Lao Liu was also laughing loudly by this scene.
"This time, the dog fighting arena is not going to be out of the market," Lao Liu analyzed. "In fact, this is the norm. Dogs without training are easily scared by this kind of scene. In fact, it is not just dogs. I have watched a documentary before, talking about the beasts used to fight, tigers and lions used to fight in ancient Rome. When I saw so many noisy scenes of the audience, I would be frightened and unwilling to fight. Lions and tigers are like this, let alone dogs. So, this dog fight is basically necessary. I heard that good dog trainers are not easy to find. Ordinary dogs can become strong dogs after practicing."
While speaking, the second wave of jokes ended and the third game was about to begin. The two dogs that came out this time were a little different from before, because when the two dogs appeared and walked around, they could see that they had old injuries. One dog's ear was obviously missing half of the hole, and the other dog had a large gap at the corner of his mouth, which looked particularly fierce.
However, Xiao Huihui still ignored it. On the contrary, it had already begun to be "hungry and fry" again. Zhang Cheng had to take out dog food and feed it to this bottomless pit piece by piece.
"These two are not newbies," Lao Liu explained on the side. "Although they are not famous dogs, those who can still play after a few games are basically capable of playing."
Dog fighting competitions are very cruel. It is normal for players to be bitten to death and be injured and bleeding is common. Those who can survive a few games and still play in the game are basically good at the level. As Lao Liu said, the two dogs fight differently from the previous Black Armor General and Lion and Tiger Beast. That scene is called courage and strategy, advance and retreat, not relying on a wild and brainless chaos. Both sides bit and collided, trying to protect their own key points while aiming at the opponent's key points. The two dogs fought fiercely for a long time, and finally a key appeared. One dog bit one of the opponent's front legs, while the opponent took this opportunity to lock its neck.
At the critical moment of life and death, the two dogs fought bravely and exerted their greatest combat power. The dog's throat was torn apart, and blood was like a spring, and it soon stopped. And it bit off the other party's legs.
This scene is a bit bad. Although the loser is seriously injured and dying (in fact, the death penalty can be confirmed), the winner is also disabled. Even though the winner is taken by the master and received cheers in the audience, the sad atmosphere is inexplicably sad.
"This scene...both loses."
"This is not considered a loss-making loss." Old Liu is a veteran, "the winner will never fail."
"This dog is disabled, right?" Zhang Cheng judged. "Even if it is cured, there should be no way to be a fighting dog again."
"We need to think about it from a different perspective. After all, if it wins, it is valuable even if it can't fight anymore. It can be sold to a dog farm by its owner... Although it is disabled, this kind of decent fighting dog is very popular for breeding. According to humans, it will only be left to enjoy the rest of its life. From now on, there will be no worries about eating and drinking. There will be many children around it. Really, dog winners are real. Of course, this is what it deserves." Old Liu said with a smile. "However, this dog owner should not make a lot of money. It takes a lot of money to buy a dog, and it costs a lot of money to train a dog. The important thing is that this dog should not win the championship. If you win the championship, the dog will be awesome. Not to mention tickets, it will be a problem to sell it back to the dog farm. "
"Win the championship?" Zhang Cheng asked. Is there a competition for this dogfighting?
"Of course. I said that this dogfighting has become an underground industry. There will naturally be a championship." Lao Liu said. "But that championship is not such a wild place. It is much more formal and the bets are also large. However, the frequency of that kind of competition is not high, only one or two games a month. But it is really exciting. The lowest-level ones are at the level of the two dogs just now. The competition here is actually just to see the excitement, and any dog owner can sign up for the competition. So there are many bad dogs. Like the kind of bad dogs who are scared as soon as they appear and cannot fight. But that kind of game is completely different."
"Are you carefully selected such competitions and fighting dogs?" Zhang Cheng asked.
"Better than this, dogs mainly pay a high deposit." Lao Liu said. "If you lose without a fight, or find out that you have given medicine or something, you will have to be deducted. If this is not the case, the deposit is a gambling!"
So that's it, Zhang Cheng began to understand. This is indeed a good idea. You dare not cheat with high costs.
"Did you see those people?" Old Liu pointed at the distance. Zhang Cheng saw that these were the spectators who were not interested in fighting dogs. Those people seemed to know each other, and they didn't rush to end the show when they got together, but were smoking and chatting there.
"See it." Zhang Cheng said. "What do these people do?"
"These people are real gamblers." Lao Liu said. "The way to bet dogs is actually similar to gambling stones. The gamblers do not bet casually, but rely on experience and skills to find excellent dogs." He snorted gently with his nose. "Just pull the dog out and circle around the field for a week, what can you see? A real dog fighting game has hundreds or thousands of viewers, but the bets purchased by these audiences are not enough to be 50% of the real gamblers. The remaining 50% of the bets come from these real gamblers. Whether they can make money depends entirely on real abilities. Real gamblers are betting in advance."
"Betting in advance? Have you gambled too?" Zhang Cheng remembered that Lao Liu seemed to mention this matter before.
"Hey, don't say, I'm really losing." Old Liu sighed. "I did lose a lot. I thought I had already started, and even if this vision was not good, it was not bad at least. But I still failed and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in one breath. In fact, I really calculated it accurately that time and would never make any mistakes. But after an accident at tmd, the dog I was optimistic about actually lost... I can only say that people have made mistakes and horses have made mistakes. In fact, no matter what kind of fighting competition, there are too many upset examples."
Speaking of this, Lao Liu shook his head and sighed. "I originally wanted to make some money with my own eyes, but I didn't expect to lose a lot. Are you interested in this?"
"Yeah, I want to give it a try." Zhang Cheng replied, touching Xiao Huihui's head in his arms.
"This, brother, it's not me that I've been in this industry for five or six years. From the beginning to joining in the fun, I slowly developed a little vision later. I realized that I was also a pair of eyes raised by training for thousands of times, very poisonous. But even so, I still lost a lot of money." Lao Liu said. "Dog fighting is a niche industry, but it is niche, and the water in it is not shallow at all. The so-called temple is small and the temple has a strong wind and a lot of turtles in the pool is really suitable to describe the dog fighting industry. People like us have a more stable way to make money."
"Why did you want to make money by fighting dogs before?" Zhang Cheng asked suddenly.
"Ha, I want to make money by relying on my own ability. Who would like to think of too much money these days? Besides, even if we have limited demand for money, we can only grab a girl and drink some wine and play some small cards, but we have to think about our family." Lao Liu smiled bitterly. "Although I'm doing this, you're living a good life. It seems that we can all live a good life, but who knows the future? There are unexpected situations in the world, and people have good fortunes and good fortunes. Now, we can get a literary pearl in one go. But if there is a thing..." His voice was low. "I always want to leave more children for my wife, so is it."
"Aren't you divorced?" And you also bought personal accident insurance.
"Well, it's a divorce and the property has been divided." Lao Liu said. "But she didn't look for another man, nor did she remarry. So I know she is still my wife. If I have three or two longs and one day I can't get up again, I hope at least she has enough money to make herself comfortable and support herself. Not to mention children. Although children and grandchildren have their own blessings, if you leave more money, your children's life will always be a little easier in the future."
"I have a chance now, and I'm sure I can win money." Zhang Cheng suddenly said. "Do you think I should participate?"
"Haha, don't hesitate if you have money to make money." Lao Liu said. "But be careful about risks. Sometimes, people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. You have to consider the kind of 'in case'. If nothing else, cooked ducks can still fly."
"By the way, Lao Liu, what is the competition you just mentioned, what is the process?"
"I remember that it is about once a year, known as the Dongzhou Dog King Championship. Basically, it only takes one or two rounds of competition every month, just in the largest dog fighting field in Dongzhou." Lao Liu said. "Although it's not that the frequency is not high every month, it takes time to recover after being injured. That game is not something that ordinary dogs can play. I heard that the deposit amount is very large. So if it's not that the dog is really powerful, it can attract a lot of investors to invest, or the dog owner is really rich, otherwise it is basically impossible to play in that kind of competition."
"If the deposit has been bet, the dog has disappeared due to some accident..."
"If you lose an ordinary bet, you will blame yourself for your bad vision. But if you say something, the dog owner will have to pay for it." Lao Liu said. "The dog owner will have to pay for it even if he doesn't pay it. If he doesn't pay it, he will be afraid that he will not be able to bear the consequences. These dogs are all-round, and they are both black and white."
So that's it, Zhang Cheng felt that he had almost figured out the whole thing. It was already a long time since the game ended, the crowds dispersed, and the crowds around the venue were already sparse. It was indeed not too early. The two of them stood up and planned to leave.
"In this game just now," said Lao Liu. "The audience is about 500,000 yuan, with a bet of about 50,000 yuan and 60,000 yuan. The main reason is that there are few games. The starting price of betting here is only 10 yuan, so everyone doesn't bet much. But in that kind of competition, the betting starts at 100 yuan. That is 50,000 yuan. This is actually very good to win, but it is also very fast to lose!"
"By the way, what kind of game...is it four days later?"
"Oh, you know too?" Old Liu finally believed that Zhang Cheng was indeed planning to play this. "Four days later, the opening game of the first round will be. If you are interested, let's go and see the game together?"
"Okay." Zhang Cheng replied.
He got off the car halfway and came to the pet supplies street. This time, in addition to buying a bag of dog food, he also found a bottle of hair dye there.
As its name suggests, Xiao Huihui is a gray puppy. But it is said to be gray, but its fur is actually black, brown and gray, but the overall look is gray. Zhang Cheng took out a hair dye and Xiao Huihui turned into a light white, but he couldn't help but smell the smell and immediately said that he didn't like it. The chemicals on the earth are not good things for dogs.
Zhang Cheng had no choice but to find a "magic trick" from his pocket. This card was actually useless, but it could be used to clean almost everything. He activated this magic card, and under the action of magic, the dye fell off on Xiao Huihui's body like a drop of water. After such a performance, it was proved that this chemical dye was only used temporarily and could be eliminated soon. Xiao Huihui barely accepted it.
After trying it, Zhang Cheng called Zhuo Wei. It must be said that maybe Zhuo Wei was waiting for the call urgently, because the other party answered the call immediately after dialing it out.
"I agree to lend it to you." Zhang Cheng said. "Before the competition four days later, you can bring a suitable cage over here. Remember, don't try to hold it and touch it, just carry the cage. Don't think about anything else. Since I dare to lend it to you, I'm not afraid of you stealing it."
"Okay!" Zhuo Wei's voice seemed a little trembling through the phone.
"There's another thing," said Zhang Cheng. "You can't tell anyone where it comes from. If it is leaked, you will never have the chance again."
Four days passed in a flash.
At noon on the fourth day, Lao Liu drove the car downstairs of Zhang Cheng's residence on time. Lao Liu had a black Mercedes-Benz, the old model, the kind that was more than ten years old. After Zhang Cheng got in the car, he noticed that Zhang Cheng's eyes were scanning the driver's seat.
"Why, are you interested in my car?" Old Liu asked casually.
"I'm learning to drive recently and just learned to step on the clutch." Zhang Cheng replied.
"Haha, I should have learned it long ago. I have to buy a car after I learn to drive. What car do you want to buy?"
"I want to buy a car that can really go off-road in the wild. It's a kind of thick skin, resistant to beating and fucking, and does not go wrong. I don't care about fuel consumption."
"You want to go out and be a hiker? Well, this is actually good." Old Liu said sincerely. "In that world, it's an adventure. In this world, do whatever you want. Do you want to drink water?" Old Liu handed a bottle of mineral water in his car to Zhang Cheng, "It will take half an hour to go all the way."
"By the way, have you understood the situation of today's competition?" Lao Liu asked when Zhang Cheng twisted the bottle cap.
"I don't know very well." Zhang Cheng replied.
"The first game," said Lao Liu. "There is a dog owner named Zhuo Wei. I know this man. This is a dog farm, but it is just a small dog farm. But even though his dog farm is not big, cowhide is very good. Guess what his dog is named?"
"I don't know." Zhang Cheng put the mineral water next to his mouth and prepared to drink it.
"His dog is called King of Kings." Old Liu said.
Zhang Cheng didn't breathe and choked on the water.
