Chapter 192: Long experience
Shen Jinglin said this with great pride.
In addition, the boy's voice was childish and unfamiliar, so everyone turned around and looked at him.
"Hey, where did this kid come from? He hasn't even fully grown his hair yet, and he's already joining in the fun." A playboy in a emerald green brocade robe with yellow patterns shook the folding fan in his hand and spoke with a sneer.
"Little brother, do you have money? Do your family members know that you are here to play? I see that you are still breastfeeding, so go home and drink milk as soon as possible!" Another person also laughed.
There is no other reason, it's just that compared with these people, Shen Jinglin is really young.
For a moment, Shen Jinglin's face turned red and he became a little angry.
Yang Jin pulled him back and whispered, "I asked you to come and see first. If you want to play at this place, you have to pay at least 100 taels of silver. Not just any random person can play."
Shen Jinglin looked surprised. He obviously hadn't expected that there would be so much to say about a cricket fight.
But what Yang Jin said was not wrong. He took a glance at the two crickets and the crickets in the hands of several other people nearby, and he could see that they were different from the ordinary stuff that the servants had bought back from outside.
But one hundred taels of silver is indeed not a small amount.
"If you don't have money, get out of here. Come, let me play a round with you!" Another burly man pushed Shen Jinglin away.
After saying this, he slammed the bamboo basket in his hand on the table.
No one else paid attention to Shen Jinglin's movements. They only saw the sturdy man's strong fingers open the lid of the bamboo cage, and a small brown cricket came into view.
Seeing that the man paid one hundred taels of silver as a fee, the onlookers began to place bets.
"Betting is done! Ladies and gentlemen, if you like, you can place your bets!"
Shen Jinglin came back to his senses, his face still flushed. Although other people's attention was no longer on him, the two teasings and ridicules just now still made him feel ashamed.
With the twenty taels of silver he had just won, Shen Jinglin placed his bet again. This time, he followed Yang Jin and the others in buying the Overlord Tiger.
There was no other reason. The goshawk looked too thin and small, and it didn't look like it could win at all.
But precisely because of this, the odds of the Goshawk are extremely high. If you bet on ten taels of silver, you can get fifty taels in one go, which is extremely tempting.
The waiter wrote down the bill, and the two crickets also came down.
Shen Jinglin didn't care about anything else at the moment and squeezed in. Relying on his small stature, his face was squeezed between the arms of several men, occupying a good view.
"start!"
As the gong sounded, the baffle was removed and the two crickets quickly started fighting each other.
"Bite him, bite him! Hit him!"
"Push harder! Push harder!"
The two crickets were fighting each other, one on top of the other, and then they collided head-on, spreading their wings from time to time, and the fight was quite intense.
Contrary to what most people think, although the goshawk is much smaller than the Tyrannosaurus Rex, it is extremely flexible and agile. It dodged fatal blows several times and then turned around and attacked the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
For a while, the two were evenly matched.
The sturdy man spoke in a loud voice and with an excited look on his face: "Bite him, bite him! Win for me, and if you win, I'll give you a snack tonight!"
The teenager was not willing to admit defeat. He held a willow branch and tapped it lightly, whistling from time to time as if to give instructions.
In this round, the stalemate lasted much longer, nearly a cup of tea, and one of the tiger's wings was directly torn off by the goshawk.
The sturdy man laughed loudly: "Great! It's worthy of being a treasure I found with so much effort!"
The teenager was obviously distressed and admitted defeat immediately: "No more fighting, no more fighting, I give up!"
There was a sigh in the crowd, and they were obviously dissatisfied with this. After all, most people bet on this tiger, but there was a rule in the gambling table that if someone's pet was injured, the owner could choose to admit defeat.
"You're such a loser! You only won for three months! You wasted my money!"
"Who said it wasn't? My fifty taels are bad luck!"
"Haha, I just wanted to take a gamble, but I didn't expect to win!"
The group of people were cursing at each other, some were happy and some were sad.
Shen Jinglin felt a little dazed when he saw that the strong man won nearly a thousand taels of silver with just one move.
One thousand taels of silver doesn't sound like a lot, especially for a young man from a noble family like him.
But when the ingots of silver are placed right in front of you, the impact is definitely different.
But at the same time, he also saw the young boy with a sad face, and felt distressed and sad. Even the money he had just won was lost in an instant.
Shen Jinglin swallowed his saliva, feeling extremely excited.
Even though he only lost twenty taels, when he thought of his undefeated God King... he couldn't help but get excited again.
In his opinion, his Undefeated God King was no worse than the two in front of him. If he could win, he would get all the silver he wanted.
Just then, Yang Jin bumped him with his shoulder and said, "How was it? Exciting, right?"
Shen Jinglin's eyes lit up. For a son of an official like him who had been living a life of luxury since childhood and had everything he wanted, this kind of stimulation had a fatal attraction.
What's more, Shen Jinglin is young and is always suppressed by Shen Jingan, so he always wants to prove that he is equally powerful.
"In the next round, is there any young man who wants to challenge Goshawk?" The waiter's voice sounded at the right time.
Shen Jinglin couldn't hold back any longer, while Yang Jin muttered to himself, "It's a pity that I don't have a cricket, otherwise I would really like to try it."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jinglin immediately made up his mind and said loudly: "I'll do it!"
After saying that, he took out his precious cricket under everyone's questioning gaze.
As soon as the Undefeated God King showed up, someone immediately stepped forward and asked, "Hey, he really has it?"
"Who said it wasn't? I didn't expect he actually had some good stuff."
Shen Jinglin felt proud of the flattery from several people, and said, "I am the undefeated God King, and I have no rivals so far!"
"Is it really that powerful?"
"Hehe, this little brother is not very old, but he has a big mouth. Okay, then let us open our eyes today!"
Shen Jinglin was at the age where he learned everything he could, and in a short while, he had learned the tone of those dandy boys perfectly.
"Just wait, I'm going to show you something new today!"
Immediately, as the waiter noted the amount of the bet, the Undefeated God King officially fought against the Goshawk.
The two crickets are somewhat similar, but one is big and the other is small. The goshawk is smaller, but it is indeed extremely agile. After a short while of the opening, the two crickets started fighting fiercely.
"Bite him! Undefeated God King, bite it!" Shen Jinglin was able to remain calm when watching other crickets fighting. But this time it was his turn. He felt the blood rushing up to his head. In just a moment, his face turned red.
"Goshawk, do some honor for me. If you win, I'll give you a treat!" The strong man also refused to admit defeat.
A group of young men in gorgeous clothes surrounded the small stands, extremely angry.
