301: Chapter 31 Standing Out

Only Mei Jinning spoke up once, "The competition isn't over yet, it's too early for you to say that."

As soon as she finished speaking, the contestant she chose was forced to a stop midway by the contestant Shen Yan chose.

"Pfft!"

Xia Tiantian mocked, "That backfired pretty quickly."

Mei Jinning shrugged, sticking to her previous statement.

"The competition isn't over, and who will take first place is still unknown."

Seeing that she wouldn't back down, Xia Tiantian let out a snort and said nothing more.

The mountain road was just as dangerous on the way down as it was on the way up.

The contestant Shen Yan chose was currently at full throttle, speeding toward the contestant Chen Wu chose.

Just as they were locked in a fierce, unyielding struggle, it suddenly began to rain.

"Rumble!"

The rain came down fast and heavy.

Before long,

The heavy rain had swept across the entire mountain.

Looking at the electronic screen whose signal was starting to become unstable, Xia Tiantian impatiently pressed a button next to the table and asked the boss who rushed over, "Is your signal reliable or not? It's making this whole viewing experience awful!"

The boss bowed apologetically and replied, "I'm truly sorry, due to certain factors, the nearby signal towers aren't very good, and we are using wireless internet, so..."

Xia Tiantian waved his hand dismissively.

"I don't need your apology; I need a solution!"

The boss was speechless.

To solve the poor signal issue, the rain would have to stop quickly.

But the problem was, if he had the ability to make the weather better, would he be managing a small casino here?

Of course, he couldn't say this out loud to Xia Tiantian.

"I am truly sorry, I will have my staff adjust the equipment as soon as possible!"

Xia Tiantian rolled his eyes impatiently but remained silent.

The boss didn't dare provoke him further at this moment.

He walked out of the private room and instructed his Employee to debug the equipment.

Although the image on the electronic screen was occasionally obscured or flickering, everyone involuntarily focused all their attention on it, eager to see which contestant would ultimately claim the first-place throne.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

Despite the heavy rain, the two race cars captured by the camera did not slow down.

They raced at high speed through the downpour as if they didn't care about their lives, splashing up considerable puddles.

"Hey! Only these two cars still have a chance to win. How about we place a bet?"

After hearing Xia Tiantian, Gu Hui was the first to speak up.

"Then I choose Chen Wu! Although President Shen has the beginner's halo, President Chen's Koi physique is no joke."

Xia Tiantian thought the same as Gu Hui, raising his hand, "I also choose Chen Wu!"

Ren Ling didn't speak, but he patted Chen Wu with the hand that wasn't holding his phone.

Clearly, he, like the other two, believed Chen Wu would win.

Just when Shen Yan thought no one would choose him, Mei Jinning spoke.

"Since you all chose Chen Wu, then I'll choose Shen Yan."

At these words, everyone's gaze instantly fell upon Mei Jinning.

Seeing them all look at her, Mei Jinning raised her eyebrows, "What? Is there a problem?"

Xia Tiantian shook his head.

"No problem, but Chen Wu has the Koi physique, and the one he chose..."

Before he could finish, Mei Jinning spoke again.

"Since this is a game, let's add some stakes to spice it up. I'll bet five million that Shen Yan will win."

As her voice fell, the others exchanged glances.

Not long after, Gu Hui chimed in cooperatively, "Since that's the case, I'll also add some stakes. I'll bet five million that Chen Wu wins."

The others who had chosen Chen Wu did the same, each betting five million on Chen Wu.

Shen Yan had no strong feelings about this.

Because he didn't have to put up any money.

While they were talking, the race entered its final stage.

At this moment, the racer chosen by Shen Yan and the racer chosen by Chen Wu were already very close to each other.

One accelerated to shake off the competitor behind, and the other accelerated to catch up to the competitor ahead.

Seeing the two race cars speeding recklessly,

The atmosphere in the private room ignited.

"Go! Go!"

"We're almost at the finish line, go full speed and shake him off!"

Xia Tiantian shouted excitedly while pulling Gu Hui to cheer on the contestant chosen by Chen Wu on the electronic screen.

Another minute passed.

The contestant chosen by Shen Yan had already caught up to the contestant chosen by Chen Wu.

The two were now racing side-by-side on the mountain road, interfering with each other.

During a turn, a medium-sized puddle caused the wheels of both race cars to lose traction, sending them careening toward the steep mountain wall.

"Screech... Bang!"

The blue race car, going too fast, couldn't brake, and with poor steering control, it slammed directly into the mountain wall.

Meanwhile, the white race car had escaped the danger and quickly disappeared down the road ahead.

Looking at the silent blue race car, everyone in the private room knew the outcome was decided.

Xia Tiantian was speechless for a few seconds before muttering, "Damn! Is this beginner's halo really that terrifying? It actually nullified Brother Chen's Koi physique!"

Gu Hui was not as surprised as Xia Tiantian.

After all, having lived for over fifty years, he couldn't let his emotions run wild.

"President Shen, I must say, you truly have excellent judgment and great luck."

Shen Yan just smiled faintly at Gu Hui's compliment.

Mei Jinning was less polite. She crossed her right leg over her left, unceremoniously extended her hand toward everyone, and said, "Time to pay up!"

The competition concluded.

The person who won first place was, without a doubt, the racer chosen by Shen Yan.

When Shen Yan received chips worth several times his initial bet, his first thought was, "Can I give some of this to that contestant?"

Hearing Shen Yan's question, the boss looked at him with some surprise.

Then, he replied to Shen Yan, "Of course, we have no taboos here. How much do you wish to reward that contestant?"

Shen Yan hesitated for a moment, then allocated one-third of the chips he won.

"Just this amount."

The boss had seen bosses toss around billions in a single night at the casino, but he had never seen one give away one-third of his winnings to a contestant.

To ensure the boss wasn't making this decision impulsively, he cautiously asked again.

"Sir... Boss, are you sure you want to reward this much?"

Shen Yan nodded without hesitation.

This money was ultimately won for him by the contestant.

He didn't feel there was anything improper about giving one-third of the winnings to the contestant.

Once confirmed again, the boss said nothing more and immediately took the one-third portion of the chips to handle the transaction.
