96: Did they foresee the grape buds winning the championship?

Chen Kai immediately pulled his hand out from under Liu Yunshang's head, rolled over, and pretended to look at his phone.

He opened the Intelligence System and quietly checked the intelligence for today.

【Today's Intermediate Intelligence refreshed: At 7 PM tonight, the European Cup final will be decided. Portugal will win the European Cup championship. All jerseys from the Cristiano Ronaldo signature series will see a surge in price. Suggested selling price: 150,000 yuan.】

Chen Kai was stunned. Today's intelligence... was pretty impressive.

It looked like one piece of intelligence, but it was actually two! Knowing that Portugal would win meant he could go buy the Football Lottery, right?

Some master once said that going all-in is a form of wisdom!

Applause for those who understand!

He immediately opened his phone to check the odds for Portugal against France. The multiplier was actually three to one, meaning for every one yuan bet, you win three.

【Friendly reminder: Host, do not bet more than 100,000 on the Football Lottery. It is possible that it may alter the outcome of the battle...】

The system seemed to have insight into Chen Kai's heart and immediately sent a reminder.

Chen Kai was stunned. Could it be that the rumors online about betting amounts affecting the outcome were true?

There's a dark side to this? And here he thought he could just go all-in and triple his net worth from 1.22 million.

Forget it... better to heed the advice. Going all-in makes it easy to be manipulated by capital.

He shook his head, and just as he wanted to set an alarm and fall into a deep sleep, Liu Yunshang suddenly grabbed his arm, "Brother... hug."

...

...

The next morning, Chen Kai got up and rubbed his sore lower back, then went to the living room and sat on the sofa to light a cigarette.

"Click."

After finishing the cigarette, Liu Yunshang's lazy, imperial-sister-style voice drifted from the bedroom, "Brother~ I've woken up, I want a hug!"

Chen Kai crushed the cigarette in the ashtray, walked quickly to the bedroom, and sat on the bed to hug the slightly disheveled Liu Yunshang.

Liu Yunshang buried her little head in Chen Kai's chest, lazily acting spoiled.

"Brother, what are we doing today? I can still keep you company for one more day~ Tomorrow I have to start preparing for the Appraisal Contest held by the Antique Circle in a while."

Chen Kai frowned and thought for a moment, "Then... shall we stay home and watch the game? I really want to buy a ticket for the final."

"Alright, then I'll prepare some snacks for watching the game for you!"

"...That's not necessary, right?"

Chen Kai felt a sense of the spirit being willing but the flesh being weak; since meeting Liu Yunshang, his weight had clearly dropped.

"No! You must have them!"

Liu Yunshang burrowed into his arms and lazily stretched, only then getting out of bed.

"Then let's go out and buy a lottery ticket! Buying lottery tickets with Brother last time was so exciting!"

"Okay, but no going all-in. Just playing for fun is enough."

Chen Kai earnestly advised her. According to the system's hint, each person could only buy 50,000.

Earning 100,000 per person was good enough.

While she was changing clothes, Chen Kai hurriedly opened Idle Fish to check the latest quotes.

[CR7: Brother, let me have this jersey for 49,800. I'll pick it up myself, just leave me 200 for cab fare.]

[Can you? Maybe if Portugal loses tonight, it won't be worth this price anymore. Sell it to me.]

Chen Kai felt a tightness in his chest and hurriedly took the item off the shelf.

This person had been making offers for three consecutive days, all of which he had rejected, raising the price from 42,000 all the way to 49,800.

If he didn't take it down, it would definitely be bought by tomorrow morning! That would be a huge loss.

He thought for a moment and relisted the Real Madrid Cristiano Ronaldo jersey on Idle Fish for 150,000.

Turning his head, Liu Yunshang had already changed her clothes. A miniskirt paired with black silk stockings on her legs—her legs were already very well-shaped, and with the black silk...

Hard control for leg lovers for two and a half years!

"Let's go!"

The two went downstairs together and walked towards the lottery shop where they had bought scratch tickets last time.

As soon as they pushed the door open, the Lottery Shop Owner greeted them enthusiastically.

"Brother, our shop has two new types of scratch tickets! Everyone says the payout rate is super high. Since your luck is so good, do you want to try?"

Chen Kai smiled and shook his head, patting Liu Yunshang's eager little hand.

"We're not buying scratch tickets this time, let's buy the Football Lottery for the European Cup."

"This... that works too..."

The Lottery Shop Owner showed a slightly disappointed smile. It was said that every book of the newly arrived lottery tickets contained a big prize of several hundred or thousand yuan.

If Chen Kai scratched half a book and didn't get anything, he had been hoping to scratch the remaining half himself.

The owner hurriedly scanned the Counter and returned to the ticket machine.

"Today is the European Cup final, France against Portugal. I suggest buying France; a lot of people are buying France."

"It's just that the odds are a bit low, 1.5 to 3.1."

Liu Yunshang scratched her head in confusion, leaning next to Chen Kai, "Brother, which team do you think will win?"

"I think Portugal will win. Do you want to play too, Sis?"

"Then Sis trusts you!"

Liu Yunshang looked at the odds. Although she didn't understand much, she understood the principle that whichever side had lower odds had a higher winning probability.

However, she still chose to trust Brother's judgment. Every time, Chen Kai could give her different surprises.

Chen Kai revealed a smile, "Then let's go with Portugal to win, including 120 minutes and penalties. 50,000 for each of us."

The Lottery Shop Owner was stunned—a big client!

"Are you sure, Brother? The winning probability for France is a bit higher..."

"It's not that I'm meddlesome; you two are both big clients in my shop, so I'm just giving a reminder. If you think I'm being long-winded, please don't take it to heart."

Chen Kai nodded, "I'm sure. Print the tickets."

"Alright."

The Lottery Shop Owner pressed a few keys next to the ticket machine, and soon the machine slowly spat out two red and white lottery tickets.

"Beep! Payment of 100,000 yuan received!"

Liu Yunshang paid the money before him, smiling as she took the two tickets and looked at them carefully. She tucked one into her own pocket and stuffed the other into Chen Kai's pocket.

"Sis, what are you doing?"

"Paying, of course. Maybe you can lead Sis to make a big profit."

Liu Yunshang said indifferently. Even if they lost, it didn't matter; it was only 100,000 yuan. If they lost, they lost. The important thing was participating.

Originally, various lotteries had dark sides, unlike looking at antiques. Brother couldn't guarantee everything was correct either, but she had already recognized Chen Kai's eye for things.

Her jade-like hand pulled his, and the two walked home together.

...

At 7 PM, the match started on time. Chen Kai sat on the sofa with the game playing on the TV, looking down at his phone, checking if the Cristiano Ronaldo jersey had any trend of rising in price ahead of time.

"Hmm? Why is the signed jersey for France's supercar constantly skyrocketing?"

"It seems like this group of people is about to predict wrong."

In the kitchen, Liu Yunshang couldn't wait to bring out a large plate of small snacks: chicken wings, beef jerky, pineapple...

"Brother, eat more."

Liu Yunshang cast a smiling look at him.
