Chapter 601: Tenfold Return, Making a Fortune?
Chapter 601: Chapter 601: Tenfold Return, Making a Fortune?"Goddess, everyone online is talking about you participating in the Imperial University PK Competition. Are you really ready?"
Lin Sizhe, on behalf of the classmates, approached Shi Yaoguang, his face showing obvious distress.
After all, having undergone military training together, Lin Sizhe and his peers were all quite worried about Shi Yaoguang.
Generally speaking, besides the very top group in the PK Competition,
...it’s just...
an even match.
In other words, except for the few at the peak with particularly astounding works, the rest are just there for the excitement.
In Lin Sizhe’s opinion, Shi Yaoguang was likely among those at the bottom.
It’s not that Lin Sizhe looked down on people.
It’s what everyone usually thinks.
Shi Yaoguang indeed had entered Emperor University with the highest score in the national college entrance exam, but she hadn’t been studying at the school for a long time.
She was constantly on the move filming movies.
In such a situation, how could she possibly produce any amazing work?
And yet, now the internet was buzzing with hot discussions, claiming Shi Yaoguang was a genius, way more talented than Ling Qingxue, not only surpassing Ling Qingxue in beauty, but talent as well by a long shot.
That’s right.
The news on the internet was all about Shi Yaoguang stepping on Ling Qingxue.
Beauty suppression.
Intelligence suppression.
Body suppression.
All in all, simply overwhelming.
Outsiders can’t see the whole picture, and seeing all this, they’d only think it was Shi Yaoguang’s doing.
Shi Yaoguang had hired an internet army to step on Ling Qingxue to rise up.
But anyone with a brain could see that this was clearly a setup.
And the person who bought this trending
You wouldn’t know if you didn’t watch, but it was quite a shock once you did.
In the video, Shi Yaoguang really did say those words.
Someone even asked her why she only guaranteed the top three spots.
Shi Yaoguang’s answer was...
She only registered for three subjects.
Listen to that.
How arrogant the statement was.
Many people got pretty heated up.
"Shi Yaoguang really knows how to blow her own trumpet."
"Tsk, I’ve never seen such shameless boasting."
"When does the PK Competition start? I want to see someone get their face slapped."
"Don’t rush, folks, the PK Competition will start on time! Let’s start a betting game here, betting on whether Shi Yaoguang will win a prize or not."
"Do we even need to bet? Shi Yaoguang definitely won’t win a prize."
"Quick, quick, quick, put up the odds, I’m going to make you go bankrupt!"
"Come on, count me in!"
The comments on Weibo directly turned into a betting game.
There were indeed people betting that Shi Yaoguang would keep her word and take one of the top three spots, but they were few.
Most people were making snide remarks.
"Shi Yaoguang’s definitely just bragging for attention—who doesn’t know how to do that?"
"I think she’s definitely going to lose."
"Zhuang Family, please set the odds clearly."
"We’re going to make a killing..."
These were comments below the betting game.
However...
When it came to actually placing bets, it was a whole different scene.
Despite the many comments that were denigrating Shi Yaoguang,
when it really came to placing bets, those gambling on Shi Yaoguang keeping her word and securing a top-three finish far outnumbered the other options.
This stunned everybody.
Especially the Zhuang Family, who had set the odds at ten to one for Shi Yaoguang keeping her word, they were flabbergasted on the spot.
"What’s going on with you guys? Didn’t you say you didn’t believe in Shi Yaoguang? If you don’t believe in her, then why place bets on her?"
"Not believing is one thing, betting according to the odds is another."
"Exactly, exactly, we’re only betting on this because of the high odds, it’s definitely not because we have confidence in Shi Yaoguang."
"Relax, there’s no way Shi Yaoguang can do it."
The Zhuang Family wasn’t comforted by these words.
If they truly didn’t think highly of Shi Yaoguang, they wouldn’t have placed their bets on her. Since they chose her, it meant they all actually thought highly of Shi Yaoguang, and this realization nearly brought the Zhuang Family to tears.
