Chapter 363: Compete Again

I said: "Of course we have to participate. We want to win money."

I went to find Ma Lie Ren to ask him what kind of crickets to bring tomorrow.

He Zuming said: "Let's go together to look at the crickets."

We quickly went to Ma Lie Ren's room; Ma Lie Ren was training crickets in the room.

Seeing me come in, he hurriedly stood up,

"Zhao Laoban, what's the matter? You speak."

"Brother Ma, you don't need to be so polite. We can be more casual,

"I'm going to participate in the competition tomorrow and want to bring a few crickets. Please arrange what kind of crickets for me."

I took out a cigarette to give Ma Lie Ren.

Ma Lie Ren said: "Zhao Laoban, crickets fear smoke. Let's smoke outside."

"Good. We then left the room together and arrived at a small study in the villa.

I then lit the cigarette,

"Brother Ma, tomorrow we want to use crickets to win some money. What kind of crickets do you think should compete?"

He Zuming also laughed and said: "Old Ma, your spring is really awesome; it directly knocked over Joe Three's bomber."

"What other good crickets do you have? Bring them out; we'll go win some money tomorrow."

Ma Lie Ren took a puff of smoke at this moment,

"Mr. He, everyone wants to win cricket fights. But no one dares to guarantee their cricket will win 100%. To win cricket fights, you need some methods.

"For example, that bomber can fly; if we use crickets that can jump, we can win.

"Every cricket has its strengths and also its weaknesses.

"Some are good at biting, some at headbutting, some at clawing,

"We need to release crickets according to their own characteristics to match them in competition.

"Only then will the probability of winning be greater."

After Ma Lie Ren finished speaking,

I then said: "Brother Ma, I understand what you mean.

"In cricket fighting, we first need to send out a cricket to test the arena, see what moves the opponent's cricket has, then based on that move send out another cricket to fight, right?"

"Zhao Laoban, that's exactly what I meant," Ma Lie Ren said.

He Zuming said: "For tomorrow's match, we really can't bring Old Ma to the site to have a look. Otherwise, we also know which cricket to use for the match."

I said: "I'll bring someone; Qiu Xi won't speak, right?"

He Zuming said: "You and Qiu Xi have drunk together; your relationship is solid. If you bring someone, they definitely won't say anything."

I nodded and said to Ma Lie Ren: "Brother Ma, tomorrow you come with us to have a look; go to the site to observe. Then bring a few more crickets. We'll win some money from there and come back."

"Okay, Zhao Laoban, tomorrow I'll prepare a few more insects; then you just need to follow my arrangements," Ma Lie Ren said confidently.

I then asked He Zuming: "I don't know if Qiao San will participate."

"He should participate. He never misses a match. I'm a bit worried; I'm really afraid of running into him." He Zuming said.

"Mr. He, you don't need to worry; meeting him would be great, we want to win money from him. The more we fear him, the more arrogant he becomes.

"To deal with such a person, there's only one way: thoroughly cripple him.

"Let him know from the heart that we are formidable; we don't need to fear him. If he dares to cause trouble, I'll still dare to hit him. Let him know how formidable we are." I said fiercely.

"Since Jianqiang, you say that, then I feel assured. Well, then let's fight Qiao San again." He Zuming said.

Time quickly came to the next day; I drove, bringing He Zuming and Ma Lie Ren together to Yangquan Hutong to participate in the cricket fighting competition.

On the streets outside Yangquan Hutong, many luxury cars were parked again.

I casually found a spot and parked the car.

We walked into the alley,

Upon entering the courtyard gate, Xiao Yan clasped his hands and said to me: "Mr. Zhao, Mr. He, you two have come. Please come inside."

I said to Xiao Yan: "Xiao Yan, I'm bringing a guest over to participate in the cricket fighting competition together. Please inform Mr. Qiu."

Xiao Yan said: "Mr. Zhao, according to the regulations, only people who are familiar may participate. If you bring someone in, you must obtain Mr. Qiu's consent."

At this moment I quickly took out several hundred dollars,

"Xiao Yan, thank you for the trouble."

"Mr. Zhao, this is really unnecessary."

"It's just a small token, some tea money."

After saying that, I stuffed the money into Xiao Yan's pocket.

Xiao Yan then hurriedly ran to the second courtyard to inform Qiu Xi.

Not long after, Xiao Yan ran back,

"Mr. Zhao, our Mr. Qiu said that if it's someone else, they definitely wouldn't be allowed, but you, Zhao Laoban, must be given this face. Please come inside."

I then quickly brought Ma Lie Ren and He Zuming into the warm pavilion.

Inside the warm pavilion there were many people chatting; as soon as they saw me come in, all eyes turned to me. Because last time I fought Qiao San, it was Wen Han who spoke up for me. I was fine.

That shows I'm not an ordinary person.

Fighting Qiao San, daring to oppose Li Tian—those are all awesome individuals.

I paid no attention to them and walked straight into the room.

Qiu Xi saw me come in, clasped his hands and said: "Younger Brother Zhao has come; alas, I've been missing you."

I said: "Let Brother Qiu's nagging be; well, I'm here to participate in the competition. Brother Qiu, I've brought a friend today who wants to gain experience."

I pointed at Ma Lie Ren and said.

Qiu Xi glanced at the horse hunter's attire and gaze,

The horse hunter looked like a rustic farmer.

He simply wasn't in Qiu Xi's eyes.

Then he whispered to me, "Zhao Laodi, what kind of person is this? He couldn't be a vegetable vendor from your market, could he?"

I laughed and said, "My elder brother from home, he's also into this, always begging me to show him the world."

So I brought him here to gain some experience."

"Fine, as long as he's your friend, Zhao Laodi, I won't ask further." Qiu Xi clasped his hands.

I said, "Brother Qiu, I still need your help—I've brought the 5 million, please give it to Qiao San later for his medical expenses."

"Zhao Laodi, you keep your word, good brother—I'll take care of this for you."

"Give the money to Xiao Yan. I'll wait for Qiao San to arrive and let him know." Qiu Xi said.

I then called Xiao Yan out, telling him to go fetch the bags from the car.

At that moment, Hongguo Li came over,

He clasped his hands and said, "Mr. Zhao, today are you bringing your own crickets, or picking them from us? We've just received a new batch of top-quality crickets."

I laughed and said, "Mr. Li, I brought my own crickets. If I lose, I'll pick two more from you."

Hongguo Li said, "Mr. Zhao, you may not know this, but if you don't select crickets from us, we don't allow customers to bring their own crickets."

"Last time, you bought the Aconite General, which let you bring in the spring."

"You have no crickets here, so it wouldn't be proper to bring crickets inside; you just need to buy one."

I was about to say something when the horse hunter leaned over and whispered in my ear,

"\"Zhao Laoban, just buy one and let it lead the charge. Test the field. \""

I nodded,

smiling at Hongguo Li, I said, "Mr. Li, this is bundled sales, much like a mobile company. Fine, I'll just buy one at random."

"All right, Mr. Zhao, thanks for patronizing our business. May you win today." After saying that, Hongguo Li took out a red cricket from the house.

He gave it a glance for me to see,

"\"Mr. Zhao, this cricket is called Red Arrow; it will guarantee you a big win. \""

I signaled Hongguo Li to hand it to the horse hunter.

The horse hunter took a look and then placed it into the jar.
