The Ultimate Versatile Soldier King

Chapter 170: Gambling Request


Zuo Dahai continued, "You're right, back then, the big shot in the gambling scene chose to gamble with those Black people because he was interested in the patent rights to their gambling game!"

"As you all know, those Black people generally don't have jobs and live off welfare, and some of the more extreme cases rely on the infant support fund provided by the United States government to survive."

Luo Chao knew that the United States government was different from the Huaxia Country. Huaxia, being a major country in terms of population, didn't have such assistance, whereas the United States, despite its vastness, has a comparatively small population relative to its landmass.

Thus, U.S. families tend to have several children since the government encourages more births to ensure the country always has fresh blood and labor force.

However, the more children a family has, the greater the expenses, and to address this basic reality, the U.S. government introduced an infant support fund.

Moreover, this support fund is quite high, even surpassing the wages of some adults with stable jobs!

In reality, an infant doesn't need as much money unless they're consuming high-end supplements daily; naturally, the surplus funds end up in the parents' pockets.

For this reason, some U.S. families, being lazy and unwilling to work, start having children excessively because each additional child means another share of the infant support fund from the government!

Moreover, this approach is legal, and beyond public disdain, there's virtually no loophole!

Among families that live off raising more children, Black Americans form the majority!

This is also a key reason why the number of Black Americans has far surpassed that of White Americans.

The Black people who invented this interesting gambling game almost all belong to the idle group living off fund assistance and welfare.

Many of these Black people are drug addicts. Being lazy, whenever they have money, they buy drugs, turning to play their invented game only when they're broke.

Therefore, compared to cash, the seemingly intangible patent rights are of little importance to them.

Zuo Dahai continued, "At the time, the gambling big shot gathered all the Black people on that street and proposed to gamble with them using the game they invented, with the stakes being ten thousand US dollars."

"To the gambling big shot, ten thousand US dollars was like one dollar to an ordinary person, insignificant. But to those Black people, splitting ten thousand US dollars meant they could binge on drugs nonstop for seven days and nights."

"Or, some Black individuals, not addicted to drugs, could spend a few hundred dollars downtown for a fling with a White prostitute. You see, even though Black people have dark skin, they strangely prefer White women over Black women."

"So the temptation of ten thousand US dollars is extremely high for these Black people! Had the gambling big shot not come with several tall, strong, armed bodyguards, he might have been robbed of his money before gambling even started!"

Hearing this, Luo Chao couldn't help but nod, thinking that Zuo Dahai made a lot of sense. As the saying goes, intellectuals are no match for soldiers in arguments.

Faced with these individuals who don't play by the rules, if the gambling big shot had his money stolen before the gamble, it would truly be a hopeless situation.

Zuo Dahai continued his narration, "So, those Black people didn't even hesitate and immediately agreed to the gambling request of the big shot."

"In their eyes, the gambling big shot seemed like a fool coming to do charity. They thought to themselves, 'Whatever patent rights, call it whatever you want; cash is what's truly valuable.'

"Moreover, in their perspective, the gambling big shot wanted to gamble using the game they invented, which boosted their confidence even further."

"If the big shot proposed to compete in formal card games, like poker, those not-so-bright Black individuals might have declined because, with their intellect, grasping poker is challenging."

"In summary, once the game commenced, the Black people voted for a few who played this game particularly well as their representatives to face off against the gambling big shot."

"As for the game's outcome, even if I don't say it, you should know who ultimately won, right? Yes, of course, it was the gambling big shot! He easily won the patent rights to the game from them."

"However, when the gambling big shot won, the Black people initially refused to admit defeat, not because they lost the patent rights but because they didn't receive a share of the ten thousand US dollars, which made them furious."

"So, when the big shot presented a contract drawn up by his secretary for signatures, the Black representatives instantly regretted it and even pulled out guns and knives, trying to force the big shot to hand over all his valuables."

"Hold on." Just as Zuo Dahai was about to continue, Luo Chao suddenly interrupted him, "Uncle Zuo..."

Luo Chao had just started saying "Uncle Zuo" but was interrupted by Zuo Dahai instead.

Zuo Dahai said, "Luo, since we're now friends, calling me Uncle Zuo seems a bit formal. How about calling me Brother Zuo instead, making us true friends!"

"Alright." Luo Chao nodded, then continued asking, "Brother Zuo, I'm a bit confused here. You mentioned the gambling big shot came with strong and armed bodyguards. With such protection, could those Black people still dare to act recklessly?"

"Haha, I knew you would ask that." Zuo Dahai laughed shortly before continuing, "You see, people die for money and birds die for food. In the face of easy profits, there will always be someone among them willing to risk everything!"
