“Bet? What’s the bet?” Henry turned around and looked at Alsop. He could hear the confidence in Alsop’s tone.
Although Henry did not know why Alsop was so sure that Li Zhuo could learn it, Henry also had his own confidence.
He firmly believed that the potions that he had worked day and night to create and experienced countless failures were all proof of his hard work.
There were no shortcuts in science!
However, Alsop seemed to want to challenge Henry’s confidence. She smiled and said, “I’ll bet on whether he can learn your pharmaceutical technology.”
“If he learns it, you’ll be my subordinate for three days.”
“What if he doesn’t learn it?” Henry raised his eyebrows.
Alsop showed a charming smile. “If he doesn’t learn it, I’ll do whatever you want me to do.”
“Interesting.” Henry also smiled. “Just you wait, I’ll win for sure!”
After that, he looked at the others. “What about you guys, do you want to join the bet?”
Putnam shook his head silently. He could not decide yet. He had not seen Li Zhuo’s learning ability with his own eyes, so he would not place a bet easily.
However, he had seen Li Zhuo’s analytical ability with his own eyes. Therefore, in his heart, he was actually more optimistic about Li Zhuo. However, he still needed to wait for a key factor before deciding whether to place a bet or not.
Carl, who was holding a lollipop in his mouth, smiled and said, “I bet on Henry to win.”
Alsop smiled slightly as if she did not intend to persuade Carl to change his mind. After all, the more people who bet on Henry to win, the more ‘underlings’ she would be able to reap.
Although it was temporary, it was still quite fun.
However, Alan said with some dissatisfaction, “Hey, hey, it’s fine that Henry doesn’t know the situation, but why do you think that Li can’t learn Henry’s pharmaceutical technology?”
Carl raised his hand to take out the lollipop from his mouth and grinned. “I think your lockpicking technology is too simple. It’s normal that you can learn it.”
“However, pharmaceutical technology is different. This is a very complicated technology.
“Just like my hacking skills, I don’t think Li can easily learn my skills.”
“You dare to say that my lockpicking skills are simple?!” Alan glared at Carl.
Alan looked at Alsop and said, “I’m on Alsop’s side. I think Li Zhuo can learn it!”
After saying that, Alan looked at Armstrong and asked, “what about You?”
Everyone looked at Armstrong. Armstrong thought about it seriously and said, “Then I’ll bet on Henry. I don’t think it will be that easy.”
Hearing this, Carl and Henry’s expressions obviously became ugly. Alan and Alsop were obviously relieved.
At this moment, Putnam, who had been silent all this time, finally smiled and said, “I bet on Alsop.”
“Why?” Armstrong looked at Putnam curiously.
After all, everyone had their reasons and opinions. Only Putnam seemed to have just made a decision.
Putnam smiled. “That’s because you bet on Henry to win, so I think Henry will definitely lose.”
“Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by this!” Armstrong’s eyes widened, and he was a little unconvinced.
“To be honest, I’m a little regretful too. Is it too late to switch sides now?” Carl said with a frown.
“Hey, hey, hey, I’m the world’s top gambling master! You guys actually don’t believe me! You’ve hurt me!” Armstrong was very upset.
However, at this time, Henry raised his hand with some hesitation. “I suddenly feel that it’s not impossible for Li to learn my pharmaceutical technology. Is there still time for me to bet on myself to lose…?”
“…” Armstrong looked at Henry’s regretful look, and his teeth were about to break.
Do you really not believe in the abilities of a gambling master?!
Please show some respect to my profession!!
…
After the six of them finished their breakfast, they immediately went to the recreation room.
At this moment, Li Zhuo was sitting on the sofa playing a game on the console.
As everyone had hidden their footsteps, Li Zhuo did not notice them. Looking at the screen in front of him, Li Zhuo quickly operated the controller and attacked again and again.
Suddenly, a large ‘Danger’ word appeared above the head of the game character controlled by Li Zhuo.
Seeing this scene, Alsop’s heart subconsciously tightened.
She had played this game many times before. Every time a ‘Danger’ appeared above the head of a character, she should immediately dodge it because this meant that the enemy would launch a powerful attack. This was the game’s warning mechanism.
However, the reaction time left for the player to dodge was not long.
Only those who had experienced this game knew how difficult it was.
However, in the next moment, Alsop’s eyes widened. She clearly saw that Li Zhuo easily dodged the fatal blow.
After avoiding the fatal blow, the main character on the screen once again launched the next round of attacks on the enemy.
After a dozen seconds, the ‘Danger’ symbol appeared above the character’s head again. Alsop’s heart subconsciously tightened again, as if the fear that had been carved into her DNA was once again triggered.
However, Li Zhuo once again controlled the character in his hand in time and calmly jumped up. He then stepped on the head of the charging enemy and perfectly avoided this attack.
Similar scenes played out one after another.
‘Danger’ warnings kept appearing above the character’s head, but Li Zhuo successfully dodged each and every one of them and successfully counterattacked.
Ten minutes later, the long blade in the game character’s hand swung out, completely wiping out the enemy’s final HP.
This round was over.
Alsop only realized now that she was actually somewhat engrossed in watching Li Zhuo playing the video game.
At this moment, she glanced at the corner of the screen and realized that up until now, the HP of Li Zhuo’s character was still 100%.
From the beginning to the end, he had not suffered a single blow!
At this moment, Li Zhuo put down the controller in his hand and stood up, intending to go to the fridge to get a glass of water to drink.
Only then did he realize that there was actually a large group of people standing behind him. Moreover, everyone was staring at him with strange expressions.
“You guys… What’s the matter?” Li Zhuo looked at everyone and asked.
At this time, Alsop had completely forgotten about the bet. She grabbed Li Zhuo’s shoulder with an excited expression and said, “Oh my god, you’re simply a monster. How on Earth did you do it!?”
“I have to die more than a hundred times in every level of this game!”
“How can you accurately dodge every attack of the enemy? This doesn’t make sense!!”
Embarrassed, Li Zhuo struggled free from Alsop’s hands. He rubbed his aching arm and muttered, “we just need to remember the rhythm of each enemy’s attack and the corresponding dodging method, isn’t that enough? Is it very difficult?”
“…” Alsop opened her mouth, but she did not say a word.
This was the most difficult game in the world, and you actually said that it was very simple?!
“Ahem.” Henry was not interested in games, so he did not have too many emotions. He looked at Li Zhuo and went straight to the point. “Li, are you interested in learning pharmaceutical technology from me? Although it’s very difficult, they all said that you can learn it, and I think…”
Before Henry could finish his words, Li Zhuo shook his head calmly and said, “I’m not interested.”
“…”
Hey, hey, hey, how can we gamble with you like this!?
