I Am A Prodigy Chapter 152
Advertisement
Watching helplessly at the side as Ye Lingchen made another big score made Huang Xiaomeng and the rest feel a sharp pain in their hearts.
Once they thought about how they lost everything, that pain grew and it almost made them cry in silence.
This rookie was just too lucky!
"Ye Lingchen, don't stop! Go for the third round. You must ride on the flow of victory!" Huang Xiaomeng said in a hoarse voice through gritted teeth.
"That's right Brother Ye, keep going!"
"Brother Ye, you're amazing. You'll win the next round for sure!"
Leopard and the gang continued to persuade him while the growing jealousy within distorted their faces.
'Lose, he must lose everything!'
RMB2,400,000 was considered a big sum even for them!
"Next, the third round of dogfighting will begin soon!"
Along with the emcee's announcement, the names on the big screen finally settled on Little Mei and Gold Fur.
Little Mei VS Gold Fur.
As the two cages were pushed to the front, not only were the humans cheering, even the dogs in the Dog Fighting Arena turned rowdy.
"Woof woof woof—"
The barks were not stopping, seemingly even more excited than the humans.
"Gold Fur, if you dare touch a hair on Little Mei, I'll beat you to a pulp!"
"Gold Fur, just admit defeat or you'll suffer a horrible death."
"Rooaar! Gold Fur, don't you dare bully Little Mei or you're a b*tch!"
"Do your best Little Mei! Murder Gold Fur! We'll support you!"
…
Ye Lingchen stole a few more glances at Little Mei. She was a Central Asian Shepherd Dog with a white fur coat. Appearance-wise she was similar to most dogs with just a slightly bigger body and better muscle tone.
When compared to other fighting dogs, this type of dog looked way better. In the eyes of the fighting dogs, it was definitely at the level of Helen of Troy. No wonder it was so popular amongst the dogs.

"It's those two dogs!" Leopard sucked in a deep breath, his eyes glowing.
He stealthily stole a glance at Ye Lingchen, then immediately pulled Huang Xiaomeng and the rest aside.
"Xiaomeng, have Ye Lingchen bet on Little Mei. He'll definitely lose everything!" Leopard said maliciously.
"Hm? Why?" Huang Xiaomeng asked out of curiosity.
"Leopard, are you sure?" Snake asked skeptically. "Little Mei's appearance may not seem fierce, but it's a Central Asian Shepherd Dog. Its overall ability is strong, considered the lord of the plains! Although Gold Fur looks strong, it might not be a match for Little Mei."
"Hehe, of course, I know, but that's not all." Leopard started putting on airs and put on a big thoughtful grin. "I've been paying close attention to each fighting dog today. Little Mei's condition is lackluster. Its focus is a little off! I think there's a high chance that it's sick!"
"Is that true?"
They were taken aback, then started scrutinizing Little Mei.
It was fine when Leopard did not warn them. Now that Leopard had mentioned it, they noticed something was off!
Little Mei's gaze was unfocused. Even its howls sounded weak and drained.
"F*ck! If we haven't lost it all, this will be a money-making match!" Someone exclaimed in frustration. "Sigh, what a pity!"
Huang Xiaomeng's eyes were bright. She immediately walked up to Ye Lingchen's side and urgently notified him, "Ye Lingchen, I've got some inside news. Little Mei will win for sure!"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure. I guarantee that's an inside tip. Quickly place your bet!" Huang Xiaomeng almost wanted to place the bet for Ye Lingchen. "Little Mei it is! Since we're pals, I'll treat you well if I win this."
Right then, Little Mei and Gold Fur began conversing with each other on the stage.
Gold Fur, "Little Mei, why don't we put on an act as well? I'll let you win."

Little Mei, "I can't do it. I can't fight."
Gold Fur, "What's wrong?"
Little Mei, "I think I'm pregnant."
Gold Fur, "What?! Is it mine?"
Little Mei, "I don't know. There's a slight chance."
Those words opened a can of worms. All the dogs in the Dog Fighting Arena once again burst out howling.
"Gold Fur, surrender now. Immediately!"
"Gold Fur, just bite yourself, don't force Little Mei to act!"
"It must be my seed! Little Mei, you must take care of the baby!"
"Dogsh*t! It's mine!"
…
Ye Lingchen gave Huang Xiaomeng a carefree smile, "Sure! I'll place everything on Little Mei. Thank you for your insider tip."
"You're welcome. It's my pleasure," Huang Xiaomeng replied.
Seeing Ye Lingchen placing all his bets on Little Mei, the rest of them were flushed with excitement, almost laughing out loud on the spot.
Fortunately, they managed to hold it in with great effort.
At that moment, they looked at Ye Lingchen as though he was an idiot.
'Wahahaja, RMB2,400,000 will be gone soon. Get ready to cry in despair!'
"Why do I feel that you guys are more excited than me?" Ye Lingchen asked out of the blue.
"Brother Ye, you're about to win the bet. We're just happy for you."
Ye Lingchen immediately put on an expression of gratitude. "You are such nice people. Even after losing everything you still try to help me win. When I win this, I'll give you another RMB20!"
Huang Xiaomeng was speechless.
'You still want to win? Dream on!'
Finally, the match began.
Everyone's heart was pumping as the cage was slowly raised, focusing their gaze on the arena.
Unlike the other dogs, Little Mei and Gold Fur did not rush out and attack each other. Instead, they were extremely quiet.
Both dogs were measuring up each other.
Out of a sudden, Gold Fur flipped over to the side and just lay down on the ground, resulting in an arena full of dumbstruck audience.
Thud!
That sound pounded heavily on their hearts, further dazing the already dumbstruck audience.
Gold Fur laid perfectly still on the floor.
Absolute silence!
"F-f-f-f*ck?"
"What...what's going on?"
"What is that? Surrender? Giving up?"
Unexpectedly, the match had ended before it even began.
Huang Xiaomeng was stunned. Leopard was stunned. Everyone in the arena was stunned.
It was then followed by an uproar!
"Treachery! There's treachery involved!"
"That's dogfighting? What joke is this?!"
"Wahahaha, I won! Lalala…"
"This match doesn't count! My money!"
"Bring me that dog, I'm going to butcher it for dinner!"
…
Faced with countless suspicions from the audience, the organizers immediately took action. Their employees quickly went up to investigate the situation.
The result was that Little Mei was pregnant, hence the opponent had surrendered.
Due to the lack of any signs of treachery, the match result was still effective!
"Pregnant? This is just too f*cking nonsensical!" Huang Xiaomeng felt that her worldview had been shaken. "Ye Lingchen won again?!"
"RMB2,400,000 just flipped into RMB4,800,000!" Leopard and the rest were staring their eyes out. 'For him to run into such a situation, this fella's luck is too f*cking unbelievable!'
Ye Lingchen delightfully received the money from the employees, then looked at Huang Xiaomeng with a charming smile on his face, "Oh Xiaomeng, I can't thank you enough. Your insider tip is really accurate! Here's another RMB20, you must take it!"
Huang Xiaomeng went speechless.

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.
