Super Rich by Doing as You Please

’So frustrating. I was so close.’

But he quickly composed himself.

’Even though Ruan Qingnian’s horse won, his friend’s horse—the one he spent ten million on—didn’t.’

’Compared to ten million, my own five hundred thousand is nothing!’

At this thought, he immediately went over to Xu Yun to stir up trouble.

"Oh dear, ten million, gone just like that."

Li Ming said sarcastically, "Young Master Ruan, you’d better go comfort your friend. Hahaha."

Ruan Qingnian was speechless.

Xu Yun looked at him and said dismissively, "It was only ten million. Look how smug you are. Anyone who didn’t know better would think I’d lost a hundred million."

"Cut the act, buddy."

Li Ming laughed. "Your heart must be bleeding right now."

Suddenly, a voice sounded in Xu Yun’s ear.

[Detected rise in Host’s anger levels. Desire for a face-slapping is extremely strong. To fulfill the Host’s wish to Do as You Please, the system can, based on the current situation, offer the results of the remaining two races for purchase. Price: 50 million per race.]

[Does the Host wish to purchase?]

’Buy both for me!’

[Congratulations, Host. Purchase successful. 100 million has been deducted. Bank card balance: 13 million.]

In an instant, the answers appeared in Xu Yun’s mind.

"In a little while, you won’t be laughing anymore."

Xu Yun sneered at Li Ming, then turned to a staff member and asked, "How many races are left?"

"Mr. Xu, there are two races left."

"Good. Help me place bets for both of them."

Xu Yun handed his card to the staffer and said, "For the first race, I’m betting on number 6 to win. For the second, number 11 to win. Ten million on each, just like before."

"Brother Xu, don’t be rash."

Hearing this, Ruan Qingnian immediately tried to dissuade him. "Don’t let Li the Second get to you. It’s not worth it."

"That’s right, President Xu. Maybe you should just let it go. It’s not worth it." Lin Wanzhou and Yu Jiale also chimed in, afraid he was on tilt.

’He just lost ten million. If he loses another twenty, that’s thirty million!’

Even though it was Xu Yun’s money, it pained them to watch.

"It’s fine. If I lose, I lose. It’s only thirty million."

Xu Yun waved his hand and smiled. "Don’t try to stop me. I’ll just consider it a contribution to the people of Hong Kong Island."

Everyone was speechless.

In the next box, Li Ming was truly shocked to see Xu Yun about to buy another twenty million in betting slips.

’Damn, this guy really is loaded!’

But more than that, he was ecstatic.

’Because the guy is on tilt!’

He was already imagining the look on their faces when they lost again. ’It’s going to be a great show.’

In reality, however, Xu Yun had this in the bag.

Soon, at Xu Yun’s insistence, the staff member helped him place the bets on the two horses.

Because of the successive large-value bets, his actions had already attracted the attention of two top bigwigs at the racetrack, both of whom cast their gazes toward his private box.

The staff member also immediately and discreetly passed some of Xu Yun’s information up to the company’s senior management.

Many sharp-eyed people buying betting slips in the main hall also noticed this on the information board and were slightly surprised.

’Which tycoon is here for some high-stakes gambling now?’

Some novices who didn’t know better hesitated for a moment, then simply decided to follow his bet.

A horse that wasn’t a favorite to win was suddenly a top-three contender!

Bets were locked. After all wagers were placed, the final two races began.

First was the eighth race.

In a surprising turn of events, Xu Yun’s horse, number 6, fell to last place. It looked hopeless, a certain loss.

But as the race passed the halfway mark, it suddenly surged forward, miraculously overtaking all the other horses one by one to sprint for the win!

"AAAAAH! It won! It won!"

Seeing this, Yu Jiale, Ruan Qingnian, and the woman beside him were even happier than if they had won themselves, shouting excitedly right where they stood.

Based on the odds, Xu Yun had just won 110 million!

Lin Wanzhou couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath!

’Holy shit, that money came in fast!’

’Just a moment ago, he’d lost ten million, and in the blink of an eye, he’s earned 110 million back!’

On the adjacent terrace, Li Ming watched the result, his face turning green with rage!

’What kind of insane luck is that?!’

’He actually guessed right and turned the tables!’

’110 million!’

The thought alone made him want to cough up blood. He slumped into the chair behind him.

People in the other VIP rooms on-site all cast envious glances in their direction.

In the racetrack’s management conference room, a certain bigwig was so angry he smashed his cup, roaring at a subordinate, "How did you let number 6 win? Wasn’t it arranged for it to take second place?"

"I don’t know why, but horse number 9 slowed down before the finish line."

...

Back in Xu Yun’s private box, he calmed everyone’s excitement.

’I’ve only just broken even,’ he thought.

"Calm down, calm down."

He smiled. "Don’t get too excited yet. There’s still one more race."

"It doesn’t matter if we watch the last one or not."

Ruan Qingnian laughed. "So what if you lose? It’s a mere ten million."

"Right. Even if you lose, President Xu, you’ll still have made tens of millions."

Yu Jiale said with envy, "President Xu, your luck is just too good. If I’d known, I would have followed you and bet a few hundred thousand on it."

"You still have a chance."

Xu Yun said, "Isn’t there one more race? You can follow my bet."

"Uh, never mind."

The moment Xu Yun suggested he bet, Yu Jiale lost his nerve. He didn’t dare, saying awkwardly, "I’m not like you, President Xu, daring to gamble so heavily. If I lost, this whole year’s work would be for nothing."

"Old Lin, my luck is hot right now. You’re not going to bet a little?"

"I don’t have that much money on me."

Xu Yun said, "That’s fine. I’ll lend you some."

"Alright then, I’ll bet 50,000."

Xu Yun then looked at Young Master Ruan and his female companion. "What about you two? Are you betting?"

Ruan Qingnian replied, "I’ve already won once today, so my luck is probably all used up. I’m not betting."

"Then..."

Young Master Ruan’s companion hesitated for a moment, then said, "I’ll bet 20,000."

So, with the help of the staff member, Lin Wanzhou and the woman placed their bets.

Soon, the final race of the day began.

This time was different from the last race.

The horse Xu Yun bet on, number 11, showed impressive strength from the start, consistently staying in the top three and switching between first, second, and third place.

Until the very end, no one knew which of the three horses would take the crown!

Compared to the last race, everyone was much calmer this time. Only the woman who had bet 20,000 was nervous, constantly cheering for number 11!

During the final sprint, under everyone’s disbelieving gazes, the horse Xu Yun had bet on, number 11, once again crossed the finish line first.

First place!

In that moment, it was as if the entire racetrack had frozen.

Because Xu Yun had won again!

Based on the current odds, he won another 110 million in prize money!

This time, whether it was the people around him, the people down on the grounds, those in the VIP boxes, or the racetrack managers in their offices...

...they all stared at Xu Yun in utter shock!

Xu Yun didn’t seem to mind at all. He grinned and said, "Can’t be helped. I’m a man blessed by the gods!"
