third chapter **

Although this is not the first time I am walking on the streets of India, Shakru still can't help but complain. This is New Delhi, the capital of India. How can municipalities be so chaotic? The cows and dogs are wandering around the streets, hawkers and beggars are everywhere, slums can be seen everywhere, buses, private cars, tricycles, motorcycles and even ox carts are driving around...

At this time, big cities like India, including New Delhi and Mumbai are mainly composed of tricycles, which is commonly known as "Bongbeng" in my country. What's even more exaggerated is that there is a fee meter installed on it, which is another wonder. There is another bad thing. A San likes to draw flowers, birds, insects, etc. on the car, and the colors are also smeared. Often, one red is the other. Shakru remembers this: red is green, which is a badass. But this is not the worst - some of the messes are painted with various talismans on it, and they look like hears. When there are too many cars, the streets seem to be full of hears, which makes me feel so cold!

The bus is very large, but it looks familiar. If you look closely, you will feel that the military vehicles used to transport Allied soldiers during World War II were modified, and even the steel bars on the window were not changed. This is not enough to amaze the Chinese people. What is amazing is that when the bus enters a relatively small platform, it does not stop, and people jump out of Lao Gao's car and run a few steps with the car to buffer inertia. At the same time, the people who get on the bus trotted a few times and then jumped up! Strangely, none of the cars passing by next to them hit them. It seems that the nation that cheats are indeed well-known. Anyway, Shakru dare not take such a bus that is full of light skills masters.

After going through a lot of hardships, I finally arrived at the ** Company. As soon as I arrived here, Shakru's Brahmin identity showed an advantage. When the guard who stood at the door was originally arrogant, he immediately bowed and politely invited him in. In the eyes of foreigners, it was very difficult to distinguish the caste of Indians, but in fact there were still some tricks here. For example, distinguishing the identity of Indian men usually only requires a glance at his wrist.

In India, boys of high caste wear holy threads when they are born. The materials of holy threads worn by different classes are different. Brahmin boys wear cotton threads, Kshatrian boys wear linen threads, and Vaishya boys wear wool.

Therefore, when you meet an Indian man, just look at his wrist and you will know his general class. Those with coils are high castes, and those without coils are low castes or untouchables. Then, distinguish the material of the coil and you will know the specific class. No one dares to wear them randomly. Otherwise, once they are discovered, they will be waiting to face punishment from everyone in the whole society. If you throw them into ancient times and directly execute you, there is no problem. Another point is that if you see an Indian man wearing an iron bracelet, he will almost be a Sikh. (In fact, the most obvious sign of the Sikh people was their big hats, but not everyone is wearing them now, but iron bracelets are necessary.)

The staff at ** Company are naturally all gang members. Indian gangs have two major characteristics: one is that they are arrogant and only bully their own people and rarely bully foreigners; the other is that they specialize in selecting untouchables without educational backgrounds, and they dare not offend high caste members. Therefore, the staff in charge of betting were also very polite to Shakru: "Dear sir, what can help you?"

Shakru asked casually, seemingly indifferently: "Which game in the World Cup has the largest handicap now?"

The staff glanced at the game list and replied: "Well, it's Argentina's game against Cameroon. The odds for Cameroon's victory were 9.5, and then it's Italian team Austria. The odds for Italy's loss were 7.2, and the odds for Egypt's victory were 9.1, and the draw was 6.5." (William Hill implements European odds gameplay, which is different from the common handicap discounts in Asia.

It is said that if you bet 100 yuan for Cameroon to win, then you will get the principal* odds-primary, that is, 100*8.5-100=750 yuan. I did not find the odds of the 1990 World Cup group stage, but according to the odds table for the 2014 World Cup, it should not be outrageous. In 2014, Brazil's odds against Croatia were 11.14.)

After hearing this answer, Shakelu was secretly happy. As expected, he was similar to his memories in his previous life. No one was optimistic about the first stop of Cameroon to win. After all, it was Argentina led by King Maradona. However, in fact, Cameroon led by Uncle Mira won in this game, which started the counterattack of the dark horse army. Although Egypt did not have as much impact as Cameroon, it was also a rare unpopular game. As for Italy's game, the result was quite normal.

So Sharkru happily took out 10,000 US dollars from his pocket and said, "Okay, then buy Cameroon with 3,000 US dollars to win, buy Egypt with 3,000 US dollars to tie the Netherlands, and buy Italy with 3,000 US dollars, Yes, so you will have all the winners and draws."

Even the staff who are used to gambling were a little stunned for a moment, and then asked carefully: "Sir, I heard it right, are you going to buy 5,000 US dollars to win?"

Shakru nodded: "Yes, that's right, why aren't you allowed?"

The staff licked their lips and said hesitantly: "Of course, it is allowed, but I kindly remind you that Argentina is a world-class team. Maradona, the most powerful football king in the world, is in their team, and the other players are all masters, but Cameroon has never achieved any good results..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the impatient Sharkruh without hesitation: "What are you talking about? Do you think I don't know this? When I watch the game on the first day? Just tell you which team to buy, just buy me which one, where does that nonsense come from?"

These words almost made the staff member angry to death. He thought to myself that I reminded you with kindness, fearing that you would lose money in a mess, but you even scolded me? These Brahmin kids have really spoiled the family. If you change your identity and place, I will not be able to deal with you now. Looking at your thin arms and legs, I will probably not be able to hold on to me and fall down with one punch.
