479: Chapter 0479: The Speed of Fish 479: Chapter 0479: The Speed of Fish A little entertainnt was acceptable to the girls.
Qiao Zai Shui smiled and said, “Place your bets on who you think will win, let’s place our bets.”
Amused, the other girls started to bet with one or two yuan.
Luo Yang and Tan Shengi stood on either side of the large pool, warming up first.
This was important as it prevented stiff muscles.
Even for those who were good swimrs, cramps could still happen once in the water.
If sothing went wrong in the water, it could be a matter of minutes before it beca life-threatening.
So bet on Luo Yang, others on Tan Shengi.
At this point, Tang Guihua laughed and said, “This competition isn’t fair.
Niu Zai, you have to swim there and back, while Shengi only has to swim to the other side.
If you can beat her, then that would be reasonable.”
After all, Luo Yang was a boy.
Just like in running, girls generally can’t outrun boys.
The girls all agreed, “Right.
Niu Zai, you have to swim there and back.”
If they went by their rules, Luo Yang would indeed need the speed of a fish.
He chuckled, “You’re intentionally making lose.”
An Yuying said softly, “Niu Zai isn’t a professional swimr, and can’t possibly be much faster than Shengi.
Everyone just swim to the other side, and whoever is fastest wins.”
Every ti Luo Yang faced trouble, An Yuying was always the first to co to his defense.
And Tang Guihua loved to contradict An Yuying, snickering, “Niu Zai is a boy, he has a higher chance of winning.”
Then, turning to Luo Yang, she said, “Niu Zai, it’s settled then.
You swim there and back.
If you take less ti than it takes Shengi to swim to the other side, then you win.”
After giggling twice, she added, “I bet on Shengi to win.
Niu Zai, if you lose, you owe ten to one.
I’m betting one hundred yuan.”
If Luo Yang lost, he’d have to give Tang Guihua one thousand yuan.
Hearing this blatant grab for money, Luo Yang could not help but laugh and say, “Sister Guihua, you really know how to make a profit.
I’ve got to hand it to you.”
The other girls also placed bets on Tan Shengi to win, all betting at ten to one odds.
In truth, Luo Yang hadn’t agreed; they were forcing him to do it.
Only An Yuying bet on Luo Yang to win.
By Tang Guihua’s rules, the chances of Luo Yang losing were quite high.
An Yuying just wanted to support Luo Yang and didn’t care about whether he won or lost.
“Hurry up and place your bets, your odds are one to one, only mine are ten to one,” Tang Guihua corrected one thing.
Only she was entitled to the high returns.
The other girls didn’t argue and just let her take charge.
Luo Yang smiled and asked, “Sister Guihua, what if I win?”
Including Tang Guihua, those who bet on Tan Shengi to win never considered the possibility of losing.
The large pool was a rectangular swimming pool, approximately twenty ters in length.
Swimming there and back ant forty ters.
Tan Shengi had to swim twenty ters, Luo Yang forty.
That made winning quite a challenge for Luo Yang.
If it were a land race, say Tan Shengi ran a hundred ters and Luo Yang ran two hundred ters, the crowd would still think Luo Yang stood a chance to win.
But in the water, it was a totally different story.
Tang Guihua chuckled, “Niu Zai, if old lady here loses, you can ask to do whatever you want.”
After hearing this, Luo Yang laughed and said, “Okay.
Sister Guihua, if you lose, you have to cook breakfast for every day, without pay.”
The girls snickered.
At the sound of the whistle, Luo Yang and Tan Shengi both dove into the water.
From Tan Shengi’s swimming form, it was clear she knew how to swim well.
But ever since Luo Yang received the “Shennong Scripture”, his constitution had improved qualitatively.
In the water, his diving capabilities were also stronger than others.
He didn’t need to co up for air often and could swim a long distance in one breath.
As it turned out, despite swimming there and back, Luo Yang still managed a narrow victory over Tan Shengi.
Tang Guihua laughed coquettishly, “Niu Zai, this ti doesn’t count.
We’ll compete again next ti.”
After that, she went to play in the smaller pool.
The other girls followed, and they allowed Luo Yang to join in playing in the small or dium pool, where they started a ga of eagle catching chicks in the water.
