Chapter 13

The next day, after Su Zhe had arranged for Baobao, he took the fighting fish out with him. Today, he was going to find a real estate agent and also learn about the fighting fish gambling. He was unfamiliar with the place and wasn't sure if it was suitable for children. However, he believed that anything related to gambling should not involve children, so he left Baobao and the sulcata tortoise at home.

He first went to a larger real estate agency, roughly explained his requirements, and left some money as a deposit. After finishing these tasks, he took a bus to the address on the business card.

"Brother, you want to go play with fighting fish?" The driver seemed very familiar with fighting fish. Su Zhe had only mentioned an address, but the driver immediately associated it with fighting fish.

"I heard it's interesting, so I want to broaden my horizons," Su Zhe said casually.

"Fighting fish is thrilling, it gets your heart racing," the driver, seeing Su Zhe's indifferent expression, kindly warned him, "Some people have become rich and famous from fighting fish, but many have also lost everything. Gambling is best avoided."

Su Zhe knew the driver was well-intentioned, so he sincerely thanked him and said he understood. However, his situation was different from others. As long as he was willing, he could remain invincible, thanks to the confidence given by the Supreme System.

The driver shook his head and said nothing more. Small bets can be fun, but large bets can be harmful. Knowing when to stop is the most basic principle of gambling. All gamblers understand this, but how many can actually do it? Most gamblers get deeper and deeper into it. The joys and sorrows of gambling are only truly understood by the gamblers themselves. By the time they realize their mistakes, it's often too late.

They soon arrived at the destination. Su Zhe got out of the car and, without the driver's reminder, immediately identified his target.

It was too eye-catching. In front of him was a commercial building that took up a considerable amount of space, with seven floors. The five large characters "Fighting Fish Club" were prominently displayed at the top of the building, visible from a distance. The building's exterior was luxuriously decorated, making it stand out even among the taller buildings around it.

According to the driver, all seven floors of the commercial building belonged to the Fighting Fish Club. Owning such a club in such a place required more than just financial power.

Su Zhe shook his head, shaking off a hint of envy, and walked into the entrance with large strides.

On the first floor of the Fighting Fish Club, the main business was selling fighting fish and related supplies. The variety of items for raising fighting fish was extensive, and many were things Su Zhe had never even heard of, let alone seen, which made him marvel.

There were many varieties of fighting fish for sale on the first floor, but most were aggressive breeds. The ornamental varieties were rare. Apart from fighting fish and their supplies, no other types of fish were allowed to be sold.

At first, Su Zhe was puzzled why other types of fish were not allowed to be sold on the first floor. Wouldn't this make the merchants lose money?

However, when he learned about the prices of the fighting fish sold here, his doubts were resolved. The fighting fish here ranged from a few dozen to hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of yuan. Some shops even priced their prized fighting fish at over 100,000 yuan, and the daily sales were not small. No wonder the rent was so high and the conditions so strict, yet merchants still desperately wanted to open shops here. For them, the fighting fish business was incredibly profitable, and they didn't fear losing money.

The first floor was mainly for fighting fish shops, and no one usually gambled here. The fighting fish matches started on the second floor. After a brief tour of the first floor, Su Zhe went directly to the second floor.

"Sir, I'm sorry, please show your membership card," a staff member at the front desk politely stopped Su Zhe.

Su Zhe didn't know that entering the second floor of the Fighting Fish Club required a membership card. After asking the staff, he learned that from the second floor onwards, one needed to be a member of the Fighting Fish Club to enter. The membership levels were divided into regular, gold, and diamond. Regular members could enter the second and third floors, gold members could enter up to the sixth floor, and only diamond members could enter the seventh floor.

Regular memberships could be for one year, one quarter, or one month. The most cost-effective was the annual membership. A one-year regular membership cost 18,000 yuan, a quarter cost 9,000 yuan, and a month cost 3,000 yuan. The membership account was registered with the member's ID and could be renewed at any time.

Not knowing if he would come back in the future, Su Zhe spent 3,000 yuan to get a one-month regular membership. After paying by card and receiving a silver membership card, he pushed open the door and went inside.

Inside, it was very noisy, with cheers, boos, and various sounds. All kinds of people were gathered here, men and women, young and old.

Su Zhe quietly toured the area, getting a general understanding of the fighting fish match rules. There were many ways to play. One could bet on the club's matches or set up a private match with their own fighting fish.

After watching for a while, he chose a private match with a larger bet to observe. An older man was setting up a challenge, using his own fighting fish to compete. The bet was 50,000 yuan per match, which was the maximum bet on the second floor. The older man had already won three matches today and was now in his fourth. However, it was clear to the discerning eye that he would win this match as well, as his opponent's fighting fish was already showing signs of weakness.

After two minutes, as expected, the opponent's fighting fish was flipped over, losing its fighting ability. The older man's opponent had to leave the bet behind and depart dejectedly.

"Wow, Brother Liu's fighting fish won again, it's the fourth match today."

"No wonder someone offered 20,000 yuan for one of Brother Liu's fighting fish, but he didn't sell. I wouldn't sell either if I were him."

"Brother Liu's fighting fish is probably unbeatable on the first floor!"

The onlookers around them expressed their admiration, clearly envious. Just in one day, Brother Liu had easily won 200,000 yuan.
