Chapter 109: A Confident Boy
Zhao Zinc and the four of them walked in the competition area, after more than a dozen martial arts arenas, Zhao Zinc saw that the students in the martial arts arena were fighting very hard, more intense than their martial arts assessment, many of the students who fought in the ring were very experienced in fighting, as if after hundreds of battles, Zhao Zinc looked at some of their students' cultivation is not very strong, but they are very good at fighting.
Zhao Zin couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the students in the academy, the martial artists who cultivated at the same stage, in desperate situations, still had a greater chance of survival for the students in the academy, and the cultivation methods in the academy were still more cruel than in the family.
During Zhao Zin's sigh, he saw that one of the students in the ring in front of him was defeated, the defeated student was a little miserable, he lay in the ring and couldn't stand up, and the hospital uniform on his body was stained red with blood, Zhao Zin saw that the student's eyes were full of unwillingness, Zhao Zin felt that if he didn't stand up, he would continue to rush up to fight.
The students around the ring were shouting, as if they were excited about something, Zhao Zinc was also a little puzzled, generally speaking, the onlookers would support one side, but their emotions were a little too much, as if that person had any benefit to them after he won.
Jiang Chen discovered Zhao Zinc's doubts and said with a smile: "Boss, can't you figure out why the students who are watching around are so excited?"
Zhao Zinc looked at Jiang Chen and nodded, this is indeed a bit abnormal.
"Because most of the onlookers have made bets. Jiang Chen said slowly.
Zhao Zin was a little surprised: "Hmm, the onlookers also made bets, so where did they place bets, did the academy also set up a place for onlookers to place bets?"
Jiang Chen shook his head: "The academy just helps the two people in the competition to maintain the gambling contract, before the competition, the two students of the competition have to give their bets to the referee, and when the competition is over, the referee will bet on the winning students." ”
He looked at the competition platform just now, and continued: "The academy didn't set up a blocking point for the onlookers, did you see the crowd gradually gathering next to the competition platform, there are people there who are opening gambling points, and now that the competition is over, the students who win the gambling can go to get the star coins they won by betting." ”
"Do those students who open gambling points need to pay taxes to the academy, and what is the proportion of this gambling?" Zhao Zinc thought, this may also be a way to earn star coins, if you open a gambling point yourself, maybe you can also earn a lot of star coins.
Jiang Chen shook his head: "You don't need to pay taxes to the academy to open a gambling spot, but... The average person can't afford to open a gambling spot. ”
"Hmm, why, do you need a lot of star coins as capital for opening?" Zhao Zin wondered, he could only think of this question.
"Hmm... This is one of them, if you want to open a gambling point, there are a lot of star coins is an inevitable requirement, otherwise the people who participate in gambling win, and the students who open the gambling points do not have star coins to pay, then naturally there are no students who come back to you to gamble. There is also a very important reason, that is, there must be a strong force as support. Jiang Chen said, gradually becoming serious.
"The current gambling point is basically a monopoly, there is a strong force in the four courtyards, and now this gambling spot is opened by that force, in fact, there are many powerful forces in the four courtyards, and they have also opened gambling points, but they have all been suppressed by that force, and they basically can't operate, so on the surface, they are all gambling spots of that force. ”
"To open a gambling point, you also need a strong reputation, the reputation of that powerful force is naturally excellent, everyone does not have to worry about gambling in them, they also have to win everyone's trust, everyone will bet on them, over the years, their reputation is very good, but the proportion of their bets to win money is very low. ”
"That's why they just said that they opened gambling points on the surface, because their profits from winning money for other students are too low, and there are many gambling points opened secretly that win a little more star coins, such as that force gives others a one-to-two one, and the gambling points opened in the secret may have one-to-three or one-to-four and so on, but the gambling points opened in the secret do not dare to be discovered by that force at all. ”
"So... It's a bit difficult to open a gambling spot. Jiang Chen sighed, and when he talked about that force, there was a look of jealousy on his face.
After Zhao Zin heard Jiang Chen's words, he also became silent, Jiang Chen looked at him, he seemed to be thinking, and he didn't bother Zhao Zin.
After a while, Zhao Zin smiled and said: "Open a gambling point, let's talk about it later, by the way, if I go to the stage to compete, can I place a bet." ”
Jiang Chen shook his head: "No, but people in the audience can place bets, such as me." Jiang Chen showed a wicked smile.
"Then you can do it, I won't bet, I'll just make an appointment with the competitor. Zhao Zin smiled dumbly and said: "Let's go, now the empty martial arts platform in the past, how to conduct the competition?" He still didn't know some details.
"You just have to go over and tell the referee of the tournament that you want to compete, and he will tell you the specifics. Jiang Chen looked at Zhao Zinc and said.
Zhao Zinc and the others walked towards the empty competition platform, at this time, many people had finished exchanging star coins, and they surrounded the competition platform again, and it seemed that a competition was about to start again.
"Then I'll go over first, you can also try to bet a little, don't bet too much. Zhao Zinc turned his head and smiled at Lan Qi.
Lan Qi nodded and said softly, "Childe, pay attention, don't work too hard..."
"Hmm. After Zhao Zinc answered, he walked directly towards the competition platform, he saw a person wearing a black power suit standing next to the competition platform, Zhao Zinc guessed that he should be the referee of the competition platform.
"Hello, are you the referee of this martial arts platform, I want to compete. Zhao Zin walked over and smiled at the man in the black power suit.
The man in the black power suit glanced at Zhao Zinc, and found that Zhao Zinc's cultivation was only a second-order one, and his face showed a trace of disdain, and he thought to himself, just this point of cultivation is also here to compete?
"Well, I'm the referee of this martial arts platform, are you a freshman? So do you want to compete with bets or without bets?" This referee saw Zhao Zin wearing his own clothes, he should have just entered the academy not long ago, so he didn't know much about these competitions.
"Hmm, is there also a competition that doesn't require a bet?" Jiang Chen told him that there were all bets, and he thought that he had to make a bet in order to compete.
"Yes, but if you don't have a bet, there will be very few people willing to compete with you. Seeing that Zhao Zinc's cultivation was so low, the referee spoke in a cold tone.
Zhao Zinc didn't have any feeling for the referee's tone: "Then I want to have a bet competition, can I have as many star coins as I want." ”
"Well, yes, but if it's too high, not many people should take it. He sneered inwardly, you are a freshman, how many star coins can you have.
Zhao Zin nodded: "Then who am I going to compete against?" he wondered.
"You can make an appointment to compete by yourself, or you can put up and down the battle post on the competition platform, and if you have star coins, there will usually be someone to fight. The referee said with a blank face.
"Okay, can we start now?" Zhao Zinc looked at the referee and said excitedly.
"Well, you go to the competition platform by yourself, and then call the cultivator you want to challenge, and then talk about your bet, if it's too high and no one responds, you can try to lower the star coins, don't worry, they can't falsely report the cultivation, if it exceeds your requirements, there will be no star coins if you win." The referee said slowly.
Zhao Zinc nodded, in this way, it is still more fair, he walked towards the competition platform, jumped in shape, and jumped on the competition platform, some people around the competition platform also noticed Zhao Zinc, and they also looked at Zhao Zinc with interest.
Zhao Zinc stood on the competition platform, thought for a moment, and then said loudly: "I am a freshman in this class, and the students who cultivate in the first stage of the second order can come up to fight, well... The stake is three black Star Coins. He originally wanted to say five black star coins, but for a second-order first stage martial artist, five black star coins might be too much, so he reduced it.
After Zhao Zinc's words spread, the people around looked at Zhao Zinc and began to discuss Zhao Zinc.
"He didn't know the importance of the Black Star Coins, but they were directly three Black Star Coins. ”
"A freshman, what can he understand, this strength is also pitifully weak. ”
Many people looked at Zhao Zinc and said disdainfully.
Although everyone was discussing Zhao Zinc, but no one came to fight, Zhao Zinc sighed secretly, is it still too much, his voice sounded again: "Two black star coins." ”
A moment after his words fell, a young man walked towards the tournament platform and said slowly, "I should fight." With that, he walked over to the referee.
"You're going to fight, okay, then you two can give me two black star coins. The referee glanced at the young man who walked towards him, the young man's cultivation was also a second order stage, this young man's body was a little thin, but his eyes flashed with confidence, it seemed that he would definitely win this competition.
After Zhao Zin heard the referee's words, he jumped out of the ring, he walked towards the referee, took out two black star coins from the storage bag, and handed them to the referee, at the same time, the young man also handed the black star coins to the referee, and the referee took their star coins and said to them: "It's okay, go up and compete." ”
Zhao Zinc and the two nodded, and walked towards the competition platform, Zhao Zinc glanced at the young man, he felt that this young man was a little different, the confident look on his face was a little too much, too much confidence, it made people feel conceited.
