"Master Angel, as one of the two players in the first opening match of this Martial Soul Duel, the top 32 event, your strength has been greatly recognized by the Martial Soul Duel Organizing Committee, and now, the list of four-person team members in your eighth division has come out, and your first opponent is a Japanese young swordsman known as the 'Black Mask of No Killing', do you have anything to say about this?"

In the previous martial arts duel competitions, only in the final 32 games, will be broadcast live on TV around the world, and the previous rounds of events are all on demand or live according to personal preferences, for example, the black fake faced the stars of Edna, which gained a large number of live viewers around the world, and the game of the black fake against Andrew, basically no one watched.

Speaking of which, Motowa Yanagi's title of 'Black Kamen Without Killing' became famous because of Edna's reputation, otherwise, who knows what Black Kamen is!

The reason why Sakura Kobayashi found out that Yanagi Motohe's card and money suddenly increased was mainly because of this game. Edna has many supporters in the world, and naturally there are many people who want to watch this game, and the broadcast rights are sold well, and Yanagi Motokazu, as the winner of that game, has received a dividend of nearly 50 million yen.

And with the fame of Black Masquerade, even with his previous rounds, the video has sold much better than before, in fact, for many star players, the share of broadcast rights is the bulk of their income from participating in martial arts duels.

"Hahaha, the black mask of non-killing, this nickname is really interesting, Japanese young swordsman? Okay, okay, I understand what the organizing committee means, is this for me to dance with this young swordsman at the beginning of the round of thirty-two?"

Angel Ruiz laughed out loud, it was ridiculous to play some kind of 'don't kill' beak in such a duel ring with a legal disclaimer. Isn't the life-and-death duel of 'no killing' a pas de deux?

"Master Angel, you killed the famous Japanese swordsman Master Hoshino Yuaki who had jumped out of the ring on the spot, did you ever think that one day, you might encounter a similar scene in the ring?" was a Japanese reporter's question.

"I want to make it clear that I am not killing a loser who gives up the fight and jumps off the field, but a brave man who has to fall off the field until he loses his center of gravity and has to fall off the field, but still does not give up the fight. I don't know if you've seen the footage of our fight, but if you've seen it, you know that it's a respectable opponent.

Even at the last moment, she maintained the dignity of a warrior, even if she died, she did not fall, as a swordsman, I have no regrets about killing such an opponent, in fact, fighting with all her strength is my greatest respect for her.

As for you saying that one day in the future, I may encounter such a scene in the ring, hahaha, I look forward to this day, in my eyes, being able to die in the ring of a fair duel is a more ideal ending in life!"

In the heroic laughter of Angel Ruiz, even the disgust of Japanese journalists towards him was diluted a lot.

"So, in the opening match of the round of thirty-two, will you kill the black mask?" This is another reporter, looking at the color of the white reporter.

"It's hard to say now, since you have stepped into the ring of the martial soul duel, presumably every player has signed a legal exemption document, that is to say, every player who comes here is actually ready to kill and be killed.

I think this black mask is no exception, if he is not willing to risk his life, he can abstain early, no matter how good I am, it is impossible to threaten the life of a player who abstains, right?"

——————————

The reporters who interviewed Master Angel Ruiz filled the entire podium, and on the other hand, Yanagi Yuan, who was sitting on the other side, and here, the reporters chatted little, after all, everyone was more interested in Angel Ruiz, who had killed his opponent in the ring, as for the black mask, how old is he?

So far, the only record that this 'Black Mask Who Doesn't Kill' has achieved is defeating a female Olympian fencing champion, well, two consecutive fencing champions.

But this is a martial soul duel, not a fencing competition, the audience is completely different, maybe because of the love, many viewers love the star Edna, but when it comes to combat power evaluation, not many people are optimistic about this female swordsman from the fencing champion, otherwise, when Yanagi Shengyuan and was introduced as the 'Black Mask of No Killing', how could he get such cheers from the audience?

Isn't it that everyone is afraid that a strong opponent will come and hurt their baby Adna?

Therefore, as the black mask who defeated Edna, everyone's evaluation of his combat power is actually not very high.

"Black Kamen player, you also heard Master Angel's words just now, do you have anything to say?" Maybe it was because he felt that the black masked who no one was paying attention to was sitting alone and was too lonely, or maybe he wanted to provoke a debate between the two and make the opening battle of the top 32 more topical, and finally two reporters came over with the microphone to interview Yanagi Yuanhe.

It was the first time for Yanagi Yuanhe to encounter this kind of scene, he was not a person who could speak well, and the so-called saying too much was wrong, so he kept silent and didn't say a word while Angel was making a lot of nonsense on the side, and besides, what to say to a person who is going to die tomorrow?

But now that the reporter came to the door, the microphones were stuffed in front of him, and it didn't seem good not to say a few words, Yanagi Yuanhe was silent for a moment, just when the reporter thought that the young man was going to be silent to the end, even at the press conference, Yanagi Yuanhe, who was still wearing a black mask, said: "Tomorrow I will step into the ring of the martial soul duel, so that everyone can see a different me." ”

"Master Yanagi, the ring is ready. Hiromi Takahashi looked at this young swordsman with a white mask and was envious in her heart.

At the pre-match press conference this morning, his boss Liu Sheng had a whim, and he wanted to arrange a performance by himself, what to perform?

What he wants to perform is tomorrow's game, and his young boss has already taken over the task of avenging Master Hoshino Yumei, so tomorrow he will kill his opponent on the spot in the first game of the opening of the Martial Spirit Duel Thirty-two Competition.

However, in order to prevent his parents, who might be watching the live broadcast of his game, from seeing the scene of him killing people on live TV, the boss had the whim to shoot a fake game video to replace the live video of his game tomorrow and fool his parents.

Originally, this was not a difficult task, but Yanagi Yuan and the morning remembered this idea, and in the afternoon, they had to set up a stage to sing, and they also had to find an actor who was similar to the size of the master Angel and had to have two skills in swordsmanship - it had to be kept secret, but it was really hard to find.

In desperation, Takahashi Hiromi had to ask for help from the Jianhao Society, anyway, with her own network ability, it was impossible to find the actors, set up the stage, and make a bunch of decent audiences in such a short time.

Unexpectedly, less than forty minutes after her report was typed, a bunch of people who looked very professional immediately rushed to the Jianhao Club, set up the scenery and laid the ring in the largest hall on the first floor, and in just one morning, the hall on the first floor was transformed into a decent one, of course, it was impossible to completely follow the competition venue.

However, all the places that cannot be renovated for the time being are covered with huge photos, and from a distance, they are completely no different from the auditorium full of audiences, especially the chairs in the first few rows are still real, presumably when the time comes, it will be extras to play the front row audience.

The manpower and material resources used in such a short period of time have exceeded Takahashi Hiromi's understanding of the ability of the Sword Hero Society itself.

When Yanagi Yuanhe walked into this hall that was originally the first floor of the Sword Heroes Association as a reception, he couldn't recognize that this was the room he had seen at the beginning.

"Master Yagyu, this is today's director, Ms. Tamako Kurokawa. Takahashi Hiromi hurriedly introduced to Yanagi Yuanhe, in fact, among the people who were busy in the room, she only knew this one, and the others all had a strange feeling, one by one silent, all working in an orderly hurry, not at all like a normal film and television practitioner.

"Liu Shengjun, we have received your request, I will arrange this performance for you, the work of switching the video line for your family has been completed, if your family watches the live broadcast tomorrow, what they see is the video we recorded today. ”

Tamako Kurokawa, a middle-aged lady with an ordinary appearance and a director's vest covered in pockets, walks up to the ring with Yanagi Motokazu as she introduces the location of the camera and some precautions.

"Due to the tight schedule, there are still many deficiencies in the renovation of the entire hall, so when Master Yanagi moves, I should pay attention to not going to some places where it is easy to shoot flaws in the scene. ”

"As for the process of playing in the ring, you can play freely, as long as you don't hurt the actor who plays Angel. ”

——————————————

"Nakahira-kun, the financial report of the first half of the martial soul duel has come out, do you want to take a look?" Hasegawa Nakahei sat in his office, and naturally a subordinate sent him the information he was interested in.

Martial Soul Duel-related gambling industry,Occupy a large part of the royal family's annual income on the Martial Soul Duel,This year, because he is responsible for the security of the Martial Soul Duel,So the corresponding player information in his hand is relatively complete,This has attracted the attention of the royal family in charge of the Martial Soul Duel betting project,And Hasegawa Nakahei has shown his intention to move closer to the royal family in recent years,Naturally, it was included in the royal family's sight。

Therefore, Hasegawa Nakahei has been absorbed as a peripheral member of the royal family to assist in the operation of this game.

"Well, that's right, this year's Martial Soul Duel's gaming revenue has increased by 340% compared to previous years. The subordinate had already left the office, and Hasegawa Nakahei looked at the report in his hand with a smile on his face, but this credit was not enough, if he wanted the royal family to give resources to support his campaign, he had to make a greater contribution.

After all, his popularity is limited to the scope of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and because of the status of the Security Bureau, he cannot reasonably promote himself, and the royal family needs to pay more manpower and material resources than other candidates to support him.

In other words, if you can't get far more support for the royal family than you will have to pay in this martial soul duel gambling operation, it will be difficult for you to get full support for your future election road.

However, this is going to take a little risk, itself gambling is a game of playing balance, the traditional gaming industry is operated in this way, for example, the two sides of the competition, Party A is strong, Party B is relatively weak, and this kind of intelligence is widely known, then, as the host of the gambling party, how to make money?

After all, customers are not fools, and they will naturally bet on a powerful Party A.

The gambling industry actually adjusts the odds by the number of bets placed by both sides, for example, on Party A, a total of 10,000 yen, and on Party B's bets, because everyone knows that Party B's strength is weak, only 1,000 yen, these people are counting on an upset to make a fortune.

Then, the bookmaker will adjust the odds in real time according to the bets on both sides, for example, Party A's odds are set at 1.09, that is to say, Party A wins, 10,000 yen of bet, the bookmaker will pay 10,900 yen, and the extra 100 yen is naturally the bookmaker's income.

Correspondingly, the odds of Party B's upset can be set to 9.9, in case Party B wins, 1,000 yen multiplied by a multiplier of 9.9, the bettor will receive 9,900 yen, and the extra 100 yen will also go into the bookmaker's pocket. Therefore, the bookmaker's setting of the handicap is based on the number of bets placed by both sides.

There may be some discrepancies in betting timing, but in general, in this way the bookmaker is always sure to make a profit, no matter who wins or loses.

However, in addition to this conservative way of operation, the bookmaker also has another method of operation, that is, to use the asymmetry of information, the bookmaker gambles with customers, for example, there is a good dark horse in this martial soul duel - Yanagi Yuanhe.

Under the guidance of the Japanese side's propaganda intentionally or unintentionally, this dark horse has been well hidden, and has even been given the name of 'Black Mask of Not Killing', which sounds harmless to humans and animals. Through the setting of the handicap, a large number of customers are introduced to bet on Yanagi Yuanhe's opponents, and naturally this money becomes the net profit of Sakura betting.

Just before the round of 32, this Yanagi Motokazu had already gambled on Sakura and earned more than three times as much as in previous years.

After all, this kind of gambling game in which the bookmaker gambles against its customers is not like a traditional balancing operation, and if one is not good, it will lose money. If you insist on it, the royal family's cherry blossom gambling will get a lot of benefits, and the credit will naturally go to your own head.

However, if you lose your old capital, it is estimated that eighty percent of the responsibility will be pushed on yourself. This kind of competition for merit is not unique to Japan.

I should still find an opportunity to have a good talk with this young man, and really understand his ability, but this time I sent a professional to help him shoot a fake video to fool his parents, which must be able to make him a little affectionate, and this personnel dispatch is in the form of the application of the Sword Hero Club, and he doesn't have to bear any responsibility, and at the same time, he also leaves himself an excuse to contact Yanagi Yuanhe.

His daughter Rumiko Hasegawa also mentioned this young man, saying that he may be a swordsman who really mastered vacuum cutting after Tsukahara Buden. Tsukahara Bu Chuan Sword Saint, if this young man really has the skills of Tsukahara Bu Chuan Sword Saint, then, except for that legendary figure, wouldn't he be able to sweep the entire martial soul duel?

What channel did he use to get this young man to let down his guard and honestly explain his actual skills, so that he could make a correct judgment?

Moreover, tomorrow is the top 32 match, this teenager took over the revenge mission of Hoshino Yumei, presumably after tomorrow, it will be very difficult to hide his dark horse nature, but according to the information available now, what Angel Ruiz should not pose any threat to Yanagi Yuanhe, that is to say, tomorrow's game is the last chance for Sakura Betting to make a fortune using the asymmetry of intelligence, and it has to be operated well.

"Tomorrow my assistant needs to be replaced, Director Aoki, I will take Angel's life on the field tomorrow, so, Lianji and Ema are not suitable for playing, do you see if there is a suitable candidate?"

"What happened to you?"

"Angel killed Master Hoshino Yumei, and I have taken over the revenge mission issued by the Sword Hero Society. ”

"I see, tomorrow I will act as your assistant together with the two cultivators, as a first-class sect master, with such an opportunity, how can I not witness you show your might and avenge Master Hoshino!"

"What's so good about killing people, if it weren't for Angel Ruiz's deception too much, and the Ming Xingye Master has fallen out of the field, but he is still killed by his flying sword, I wouldn't have taken on such a task. Liu Shengyuan said with a wry smile.
