At the beginning of Group B, a new wave of climaxes was reached in the Colosseum, and for no other reason than the appearance of the only orc commander. The two matches in Group B are the No. 2-ranked Gafreshak against the No. 16-ranked Goode, and the No. 7-ranked Diaz against the ninth-ranked Tyrone.

The orc commander of Gafreshak's team is undoubtedly one of the biggest attractions of this Alchemy Grand Prix, and naturally gets the most cheers. In contrast, their opponents, Team Goode, finished 16th in qualifying, the bottom of all teams that made it to the group stage. So, in the overwhelming support of the audience, the Group B match began.

However, the Gafreřák team did not seem to be encouraged in any way, and looked absent-minded, and the six of them were all doing their work and laughing at the same time, as if they did not take the game seriously at all. The man with only the whites of his right eye looked even more hanging, looking at the Goode team opposite for a while, and looking around the audience for a while, as if he was sightseeing.

Darko looked at the performance of the Gafreshak team strangely, and muttered, "Is the Gafreshak team a little overconfident? Although the Gude team on the opposite side is weaker, it is also a team that has entered the qualifying round, so they are not afraid of capsizing in the gutter?"

Kevin also frowned, "Even if you have a big advantage, it stands to reason that you shouldn't be so relaxed, after all, this is the stage of the ring, and it is most undesirable to underestimate the opponent, unless you ......"

Phyllis also heard Kevin's words, and hurriedly asked, "Unless what?"

"Unless it's a fake!

"What do you mean?" Dakko had heard of this term for the first time, and he didn't quite understand it.

"One or both of the two sides of the game do not show their real strength to play, so that the result of the game develops in the predetermined direction, and then obtain greater benefits through peripheral gambling, which is match-fixing. It's over, I bought the Gafreřak win game. Kevin thumped his chest, and it looked like he was pressing a lot.

Otto was attracted by Kevin's cry and poked his head over and scratched, "Are you betting on the outcome of the game? Why can't I understand what you're saying?"

Kevin sighed and explained, "The reason why the Gafreřák team is so relaxed is probably that the result has already been decided, either the Goode team released the water to let the Gafreřak team win, or the Gafreřak team gave up the game and let the Goode team win." Judging from the performance of the Goode team, they don't know it, and the strength of the Gafreshak team does not need to rely on that kind of means to win, then it is very likely that it will be the latter! The Gafreshak team is very likely to press themselves to lose! Only in this way can their passivity and slackness be explained!"

Kevin's words shocked Darko for a while, and he was speechless for a long time. Dacko didn't know the inside story, but Phyllis had experienced the last Alchemy Grand Prix, and she had also experienced events such as match-fixing, pointing at Kevin and laughing, "Hahahaha! If you buy two games right in the front, you think you're a gambling god?" Besides, if there is no match-fixing, your gambling game will be very boring. ”

Kevin sighed deeply, ignoring Phyllis's taunts, just staring at the battle table for the rest of the game, and began to think about his own bets in the long run.

Liya on the side also quickly figured out the trickiness, first looked at the performance of both sides thoughtfully, and then asked, "But fake matches generally only occur in the third round of the group stage, after the first two rounds of the game, those who have won two games in a row have been guaranteed to qualify, and those who have lost two games in a row have also been eliminated in advance, these two of them don't matter if they win or lose in the third round, and those with one win and one loss may also spend a lot of money to buy off their opponents in order to compete for the qualifying places." But now it's only the first round, why did the Gafreřak team start playing match-fixing?"

Phyllis smiled evilly and said in Kevin's direction, "It's no secret that the third round of the group stage is a round of match-fixing, so in the third round, most people will take a wait-and-see attitude, bet less, and the odds will not be too high." If you really want to make money in peripheral gambling, it is better to play match-fixing in the first two rounds. ”

Leah asked curiously, "In that case, if you lose one game first, and you lose to the weakest team in the group, then the next two games will be difficult." ”

"Maybe they are confident enough to get rid of their opponents in the last two games. Wendy spoke, but her eyes were fixed on the inscriptionist with only the whites of his right eye on Gafreshak's team, "Where the hell has that man been seen? ”

Darko looked at the man as well, and he still looked like he had seen it a long time ago, but he just didn't remember it. After the last attempt in the casino, he no longer dared to use the pupil of cause and effect to observe others casually, and the strong people he observed would feel something.

Soon the battle began between the orc commander of the Gafreshak team and the orc warriors of the Gude team, and the orc warriors of the Gude team attacked fiercely and fiery. On the other hand, the orc commander, like the rest of Gafreshak's team, seemed to be passive and slacking off, just blindly defensive, and it seemed that he was not taking the madness potion. The occasional attack of the orc commander fell on the orc warriors, but they only caused a little flesh wound, and there was no high attack in the qualifying match at all. The Orc Warrior's attacks kept hitting the Orc Commander's body, and it only caused a little white scratch, and even the skin couldn't be broken.

The audience, who was expecting to watch a good show, only waited for such a painless game, and immediately someone made a noise, and the whistle resounded throughout the Colosseum.

Kevin looked at the enchantments and inscriptions on the orc commander's body, nodded and said, "It seems that full armor is used, yes, after all, there is a game ahead, and this one cannot be injured if you want to lose, and full armor is the best choice." ”

Wendy added, "The enchantment on the gloves actually has the effect of drastically reducing the attack power, and it is considered that their enchanters have ulterior motives. ”

When Otto saw this, he finally recognized that this was a fake match, and he asked strangely, "Since you want to lose, just prepare a weak sustained-release potion, it can work in two or three minutes, why are they delaying it for so long?"

"Stupid, the variety of herbs available in the competition is limited, and it is not easy to select a few of those materials to concoct a potion that will have a negative impact. Leah glanced at Otto with disgust, but she immediately remembered that Otto was not a professional pharmacist, and it was already rare to be proficient in several competition potions such as madness and recovery, and it was not difficult to force others.

"In fact, it is also to choose the time period with the highest odds to lose the game, so that you can earn the most. Kevin took out a game table full of odds, looked at it carefully and replied, "In this game, the time period with the highest odds is the home team minus 5-10 minutes, and there are 35.9 times the odds!"

Darko looked at the magic clock above the Colosseum, where the numbers jumped to just over a little past the 8th minute. I heard a low roar in the ring, and the orc commander had fallen to the ground weakly, and there was an uproar in the stands.

The chief referee immediately announced the results of the match, and the crowd became even more emotional, and the shouts of the match-fixing converged, among which the hardest shouts were the gamblers who bought Gafreshak's team to win. Some gamblers who lost red-eyed even began to throw things into the ring, but they were immediately locked in place by the alchemy puppets who maintained order in the stands, instantly subdued and forcibly dragged out. Although the order on the field was a little out of control, it would not affect the normal progress of the game, and then the players of the Diaz team and the Tyrone team walked into the armed area in turn and started the game.

Darko leaned over to Costner and asked, "Kevin, you also pressed the Freyshak team to win, did you lose a lot of money?"

"I did press the Gafreřak team, but fortunately, it wasn't a lot, although it wasn't a lot......," Kevin shrugged helplessly...... That's what it means not to put all your eggs in the same basket. After all, gambling is speculation, and the results are in the hands of others, which is not a good feeling. ”

"I understand. Dacko knew it was Kevin telling him not to get too interested in gambling, when in fact it wasn't gambling itself that was interested, but the broader aspects of what it could change. The outcome of a game can be changed by a gamble, but what about other aspects?

"It's just a little gold, and the Gafreshak team is going to give up a game because of the money?" asked Otto again, he had never had any idea of gambling and gambling, until he saw a match-fixing match and realized that the Alchemy Grand Prix was far from being as simple as it seemed.

"If it's just a few thousand gold coins, it's really not worth it, but what if it's tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands? Don't forget that their team has the support of the Gafreshak family behind them, and some of them have to be the principal!" Leah answered Otto's question for Kevin, "For a big family like Gafreshak, the winner of an Alchemy Grand Prix is just an honor, and thousands of gold coins are the cornerstone of the family's operation. ”

Kevin nodded approvingly, "Normally, gold coins can't be traded for magic items, but if there is a high enough exchange ratio, there will naturally be people willing to trade credits and even the divine grace of the major churches." What's more, for large families, gold coins are needed to maintain various expenses and capital operations, and without gold coins as a cornerstone, credits and divine graces will lose room to maintain their value. ”

Phyllis suddenly interjected and added, "It's not that gold coins are the cornerstone of the transaction, but that the name of that cornerstone is called gold coins!"

Wendy said as he watched the game in progress, "And they didn't give up on the game, they deliberately lost the first game, as long as they can win the next two games, they can still qualify from the group." ”

"They're really hard enough, and they need to be confident enough. Leah also looked at the game going on in the ring, "It seems that the 7th Diaz team and the 9th Tyrone team are not weak, and the Gafreshak team will have to do their best to win the next two games." ”

"It's worth taking this risk. What's more, if their goal is to win the championship, it doesn't matter what kind of tough battle they need to face. A fire broke out in Kevin's eyes, and this sentence seemed to be more for himself.
