In a room on the second floor of the tree castle, the window is blocked by a heavy curtain that does not allow light, and only a glimmer of light seeps in the edges, allowing people to roughly see the scene in the dim room. The furnishings in the room are simple, a table, a chair, a 'bed' and nothing else.

On the table, six fist gloves were neatly arranged in a row, and a faint magical light emanated from them, and the strength of the light emitted by each fist glove was different. Against the backdrop of a room with dark tones, it's easy to tell the intensity of the light – increasing sequentially from left to right.

Generally speaking, the strength of the light emitted by the alchemy equipment roughly represents the strength or weakness of its overall 'sexuality'. Although it will also be related to enchantments, jewelry, etc., the fist gloves are undoubtedly the most important as the substrate that carries these.

On the wicker chair, Kevin sat precariously, his gaze sweeping over each fist glove. These gloves are forged by him during each fight, and the order in which the gloves are placed on the table is exactly in the chronological order of the match. Qualifying, the first round of the group stage, the second round of the group stage, the third round of the group stage, the quarter-finals, the semi-finals, he cast the gloves for Assiba in six matches.

As long as you are a support professional who has a little dabbling in alchemy, you can see that Kevin's level of forging gloves has been steadily improving during this time. Kevin is a jeweler rather than a caster, and it is inevitable that he will make rapid progress in his new field, but it is also extremely rare to be able to make steady progress in such a tight and intense competition.

For the vast majority of support professionals who participated in the Alchemy Grand Prix, it was extremely difficult to play normally in the competition, not to mention that Kevin also achieved self-breakthrough in every game. In qualifying, the four-man Darko team was in 13th place, and the gloves were already at a good level, and then they were able to improve in the competition, which is not something that can be done casually. I'm afraid only Kevin himself knows how much sweat and effort he has poured into it. The gloves he forged in the semi-finals are close to a certain limit, and it will be difficult to improve. However, Kevin was still not satisfied, his eyes locked on the last fist glove, and his eyes were full of solemnity.

Kevin's gaze froze in one place, but the thoughts in his mind were moving rapidly in waves, as if he was playing back some images he had seen. It was Android's performance in the competition, and although Kevin had only watched three of them, the 'fine' and accurate 'manipulation' of the alchemy machine had already been deeply imprinted in his mind.

In Kevin's imagination, a fist glove was gradually cast with Android's movements, and then appeared on the body of an orc. And the fist glove that Kevin forged in the semifinals also appeared in his imagination on Aciba's body, and the two orc warriors immediately fought together, like a ring match, and they were inseparable.

The two orc warriors fought more and more fiercely, and sweat gradually oozed from Kevin's forehead, converging all the way down his cheeks to his chin, and accumulating more and more. Kevin slumped on the table, panting violently, his eyes glaring at the boss, staring blankly ahead.

"Sure enough...... Still doesn't work......"

Although it was only his own speculation, Kevin was convinced of it, and he knew that just the current level was not enough! Android's near-perfect casting process actually set a limit, and the only way to defeat it was to go beyond that limit. Kevin knew that he hadn't reached that level yet, and his understanding of jewelry was still on the level of probability, and that he might succeed in one out of ten times with a perfect casting like Android. However, there is no room for failure in the competition, so it is necessary to increase the success rate by reducing the 'precision', so that the cast gloves will naturally be farther from the limit. The process of Kevin's promotion is the process of weighing the success rate and the 'fine' product rate.

The knock on the door interrupted Kevin's musings, and he sat up with a 'stirring' spirit, and with a wave of his hand, he put the six fist gloves on the table into the spatial ring, and at the same time took out a bottle of red wine and a goblet, and then lazily called out, "Please come in." ”

Leah pushed the door in, and saw Kevin half-lying on a wicker chair, sipping red wine.

"Hey, Costner, we're about to play your brother's team final, why are you so laid-back, you don't have the indignation you had in the first group stage, have you forgotten how we lost miserably?" said Lia with her hands on her hips, puffing out.

"People, it's always good to forget the pain. Kevin said, pouring a glass of red wine into his mouth.

"Hmph, hurry up, everyone has arrived, just waiting for you!" said Liya without waiting for Kevin, just turned around and left.

Kevin then remembered that several people had made an appointment to discuss the strategy for the final in the basement today, and formulated the tactics against the Kostner team. After all, it's the finals, and having lost to Kostner in the group stage before, can't be overstated.

Kevin shook his head vigorously and fluffed up his golden 'colored' hair before following Leah downstairs. No sooner had they entered the basement than they heard the piercing sound of Phyllis's machine.

“…… So we simply tried every means to strengthen the attack, and Ashiba rushed to attack as soon as he went up, and punched him head-on, maybe just hit the opponent's vital point, and it would be fatal!"

"What are you kidding? If all the auxiliaries used for defense were to strengthen the attack, Aciba's defenses would shrink considerably. Once the opponent launches a counterattack, I am afraid that we will be defeated immediately, and we will not be able to put all our chips on what you call a lethal blow. Wendy immediately objected.

"That's right, if the offense and defense are not balanced, you will only lose without any suspense like the Phoenix team. Darko 'touched' his nose on the sidelines, obviously not agreeing with Phyllis's point of view either.

The standard plan formulated by the Dakko team for the ring match is naturally the plan that allows Aceba to exert the strongest overall combat effectiveness, and it is also the best plan that has been obtained after hundreds of tests. If you make changes to the optimal plan and increase one point of attack power, you will lose more than two points of defense, which will naturally outweigh the loss. So if they didn't just happen to be able to restrain each other, they would not easily make changes, and Phyllis's plan to give it a go was too risky, and it was not feasible to have no 'sex'.

"Then what do you say?" Phyllis said dissatisfiedly with her arms around her chest, "Our overall strength is not as good as that of the Kostner team, and the standard plan has lost once in the first round of the group stage, is there any better chance of winning?"

As soon as Phyllis asked this, several people immediately stopped talking, the difference in strength is undoubted, and after these two rounds of elimination, they see this more clearly. The Costner team led by Android is like a 'fine' alchemy machine, almost infallible, and balanced in attack and defense, crushing all opponents along the way. Even Asiba felt the solemn atmosphere of the scene, whimpered in a low voice, and lowered his head.

"The Andrews Costner team is still the same team as they were in the group stage, and every one of their boosters hasn't changed. But our Dakko team is no longer the Dakko team in the group stage. Kevin walked closer, and a sentence attracted the attention of several people, even Leah, who had just come down with Kevin, looked at him with incredible eyes, only to see Kevin look around and continue, "Let's follow the standard armed model, like the Rochechren 'Gate' Ding team, and play with the Costner team in a dignified manner!"

Several people looked at Kevin in unison, their flashing eyes containing different thoughts, and finally Otto asked, "Kostner, how sure are you that you can win?"

"Less than 30 percent. Kevin replied dryly, as a veteran gambler, it was clear that he had already calculated the probability of winning the next game.

"So, we really don't have any hope of winning the championship......" Lia looked down at her toes weakly, as if she had suddenly become decadent.

Not only Leah, but also Darko and the others were all silent, as if the group was silenced by a spell. After so many games, they have all learned about Kevin's talent in gambling, and his pre-game prediction of the result is ten times accurate. The next finals can eliminate many aspects of interference, and it can be determined that it will be a fair matchup, and there will be fewer variables in the outcome of the match. The Alchemy Guild can turn a blind eye to the shady curtain in the early competition for some interests, but the finals will not be cheated in any case, otherwise it will be out of the original intention of the Alchemy Grand Prix, and it will also touch the bottom limit that the Alchemy Guild can tolerate.

Darko and others also have their own estimates of the strength of Costner's team, and they are not much different from Kevin's winning percentage. Although I am very unconvinced, I have to say that the Kostner team is too strong. Just like in the last Alchemy Grand Prix, George's Nike Rei 'Mones' team defeated all opponents with unstoppable momentum. If nothing else, this year's Kostner team will also win the championship in the same way, and the Dacko team is the background of the opponent's championship.

"It's all 'spirit' spirit, and they haven't been compared yet, how can there be no 'spirit' spirit like this?" Kevin suddenly raised his volume, refocusing the attention of Darko and the others on himself, "It is precisely because the other party is a super strong opponent that we have to muster up the energy and show the strongest strength to the other party!"

"But...... But as you said earlier, our chances of winning are less than 30 percent......" Leah whispered.

"It's just the odds I calculated through the odds, but it doesn't mean that we will definitely lose!" Kevin clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, "We have all worked hard step by step until now, how can we give up before the finals begin? Bet on the winning rate of less than 30%, bet on my miscalculation of the odds, in short, I will not admit defeat like this! In the finals, I will do everything I can to win! And it is with a hard-hitting attitude, and I will face off against the Costner team head-on!" ”

Darko and the others were stunned by Kevin's momentum, and then there was a bit of pride in their hearts, thinking that even if they lost, they couldn't lose in their pockets, and they should do their best to win. At this time, they also realized that only by arming their standard solution team Assiba and facing Kostner with the strongest posture could they have a chance of winning the final.

Phyllis snorted disdainfully, "Kostner, don't you bet on our opponent to win every game, no matter what the outcome of the match, you make money." ”

Kevin was stunned for a moment, and then became unusually serious, "I really played too hard in the previous game, and bet on our opponent to win, but also to let myself face the game with a relaxed attitude." But the next final was different, it was a fight between me and Android, I was already slightly inferior to him in terms of technology, if I didn't even have the belief that I would win, how could I beat him?"

Darko was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Kevin, have you already bet on the finals?"

Kevin was silent, nodded after a while, and said calmly, "I gambled all my money, and it was our team to win." ”

Several people were stunned for a while, and even Phyllis was surprised, and couldn't find anything to blame Kevin. None of them expected that Kevin would bet all his savings on it, and Kevin, who is usually cynical, was so determined and determined when it came to the finals.

"Hey, Costner, you won a lot of money in the previous game, why can't you think of the last game, and you have to smash it all in?" Phyllis jumped up directly, but when she saw Kevin's indifferent eyes, she seemed to understand something, so she clapped her hands and shouted, "In that case, I'm going to call!

Liya was stunned, and then laughed, "When I came to participate in the Alchemy Grand Prix, I also got a little support from my family, since the money has been brought out, it is very 'wasteful' if it doesn't come in handy, I'll also bet on it, 40,000." ”

Darko, Wendy, and Otto then called, and even Aceba asked Darko to borrow a gold coin and 'hand' it over to Kevin. Kevin looked at the pile of gold coins in his hand, still calm on the surface, but his heart was already surging. Yes, he is no longer alone, regardless of the victory or defeat he is about to face.

At this point, from strength to belief, the Dakko team has everything ready and is just waiting for the final.
