GGO, SBC Groken.

At the northern end of the avenue that runs through the middle of the streets of Groken, the square in front of the Presidential Palace Tower is usually a lesser area, but today it is packed with countless players.

Players are all having fun with drinks and food, and there are even gunshots from time to time, combined with the neon lights around and the many advertisements and announcements displayed on the screen, it is almost like a city that never sleeps, much more noisy than yesterday.

On the screen, sometimes a countdown timer flashes.

Then, of course, it is the countdown to the beginning of the third BoB competition.

People watched the countdown and burst out in excitement.

"I think it's the turn of the dark wind this year."

"I think it's the dark wind, too."

"Who made the champion of the last BoB competition suddenly lose news this time and not even participate in the BoB competition?"

"And if the champion doesn't participate, the runner-up wins the championship as a matter of course, right?"

"No, have you forgotten the 'Magician'?"

"There's that monster this time."

"That's right."

"I wonder if Darkwind can beat that monster."

"I'll see the hanging."

A group of players are discussing such topics lively.

This is not only because the BoB competition itself is very eye-catching, many people are concerned about the final result of the competition, but also because the result is closely related to the results of many people.

There are only 30 players who can participate in the main tournament of BoB, but that doesn't mean that the rest of the players will be able to watch the game without their own business.

Before the start of each BoB tournament, there will be a betting market initiated by the operating company in GGO, so that players can bet on their favorite players, like betting on horses, and finally see who can stand out and make a big profit.

Now that the markets set for the upcoming BoB tournament are ready to be placed, more than half of the currencies currently present in GGO are concentrated in this square, and so are the players, which makes this place so lively.

"It's really an imaginary world where every aspect is in a gray area."

Naturally, Luo Zhen who had just logged in and appeared in the square was said to say such a testimonial.

Luo Zhen looked at the entire lively square.

A hologram window showing the odds of players participating in the BoB tournament hangs high in the air.

The richly dressed dealer is supposed to be the official designated NPC prepared by the operating company on the corners, accepting the bets of players who are constantly approaching to collect money.

Intelligence dealers selling suspicious confidential information are digging around and talking to players who are interested in placing bets, presumably earning intelligence fees by selling confidential player information.

Presented here is such a huge casino.

However, due to the currency conversion mechanism, all the money flowing in this casino is linked to the real money in the real world, making the nature of the entire casino infinitely biased towards the edge of crime, no wonder Luo Zhen would say that this is an imaginary world that is located in a gray area in all aspects.

"Perhaps, among the other VRMMOs, there are also types of gambling that can be specifically gambled."

Unfortunately, none of those games have a currency conversion mechanic, which is very different in nature from the gambling that is going on here.

Suffice it to say, it's perfectly fine to think of it as a real casino.

"It's a shame that the operating company dares to do this, if their headquarters were in this country, they would have been seized a long time ago."

Luo Zhen was so emotional, but he didn't have any sense of rejection.

Why exclude?

"Even if the gambling game organized by the operating company is carried out in the game, then the profit here is half of mine."

In this case, why should Luo Zhen reject it?

"I don't know what my odds are."

Thinking so, Luo Zhen approached the NPC dealer, raised his head, and looked at the hologram window.

There, the odds for all participating players are clearly marked.

Some unknown and famous, in the past to participate in the BoB tournament but can not get what kind of good results of the odds of the player is naturally very high, if someone wins, it is a big upset, can make a lot of money, but such players are generally difficult to win, will bet for them players are also pitiful.

And the odds for the favourites are not as good as that.

People know that they have a good chance of winning, so of course they bet their money on them, and if they win and the odds are still high, then the operating company has to lose badly.

Therefore, players want to be able to match one or two dark horses, bet on them, and make a lot of money, which is why intelligence dealers are so rampant, as long as they claim to hold the so-called dark horse intelligence in their hands, players will definitely be moved, and finally spend money to buy, but whether these information is true or false, it depends on the player's own ability to distinguish.

In such a situation, as a player who participated in the BoB tournament for the first time, Luo Zhen found that his odds were only a little higher than Dark Wind.

In other words, in the eyes of the operator, Luo Zhen is also the undoubted favorite.

"Well, after all, I was so crazy before, everyone knows my strength, and they will think that I am the favorite, which is normal."

However, it can be seen from the fact that Darkwind's odds are lower than Luo's real and the operator is more optimistic about Darkwind's appearance than him.

"I think I have too little time to play, and I'm still a super STR type, and if the VIT (durability) is not high, it's likely to be played to death by the speed of the dark wind, right?"

Luo Zhen smiled disappreliantly, and then found that Shi Nai's odds were unexpectedly high.

"Doesn't she say that she is the biggest dark horse of this year's BoB? The odds are so high? ”

Luo Zhen tilted his head in confusion, and then understood.

"Is it because this girl lost in the preliminaries yesterday?"

That's right.

In the fifth round of yesterday's preliminaries, Shino lost.

Her opponent was a professional player who was ranked lower than her in the last BoB tournament, but because the map in the fifth round was jungle, it was difficult to snipe, and Shino was inexplicably unable to concentrate, so she lost.

This undoubtedly made Shi Nai's evaluation drop greatly, resulting in higher odds, and the name of the dark horse was gone.

It's better to say that the name of the biggest dark horse has now been taken away by Luo Zhen, and Shi Nai's evaluation has declined, which is a matter of course.

"Who told you not to concentrate when you played?"

Luo Zhen shook his head, looking smiling, completely unaware that he was the reason why Shi Nai couldn't concentrate.

And...

"You yourself abstained and lost in the final, so you don't have the right to say anything about me."

A cold voice suddenly sounded from behind Luo Zhen, making Luo Zhen raise his eyebrows, shrug his shoulders, turn around, and look behind him.

In the next second, the expected figure appeared in front of him, looking at him coldly.

It's Shino.
