Chapter 179: Weird odds
Xiao Yan was dragged to Wanhualou, and as soon as he entered the door, the people inside saw them and immediately greeted them warmly, "Young Master Huangfu is good, Young Master Yan is good, are the two of you also here to bet?" ”
Huangfu Nan said proudly: "Yes, call your shopkeeper." ”
"Okay, right away."
After the man left, Xiao Yan asked in a low voice, "When did we become so famous?" Do you even know a shopkeeper? ”
"This is your loneliness, you don't know, I stained your light, since the last game, the two of us have become big celebrities, and it can be said that there is almost no one here who does not know the two of us." Huang Funan said proudly.
"Haha, it turned out to be the young master of Huangfu and the son of Yan, I don't know if the two of them are here, they are not welcome, and I hope to forgive the sin, two, please inside." A man in a robe trotted over and welcomed them into the shop, the same man who had received them last time.
"The two of you are here to redeem the prize today, last time the young master of Huangfu overrode the public opinion, spent a lot of money, and bought Yan Gongzi to win, but Yan Gongzi also lived up to expectations, and sure enough, he was promoted, this has become a good story, and the high return of one hundred losses, so how many people are red, since yesterday's bet, there have been many people competing to buy Yan Gongzi to win."
"Little Brother Yan, I didn't expect you to be so popular under the high pressure of Kunlun Palace." Huang Funan teased.
"Yes," the shopkeeper echoed, "I'll do the math for you, except for what you buy and lose, a total of 9,900 taels of gold, wait a minute, I'll go and prepare it for you." ”
As soon as the shopkeeper was about to get up, he was held down by Huang Funan, "No need, we still have to bet, bring your list and odds table to me to see." ”
"Okay." After a while, the shopkeeper brought two small books, which were written on the Dan Taoist Ranking and the Instrument Taoist Ranking.
Xiao Yan opened the book of the Taoist priest, and it was written that combined with the results of the two rounds of competition, the personal strength ranking is as follows:
1st place: Rock Owl
Odds: 0.1 to one
Second place: Jiang Yaoyao
Odds: 0.5 to one
Third place: Liu Ze
Odds: 0.5 to one
……
"Shopkeeper, why are the odds of this little brother Yan so low? What about the last time I paid a hundred? How did it directly become a loss of 0.1 this time? That's too big a gap, isn't it? Huang Funan asked dissatisfiedly.
The shopkeeper said helplessly: "This is also no way, this time it is to press who to win the championship, many people are optimistic about him, and many people buy him to win, so the odds can only be reduced so low." ”
"That can't be ...... like that"
Listening to the conversation between Huangfu Nan and the shopkeeper, Xiao Yan opened another book.
1st place: Yu Mo
Odds: 0.1 to one
Second place: Yue Yuhang
Odds: 0.5 to one
3rd place: Male and female
Odds: Male is one to two, female is one to three
……
Everything was similar to what Xiao Yan imagined, and continuing to look down made Xiao Yan discover a strange phenomenon.
Ninth place: Wang Yangming
Odds: 40 to 1
10th place: Huang Tingyu
Odds: 10 to 1
Eleventh place: Zhou Tong
Odds: 50 to 1
Who is this Huang Tingyu, Xiao Yan couldn't be clearer, but what about the tenth ranking and the strange odds?
"Shopkeeper, who is this Huang Tingyu? Why is she in 10th place with lower odds than 9th or even 8th? ”
Hearing Xiao Yan's question, Huang Fu Nan grabbed it and looked at it curiously, but the shopkeeper looked at Xiao Yan and Huang Fu Nan with a sad face, "That's it, it's the two of you today, if it's someone else, I won't tell them." ”
I only heard the shopkeeper's low voice and said: "According to the grapevine, someone once heard that Prince Yu Mo himself said that this Huang Tingyu is not simple, he is a character. ”
"Youmo?"
"That's right, that's why we put this Huang Tingyu, who has been unknown, to the tenth, but even if it is tenth, we don't dare to put the odds too high, after all, it is the person who has been praised by the prince of Youmo himself."
"Huh!" Xiao Yan couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this explanation, he never thought that his fame was actually borrowed from Youmo's mouth.
"Little Brother Yan, what are you laughing at?" Huang Fu Nan asked puzzled.
Xiao Yan suddenly thought of something, and asked Huang Funan in a low voice: "Do you want to make a lot of money?" ”
Looking at Xiao Yan's tone and glowing eyes, Huang Funan suddenly felt that Xiao Yan was like an old witch, holding a candy, and asked gloomily, "Child, do you want to eat candy?" ”
Huang Funan shuddered, came back to his senses from his YY, and said to Xiao Yan, who had an extremely treacherous smile, "I want to ...... I think so. ”
"That's okay, come here, let's discuss, you ...... like this"
"What do you think?"
"Are you so sure?" Huang Funan asked suspiciously.
"You can believe me again, if not, you can lend me some points first, and I will pay you back whether you win or lose."
"You don't need to borrow it, anyway, I'm not short of money, so I'll gamble with you!"
"Okay, then it's decided!"
The two hit it off, except for taking out a hundred taels of gold to buy Yan Xiao Win, the rest all bought Huang Tingyu, and then, they walked out beautifully, they were happy, and the shopkeeper was even happier, so much money, I thought it would be gone, so I said those half-truths, I wanted to fool them into buying a little bit of that Huang Tingyu, so that they could make more money, but I didn't expect them to take the bait so easily.
That's right, this Huang Tingyu is the bait thrown by their Wanhualou, doing their business, no matter where it is, it will have something to do with it, and after he heard someone inadvertently say that Yu Mo had praised Huang Tingyu, he realized that his opportunity had come.
So, he released the news, saying that this Huang Tingyu is very powerful, and she is afraid of three points, and put her name in a relatively high position, and also made a special odds, in order to push her to the forefront, so that more people can buy her, who doesn't know that the champion this time is none other than Youmo Gongzi, the more people who buy Huang Tingyu, the more they will make Wanhualou.
Of course, he has another purpose, that is, he has already negotiated an agreement with Youmo Gongzi, and he helps push Huang Tingyu to the forefront of public opinion, so as to lure the mysterious killer out and dispose of Huang Tingyu, as long as Huang Tingyu dies, he can not only harvest those huge amounts of money, in addition, Youmo Gongzi also promised to refine a Wuji Pill for him.
You know, he's been at the peak of level 4 for thirty years, thirty years! Although the strength of the 4th level peak is not weak, but in this place where the masters gather, he is nothing at all, fortunately, he still has some brains in business, so he has to temporarily work in Wanhualou, what is he working so hard for, isn't it for the Wuji Pill that can help him break through the middle immortal?
With this Wuji Pill, he can break through the Middle Immortal, don't look at the 5th level and the 4th level peak is only one level apart, but their strength can be said to be a world of difference, only by breaking through the 5th level and reaching the level of the Middle Immortal, can he be regarded as a master, an existence that will not be looked down upon no matter where he goes.
Speaking of the mysterious killer, according to rumors, there have been many players in the limelight who have died innocently in the Tushi Palace recently, and the statement given by the Tushi Palace is that this is a test of the vigilance of all the players, but people in the know know that this is just a statement to stabilize people's hearts, and it is also a cover for the Tushi Palace to catch the murderer for itself.
It's just that the killing method of this mysterious killer reminds people of a murder case a few months ago.
The deceased was a leader of the Five Poisons Sect, and I heard that he seemed to be ranked twenty-eighth among the leaders of the Five Poisons Sect, and it seemed that he was still a woman.
This is exactly the same as the death method of those who died in Tushi Palace before, and people wonder if it is the murderous madman who washed the Five Poisons Sect before who has wandered into Tushi Palace, but this is just people's speculation, because no one has ever seen the true face of this murderous maniac, let alone caught him.
This homicidal demon should be hidden in the Tushi Palace, every few days, he will come out to kill, and the people he kills are those who have potential and no background, just like this Huang Tingyu, so it is estimated that it will not be long before this unlucky Huang Tingyu will be poisoned by the murderer.
After going back, Xiao Yan entered a three-day retreat, in order to win three days later, he had to work hard, work hard, in order not to be disturbed, he also sneaked into Huang Tingyu's room, who knows what moths will come out of Kunlun Palace to deal with themselves, they haven't done anything to buy murder, and that strong and powerful background of Youmo, this road to winning the championship is not so easy to walk.
At night, everyone fell asleep, a black-robed man quickly flashed into the guest room area for the Taoist priests to rest, came to the door of a room several times, took out a thing from his sleeve, threw it into the sky, and this thing was like a huge net, enveloping the whole room and the courtyard.
If there is any immortal who happens to pass by at this time, he will be surprised to find that this is not a net, but a bell, and it is the famous Donghuang Bell!
