Chapter 112: Placing a bet
As the opening ceremony drew to a close, the atmosphere in the hunting ground gradually became much more relaxed.
On the rostrum, the three wizards sitting in the first row leaned slightly sideways and whispered something about something. This gave a lot of courage to the wizards in the back rows, especially the guests who sat in the last row to watch the ceremony, and some even stood up and waved their arms to greet the hunters in the field.
In the stands around them, the spectators exchanged their heads and talked loudly about the possibilities of this year's hunting competition; the officers of the student unions of the four colleges also directed the newcomers who had just joined the club this year to cheer hard for the teams of their respective colleges; only the guests who came from outside the school did not seem to have much enthusiasm because the hunting competition had not officially started.
on the hunting grounds.
At some point, the fog had re-filled most of the venue.
Among them, the fog near the left of the 'Eye of the Vortex' is the thickest, almost condensed into substance, and the more it is centered on it, the more it extends outward, the thinner the fog becomes.
Until the edge of the hunting ground and the foot of the stands, the fog was so thin that it was invisible, and only a trace of ethereal breath remained, as if shrouded in a layer of translucent silk.
After taking the oath, the hunting team began to walk towards the 'Eye of the Vortex' in the center of the hunting ground.
At first, the fog was very light, and their figures were very clear, and in the binoculars, Zheng Qing could even see their expressions, demeanors, and even the charms and ornaments on the corners of their robes.
Gradually, as they got closer to the 'Eye of the Vortex', the fog around them became thicker and thicker, and their figures began to slowly disappear into the mist, eventually being completely engulfed by the dense fog in the center of the hunting grounds.
Whenever a figure completely disappeared into the thick fog, the solid mist near the 'Eye of the Vortex' would always shake slightly, as if it had a full hiccup.
One full hiccups, then another full hiccups.
The hundreds of members of the hunting team soon disappeared completely into the thick fog.
"Using fog to obscure spatial magic passages is a trick often used by wizards......," explained Half-face, pointing in the direction where the hunters had disappeared:
"On the one hand, these fogs can play a 'lubricating' role in space magic, so that there is no sense of lag in the connection of different spaces, and on the other hand, these cold fogs can also effectively suppress the vitality of life and reduce the consumption of mana...... Of course, there are also some wizards who simply want to guarantee their unique spatial magic skills, so they just use the mist to cover it up. β
Zheng Qing suddenly remembered that a long time ago, when he followed his husband to Huiziji for the first time, he set off on a foggy early morning.
At that time, the gentleman took him around the garden of the community for a few times before coming to the small market.
It was in that bazaar that he first came into contact with this otherworldly world, and saw the horned worm, the three-headed dog, the little kid flying around on a wooden sword, the mermaid lady blowing bubbles in the water tankβso many novelties and novelties occupied his mind that he always ignored the thick fog of the early morning.
Today, under the explanation of 'half a face', the fog in the hunting ground immediately evoked Zheng Qing's memories, and he was immediately filled with emotion.
By the time he came back to his senses, Half Face's explanation of the Eye of Heaven was nearing its end.
"...... 'Eye of the Sky' is superimposed with a lot of magic that expands vision and helps with observation. One of the core compound spells is 'Haotian is bright, and Er's king.' Haotian said, and you Yan'. β
"We stand here, it's the sky of that little world. β
"Through this eye of the sky, we follow the hunting team in and out, and accompany the hunting team to travel in that small world. β
"If you just want to enjoy the hunt better, then you can't go wrong with always focusing on the 'Sky Eye'. At the end of the sentence, the wizard who sold the gambling tickets added, half-selling, half-boasting, "Of course, you can also get the most complete hunting view seed through me...... Our people are waiting 24 hours a day by the eye of the sky, and the news is absolutely reliable!"
"Seeds?" Zheng Qing's eyes widened: "Seeds are also sold here?!Can you watch the seeds of the video?"
Half of his face looked at him in surprise.
"I don't know why you're so surprised, but I think you may have misunderstood. Half of his face scratched his chin with a quill, and then patiently explained: "...... Our team of registered wizard-level cultivators can provide carefully cultivated view seeds with top-notch graphics and no loss...... If you're willing to spend an extra Silver Horn, we'll also provide a dubbed Trumpet Flower seed. β
Zheng Qinggan laughed twice, and did not feel embarrassed because his thinking was off.
Anyway, the others didn't know what they were surprised about, he thought to himself.
"That's all I know about Sky Eye. Half of his face finally ended his lecture, stretched his arms, and then raised his chin to look at the young wizards, silently urging.
"I remember you said that these gambling tickets are white deeds?" Xiao Xiao did not break his promise, and after putting away his notebook, he immediately turned the topic to 'hunting betting'.
The 'half face' immediately looked much happier.
"No name, no payment!" The businessman repeated their characteristic as he waved the blank note he grabbed in his left hand: "Any bet you place can find the original stub in the wandering bar...... We can fly cranes on the spot, and the staff of the wandering bar will review. β
"How to press?" Zhang Jixin on the side was gearing up and eager to try.
"According to your wishes. "Sensing the relaxed attitude of several freshmen, the 'half face' became more and more enthusiastic:
"You can bet on the event. For example, the Freshman Hunt, the Round-Robin, and finally the 'House Cup' Competition...... In these events, you can choose your favorite hunting team, you can guess the final ranking of the 'round-robin', guess which hunting team will reach the final, and you can also guess who will win the 'Academy Cup'......"
"Of course, you can also watch people cook. For example, this year's MVH Most Valuable Hunter, or Best Master Hunter, Best Auxiliary Hunter, Best Safari, Best Hunter, and even Best Hunter Manager...... All of these candidates can be bet on...... Of course, the odds for the last honor are very low, as eight out of ten nominations for Best Team Manager go to the school team, and the remaining two will go to the college team that hosts the event. β
"That is, there is a 20% chance that it is the academy team of Jiuyou, and an 80% probability is that it is the first school team?" Zheng Qing nodded: "In this way, if you press Jiuyou Academy, the odds will be slightly higher......"
"Very correct!" Half of his face did not hesitate to speak, and gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's easy to understand at one point, and it is worthy of being a public-funded student of Jiuyou Academy..."
"This is the basic ability to think logically. Zheng Qing grimaced and snorted in a low voice.
"What logic do wizards want?!" Xin Fat Man glanced at Gong Feisheng and shook his head again and again: "Real magic is illogical. β
The young wizard shrugged and did not continue to argue with his buddies on the topic
