435 Group stage
readx;?ā But sir, the odds like this one to two will not change" The waiter smiled and said: "That is to say, if you press one gold coin, as long as this team wins, you will get two gold coins, and in these forty-eight games, there are very few such one-to-two games"
It was indeed very rare that Ling Xiaotian decided to put his money on Amethyst Academy because he was too lazy to care about and study the other teams, and only by pressing on his own head did he not have any risk at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Ling Xiaotian nodded and asked, "Do you have any restrictions on betting here?"
The waiter replied with a smile: "No, you can just place a copper coin, tens of thousands of gold coins, I believe you can also see, we have such a large casino, there is only one in Shengwu City1"
Of course, to place a bet, of course, is to find a stronger casino, so that your investment can be guaranteed.
"Okay then, I'll choose Amethyst Academy and Auster Academy" Ling Xiaotian made up his mind and said, "I'll win over Amethyst Academy."
"What do you say? Amethyst Academy?" The waiter was taken aback, under normal circumstances, no one will be interested in this game, most of the games that everyone values are those with relatively high odds, which is also the common mentality of most gamblers - bet, bet big
"That's right, Amethyst Academy wins" Ling Xiaotian added: "I'm going to bet 100,000 gold coins, the odds are indeed a bit low, a small bet is pleasant."
"What?" The waiters once again thought that they had heard it wrong, every year when they competed, the money they earned on the handicap was about half of the annual income, although they could collect a lot of gambling money every time, but there were really few people like Ling Xiaotian who gave down 100,000 gold coins at a time.
"It's 100,000" Ling Xiaotian said with certainty: "When I wait for the next game, I'm making a heavy bet, this time I'll try my luck first."
The reason why I didn't bet on the next two games was because the waiter just said that the market will change depending on the situation, so there is no need to bet so early.
"Your side please" The waiter bent down and made a gesture of invitation, in his eyes, Ling Xiaotian had risen from an ordinary guest to an extremely noble and high-level guest, and he could sell 100,000 gold coins at a time, and the entire Saint Martial City couldn't pick out a few.
"Please take a seat, I will go through the formalities for you immediately" The waiter took out a gambling ticket, Ling Xiaotian waved his hand, and a hemp bag appeared on the ground, saying: "Let people come and collect money, 100,000 gold coins are not a lot."
The waiter's hand began to tremble, he took a deep breath, wrote the words "100,000 gold coins" on the gambling ticket, and then stamped it with a big red seal, and then handed it over and said, "You take it"
"Hmm" Ling Xiaotian threw the gambling ticket into the Qiankun Ring, although it said 100,000 gold coins written on it, but he knew very well that it was obviously 200,000 gold coins.
Several people carried the bag of gold coins away, and the waiter smiled and said, "You don't play with other gambling equipment, we have a complete range of projects here, you will definitely have a good time."
"No" Ling Xiaotian waved his hand and stood up, and said, "I'm not very interested in other projects, I will often come here to bet in the future."
"Great," the waiter hurriedly said, "Then I'll wait for your arrival"
ā¦ā¦
In addition to the casino, the old immortal said to Ling Xiaotian: "Boy, someone is following"
"What, someone is following?" Ling Xiaotian frowned and said, "Which guy who doesn't have long eyes is actually following me, is it someone from the casino?"
In Ling Xiaotian's heart, the person in the casino just now was really too careful, and when he came out, he sent someone to follow, probably to check his true identity.
"No," the old immortal said categorically: "It shouldn't be a casino person"
"Why are you so sure?" Ling Xiaotian asked.
The old immortal said: "When you just walked out of the hotel, it seems that someone was following you, I wasn't sure at the time, but now it's confirmed, it's the same person who followed you, you think, the medicine man casino sent them, did they know that you were going to look for them when you left the hotel?"
Ling Xiaotian pretended not to know anything and continued to walk forward.
"Then why did you only notice it now?" Ling Xiaotian was most concerned about this issue.
The old immortal replied: "The other party's strength is very strong, more than twice as strong as you, I can feel his existence, it's not easy, I think this person must also be because of his strong self-sustaining strength, so he relaxed his vigilance, otherwise I don't want to know about his existence."
Damn, a guy who is more than twice as powerful as Lao Tzu, what is he doing with me, Ling Xiaotian can't think of an answer no matter how he thinks about it
"So what do we do?" Ling Xiaotian asked.
The old immortal said: "If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, this is not our one-third of an acre, you are here to participate in the academy competition, you can't make trouble, otherwise you will be directly removed from the organizing committee, if you are fined, the sky of your Bauhinia Academy team will collapse, what does that person want to do, let him go, as long as he doesn't do anything bad for you, he should be a bodyguard who doesn't want money."
Ling Xiaotian shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you say this, I have a bottom in my heart, maybe it's one of the old dragons, otherwise why follow me?"
"Well, it's possible," the old immortal chimed in.
Ling Xiaotian continued to walk forward until he reached his room, and the person who followed behind did not show up.
ā¦ā¦
Time flies, and it's about to start.
After dinner in the morning, the two carriages set off for the Holy Martial High Fighter Academy, and the arena was arranged on their campus.
Liu Tiancheng retracted his head from the car window and said, "Brother, the quality of the students of the Shengwu Academy is high, you see, this spiritual outlook, compared with those academies of our empire, is simply one in the sky and one in the ground."
Jiang Yicheng nodded and said: "I also feel this way, let's not talk about the students of other people, let's just talk about the citizens here, they are much stronger than those in our empire, enthusiastic and qualified, and the imperial system of Shengwu City under the republic still has a certain superiority."
"Mediocrity disturbs themselves" Ling Xiaotian opened his eyes, he closed his eyes as soon as he got in the car, and after hearing the conversation between Liu Tiancheng and Jiang Yicheng, he said: "Let's come here to participate in the academy competition, not to comment on the better system, after the competition is over, it's not too late to say these things I ask you, are you ready?"
Jiang Yicheng hurriedly smiled and said: "Boss, no problem, although it is the first time for us to participate in the competition, but, the previous preliminaries are also competitions, you and I are not a chick who doesn't know anything, hehe, besides, today's opponent is the worst in our group, I am full of confidence"
Liu Tiancheng also said with confidence: "That is, today, it will be our first victory in the competition, hehe"
Ling Xiaotian frowned and said, "Do you remember what Lao Long said to them, there are no weak teams that can break into the competition, so it's better for us to be calm, maybe today's opponent is a difficult bone to gnaw."
Xiao Yi also smiled and said: "Boss, it's true that there is no weak team, but there are always exceptions to everything, hehe, we are an exception, who would have thought that our amethyst students would have the opportunity to participate in the competition"
That being said, it was true, but Ling Xiaotian still felt that it was better to be careful
The Holy Martial City Academy is very lively, many citizens have come to watch today's game, usually it is not open to the public, every year during the competition, outsiders are allowed to enter, and there is no admission fee, this is much stronger than the three empires.
"It's a pity" Lao Long looked at the crowd of people who deliberately entered and exited the gate of the academy freely, sighed and said: "Why are they so uneconomical, if they charge tickets, how many gold coins will they have to collect, the people of the Holy Martial Academy are really too bad to live."
Ma Bojun smiled and said: "Old Dragon, do you think that the Holy Martial Academy is so poor as our Amethyst Academy, don't be kidding, people don't care about this ticket income The Holy Martial Academy is the best fighter academy in the entire Phantom Cloud Continent, but the fees of others are much lower than other academies, because the Holy Martial City is not bad for money."
Chu Lingyun looked around for a while and said, "Let's go in quickly, there won't be a good place when it's late."
"Damn, you got kicked in the head by a donkey?" Liu Feilong gave Chu Lingyun a slap and said, "Today we are the participants, and the position we have done is specially prepared for us, so let's find the position by ourselves, just kidding."
A group of people walked into the arena, the match between Bauhinia Academy and Oster Academy was the third game of the day, the time was scheduled for half past ten at noon, it was now nine o'clock, and the first game was about to start.
The stands were bustling with enough seats for 150,000 people, and many of them did not find seats, but that did not dampen their enthusiasm for watching the game.
At a quarter past nine, a middle-aged man walked to the center of the arena, took out a megaphone, and shouted with full of energy: "Fight quietly, the game will start in fifteen minutes, please enter the representative team of both sides, do a ten-minute warm-up, and have players on both sides"
The two teams walked up from both sides of the field, and the crowd cheered loudly, although these two teams are not strong teams, but after all, this is the first game of the year
