Chapter 23: The Gambling

"Hey, can anyone tell me what the situation is?" Zuo Congrong asked depressedly as he sat at the first-class seat where he had been sitting for so many days. Today is the day of the third competition of the first level, according to the plan of the college, today was supposed to be a rest day for the participating players, but for some reason, the day that should have been rested, but I still have to stay here to watch the competition.

"What's the situation? Why is there a problem every time I come to you?" Shenwei didn't know how many times he had complained, but every time he still heard Zuo Congrong's dissatisfaction, obviously the original position was not chosen well, and sitting next to Zuo Congrong was simply a torment.

"It's hard to rest today, why don't we come to watch the martial arts competition for something, can't we do something else? Zuo Congrong saw that someone was taking care of him, and quickly showed a very crazy look and complained.

"What's so bad, no matter how many people want to buy this position, it's good for you, why are you still wronged. The competition has not yet begun, and Zuo Congrong's loud voice naturally reached Mingzhu's ears, and Mingzhu responded dissatisfiedly.

"Of course not, I mean, isn't today a rare rest day, isn't it better to go out and go around, you see, isn't this a duel between magicians and martial artists, it shouldn't be easy to see where to go, right, while it hasn't started yet, how about we go out?" Zuo Congrong saw that Mingzhu was a little dissatisfied, and cautiously suggested.

"I don't care, anyway, I can't see any way to this level of duel, but it's Sister Ziyuan who asked to come over, if you feel bored, just discuss it with Sister Ziyuan, if she agrees, it doesn't matter to me." Mingzhu didn't care and threw the decision to Aster.

"Sister Ziyuan, isn't she ......" Zuo Congrong leaned forward suspiciously, looked at Ziyuan who was concentrating on the hard book on the side, and said suspiciously.

"I'm watching a joust. Before the end of Zuo Congrong's sea of flowers, Ziyuan suddenly raised his head, closed the book, and interrupted.

"You weren't ...... just now"

"I'm watching a joust. ”

"But you didn't even look that way. After being interrupted several times in a row, Zuo Congrong finally said a sentence in full.

"Look at it with your heart. Don't you know the way of the road? What you see with your eyes is only the appearance, and only by feeling it with your heart can you comprehend the true meaning of battle. Ziyuan suddenly became very serious and explained to Zuo Congrong.

"Oh, it's really worthy of Sister Ziyuan, this profound way is clear!" Maybe he thinks that the realm of the strong is not something that ordinary people can understand, or it may be because of the high credibility of Ziyuan, in short, Mingzhu saw that Ziyuan was so serious and immediately said with admiration.

"Sister Ziyuan, please don't transmit this kind of misinformation to everyone, okay. You're so popular, you're sure someone will believe you whatever you say. And you too, you believe anything else!"

Among the few people present, maybe everyone didn't have enough realm, or thought it was because of the magician, they didn't think there was anything wrong with what Ziyuan said just now, but Zuo Congrong was different, he naturally knew that Ziyuan was completely lying just now, and then complained weakly.

"Huh. Then sorry, it was a lie. Shion smiled unconsciously and said perfunctorily.

"You don't even look at it, why do you have to run here for the sake of it?"

"Didn't you say that yesterday?" Shion looked like "you don't know very well". As a matter of course, he replied to the left.

"When did you say it yesterday?"

"The dean said it at the meeting yesterday. Lan Feng saw that Zuo Congrong didn't know why, and reminded.

"Well, it seems like there's such a thing...... But the dean doesn't seem to be mandatory, right?" Zuo Congrong thought about it for a moment and said.

"Because I was pleased. Just be fooled, be patient and see the end, the first-level comparison is still very interesting to me. ”

"Interesting. This sentence is the most unconvincing, you don't even look up at yourself, do you? Zuo said twitching from the corner of Rong's eyes.

"Hehe, that's your delusion, as the student president of the Second Academy, I still have this self-awareness, since there are so many lovely students from the Second Academy here, of course I have to set an example. Listen to me, be patient and see the end, and sleep for a while if you're really bored. Anyway, there's nothing to do, isn't it, and there is a risk of injury and disqualification when going outside, and it's safest to stay here, it's rare for Mingzhu to prepare such an elegant position for us, and it's too rude for Mingzhu not to watch it carefully. Shion still persuaded in a good temper.

“...... , then listen to you!" Zuo Congrong said with some unwillingness. Although I don't know why Ziyuan has such a good temper today, Zuo Congrong is not stupid enough to be ignorant, and at the same time, he doesn't have the courage to challenge Ziyuan's bottom line, so he accepts his fate.

"By the way, let's play a game?" Mingzhu suggested that the atmosphere was a little cold when he saw a few people.

"What kind of game, is this an environment where you can play games?"

"Of course you can, like, guess who's going to win. Mingzhu prompted.

"Guess the winner, what's so fun about that?"

"It's just that guessing the winner is not fun, of course, if there is a bit of a lottery, isn't it fun. Mingzhu laughed wickedly a few times and said to a few people.

"It's going to be a bit fun...... "Jamine said with his hand on his chin and a moment of silence.

"What's so fun, just guess what's going on, it's not easy to cheat if you have a lottery. Zuo Congrong said disappreciatively.

"How to cheat, can we still control the results of the competition?" This competition was held by the imperial capital, especially the victory or defeat of the first level was particularly crucial, Mo said that he was only the successor of the head of the Dongfang family, that is, the real Dongfang family was coming, and it was obviously impossible to control the direction of the battle, Mingzhu, who couldn't understand what Zuo Congrong meant, asked a little puzzled.

"Of course not, I'm talking about cheating with Sister Ziyuan, a few of you think it's interesting because you don't know the internal reasons, but if Sister Ziyuan and I participate in this game, we will be cheaters. Zuo Congrong explained.

"Hey, please, can you use your brain before you speak, the players haven't played yet, you said it so mysteriously, I really think a few of us are idiots, it's very good, right? Mingzhu retorted unceremoniously.

"It's so difficult to tell the truth these days, if you don't believe it, just gamble, that Xu Lei will definitely win, if she loses, I'll let you call for a month!" Zuo Congrong said very proudly.

"Okay, then I'll bet on Sun Lu, and if you lose, I'll be your maid for a month. Mingzhu took Zuo Congrong's gamble without thinking about it at all.

"Forget it, one day is fine, if it really takes a month, Ah Feng will probably split me alive by then. Zuo Congrong hurriedly stopped.

"Hey, it's like the truth, I really think of myself as a fortune teller, and I look good with you when I lose!" Zuo Congrong between Mingzhu looked like he was winning, and retorted unhappily.

"Ah Rong, bullying girls is not what boys should do. Just after the two made a bet, Ziyuan interjected.

"What can I do, she herself doesn't believe in it and insists on gambling with me. ”

"Then you mean, if she believes it, this bet can be ruined, right?" Ziyuan quickly caught the loophole in Zuo Congrong Huazhong and asked.

"You have to look at the meaning of the pearl of others, how can I make a good decision. Zuo Congrong put on a very high posture and threw the problem to Mingzhu.

"Mingzhu, you too, he has always done things like that, what do you do with him. Ziyuan saw that Zuo Congrong was justified and well-founded, and it was not good to refute anything, so he turned his head and preached to Mingzhu in disgust.

"Sister Ziyuan, do you mean he's right?" Mingzhu asked with some uneasiness when she saw Ziyuan's attitude.

"What do you say, didn't you always ask him about the movement of the battle situation a few days ago, why don't you believe it at this time, don't look at his inability to fluctuate, in fact, his insight and reaction ability are stronger than everyone here. He's right, although there is no guarantee that you will win, but the probability of winning is at least 90 percent, and the odds of winning are much better than yours. Shion preached.

"But the contestants haven't played yet, how could they have predicted so far?" Mingzhu said with a disbelieving expression.

"Alas, it's this misunderstanding that gives you the courage to bet with him, right? You look at the announcement screen, Xu Lei of the Third Academy, thirty-eight years old, a magician, Sun Lu of the Fourth Academy, forty-two years old, a martial artist. In terms of age, there is basically not much difference between the two, the only difference is the difference between a magician and a martial artist. And this difference is the root of the victory or defeat of the two of them. Shion pointed with a finger

Announcement screen, explained to Mingzhu.

"Sister Ziyuan, you are wrong, if you judge it normally, it should be that the martial artist is stronger, right?" Mingzhu said with some incomprehension.

"That's right, but if this principle is only applicable to the realm powerhouse level below the strong person, it's a different matter. Although the martial artist of the strong level has greatly improved in terms of speed, after the magician reaches the strong level, because he can carry out elementalization, the flexibility of the body has also been greatly improved, and due to the qualitative change of energy, even the construction of virtual formation diagrams will be much more proficient, and the ability to release high-level magic without chanting is also capable of being implemented, so many qualitative changes are not comparable to martial artists. ”

"Sister Ziyuan, after the martial artist reaches the strong, there should be a great improvement in the magic resistance, right, even this can't stop the attack of the magician?" Hearing Ziyuan's explanation, Yaming also asked with questions.

"Resist magic...... , that one slowly appeared and improved over time, and the two of them were not even fifty years old, and that kind of thing could almost be omitted. In short, Xu Lei can't be said to be 100% likely to win, but what the situation is, you can probably imagine it. Shion explained.

"Alas, the same thing is said, and no one believes me for anything. Zuo Congrong saw that several people had a look of understanding, and the old god was muttering to himself on the side.

"......" (To be continued......)
