Chapter Seventy-Eight: Dark Horses Are Not Horses
When Kashiwagi walked out of the exit, he saw Flopo not far away, holding his company, half-hugging and half-encircling Rottooth Village and chatting with him.
The latter was covered in sweat and had a wry smile on his face.
"Yo! It's over! β
Flopo greeted him.
Seeing that there was another cypress in front of him, Rotten Tooth Village's pupils dilated suddenly, and he subconsciously looked at the person beside him, and an irrepressible panic appeared on his face.
"You, this, ...... the hell"
"I've asked everything that should be asked, this guy does have a leg with the crystal group, and he wants to pit you."
Flopo said something that made Rottooth Village tremble, "Thanks to him, I found the organization behind him - an underground casino, you may not know, the owner of this casino is actually Chester, the leader of the crystal team, which is really a great help, Kashiwagi." β
"Oh?"
Kashiwagi was a little surprised, "Chester is outside in the underground casino?" β
"Yes, you also know that Chester has always wanted to be the boss himself, but he was forcibly restrained by the boss in the quicksand team." Flopo poked the ribs of the Tooth Village, "Now that the boss hasn't been back for almost two months, careful thinking is starting to move again, you say, right?" β
The latter just laughed and didn't dare to respond to a word.
That's right.
Chester is the legendary Erwu Zai, and the anti-bones have a personal color on them.
The reason why Cangshiro would target Chester like this is that he is not only not loyal enough to the boss, but also wants to be a traitor all the time.
The quicksand team made enemies everywhere, and it was inseparable from the crystal group he mastered.
After all, among the three major groups of the Operations Section, the stone group is mainly responsible for internal affairs, the sand group is mainly responsible for the management of mines and smelters, and only the crystal group is responsible for external affairs.
And the reason why Chester can be arrogant to this day is because the quicksand team boss thinks he is a talent and thinks he can control Chester-
When the boss is there, it is.
But now that the boss has been out of Silicon City for a long time, Chester may have heard something and started to make small moves again. Thanks to Kashiwagi, the king of catfish among the weak tench, they were disturbed.
"What are you going to do?"
Kashiwagi looked at the Rotten Tooth Village, which began to tremble and realized that his condition was not good, "Shun Teng touched the melon and destroyed it directly?" β
"No, of course not, I'm going to borrow his hand to find more clues."
Flopo laughed so hard that he patted Rottooth on the back, "Did you hear that?" You've said so much to me, it's impossible for Chester to let you go, and only by cooperating with me can there be a way out. β
ββ¦β¦ You, you have the final say. β
Rotten Tooth Village looked dejected and laughed flatteringly.
ββ
The afternoon of the end of the Sixty-Four.
The names and avatars of the thirty-two finalists were announced on a giant screen in the center of the hall.
The trainers who stayed there turned on the argument mode.
"It feels like it's those familiar faces every time, it's really boring."
"Where is this battle conference, it's obviously a withdrawal conference! Just don't hold it next time, just send it directly. β
"You said Nima! My eldest brother participated for the first time, and you didn't see it above? β
"Heh, whoever walks shit and brings in may not be able to appear in the tiebreaker tournament."
"What did you say!?"
The noise was quickly drowned out by the chatter.
There were those who couldn't suppress the fire and started to do it, but they were quickly pulled away by the security personnel in the arena, no matter which force they came from, whose name they reported, they were thrown out to calm down and come back.
After all, in Huangtie Town, there are only two brothers, Silver Horse and Silver Ape, who can be called a first-class big force in Huangtie Town, except for the mayor who controls the entire Huangtie Town government order system.
Their sphere of influence includes the most prosperous section of Huangtie Town, and no one can afford to provoke them.
The controversy continued in the hall.
But compared to the previous civilization, the debate has also returned to which contestants have a better chance of advancing to the next round.
Some of the participants have really played for many sessions, changing the soup but not the medicine, and those who have been in the arena for many years can guess that they will advance.
Many underground gambling houses have changed their odds directly from winning or losing to betting on how many PokΓ©mon on both sides will lose.
What one-to-three, two-to-three and the like, there are also ties.
These people are collectively known as seeded players, and it is extremely uneconomical to buy them for those who want to get rich overnight and turn the tables with one ticket.
At this time.
The people in the arena hall are arguing not so much about who they like to bet on, and looking at the faces on the big screen is like watching a live horse race, or a stock.
"I'm very optimistic about that, the one who looks like he has a big nose, and my mother said that such a person is blessed."
"Fuxiang, Fuxiang is worthless in the face of combat effectiveness."
"I think that's a good guy."
"That's a woman!"
"What's wrong with the woman? Doesn't being able to reach the top thirty-two prove her combat effectiveness? There are no women in the seeds! β
"You've bought it, I'll laugh."
"Hehe, look over there, do you remember the name Kashiwagi? Just the kid at the charity meeting! β
Someone pointed to a corner of the screen, and a large head of cypress wood stood out in it.
It was mentioned earlier.
Due to his outstanding performance at the charity meeting, Kashiwagi's name will be spread on a small scale, making him a small celebrity.
Although he has not performed much on the big stage of Huang Tiezhen in the past month, many people still remember him.
"It's too tender, it's not good."
"You don't know what happened to him when he played? One attack and one auxiliary barely survived to the end, if it weren't for that stupidity, he wouldn't have been able to win at all. β
"How much can I grow in a month? I'm not optimistic about him. β
"Please think about it with your brain, he has reached the top thirty-two, obviously a dark horse!"
"I think it's a dead horse."
The commentators shook their heads and sentenced Kashiwagi to death for the future, but they were not optimistic about him.
But there are still people who choose to bet on Kashiwagi after listening to their discussions. After all, the competition comes round by round, and the gambling tickets are also bought round by round.
As long as you can advance, you won't lose.
And as someone bets on it, his odds gradually change and enter the field of vision of more people.
Kashiwagi, who had already returned to the territory of the quicksand team, did not know that his name had once again received a small amount of publicity.
Next.
The preliminary tiebreaker opened.
Once you have passed this level, the next step is the Victory Tournament.
The stage of the competition will be changed from a semi-closed to an open arena, allowing spectators to enter and watch the game, and the hall will also broadcast the game content in real time.
It can be called a grand event in the entire Huangtie Town.
And from the promotion, Kashiwagi still needs to play one more round.
"I'll leave it to you today."
Walking down the rusty wasteland-style walkway, he whispers to the Bigmouth baby in the PokΓ© Ball.
The PokΓ© Ball shakes slightly, representing the latter's response.
