Elder Ma had an expression of worthwhile and happily left the Alliance Academy.

At the school gate, Ma Guanyu and his entourage happened to see his uncle's carriage and Elder Ma sitting in it with a smile on his face.

Ma Guanyu was extremely ashamed, and his uncle came forward to get things done, which brought out his incompetence from the side.

In front of his followers, he said cheekily: "Ye Yunyang is really a guy who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard, he dares not to give face to Young Master Ben, but he doesn't dare not give face to my uncle, what a bullshit hero." ”

The followers echoed and criticized Ye Yunyang.

In the dean's office, Lei Shaoyuan looked at Ye Yunyang with incomprehensible eyes and asked, "What do you think?"

No wonder he couldn't figure it out, because just a few minutes ago, Ye Yunyang made it clear that he would not participate in the competition, and he couldn't do this kind of thing of collecting money for the Elders' Council with a clear conscience.

Ye Yunyang replied: "There are two reasons, the first is that I don't want to cause too much trouble to myself. ”

Ma Guanyu came forward, and then Elder Ma came over in person, with only one purpose, that is, to force him to participate in the competition, if he still refused, with Elder Ma's small-bellied character, he would definitely do more things against him.

Instead of passively waiting for trouble to come to your door and messing yourself up, it is better to avoid trouble early.

In this case, agreeing to participate is the only option.

"Second, if you don't join the elders in the same stream, you can save your reputation. Ye Yunyang stretched out his second finger and said, "But it's far better to work against it, it will definitely be more enjoyable." ”

What he meant was that the purpose of the Huang Elders would be to make money and let them do it for nothing.

After listening to his explanation, Lei Shaoyuan frowned and said, "Are you going to declare war on the Council of Elders?"

"Of course not, the arms can't twist the big legs, I know this very well. He shook his head and said, "I am only making trouble for them in private, and doing my best to keep them from getting what they want, lest they treat them as cattle in captivity, and when they want to eat meat, they will take them out and kill them." ”

Lei Shaoyuan said with some worry: "With your own strength, can you achieve your goal?"

His worries are not unreasonable, one person plays a very little role, don't do it when the time comes, and he accompanies himself, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Ye Yunyang said with a smile: "It's man-made, don't they want to rely on my reputation to improve the level of the game, and when the time comes, they will definitely make a fuss about me, and I will have a chance." ”

If you want to achieve the goal of collecting money, you must control the game, which is the usual practice of the bookmaker.

As a person who has come over, Ye Yunyang knows very well what is boring, and he plans to start from here.

Lei Shaoyuan took a deep breath and said: "The young man is really strong, I don't have the confidence like you, you be careful, don't let people catch the handle, if something happens, it is inconvenient for me to come forward to intercede for you." ”

"Don't worry, I won't lose myself. Ye Yunyang stood up and said, "It's really inconvenient for you to participate in this matter, but if there is any new news, remember to tell me in advance, so as not to make a wrong judgment." ”

The old man's personality has such a thing as uprightness, and don't look at his low status as an elder, he can get access to a lot of news that high-level people can't reach.

For example, the Presbyterian Council does not even know about the first seat of the Senate Presbyterian Council to make money by holding a contest.

"No problem, I'll let you know in advance if there's any news. Lei Shaoyuan said.

On the second day, the registration for the competition officially began.

As the seed team of this competition, the Alliance College has been greatly cared for, and the Presbyterian Council has set up a registration point in the college to facilitate the registration of students.

When Ye Yunyang's three words appeared on the registration list, the whole school was boiling, and the news quickly spread to every corner of the city as if it had grown wings.

Elder Zhao was praising Elder Ma: "It's a good job, with his participation, it's equivalent to a good start, you have to do your best to get the next thing to sit in the village, and you can't make a mistake." ”

Elder Ma was excited in his heart, even if this was completely settled, it was useless for others to be red, he said with a straight face: "Elder Zhao, please rest assured, your post will definitely live up to its mission and successfully complete the task." ”

The registration period lasted until the fifth day, and after a rough count, the total number of participants exceeded 30,000, and after strict screening, some unqualified people were deprived of the right to participate, and the final number was fixed at more than 30,000 and 600.

With so many people participating, the event is definitely a grand event.

In the classroom, Ye Yunyang raised his head and asked Mei Yu, "Why didn't you sign up?"

"Too lazy to go along with some people. Meiyu replied.

She was referring to the matter of the Elders Association collecting money, and Ye Yunyang had already told her about it.

She also raised her head and said, "Dad is busy and almost spinning, just in the past few days of the competition, I will go back to help look after the store." ”

Ye Yun raised his eyebrows: "What, aren't you going to go to the scene to cheer for me?"

She smiled: "With your strength, even if you don't win the championship, you will be among the best, you are a hero, there is no shortage of people to cheer on, there is no more than me, no less than me, no less, isn't it?"

He shrugged: "Also, so be it, I'll go to the Dan Pharmacy to help when there is no competition, so that you can be more relaxed." ”

Mei Yu said happily, "Okay, welcome." ”

On the sixth day, the rules of the competition were released and the list was announced.

According to the age of the applicants, the elders will divide them into three groups, the first group is for people under the age of 18, called the youth group, then the age group is between the ages of 18 and 24, and the last group is for the young group between the ages of 24 and 30.

The competition is divided into three stages, namely the knockout round, the semi-final and the final.

The knockout round and semi-final adopt a one-on-one elimination system, each group of players has three minutes of time, the winner advances to the next round, the loser is automatically eliminated, and the player who cannot be separated within the specified time will be eliminated together.

In addition, latecomers are automatically eliminated and opponents are automatically promoted.

Violators of the rules are eliminated, and there are five major rules and several rules in the competition.

First, participants are not allowed to wear metal armor, including light armor, heavy armor, and any chain mail and goose armor based on metal parts, and heavy leather armor is also among them.

This is to encourage the contestants not to wear armor, after all, it is a competition and not desperate, and it is not necessary to wear such thick armor.

Second, there is no need to use concealed weapons, as well as any kind of ranged attack weapons, including Qimen weapons with telescopic functions.

Third, it is not allowed to take pills during the competition.

Fourthly, no one is allowed to interfere in the game, and if there is a violation, it will be dealt with severely, and the player who is helped will be disqualified from continuing the game, and the opponent will automatically advance.

Fifth, you must not attack the players before the game, and you must not retaliate after the game, and if you violate the crime, it is equivalent to Article 4.

These regulations appear fair and impartial, and there is nothing wrong with them.

Three days later, the competition officially began, and the competition venue was in full swing, and the Presbyterian Council chose the square in front of the gate of the Alliance Elders' House and arranged a hundred temporary rings.

At the same time, several bookmakers released the news that in the knockout rounds and semi-finals, each game is based on a handicap of one to two, and everyone can bet freely, with no limit.

This is interesting, because not every game can be divided into winners and losers, a draw is considered a loss for both sides, all the gambling funds go to the bookmaker, and the referee's provisional judgment for violating the rules will fundamentally affect people's judgment of the outcome.

In this way, the bookmaker will make a steady profit in the knockout round and the rematch.

By the time it comes to the final, the number of players is smaller, people's bets are more concentrated, and the bookmakers are easier to control.

I have to admit that although it was the first time to gamble, the elders still managed to do everything, which made Ye Yunyang realize that things were not so easy to solve.

In other words, in the knockout and rematch stages, he can only bet on himself to ensure that he is invincible, and as for other people's games, it is not something he can control at all.

He took out all his savings during this period, including the two hundred taels of purple gold he received from the Mei family at the earliest, and the rewards he received for meritorious service later, adding up to more than two thousand taels.

Take out two thousand taels as a gambling book, and keep the rest as pocket money.

Carrying more than 100 pounds of money, he came to the nearest betting point, people's enthusiasm for gambling exceeded his expectations, the small betting point was crowded with people, so lively.

In front of the counter, someone shouted at the top of his voice: "Don't squeeze, come one by one, there is still a long time before the first round of the game, everyone can bet smoothly, why rush?"

No one listened to him, and a person standing in front shouted in a higher voice: "I will press Liu Xiaodong to win, one hundred taels of purple gold, open a gambling ticket quickly!"

"Hey, this ticket hasn't been stamped yet, why did you give it to me, am I stupid?"

"Three hundred taels of purple gold, press Sun Yuming! Another three hundred taels, press Ye Yun to win!"

"Three hundred taels is nothing, I will press three thousand taels!"

Ye Yunyang, who was standing behind, carried the sack in his hand, originally thinking that two thousand taels was a large amount, but he didn't expect these guys to be three thousand taels as soon as they opened their mouths.

Sure enough, as Lei Shaoyuan said, the Protoss who inherited the inheritance of relatives and friends are very rich, and because the money is easy to come by, it is not distressing to spend it at all.

If it weren't for his hatred of the Presbyterian Church, he would have found it a subtle move, stimulating consumption and enthusiasm for everyone, and helping managers solve the fiscal deficit.

When he put two thousand taels of purple gold on the counter and reported the three words Ye Yunyang, no one showed a surprised expression, whether it was the guy who collected the gambling or the onlookers around, it seemed that everyone had become accustomed to it.

In the distance, Elder Ma's carriage stopped at the corner of the alley.

He himself sat in the car, lifted the curtain with one hand, looked at the lively scene of people coming and going at the betting point, and said with a smile: "This is the first round of the game, and even the number of games has not been decided, so many people are in a hurry to bet, and making money is so simple." ”

Suddenly, he saw Ye Yunyang leave with a gambling ticket, and he smiled even more happily: "Haha, I thought this kid was so high, and in the end he was also a layman! Go and inquire about how much money he invested, whether it was in his own name." ”

After receiving the exact answer, Elder Ma showed a look of disdain, believing that everything was under his control.
