Chapter Ninety-Four: The Prize Pool
He exhaled softly, withdrew his thoughts, turned his head to look at the white-clothed maid standing respectfully beside him, and said:
"Xiaoqin, I heard from a friend earlier that you have three ways to bet here, and one of them is called the prize pool mode."
"I want to ask...... In today's prize pool, how many spirit stones have been accumulated? ”
When the white-clothed maid heard this, she replied without thinking:
"Returning to the Immortal Master, according to the latest statistics, the total amount of spirit stones accumulated in the current prize pool is 35,462."
Jiang Fan was a little surprised when he heard the reply.
This number is a lot more than I expected.
He thought for a moment and continued to ask:
"How many rounds of handicap can you open every day? How many monks will bet on average per round? ”
The white-clothed maid's answer was still without the slightest hesitation:
"Returning to the Immortal Master, the average handicap opened here every day is twelve rounds, and as for the monks who bet on each round, there are an average of one hundred and fifty people."
Hearing this data, Jiang Fan lowered his head and pondered for a while.
I had heard Li Qingshan say before that the children living in this inner city called Juxian Palace were able to successfully awaken the spiritual root and become monks every year, and there were less than a hundred.
Take the number of 90 yourself, and calculate it, it takes an average of four days for each such person to appear, and a total of 48 rounds of handicap are experienced.
And this kind of prize pool model is not allowed to press the waste spirit root.
Therefore, if you want to subtract those permutations and combinations that belong to the Waste Spirit Root, there are only sixty possibilities left.
With the number of 150 people, it is enough to cover these sixty possibilities twice.
In other words, once a child successfully awakens the spiritual root in the body, the probability of the prize pool being emptied is infinitely close to 100%.
The number of handicaps for forty-eight rounds, multiplied by one spirit stone pressed by each of the 150 monks, is equal to 7,200 spirit stones.
Of course, the time of a child who has successfully awakened the spiritual root will not be too fixed, and it is possible that there will be two or three in a row, and then a fourth one will appear after ten days and half a month.
But despite this, the number of spirit stones in this prize pool is too exaggerated.
Thirty-five thousand four hundred and sixty-two spirit stones, close to twenty days of accumulation.
Twenty days without the appearance of a child who can awaken the spiritual root, this possibility is inevitably a little too small.
Could it be that this Yunling Temple is doing something behind its back?
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan raised his head and looked at the white-clothed maid beside him with a puzzled gaze.
The white-clothed maid felt the emotion contained in Jiang Fan's gaze and smiled slightly.
Perhaps because she had heard many similar questions and had already gained experience, she explained in advance before the latter could ask:
"Immortal Master doesn't need to wonder, this is a very normal number, wait for me to explain it to you, and you will understand."
"As you know, our Yunling Hall will provide immortal masters like you with a booklet that records the experiences of the fairy children when they were young."
"When the immortal masters press, in order to ensure that they can press the accurate answer as much as possible, they will basically refer to our booklet to choose the type and attribute of the spiritual root of the press."
"Therefore, most of the spirit stones will be concentrated on the same spirit root type and attributes, and the remaining small number of spirit stones will also be pressed on the close options."
"It's unlikely that all possibilities will be covered."
"There are good and bad ways of picking."
"Generally speaking, if the immortal child who successfully awakened the spiritual root had a childhood experience, it was the information that had been verified by our Yunling Temple, and these immortal masters had a greater chance of pressing accurately and successfully emptying the prize pool."
"But if the child's childhood experience has not been verified by us, then the information recorded may be mixed with some misleading things."
"At this time, the immortal masters will basically be led astray by this information, and most of the spirit stones will be pressed on the wrong answers, resulting in the situation that the spirit stones in the prize pool continue to accumulate."
"The chance of this kind of thing happening is not big, but it is not small."
"And in the last round, I just happened to encounter this kind of thing."
"Because the amount of spirit stones in the prize pool is too high, it attracted a round of fanatical pressure bets, and the spirit stones in the prize pool were increased to more than 35,000."
"This situation, although rare, has occurred a few times, and it is a normal situation."
After the white-clothed maid finished explaining, she lowered her head slightly, lowered her hands in front of her, and said no more.
After Jiang Fan listened, he fell into deep thought.
He reclined on the back of the Taishi's chair at this time, stroking his chin with one hand, and putting the other hand on the side, his knuckles unconsciously tapping lightly on the armrest.
After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't find any obvious loopholes in the words of the white-clothed maid, so he raised his head, pointed to the two children in the formation below, and asked:
"In this round of handicap now, which one is the object of the bet?"
When the maid in white heard this, she immediately replied:
"Hui Immortal Master, the object of this round of handicap bets is Shen Qiushan."
Shen Qiushan is a girl's name.
After Jiang Fan heard the reply, he continued to ask:
"What about the next round? Is that the boy? ”
"Hui Immortal Master, yes."
Jiang Fan thought about it, took out a spirit stone from the storage bag, threw it to the maid in white, and said:
"In this round, I am in the prize pool mode, and I will press Shen Qiushan for the three spirit roots of Jinmu Feng."
It was clearly the wrong option, and he did it just by pretending to cover for the next round.
In that message, it was recorded that there were two visions of fire and thunder when he was a child, and in fact, the spiritual root contained in his body was Yu Yuanliang, the boy of the three spiritual roots of fire, earth and wind, which was the real target.
The white-clothed maid took the spirit stone and saluted respectfully.
She turned and walked to the other side, in front of a quaint desk with the four treasures of the study, and spread out a piece of white rice paper with a special mark on the texture.
Then he took out a small brush that he carried with him and wrote a few small characters on the rice paper.
The white-clothed maid dried the ink, carefully folded the rice paper, and put it into the dark pavilion next to the desk with the spirit stone that Jiang Fan threw to her.
With the slight sound of the mechanism running, the spirit stone and the rice paper with the information were sent into the underground secret room.
Here, there are several figures wearing the standard costumes of the Yunling Temple are busy.
They opened the paper passed from each Yingxian Tower, recorded the information on it, and by the way, put the spirit stones sent over with them into a huge circular pool through another special passage.
The top of this circular pool is made of some kind of crystal with high transparency, and in the middle of the crystal, there are three big characters written on the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing.
Treasure Pool!
The location of the pool is extremely ingenious, and all the monks who are in the Yingxian Pavilion only need to walk to the window and bow their heads slightly, and they can clearly see through the top of the transparent crystal wall that there are a full half of the pool's high, glittering spirit stones.
These spirit stones shine brightly on the entire crystal pool roof, and the brilliance is dazzling.
