Chapter 43: The Leaderboard

"The second floor of this attic has a completely different role than the first floor, and you can see that there are a lot of people coming to this attic from the outside, but most of them don't stay on the first floor, do you know why?" Shi Meng said with a smile as he led the way ahead.

Yuan Chen shook his head and said that he didn't know, but Yunxi on the side thought in his heart, "This Shi Meng's brain is funny, if we know, I will ask you what you are doing." ’

Shi Meng did not give the two of them an answer in time, but led everyone to the staircase, and when everyone reached the top, Shi Meng suddenly pushed open the gate of Huijin in front of him, and suddenly shouted: "Because the second floor of this attic is the paradise of gamblers, and the official handicap of Qingsu City is located." ”

·······

When the door was pushed open by Shi Meng, Yuan Chen could be said to be completely shocked by the scene in front of him.

Only at the gate, there are not many people, and the rest of the place starts from the second level gate, and the entire surrounding arc is full of people.

Remember, it's the crowd, not the people!

Yuan Chen said that he had never seen so many people in a one-story building at once, and he originally thought that rubbing shoulders was an exaggeration, but when Yuan Chen really saw it, he found that this statement was all depicted small.

Yuan Chen also understood why Shi Meng spoke so loudly just now, no wonder, when Shi Meng pushed open the door, a noisy and noisy sound like thunder came to the surface, so that Yuan Chen really realized the existence of sound waves, and at the same time, Yuan Chen also sighed in his heart that the sound insulation effect of this second layer of the gate is really good, if it was another door, it might be directly shattered by the sound of this volume.

There is no place to sit in this second floor, and even the supporting facilities of ordinary casinos are not available, and the reason for this does not need to be explained by others, Yuan Chen himself can guess that these things must be vacated because they take up too much space.

And now all that is left on the second level is a variety of markets, except for the four life passages to the outside world, all the other positions against the wall have set up markets, and the participants are waiting in a circle surrounded by many markets.

Of course, the decoration of the hall on the second floor is not as luxurious as the hall on the first floor, in order to allow bettors to clearly watch the specific movements of the leaderboard, thousands of lights are installed on the second floor of the entire attic, which fully ensures the overall brightness of the second floor of the attic.

Behind each market is a large leaderboard, which is mainly divided into four parts, namely the first division, the second division, the third division, and the fourth division, and the list of each division contains the names of fifty contestants and what the competitor obtained such rankings, these reasons are clearly indicated on the leaderboard, of course, this is also to facilitate those who bet on betting.

Although the contestants in the four major regions on this ranking can only show the top 50 of the prediction, but in fact, this is enough for a contestant like Yuan Chen, after all, if you can't even enter the top 50 of the four major regions, let alone the top 50 competitions to be held in the future, and the people who can be predicted to be in the top 50 of each major region of the leaderboard, it can be said that these people are the elite participants in each major region, except for a few dark horses, basically the eight people who go to the final division will be produced in these people, so whether it is a bettor or a participant, most of the attention is given to the people on this leaderboard。

Shi Meng took Yuan Chen and others to one of the handicaps, and standing on the betting table in front of the handicap, he could clearly see all the dynamics of the leaderboard behind the handicap.

Soon after everyone took a stand, they looked at the leaderboard behind the market, starting with the first division, followed by the second division, and then the third division······

"Twenty-seventh in the second division, Yunxi, I saw you. Yuan Chen pulled Yunxi's arm beside him and said.

········

Really saw the ranking of the prediction leaderboard, Yuan Chen only knew what the significance of this ranking for the bettor, starting from the top sixty-four, every time the top few battles can be placed under the bet, of course, the biggest bet before entering the main venue is to select the top two in each division to qualify.

And because the biggest bet is the highest odds, so the number of bets and the amount of bets is also the highest, in order to win more profits, the official bet on the amount of the bet after the name of each contestant, which is also equivalent to a gimmick, to inspire more people to bet.

Just now at the moment when he saw Yunxi's ranking, Yuan Chen saw Yunxi's name and had a logo of 50,000 gold coins, which means that the amount currently bet on Yunxi has been as high as 50,000 gold coins, which means that these people use these 50,000 gold coins to bet that Yunxi is one of the last two people in his competition area.

Yunxi ranked twenty-seventh among the fifty people in his group, if ordinary people go to bet, they will rarely bet on the people at the bottom of the ranking, after all, no one's money is blown by the wind, and it is very likely that ordinary people will not invest a lot of money in it.

The official also thought of this problem, if they marked the bet amount behind the name of the contestant, and those contestants at the bottom of the ranking basically did not bet, the huge comparison before and after the ranking would not affect the enthusiasm of the contestants or whether it would cause any other bad effects, etc.

Therefore, in order to solve these problems as much as possible, the official has come up with a corresponding policy, the more players on the prediction list are ranked lower, the higher the odds of this person, for example, Yunxi, who is ranked 27th, bets that his odds are 1 to 10, and the odds of the 50th contestant in the competition area are as high as 1 to 100, and the official relies on adjusting the odds of the contestants to ensure that even the contestants who are ranked behind will still have someone to bet.

This means that if you bet on a 50th ranked player for a gold coin, if this player successfully qualifies for one of the two places in the four major regions, then you will be rewarded with 100 gold coins, such a high reward will of course make many gamblers flock to it, after all, anyone can be the lucky one, they all have that luck in their hearts, basically 'what if my bet wins?' ’

This also ensures that even if the contestants are very low, there are still people betting, and even the contestants in the bottom few are betting for more people, after all, the odds on them are too outrageous, if the bet wins, then these people who bet are making a lot of money, and now the game has not yet begun, and no one knows whether the last few contestants on the ranking will become a dark horse.

Moreover, some speculators will also deliberately bet to disrupt the odds, they will raise funds to invest money in each participant, and the odds of the people they want to bet on are relatively high, but the odds of those who must lose will be lowered, which will give those ordinary bettors a signal, after all, only the greater the probability of winning, the lower the odds, many people will fancy this and follow, and speculators will benefit from it, because these people have more accurate information in their hands, and the information of many contestants marked by the official ranking is from the hands of these speculators, so these little tricks made by speculators, the official is also turning a blind eyeAfter all, let many punters vote for those who are bound to lose, and the official will make more money, and in a win-win situation, the official will not care much about these things.

········

"Hey, I saw it too, am I going to burp! Are we a group of death? Oh my God..." Yunxi pulled his hair with both hands and said as if he couldn't accept reality.

"What's wrong, what's going on? Yuan Chen looked at Yunxi suspiciously.

"Brother Yuanchen, if you look at who the top few people in Yunxi's group are, you will know. Shi Meng on the side said speechlessly.

"Top ·····" Yuan Chen's gaze continued to look up along Yunxi's position.

As Yuan Chen's gaze moved up to the top few people in the second division prediction leaderboard, Yuan Chen also had to admire Yunxi's luck.

"The first place in the prediction of the second division - Jiang Yuchuan, a member of the Jiang family of the hidden family, a bronze-level pharmacist, once successfully refined a medium-grade bronze-level spiritual liquid, with a bet of 150 million gold coins, and the odds are 0.01 to one."

"The second place in the prediction of the second division - He Mu, a member of the He family of the hidden family, a bronze-level pharmacist, once successfully refined a medium-grade bronze-level spiritual liquid, with a bet of 140 million gold coins, and the odds are 0.02 to one"

"The third place in the prediction of the second division - Crazy Shark, a person from the Pharmacists Guild of Qingsu City, a bronze-level pharmacist, once successfully refined the first grade bronze-level spiritual liquid, with a bet of 100 million gold coins, and the odds are 0.05 to one"

"Fourth place in the prediction of the second division - Huang Ling, a person from Qingsu City Elixir Zhai, a bronze-level pharmacist, although there is no specific case of refining the elixir, but it is rumored that this woman can refine the medium-grade bronze-level elixir alone, with a bet of 90 million gold coins, and the odds are 0.06 to one."

·······

When he saw the fourth place, Yuanchen didn't dare to look any further, it wasn't that Yunxi said that he had entered a group of death, and even Yuanchen at this time wondered if Yunxi had used up his life's misfortune, although the latter two groups of Yuanchen hadn't seen it yet, but just now his eyes swept over the members of the first group, and it was predicted that the first place in the first division A person named Zhang Tong was a bronze-level pharmacist, and the other contestants were less than two people who could refine the medicine powder.

Yuan Chen really didn't know how to cheer for Yunxi, fortunately, this elixir conference competition was to select the two best contestants from each region to enter the quarterfinals, if these people were allowed to compete together, it was estimated that the people who could compete with Yunxi's group to enter the quarterfinals would be the top three predictions in other regions.
