Chapter 103: Placing a bet
On the ferry,
Li Xiao and the others were waiting for the arrival of the gladiatorial competition.
During this period, Li Xiao took some food and drink from the storage bag and distributed it to everyone.
He likes to enjoy it on weekdays, so even if he can open the valley, he still has a lot of delicacies from all over the world.
Everyone was immediately shocked, and they worshiped him even more than they had just seen him strong.
It's really that the food here is too bad,
Although in order to ensure their combat effectiveness, they can better fight, please the VIPs, and give them enough food.
But the taste is extremely heavy.
What monster flesh and blood, that's a common thing,
It's not that I haven't drunk strange liquids.
So when Li Xiao took out the food for them to enjoy,
These guys cried bitterly, saying that they couldn't imagine that they would still be able to eat normal food in this life.
The next day,
The boat was buzzing, apparently reveling.
Then, naturally, it's the most popular gladiatorial time.
Several crew guards came to the bottom floor,
Led by a tall two-star weird leader,
"You trash, prepare for me, when you perform well, you will be rewarded, if you don't perform well, then you don't have to come back from the field......"
The leader explained the specific items of this gladiatorial event,
The first thing is the group competition,
The living are divided into groups and fight with other groups of monsters and weird wrestlers.
The leader looked at the cell, and found two dead in the cell.
Naturally, these weird people didn't care, but just took the corpse to dispose of.
"This team competition needs ten people, you ...... you"
As he spoke, the leader pointed at people.
Li Xiao flashed the mark on his hand.
The leader sighed, "There are actually people who are favored by VIPs, it's good, you also play......"
The selected ten people were shackled and shackled to the backstage of the Colosseum.
Each team has a separate lounge area.
Above the rest area, there is a brutal gladiatorial arena.
The living group is the third to appear,
Cheers and whistling came from outside,
Obviously the audience was excited.
The biggest attraction of gladiatorial matches is naturally the bloody battles between various gladiators.
The biggest excitement is that everyone can bet on their favorite teams.
The common currency that the weirders bet on is usually the trick coin.
And some weird and weird coins will use all kinds of strange things to bet when they run out.
For example, some organs in your body,
and even take their own bets,
If you lose, you will naturally become a slave on the Wind Chime cruise ship.
In the midst of enthusiastic cheers,
The first gladiatorial fight began.
Li Xiao and the others couldn't see the gladiatorial scene outside, so they could only wait in the dim backstage lounge.
Roars and screams rang out from the gladiatorial arena above,
The terrible roar showed how brutal and fierce the gladiatorial fight outside was.
Someone listened to this movement and began to tremble uncontrollably.
Because they were told that their opponent was the Yin Beasts.
Yin beast is a very ferocious weird,
Some of them are like demon beasts in the world of cultivating immortals.
Usually, against the team of the Yin Beast team, the end will not be very good.
Originally, when there were more than 100 living slaves, they once faced the Yin Beast Team.
That time, the Living Team not only lost, but also wiped out.
So after hearing that the opponent this time was the Yin Beast team, everyone's faces changed.
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl cowered in a corner shivering.
Although she can be regarded as crawling out of the pile of dead people and living to the present,
But she still couldn't help but be scared and tremble.
Andre comforted, "It's okay, with the boss here this time, we will definitely win......"
The girl looked up at Li Xiao expectantly.
Li Xiao said, "No matter what the opponent is, you can save your life on the side, just don't get in the way......"
Although he said it politely,
But everyone gradually became much more relieved.
Li Xiao thought of a question, "You can bet on the number of gladiatorial fights, right?" Can we place bets ourselves? β
The others were stunned and said they didn't know.
After they were caught, they have been near dying, where is they still in the mood to bet.
And they have almost no money on them,
After being caught, it was looted.
Trick coins are not like props, they can't be traded temporarily after being bound.
As long as you get something in the ghost and sell it to the player, you can get the trick money on it.
For example, in the horror amusement park that Li Xiao cleared, there are stores that sell messy things.
The money on the bodies of these living slaves has long been used to buy food and other life-saving things.
Li Xiao touched his chin and said, "Since there is this kind of play, as long as there is a trick coin, you will definitely be able to bet, this is a good opportunity to make money, you can't miss it......"
Although it is not very useful for him at the moment,
But as long as the trading market is open in the future, it will definitely be able to buy all kinds of things.
So it's definitely good to be able to earn a little more.
So he came to the back door, banged on the door and shouted, "Hey, someone's ......."
The back door opened, and several guards stared at Li Xiao viciously, "What's it called?" Be honest with me, or I'll kill you directly......"
Li Xiao said, "Is it possible to bet on every gladiatorial fight?" β
The guard didn't know why, "yes......"
Li Xiao said, "Then can I bet?" β
Several guards looked at him and quacked, "You're a living slave, and you want to bet too?"
Li Xiao said, "What, is there a rule that living slaves can't bet?" β
The guard was stunned, "Uh, that's not ......"
Li Xiao scolded, "Then what are you talking about, hurry up and find someone who can bet, Lao Tzu wants to place a big bet......"
The guard hesitated, but went to find someone involved.
After a while, a strange man in a suit and leather shoes walked over, nostrils turned to the sky and said, "Who is going to bet?" β
The guard said flatteringly, "Mr. Qian, it's this living slave ......"
Mr. Qian said angrily, "What are you kidding, do living slaves have money to bet?" β
As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave,
Li Xiao said, "Hey, dogs look down on people, right?" How do you know I don't have money to bet? β
Mr. Qian sneered, "You are a living slave, you can have fart money...... Uh......"
He hadn't finished his sentence,
I saw Li Xiao pull out the trick coin panel.
Trick coins are like virtual currencies that can be seen directly on the panel.
Looking at the numbers on it, Mr. Qian was surprised, "You actually have 68,690 trick coins?" β
More than 60,000 coins, it doesn't seem like much,
But if you convert it according to the currency of the world, it is at least a few millions.
You must know that an ordinary one-star ghost snake task will be rewarded with 100 trick coins after completion, and 1000 trick coins will be rewarded for the hidden mission.
Even if it is a two-star hidden mission that is extremely difficult, it is only 10,000 tricks.
And the props that Li Xiao bought in the horror amusement park, the most expensive one-star boutique prop body bag, only sold for 1,000 coins.
In other words, even if it is a two-star boutique item, it is only worth tens of thousands of coins.
He was able to have so many trick coins, naturally because almost all the tasks he had completed were hidden tasks.
Seeing so many tricks, the guards' eyes straightened.
That's a lot of money for a minion like them.
The other living people also let out exclamations when they saw this outrageous number of coins.
They know the gold content of these coins better than the weird.
Everyone looked at each other, and they all showed joy.
They guessed that this boss was not a Samsung boss who had already cleared the Samsung Ghost Snake.
In fact, this guess is not wrong, according to the normal situation, ordinary three-star players are almost equivalent to monks in the foundation building period.
And because most of the strength depends on the companion spirits, there is a weakness of the weak body,
There are not as many means as monks, so in fact, the real strength is worse than that of monks of the same level.
Li Xiao said, "How about it, am I qualified to bet?" β
Mr. Qian's eyes purred, and he changed his smiling face, "Naturally qualified, as long as there is money, everyone is qualified, I don't know what you want to press?" β
Trick coins can't be snatched directly,
The quickest way for them to get their hands on the money is to get them involved in gambling.
Li Xiao said, "If I want to suppress the living team, what projects can I press?" β
Mr. Qian smiled and clicked on a light screen and pushed it in front of Li Xiao.
There are a lot of bets, from the wins and losses of each team, to the number of casualties of each team, and the number of remaining people.
Li Xiao only pays attention to the betting odds of the living team.
The livelier team wins, the odds are 1:7, and the odds are already high.
Apparently the Living Team is not favored.
And their opponent, the Yin Beasts, is odds of 1:0.8.
Just looking at the odds speaks for itself.
Of course, Li Xiao didn't know whether there was a fake match in the gladiatorial fight between the weird.
But regardless of whether there is a match-fixing match or not, as long as he presses the live team to win, he will definitely make a profit.
Because he has absolute confidence in his own strength.
However, he was not busy placing bets, but carefully looked at the betting odds of other living teams.
Then his eyes lit up, "Huh? Odds of 1:100? β
This surprisingly high odds are that the live-fighting team wins, and no one dies, and the opponent is completely wiped out, which is an outrageous record.
It is precisely because this situation is impossible for the bookmaker and everyone to happen, and the probability is zero, that there are such outrageous odds.
But this gave Li Xiao a chance to make a lot of money.
Mr. Qian said, "How about it, have you thought about it?" What to bet and how much? β
Li Xiao pretended to groan, "If you think about it, I'll bet on this."
Mr. Qian looked at the project he was pointing at, and his face was strange, "Are you sure you want to bet on this?"
Li Xiao said, "Sure, take a chance to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle"
Mr. Qian said, "What else do you want to bet on besides this?" β
Li Xiao said, "Don't bet on anything else, just bet on this." β
Mr. Qian pouted, "It seems that you really want to fight, so how much do you want to bet?"
In his opinion, this guy is just pressing and entertaining him, and it is impossible to bet much.
Li Xiao said, "All of them are staked."
Mr. Qian suspected that he had misheard, "How much?"
Li Xiao said, "You can bet directly, right?" β
He didn't bother to pay attention to Mr. Qian, so he clicked on the light screen and thought about it.
All the trick coins are pressed on that one.
And then there are the hints.
Obtain an item: a stake voucher
Li Xiao shook the voucher in his hand, "Okay, it's done." β
Everyone gasped.
Mr. Qian's eyes widened, and then he laughed, "Okay, good, no regrets for betting, good bet......"
Li Xiao also smiled, "If I win, don't rely on your account." β
Mr. Qian smiled, "That's nature, this is the rule, how can you pay the bill." β
In his opinion, the more than 60,000 tricks are already a sure win.
The others were in a hurry.
Andre said anxiously, "Boss, why are you betting all of them, and besides, it is impossible to win this project......"
"That's it, boss, although the odds of 1:100 are very good, but the conditions are too harsh, and it is impossible to win......"
Obviously they don't have much confidence in their team.
To be able to win the game is already very difficult for them to watch.
There should be no casualties and all opponents should be destroyed.
It's simply an impossible task.
Li Xiao said, "Just believe me, if any of you want to get rich, just follow me......
Everyone looked different.
Andre thought about it, and really stepped forward and started betting, "I also left 300 trick coins for emergency, since the boss said so, then I believe the boss and bet all ......"
A few more people came up one after another to bet,
"Made, I have 200 coins left and I'm all-in......"
"I'm betting 100......"
The rest of the people either don't believe in winning and don't want to lose money, or they really don't have any money.
Mr. Qian sneered, "Bet, bet on everything, you live slaves, it's good to survive today, do you really think you can win......
Li Xiao said, "It's not up to you to win or not, just don't rely on the account when the time comes." β
Mr. Qian snorted coldly, put away the light screen, and turned to leave.
The crowd returned to the lounge,
After what happened just now, it aroused some fighting spirit among everyone.
Andre said, "You just underestimate us, do you really think I'm going to lose?" β
"It's just, waiting will make them look good......"
Li Xiao said, "What do you want to do?" I tell you, I'll shrink in a corner later, or hide in a back-to-back formation, don't go up and send it, if one dies, my tens of thousands of tricks won't be wasted......"
Everyone was choked up for a moment, and said, "Okay boss......"
Li Xiao emphasized, "Remember, your task is to don't die for any of the trick coins we bet, you know?" β
The crowd shouted, "Got the boss!!" β
The guards outside heard their momentum and thought they were mobilizing before the war.
Who knows, but he is preparing to avoid the war and flee for his life.
At this time, the gladiatorial battle outside was in full swing,
The audience was enthusiastic.
Each gladiatorial fight has a time limit of a quarter of an hour.
After a quarter of an hour, see which side has fewer casualties, and that side wins.
The winning side can get a reward,
The losing side will accept the punishment proposed by some VIPs.
There is a time limit, so as to avoid both sides being too cautious, always tentative, and the pace is too slow.
At this time, the second game is almost over,
Then it will be the turn of the living team to play.
Amid cheers and boos from the audience, the second was over.
The guard entered the lounge, unshackled everyone, and said, "It's your turn to play, behave well, don't disappoint the VIPs, the pleasure of the VIPs is everything, even if it is to please them with life and blood......"
Li Xiao said, "Pleasing them? They deserve ...... too."
The guard said angrily, "What did you say? β
Li Xiao waved his hand lightly, and the guard flew out upside down, "Get out, don't stop me from entering......"
Everyone stood on the lifting platform,
The platform slowly rose, and the cacophony of voices poured into everyone's ears.
"Next up is the highly anticipated Living Team VS Yin Beast Team ......"
The host introduced the team on the stage, blowing the sky,
This is naturally meant to make the large audience bet more.
Li Xiao looked up and saw that there were at least four or five thousand spectators on the high platform.
These audiences are naturally all kinds of weird.
And what made him feel threatened were a few weirdos sitting on the VIP terrace.
Among them was the Black Lady who had been sitting in a sedan chair.
There are three other three-star weird,
One is a guy wrapped in a tattered white cloth, like a mummy,
There was also a man with a pale face, and a huge monster with one horn and one eye.
Li Xiao said secretly, "Four three-star weird, if you can't challenge the captain with the rules, you really have to run away......"
One three-star weird, or even two, because of the existence of green poison, he can deal with it.
But if it's three, he's definitely not an opponent.
And now there are four of them,
That's why he wants to use the rules to challenge the captain.
As long as you challenge the captain, defeat or capture that guy, not only can you clear this ghost dungeon,
There is a high probability that the ship can be occupied.
At this point, the platform was completely raised into the gladiatorial arena.
Li Xiao received a prompt.
Hidden Mission: Win the final victory in the Gladiatorial Event Challenge.
Li Xiao smiled slightly, "Sure enough, I got the task......"
The champion of each gladiatorial event can receive two special rewards,
One is to directly become the official crew of the Wind Chime cruise ship,
One is to be eligible to challenge the previous champion.
As long as you defeat the previous champion, you can continue to challenge for a higher level of bosses.
Until the end challenges the captain.
Only by defeating the captain can you win the challenge.
No one has ever won this challenge.
Because almost all gladiatorial champions will give up their qualification to challenge and choose to become official crew members.
The treatment of a regular crew is much better than that of a gladiatorial slave.
So no one is going to keep challenging and finally face the terrible captain.
Li Xiao looked around, found no trace of the captain, and asked curiously, "Why didn't you see the captain?" β
AndrΓ© explains, "The captain doesn't show up in the previous gladiatorial events, only in the final championship match......"
Li Xiao nodded, and said secretly, "The captain of this Wind Chime, it hasn't been long since he was promoted, and he shouldn't show up to consolidate his strength......
At this time, the host finished introducing the two teams,
Li Xiao also saw what the Yin Beast on the opposite side looked like.
Those Yin Beasts were like aliens made up of pitch-black liquid.
The head is human, but the body is like a scorpion.
These things are brutal and have a human-like cunning.
The crowd was applauding the Yin Beast team because it was a favorite to win the championship.
And almost no one is optimistic about the living team.
Because the living team has never had a good record.
At this moment, a voice like a scrub sounded, "Black Lady, I heard that you have chosen a living person to be your representative?" β
It was the mummy whose whole body was wrapped in a tattered white cloth.
The voice of the Black Lady came from the sedan chair, "That's true......"
The mummy laughed, "I actually chose a weak living person, it seems that you have given up competing for this reward......"
These three-star VIPs, each of them will take out a precious prop and put it into the prize pool every time they are active.
Then each chooses a gladiator as a representative,
Whoever survives to the end will receive all the item rewards.
If the representative wins the championship, each person will also give an item to that person.
So what they are betting on is more than just betting on tricks.
Some weirdness also laughed, mocking the Black Lady for choosing a living person.
A dangerous aura came out of the sedan chair, which immediately silenced all but a few three-star weirdness.
The ethereal voice said, "Xing Cro, don't laugh too early, your representative is the Yin Beast King, right?" I have a hunch that you're probably going to be out of this game......"
The mummy star Croga Quack smiled strangely, "Premonition of that kind of thing, where will there be strength intuitively, that living person, there is not even the breath of the spirit, how can you think that he can defeat the Yin Beast King I chose?" β
Mrs. Hei said, "Let's wait and see, my hunch has always been very accurate......"
The mummy sneered, "Very good, then wait and see......"
Then he said to the Yin Beast King below, "Did you hear that?" Yin Shi, kill that human being and let it die in the most miserable way, otherwise, you will wait for me to let you die in the most miserable way......"
A Yin beast that was larger than the other Yin beasts raised its head and roared, responding to Xingkro.
The terrifying aura on the Yin Beast King's body came out,
It made all the people in the living team change their faces.
