Outside the Shenwu Star Tower.
In the square, the relatives, friends and old friends of the hundreds of Martial King teams who were rushing to the tower, as well as the more than 100,000 people from the imperial dynasty who had nothing to do, gathered in groups and excitedly discussed the situation of the various Martial King teams rushing to the tower.
Among the bustling crowds, many vendors were hawking in the square, peddling their various "rare treasures" that could be used to attack the tower.
Of course, the hottest thing is the handicap offered by the major gambling houses in the Imperial City.
The Shenwu Star Tower Climb once a month is almost the most popular time for the major gambling houses in the imperial city. Because there is a fixed ranking once a month, the opening of gambling houses has almost become a routine.
For the sake of convenience, those big gambling houses opened the market directly in Shenwu Plaza, betting on which team had the highest ranking, which teams could make it into the top ten, or which teams would be at the bottom.
As long as someone dares to bet, there is nothing that is not bet.
"The Star Tower Ranking Handicap of Holy Hand Gambling House this month has opened. The minimum bet is one Yuan Stone, the lowest is one Yuan Stone! Don't suffer a loss with one Yuan Stone, and don't be fooled with one Yuan Stone! Everyone bet on each Martial King squad this month, in Shenwu The final ranking of the Star Tower. Who can come out on top? Who can win the crown? The winner of the Holy Hand is all in the Holy Hand Casino!"
"The Miaoshou Casino is open with great success. The three most popular teams to attack the tower this month are Princess Ji Rouyu's team! Wenbai's team in the later stage of King Wu, and Qiu Zihang's team. Who will win? Come and bet as soon as possible, wait and see!"
"Who will soar to the sky this month and dominate the crowd! Who will be at the bottom and become the laughing stock of the imperial city? Different Martial King teams have different odds. You can watch the odds and bet as much as you like. Good News Gambling House will accept everyone who comes. Just ask With a piece of Yuan Stone, you can bet on the future of a team! The world of Shenwu is in my hands!"
Under the instigation of the gambling houses, the crowd gathered in Shenwu Square couldn't help but spend some spare money to place bets, ranging from a few yuan to tens or hundreds, on the team they were optimistic about.
The weapon refiners of the Cao Mansion were not surprised that the Cao Mansion team was at the bottom. Most of the time, the Cao Mansion team is often the bottom character in the Star Tower.
But the Great Elder Huayuan of the Beast Emperor Pavilion, as well as other team captains and cabinet members such as Le Jing, Han Ziyi, Ye Jinlong, etc., felt a little cold when they saw the ranking list.
They looked at the ranking list outside the stone tower, and quickly fell into pessimism from their initial excitement and anticipation.
The Cao Mansion team composed of Cao Hong, Ye Fan and others actually ranked at the bottom of more than ninety places among all the one hundred King Wu teams.
"how so?"
"The strength of the Pavilion Master and Deputy Pavilion Master is considered to be the best among the early stages of King Wu. Even if they take action, they are enough to surpass most of the early stage teams of King Wu. Why is the Cao Mansion team at the bottom of the tower? , falling into the 90th place?!"
"That's right, this is so weird!"
They were all a little confused.
Of course, the people in the Beast Emperor Pavilion knew how powerful Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue were in combat. The two of them fought their way in and out surrounded by hundreds of Martial Kings on the Floating Cloud Star Island in the Ancient Land of the Ancestral Gods, killing five or six Martial Kings without being harmed.
Even Gu Huo and others, the early martial masters of the Purple Phoenix Sect, could not sustain even one or two moves in the hands of Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue.
Could it be that the martial kings in Zixuan Imperial City are far more powerful than other places and their fighting power is so strong? Even top martial arts masters like Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue can't have any advantage here? !
Great Elder Huayuan and the others were a little confused, and they couldn't figure out what was going on in the tower for a while.
"I want to stake a thousand yuan stones!"
Among the crowd near the Star Tower, an old man in gray looked at the ranking list of Star Tower and shouted excitedly.
Dozens and hundreds of primeval stones are all small single bets. As for thousands of yuan stones, this is already a single bet, which is relatively rare.
"What do you want to bet on?"
A steward from the Holy Hand Casino asked immediately.
"I bet Cao's team will be at the bottom in this tower rush, the last ten!"
The old man in gray waved a bag of Yuan stones and shouted excitedly.
The steward of the Holy Hand Casino immediately accepted the Yuan Stone from the old man in gray and laughed: "Okay! The Cao Mansion team is weak. This team has a high probability of being at the bottom of the tower this month, and the odds are very low. , only ten accompany one."
Usually when people play, they bet on the top ten or the top three.
Very few people will press which team is at the bottom. This is tantamount to declaring that they are very unfavorable to a certain team. In serious cases, it can even be regarded as a public humiliation.
This winning single bet of one thousand yuan stones immediately attracted the attention of many people around him.
"Hey, aren't you Yan Shi'en, Master Yan? You are a master of weaponry who came from the Cao family. Why are you cursing the Cao family's team for being at the bottom?"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd recognized the old man in gray and shouted strangely.
"They are already at the bottom. This is obvious. How can I call it a curse? It's just a fact!"
The old man in gray grunted in defense.
"Ha, what's so strange about this! Yan Shi'en had offended Princess Ji Rouyu earlier, and the Xuanbing Pavilion and the Weapon Refining Workshop in Manhuang City didn't dare to take him in. Later, the Cao Mansion saw him as pitiful and took him in as a concierge, but I don't know Why did he commit a crime and was expelled again? He was expelled from the school by Cao Mansion a long time ago and is no longer a member of Cao Mansion. He must be resentful of Cao Mansion and wishes that Cao Mansion's team was at the bottom!"
Someone in the crowd knew the details and immediately revealed the inside story.
"I see!"
"It turns out that he was kicked out of the Cao Mansion and couldn't even serve as a concierge. No wonder he resented the Cao Mansion so much that he went to arrest the Cao Mansion to be the bottom one! This is to humiliate the Cao Mansion team!"
Suddenly, there was another uproar and laughter among the crowd.
Master Yan's old background was exposed, and his face suddenly became extremely red.
He deliberately placed a single bet of 1,000 yuan stones on Cao Mansion's team to be at the bottom, hoping that everyone would see how weak Cao Mansion's team was.
If he didn't make a big bet, Cao's team would be very inconspicuous among the many bottom teams, and no one would care at all.
As expected, his bet attracted many people's attention to the weak Cao Mansion team.
He could not only humiliate the Cao Mansion team, but also take advantage of the opportunity to make a small sum of money, which naturally made him feel happy.
Master Yan didn't know how to refute, so he could only hum and said: "I... I'm such a villain! I'm just placing bets for fun. Why, since the betting market has been opened, do you still prohibit others from placing bets? Can't do it?!"
"Yan, don't be so shameless. You committed a crime and were kicked out of the Cao Mansion, but here you bite the Cao Mansion! A person with ulterior motives still has the nerve to say that he is not a villain!"
Some of the weapon refiners in the Cao Mansion started yelling at Master Yan when they saw Master Yan betting that the Cao Mansion team would be at the bottom.
Han Ziyi was furious and immediately raised his voice: "One thousand yuan stones, I bet that Cao's team will be in the top ten! Which gambling shop will accept my bet?" For a Wuhou, thousands of yuan stones are already enough. Not a small sum of money.
It was actually another single bet worth thousands of yuan stones.
The crowd of hundreds of feet around suddenly fell silent, looking at Han Ziyi in disbelief, followed by a burst of laughter.
"Girl, you think you have too many Yuan stones, so you are throwing Yuan stones into the water!"
"Girl, just now Master Yan accused Cao Mansion's team of being at the bottom. Although he looked down upon them, it is still a fact. Your belief that Cao Mansion's team was ranked in the top ten is even more outrageous than Master Yan. A miscellaneous team of weapon refiners like Cao Mansion, If you want to be in the top ten of the tower, the sow can fly up the treetops and turn into a phoenix! You will definitely lose everything."
The crowd around him burst into laughter again.
This kind of random bet is like giving free money to the gambling house, and it will all be lost.
"This girl is so brave! We accept the girl's bet!"
The steward of Shengshou Gambling House immediately accepted Han Ziyi's bet with a smile on his face and wrote a bet slip: "The probability of Cao Mansion's team entering the top ten in the tower this month is extremely low. It is almost impossible. I will pay you for it." The rate is extremely high, you will pay ten per one! But there is a chance in everything. If you really break into the top ten, the girl will make a lot of money, and the benefits will be doubled directly. This is your bet slip, girl, keep it. You can make a claim based on the documents, and we are not responsible for the loss of the deposit!"
…
A restaurant near the square.
When Jiang Yi, Xia Houyue and Chai Song saw the crowds surging in Shenwu Square, they were all betting enthusiastically on the final tower-rushing record of each team. They couldn't help but feel very interesting.
The final results of the Shenwu Star Tower's tower rankings will not be released in a short time. Everyone is idle and bored, so they naturally take pleasure in gambling.
"It's interesting at this time. Mr. Xiahou and Mr. Chai, why don't we also have some fun?"
"Oh, how do you want to play, Mr. Jiang?"
"I bet 10,000 yuan stones on Cao's team to be at the bottom, the last ten!"
Jiang Yi laughed, waved to the maid on the side, took out 10,000 yuan stones and told her to place a bet.
Rather than placing the three Royal Guards teams at the top, he would rather place the Cao Mansion team at the bottom, which would give him an inexplicable pleasure.
It was as refreshing as hitting Ye Fan in the face with a lot of yuan stones.
"Master Jiang is so disdainful of the Cao Mansion team that he is willing to give out 10,000 yuan stones!"
"However, we are also heroes and see the same thing!"
"Haha, if that's the case, then we'll accompany them and help them finish last, which can be considered a celebration for us!"
Xia Houyue and Chai Song looked at each other and smiled, each placing a bet of 10,000 yuan.
The bet on the Cao Mansion team is almost guaranteed to win without losing. The odds are ten to one, and they can earn a thousand yuan stones at once. It's like I got my money back from the food and drinks in this box today, and I can still make a small fortune.
Soon, three large single bets of 10,000 Yuan Stone were delivered to a steward of Shengshou Gambling House.
Three large single bets of 10,000 yuan stones were placed on the Cao Mansion team to be at the bottom, which immediately caused a huge uproar and sensation among the crowd in the square.
The gamblers in the square usually just play with small single bets of tens or hundreds of yuan stones. Almost no one would place such a large single bet for no reason.
Even if someone makes a big bet, they are just betting on the top ten or three.
Who would deliberately care about those trash teams at the bottom?
But now, an unknown team from the Cao Mansion was actually bet 30,000 yuan stones on them, betting that they would be at the bottom of all the teams.
This is more than the large single bets placed by the top three teams in this tower attack.
This kind of naked contempt is clearly belittling and humiliating the Cao Mansion team, letting everyone know how weak the Cao Mansion team is.
The crowd in Shenwu Square couldn't help but secretly guess who "cares" so much about the performance of Cao's team and wished they were at the bottom.
