"It's not easy after these rounds. Xiaolong has suffered enough." Sun Renyi said with a wry smile.
"Oh! It's so difficult for Brother Yu!" Wan Yanfeng sighed as he looked at the rules.
"Believe him!" Ying Kongxiu smiled.
"China's cultivation world is really amazing, such a difficult competition." Pan Fengtan said, shaking his head.
The audience was chattering, very interested in the rules of this competition, and also looking forward to a wonderful game.
"Beep...beep...beep...five minutes countdown to the game!"
At this time, the betting information appeared on the big screen. Yu Xiaolong was ranked first, and the betting amount was 150,000,000. The others' bets were slightly lower.
"Huh? Why is it so low this time? That's wrong! Where is the person who supports Xiaolong? Why are the others so low?" Zhang Xiaosheng asked in confusion.
Before he finished speaking, the numbers changed. Yu Xiaolong's betting amount increased to 270,000,000, still ranking first. The amounts of the other four people also increased.
"Are there so few people placing bets this time? Why are they so low?" Zhou Kai couldn't understand.
"Haha, let's make these bets. Small retail investors are useless. It's mainly the big investors who can decide everything." Xie Tianyun said with a smile.
"Uh... Xiaolong is still number one anyway!" Zhou Kai shook his head and laughed.
"Haha, there are still three minutes left before the betting stops. It's hard to tell the result. I always feel something is wrong." Sun Renyi stroked his mustache and frowned slightly.
Just after he finished speaking, the number was refreshed again, and Yu Xiaolong's number was 290,000,000, ranking second. The first one is 360000000.
"Ouch, how come you're in second place!" Wang Tianxiang couldn't help shouting.
While he was talking, the numbers changed again.
Yu Xiaolong ranked first with 490,000,000, and second place was 470,000,000.
"Damn it! What kind of rhythm is this? It's so ups and downs. What are those big shots doing?" Zhou Kai couldn't stand it anymore and kept shaking his head.
"Beep...beep...beep, one minute countdown!"
Sun Renyi looked at Ye Gufeng, then turned his head and stared at the big screen, as if waiting for something.
With five seconds left on the countdown, the last display before stopping betting showed that Yu Xiaolong ranked last with 65,000,000 yuan, the first was 890,000,000, and the fourth was 670,000,000.
"Huh?" Zhou Kai counted the four numbers carefully, three times in a row, and said doubtfully: "Xiaolong is only over 60 million? The fourth place is more than 600 million? What does this mean? Why is it reduced?"
"Haha... As expected." Sun Renyi smiled and looked at Ye Gufeng, who also smiled silently.
"Blind Sun, please tell me!" Zhou Kai grabbed his shoulder impatiently.
Everyone else looked at Sun Renyi, while Pan Fengtan was still counting the numbers.
"Several forces took advantage of the opportunity of this competition to make a fortune, but their opponents used the betting rules of the competition to trick them." Sun Renyi nodded and smiled.
"Don't be pretentious, finish talking!" Zhou Kai was very depressed.
"In the games a few days ago, the people who bet on Xiaolong were very high-profile. They raised the bet amount to the maximum almost every time, which created a false impression for others. In the final final, both sides were testing it at the beginning, so in the second The first time the price was very low, but the second time they added more funds to support Xiaolong. The other party thought it was starting to show strength, but it still had reservations the second time and was testing. The third time, Xiaolong suddenly increased its price significantly. The amount of bets made the other party completely believe it. The last time, the person who supported Xiaolong withdrew all the bets, leaving only the small retail investors, but the other party added too many. According to the betting rules this time , if Xiaolong becomes the number one, then that force will lose about... 4.5 billion!" Sun Renyi analyzed.
"Oh no! So if Xiaolong doesn't take first place, whoever bets the most will take first place?" Zhou Kai asked hurriedly.
"In that case, although that person or force did not lose money, they would make very little." Xie Tianyun answered first.
"Ayun is right, haha." Sun Renyi said with a smile.
"Why are they playing like this?" Ying Kongxiu didn't know what he meant.
"I estimate that both of them, or several parties, are usually enemies. After this competition, one of them was severely fooled!" Ye Gufeng thought.
"Isn't that idle! Doesn't the party that withdraws the money make nothing? Isn't it interesting?" Zhou Kai snorted.
"Haha... Little Fatty, you don't understand again. Do you think they are short of money? The focus of their game is not money, but... face or other purposes. If my analysis is good, the party that loses the most will not lose money this time. If you dare to say it's over, you will at least vomit blood!" Sun Renyi said with a smile.
"It's really... full!" Zhou Kai waved his hand.
"Haha... That's the case with many things. Anything that can be solved with money is nothing. Influence, face, power, etc. are much more important than money. Just wait and see, there are complexities and conflicts behind them that most of us can't see. Dark. After this competition, the practice world will definitely not be peaceful." Sun Renyi sneered.
"Then...the players in this competition are just their chess pieces and toys?" Liu Mingqiang was very annoyed. He couldn't stand the messy things.
"You can say that! However, it will not have a big impact on the players. Those things are not ours to worry about. As long as Xiaolong can achieve good results, it will be fine." Sun Renyi said.
Countless spectators were very surprised by the dramatic changes in the betting information, and the entire stadium was filled with chatter.
The five players have been teleported through the formation at this time, and are standing at the edge of the island in five different spaces.
Yu Xiaolong looked up at the blue sky, then at the tree-lined island, took a deep breath, and resolutely entered the jungle.
He touched the tall trees and the tender green leaves, and it seemed like it was real. In fact, all this is true, there is no illusion.
But Yu Xiaolong knew that he was the only one in this world, and this was just a temporary space set up for the competition.
He also knows very well that every move he makes will appear on the big screen, so that tens of thousands of people inside and outside the stadium can see it. Yu Xiaolong always felt awkward, as if there was always a pair of eyes peeking at him.
But he soon stopped caring about it, whether he liked it or not, he wasn't stupid anyway.
This island is not too small. Most of the area is covered with trees, and a mountain can be seen in the distance.
Will twenty wooden men appear? Does getting the items on them mean defeating them? I don’t know what kind of wooden person he is, whether he is powerful or not.
Yu Xiaolong thought about these things and searched while walking in the forest.
After passing through a bush, he stood in a small clearing and looked around.
"Ka...ka...ka."
There was a strange voice coming from the side.
Yu Xiaolong looked at the direction of the sound warily, secretly waiting for it to finally come. He imagined what the wooden man looked like.
A figure flashed out from the bushes. Yu Xiaolong took a closer look and saw that it was indeed a wooden figure, more than one meter tall. Six sticks of different lengths formed a human shape. The design was extremely simple, just like a child's toy.
