He exhaled softly, put his thoughts back, turned to look at the maid in white standing respectfully beside him, and said:
"Xiao Qin, I heard from my friend before that you have three ways of betting, one of which is called the prize pool mode."
"I would like to ask...how many spiritual stones have been accumulated in the current prize pool?"
The maid in white heard this and replied without thinking:
"Reporting to the Immortal Master, according to the latest statistics, the current accumulated amount of spiritual stones in the prize pool is a total of 35,462."
Jiang Fan was a little surprised when he heard the reply.
This number was much higher than I expected.
He thought for a moment and continued to ask:
"How many roulette slots can your Yunling Palace open every day? How many monks are there who place bets every round on average?"
The maid in white still didn't hesitate in her answer:
"Reporting to the Immortal Master, the average number of handicaps opened here every day is twelve. As for the monks who place bets in each round, the average number is one hundred and fifty."
After hearing this data, Jiang Fan lowered his head and pondered for a while.
I had heard Li Qingshan say before that among the children living in this inner city called Juxian Palace, less than a hundred of them could successfully awaken their spiritual roots and become monks every year.
I took the number ninety and calculated that it would take an average of four days for each such person to appear, and a total of forty-eight rounds of handicap.
In this prize pool mode, betting on waste spiritual roots is not allowed.
Therefore, after deducting those permutations and combinations belonging to the waste spiritual roots, there are only sixty possibilities left.
With the number of one hundred and fifty people, it is enough to cover these sixty possibilities twice.
In other words, once a child successfully awakens the spiritual roots in his body, the probability that the prize pool will be cleared is infinitely close to 100%.
The number of forty-eight rounds, multiplied by one spiritual stone betted by one hundred and fifty monks, equals 7,200 spiritual stones.
Of course, the time when children successfully awaken their spiritual roots will not be too fixed. There may be two or three children in a row, and then a fourth one will appear every ten days and 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 spiritual stones, accumulated in nearly twenty days.
The possibility that a child who can awaken his spiritual roots does not appear in twenty days is a little too small.
Could it be that Yunling Palace was doing something behind the scenes?
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan raised his head and looked at the maid in white next to him with doubtful eyes.
The maid in white felt the emotion in Jiang Fan's eyes and smiled slightly.
Perhaps because she had heard many similar questions and already had experience, she explained in advance before the latter asked:
"Master Immortal, there is no need to be confused. This is a very normal number. You will understand after I explain it to you."
"As you know, our Yunling Palace will provide immortal masters like you with booklets recording the childhood experiences of immortal children."
"When the immortal masters bet, in order to ensure that they can bet on accurate answers as much as possible, they will basically refer to our booklet to choose the type and attributes of the spiritual roots to bet."
"Therefore, most of the spiritual stones will be concentrated on the same spiritual root type and attribute, and the remaining small amount of spiritual stones will also be concentrated on close options."
“Basically there will not be a situation where all possibilities are covered.”
"This method of selection has both good and bad qualities."
"Generally speaking, if the childhood experience of the fairy boy who successfully awakened his spiritual roots is verified by our Yunling Hall, these fairy masters have a greater chance of betting accurately and successfully clearing the prize pool."
"But if we cannot verify the childhood experience of this fairy boy, then the recorded information may be mixed with some misleading things."
"At this time, the immortal masters will basically be led astray by this information and put most of the spiritual stones on the wrong answers, causing the spiritual stones in the prize pool to continue to accumulate."
"The probability of this kind of thing happening is not high, but it is not small either."
"And in the last round, we just encountered this kind of thing."
"Because the amount of spiritual stones in the prize pool was too high, there was another round of fanatical betting, and the number of spiritual stones in the prize pool was increased to more than 35,000."
"Although this kind of situation is rare, it has happened several times. It is a normal situation."
After the maid in white finished explaining, she lowered her head slightly, lowered her hands in front of her body, and said no more words.
After listening to this, Jiang Fan fell into deep thought.
He was leaning on the backrest of the Taishi chair, stroking his chin with one hand, and resting his other hand on the side, tapping the armrest with his knuckles unconsciously.
After thinking for a long time, he found no obvious loopholes in the words of the maid in white, so he raised his head, pointed at the two children in the formation below, and asked:
"In the current roulette, which one is the bet on?"
The maid in white heard this and immediately replied:
"Reporting to the Immortal Master, the person betting on this roulette wheel 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 it that boy?"
"Reporting to the Immortal Master, yes."
Jiang Fan thought for a moment, took out a spiritual stone from his storage bag, threw it to the maid in white, and said:
"This round, in the prize pool mode, I bet on Shen Qiushan, the three spiritual roots of gold, wood, and wind."
This was obviously a wrong choice. He was just pretending to be a cover for the next round.
The boy Yu Yuanliang, whose information records that he had two visions of fire and thunder when he was young, actually has the three spiritual roots of fire, earth and wind in his body, is the real target.
The maid in white took the spirit stone and bowed respectfully.
She turned around and walked to the other side, in front of a quaint desk where the Four Treasures of the Study were placed, and spread out a piece of white rice paper with a special mark and texture.
Then he took out a small writing brush he carried with him and wrote a few beautiful small words on the rice paper.
The maid in white dried the ink, folded the rice paper carefully, and put it into the secret pavilion next to the desk along with the spiritual stone Jiang Fan threw to her.
With the slight sound of the mechanism operating, the spirit stone and the rice paper with the information were sent into the underground secret room together.
Here, there are several figures wearing Yunling Hall's standard clothes who are busy.
They opened the papers passed from each Yingxian Tower, recorded the information on them, and put the spiritual stones sent along with them through another special passage into a huge circular pool.
The top of this circular pool is made of some kind of extremely transparent crystal. In the middle of the crystal, there are three large characters written in golden paint with flying phoenixes.
Treasure pool!
The location of the pool is extremely clever. Any monk who is in the Yingxian Pavilion only needs to walk to the window and lower his head slightly, and he can clearly see through the top of the transparent crystal wall that half the height of the pool is piled with gleaming souls. stone.
These spiritual stones make the entire top of the crystal pool shine with dazzling brilliance.
