Summer Day, June 30th, 12: 00 AM.
In the World of Heroes, for the first time, the main system announced the odds for the three contestants ahead of time.
Among them, the one with the highest odds was Storm. After all, Storm had been eliminated by Qiao Mo before, and Qiao Mo clearly hadn't used his full strength.
Therefore, when Storm met Qiao Mo again, logically speaking, there was a 90% chance that Storm would lose again.
It was for this reason that the original odds for Storm had reached the level of 1: 9.9.
The official odds for the World of Heroes weren't fixed. Instead, they changed according to the players' purchase.
For example, the original odds for Storm were 1: 9.9. If there were a lot of players who placed bets on Storm, then the system would automatically balance the odds based on the players' bets and lower the odds for Storm.
It was this kind of fluctuating odds that allowed the officials of the World of Heroes to earn a steady profit.
Aside from the extremely high odds for Storm, Blazing Sun Berserker Qiao Mo's odds were extremely low. The original odds were only 1: 1.5. In other words, even if Qiao Mo won after investing 100 copper coins, he would only receive 115 copper coins. This included 100 copper coins, so it was equivalent to only earning 15 copper coins!
Jun Wu Hui's original odds weren't very high, but it was still 1: 3.7.
Although the World of Heroes' official odds were very low for Qiao Mo, the majority of players still chose Qiao Mo without hesitation.
Qiao Mo's strength as a non-player character had been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the players.
As a large number of players bet on Qiao Mo's victory, Qiao Mo's odds dropped from the original 1: 1.15 to 1: 1.03.
Even so, a large number of players still blindly chose Qiao Mo as the winner.
The reason why it was blindly chosen was because a large number of players were advocating Qiao Mo's invincibility on the official forums.
Some players' analysis seemed to be very accurate, so much so that it influenced the choices of other players. Thus, they chose Qiao Mo as the winner.
At one o 'clock in the morning, after an hour's worth of bets, more than 150 million copper coins had been earned in the special betting event for the final victory of the Three Strongest.
Among them, more than 140 million had bet on Qiao Mo!
From the bets, it could be seen how popular Blazing Sun Berserker Qiao Mo was!
Out of the remaining ten million copper coins, more than eight million copper coins were bet on Jun Wu Hui.
In the second match of the twenty-second round, Jun Wu Hui had displayed a very powerful strength.
This made some players think that Jun Wuhui had the strength to challenge Qiao Mo, so they chose to bet on Jun Wuhui.
In the World's Number One Special Lottery, there was barely one million copper coins, and the winner of the lottery was Storm.
Originally, Storm was the favorite to become number one in the world. However, after Storm lost to Qiao Mo, the situation took a turn for the worse.
Storm did not care about his high odds. He did not place a heavy bet on himself to win.
Not only did Storm not want to place a heavy bet, but it was also because of the limitations of Dream Entertainment's main system.
Participating players were not allowed to place large amounts of bets. This was to prevent cheating in order to obtain a large amount of profits.
The copper coins of the Hero's World could be traded through the black market and could be linked to the currency of the real world.
If he didn't limit the contestants' bets, what if Storm bet ten billion copper coins for himself?
According to the odds of one to nine, that would be ninety-nine billion copper coins!
If he didn't count the fluctuations in the exchange rate, ninety-nine billion copper coins would be ninety-nine billion yuan. Even if he counted the fluctuations in the exchange rate, if he calculated it at two hundred percent, that would still be three billion and three billion.
If he lost that much money, even if it was just copper coins, Shi Lei would be heartbroken!
The prices of the Hero's World would definitely collapse!
Therefore, the official lottery limited the contestants' maximum bets.
In fact, normal players were also limited to their maximum bets. It was just that their maximum bets were relatively large, reaching five hundred thousand copper coins. How many normal players had five hundred thousand copper coins?
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already the night of the 30th of June.
In the Hero's World, during the first Wulin Tournament, whether it was Mu Shuang, Lingyumo, Ou Yangxiang, or Li Zhiyue, none of them disturbed Shi Lei.
They all knew that during this period, Shi Lei must be very busy.
Especially Mu Shuang and Lingyumo. They were usually at the Jadeite Building, but they still didn't look for Shi Lei. They very sensibly left enough time for Shi Lei.
30th of June, nineteen o 'clock at night.
The official lottery for the Hero's World officially announced that they would stop accepting bets. At the same time, they wouldn't accept bets for the 23rd round of the tournament.
This was because there was only one round in the 23rd round of the tournament.
There were only three contestants in the 23rd round of the tournament.
Shi Lei's original plan was to hold three matches: Qiao Mo VS Storm, Qiao Mo VS Jun Wuhui, and Storm VS Jun Wuhui.
The three contestants would fight in pairs. If they won, they would get three points, if they drew, they would get one point, and if they lost, they wouldn't get any points. In the end, they would advance according to the points system. The one with the least points would be third place, and the top two would advance.
Although this kind of two-on-one battle was very scientific, if it was carried out in pairs, would there still be a need for a final round?
Therefore, in the 23rd round of the tournament, they would draw lots based on luck.
The three contestants would draw lots to decide who would advance directly, and who would have to fight each other to advance.
Apart from the 23rd round of the tournament, no bets were accepted for the 24th round of the tournament.
These two special messages were clearly stated in the official lottery system.
Because of these two special messages, the majority of players who loved betting had already SH 'ed Qiao Mo during the World's Number One Quiz!
SH 'ed could be used as an abbreviation for Show Hand. It meant that they had bet all their copper coins on Qiao Mo.
SH 'ed was also a unique language used by the Hero's World's Player Forum.
When the bets for the Hero's World's Number One Quiz ended, the total amount of bets on the World's Number One Quiz was 381,236,864 copper coins.
Storm had received less than two million copper coins, and Jun Wuhui wasn't much better. The total amount of bets he received didn't exceed fifteen million.
The remaining bets were all on Blazing Sun Slayer Qiao Mo!
In this situation, after Izur reported the statistics, Shi Lei's expression was very helpless.
"Why do these players think that Qiao Mo will definitely win?"
"Sir, according to the current statistics, Qiao Mo has a 76.18% chance of winning if he's not controlled by a player!" Izur directly poured a bucket of cold water on Shi Lei.
Shi Lei pursed his lips and snorted. "Damn Izur!
Can you shut up? "
"Yes, sir!" Izur replied and turned off the sound system in the bedroom.
"Idiot!"
Shi Lei scolded again. Although Izur's logical thinking was very advanced at times, there were also times when Izur would make idiotic mistakes.
Just like a real human, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't make stupid mistakes!
Izur was making stupid mistakes right now. Shi Lei clearly didn't really need Izur to shut up.
At 19: 50 PM, Xia Country time, the second last round of the Braveheart World competition began. The three experts stood on the hundred-meter square stage at the same time.
In order to show the fairness of the draw, Shi Lei used a VR gaming helmet and personally appeared at the venue of the Brave World's first Wulin Tournament to host the draw for the three strongest players.
On the hundred-meter square stage, Shi Lei wore a long black robe. With the support of the main system, his voice could be transmitted to the ears of every player present.
"Players from all over the world, hello!
I'm Dream Entertainment's CEO, Shi Lei. For the 23rd round of the tournament, the draw will be done manually. "Shi Lei didn't introduce the manual draw in detail.
Shi Lei stood on the stage and drew a square in the air with his right hand. With the help of the main system, the mark that Shi Lei drew in the air showed a rainbow light.
When the square was finished, the rainbow light spread out and a solid square box appeared in the air. Shi Lei reached out and caught the square box. Then, he casually drew three small circles. Then, three round spheres appeared. Each sphere had a number on it.
Shi Lei's ability to create objects out of thin air stunned everyone, whether it was the three strongest players, the players present, or the audience watching the livestream in the real world!
Shi Lei acted as if he didn't see it. He threw the three spheres into the square box and said, "Three contestants, the rules of the draw are as follows. Sphere number one will advance directly. Sphere number two and sphere number three will fight. The winner will advance.
The rules are very simple. Do you understand? "
If there was anyone who didn't understand the simple rules of the draw, Shi Lei could only say that those who didn't understand were all idiots!
Just directly eliminate them!
In the real world, on the 37th floor of the Jade Building, Dream Entertainment's temporary headquarters.
An unexpected visitor was talking to Xie Hui. Xie Hui shook his head vigorously, but the unexpected visitor was obviously unwilling to give up. In the end, Xie Hui could only nod in agreement.
The visitor smiled victoriously and said, "Manager Xie, please bring me to the Somatosensory Control Platform's room!"
Xie Hui sighed and muttered in his heart, "I don't know if this is a good idea. What if the boss doesn't like it?"
