Chapter 286 Another Competition (Part 2)
This qualifying match can also be bet. The method of betting is very simple. You can directly bet on how many people can pass the qualifying match. You can bet on specific numbers, or you can bet on odds and evens, and what multiples are there. The odds of various methods vary.
The qualifying match is officially held now. Because the production of soul guides does not end in a short time like a combat competition. This first round of competition gave soul guides three days. The subsequent competitions were all knockout matches. But the topics of the competition will be different.
The three major black markets also specially invited a royal family of the Yuyue Empire to worship, with a powerful ninth-level soul tutor as the chief referee, and a referee committee composed of twelve level seven or above soul tutors to ensure the fair surname of competition and gambling.
What they actually have to do is to use the popularity of this competition to attract the civilians, nobles and wealthy people who want to bet but cannot directly make bets on the competition. They make huge profits.
Facts have proved that they were very successful. At present, more than 100,000 people have participated in the gambling of this underground black market competition. The betting amount can be imagined.
In order to attract enough excellent soul tutors to participate, the awards of the competition are all rare metals.
Starting from the first round, as long as you pass one round, you will receive a reward. Even in a qualifying round. The reward will increase significantly with each round.
Soul mentors may not care about money, but they will never care about rare metals. They can earn money by making soul mentors, and rare metals cannot be bought with money. Especially in this competition, there are some extremely rare rare metals used as rewards.
The three major black markets are also competing with each other. Therefore, the competition is divided into three divisions. In the end, the champions of each division will compete again. At that time, the bets of the three major black markets will also be rare metals. This is also an important reason why Nana cannot obtain rare metals at a high price.
After listening to Nana's story, Huo Yuhao's eyes showed thoughtful expressions and said, "Nana, are there any requirements for signing up for this competition?"
Nana shook her head and said, "The requirements for the black market competition are very simple. If you are not over thirty years old, you are confident that you have the ability to participate in the qualifying competition and pay a 100 Golden Soul Coins for the participation fee."
Wang Dong'er's face changed and she said, "Yu Hao, you are not going to participate in the competition. No, it's too dangerous. It's in Mingdu, and there are so many powerful soul tutors there."
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and said, "Isn't it a pity not to participate in such a generous reward? Don't worry, I won't take risks. Since these underground black markets are held, safety is guaranteed. Those participating in the competition are all soul mentors, and they are the most powerful group in the entire Yueyue Empire. If they dare to do tricks in the competition, can the soul mentors tolerate them? They absolutely dare not. So, you don't have to worry about this. Moreover, I won't use my own identity to participate in the competition. Isn't it easy to cheat people with your disguise and my simulated soul skills?"
Wang Dong'er frowned and said, "But, we still have a competition."
Huo Yuhao said: "The black market soul tutor competition is always at night and it will not affect it. Dong'er, for the development of the Tang Sect, I must participate in this competition. Gambling is a good opportunity for us, but I am not at ease to place bets on others. I am a soul tutor, which is also a good opportunity to test my own abilities. At the same time, I can also learn more from my peers. I will let my second senior brother go with me."
Speaking of this, he paused and said seriously: "Dong'er, we are here to participate in the competition this time. What the competition brings us to the Tang Sect is reputation. And what the private purchase of rare metals brings to the Tang Sect is the future. Both are very important."
Wang Dong'er thought for a while and said, "You can go there. I have two conditions. First, you must get the permission of your senior brother. Second, I will accompany you too. But, do you really want to participate? Hasn't this competition already started?"
Huo Yuhao said: "Nana just said that there is still one day left for the qualifying competition. It's not too late for me to go now. I have agreed to both of your conditions. Let's go to see the eldest brother now and then sign up for the competition."
At this time, he was definitely decisive. Procurement of rare metals was one of his most important purposes this time. It is of great significance to the future development of the Tang Sect and the improvement of his own soul tutor's ability.
At that moment, Huo Yuhao asked Wang Dong'er to push him to call He Caitou first, and then went to Beibei's room together.
Half an hour later.
The sky was completely dark. Perhaps because the daytime competition consumed too much energy, the night seemed a little deserted. There were not too many people on the streets. Most people were already asleep.
At a street corner about 300 meters away from Mingyue Hotel, in the dark corner, the light suddenly twisted, and then four figures appeared.
Huo Yuhao is still sitting in a wheelchair, but now his golden tree wheelchair is covered with a black cloth cover, and his own appearance has also changed drastically. Compared to before, he is much more handsome. Many subtle places have changed. Even if someone who knows him is in front of him, it is difficult to recognize him as long as he does not associate through the wheelchair.
Wang Dong'er is still wearing men's clothes, and her appearance has become much colder and harder, and she has become much more ordinary. She looks like a very ordinary and cold young man.
The biggest change of Hecai Tou is his hair... The originally shiny big bald man wore a brown wig, the wig was scattered on his shoulders, and a black mask was added to his face. The exposed skin was also decorated with a much whiter whiteness. In addition, a thick black robe, the whole person was covered up with a mysterious atmosphere.
Nana's change is the simplest, she looks like a maid. The simple change gives her a sense of pitifulness. Standing next to Huo Yuhao's wheelchair, her respectful expression does not need to be pretended at all.
He Caitou exclaimed: "Junior brother, your simulated soul skill is getting stronger and stronger. It can actually make so many of us come out of the hotel without knowing it. Now no one can doubt us."
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Second Brother, from now on, our names will change. I will take advantage of everyone in a wheelchair. We are brothers, and I will call you elder brother, just call me second brother. Dong'er and Nana are my servants. If you want to call me master, I will call you Xiaodong and Xiaona."
Wang Dong'er said angrily: "You are deliberately trying to take advantage of us."
Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "No! But isn't our identity the most reasonable? Call me and listen to it."
Looking at the cunning look in his eyes, Wang Dong'er pouted and hummed, and his voice turned into a male voice, and he whispered: "Master, Master..."
Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "You should call me naturally, come on, call me again."
"You..." Wang Dong'er raised her hand and was about to move, but when she saw him sitting in a wheelchair, she had to withdraw her hand angrily. She snorted, turned her head and ignored him.
"Let's go. Let's go. It's getting late. Everything goes according to the plan."
Wang Dong'er pushed the wheelchair, Nana followed her with her eyes down, and strided with Caitou on the other side. The group of four took advantage of the night and headed straight to the center of Ming City.
There will be an underground world where people will have it, whether it is the Heavenly Soul, Fighting Spirit, Xingluo or Yueyu Empire. There are many types of underground worlds. The lowest level is those who use pornography, killing, and trafficking as their way of survival. The higher level is arms trading, underground political transactions, rare resource reselling, etc. Whether it is the low-level or high-level underground world, in fact, they are all toys in the hands of big people. Otherwise, how could they last?
In the underground world of Mingdu, there are three main forces, namely the largest Xishui Alliance, the ordinary Alliance and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.
Among them, the most common name of the Ordinary Alliance, which controls the entire Mingdu pornography industry, is regarded as the most superficial underground force. The Aodu Chamber of Commerce controls similar to the Killer Guild, the Thieves Guild and some evil forces. It specializes in collecting protection fees, assassination, theft and other illegal activities to make a living.
Compared to them, Xishui League is much more high-end, engaged in the most profitable medicines, arms trading in the underground world, and also part-time trafficking in humans.
The ordinary alliance and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce have a close relationship, and they are vaguely united to fight against the Xishui Alliance. However, their backstage is obviously not as powerful as the Xishui Alliance, and there are not many places to interact with each other. Only with the compromises of the bigwigs behind each other can they remain peaceful.
The three major underground forces have all been involved in the reselling of rare metals. After all, this thing can be said to be a huge profit. As long as it can penetrate into mining channels, the cost is extremely low, but the selling price is so high that it makes more money than anything.
To give a simple example, among rare metals, there is a soul-forging silver with extremely high affinity for soul power. It can be fused into any metal to enhance its affinity for the soul master's soul power, and at the same time enhance the toughness and hardness of the metal. It is a must-have for almost all high-level soul guides.
The rare metal of Soul-Forging Silver is only produced in the Yuyue Empire. It has a medium output and a mining cost of about 500 gold soul coins per kilogram. However, the price of this thing in the market is as high as 100 gold soul coins per gram, which is 200 times the profit! How can it not make people crazy? Even if they are exploited in various channels, it will be a huge profit.
Among the many rare metals, the profits of Soul Forging Silver can only be considered medium. The prices of some more scarce rare metals are even more incredible.
