Time flies, a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and the people of the empire ushered in the latest stone gambling competition.
The Stone Gambling Competition is a large-scale event held by the empire every three years, and it will last for a whole month. Almost all the stone gamblers in the entire empire will choose to participate in this stone gamble feast.
Cantley, the capital of emeralds, is the venue for the stone gambling competition, and it was already overcrowded before it was held. In addition to the stone gambling masters who came to participate in the competition, there were also many stone gambling enthusiasts who came to watch the competition, as well as a large number of people. A wool merchant who came to sell wool while Cantley's popularity was high.
Among them, the most watched players are naturally Lin Luo and Han Xinyuan.
Lin Luo, the youngest and most legendary talented player in the history of the empire. In this year, he has accumulated a lot of rank points by participating in the stone betting market twice, and broke into the master rank in one fell swoop as a dark horse, which is rare in the world.
Han Xinyuan, who is also young and talented, was born in a stone gambling family. In the last stone gambling competition, he successfully entered the professional level and achieved very good results. Before Lin Luo appeared, he had always been an imperial The male god in the hearts of the people.
People thought that he would become rivals with Lin Luo, but no one thought that he would bring his younger brother to join Lin Luo's company and become his right-hand man. Han Xinyuan has also stated in public many times that Lin Luo is both a teacher and a friend to him, which can be regarded as his indirect acknowledgment that Lin Luo's stone gambling skills are superior to his.
During this year, he also accumulated a lot of points and successfully entered the master rank, even his ranking was still above Lin Luo. But the current ranking does not represent their true strength. The current ranking is just the ranking before the game, and the specific ranking will not be known until the game starts.
Han Xinyu also participated in the competition, but it was his first time participating in the competition. Although he had good strength, he couldn't compare with Lin Luo, a monstrous genius. For those who participated in the competition, it is already a very good result.
He Kun, Xu Jian, Zhao Xiaolei and others also participated in the competition. They have studied with Lin Luo for a year and have made considerable progress. They have entered the advanced ranks steadily and ranked very high.
The stone betting competition is divided into groups according to different ranks. The top five winners of each rank will be eligible to participate in the next rank. Therefore, if they perform well, they still have the opportunity to participate in the professional rank competition .
***************
Lin Luo, Han Xinyuan and others all belong to the same company, so they set off together. They arrived in Cantley three days ahead of schedule, and just as they got off the shuttle, they caused quite a commotion. After all, Lin Luo is now a well-known existence in the entire empire.
"Xiao Luo! Xiao Luo!" Many people greeted Lin Luo from a distance, calling out his name. It was obvious at a glance that they were Lin Luo's fans, and the ratio of male to female was quite balanced.
"Han Xinyuan! Han Xinyuan! We love you!" Han Xinyuan's fans were mostly girls, and they screamed endlessly.
Both Lin Luo and Han Xinyuan smiled and waved to them as a greeting, and then left in the direction of the safe passage under the escort of the staff who came to pick them up.
"Wow! Did you see that? Xiao Luo blushed just now!"
"Yes, yes! Even the ears are red! It's so cute! I really want to take it home and raise it!"
"I also took a video and will post it on my personal social platform later!"
"Hahaha, I want it too, I want it too, send me a copy!"
Han Xinyuan's fans, on the other hand, held their faces together, blushing and beating heartbeats.
"Han Xin looks really handsome from a distance!"
"I really want to give him a monkey!"
The fans of the two have completely different styles of painting, which makes people laugh.
Several people took the suspension car arranged by the organizer and left the airport.
"Wow, why are there so many people? Are they all here to participate in the stone betting competition?" He Kun looked at the densely packed crowd on the street below the vehicle, and couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.
"Of course, there are no less than 20,000 contestants alone, not to mention the spectators and stone gambling enthusiasts who want to watch the game live." The staff replied with a smile, "When the last stone gambling competition was held, , There are millions of people here, this time with Master Lin and Master Han you two, naturally more people will come."
He didn't intend to flatter Lin Luo and Han Xinyuan, but he told a fact. After all, the two of them have quite a large number of fans, especially Lin Luo. Apart from being a stone betting master, he is also an energy master. The number of fans on his personal social platform has exceeded 200 million, which can be said to be the most popular player in this stone betting competition.
The Stone Gambling Competition is a nationwide large-scale event organized by the Empire. Therefore, a unified accommodation area was specially established for the contestants, and military personnel were arranged to conduct 24-hour uninterrupted patrols to ensure the safety of the contestants.
The suspension car soon arrived at the players' accommodation area, all of which were identical small high-rise buildings, each with a one-bedroom, one-living room luxury suite, which was comfortable and clean. Before Lin Luo and the others came to Cantley, they had already selected rooms online, so they all lived on the same floor, and it was more convenient for them to enter and exit together.
"Everyone, the room has been prepared for you. You can directly unlock the lock with the biometric information registered by you. Each building has a dedicated person to provide service 24 hours a day. If you need anything, just turn on the communicator in the room. If If you need a car, you can make an appointment with the staff ten minutes in advance, and there are a large number of suspension cars in the accommodation area on standby." The staff said after taking them to the accommodation floor.
"Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome, I wish you all good results in the competition."
After the staff left, everyone verified their biological information and entered their respective rooms. After a long space shuttle, they need to take a hot bath and have a good rest in order to prepare for the next game.
After the start of the competition, the points of all participants will be cleared, and the competition will be divided into groups according to different ranks from low to high. The content of each tier match is different, the lower tier matches are relatively easier, and the higher tier matches are more difficult.
The competition will start from the primary level. Players in the primary level need to choose two gambling stones from the stone gambling materials and untie them every day. Those who lose all bets will lose their qualifications directly. They can pack up their things and leave directly, or It is to move out of the player's accommodation area and continue to stay on Cantley Star as a spectator. Those who bet one piece can continue to stay in the game, and then the points will be converted every day according to the quality of the bet jade.
The junior level competition will last for three days. After three days, the ten people with the highest score will advance to the final.
These ten people will have another two-two duel, and five people will be eliminated directly. The remaining five people will be eligible to participate in the next tier competition. At the same time, they can also be ranked according to the battle points. Qualifying will be held again to determine the champion, runner-up and third place. However, the competition in the junior ranks was nothing to watch. For the audience, it was like a game for stone gambling lovers, and it was only for entertainment.
The competition rules of the intermediate level are similar to those of the primary level, but the requirements are higher. Once one of the two pieces of wool fails, the qualification will be directly lost, and the elimination rate is higher.
The difficulty of advanced ranks will be higher. After all, the level of advanced ranks is different from that of ordinary stone gambling players. Each of them needs to choose five pieces of wool every day, and there must be more than two bets, otherwise they will directly disuse. The promotion rule for the professional level is five hits and four hits, while the master level must hit all.
The woolen materials in the stone gambling area are all directly provided by woolen merchants. Each piece of woolen material is marked with a multi-dimensional code. Players need to scan the code with the scanner issued by the competition to confirm the price and then buy it. There are about several million pieces of wool in the stone gambling area, all of which are randomly piled up together, and the position is adjusted every day to rule out any possibility of cheating.
The so-called failure of the bet does not mean that it is a failure of the bet if you don’t have jade. If the wool you buy is too expensive, but you don’t bet the jadeite that exceeds the price of the wool, it is also a failure of the bet.
The rules of such a game are not harsh.
But it is only with such strictness that the competition will be interesting.
Moreover, the Stone Gambling Contest also set up a gamble, so that the audience can bet on the players they are optimistic about, to see who can win the final championship, and if they guess correctly, they can get a lot of profits. One of the reasons.
Of course, for a player with a very high voice like Lin Luo, the odds will be relatively low. You may invest 10,000 credits, but you can only earn tens or hundreds of credits back.
In fact, there is absolutely no need for Lin Luo and the others to come so early. Anyway, they are master players, so even if they wait half a month later, it is okay. But they are not just contestants, they are also employees of Pengcheng Energy Company. Pengcheng Energy Company has become the leader in the industry within this year, and the demand for jadeite is very large. The scale of the Stone Gambling Competition is much larger than any other stone gambling fairs, and they need to take advantage of this opportunity to bring back some better quality jadeite. No matter whether it was bought wool by themselves, or emerald bright material, they couldn't let it go.
