C1473 Marseille
On the second day, Zhou Hao brought Wang Xiaohu and Xiao Liu to the same competition grounds, where they would draw lots for the competition. If someone drew the number 21, they would stay in the competition grounds to continue, if they drew the number of people betting on horses, they would follow the carriage to the stable, this kind of competition's format was very special, it had skills that could test one's luck.
Since Zhou Hao did not have any opening ceremony today, nor would he appear here, and since he arrived relatively early, the competitors who were eliminated yesterday would naturally not come today. Therefore, although the stage was still as big as before, there were still a lot less people present.
Amongst the participants, Zhou Hao could naturally see the Jingxi Mahjong Devil who had levelled up together with him yesterday, and he also greeted Zhou Hao amicably. No matter what, the person who levelled up together could be considered as someone who was more familiar with each other than the other players.
"Boss, we have already investigated that opponent of yours yesterday, he is called Jingxi Mahjong Devil, an expert who plays mahjong. In this aspect, his strength is not weaker than at all. Yesterday, when Wang Xiaohu went back, he did some homework and had already investigated it.
Zhou Hao nodded his head: "This guy has a deep background, my strength is sufficient to reach First Rated Warrior, my strength is definitely above Little Tiger's, and I am not too clear about his gambling skills, I only know that he did not use his full strength yesterday, I think that he is not just powerful in one area, he might have other aspects hidden."
"Boss, according to what you're saying, this guy might be an expert. You're a strong opponent for us." Hearing Zhou Hao's words, Wang Xiaohu tried to probe.
After all, there are still a few matches left, maybe he will meet a very strong opponent, and I won't be able to meet him. But I feel that no matter if it's him or anyone else, the experts of the Casino s are also like the Martial Arts Master, with many hidden experts! Zhou Hao shook his head and laughed.
The host looked at the time, and began to announce: "Hello everyone. After yesterday's day of selection, the remaining contestants are all experts from different places, so I won't waste my time. Everyone should understand today's competition format, so we will now draw lots, and then we will set up a competition."
Zhou Hao and the other two thought that the host was very simple, he would say a bunch of nonsense and end the match immediately. Zhou Hao really did not know whether he came in by the back door or not, but regardless of what they thought, he still had to listen to the host's instructions. He left Wang Xiaohu and Xiao Liu, and walked into the competition to draw his lot.
The lottery was decided by the computer, which was also known as the AB multiple choice question. Everyone would go up and choose a random match, unless you had some sort of relationship with the organizers. Basically, everything depended on luck, and the group that you chose depended on your choice.
When it was Zhou Hao time, there were at least fifty people who had already chosen it. Some of them were happy, some were worried, and some had chosen the competition that they wanted.
When it was Zhou Hao's turn, his target was Marseille. He wanted to try and see if his premonition would work here, but he wanted to try and see if he could win. He didn't want to be like the other participants who would choose AB.
Although he had chosen the B, this was not the result of a premonition. Both of these choices were not dangerous for Zhou Hao, his early warning senses were useless against them, but in reality, he had only randomly chosen one.
Fortunately, Zhou Hao's luck was good and he had good luck. After choosing B, he showed that the result was really the bet horse, and the person in charge took out a number 23 sign from the side and handed it to Zhou Hao: Gambling race number 23, you wait at the side, there will be someone to specially send you guys to the stage later.
He had heard the words of the employee just now many times. He would repeatedly remind every participant that was about to bet on their horses, and Zhou Hao felt that if the technology was a little more developed now, he could use a robot to replace them.
After him, there were still dozens of participants drawing lots. Once everyone was done, the competition would begin. When Zhou Hao stood in front of the team with the betting horses, he accidentally saw Jingxi Mahjong Devil not far away, he actually stood in the same group as him.
"Hey, little brother, it's really fate for us to be together again. If we're still competing in the same group, then we'll have to ask you to be magnanimous." When Zhou Hao saw the Jingxi Mahjong Devil, he also saw Zhou Hao.
"Big brother, you're joking. An expert like you actually wants me to show you my kindness. When the time comes, just don't push me out of the game." Towards such greetings, Zhou Hao was free to do so.
Jingxi Mahjong Devil's expression did not change at all, as if everything was within his expectations. He was no longer polite to Zhou Hao and asked, "Brother, how is the form of horse betting? Are you familiar with it?
Zhou Hao followed his words and looked carefully at the choices that he did not know of, a few of them looked calm, truly full of confidence in the ability to gamble, but Zhou Hao was not worried, since he had the cheating godly equipment, he was more confident in his ability than them, who relied on their experience to gamble.
"To me, betting on horses is completely foreign. I won't hide anything from you, brother, this is my first time in Macau and I don't have the chance to gamble on horses. I'm just going to start the competition later on because of luck." Zhou Hao retracted his gaze and smiled at Jingxi Mahjong Devil.
Since he was a Casino expert, he would naturally be able to see his words. When Zhou Hao said these words, his expression was normal, and his gaze was calm, obviously what he said was not a lie, but how could such a person who did not know anything participate in the Gambling King's competition?
Alright, contestants, the grouping has been completed. The players that are competing at 21 PM will go to the arena to prepare and begin the match immediately. Players who are gambling on horses, please follow the staff member. The host interrupted their conversation.
Jingxi Mahjong Devil originally wanted to say a few more words to Zhou Hao, but the staff had already started to verify their identities and bring them out for a ride. As there were 42 people who wanted to go to the horse farm, a large bus was prepared and led by the staff to the competition grounds.
When the participants left the competition grounds, their relatives and friends would naturally follow and cheer for the competition. Wang Xiaohu and Xiao Liu had also joined their ranks, it was truly a spectacular sight, they only just realised that there were not many participants, their group of relatives and friends was truly huge.
The Gambling King Great Games had already been held several times in Macau, and the natives knew that today was the day of the competition, so they were not surprised to see such a team, and they knew that these people had gone to gamble, some of the smarter gamblers even found out that these people were more talented, so they could just buy from them.
If it was a normal competition, in order to let the competition proceed smoothly, all the activities would have to be cancelled, but the gambling competition did not need to be like this, since it was a gambling competition anyway, so the competition continued, as long as the competitors went to the back and looked at the horses, and picked the horses they liked or liked to place their bets, then it would be fine, because when the time came, the criteria for winning or losing would be how much you won.
The competition was not the biggest competition in Macau, but it belonged to He Hongsen. Among the horses, there were also white horses, and after three rounds of competition, there would be 24 horses competing, so the participants would go to the rear of the competition to pick the horses.
Everyone's bet was won yesterday and had already been registered by the competitors. Today's bets could not exceed this number, and contestants were not allowed to bet money in private. After all, they had seen the state of a horse before, if a horse that they knew well could win the race, then they could bet a sum that would affect ordinary players.
Forty-two participants were divided into three groups, each group having fourteen people. Zhou Hao and Jingxi Mahjong Devil were not in the same group, they were split into groups according to the order in which they drew lots at the time of the competition. This was something the organizers had not mentioned at the time, but some of the participants were already depressed.
Even if they were to look at their positions, who could say how many people chose to bet on horses in front and behind them? Fortunately, among the forty-two participants, there were no famous experts in horse gambling, and everyone was a foreigner, so no one knew who they were. It was possible that there were many famous people in the gambling field in Jingxi Mahjong Devil, but there were no particularly powerful experts.2
The organizers brought everyone to the stables at the back. There were many horses here, and all of them were 'participants' who were either participating in or preparing to participate in the competition, and they were usually responsible for raising them. If not for He Hongsen's stable and Gambling King's competition, it would be impossible for ordinary people to come in to watch.
The staff led the contestants to a special area, where there were a total of twenty-four horses, which should be the three groups of horses that were prepared for the competition today. He pointed to them and said, "Everyone, what you are seeing now is the horses that you are about to bet on.
