"The second-best team in Colombia, Deep Blood River, has a captain named Cold Prison."
[Wow, both of these big shots are here! Does this mean we'll get to see the number one ranked Queen's Crown and the Sabbath of Calamity next time?]
[These two are no less capable than those from Queen's Crown and Calamity Sabbath. Don't underestimate them just because they're second best; they're both top-tier operators.]
[We don't need operator stats here. So what if they're overpowered? I, Raven, can easily crush them with a single 999 VIP card!]
"Speaking of which, didn't the two teams team up? I only saw them and their teammates around, and there was no one else."
Li Ji wasn't particularly interested in the strength of others at the moment. He couldn't find anyone from Yingming Pavilion to reach the top tier, and other countries were at best second place, which was also a top tier.
The strength is still a bit too much for the people of this world.
"They were the first two people to invite me to team up... Logically speaking, they shouldn't have given up this opportunity, but they probably split up temporarily because of the betting competition."
But just as she was about to say something, Kannot behind her announced the start of the guessing game.
……
"Next, let's welcome the two contestants from the first round to the stage!"
With a shout from Kannot, the first team entered the arena. The lights of the red and blue gates began to blur, and two more familiar enemy teams emerged from them.
Red: Jeston X1, Pompeii X3 - I think this side can work!
VS
Blue team: Heavy Defender X12, Wolf Pro X51 - clearly this side is stronger!
[Is this even a question? Red will definitely win. What kind of trash are the blue team?]
[Although Jeston and Pompeii are indeed weak, they're still far superior to the trash on the other side. Charge!]
[Jeston has 1400 armor in phase two; even if the wolves bite their teeth to pieces, they can't break through that armor. It's definitely the third boss; this question is too easy.]
[I remember Pompeii was also a 4-star enemy, right? They had a lot of units, but they were all trash, so I'd definitely choose red!]
"You all have such good understanding! Since you all like guessing, how about I start a guessing game for you?"
Before Li Ji even made his own selection, he started yelling in the live chat, "It's open now, so I'm too lazy to write out every match. The red door means the left side wins, and the blue door means the right side wins. I'm telling you now, don't try to back out of the deal with the streamer later and make me change my mind."
[Fine, fine, I've got all red cards, why can't I win?]
[Where are those people who were just being stubborn about the blue side? Why are their odds so high? Are they afraid to pick it?]
[Hurry up and choose! What are you afraid of with a free gift?]
[I refuse to believe it! The odds are against me! I'm betting on a villa by the sea! I believe in the wolf god, bite me!]
"So, which side are you choosing?"
Li Ji wasn't in a hurry. Almost all of these were past exam questions he had done before. He still remembered the order of selecting people and many of the formulas. Moreover, Kannot had given him a three-minute thinking time limit, so he wanted to see Raven's understanding first.
"I think we should still choose the three bosses... Whether from a stereotype or numerical calculation perspective, the three bosses are indeed more intimidating. No matter which one you choose, you probably won't be able to choose the right side. The difference is still quite large."
Raven quickly calculated the attribute comparison between the two in his mind and gave his answer, "I'll still choose red. Pompeii has 40,000 HP, self-destruct, berserk mode, and attack speed buffs. Jesston has two phases that add up to 50,000 HP. No matter how you look at it, you can't lose..."
"No, completely wrong. The answer to this question is blue. Trust God."
While Li Ji was explaining to Raven, he first blocked the disc in the live broadcast room.
After hearing Li Ji's answer, the live stream was filled with nothing but groans and stubbornness.
[? ]
[It's a lost bet, I'm not playing anymore.]
[Please, please, I'll do anything.]
[I don't believe it! Why choose blue? Streamer, you're just asking to lose!]
[This attribute gap is something that quantity can't compensate for; the streamer seems to be getting a bit too stubborn.]
"????"
Raven was dumbfounded when he saw Li Ji bet 20 Originium Ingots on the blue team, which no one thought was a good match, without any hesitation.
"Let's at least discuss this before you go down..."
She hadn't expected Li Ji to be so decisive; before she could even react, the Originium Ingot had already been thrown in.
"Huh? Didn't we just discuss that...?"
Raven covered her face, looking at Li Ji with a puzzled expression, and wondered if this was even a discussion.
It's like she just rambles on and on without any explanation and then votes for the other side...?
"20 Originium Ingots. Luckily, I couldn't go all-in on the first try, or I would have been doomed! Hopefully, I can catch up later."
Raven clearly felt that her calculations were correct, and that Li Ji's impulsiveness was the only reason she could solve the problem. She was determined to be the first to press the button next time!
……
With everyone placing their bets, the situation on the field became quite clear.
Most people chose to trust the numbers and their own impressions, opting for the red team, where Jeston and Pompeii were located.
Meanwhile, the two teams on the sidelines started moving as soon as the starting whistle blew.
"Kill them, Pompeii! Kill them all!"
"The first question was a bit too easy. I felt like I didn't need to look at it anymore. I could win the game in the blink of an eye."
"Charge! Charge! Bite!"
Dozens of dogs charged madly toward Pompeii and Jeston, while the twelve large shields following behind continued to advance slowly.
They pounced on the monster in an instant. Their fangs, like sharp daggers, tore at their enemies.
The wolves leaped and tore at the monster, their movements swift and agile. Although they tried to evade Pompeii's attacks, the volcano's coverage was too vast, and the wolves still suffered fatal blows from Pompeii's attacks.
But compared to the wolf pack, Pompeii was in a more difficult situation, with countless fangs embedded in its hard outer skin.
It struggled, but each struggle only deepened its wounds. Blood gushed from its body like a waterfall, and soon a red glow began to shimmer around it.
Meanwhile, Jeston, weakened by the single-target attacks in the first phase, was unable to withstand the wolf pack's onslaught and was forced into the second phase after only a short time.
“Is that right?”
"Yes, yes, yes."
"No, no, no! What's going on? These attributes are weird, how can it bite so fast?"
"Hey, you canned food, aren't you cheating?!"
Kannot, noticing that many people had turned to look at him, maintained his unchanging tone and said, "Friends, you're just thinking with your own preconceived notions. How do you know that the people on my side are all enemies you know? Are you all the same?"
"..."
"Okay, okay, so this is how you play the first game? Luckily I didn't play many."
The situation on the field changed rapidly. Just moments ago, everyone was marveling at how easy the question was, but now they were all cheering for the last remaining player, Jeston.
Jeston never imagined he would hear so many people cheering him on, but unfortunately there were just too many dogs, and quite a few large shields surrounding him and nudging him...
"Go for it, Lao Jie, you can do it! Kill them all!"
"Please, just kill them all, Jeston. I promise I'll never curse you again."
[Jesston!! Go for it!!! My villa depends on you.]
The wind on the rooftop is so strong; it reminds me of the day my crush rejected me.
"Jay... he's dead, you piece of trash!"
"My Originium Ingots! Aaaaaaah!"
Amidst the wailing of the crowd, Jeston finally collapsed in resentment, turning into ashes.
But the funny thing is...
The first round has ended; the winner is in red and will advance to the second round.
Red: Jeston X1 - I think this side can work!
VS
Blue team: Tiacare Warriors X8 - Clearly, this side is stronger!
As the second round began, Jeston, who had just turned to ashes, emerged from the exact same spot, swirling his wine glass as if nothing had happened.
[Damn it, it's Jeston again! Eight useless, defense-reducing crocodiles, we can't possibly lose this, can we?]
[No, I'll trust him one more time. There's no way he can't beat eight crocodiles, right?]
[I feel like the first question was designed to mislead us into thinking that Jeston was weak in this game, then trick us into choosing the crocodile for this question, thus setting us up for a trap. It's definitely a psychological tactic.]
[But this crocodile reduces defense; each attack reduces defense by 10 points. Don't forget their attributes are different.]
What should we choose this time?
Li Ji looked at the rankings above the arena and saw that he had moved up one place.
Both the Colombian and Vitória teams won their bets in this round, so their score difference remained relatively small.
