Human nature lies in gambling.

This has been proven by countless historical examples as early as the Fire Dynasty and even earlier in the prehistoric era. In modern times, human civilization has gradually developed, life has become more and more abundant, and people's gambling is becoming stronger and stronger.

Combining the traditional performance year-end test of Hongshan Academy and gambling, we must start from the era of big live broadcasts.

Since Yuan Shi and Qingyue joined hands to submit a live broadcast platform construction plan to Zhu Junshen, Hongshan College has been at the forefront of the live broadcast era.

Based on the core technologies mastered by Qingyue, Bai Xiao, the live broadcast pioneer, is a popular leader. The live broadcast platform of Hongshan Academy has spread the entire Qin Empire at the first time, and its influence has even penetrated into the Shengyuan Continent.

The benefits of live broadcast are also clear at a glance: as an anchor, you can get the blurred interactions of thousands of demons and Taoists, and the magic consciousness level can be thousands of miles a day. As a live broadcast platform, you can not only intercept some of the profits and turn them into public use, but also carry out various commercial operations based on high popularity!

The chief designer of the construction of this live broadcast platform can be regarded as a genius of commercial operations. At first, Hongshan Academy only sold some high-value-added peripheral products, such as palace jade wine, or jewelry pendants with the name of an anchor... But soon, Hongshan people developed a more advanced business model: gambling.

As long as it is related to the live broadcast content, there is nothing to bet. For example, guess the maximum number of a host named Gao can eat dozens of kilograms of rice in a meal, how many decibels will it cause to chat with a randomly selected female passerby; or guess how long it will take for a person who plays hide-and-seek with a wealthy girl named Sun to raise his hand to admit defeat...

The platform itself does not participate in betting, but only takes a slight commission from it. However, only one commission is a mountain of benefits. The audience's enthusiasm for participating in gambling has almost refreshed the cognition of anthropologists!

Even the chief designer of the live broadcast platform himself was amazed when he saw the first financial report.

"The dividend ratio for the old man is still too much!"

Taking this as an opportunity, the era of live broadcasts that truly spread across the East and West Continents suddenly kicked off. Baiye City, border counties, Brilliant Valley, Qingjun and other places were not willing to fall behind, and began to promote their own anchors and even live broadcast platforms. They showed their magical powers. Some directly cooperated with Hongshan Academy, some used their own technical reserves to imitate, and some took the wrong steps and won with curious live broadcast content... They also made their live broadcast career prosperous for a while.

The Shengyuan Continent took a step further. With the brainstorming of the Holy Yuan Council, they immediately reversed the bright moon's magical powers of Qingyue, and made localized improvements, and built a large-scale live broadcast platform in the Holy Yuan Empire. Whether it is resource utilization efficiency or platform popularity, they caught up with the pace of the Red Mountain pioneer in a short period of time.

But for Hongshan Academy, the emergence of these competitors is not a bad thing, because these diverse live broadcast platforms and anchors will only expand the market wider and wider and cultivate more and more live broadcast audiences. As the leader in the live broadcast industry, Hongshan will only benefit.

By around October, after several months of development, the live broadcast business had become a mass entertainment project that penetrated into the ordinary class. Because at the end of September, Duanshu Laboratory officially launched a reality projection equipment, which can project the pictures in the blurred domain into reality at a very low cost for ordinary humans to watch. Moreover, the equipment production capacity is very amazing. In just half a month, it was laid to many main cities of the Great Qin Empire, with a very wide coverage.

By November, when Hongshan Academy's year-end test was conducted, live broadcasts had become a hot topic in the entire Qin Empire. Even the peddlers would discuss their favorite anchors after dinner.

At this time, the year-end test of Hongshan Academy is undoubtedly the most eye-catching live broadcast project.

First of all, this is a competition between the demon priests, and everything in the demon world is actually quite attractive to ordinary people, including previous admission tests, mid-year tests, etc., which have attracted a lot of attention.

Secondly, compared with previous tests, this time the test method is more "entertainable" and the supporting services are more complete. Even ordinary people who do not understand the theory of magic can enjoy the fun of watching.

Before this, even though some video materials of the confrontation between demon masters were circulated among the people, most ordinary people could only watch the fun. Why are there these changes in magical powers? What considerations do magicians use when using magical powers... It is unknown.

And there is also an objective fact that compared with those truly mature magic priests, the students in the academy are far inferior in terms of supernatural powers and expressiveness. Ordinary people who are used to seeing the masters' magic showdowns are actually unsatisfactory to watch students' performances.

For mature magic priests, even if they are only silver spikes, they will have the power of calling the wind and rain when fighting in the arena, changing colors, elements, time and space, thoughts, and objects... countless dazzling special effects are enough to make ordinary people fascinated. On the other hand, teenagers have not yet begun to embark on the path of magic, and their magic weapons are not yet mature, and they may only have one or two magical powers to show off, so they are very rigid when fighting.

What's more, most college tests do not require actual combat. In many cases, students are purely standing on the stance and shooting targets, and then the examiner announces the score. This ornamentality only depends on the appearance of the students and examiners, and has almost nothing to do with the magic!

But this year's end-of-year test was different. Students entered the special map of the scene and plot, and had to go through a series of tortuous and complex stories and complete a series of challenges. The entire process was full of professional magic priests, including many demon masters and even masters who were above and above, like gods and immortals.

This is really a once-in-a-lifetime feast for ordinary people. Even if you don’t consider the level of magic skills, just watching hundreds of students play role-playing games is a unique new way of entertainment.

What's more, the audience can also actively place bets during this period, and if they are lucky, they will be able to have a villa with sea view!

Therefore, when the avatars of the two women in the air gradually dissipated, the atmosphere in Hongshan City became even hotter.

The diners in the restaurant were talking vaguely while scattering the authentic Hongshan Nancheng flavor in the boss's impatient eyes.

"How do you plan to place a bet?"

"First talk about which game to focus on, and then how to place bets. For the five-grade test, you must always focus on it. How about focusing on graduates? Logically speaking, the strongest strength and the performance should be the most exciting?"

Before he finished speaking, a big man at the next table burst out laughing. The authentic Hongshan Nancheng-style fried liver starch paste directly sprayed on the opposite side. The latter looked at the developed deltoid muscles on the shoulders that were still exposed in late autumn and early winter, and silently wiped his face clean with a handkerchief without saying a word.

The big man said, "You are too amateurs. The only ones worth seeing in these five grades of tests are the first grade, and the others are pure nonsense!"

The big man's voice was loud, and a sentence made the noise of the whole restaurant soar. He didn't feel that he had influenced others at all, and he said endlessly.

"This year, the Hongshan Academy is worthy of attention, and there are only two people worth of attention in the first grade, one is Bai Xiao and the other is Qingyue. Their fame is famous in Hongshan and even the entire Qin Empire, and Qingyue is even better here..."

As soon as this said, the man who was silently wiping his face on the opposite side could not help it.

"Your words are ridiculous. The one who is even better is obviously Bai Xiao. Don't rely on your strength to talk nonsense and mislead your friends from afar. Who doesn't know about the stories of the two people from the Snow Mountain? Compared to the demon princess who were optimistic about being the master from the beginning and trained with all his strength, Bai Xiao's experience is more legendary and stronger. When he went to the border county, he could even compete with the preceptors of the Huihuang Valley. Why should Qingyue compare with him? Didn't Hongshan Academy also divide him into two groups with everyone else in the first grade, so that he felt that his strength was barely balanced?"

This made many diners in the restaurant keep nodding.

Even if they are not natives from Hongshan, since they have come here, most people will know the outline of the stories of Bai Xiao and Qingyue. Those who are more enthusiastic about live broadcasts have investigated the information early and are clear about the stories of these two legendary characters.

Objectively speaking, Qingyue's performance in the past year is worthy of the favor of the Grand Master for her. However, on the other hand, Bai Xiao's legendary story is far above Qingyue, which makes countless people secretly complain that the Grand Master is really blind on the snow-capped mountains. He missed the most dazzling pearl. No wonder he has been poor for many years since he became a Grand Master...

But this strong man who was fucked with the liver insisted that Qingyue was better, which was a challenge to everyone's common sense.

Facing dozens of pairs of doubtful eyes in the crowded restaurant, the strong man sneered a few times, put down the authentic small bowl of Chengnan flavor, and said, "So you are laymen, you can tell by just looking at the strength and weakness? It's so simple, does Hongshan City still dare to open a gambling plate? The Grand Master saved two young boys and girls at the same time on the snowy mountain, but only chose Qingyue as his disciple. He really has no vision? His fortune is bad enough. If he is still blind, how can he be firmly ranked second in the human master? Can you not think about these questions?"

This reprimand did make some people with unknown details feel hesitant, but the diner on the opposite side who was criticized for the authentic Hongshan Nancheng flavor fried liver was unwilling to let go: "You are simply avoiding the important things. No matter how good the master has, there are still many mistakes in the wise. The gambling market in Hongshan City is not a bet on the winner of Bai Xiao and Qingyue's single-handed challenge. But no matter what, Bai Xiao has had countless brilliant resumes in the past six months to prove himself, and Qingyue has been eclipsed in comparison. You can't deny this point, right?!"

The strong man continued to sneer a few times and responded, "It's so pale? You laymen can say this! I'm afraid Bai Xiao himself would laugh out loud when he heard it. No, he might be so angry that he would beat you to death on the spot! I ask you, what is Bai Xiao's status in the Snow Mountain Tribe? He is the son of the leader! He is the only prince in the Qin Empire! And what is Qingyue's origin? The daughter of Wu Zhu, whose status is very different! That's fine, there is a girl from Xueshan named Lan Lan, who is the granddaughter of the chief Wu Zhu. This position is not easy to find similar cases in Qin. Let's just treat it as the eldest son of the Lu family. The status is different from that of the prince. As for appearance and strength, people who have seen it naturally have also seen it. So why did Bai Xiao fall in love with Qingyue, who was still unknown at the time, but gave up the obviously more matching Lan Lan? Have you ever considered the reason?"

This question obviously goes a lot deeper, and many people are speechless immediately, and many single dogs even bark in anger.

The strong man was at ease, as if he had already escaped the low-level interest of being single, and said in an experienced manner: "Of course, it is because Qingyue has the potential to be recognized by Bai Xiao. Even when she was in a downturn, Bai Xiao thought that she had the ability to match her, so he fell in love with her. It is fake for men and women to date, love at first sight, and vows are all fake. Both parties will inevitably have a rough weighing of each other's value in their hearts. Bai Xiao believes that the other party has a value that is no less than his own, so he will never leave her!"

Such a profound theory is completely beyond the understanding of most diners. Even the restaurant owner who specializes in the authentic breakfast in Nancheng is like listening to the heavenly book and lying on the counter with his eyes wide open.

The strong man looked a little proud and continued, "Everyone knows what happened next. Qingyue was favored by the great master. The dragon entered the sea and soared into the sky. Although it was indeed not as conspicuous as Bai Xiao achieved, if you think about it, a person who could still interact with Bai Xiao equally in a dilemma must take off when he came to a suitable environment. In comparison, Bai Xiao was practicing cultivation that he was not adapted to. The legendary stories afterwards depended more on his past accumulation. So if you think about it, which one of them will make faster progress? Which one is stronger at this stage?"

The restaurant was speechless for a moment, which formed an extremely sharp contrast with the noise of the surrounding shopping streets.

Because of this issue, most people have never considered it before!

Qingyue's low-key is not only her own wish, but also the Grandmaster is deliberately suppressing relevant news. Therefore, many people don't know much about this Demonic Princess. They only know that she caused a sensation when she first arrived in Hongshan City, but it was soon submerged under Bai Xiao's rays. In the next six months, what she experienced and how much she grew up was completely unknown! People only think that Bai Xiao is so strong that no one can match her, but after listening to this strong man's explanation, it seems that things are not that simple?

After contemplation, there is naturally silence.

Such an unusual situation has attracted many curious diners to watch. There is a faint wave of people vaguely in front of this authentic Hongshan Nancheng breakfast shop!

Facing the vast audience, some people will be timid at the moment, and some people will be even more passionate. This strong man who likes to eat authentic Chengnan flavor fried liver is obviously the latter. While reaching out, he added a bowl of authentic Chengnan flavored bean sauce, he started talking nonstop.

"Of course, if Bai Xiao and Qingyue go to fight that simple and rough ring battle, Bai Xiao will of course win, but the test of Hongshan Academy is not an arena competition, but rather place both sides on a stage with extremely complex situations, testing both sides' magical cultivation, theoretical knowledge, interpersonal communication skills, etc. Do you really think Bai Xiao has an advantage in this comprehensive duel? Which of the glorious achievements he has achieved in the past was achieved by something other than combat power?"

For a moment, the restaurant became even more silent. Onlookers outside the restaurant whispered and began to shake their heads.

So the strong man became even more proud: "I won't belittle Bai Xiao's ability, but in this comprehensive test, I will certainly be more optimistic about Qingyue!"

The diner on the opposite side couldn't help but retort: ​​"According to what you said, if Qingyue was no less than Bai Xiao, or even above him, why did Hongshan Academy make such a strange group? Bai Xiao was one group, and everyone else was one group?"

The strong man laughed and said, "Isn't this simple? First, this is the year-end test of Hongshan Academy, not a confrontation competition like Chiyu Island Conference. The outcome of the game has no direct correlation with the ranking! Even if Bai Xiao loses, if he eliminates more than 140 people on the opposite side in succession before losing, leaving only Qingyue as a commander, which side do you think is the winner? Who can win the school year? Second, the grouping of more than 100 people is not an advantage. On the contrary, it is the test proposed by the college to Qingyue! Think about it, those more than 100 people are from all over the world.

Many of the demon elites from wealthy families, even if Qingyue is very talented and does not have a superior or subordinate relationship with each other, why should they cooperate with Qingyue’s battle? Everyone has their own thoughts, and it is normal to have a loose sand. Qingyue’s strength lies in her comprehensive ability, so whether she can integrate the strength of more than 100 classmates is the test given to her by the college. If she cannot do it, it is equivalent to Bai Xiao’s throwing spear and throwing off the target, which is a serious mistake. So from this perspective, Qingyue is basically fighting with heavy burdens. So in the eyes of Hongshan Academy, there is no need to say more about which side really gains the upper hand, right?"

When I heard this, let alone those spectators who rushed over and were blocked outside the restaurant, even the diner who was squirting with a frying face at the beginning, were silent, and his face was unstable.

There was a faint voice in the restaurant.

"Do you think he makes sense?"

"It sounds like nothing wrong. It makes sense logically. I was also curious before, what is magical about Qingyue that makes Bai Xiao devote himself to it..."

"Yes, it would have been fine if it weren't for Lan Lan. There was clearly such a cute suitor, but he ignored it. Now thinking about it, maybe Qingyue was really surprisingly amazing!"

"Wait, women are too powerful, shouldn't they lose points instead?"

"Tsk, you are so shameful to think like a scumbag. No wonder Xiaofang broke up with you!"

After arousing a lot of discussion among the crowd, the strong man who liked the authentic flavor of Hongshan City South fried liver stood up and left, and disappeared from the corners of the alleys of the shop streets under the admiration of everyone.

However, as soon as I turned the alley, the confidence and detachment on the strong man's face were wiped out.

Because at the end of the corner of the alley, a woman with a low figure but majestic appearance was staring at him straight.

The strong man quickly stepped forward two steps, bent down, and knelt on one knee: "Gangmaster..."

The woman waved her hand. Although her gestures were casual, she had irresistible force, which lifted the strong man with a thorny muscle.

"Report the results directly."

The strong man quickly lowered his head and said, "Everything is in the plan. I have successfully incited everyone present. I noticed that 20% of them have directly changed their betting plan."

The woman nodded: "Very good, continue to perform your mission, change the place, change the argument, and don't let people notice the abnormality."

"Please rest assured, everything is in the plan!" Although the strong man lowered his head, he showed an excited expression.

The woman who can control the entire underground world of Hongshan South City said "very good", that's an achievement that thousands of people from the Snake Gang dream of!

This is a real big shot of the wind and rain. Although her reputation is not good and many people don’t even know her existence, her power can be explained by simple examples.

With just one word from her, all the authentic Nancheng-style breakfasts that are popular in the shopping streets will be unified into spicy and sour noodles! There are millions of people in the entire Nancheng, and you don’t want to eat anything except spicy and sour noodles!

The deterrent power of the Snake Gang Xiaoqing is so terrifying!
