#72 - Game Rules
Quan Yi was a little sensitive to the word "gamble."
"Ah? Mother, isn't this gambling?" Quan Yi asked doubtfully.
"Hehe, that's right, essentially this is gambling. If it were other forms of gambling, I definitely wouldn't let you touch it, but a fighting gamble is different. For soul masters, it's actually a way to train their eyesight.
If you want to earn gold coins through fighting gambles, you not only need to understand the martial souls, levels, and information of both sides, but also deduce the outcome of the soul fight based on this information.
Moreover, the Great Soul Arena rarely manipulates matches behind the scenes, ensuring basic fairness and justice. So you can participate in the fighting gambles here with peace of mind," Su Ling'er explained earnestly.
After thinking about it, Quan Yi felt that what his mother said made sense.
"I see, I understand. But, Mother, this is my first time visiting a soul fight, and I don't know anything about the contestants. I don't know who to choose right now."
"Don't worry about that. The Soul Arena will provide basic information about both sides. You can deduce the outcome based on this information."
After speaking, Su Ling'er called the service staff waiting outside the door and asked for a copy of the information.
"Mother, does the main Soul Arena also provide contestant information before the match?" Quan Yi asked his mother after the waiter left the room.
Quan Yi was very puzzled by his mother's behavior, because no one would tell him the specific information of his opponent in advance when he participated in one-on-one soul fights.
"This is a privilege of the VIP lounge, to obtain contestant information in advance. Of course, this information is actually very basic, and it's hard to ensure even its accuracy. If the opponent is a newcomer, the Soul Arena can only provide information on soul power level and martial soul."
Su Ling'er's answer made his jaw drop. He didn't expect the so-called privilege to be so insignificant.
Based on this alone, it was difficult for Quan Yi to deduce the outcome.
However, on second thought, the Soul Arena wasn't stupid. It couldn't do anything that would harm its own interests.
If they provided detailed information, wouldn't that be shooting themselves in the foot?
The people in the VIP lounge were all wealthy, and even a small gamble from them would be a big loss for the Soul Arena.
"So, don't rely too much on this information. It's just for reference. But, it's not much fun just like that. I want to play a game with you."
"What game?" Quan Yi asked, puzzled.
"After each soul fight, you have to participate in a fighting gamble once, and you can only bet ten gold soul coins.
Until you obtain the silver badge, if you earn more gold soul coins through fighting gambles than the principal you invested, then I will prepare a surprise gift at the end."
Su Ling'er's real purpose wasn't to make money, but to train Quan Yi's eyesight. Eyesight is related to the growth of experience and knowledge, which is also a different kind of training.
The battle in the morning made her understand that battles of the same level had little training effect on Quan Yi. Therefore, she could only increase Quan Yi's combat experience through this alternative method.
Moreover, in order to arouse Quan Yi's interest and make him participate wholeheartedly, Su Ling'er also set up a reward mechanism to motivate Quan Yi.
Su Ling'er had put a lot of thought into Quan Yi's development.
"Okay, it's a deal." Although it was called a game, Quan Yi knew that this was a form of training. The reward was certainly intriguing, but the process would also be a kind of growth for Quan Yi.
So Quan Yi agreed to the challenge without hesitation.
Considering his own cultivation, Quan Yi's original plan was to participate in soul fights every Saturday and Sunday. If the winning streak plan went smoothly, it would only take fifteen weeks, about four months, to complete the silver badge acquisition.
After the first soul fight, Quan Yi was confident in completing this plan.
Moreover, Quan Yi also had to consider the odds of both sides. Even if he bet on a team with a high winning rate, sometimes he couldn't earn many gold soul coins.
Su Ling'er's game sounded simple, but achieving the goal was not an easy task.
However, it was only interesting if there was difficulty. Otherwise, Quan Yi might not have much motivation just by participating in soul fights.
Soon, the service staff brought over the booklet with the information.
Opening the booklet, it contained the specific information of both sides, including name, martial soul, and soul power level.
The upcoming event was a seven-on-seven team battle, and both teams were all silver badge teams.
Each member was a Soul Venerable, with a level above forty.
Perhaps because the two teams had participated in more soul fights in this Soul Arena, the information in the booklet was richer than expected. The soul skill information of most of the members was also recorded in the booklet.
Although the description of the soul skills was somewhat vague and not specific.
However, this was very helpful for Quan Yi to participate in the fighting gamble. There was still some time before the soul fight started, and Quan Yi began to quickly browse the information of the two teams.
Turning to the back, it also stated the specific registration time of the two teams, the team's winning rate, and, most importantly, the odds.
After roughly flipping through it, Quan Yi had a basic understanding of the situation of both sides.
Although it was only some basic information, he could see a lot of things from this information.
The two sides were the Beast Team and the Libra Team.
The Beast Team, as the name suggests, had members whose martial souls were all beasts, and the team was composed of power attack and agility attack types, making it an extremely offensive team.
In contrast, the Libra Team had a balanced team structure, with power attack, defense, agility attack, control, and support types.
Because their captain was a control-type soul master with the Libra martial soul, the team was named the Libra Team.
The soul power levels of the members of both sides were not very different, but the odds of the Libra Team were as high as 2.5.
That is to say, if Quan Yi bet one gold soul coin on the Libra Team, he could get 2.5 gold soul coins.
At the same time, this also meant that most people were not optimistic about the Libra Team.
The two teams had never fought each other before, but the records of the two teams were very different.
The Beast Team had been registered for more than five years and had participated in hundreds of team soul fights. It was an experienced veteran team and was not far from obtaining a team silver badge.
The Libra Team had been registered for less than half a year. Although they had participated in dozens of team soul fights, their record was relatively bleak.
Perhaps because the team was newly established, the Libra Team's initial winning rate was pitifully low. It was not until recently that the Libra Team began to improve slightly, barely accumulating a three-game winning streak.
Viewers who had a slight understanding of the two teams might think that the immature Libra Team was difficult to compete with the experienced Beast Team.
However, after re-analyzing the data of both sides, Quan Yi had a different idea.
After studying it for a long time, Quan Yi closed the booklet.
"How is it? Have you thought about which team to bet on?" Su Ling'er asked from the side.
She had also finished reading the information in the booklet, but she didn't give Quan Yi any hints or suggestions. Everything had to be decided by Quan Yi himself.
However, she also knew that Quan Yi had liked and been good at analyzing things since he was a child. This was Quan Yi's advantage.
So, she was very curious about what kind of choice Quan Yi would make.
"I've thought about it. I'm betting on the Libra Team in this match." Quan Yi's tone was very firm, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
