"what happened?"
Li Ji saw Raven pointing anxiously at the big screen and thought something serious had happened. But when he followed Raven's gaze to the screen on the stage, he said with some relief, "Oh, you mean this? I see it. Is there a problem?"
Raven watched Li Ji's nonchalant attitude with growing anxiety.
If this continues, even if they answer all the questions correctly, they can only get third place.
That rusty iron hammer smells so good!!
She was truly unwilling to simply hand it over to Colombia or Victoria.
Even so, this wasn't what worried her the most.
What worries him most is that Li Ji is acting as if nothing happened, as if he is the one in first place right now!
"There are only three rounds left. If this continues, we won't be able to get that reward collectible. Aren't you worried at all?"
[Brother Feng, it's time to step up your game! Raven's getting impatient.]
[Even if the streamer puts in a lot of effort, it won't help. They just have higher base assets and higher returns, unless they lose right now.]
[What can we do? Unless the outcome becomes extremely unpredictable, but even then, there's risk on our side!]
[The remaining players are all highly skilled; it's bound to be challenging. They can't be eliminated as easily as before, right?]
However, no matter how anxious the raven was, Li Ji maintained the same attitude.
"I'm quite anxious. Didn't you see that I went all-in every game? That's because the other player didn't make any mistakes, there's nothing I can do about it."
Li Ji shrugged and said with a helpless expression.
However, his wording wasn't 'understanding' or 'calculation ability,' but rather 'operation'...
The eighth round of the competition is about to begin.
But just as the contestant was about to enter the arena, Li Ji turned his back to the arena and shouted at Kannot:
"It's getting a bit boring. Cannot, turn off the odds. If you can, just turn off the rankings too. Anyway, whoever loses will leave, so the rankings don't matter anymore."
"You think betting is boring? If you're going to gamble, you should gamble properly. This isn't a cyber casino where you lose some kind of electronic currency. These are all real Originium Ingots. The people here are always copying me. It's making me a little sleepy."
He yawned, leaning wearily against the railing in the first row. "You guys all planned this, right? As the top six besides me, as long as you all refrain from voting, my participation will significantly alter the odds. At that point, you can simply follow suit without any risk, because I wouldn't create any risk for myself..."
Li Ji looked up at Cannot again, and the other party gave an "OK" sign to tell Li Ji that he had turned off the odds.
"Since you all like copying me so much, then stop looking at the odds and just look at me. I won't allow you to look at anyone else now, okay?"
After confirming that Kannot had completed the required steps, Li Ji began to walk towards the side of the spirit medium, gradually moving away from his seat, and said with a slight smile:
"It's amazing that you guys could come up with this method in such a short time. You guys are quite in sync, just to copy an answer... It makes it seem like I have information. To be honest, neither Raven nor I have any information about this contest. We've only managed to get this far by sheer luck. And now I believe my luck will carry me to the final victory. It all depends on whether you dare to follow."
"Ridiculous."
An Hong adjusted his glasses and shook his head.
"Who do you think you are, presumptuously presuming on yourself? Ask around, who here even knows you?"
Han Yu looked at Li Ji with disdain and mocked him.
"You're not hallucinating after winning seven straight games, are you, little brother? Everyone here is ranked higher than you in the world."
A scantily clad woman chimed in.
"Is that so? Then I guess I was just being presumptuous. Even though the odds didn't change at all before I placed my bet at the last second, if you think I'm an idiot, then I really was just being presumptuous. I don't want to waste any more time with you guys. I'm too lazy to argue with you over the last few tenths of a second in the next three games. If you're going to win, you should win generously."
Li Ji didn't even mention the new enemy to them; now he only had one thing to do...
He raised the voting device in his hand and, without even looking at the lineup below the field, resolutely pressed the button for the blue team.
In this round, there are no other investment options... because here, it's all or nothing!
The blue button was pressed, and a bright blue light appeared on the button, indicating a successful selection. Li Ji's choice could no longer be changed at this point!
“You can take my nonchalant behavior as the act of a mental patient. Now the mental patient has made his choice and revealed his answer.”
"Have you ever played Ursus Roulette? I loved watching others play it when I was a kid, and now it's finally my turn to play it."
He smiled innocently and sweetly once again, and said to everyone else:
"You can choose to continue to trust me, or you can choose to trust your own judgment; it's just that there are only three rounds left."
Li Ji raised one hand, spreading all five fingers out to show everyone present.
"fifty or fifty".
"I'm betting on these three 50% chances; that's the kind of atmosphere this place should have."
"The 'gun' is already loaded. I don't know if the bullet is hidden on the left or the right. Let's see who will be the first to fall into hell."
The rousing music reached another climax, and the lead singer's voice seemed like a demon luring people into hell.
[Its a monster party(Its a monster party)
Ursus Roulette Wheel... (Rotlette Wheel...!)
Everyone's all in (Everyone's all in)
Never stop... (Don't stop...!)
All your bets are due, though(all all)
The stakes are endless... (Sigh!)
You may die, but I always win!
You might win, but I'll never lose!
As the music ended, the vast arena fell into dead silence once more, with only Li Ji's mocking voice still echoing throughout:
"I'm ready to fire. Now it's your turn."
Chapter 18: Cyber Fraud
[ah? ]
[Oh no, it might really explode! Don't let it ruin my raven!!]
[Even if we can't be number one, we can't play like this. Kannot has turned off the screen; if we just guessed properly, wouldn't we have won easily?]
[Damn it, you cowards shouldn't drag Wanfeng down with you. This is how you have to play! I love watching this!]
[Bored, I want to see rivers of blood, ALL, ALL, ALL!]
[Wanfeng must have his reasons for doing this. Even if he really wanted to drag Gaul down with him, would he want to die himself?]
In his seat, Li Ji placed his voting device on the stands.
Now that he has chosen his answer, there is no way he can change it now.
He was as confident as a top student who held up the answers in the exam hall after finishing the test.
But now, the athletes from other countries' teams are all looking at Li Ji with extremely complicated expressions.
Even if Li Ji is a top student... he can't possibly choose the answer before the lineup below is even revealed, right?
It's like handing in the answers before the teacher has even handed out the test papers.
If Li Ji can still win under these circumstances, then there seems to be no other explanation besides cheating.
This move clearly caused headaches for the other teams present.
Especially the chords from Letania.
She didn't really want to participate in this plagiarism, but one victory after another... caused greed to completely nip this emerging sense of justice in the bud.
"Oh no, what are we going to do now... we can only guess."
She looked up at the audience below the stage.
Accompanied by heavy, thumping footsteps, four figures as imposing as mountains rushed out of the red gate.
Each of them had a pair of jet-black antlers growing on their heads, and their green helmets were shrouded in a deep black mist, making their faces extremely blurry.
An eerie and terrifying aura instantly crept up He Xian's entire body; even just a glance from afar made the hairs on his body stand on end.
Chord looked at this enemy she had never seen before, just like the Arc Light Blade Guard Commander just now, completely detached from her understanding of enemies.
It was yet another enemy she had absolutely no recollection of, or even had never heard of!
Before she could even think, two more blue figures staggered out from the other side of the blue door.
The golden headdress, like a crown, clashed in stark contrast to their withered, branch-like lower limbs.
Its sharp claws appeared unusually large against its slender body.
This makes it look like a deformed creature devoid of any aesthetic appeal.
……
"The eighth round of guessing officially begins! From now on, I, Kannot, will personally be providing the updates!"
After turning off the screen above, Kannot raised his hands to introduce the players from both sides.
"The blue team consists of the 'Woodcrack Warriors' from Sami. They were once the glorious warriors of the Tree Scar tribe, but now they have fallen to become the vanguard of the demons along with their leader!"
"The red side, on the other hand, are the sea creatures from Iberia, the Deep Sea Reef Rifters. They are highly aggressive individuals born from the sea ripples, capable of causing great damage to the surrounding natural environment and being modified by their brethren. Even life forms that do not belong to the group are included in this category."
