Chapter 628 - 628 Mechanical Beast (2)
628 Mechanical Beast (2)
That was, the competition schedule was arranged on the same day.
After all the contestants were in place, the competition would then proceed with the random selection of opponents.
After the contestants were arranged, the banker had to look at the odds before the contestants went on stage. Then, he had to arrange the odds for the various scenarios such as if they would lose or win, how many rounds they would win, whether they would be injured or disabled in the match, and so on.
This was a test of the relationship between the banker and the player.
After all, one could not bring a communication device to the arena during the competition.
Therefore, it was a big test for the bankers to make arrangements before entering the ring.
Just like now.
“Yu Hao versus Ji Sicheng!”
When he heard his opponent’s name, a slightly immature image immediately appeared in Yu Hao’s mind, but the content of his words was very “mature”.
“The odds of Yu Hao winning against Ji Sicheng are…”
“The disability odds are…”
“The odds for Yu Hao’s three consecutive wins are…”
“The odds for Ji Sicheng’s three consecutive wins are…”
Listening to the long string of odds in his mind, Yu Hao controlled himself from walking too fast to the arena.
After all, the odds always changed before the match began.
As for him, he needed to wait for the people behind him to make a decision before following them to the competition.
“Winning and crippling the other party’s beasts. From the looks of it, this is the option with the highest odds.”
“This time, a sugar daddy has invested a lot of money. Although your opponent has 13 wins, his overall strength is average. His beasts are only purple. If you use the true strength of your beasts, you can win. Best of luck.”
“…”
As the voice transmission bug in his mind ended, Yu Hao walked to the arena and looked at his opponent for this match.
Ji Sicheng, who has won 15 games in three days, is one of the strongest contestants.
Although it was not a clean win streak, this win rate belonged to the first tier of all the contestants.
He was also the third place in their group.
Currently, Yu Hao had 7 wins and 8 losses in 15 matches.
It could only be said that this result could not even be ranked in the top 60 of the group. Currently, he was ranked 66.
It could be said that this was a competition with a huge disparity in strength.
This could be seen from the betting odds of the various platforms.
Moreover, as the competition progressed, everyone was collecting information on those powerful contestants. Ji Sicheng was obviously one of them.
As for Yu Hao, it couldn’t be said that he was nameless. It could only be said that there was no such person.
As a result, when many people saw the two sides, they began to assert that this was a competition with a huge disparity in strength.
“Tsk ~ Fortunately, when I heard Ji Sicheng’s name, I directly all-in on him. Today is another day to receive a small guarantee!”
“Damn, the odds are too low now. The odds for Ji Sicheng’s five consecutive wins are only 1.4…”
“Aren’t you spouting nonsense? Other than losing one match each in the previous two days, he didn’t lose any of the others. Furthermore, he won five consecutive victories yesterday.”
“You’re not betting on the opposite this time? The odds for this guy called Yu Hao are more than 3x. The odds for crippling Ji Sicheng’s beasts are more than 8x. The odds for achieving five consecutive wins have directly exceeded 10x!”
“Hehe, only an idiot would buy it!”
“Speaking of which, could this guy be someone pushed out by those dog farms? The odds are too ridiculous!”
“What are you talking about? Let me show you something even more ridiculous. The guy next door has already lost 14 times in a row. Now, the odds of him winning one match are about to exceed 5x. Why don’t you say that this person is a shill for the dog farm?”
“Uh… I’ve seen this person. He’s an unlucky person. It seems like his beasts were injured before the competition…”
“Tsk, I bet 100 yuan on Yu Hao. What if he really wins? 7 wins and 8 losses aren’t bad. There’s still a chance for a small universe explosion~”
“Come on, aren’t you just a gambling dog? Why don’t you take a look at the beasts on both sides? Ji Sicheng’s Axe Hunter is a purple-quality dual-attribute beast. Yu Hao’s is only blue-quality. The difference between the two is too great ~”
“That’s true…”
While the audience below the stage and many people watching the live-stream were discussing the odds, this competition, which did not have many people paying attention to it and had a huge disparity in strength, officially began—
Ji Sicheng looked at the beast summoned by the other party and looked at the Beast Taming Index in his hand curiously.
He had watched two of this person’s individual competitions.
His beasts could only be said to be interesting, but they were definitely not strong.
[Name] Mechanical Phantom Beast
[Quality] Blue
[Attribute] Machinery
[Bloodline] None
[Level] Advanced Level 3
[Skills] Mechanical Transformation (Mechanical Flying Blade, Metal Shockwave, Mechanical Flying Claw)
[Overview] A phantom beast from the Beast Taming World’s Mechanical City. In their beast form, their attack methods are relatively simple. After transforming into a mechanical form, they will reveal their true strength.
This was the first time Ji Sicheng had seen mechanical beasts.
However, according to his previous observations, this beast only seemed to have good physique, resistance to beatings, and strength. Other than that, he did not find any special advantages.
Therefore, Ji Sicheng speculated that the skills of these beasts should be mainly passive.
Unable to see the specific skill information of the Mechanical Phantom Beast, he looked at the “Hand Axe Hunter” he had summoned and gave the order to attack.
“Let’s exhaust it from afar first. When the other party is tired, I’ll cut to the side and try to kill it in one strike to force them to surrender.”
This was the route that Ji Sicheng had set for this match.
The reason why he wanted to force the other party to surrender was mainly because after the three days of competition, most of the contestants had agreed on something.
After all, there were times when everyone could not defeat their opponents. If you killed the other party’s beast today and vice versa tomorrow, wouldn’t many people be forced to forfeit many matches?
Hence, most competitions would stop at the last minute. Even if they were injured, it would not be too serious or affect them too much.
Of course, it was not that there were no ferocious existences where they would directly kill or cripple the other party.
There were also some fans of such a contestant.
It was just that it was not accepted by the mainstream.
There were even people who felt that such a person should be disqualified from the competition.
Lin Ye did not say anything about this.
Although the competition did not advocate killing, he would not stop it.
Otherwise, one couldn’t possibly have to negotiate with the beasts in the future, right?
Of course, even if such a ferocious person walked to the end of the competition and ranked in the top ten, it was impossible for him to obtain the position of the branch dojo master.
It was obvious that Lin Ye would not choose those who were strong but did not pass the temperament test.
Back to the competition.
Yu Hao looked at the humanoid beast hiding under the hood and holding an axe in both hands. Then, he looked at his Mechanical Phantom Beast.
Compared to the other party which had the appearance of the main character of Assassin’s Creed, the Mechanical Phantom Beast looked a little “ugly”.
The Mechanical Phantom Beast in beast form was a “tiger beast” that looked like a tiger and a lion.
However, because of the mechanical patterns on its body, it looked a little incongruous.
Coupled with the fake fur that was more out of character, it looked very plastic.
Therefore, when faced with the Hand Axe Hunter’s rapidly flying axe, this ugly-looking beast directly chose to dodge. In everyone’s eyes, it seemed quite reasonable.
However, having won 13 times, the Hand Axe Hunter was not so easy to deal with.
The axe in his hand seemed to have a life of its own. After throwing it out, it could quickly fly back into his hand and throw it out again.
Therefore, even if the Mechanical Phantom Beast risked its life to dodge, it could not help but take two axe blows, causing its fake fur to crack open.
This made it look even uglier.
There was even a burst of laughter below the arena.
On the other hand, Yu Hao didn’t have much of a reaction to this.
He only paid attention to the distance between the Mechanical Phantom Beast and the Hand Axe Hunter.
After resisting two more times, the distance between the two was only about 20 meters.
Now!
“Transform into your mechanical form!”
Following Yu Hao’s order, the Mechanical Phantom Beast that was still running suddenly stopped. Then, it stood on its hind legs and began to undergo an unexpected change—
