Chapter 262 This is called predicting win or loss
When Yang Taishan asked Wang Wei to choose a challenge target, the veterans who had been selected for the Tianjiao List in previous years did not react at all.
Among these old men, the weakest has already reached the first-grade martial arts master. Wang Wei, a newcomer who has just broken through to the martial arts master level, will never choose them as his opponents unless his head is stuck in the door.
Wang Tianyu also had no fluctuations in his heart. His thoughts were similar to those old men. Under normal circumstances, Wang Wei would never choose him as his opponent.
Speaking of this, we have to talk about the rules of the Tianjiao Ranking Change Activity.
There are a total of 108 places on the Tianjiao list, and the rules for the list change activity are also very simple.
Opponents will be selected in order starting from the 108th place. Everyone can choose an opponent by himself. If he can defeat this opponent, he will get the opponent's ranking, and the losing opponent will fall to the challenger's ranking.
Just like Wang Wei now, he chooses to challenge Lei Xing who is ranked 87th.
If Wang Wei wins, he will get the 87th place, and Lei Xing will drop to 108th place.
On the contrary, if Wang Wei fails, the rankings of the two will not change.
Everyone only has one chance to take the initiative to challenge, so choosing an opponent is definitely not something that can be taken lightly.
That is to say, even if Lei Xing was defeated by Wang Wei and fell to 108th place, he could still challenge Wang Wei or others again.
Regardless of whether the rules of the ranking change activity are fair or not, they are very simple and clear.
Wang Wei has big ambitions. He only has the strength of a low-ranking martial arts master, and 87th place is the best ranking he can get with this strength.
From the 87th place onwards, those people were at least first-grade martial masters, and Wang Wei was simply not able to deal with them.
Looking at the opponent chosen by Wang Wei, many newcomers secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, it is definitely a good thing to play one less game, and it may also allow you to get a better ranking.
You should know that the Tianjiao List adopts a last-place elimination system. The higher the ranking, the lower the risk of being eliminated from the bottom.
Seeing that he was chosen as the opponent, Lei Xing just sneered and then flew towards the ring as well.
"Choosing me as your opponent is the best guarantee to ensure that you remain in last place."
Facing Lei Xing's ridicule, Wang Wei simply replied indifferently.
"I don't like the number 108, so I'm going to give it to you."
There was tension between the two men, but they did not take action immediately because the time had not yet come.
"Opposite confirmed, you have five minutes to prepare, and the battle will begin in five minutes."
That's right, there is five minutes of preparation time before the battle begins.
These few minutes of preparation time are ostensibly reserved for the opposing teams, but in reality this is not the case.
Seeing the two men standing on the ring, most people in the spectator seats took out something - a mobile phone.
The purpose of taking out this thing is very simple, which is to use it to participate in a prediction activity.
In every battle of the leaderboard change event, spectators and even outsiders can participate in the event.
This activity is simple and highly participatory, which is to predict the winner or loser of the two opposing teams.
This activity was also organized by Wuhan University in Shanghai. Since Wuhan University in Shanghai served as a notary, the participation rate of this activity was very high.
Wang Tianyu also took out his mobile phone and logged into a website.
The website's page is simple, even rough.
"Wang Weisheng? Lei Xingsheng?"
"Predicted countdown: 4 minutes and 2 seconds."
"Wang Weisheng: 60,014 primary points, 12 intermediate points."
"Lei Xingsheng: 48,561 primary points, 8 intermediate points."
The above information is the only one on the entire website.
The countdown time was getting shorter and shorter, and the points below Wang Wei and Lei Xing were also increasing.
The account that Wang Tianyu logged into at the moment also had points.
"Intermediate level points: 120 points."
The origin of this intermediate point is also very simple. One intermediate energy stone is equal to one intermediate point.
Correspondingly, one primary energy stone is equal to one primary point.
The 120 intermediate points in Wang Tianyu’s account were exchanged for 120 medium-grade energy stones.
Points and energy stones can be exchanged at any time. This is the reputation that Shanghai Wuda has built up over the years.
To put it simply, this activity of predicting winning or losing is a gamble, and Wuhan University in Shanghai is the banker.
However, the dealer of Shanghai Wuda is more cunning. He does not play the traditional game of taking one side and paying the other, but takes the game from both sides.
For example, in the current prediction, some people are optimistic about Wang Wei, while others are optimistic about Lei Xing.
Once the result of the battle comes out, if Wang Wei wins, then those who suppressed Lei Xing will naturally lose everything.
Those who bet on Wang Wei to win will get the points for betting on Lei Xing to win according to the proportion of the number of bets.
The bookmaker of Shanghai Wuda will not set the odds, nor will it design a scheme to deliberately cause someone to lose.
Because he is guaranteed to make a profit, no matter which side you bet on to win, Shanghai Wuda will take 10% of the total points as a handling fee.
After the total points are drawn, that will be the final number of points that the winner will get.
The 10% handling fee is definitely not low, and it is a business that is sure to make a profit.
However, it is precisely because of the presence of Shanghai University of Science and Technology as a guarantor that this prediction activity has become so big.
It’s not that no one is jealous of this business, but with a series of measures taken by Wuhan University in Shanghai, those illegal gambling activities have been severely cracked down.
The countdown time is getting shorter and shorter, and the points for participating in the event are getting bigger and bigger.
Looking at the number of points on the website, Wang Tianyu couldn't help but sigh.
"There are so many rich people, and they earn resources so quickly."
The countdown time returns to zero, and the window for pressing points on the website is closed at the same time.
"Wang Weisheng: 852,146 beginner points, 9,548 intermediate points."
"Lei Xingsheng: 796,523 primary level points, 8,865 intermediate level points."
The countdown ended and two huge score numbers appeared on the prediction website.
The combined points of the two people are more than 1 million basic points and nearly 20,000 intermediate points.
Such a number deeply shocked Wang Tianyu.
No wonder the student welfare of Wuhan University in Shanghai is the best among all universities in the country. This is because Wuhan University in Shanghai makes money quickly.
Just from this first battle, Shanghai Wuda University can collect a huge amount of handling fees.
The preparation time for both sides is 5 minutes, but the prediction activity ended at 4 minutes and 30 seconds.
About 30 seconds later, Yang Taishan's voice sounded again.
"Time is up, the battle begins."
As Yang Taishan finished speaking, Wang Wei and Lei Xing raised their weapons almost at the same time.
And in the audience, there was a burst of noise immediately.
