"Arrogant! So arrogant!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the audience gasped in shock. How dare Lin Mo speak to Young Master Tang like that? How could he be so arrogant!
Even the contestants on stage were so shocked that they covered their mouths.
The burly tiger and the thieving rat stared at each other for a moment, wide-eyed.
Mo Su couldn't help but be drawn in by Lin Mo's words, and her brows furrowed slightly.
So arrogant, does he actually have some skills? Did I underestimate him before?
Young Master Tang frowned slightly, then suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Good, that's the kind of person I like!"
As he spoke, Young Master Tang patted Lin Mo's shoulder hard.
He glanced at him with admiration, then looked at everyone and said, "From now on, Lin Mo is my brother, Tang!"
After saying that, Young Master Tang angrily shook his slicked-back hair.
Upon hearing this, the audience and female fans below the stage gasped in shock! Then they looked at Lin Mo with envy.
This guy actually managed to win over Young Master Tang! How enviable!
"Damn it! What incredible luck did this guy have today?!"
"Exactly! I wish him no toilet paper when he goes to the bathroom and no winning hand when he plays cards!"
Not only the audience, but even Lin Mo was a little confused. What are you doing?
Did you pick up the wrong script?
Shouldn't he have given himself a good laugh and then proven himself wrong?
Before Lin Mo could react, Young Master Tang gave a carefree laugh, then casually put on his glasses, turned around and smiled, saying, "Lin Mo, I'll be waiting for you in the finals!"
"If you're a brother, come and fight me!"
Lin Mo: "6".
Qingque was also amused by this young master Tang.
"Wow, everyone seems to be in high spirits! Especially Mr. Lin Mo, the Great Demon King of Luofu, and Mr. Tang, the dark horse of this competition and the predetermined champion, have a final showdown agreement!"
"Then let's start the competition now without delay!"
At the host's command, an electronic lottery system instantly appeared in front of the contestants.
Each person can simply tap the button to draw their assigned group.
Lin Mo stared at the holographic panel in front of him and slowly tapped the square draw button. Soon, with a shaking sound, the number on the left began to rotate and finally stopped on the character "四" (four), which meant that his elimination group was holding the competition at table number four.
After drawing the card table, Qingque hurriedly ran over to check with Lin Mo and found that the two were not at the same card table, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
Qingque was at table number five, one table apart from the other two.
Young Master Tang is number seven.
The woman in plain clothes is number eight.
By sheer coincidence, the group of people were not at the same card table.
"Alright, all contestants, please take your positions. The competition is about to begin!"
The host, holding his microphone, gave instructions and then clicked a button on the podium, causing a huge holographic screen to appear on the audience stage.
On the holographic screen, eight players were clearly visible at the poker table.
"Haha, a little gambling is fun, but excessive gambling is harmful. On this platform, everyone can place credits on their favorite players who are likely to advance. As for the rules, I don't think I need to explain them to you, right?"
The host laughed.
This betting rule, where you wager money on a player's advancement, is similar to betting on which team will win a match. If you win, you get money; if you lose, you lose money.
The more money you put in, the more you win if you win, and vice versa!
Upon hearing this, the crowd below cheered instantly, pulling out their credit points and placing them on the players they favored, based on their years of experience observing the game.
Who doesn't enjoy a little gambling when it comes to playing cards?
Despite the grand scale of the event, most people only wagered a few dozen dollars or even just a few credits; no one would be foolish enough to put all their money in.
Of course, this excludes Mr. Tang's die-hard fans.
Among the thirty-two contestants, the largest amount of money was bet on Young Master Tang, totaling 20,000 credits, mostly thanks to his cute female fans.
As for why it's only 20,000...
Because this small-scale cyber gambling game has a limit on the amount that can be recharged by a single person, which is very user-friendly.
The purpose of designing this was simply to liven things up; we never intended to profit from it, and the official team didn't even take a cut of the money...
Min Han, who was chugging cola, suddenly froze, then immediately took out his phone and went all in on Lin Mo.
Texas Hold'em is an art.
However, after going all in, he discovered that even though other players on Xianzhou were not optimistic, Lin Mo still had a lot of money on his plate... After all, although his reputation wasn't good elsewhere, it was still quite effective in Changletian.
Thinking of this, Fatty Min Han felt somewhat discouraged, and he couldn't help but complain:
"Hmph, doesn't Lin Mo know how to keep a low profile? Isn't it more fun to play dumb and outsmart others?!"
"Go, Brother Tang!"
Suddenly, the sound from beside him caught Min Han's attention. He glanced at Young Master Tang's terrifying bet amount, then compared it with Lin Mo's, and his eyes lit up!
He then quickly took out his phone and typed to Lin Mo: "[Hey, Lin Mo, I know your skill level. I have a way to make money here. You suppress your strength in the first two rounds, control the score, make it look like a narrow victory, and lower your betting amount. Then, in the final round, I'll go all in and beat Young Master Tang. We'll split the winnings 70/30. How about it?]"
