This is also how cautious he has always been.
After all, in the "Unlucky Guy Sharing Area" of the World Forum, there are many people who have used up all their points in excitement, and ended up not being able to pay even the 10 points required to translate the language at the start of the dungeon. These people were sleepwalking throughout the entire dungeon and couldn't even speak clearly to the NPCs.
That scene was so heartbreaking that anyone who heard about it cried.
After preparing everything, Su Mingan opened the World Forum.
The birthday wishes on the World Forum have gradually faded, and the forum homepage has become a series of greeting posts such as "Happy New Year" and "Happy 2024".
There is a bright red "Eighth World Countdown" in the upper right corner of the forum, showing 12 hours and 18 minutes.
On the forum, the countdown clock pattern was constantly turning, and blood was flowing between the hour hand and the second hand, making people feel a little dizzy.
As expected, the betting market before the peak competition has already been opened here.
A bright red slogan floated like a banner in the most prominent position of the forum:
[Top players, competing on the same stage! Betting and guessing, waiting for you to play! ]
“…They didn’t even change the slogan.”
Su Mingan remembered that this was also the slogan in this forum before the beginning of the Fourth World.
The organizers were so lazy that they didn't even bother to write a new one.
There are a total of one hundred contestants in this eighth world.
As the world game progresses, the level of players at the forefront is also decreasing.
Many dark horses emerged and replaced the previous players, while some old acquaintances gradually died in the dungeon, and some even disappeared without a trace.
It is normal for players at the top of the list to rise and fall, and for old players to be replaced by new ones, just like a passing tour.
Su Mingan clicked on the guessing interface, and a hundred people’s avatars and captions appeared in front of him at once.
All players who are unable to participate in the peak competition can choose one of the 100 players to bet on and guess who will be the winner standing at the end.
The organizer has stated in the guessing rules that there will only be one winner among the one hundred participants in the Eighth World.
It won't be like the Fourth World, where there are divisions between camps and multiple people can win at the same time.
This also makes the guessing situation even more confusing.
Not surprisingly, Su Mingan saw his own avatar in the first place; his odds were indeed the lowest.
[Player Su Mingan (odds 1:1)]
[Combat Power: 2335]
[Honor: "No. 1 Player", 100% SSS clearance in the first seven worlds, No. 1 in the second, third, and fourth levels, Boss Rabbit's favorite person in power.]
【Number of bets:】
“…”
This number even stunned Su Mingan himself.
The odds are one to one, there is no profit at all, and after deducting the handling fee, there may even be a loss. What are these people still betting on?
Although each person can only bet on one player, there are still over 700 million people betting on themselves.
...Do these 700 million people trust me so much?
Or do they think that investing in others is a huge loss, so they might as well invest in themselves symbolically to show their attitude?
After all, this was a competition of 100 people, and there would only be one winner in the end. It was not surprising that anyone would fail in the gutter. Even a fun-loving person like Noel was nervous, but the betting audience seemed to be certain that he would win.
...Perhaps, this is the result of his accumulation along the way.
It was his actions, his victories, his declarations and theories, and his confidence in the future that won the trust of these people.
Su Mingan looked at the person with the second highest odds, and it was not Noel, nor his old acquaintance Edward, but a woman named Isabella.
The woman has long curly brown hair and beautiful blue eyes, and in this photo you can see one of her robotic hands exposed.
From the outside, she is an intellectual and calm lady, with the feeling of a Western female scientist.
Su Mingan had seen her name around 30th on the list, but he had never expected that this person would become a dark horse in terms of odds.
However, the odds do not represent direct combat effectiveness. Perhaps because her survivability is extremely strong, which gives the audience confidence, her odds become very low.
Su Mingan had read the profile of every top player. Isabella's path should be... bionics and manipulators. Her bionics gave her a body that was hard to die, and her manipulators were responsible for supplementing her combat power. She seemed to have obtained a hidden reward in the White City dungeon in the second world, which helped her career evolution path.
Su Mingan no longer looked at Isabella, but took a look at the list of people participating in the Eighth World.
He discovered that there were only ninety-nine people on the odds table.
Croso, the player originally ranked 100th on the list, was tragically not included.
So...it turned out that it was Su Lin, the special player who was not included in the rankings, who replaced Klosso.
Su Lin's participation in the competition is good news for Su Mingan.
At least, before the final showdown, Su Lin would definitely be his assistant and could help him clear out those other players at the top of the list.
Su Mingan knew very well that as the number one player, and having caused such a big celebration the day before the start of the Eighth World, he would definitely be targeted by others after the dungeon began.
In the top competitive world, perfect clearance is not counted, and death will not wipe out your strength. This is a well-known fact. The same is true for the Werewolf dungeon in the fourth world.
Therefore, there is nothing shameful in fighting for victory, killing others, and setting conspiracies and traps.
In the world of top competition, there is no cost of failure, no constraints of moral kidnapping, and it will not affect the overall points at all. All participants fight just for a pure "victory".
In this way, everyone may attack him for the sake of victory. Some people will cooperate with him for the sake of profit, while others will be vigilant enough to eliminate the biggest threat first.
He will not let his guard down under the watchful eyes of the public.
…
In the remaining time, in addition to checking the strategy posts, Su Mingan went out again in the privacy fog and took a look at the current situation on the street.
In the past, during the peak competition of Werewolf in the Fourth World, the audience could only choose one player’s live broadcast to watch. They could not switch to other players’ live broadcast rooms until the end of the world, and their communication with each other would be blocked.
But this time there is no such restriction.
This also created a crowd-watching atmosphere on the street. No matter who you supported, you could come and watch it together, without having to choose a specific player's broadcast venue to sit in. Because there were a hundred screens.
Large crowds of people gathered in teahouses, restaurants, chess and card rooms, parks, and even cinemas to watch the live broadcast.
Su Mingan stood quietly for a while beside a teahouse.
