Chapter 105 - On the Day of the Non

The participants, teachers, and school directors weren’t the only ones busy dealing with the upcoming competitions. The media and netizens also made a fuss on the internet.

Various analyses and predictions about the annual school professional competition firmly occupied the search results on all major platforms.

“Why did the knight win every battle?”

“What is a knight’s secret to turning defeat into victory?”

“Can a knight win seven matches and continue to shine in a team competition?”

“Will the Super Whirlwinds dominate the team Player Kill competition?”

“What is the most authoritative list of the top four?”

The media coverage given to this year’s school professional competition was exceptionally attentive. The various media outlets sent reporters to the front lines to gather first-hand information. They came up with all kinds of creative judging activities, like “my favorite contestant,” “my favorite class,” and “my favorite team.”

Moreover, the prizes were also highly sought after. If the first choice got three votes, the winners would receive five million yuan, while one lucky audience member would receive a famous class change scroll.

Five million yuan was great, but everyone wanted the famous class change scroll more. Money could not change a person’s fate, but a class change scroll could.

The audience’s enthusiasm for participating in these judging activities was unprecedentedly high, which sparked heated discussions among the netizens.

“Moss, knight, and Team Moss are my choices. What about you?”

“Mine are Miller, imperial sword master, and the Super Whirlwinds. Don’t worry. Just close your eyes and choose with me.”

“You’re supposed to choose the ones you like the most, not the strongest ones. I guess it depends on your preference.”

“Right, I chose Moss because I like him as a knight. The knight class has finally achieved excellent results after so many decades. Moreover, there are more people in the knight class compared to others. However, the Super Whirlwinds are my favorite team since they received the most attention and love from the audience.”

Other than discussing who their favorites were, the audience also had heated discussions about the upcoming team Player Kill competition.

“Even though I feel there are limitations to Moss’s strength, I still hope he can continue to surprise us!”

“I also like supporting the underdog!”

“The team Player Kill competition is all about teamwork, not individual heroism. One person can’t win against an entire team.”

“We must consider several factors in the team Player Kill competition. Such as the team’s coordination proficiency, complementary advantages, and tactical arrangements.”

“That’s too much analysis. Just reveal which team you favor already.”

“Hahaha! The answer is already there. I will announce it at the start of the top thirty-two tomorrow, so please stay tuned.”

“So, what do you think is the key to winning the team Player Kill competition?”

“The most crucial aspect of winning is one’s conviction. One needs courage and determination to face any difficulties to overcome them!”

“Wow, this discussion has risen to a psychological level, huh?”

“As expected of a God-tier reviewer.”

…

A bustling crowd made up of fans and gamblers gathered before the start of the competition. The gambling rings gave the fans new ways to gamble. The audience could guess the top sixteen, top eight, or top four.

The audience could bet on who would win or lose, which was a more exciting way of gambling. There was also a segment where the audience could guess the match time.

…

The biggest prize was the Future Star award. Considering the odds given by the gambling rings, the one with the highest odds of winning was still Miller.

However, Moss’s odds fell. The gambling ring did not believe that Team Moss would do well in the team Player Kill competition, judging from their strength.

People crowded the 008 gambling ring in Area X of White Deer City. It was even busier outside the gambling ring. Wright supported Moss again and made a considerable profit, so he spent half his winnings to bet on Moss again.

Wright exited the gambling ring happily and saw several people surrounding someone. The person at the center of the crowd analyzed various betting methods for the team Player Kill competition. It was none other than Mobley.

Mobley had become the most famous among the gamblers in the 008 gambling ring. Wright recognized Mobley, so he moved closer.

Someone in the crowd asked, “Who do you think will dominate Zone A1, Mobley?”

“That’s the most challenging zone to guess,” Mobley paused, his eyes darting around.

“What’s so tricky about it? Isn’t the other team the best? Hurry up and analyze the situation for everyone!”

“That guy is right. The organizing committee ranked the other team from Number Six High the strongest. However, there are too many variables because of Team Moss and Team Mill.”

“Whether or not Moss can defeat Number Ten High’s Ice Team in the first round of the top thirty-two to sixteen is still unknown. However, it will be a tough battle no matter who meets the other team in the top sixteen and eight.”

“It would be a shot in the dark of it were the Ice Team against the other. I heard that Number Two and Three High’s alliances have already moved. There will be a battle for the ages when these two alliances meet.”

“If Team Moss beats the other team, it would shift the tides drastically. The primary variable is still Moss since he has yet to lose in the individual Player Kill competition. He even defeated participants who were experts in their class.”

Everyone present listened with great interest. Mobley’s spittle flew everywhere as he analyzed the situation animatedly, yet no one cared.

“For the top sixteen and eight, Team Mill will go up against Number Seven High’s team tomorrow. Even though Team Mill has the strength advantage, the two alliances are behind Number Seven High’s team. Whichever team performs better or has better luck would win. That is why Zone A1 is the hardest to predict.”

More people gathered following Mobley’s in-depth analysis.

“Tell us who you bet on, Mobley!” Someone tried tricking Mobley.

“Hahaha! There’s no harm in telling you. I bet on the top sixteen in Zone A2. However, the odds are the highest there, which means it’s the safest bet.”

“There’s no doubt that the Crimson Fires from Number Five High and the Style Team from Number Eight High will advance. The other two teams are also an easy guess since it only requires some thought.”

“The top sixteen in Zone B’s upper and lower half are also elementary guesses, while it’s difficult to guess the top eight. There might be an unexpected winner there. Since I prefer to be safe, I will bet on Zone A2.”

“If anyone wants to bet on the top four, I suggest you focus on the variables in Zones A1 and B1. It shouldn’t be a problem for the Crimson Fires and Super Whirlwinds to enter the top four.”

“That’s it for today since I must go home and cook. How about you guys cook for me next time so I can speak more on this?!”

“Then what about your beautiful daughter-in-law?” Everyone burst into laughter.

Mobley had just exited the crowd when he saw Wright. He asked curiously, “You made a fortune last time, didn’t you, Wright? Are you going to bet on Moss again?!”

Wright smiled and nodded.

Mobley took Wright’s receipt and saw that he was betting on 50-50 odds. However, Moss had won all of his matches.

‘The odds are two hundred and fifty-six?!’
