Li Beifei and the others successfully advanced, not caring about Shen Huan, who lost five million high-grade source crystals to Li Beifei. Each of them had billions of high-grade source crystals. Five million, although a lot, wasn't particularly exciting. They didn't even pay attention to Shen Huan's resentful gaze before leaving. Each of them had an extraordinary background, so why would they care about a playboy?
Little did they know that this playboy they looked down upon was now plotting against them.
"First of all, congratulations to everyone for entering the semi-finals!" Venerable Zishan said, looking at the fifty participants who had entered the semi-finals, "I just received a notice from the Holy Land that the rules of the semi-finals have been slightly adjusted!"
"What?"
Some contestants looked surprised.
"Why didn't you tell us in advance?" someone said dissatisfiedly. With the competition rules changing, who knew if it would have a negative impact on them?
Only Li Beifei and the others remained calm and composed, looking unconcerned. The audience secretly laughed when they saw this. These guys advanced by luck and would soon be eliminated. It's normal not to care; they have a good sense of their own limitations.
"Boss, look at the way those people are looking at us. They clearly think we got here by luck. I really want to see their expressions when all five of us enter the finals."
Xuan Mingzi said with a chuckle. Bai Yifei and the others also smiled slightly. After the "coincidental" advancement just now, they all believed in Li Beifei.
"Brother Li, you're really cunning. I didn't expect you to know anything about gambling stones. You're really good at hiding your abilities," Xia Wuji said. He didn't know that there was an Old Six inside Li Beifei, so he regarded Li Beifei as the real Old Six.
"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile. Follow me, and I guarantee you'll have a good time!" Li Beifei said with a bandit-like air. He actually took the credit of Old Six for granted, which Old Six despised.
"I wonder how the rules will be adjusted!" Li Ruoyu, who had a stable personality, was more concerned about the adjustment of the semi-final rules.
"Anyway, no matter how it's adjusted, with the boss around, our advancement to the finals is a certainty," Xuan Mingzi said very arrogantly. Li Beifei also smiled without saying a word. Indeed, with him and his Old Six, gambling stones was very simple!
Just as Li Beifei was thinking triumphantly, Bai Yifei said, "Why do I have another ominous premonition?"
"Huh?"
Before they could ask Bai Yifei the reason, Venerable Zishan announced the new rules.
"The new rules for the semi-finals are very simple. They are also divided into ten groups, but this time, instead of random allocation, the groups will be allocated according to the ranking intervals!"
"What does that mean?" someone asked with a puzzled look, obviously not understanding the rules of interval allocation.
But Li Beifei and the others felt a sudden jump in their hearts and had a similar ominous premonition.
The five of them looked at each other and cursed in unison in a low voice, "Damn it!" Even with the soundproof formation, millions of spectators were discussing the new rules, so no one else heard Li Beifei and the others' secret curses.
Venerable Zishan explained, "Interval allocation means that the groups will be formed based on everyone's ranking. For example, the first to fifth place participants will be assigned to one group, and so on. Each group will still only have one spot to enter the finals."
"What?"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise. They never expected the group allocation to be adjusted.
Some people exclaimed, while others showed joy. They were all people who had advanced by accumulating experience in gambling stones. Their strength was naturally inferior to those source masters who cultivated source techniques. If they were randomly assigned, it would be fine if they encountered lucky guys like the bottom dwellers, but if they were unlucky enough to encounter a source master, they would definitely be eliminated.
But now, the change in the grouping rules gave them hope of advancing to the finals. As long as they entered the finals, their goal would be achieved. The reason they participated in this Stone Gambling Convention was to be able to cut a Stone King with their own hands.
For those who are addicted to gambling stones, cutting a Stone King is their lifelong dream!
Of the top five, four were source masters, and one squeezed into fifth place with rich stone gambling experience and luck.
There were a total of six source masters in this Stone Gambling Convention. One cut out a semi-holy medicine but could only rank fifteenth, and the remaining one was exactly sixth.
At this time, the expressions on the faces of these two source master cultivators were extremely wonderful. Their rankings gave them an absolute advantage in their groups, while the remaining four source masters were clustered in one group. The adjustment of the rules allowed them to eliminate three of their peers without any effort. They were naturally very happy.
The several source masters clustered in the same group were naturally very depressed, but they had no right to interfere with the rule adjustments made by the organizers. Moreover, this adjustment did not seem unreasonable. Could it be that because we are all source masters, we cannot compete in the same group? If they said this, they would definitely be considered to only dare to bully those who don't know how to gamble stones. How is this different from bullying the weak?
Not only were they depressed, but Li Beifei and the others were also depressed.
"Damn it, this Ziwei Holy Land is naturally against me, right?" Xia Wuji cursed through voice transmission. He was the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, the future emperor of Great Xia. The grievances between the Divine Dynasty and the Ziwei Holy Land had been mentioned before, so I won’t repeat them here.
Anyway, Xia Wuji felt that he was being targeted at this time.
The others were also helpless. Li Beifei touched his nose and said, "This is my fault. I originally wanted to play the pig to eat the tiger, but I didn't expect to be backstabbed!"
"Rule Assassin!" Xuan Mingzi muttered, obviously dissatisfied with the adjustment of the rules. The five of them happened to be ranked at the very end, so only one of them could advance to the finals. He had just said that he would slap the audience in the face by having all of them advance, but he didn't expect to be backstabbed.
"It's hard!"
Even Li Ruoyu was worried. This feeling of being backstabbed was extremely unpleasant.
Bai Yifei said, "Since the Ziwei Holy Land is doing so ruthlessly, Brother Li, the finals are up to you. You must pick the most awesome Stone King, take the first place, and then gamble against the Ziwei Holy Land to make them die of wealth!"
The others nodded, obviously entrusting the spot to advance to Li Beifei. This was also normal, because none of them knew how to gamble stones, and Li Beifei obviously had mysterious means. They had high hopes for Li Beifei.
"Leave it to me!" Li Beifei said confidently.
Soon, the ten groups entered the source mine area for the semi-finals in turn to select ore, and the selection time was also one hour.
After entering the source mine area, Li Beifei, under the guidance of Old Six, went straight to a stone and marked it with a swipe of his hand without any hesitation. This scene naturally attracted a lot of attention.
"It seems he is going to give up. He is picking stones without even looking at them!"
"Hahaha, he doesn't think he can get into the finals by guessing like this, right? Too naive!"
