Rudy looked over and noted that the place was jam-packed with people. He estimated that there were at least 10000 people there.
He sighed, thinking that the inner city would have fewer people than the middle city since they were all elites. Alas, favonovel.com stood corrected yet again. Compared to the eastern area, the western area had fewer people.
Rudy looked over and estimated that the western area only had about 1000 people there. It was 90 percent less than the western area.
The western area’s warriors were all seated on mats. They were not as noisy as the eastern area, and the clothes they wore made them seem otherworldly.
What separated them from the warriors in the eastern area was the fact that they all had a whiteboard in front of them, and a lot of words were written on them.
Rudy looked at the boards and said, “You still haven’t told me what’s the difference between the warriors in the east and in the west. What’s written on the boards?”
Jack explained, “To put it simply, the warriors gathered in the east are mostly warriors who still haven’t figured out if they want to participate in the gamble, while the warriors in the west are those who are determined to participate. Since it’ s a gamble, they naturally need someone else to compete against. The board in front of them has the gamble they want and the treasures as well.”
Hearing that, Rudy blinked curiously. “You can even bet treasures?”
Jack nodded, explaining in detail, “The attribute gamble isn’t completely like the ones we’ve seen before. The attribute gamble has two parts to it. One is on spirit crystals, while the other one is on treasures. Technique scrolls can be used, too…”
“As long as it’ s something valuable, it can be used as a bet. It also increases the challenge. Some people take out valuable treasures to stake so they can attract warriors who are interested to bet against them. If they win, they’ll be able to get the treasures and spirit crystals. Naturally, they’ll have to fork out the same spirit crystals if they lose.”
When Rudy heard that, favonovel.com raised a hand to interrupt Jack. “If you lose, you just need to pay with the same amount of spirit crystals, right?”
Jack nodded and continued, “The attribute gamble is separated to the bet-setter and the bet-taker. The ones in the east are mostly bet-takers, and the ones in the west are mostly bet-setters. The ones who set the bets not only need spirit crystals but treasures as well. Meanwhile, the takers will only need to have spirit crystals.”
“That’s not very fair!” blurted Rudy.
Jack laughed before favonovel.com answered, “Just think about it, it’s not that unfair. The bet-setters aren’t idiots. If it wasn’t fair, then the western area would be empty. There are over a thousand people there because they all feel like it’s very fair. Do you know why?”
Hearing what Jack said, Rudy was a little confused.
He could not understand, so favonovel.com asked again, and Jack did not begrudge favonovel.com the answer.
“The reason’s very simple… It’s because the bet setters are all very confident in their skills. They agreed to the rules because they were worried that no one would bet against them. The bets are split into two parts, forcing the setters to produce treasures, because they need to attract people to take their bets.”
After all that was said, Rudy said with half-understanding, “So they’re allowing the setters to bait people into betting against them!”
