C1466 Preliminary selection
No matter what, when the first day of preliminaries began, Zhou Hao was still going to bring Wang Xiaohu and to participate in it. This time, the preliminaries were a little far from them, and they had to leave a bit earlier than them, but Zhou Hao and the two of them had already agreed that he wasn't interested in the opening ceremony, and they didn't want He Hongsen to discover it either.
At first, Wang Xiaohu and Xiao Liu did not understand why Zhou Hao was being so careful. After Zhou Hao explained to them, they finally understood that the Casino Rankers were just like the Martial Arts Master, they all had a pair of unusual eyes, maybe the spectators below the stage were all too many, ordinary people only felt that everyone was the same, but if the Casino Rankers or the Martial Arts Master s were to look, they could tell that they were different.
In terms of gambling, Zhou Hao was very sure of his strength. It was too easy for him to get a few 'A' out of dozens of cards, and he wanted to recognize him in the crowd. He had made He Hongsen his opponent, and in the early years, He Hongsen had also targeted him.
However, after Zhou Hao told them about it, they also felt that it was reasonable. By the time they arrived at the competition arena, it was already 12: 50 PM. In ten minutes, the competition would begin.
This was a large indoor stadium, and the stadium was obvious to everyone that He Hongsen had rented it. Right now, the entire stadium was filled with contestants, and other than contestants, everyone else had to bring their friends and family, but in the end, the stadium was already filled with people.
When Zhou Hao came, the people here had already started to announce the contestants' entrance. The three of them did not hesitate and quickly squeezed in, just in time for the host to mutter as well, "Two hundred and thirty-eighth place contestant, Wang Xiaohu enters the arena." As he spoke, he looked around, obviously not knowing what Wang Xiaohu looked like.
When Wang Xiaohu heard someone call out his name, he reflexively wanted to go up, but was stopped by Zhou Hao as he said with a smile: "Little Tiger, how did you forget? From the moment you entered this arena, I was Wang Xiaohu. Then, he turned to Xiao Liu and said, "All of you stay here and watch. If you have any experts, remember to tell me. With so many people participating, I wonder how the organizers are going to select them."
Wang Xiaohu and Xiao Liu stopped and watched Zhou Hao walk into the participant stand. They also agreed with Zhou Hao that there were hundreds of people participating this time around who were just not recommended in the competition, and they really didn't know how to bet. However, these were not things they were worried about, they just needed to watch.
Zhou Hao's ranking was already very low, and from this, it could be seen that by the time he had registered, it was already not far from the deadline. After the host had finished talking about the three hundred and seventy-three people, no one else came in.
Over three hundred participants participating in the competition, Zhou Hao took a rough look at the people present, there were truly more than three hundred, but he guessed that not all of them would be participating, although the deposit was not small, the registration fee was not high, if there was anything wrong with someone else, or if they were not able to participate, there would be no problem, because at that time, the deposit would be returned.
"Welcome, lover, from all over the world. Macao is one of the four great cities of the world, and the annual Gambling King Tournament led by Mr. He Hongsen has officially begun." The host waited for all the contestants to enter the contestants' seats and immediately said: "We are in the provincial capital where no contestants are recommended to be assigned. Everyone will be fighting here and the final four will enter the next round."
Zhou Hao listened to his explanation of the competition rules and admission tickets, but he knew that there were a lot of people participating in the competition, and this competition would be held for a whole week. The first three days of the competition were here, and every day, there would be an elimination round.
"Because this competition spans more than a century, next year will be the year 2000, so we have a lot of competitors. In order to quickly determine the victor, our first match will be conducted by choosing one of the four mahjong contestants." The host probably knew that the audience was getting anxious, so he very easily reported the competition details.
In fact, if any other form of competition was used, the result would be decided very quickly, but since it was a gamble, then it had to be a test of the gambler's qualities. The mahjong was the most popular event in all of the competitions, and everyone in the world would play it.
Zhou Hao did not have any objections to this, at least he knew that this competition would be beneficial to him, at least after he focused his mind, he would not casually light up the cannons, and if everyone else were to level up by themselves, by the time the round ended, they would only have a quarter of their points left, which could be considered as fast.
"Since none of the contestants have any objections, we will start drawing the lots right now. Your gambling capital will be your own bet, and the winners and losers will all be your bet." Seeing that no one had any objections, the host announced the start of the drawing of lots.
There were one hundred mahjong tables inside the stadium with the numbers of East, South, West and Table written on them. After the participants drew their lots, they would automatically find a spot to do it, and everything here was controlled electronically. Furthermore, there were electronic eyes everywhere, so even the average Casino expert would not dare to cheat easily.
If there really was someone with a certain level of strength who wanted to cheat, they wouldn't be discovered. Usually, experts who played mahjong would write down their cards when the time came, and it would be easy for him to change the cards when the time came. After all, mahjong was different from cards, it wasn't easy to change them.
Zhou Hao had drawn a thousand words, neither good nor bad, and was placed at the thirty-seventh table. At the same table were two men and a woman, both in their thirties, all expressionless. Zhou Hao felt that he wasn't facing a player, but rather an opponent designed by a computer, so even if it was a gamble, there was no need for him to be so serious.
He did not recognize these three people, and of course these three people did not know Zhou Hao either. Furthermore, all of this was randomly chosen, so Zhou Hao did not think that they would get to know each other, and the competition quickly began.
The first few rounds, most of the people would try their luck. Being the first, it was not necessarily a good thing to be the leader of the village, it was very easy to lose big time. If they lost all their seats, they would be eliminated and replaced by the staff members, and only until the people at the other tables were at the same table as them, would the competition continue.
Zhou Hao had not seen this rule before, but after thinking about it for a while, he realized that if it was someone who was unlucky and eliminated their own table mate the first time, there was a possibility that they would be eliminated by another table. If this round came to an end, there would not be more than a quarter of them, or a fifth, or even one sixth.
As Zhou Hao was thinking, the dealer had already started to play dice. All the participants here, other than those who came in to try their luck, were mostly confident in their gambling skills. No matter what aspect they were good at, they would probably be able to study a bit about mahjong.
At another table, whoever took the position of the Zhuang Family, could release the points they wanted. At Zhou Hao's place, they would have to listen to Zhou Hao and he would be playing mahjong in Guangdong province. Everyone understood the method very well and there was no need for others to explain it.
Just like that, it was enough for the dices to be positioned, but how could Zhou Hao let them get their wish? Just as the dices were about to come to a stop, Zhou Hao flicked his finger, causing a gust of wind to brush against the dices.
The dice touched by Zhou Hao's finger turned from looking for the owner of the house to looking for the owner of the house to changing from one point to two points, then to looking for the owner of the house. That would mean looking for Zhou Hao, where Zhou Hao did not mess up, and he himself would not have any special gambling techniques.
Actually, on most mahjong tables, the machines that reshuffled were all machines, but because the gambling competition was all about gambling, they purposely changed it into an artificial code plate. The dealer really couldn't understand why the dice he threw out would be looking for Zhou Hao, the other two people were also weird, this dealer's skills shouldn't be so bad right?
Even though they had been soaking in Casino for a long time, they had no way of knowing what Zhou Hao had done. It was just that they felt that this might have something to do with Zhou Hao.
"Everyone, don't look at me like that. I'm only here to try my luck. I'm about to start." Seeing that they were about to face a strong enemy, Zhou Hao couldn't help but laugh. He reached out to grab the dice and hit it at any time, then started to cut it for the dealer to grab.
From the way he threw the dice, they could tell that he was not unlucky. Half believing and half doubting, all three of them started to pick up the cards, and then the three of them frowned together. The cards in their hands were all those kind of cards that could not be considered good or bad, and even if they wanted to win more, it was impossible for them to lose as much as they wanted.
