Zhou Hao looked at his opponent, it was a man in his thirties. He did not have the demeanor of an expert on him, if not for Bi Changsheng's introduction, he would not have believed that this was an expert that could even beat Bi Changsheng into submission. Of course, he knew that those who could make it to this round, other than himself, were probably all experts.
When he was observing his opponent, the other party was also looking at Zhou Hao. He was clearly measuring Zhou Hao's strength as well, as to what level of strength this fellow was at, and as his opponent was a novice, no matter which friend he was in, it was impossible to guess at Zhou Hao's methods.
Zhou Hao's situation was very special, and even when they met his opponent, they were actually very depressed. Without any information, even if they were concerned about him previously, it was because he had stood out during the robbery. As for his gambling skills, no one could be sure, he was also the biggest dark horse in the tournament.
The result between the Jingxi Mahjong Devil and Bi Changsheng was actually already predetermined. Other than the three of them, the other five people also knew that, according to their reputation, the Jingxi Mahjong Devil should be one of the eight people. Other than Zhou Hao, the ones with the least fame should also have the weakest strength.
The other five of them knew that as long as no accidents happened this time, Bi Changsheng would already be in the top four, and the Jingxi Mahjong Devil wouldn't be too disappointed. It didn't matter who he lost to, since at least Bi Changsheng could be considered his friend.
"Brother Changsheng, it's really good luck that you two were able to meet each other in this match. This way we can save a lot of trouble." Zhou Hao laughed, then suddenly said to Jingxi Mahjong Devil: "Brother, actually, the result of the match between you and Brother Changsheng is obvious. It's better if you listen to my advice, you give up."
They had always wanted to fight to the end, especially in this kind of competition. If they were asked to give up the competition, it would simply be equivalent to asking them to live. If the one who spoke was not Zhou Hao, they would have already fallen out.
My two brothers, don't look at me like that, I'm speaking the truth. Even if I don't say it, the two of you should also understand that the difference in strength is too great. In the end, Brother Changsheng will definitely win, so there's no need for this kind of competition.
Bi Changsheng and Jingxi Mahjong Devil understood what Zhou Hao meant. This brat clearly wanted Jingxi Mahjong Devil to give up the competition and keep his gambling capital.
Jingxi Mahjong Devil went silent. He was not an idiot and because of his shock, he did not think too much into it, thinking that it was Zhou Hao who wanted to help Bi Changsheng, but when he knew that had explained everything to him so clearly, he knew that it was all for his own good.
Both Bi Changsheng and Jingxi Mahjong Devil were no longer as incompatible as water and fire at the start. No one liked each other, so after hesitating for a while, he said with a tinge of emotion: "I feel that giving up a competition in this kind of formal competition is not good, and there are so many of us watching it."
Zhou Hao and Bi Changsheng rolled their eyes together, as Zhou Hao said helplessly: "Old brother, why are you thinking so much? You know you must lose, and yet you still go up there to work hard, this is truly the conduct of a fool. You and Big Brother Changsheng are ranked a lot lower in the Casino, even if you give up the competition, no one else has anything to say."
Although Bi Changsheng knew that he shouldn't speak at this time, after thinking for a moment, he still said: "I do not dare say that I will definitely win against you, it is just that the probability is 80% that I will win against you, and even if I were to take a step back, I will lose to you. In the next round, other than Brother Zhou Hao, do you have any chance of defeating the others?"
"Oh, that's not right. If Brother Zhou Hao can enter the next round and not just you, other than competing in mahjong, do you think you can win? In this regard, I think I have a better chance than you to enter the finals. " Bi Changsheng thought for a moment and corrected his previous words.
If the Jingxi Mahjong Devil still did not wake up, then all these years of being at the Casino was just like what Bi Changsheng had said, he would win in a match with Bi Changsheng, and if he met the next opponent, he might not win, so comparatively speaking, Bi Changsheng had a better chance of winning.
If it was any other participant, Jingxi Mahjong Devil would not lose in a fight, but if they forced it on their friends, it would make them feel that they were too stubborn. Jingxi Mahjong Devil was obviously not that kind of person.
"Brother, Brother Changsheng is right, look at the opponent I'm going to face. I might not be able to deal with that guy. Brother Changsheng is a little afraid, so come back later and cheer me up. I really need your encouragement." Zhou Hao felt Jingxi Mahjong Devil's heart moved, and said while smiling.
Jingxi Mahjong Devil looked at Zhou Hao, then looked at Bi Changsheng, and finally sighed: "Looks like I really haven't had the life to enter the finals in my entire life. I've gone through great difficulty to participate in this competition, and actually met Bi Changsheng.
As he said this, he had already made his intentions clear. In the competition with Bi Changsheng, he had already given up, and when the time came, Bi Changsheng could go up on stage by himself. He immediately chose to forfeit.
Zhou Hao looked at Jingxi Mahjong Devil and laughed: "Brother, don't be so emotional anymore, you have already revealed yourself at the start of the competition. We have already remembered all the friends in the audience, so you don't need to show yourself anymore, leave the rest to us."
Jingxi Mahjong Devil said with slight bitterness: "Who asked me to meet this guy by luck, I'll just treat it as bad luck. If he can't get back with the championship, then don't come to see us, otherwise my sacrifice wouldn't be worth it."
Bi Changsheng's expression made both Zhou Hao and Bi Changsheng laugh, and Bi Changsheng said: "Your sacrifice is worth it, I believe that the champion should be me, don't worry, of course, we will need Brother Zhou to kill that Wind God, otherwise my opponent will have one more."
"Alright, alright, let's not continue chatting here. The match is about to start and we only have ten minutes to prepare." Zhou Hao was truly speechless towards Bi Changsheng, he was so confident that he could defeat the Wind God and even send him to kill him.
Jingxi Mahjong Devil muttered to himself in dissatisfaction, "I was taken care of by you guys in just ten minutes, I should have been able to hold on for a little longer."
Zhou Hao and Bi Changsheng both ignored him, only to hear the host introducing from above: "The next stage will be the competition, we will be using the mode of four matches going on at the same time. Now, all participants, please come up on stage. When the host said that he had forgotten, the television station's camera turned towards the contestant seating area.
Right at this time, Jingxi Mahjong Devil suddenly raised his hand and said loudly: "Host, host, I have chosen to forfeit this competition, I plan to forfeit, I will not fight with Mr. Bi Changsheng anymore."
Even in the tournament, the contestants could give up, and even in the tournament, the contestants could also give up, but in so many competitions, there was not a single contestant that could reach the top eight. At this stage, all the contestants were experts, and there was not much difference in strength between the contestants, so who could give up so easily?
But in the competition this time, there were two dark horses. One of them was Zhou Hao while the other one was Jingxi Mahjong Devil. Although they had entered the finals for the eight people, they actually did not have much confidence.
"Host, you can announce the start of the other matches. I'll forget about this match. I'll give up on it this time. Sorry about that." Jingxi Mahjong Devil was not a quiet person. Although he had given up on the competition, he still showed off in front of the television.
The host had no other choice but to say: "Since you gave up the match, then Mr. Bi Changsheng will enter the top four, and will directly wait for the other three groups' victors, and then proceed with the drawing of lots."
Since the rules were set, he could not reject the Jingxi Mahjong Devil's request, and could only agree to give up the competition. Bi Changsheng directly advanced to the top 4, he did not care about the viewership ratings, whether the spectators were willing or not, after all, these participants were free, and could choose whether or not to compete.
Other than the Jingxi Mahjong Devil, the other contestants would have no problems with their matches. Among the three groups, one group was for the competition, and the other group was for the 21 points. Luckily, the Jingxi Mahjong Devil had given up on the competition, otherwise, he would not be able to compare to the other groups.
Without a doubt, Zhou Hao was sitting on the same gambling table as Qin Fantian, who was called Feng Shen, and beside the two of them stood a croupier, with a pair of dice and a dice clock in his hands. As long as the competition started, he would let the two of them check and then begin the dice competition.
The host saw that everyone was already seated on the gambling platform, and said to the cameras: "Hello everyone, the annual gambling competition is about to begin, but because one participant has given up, Mr. Bi Changsheng has already entered the other three groups, and entered the top four."
He didn't know if it was because Jingxi Mahjong Devil embarrassed him, or if it was because of the lines, but when he told the audience about the results of the competition, he didn't even mention Jingxi Mahjong Devil's name.
