"Do you want to become a millionaire overnight? Please come to the Insect Fighting Hall."

"New ways to play, new enjoyment, the Insect Fighting Hall provides everything for you."

"Do you know that there is another kind of insect in the world that fights for glory? Do you know what it is? Please come to the Insect Fighting Hall to see the whole picture."

"Have you ever seen a bloody fight, a fight to the death? Please come to the Insect Fighting Hall."

"Test your eyesight, test your experience, it's so easy to get rich, please come to the Insect Fighting Hall."

The entire imperial capital is full of various flyers like this. Cage paid some homeless children and professional entertainers he trained to advertise everywhere, especially in entertainment venues, restaurants, hotels and other places. There was even a team of beautiful girls from the entertainment venues wearing uniform clothes and carrying various slogans walking around the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, making more people curious about this insect fighting hall. Many people didn't know what this place was and what was there. Curiosity inevitably led to interest. Many people who had a lot of free time and a lot of spare money chose to come to the insect fighting hall next to the Bauhinia Manor.

The magnificent five-story building made everyone's eyes light up. There were two neat teams of guests standing at the door, wearing the same clothes, a strange dress they had never seen before, but it was pleasing to the eye. Maybe they didn't think that the word was "professional". In front of the small building, there was a plaque with the three words "Insect Fighting Hall" written in three languages ​​commonly used on the mainland. It didn't cost much, but the language skills alone were not something that ordinary people could do. A little noble who had just walked to the door saw two teams of guests, leaning forward and bending 90 degrees.

"Welcome!"

It made people feel at home. The waiter standing in the front took out a small book and handed it to him.

"Hello! This is an introduction to our services. Since you are the first 100 customers to enter our insect fighting hall, we will give it to you for free."

The noble took the booklet, which read "Insect Fighting Guide". The content was very simple. "Kex is an ancient insect with a history of at least 100 million years. Every quiet summer night, there will be bursts of crisp and pleasant chirping in the grass, which is the song of Kex. On the right wing of Kex, there is a short thorn like a file, and on the left wing, there are hard thorns like knives. The left and right wings open and close, and they are very aggressive. Fighting is a contest between males. When two males meet, they must show their two big teeth to compete with each other, headbutting, kicking, and fighting to the death. Kex requires no "four diseases" (head tilting, tendrils, teeth training, kicking legs). The appearance color also has a distinction between high and low, 'white is not as good as black, black is not as good as red, and red is not as good as yellow'."

There is a very detailed introduction to insect fighting, many sayings about the gameplay, levels, etc., and more detailed introductions to the identification of insects. With the arrival of the minor nobles and some people with spare money, a professional host came on stage.

"Gentlemen, welcome everyone. I believe you have seen the introduction of insect fighting. In order to let everyone understand the details more intuitively, we will first give you a free demonstration."

Two insect fighters, holding two cages of insects, came to the middle of the entire small building.

"Everyone, these are two level 3 bugs. The minimum bet is 10 silver coins. The odds will be adjusted on our board according to the amount of your bet. The one on the left is called White-headed Knight, and the odds are 1:0.8, which means that if you bet 10 silver coins on White-headed Knight, you will get a profit of 8 silver coins after winning, and if you lose, you will lose the money you bet. The one on the right is called White-headed Chamber Chief, and the odds are 1:1.1, which means that if you bet 10 silver coins, you will get a profit of 11 silver coins after winning. Now I will demonstrate how to fight bugs for you."

The two bug fighters put the two bugs in a small ceramic jar and divided them into two sides with a small wooden board. As soon as they were put in, the two bugs kept calling and rubbing their wings. They seemed to have sensed each other's presence and refused to give in. The two bug fighters used the grass to tease the tail of Kes, and the two bugs called more fiercely and became restless.

At the moment of opening the gate, the white-headed cavalry leader rushed towards the white-headed room leader, with his big teeth bared, and he pounced on his opponent's neck. The room leader also dodged the attack very well, but bit the opponent's leg and refused to let go of the white-headed cavalry leader. No matter how he jumped, the room leader just refused to let go. Although the room leader was a little smaller in size, he was not less fierce than the cavalry leader, and even more fierce in momentum. The room leader exerted force and threw the cavalry leader aside. The cavalry leader was already trembling and could not stand steadily. Just when everyone thought that the cavalry leader had failed, the insect fighter teased again with the insect tail, and the two insects cried again. The cavalry leader became aggressive again, but this time he became cautious and stopped attacking. Instead, he stared at the room leader with a covetous look, constantly flapping his wings, agitating his momentum, and chirping loudly, as if the injury just now had no effect.

The whole scene became very quiet, and everyone did not expect that a small insect fighter could have such fun. At the moment when the tentacles of the two insects touched, the room chief and the cavalry chief launched an attack at the same time. The cavalry chief relied on his huge body and sufficient strength to hang on the room chief's fangs. However, the injury just now had an impact. The two insects wrestled with their four fangs and bit each other fiercely, neither of them letting go. The cavalry chief was injured and could not resist the opponent's impact. He lost the strength of one leg. Even though he had a certain advantage in his body, he was quickly turned around and gradually could not resist the opponent's strength.

However, just when everyone thought he could not resist, the cavalry chief used his strength to shake his head violently and threw the room chief out fiercely. The room chief did not stop when he landed on the ground and rushed towards the cavalry chief again. The spectators around even saw the cold light flashing on the room chief's fangs. The cavalry chief did not bite the opponent's fangs again, but inserted his two teeth into the room chief's eyes. However, the room chief bit the opponent's neck fiercely and pushed the cavalry chief up. The cavalry chief struggled for a while, kicked his legs, and died. The room chief bit off the opponent's head and screamed loudly. Although he paid a great price, he still showed off his victory to the people around him.

Just as described in the flyer, it was exciting. The whole process was thrilling. It was not that weakness would lead to failure. Strategy and skills were equally important. It was a battle process that made people indulge in it, just like participating in a battle in person. Only those who survived to the end could win. It was more bloody and fun than the previous games. The blood in my body was boiling.

"Next, there are two level 3 Ks fighting, the sand spot on the left and the white head on the right. The minimum bet is 10 silver coins. When the hourglass stops, the sale will be stopped. The basic odds are 1:1 now. Everyone hurry up and buy."

"I want to buy a gold coin Ks worm sand spot." Before the host finished speaking, someone shouted, "Buy it there."

"Buy me 10 gold coins white head, d*mn it."

"Buy it for me"

The whole audience was boiling. Everyone looked at the odds on the sign and kept changing. The side that chose to buy more bets had a clear decrease in odds, and the side with fewer bets was of course the side with higher odds, but the benefits generated were very high. The first few buyers were all hired by Cage. Without these people, how could the scene be lively? Not enough people came today, but fortunately the scene was exciting enough. Cage, standing on the top floor, looked at everything below and was very satisfied. Only in this way can he make money! Just like all those who open casinos and open handicaps, no matter how the exchange rate changes, he will not lose money. What he earns is the handling fee in the middle. The current capital flow is still small. When the exchange rate increases, its profit will increase significantly. This is called cash flow.

Soon the bets reached 500 gold coins, which means that no matter what the result is today, Cage will make a profit of 50 gold coins. This is still the first round. The betting time has a magic hour, which is basically the same as the earth. A magic hour is about one and a half to two hours. Cage uses a funnel to ultimately control the flow of time and money and prevent cheating. In the future, the insects will be randomly drawn on the spot, which can better show fairness.

A new battle began, and the atmosphere in the whole venue became more heated. Everyone was shouting and constantly cheering for their insects, and the enthusiasm was ignited at once. Cage looked at the people who were fighting for money happily below, and his heart was even more happy. It was still the ancients who said well, "The world is bustling, and it is driven by profit." As long as the desire in their hearts can be ignited, money will flow into his pocket continuously.

Cage doesn't care if others follow suit, because as the first to do so, he will have more advantages. If no one follows suit, in addition to being strong enough, he will go bankrupt due to poor management. Cage believes in his ability.

This round of competition ended quickly, and the large volume finally won, but the odds were small, and everyone did not make much profit. After completely returning the chips and the recorded wooden board (to prevent others from using the chips from the last time to get the profit of the second bet, both must be paid at the same time to exchange money. The wooden board is engraved with the timetable and the match situation, and it will be written with special potions to ensure safety, and of course there are seals), the second round of the second-level worm competition will be held. After understanding the situation, everyone roughly knows how to play, and the betting becomes more rational and more crazy.
