Chapter 160: Team Race Trap
"The first team match takes place two days later, so you can use this time to recuperate. Here's a list of the survivors of the various families, check it out. Niya handed a detailed list of information to Tang Yan and smiled: "Do you still need a massage?"
"You're welcome!" Tang Yan smiled, but retorted in a blink of an eye: "Men and women don't kiss, we haven't had sex yet, people are terrible, you bear with it first." β
Odin and the others couldn't help but smile, there was really nothing they could do about this little guy.
Niya was speechless, and hated to scratch him, but compared to the previous indifference, there was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth that she didn't even notice.
In a word...... Although this kid is not beaten, it is quite interesting to get along with.
Odin coughed a few times and looked at Tang Yan with a smile: "There are no outsiders now, do you have anything to tell us?"
Tang Yan was looking at the detailed list of information, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "What's the matter?" Oh, are you suggesting that I'm going to have a dowry? Aren't you in too much of a hurry? I'm still young, and I'm not fully developed. β
"You're going to die!!" Nya almost squirted out a mouthful of red wine.
The elders of the clan raised their hands to support their foreheads, crying and laughing, this girl is really the best!
Odin was also scorched by this sentence, coughed heavily, and said: "It's all a family soon, there is no need to keep it a secret." I'll just tell you what's going on in the woods, and how did you help Angela break through?"
On the way back, they took turns to interrogate Angela, but a few girls were quite 'righteous', and they refused to divulge anything, saying that they promised Tang Yan that they would keep it a secret for the rest of their lives.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, the black girl has become friends with the demon king of the barren forest, the berserk demon dog king, and they have volunteered to protect us for more than twenty days. Angela and the others are already on the verge of a breakthrough, and with a little experience, the breakthrough is reasonable. You must not think that I am so complicated, it is simple, a mortal, a brave pervert, occasionally there is a special expression, it is also luck. Tang Yan grinned and continued to look at the detailed list of information.
Odin and the others looked at each other, 100% sure that these words were not credible, but they couldn't force him, right?
They looked at each other and didn't ask any more questions.
Maybe when he really becomes the son-in-law of the Rao family in the future, Tang Yan will tell him frankly.
Odin said: "All in all, thank you very much. β
"You're welcome, they call me uncle, and I have to do my uncle's duty. Tang Yan said solemnly, but before everyone showed a relieved expression, the kid said in a blink of an eye: "Hey, I said this, are you particularly moved......? Isn't it okay for me?"
"When you get home, you go to the account office and pick it up. Everyone smiled and shook their heads, there was nothing they could do about him, but Tang Yan's cheerfulness always kept a sense of intimacy between them, and they did not become angry because of excessive politeness.
Odin said: "Let's get down to business, the rules of the second stage of the team battle have changed a bit. First of all, the families that were wiped out in the first stage and the families with only two or fewer survivors, a total of seven, will not participate in the team battle or the final ranking.
In other words, including the royal family, there are a total of 24 teams participating in the team competition.
In the first round, the 12 losing teams will fight again in turn, and the last three will be selected as the bottom three of the final overall ranking.
In the second round, the twelve victorious teams draw lots to determine their opponents and compete in a life-and-death duel in turn. The six losing teams will no longer compete, but will need to choose the worst team according to the votes of all the families to become the fourth from the bottom of the overall ranking.
In the third round, the six teams that have insisted on two rounds draw lots to determine their opponents, and the three victorious parties compete in a melee match, that is, the three parties compete on the same stage, and the top three are determined according to the order in which they fall. The three eliminated parties will compete in a melee match, which is also on the same stage, and the first team to fall is regarded as the loser, becoming the fifth from the bottom of the overall ranking, and the other two teams are fourth and fifth respectively. β
"Wait! Why don't the seven families participate in the overall ranking......? Isn't it unfair to determine the fourth and fifth places from the bottom?"
This rule is obviously unfair, but it makes sense. This ranking method can make the participating teams always vigilant and high-spirited, so that they understand that it is not possible to win all the way forward, maybe stick to the last round, and become one of the bottom five; the second point is to stimulate the enthusiasm of the audience, increase the excitement and uncertainty of the major casinos, and attract more people to bet; the third point, the rules are for the service of the game, if the ranking is determined step by step according to the ordinary rules, the last five must be the relatively weak five of the thirty families, and the prizes they can come up with are difficult to arouse the interest of families such as Rubin Kimi, and a certain kind of Cheng dΓΉ will reduce the enthusiasm of the participating teamsγ However, if there are one or two of the bottom five like our family, the participating teams will definitely do their best. β
Odin said very calmly, as if he was interpreting the meaning of this rule, but the more Tang Yan listened, the more wrong he became.
"What else?"
"And the fourth point, can you tell me?" Odin looked at Tang Yan with a smile.
"You want to test me?"
Odin smiled but didn't say a word.
Tang Yan leaned back in his seat and said, "What you said makes sense, but from our point of view, the royal family is setting a trap! Whether it is the first, second, or third round, we are all in danger of being put into the countdown. Even if we persist until the top six compete and the royal family cheats a little, we will also lose badly.
I said that the royal family of your Delos Empire is also shameless, just frame it, and find so many high-sounding reasons, and try your best to manipulate the rules. β
Odin nodded with a smile and said, "Your analysis is correct, not only us, but all major families are in the ranks of being calculated. Having said all that, do you have a good way to crack it?"
"No, the three rounds are interlocked. Even if I can make it to the final round, the royal family will definitely give me a strong opponent, an opponent who is capable of killing us. Unless I can turn things around, I won't be able to break this game. Huh, you don't seem to be worried?" Tang Yan looked at Odin and the others strangely.
Odin smiled and said, "We've figured it out, as long as you don't have an accident, it's okay to lose this game, it's a big deal to lose something." β
"Huh?"
Niya said angrily, "Ah, aren't you very smart, don't you understand what my father means?"
"It's kind of ...... I don't understand ......."
"Father would rather pay any price, and I hope you will be well. β
Odin looked at Tang Yan with a little love in his eyes: "If you can really stick to the top six, it is enough to fight for me Odin, I am content!"
Tang Yan shook his head and smiled, and continued: "We have calculated that if the royal family makes a move in the last round, they will choose Matthews or Kane. β
"That's right, you're the most likely to play them in the third round, and if we do, we're almost a foregone conclusion. These two are very different from De Niro, Kane is a pure melee martial artist, the most suitable for ring fights, Matthews is known as the strongest genius of the new generation of the Empire, if it is not two years younger than the Nine Emperors, he can definitely dominate any young genius. β
Tang Yan rubbed his swollen forehead and fell into deep thought.
Odin said: "You don't have to be embarrassed, it's good to be in the last six, once you play Kane or Matthews, we will admit defeat immediately. β
"Admit defeat? β
Nia said angrily, "What can you do if you don't admit defeat?" I've already told you many times, Karn and Matthews are too strong to be the opponents you can challenge now. Even if they kill you on the field, it doesn't violate the rules of life and death, and we can't find an excuse to punish them. β
Tang Yan blinked and smiled: "Are you worried about me, or are you worried about being widowed?"
"Tang Yan, this is not a joke!"
Odin advised: "I did hope that you would get a good place, but now I just want you to be safe. On the way to martial arts in the future, we must also know how to retreat from difficulties, and we must not be too paranoid and cling to the impossible......"
"Don't worry, I know in my heart, I can lose, but I can't retreat without a fight. I really can't, I'll get on my knees and beg for mercy. The big husband can bend and stretch, and I won't stick to those small sections. β
Niya was a little worried: "Why are you so stubborn?"
"Just this time, it's not an example. Give me as much detail as you can about Matthews and Kane. I don't want another situation like De Niro that nearly killed me. β
