Quanyi was a little sensitive to the word "gamble" in the game rules.
"Huh? Mother, isn't this just gambling?" Quanyi asked, puzzled.
"Hehe, that's right, it's essentially gambling. If it were any other kind of gambling, I definitely wouldn't let you touch it, but soul fights are different. For a Soul Master, it's actually a way to train their judgment.
If you want to earn Gold Soul Coins through gambling, you not only need to understand the Martial Souls, levels, and information of both sides, but also deduce the outcome of the Soul Fight based on this information.
Moreover, the Great Soul Arena rarely has instances of manipulating matches behind the scenes, which ensures basic fairness and impartiality. So you can participate in gambling here with peace of mind," Su Ling'er explained earnestly.
After thinking about it, Quanyi felt that his mother made a lot of sense.
"I see, I understand. But, Mother, this is my first time watching a Soul Fight, and I don't know anything about the contestants. I don't even know who to choose right now."
"Don't worry about that. The Soul Arena will provide basic information about both sides. You can use this information to deduce the outcome."
After saying that, Su Ling'er called the service staff waiting outside the door and asked for a copy of the information.
"Mother, does the main Soul Arena also provide contestant information before the match?" Quanyi asked his mother after the waiter left the room.
Quanyi was very puzzled by his mother's behavior, because when he participated in one-on-one Soul Fights, no one would tell him the specific information about his opponent in advance.
"This is a privilege of the VIP lounge, allowing you to obtain contestant information in advance. Of course, this information is actually very basic, and it's hard to even ensure its accuracy. If the opponent is a newcomer, the Soul Arena can only provide information about their Soul Power level and Martial Soul."
Su Ling'er's answer shocked him. He didn't expect the so-called privilege to be so insignificant.
With just this information, it was difficult for Quanyi to deduce the outcome.
However, on second thought, the Soul Arena wasn't stupid. It couldn't do anything that would harm its own interests.
If they provided detailed information, wouldn't that be shooting themselves in the foot? The people in the VIP lounge were all wealthy, and even a small bet from them would be a big loss for the Soul Arena.
"So, don't rely too much on this information. It's just for reference. But just doing that isn't very interesting. I want to play a game with you."
"What game?" Quanyi asked, puzzled.
"After each Soul Fight, you have to participate in a gamble, and you can only bet ten Gold Soul Coins.
Until you get the Silver Badge, if you earn more Gold Soul Coins through gambling than the principal you put in, then I will prepare a surprise gift for you."
Su Ling'er's real purpose was not to make money, but to train Quanyi's judgment. Judgment is related to the growth of experience and knowledge, and this is another kind of training.
The battle in the morning made her understand that battles of the same level had little training effect on Quanyi, so she could only increase Quanyi's combat experience through this alternative method.
Moreover, in order to arouse Quanyi's interest and make him participate wholeheartedly, Su Ling'er also set up a reward mechanism to encourage Quanyi.
Su Ling'er had put a lot of thought into Quanyi.
"Okay, it's a deal." Although it was called a game, Quanyi knew that it was a kind of training. The reward was certainly intriguing, but the process would also be a growth for Quanyi.
So Quanyi agreed to the challenge without hesitation.
Considering his own cultivation, Quanyi's original plan was to participate in Soul Fights every Saturday and Sunday. If the winning streak plan went smoothly, it would only take fifteen weeks, about four months, to complete the acquisition of the Silver Badge.
After the first Soul Fight, Quanyi was confident in completing this plan.
This meant that Quanyi only had twenty-nine chances.
Earning more than the principal meant that Quanyi would have to have more than 580 Gold Soul Coins in his hand at the end.
Moreover, Quanyi had to consider the odds of both sides. Even if he bet on a team with a high probability of winning, he sometimes couldn't earn a lot of Gold Soul Coins.
Su Ling'er's game sounded simple, but achieving the goal was not an easy task.
However, it was only interesting if it was difficult. Otherwise, Quanyi might not have much motivation just by participating in Soul Fights.
After a while, the service staff brought over a booklet with information.
Opening the booklet, it contained the specific information of both sides, including their names, Martial Souls, and Soul Power levels.
The upcoming event was a seven-on-seven Team Battle, and both teams were all Silver Badge holders.
Each member was a Soul Elder, with a level above forty.
Perhaps because the two teams had participated in a large number of Soul Fights in this Soul Arena, the information in the booklet was more abundant than expected. The Soul Skill information of most of the members was also recorded in the booklet.
Although the description of the Soul Skills was somewhat vague and not specific.
However, this was very helpful for Quanyi to participate in gambling. There was still some time before the Soul Fight started, and Quanyi began to quickly browse the information of the two teams.
Turning to the back, it also listed the specific registration times of the two teams, their win rates, and most importantly, the odds.
After a quick browse, Quanyi had a basic understanding of both sides.
Although it was just basic information, he could see a lot from it.
The two sides facing off were the Beast Team and the Libra Team.
The Beast Team, as the name suggests, had members whose Martial Souls were all beasts, and the team was composed of Power Attack System and Agility Attack System Soul Masters, making it an extremely aggressive team.
In contrast, the Libra Team had a balanced team structure, with Power Attack, Defense, Agility Attack, Control, and Support System Soul Masters.
Because their captain was a Control System Soul Master with the Libra Martial Soul, the team was named the Libra Team.
The difference in Soul Power levels between the two teams was not significant, but the Libra Team's odds were as high as 2.5.
In other words, if Quanyi bet one Gold Soul Coin on the Libra Team, he would get 2.5 Gold Soul Coins.
At the same time, this also meant that most people were not optimistic about the Libra Team.
The two teams had never fought each other before, but their records were very different.
The Beast Team had been registered for more than five years and had participated in hundreds of Team Battles, making them an experienced veteran team, not far from obtaining a Team Silver Badge.
On the other hand, the Libra Team had been registered for less than half a year. Although they had participated in dozens of Team Soul Fights, their record was relatively dismal.
Perhaps because the team was newly formed, the Libra Team's initial win rate was pitifully low. It was not until recently that the Libra Team began to improve slightly, and they had finally accumulated a three-game winning streak.
Viewers with some understanding of the two teams might think that the inexperienced Libra Team would find it difficult to compete with the experienced Beast Team.
However, after re-analyzing the data of both sides, Quanyi had a different idea.
After studying it for a long time, Quanyi closed the booklet.
"So, have you decided which team to bet on?" Su Ling'er asked from the side.
She had also read the information in the booklet, but she did not give Quanyi any hints or suggestions. Everything had to be decided by Quanyi himself.
However, she also knew that Quanyi had always liked and was good at analyzing things since he was a child. This was Quanyi's strength.
Therefore, she was very curious about what kind of choice Quanyi would make.
"I've decided. I'm betting on the Libra Team in this match." Quanyi's tone was firm, and a confident smile faintly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
