Chapter 481: Prologue of the upcoming Battle (1/2)
...
”And~! Here we are! We only have a few minutes before our most anticipated match,” said Mr. Cool Guy.
He was one of the hosts that were chosen by True Insight to cover this match. He didn't want to accept it at first since he was too ashamed for all of the invisible slaps that Shin gave him during the Shadow Ranking Cup.
But after learning that the game event organizers chose the 'True Sight Industries' to be the official broadcasters of all special events of the game, Mr. Cool Guy immediately accepted the offer without any hesitation.
”This is going to be an interesting match. What do you think partner?” he asked as he turned his head at the woman beside him.
”Of course, this is going to be a very interesting match. It is a battle between a veteran Godlike Player and a rising star who attracted the attention of every player of the game,” this girl was Marry, Miss Bunny's competitor, and greatest rival.
She was quite happy when she learned that she was chosen to cover such a sensational match. But she also became annoyed after learning that she was only the second choice. And what was worse, Miss Bunny was the first pick of their company.
When she heard about that, she couldn't help but become enraged; it made her feel like a dumping site or something. It was as if Miss Bunny's trash was thrown at her.
But she immediately forgot about that when she learned that their company became the official broadcasters of the game. She even thought that Miss Bunny was an idiot for missing out on an opportunity like this.
She looked at the camera with her greatest smile and said. ”Oh! I forgot to introduce myself to our first-time viewers. I'm your current host for this broadcast, Miss Marry.”
She then paused for a moment to turn her head towards Mr. Cool Guy before adding. ”I don't need to introduce this handsome host beside me, right? After all, there is no one who can be as good-looking as him in this field.”
Mr. Cool Guy chuckled a little when he heard that and replied. ”You flattered me too much, Miss Marry. I don't deserve such a compliment.”
After that, he smoothly shifted the topic towards the upcoming fight by saying. ”Anyway, I heard that this match even attracted the attention of the Godlike Players in the Godly Ranking List. What can you say about that, partner?”
”It is only natural, partner. After all, this Immortal that we are talking about. It is only natural for the Top-Ranked Gods to be interested in this match,” replied Miss Marry after a slight giggle.
”So, who do you favor in this match? Want to make a little betting?” asked Mr. Cool Guy while chuckling.
Hearing that, Miss Marry 'thought' for a moment before giving her reply. ”Hmm. Ok, whoever got the right call will get a coffee treat later. Deal?”
”Call! So, ladies first. Who do you place your money on?” said Mr. Cool Guy.
”Of course, I am going with Immortal,” said Miss Marry smilingly.
Mr. Cool Guy chuckled a little when he heard that before replying. ”Too bad. He is also my bet too. Then I guess, I will choose the Dark Horse this time? Who knows the Goddess of Luck will smile upon me.”
Hearing that, Miss Marry started giggling before suggesting. ”Since we are going to bet on the same side. Then how about we make a series prediction instead? After, all this match is going to be in a best of three series. Whoever gets the accurate prediction is going to win this bet.”
”Oh! Good idea! Then I am going to bet 2-1 in Immortal's favor,” said Mr. Cool Guy with a snap.
Miss Marry smiled a little after hearing that and replied. ”Then I'll take 2-0 in favor of Immortal.”
Mr. Cool Guy nodded his head after closing the bet before continuing with the script. ”Speaking about bets. The odds of the betting pool in the official website are also against our dark horse.”
The moment he said those words, the huge screen behind them showed the current betting ratio in the game's official website.
”Hmm, an 85% - 15% odds? Looks like the Angel of Death has a very few numbers of believers,” said Miss Marry after taking a quick look at the screen.
At the same time, Mr. Cool Guy nodded his head before supporting her. ”Well, that is to be expected. Immortal built a very solid reputation in the gaming industry, so it is very natural for him to get a lot of supporters.”
After that, they swiftly changed the topic while displaying a different view on the screen – it was now showing the battle arena where the duel was going to take place.
”An ordinary Gladiator's Arena but with a larger space,” said Mr. Cool Guy while looking at the screen. And after a brief pause, he turned his head back to the camera before replying. ”Since this challenge was set in 'default mode', we are going to have a very simple stage.”
Meanwhile, Miss Marry nodded her head and added. ”There is a hidden mechanics on the Godly Challenge Rights, but since it concerns some of the secrets of the game, we are not going to discuss it.”
