Elder Copper Plate was in fact set up as an openly known figure, just to lead everyone else astray.
In reality, he secretly placed his bets on the rankings Four Treasures Peak truly had the potential to reach.
Wasn't it like this the last time when Cao Zhen and Starshine Peak had their contest?
Elder Copper Plate deliberately bet on Cao Zhen to lose, misguiding others.
It must be so. Cao Zhen had made a considerable amount of Spirit Stones from selling Divine Weapons before, far more than a hundred thousand. Certainly, he would use even more Spirit Stones to bet on other rankings.
He deceived others, probably fearing that too many people would select the same odds as he did, ultimately causing the betting house to go bankrupt and unable to pay out the Spirit Stones. That way, he would be at a loss, so he had to deceive others.
