Long before Yanagawa entered the villa, He Zhao quickly activated the power of divine concealment. He couldn't take off his vest for the time being, and he could hide it for as long as he could.
"Master, are you also going to the arena to watch the game?"
Boss Liu asked in a rather flattering manner when he saw the well-dressed Golden Thigh.
Last night, while he was sleeping, he received a call from his brother-in-law. The other party described in detail the effectiveness of the new Qi and blood medicine and the future prospects. So, at that moment, he made up his mind that when he saw the master in the future, he would treat the master like his own father, and he would not dare to be careless at all.
.
"what match?"
The man surnamed He looked confused and just wanted to send him away as soon as possible. He had a date and he couldn't let the light bulb ruin the scenery.
"Hey! Have you forgotten? Today is the annual martial arts certification competition, and the whole Sanchuan City has been agitated for a long time. Those who have money will buy tickets to watch it on site, while those who have no money will stay at home and watch the broadcast on TV."
"Martial Arts Master Certification Competition?"
To be honest, there seems to be some impression in my memory, but it is not very profound. I only know that this time of year is very lively. However, human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same. In the previous life, I only felt that they were noisy.
After all, a middle school student with a genetic disease only wants to make money.
"Ahem, Master, you know. There are two ways to pass the martial arts certification. One is to perform D-level tasks issued by the coalition government, or to hunt D-level exotic beasts, and the Warriors Association will recognize the status of a martial artist.
The other is more interesting, a martial arts certification competition jointly organized by the joint government and top leaders of the association. Either through the preliminary round, or recommended by the joint government, the martial arts association, the pharmacists association, the entrepreneur association and other giants in Sanchuan City.
Then, a hundred high-level warriors were carefully selected from them. They were said to be high-level warriors, but in fact they were all martial artists, but they were not officially certified.
Then, one hundred so-called high-level warriors went through three rounds of fighting against D-, D, and D+ level beasts. After surviving three rounds, they were randomly drawn and caught in a fight.
Finally, the winner is decided.
The winner will become the martial arts director of the Warriors Association.
It can be said that you reach the sky in one step.
In the process of fighting with alien beasts and humans, you can place bets in each round. Every year, people double their wealth and become rich after the event, and countless people jump from the rooftop.
In short, this is a national carnival.”
He Zhao: ""
understood!
Cut leeks.
If I guessed correctly, the backgrounds of people who suddenly became rich must not be simple. Those who queue up to go to the rooftop must be small business owners with no roots and no wealth, and the poor people. In fact, during this period, countless loan companies will spring up like mushrooms after a rain.
After the competition is over, loan companies will inevitably come to collect debts, freeze bank accounts, or seize fixed assets such as houses. More seriously, it is not impossible to take away wives and daughters by force.
After that, there will temporarily be a lot of freshly minted organs and slaves on some black markets.
Pan Long?
He was just a ball. It was not Pan Zi's turn to do this kind of business. All he could do was be a ruthless person with a huge backing behind him.
After all, according to the latest data released by the coalition government, the population of Sanchuan City is around 580 million. This does not include the cockroaches hiding in the sewers and lingering.
The high-level martial artist is considered a character in the outer ring. Once he enters the middle ring or the upper ring, there will be martial masters, great martial masters and others pressing him down. Dealing with him is just like playing games.
If you dare to steal business today, there will be an extra corpse in the gutter tomorrow.
【08:00】
He Zhao glanced at the electronic clock. He immediately stood up and called Yanagawa to the martial arts certification competition.
It's not that he doesn't keep his word. Since Wang Miao didn't come, there is no need to wait any longer. He has never been spoiled by women, even his girlfriend.
In the morning, it generally refers to 6:00 or 8:00.
If you are not punctual, don't blame me for not waiting.
The two drove all the way to the arena.
If he didn't know, he might choose to rest. Since he encountered it, he simply went to take a look, which was a rare relaxation.
"Ouch!"
The two arrived at the parking lot smoothly. As soon as they got off the car and came to the outside of the arena, they saw a sea of people.
The temperature had dropped in the past two days, but the heat wave that hit his face made him loosen the buttons on his clothes.
"Master, we live in the same area all year round, and there may not be many people there. If you walk around more, you will know that the population of Sanchuan City is really huge.
Don't think that our population is the largest. It is said that the population of Shangjing City exceeded one billion a few years ago. It is said that before the new century, the most populous city had more than 30 million people.
How relaxed do you think it is? Does it mean that each person has a house and the transportation is very convenient?"
Yanagawa stood aside, acting like a bitch, not noticing the strange look on Jin Tachi's face at all.
My child, you really think too much.
"The arena can seat more than 200,000 people. We have VIP tickets and can sit in the front row. Unfortunately, three rounds of alien beasts fought in the past, and when the remaining players caught up to fight against each other, my brother-in-law was afraid that he would not be able to get a front-row ticket.
I can only sit in the back and watch the huge display screen.”
"How much is the ticket price?" He Zhao suddenly asked.
"The cheapest one is 200,000 gold dollars. If you get it from a scalper, the starting price is 500,000 gold dollars. If there is competition, the starting price is 1 million gold dollars.
Our VIP tickets were obtained from within the Warriors Association, priced at five million gold dollars each. It’s just my brother-in-law who didn’t spend a penny through some means.”
Yes, no need to think about it.
It must be an energy potion. The former has long been spread in the circle, and countless people are begging to buy it. As long as Pan Long, the spokesperson in front of the stage, opens his mouth, people will naturally offer tickets with both hands, and no one will have trouble with the life-saving thing.
"It's really like cutting leeks from death."
The first three rounds are just a means for the coalition government to harvest some wealthy people in the outer ring. In one round, they can harvest 40 billion gold dollars, and the level of the alien beasts in each round will increase upwards. The tickets for the second and third rounds, I'm afraid
It will rise several times more.
In subsequent competitions, except for people with backgrounds and connections, we can continue to cut a few crops.
If you add spinach and two sickles, I am afraid that 99% of people will have empty wallets and work even harder in the factory.
MD, isn’t this more than what he earns from working so hard to mix potions?
When it comes to making money, the coalition government is still ruthless!
Money and people are all needed.
"go in."
The whole arena was noisy, and you had to shout loudly when talking to others, otherwise you wouldn't hear anything.
The two followed the flow of people and came to the edge of the ring.
In the arena, on the high platform, there are alloy iron cages as thick as arms.
If protection measures are not taken, if a strange beast rushes into the audience, it will definitely be a massacre.
He Zhao sat down, and after a while, someone finally came to the seat on the left, which had always been empty.
The visitor was none other than his nominal girlfriend Wang Miao.
"???"
Before he could ask, Yanagawa said in a mean tone.
"Knowing that you are interested in her, my brother-in-law specially arranged it. Of course, her ticket was decided by the president of the Warriors Association in advance. After we got the news, we found someone to get the ticket."
He Zhao: ""
It's a good thing I'm wearing a vest, otherwise there would have been a quarrel.
He had seen Wang Miao's family information. He was just the owner of a food processing factory in the outer ring, but his business was very large.
But how did a businessman get in touch with the president of an association?
It shouldn't be. There are too many bosses who are richer than Wang Miao's father.
Moreover, you left me a note yesterday saying that you were going shopping today, and then you left him and came to the arena alone. You are schizophrenic!
Something is wrong, something is really wrong.
The suspicion towards his girlfriend was gradually extinguished, but he just kept an appropriate amount of vigilance towards him, frowned, and glanced at the other person with deep meaning.
"Gentlemen and ladies. Welcome to Sanchuan Arena!!"
"Ouch"
More than 200,000 people shouted in unison, and the roar of mountains and tsunami were not enough to describe the situation.
"Without any further ado, let's start the bloody fight!"
The host said a few words and then left the stage the next second.
In the iron cage on the arena, when the floor was opened to support each warrior, D-level beasts followed them out simultaneously.
"boom"
The atmosphere in the arena became increasingly heated.
Wang Miao's eyes shone with a light of unknown meaning, and there was an air of aloofness and even indifference to all sentient beings.
Next to him, He Zhao, who had only been her boyfriend for three days, frowned tightly.
Abnormal!
Is she really schizophrenic?
Otherwise, where did this queenly energy come from?
There is a problem, and it is a big problem.
Otherwise, run first as a sign of respect?
"Kill!"
"On the 38th, try to kill the alien beast in five minutes. I will buy you with all my wealth."
"Beast No. 99, you must fight for your reputation. I will overwhelm you and kill the contestant. If I win, my wealth will be increased thirty-seven times!!"
Except for the audience in the first few dozen rows who were relatively calm, the audience sitting in the back were shouting at the top of their lungs and their eyes were red and bloodshot.
Apparently, many people bet their entire fortune on it.
"Betting dogs will die a good death!"
He Zhao cursed secretly, the coalition government is not a good thing either.
"Tap tap tap"
Footsteps sounded, and an old man with gray hair and a cane slowly walked to the empty seat next to Wang Miao's left hand.
"The president of the Warriors Association, the number one martial arts master in Sanchuan City, a person who surpasses the great martial arts master."
Yanagawa sat aside and played the role of inquirer very well.
"How is Sanchuan City? Much better than the herd of beasts, right? Look at these people, how enthusiastic they are." The president was sitting on his seat, minding his own business.
I don’t know who I was telling it to.
"If a military commander wants to break through to the realm of the God of War, he needs the blood of the king. In the past, we fought desperately to get the blood of the alien beast king who died due to an accident, but it was only enough for three people to advance.
Originally, I chose to give up. But, I got a strange book. Its content is very simple, it is just a ritual. I have endured this situation for more than half a year, it is not easy. "
The president paused and continued.
"Actually, I knew it as early as when you entered Sanchuan City through the sewer. I didn't arrest you immediately, but I just planned to cooperate with the 200,000 people in the arena to start the ceremony.
After all, a split body of a kingly beast is equally valuable, and the source of the ritual will definitely like it very much."
At this time, Wang Miao slowly turned his head and smiled sweetly.
"Do you think you can defeat me?"
He Zhao, who had been eavesdropping with his ears erect, felt his whole body numb.
