Su Lun also didn't expect that there was a "death match" in the underground casino in the Green neighborhood.
This is a very cruel fighting game. There are no rounds, no counting, and the outcome is determined by life or death.
Because it is a fight to the death, the gladiators will fight with all their strength, which is highly entertaining to watch.
Also because the killing move is often instantaneous, there are many uncertain factors in the outcome, which makes people's nerves more tender and exciting, making gambling more entertaining.
Therefore, this bloody gladiatorial match is the most popular gambling project in the underground world.
...
Su Lun followed captain Kai into this fighting and gambling stall called "Scarlet Bunker".
Gangsters have gang cards, and whether they recognize them or not, gamblers will unconsciously give way when they see the "cross star" logo on their bodies.
The air is filled with a sweet aroma, which is a kind of psychedelic potion that can make people nervous. "Pharmacology" is the basic skill of alchemists, and there are people in the black market who specialize in making and selling these addictive psychedelic potions.
"'Skull Crusher' tear him apart!"
"Oh, 'Undertaker', get up the fuck, I've got ten thousand liso over you, don't lose to me!"
"Hahaha, the 'Skull Crusher' is going to win! Kill him and kick that guy's head off..."
"..."
The second underground floor is as big as an indoor basketball court, with a huge octagonal cage fighting cage in the center.
In the ring, two gladiators covered in blood were fighting to the death.
The battle was fast-paced, and after several rounds of fighting, the strong gladiator named "Skull Crusher" broke his opponent's neck, and a wave of cheers erupted in the casino.
Of course, it was also mixed with the curses of gamblers who lost their bets.
Su Lun stared at the "gray mist" floating on the corpse in the distance, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Before, he felt that there was no room for his [Death Reaper] to develop after entering the city. Now it seems that joining a gang is not bad.
Kai looked at Su Lun with strange eyes, guessing that it was probably his first time to come to this kind of gladiatorial match. He also introduced to a few newcomers: "This is the most popular gambling method in our Green Street...
"
As he said that, he pointed to the private rooms on the top floor of the auditorium and said, "Did you see that? Many of those private rooms are big shots in the inner city. Those are really rich people who spend a lot of money..."
Su Lun listened and looked towards the private rooms equipped with one-way glass.
Behind those black glasses, there seemed to be a pair of eyes, staring at everything in the arena.
After hearing this, some newcomers asked: "Will the big shots in the inner city come to the outer city? Don't those arrogant guys dislike our outer city being dirty and shabby and never set foot in it..."
"Haha...there are quite a few coming."
Kai shrugged, as if he had no respect for the people in the inner city: "After all, there are no such exciting games in the inner city. Those guys want to have fun and come to our territory. However, it is also because of these financial backers that we can
Life is so nourishing."
As he said that, he didn't know what he was thinking of, and he warned a few newcomers: "Although we and those big figures in the inner city are from two different worlds, there is a high probability that we will not have any intersection. But if we really encounter each other in the future, you
Don’t provoke those guys from the inner city either. Otherwise, you’ll cause trouble for the boss and the others.”
Su Lun also nodded along with the newcomers and said, "I understand, Captain."
.......
Kai took everyone around the casino and made several newcomers familiar.
"Okay, today's mission is done. Go ahead and do whatever you need to do. Remember to bring your communicator."
"Okay, the captain is wise."
"Go away, stop flattering me."
As soon as Kai announced that he was "off duty", several veterans dispersed in excitement.
He looked at the few newcomers who were still a little confused, and said: "On your first day joining the gang, you can have fun. The taverns and flower gardens just now were covered by our 'Cross Society'. If you are looking for a girl,
There are discounts too.”
As soon as these words came out, except for Su Lun, the other newcomers showed eager and ambiguous smiles on their faces.
Kai seemed to be more interested in cage fighting, and gave a special advice: "You can all have fun with other things. But gambling, it's best not to engage in it...especially this kind of cage fighting, it's very fun to play.
It’s easy to get hooked. With that kind of money, there are so many girls to play with.”
Everyone: "I know, Captain."
Kai said, seeming to remember something, and gave a negative example.
He pointed at the only veteran who had not left yet, and said with a look of disgust: "No, it's like Sam, last month's salary was exported in one night. Now I have to rely on the gang brothers for food.
Isn’t it a shame to support others..."
On the side, Sam, who was wounded, looked like an aggrieved little daughter-in-law, and murmured weakly: "Originally, I won thousands of dollars in several games... I didn't expect an upset.
Okay, I’m so angry that I’ll raise my bet..."
The mentality of a gambler is the same in every world.
If you win, you don't want to leave. If you lose, you want to get your money back. If you lose again, you will double it, and then you will sink deeper and deeper.
Su Lun probably understood from what he heard that Kai was worried that he would lose all his money in one day.
This captain seems to be a pretty good person.
Kai rolled his eyes and didn't listen to this guy's explanation. He waved his hand and said to Su Lun and the others: "Okay, you guys can go too."
Everyone nodded: "Yes, Captain."
.......
As soon as Kai left, everyone felt that they were no longer restrained.
The other three newcomers have long been thinking about the beautiful girls from before.
Being a gangster means living a happy life with wine, meat and women.
"Su Lun, aren't you going?"
"No. I want to stay here for a while."
"..."
Su Lun did not go to Fengyue Pavilion with the other three, his attention was always on the ring.
Reason tells him that compared with women, strengthening strength is the capital to survive in this world.
His awakened [Collector] talent focuses on development. As long as he lives long enough, he will have everything he wants.
In just this moment, a new gladiatorial match began.
Two newcomers were replaced in the octagonal net box, and a bloody fight to the death began again.
Su Lun squeezed in from the crowd of gamblers and leaned towards the cage.
To collect memory fragments, he must get close enough.
When the gamblers saw someone pushing in, they originally wanted to curse a few words with anger on their faces, but when they saw the "cross star" logo on Su Lun's clothes, they swallowed it down immediately.
The "Iron Cross" still has a great deterrent effect in the eyes of ordinary people.
Su Lun didn't care and squeezed into the passage on the left side of the fighting cage.
If he remembered correctly, this would be the passage where the body was dragged down.
There were at least thousands of people in the casino, making it very noisy.
No one would pay attention to where a failed corpse was dragged away, but Su Lun was also worried that someone would discover his collection of soul fragments, so he specifically found this less noticeable corner.
At this time, a graceful girl carrying a tray squeezed through the crowd.
She looked at Su Lun with a smile on her face and asked softly: "Sir, do you want to place a bet? You can't buy this one, but you can buy another one. There is an extra multiplier for blind guessing~"
"Red square, buy one thousand."
Squeezing into such a front position, anyone would think that Su Lun was an avid gambler. Su Lun naturally took out a stack of banknotes and placed them on the tray.
The girl was squeezed so hard by the crowd that her whole body was pressed against Su Lun's body, and her chest was proudly squeezed out of shape. She didn't seem to care, she took the money, took out the receipt, and gave Su Lun a wink, saying
: "I think sir can definitely guess it right~"
"Well, I feel the same way."
Su Lun smiled slightly.
He didn't think that he was so handsome with his bald head now that he could make beautiful women take the initiative to embrace him.
When he was observing just now, he had already discovered that the betting girls in the casinos for these activities would take the initiative to please the customers. This is because the gamblers who won the bets would not be stingy with tips. Don't worry, they would be taken advantage of by those salty hands, they would take advantage of them all night
The income is even more impressive than that of most gamblers. This job makes much more money and is much easier than the girls in the custom shops who stand on the streets outside.
...
"kill him!"
"kill him!"
"..."
Near the cage, a group of gamblers holding gambling tickets shouted the names of the gladiators they were suppressing at the top of their lungs. Although Su Lun had no interest in gambling, he also observed the battle with concentration.
It was also the first time for him to see such a bloody and cruel fight, and some suppressed emotions began to stir in his heart.
The fighter in the ring gave him his first lesson in fighting from another world.
The wind of fists roared, and the murderous rage made people's scalp numb...
Su Lun led himself into the gladiators on the field, and was deeply moved when he saw them: "No wonder the All-Knowing Eye evaluated my fighting skills as 'advanced entry level'. If I faced them in the ring, I would probably be dead as soon as I met them."
will be killed."
At this moment, Su Lun saw a huge gap.
The attacks of these gladiators in the ring are ruthless, as sharp as bullets or daggers. If they hit the vital point, they will immediately follow up with the killing move, without giving their opponents any chance to counterattack.
Killed with one blow.
There are no fancy moves in this kind of fighting, everything is aimed at killing people.
This is completely different from the fighting Su Lun remembered!
This world gradually showed its cruel side to Su Lun, a time traveler.
