Wan Zhan Trading Company moved quickly, and before midnight, they had already found out about Hu Yun.
Hu Yun is competing in the Ten Thousand Battles Arena and has won five games in a row.
"Wanzhan Arena? A place for martial arts competitions?" Qi Hao asked in confusion.
"It's not just a martial arts competition. Ultimately, the Arena of Ten Thousand Battles is a casino. Although the competition is a great attraction, more people are doing it to make money." Lin Ming explained.
The Wan Zhan Arena is different from the Qifeng Arena in that it is not used to settle grievances, but is a business place.
Anyone can enter the arena, become a spectator, and place bets on winning or losing.
Lin Ming went to the ring to compete just to make money.
He won three games in a row and bought himself to win every game. Not only did he make a lot of money, but he also made his own reputation, which made his reputation bigger and bigger.
"Can you find out when he left the ring and where he lives?" Qi Hao asked.
"Since he entered the Wan Zhan Arena, he has eaten and lived here and rarely goes out. As for when he will quit the arena, we can't be sure. If senior brother is interested, I can take him to the arena. This
Time, the arena is not over yet." Lin Ming responded.
"Of course I want to take a look. Please tell me the rules of the arena." Qi Hao nodded.
After Lin Ming heard this, he took Qi Hao towards the ring and introduced it in detail.
"There is no charge to enter the ring to watch the battle. However, all viewers must place bets. As for the proportion of winning and losing, it is judged according to the strength of the players. Under normal circumstances, both sides will be evenly matched. Except for those who have
Except for the haters."
"There are two types of people who enter the ring. One is people like Hu Yun who fight for fame and money. Such people account for the majority, and the other is the professional thugs in Wanzhan Arena.
They only come on stage when there is no one to challenge."
"Then if the contestant wins, how will he be divided?" Qi Hao asked.
"Fifty-fifty! Half goes to the Ten Thousand Battle Arena, and the other half goes to the winner. The loser does not get any bonus. He may even die. Everyone who enters the arena has to sign a life and death certificate."
"So is the mortality rate high?"
"It's not low, about two levels. In ordinary duels, death rarely occurs. If you kill the opponent, you won't get any benefits, and you will also become a grudge. Death occurs either because the two parties have a grudge, or they challenge the king of the ring.
.”
"King of the ring?"
"Yes, if you want to become the king of the ring, you must win ten games in a row before you can challenge the king of the ring. If you win, you can take over and become the next king of the ring. If you become the king of the ring, what will it bring?
It’s a lot of money and reputation. But one thing is that the king of the ring cannot refuse the challenge of others unless the realms of the two parties are very different."
Lin Ming said with certainty: "I think Hu Yun has the idea of challenging the king of the ring, but it is impossible for him to win."
"Why is this?" Qi Hao was surprised.
"Not to mention the current king of the ring, he is a disciple of the Feiyun Sect, and his strength has reached the third level of the bone-joining realm. Now, Zhan Li has become a warrior. Since he has come to Wanzhan City, he must fight for ten thousand battles.
Among the younger generation in the ring, few are his opponents. What’s more, the warrior is undefeated. To defeat the warrior is tantamount to risking one’s life.”
"So that's it. I have another question. Who is the boss behind Wan Zhan Arena?" Fang Yu asked.
"Our City of Ten Thousand Wars is different from other cities. The big industries in other cities are all related to the city lord. But the lord of our City of Ten Thousand Wars doesn't care about worldly affairs, and no one cares about him. The big industries in the City of Ten Thousand Wars are all in all directions.
In the hands of the general."
"General Quartet?"
"That's right! These four generals guard the four gates of Wanzhan City respectively. Their strength is in the realm of Hegu Minggu. Our Wanzhan Trading Company is controlled by General Zhenbei and operates most of the commerce in the city. Wanzhan Arena,
It is controlled by General Zhendong. General Zhendong has the most powerful people. Although he only has a Ten Thousand Battles Arena in his hands, he has recruited many strong people from the arena. Among the four generals, General Zhendong has the strongest power.
Strong."
"General Zhennan is responsible for maintaining the security of Wanzhan City and the taxes of all merchants. Including our Wanzhan Trading Company, we also need to pay taxes. As for General Zhenxi, the mines nearby are his property. On weekdays,
, and rarely appear in the city."
"The division is pretty good. Don't they have competition among each other?"
"It has never happened before. When we encounter danger, we will help each other. Let's put it this way, our general and General Zhennan have a very good relationship. In fact, they only pay part of the tax." Lin Ming responded.
Is it possible that there is no conflict? Although Qi Hao has little education, he also understands that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, let alone four tigers?
Is it because Lin Ming doesn't know, or is there really no conflict? If there is a chance, we still need to find out.
After all, he is the actual city lord now.
"Lin Ming, you are not a practitioner, why do you stay here and join Wanzhan Trading Company?" Qi Hao asked curiously.
Along the way, except for those selling snacks on the roadside.
Even the innkeeper is a practitioner.
"I am a broken jade bone. I have never succeeded in attracting Qi. I should have left. Because my brother was in Wanzhan Trading Company, he took a back door. But I am not a practitioner, so I can only find customers by myself and barely make a living.
"If one day I can't hold on any longer, I might have to leave." Lin Ming said helplessly.
If he hadn't met Qi Hao, he might have left in a few days.
He is not a practitioner. Sometimes when he meets a guest, the guest will reject him and choose a practitioner to lead the way.
Others envy him for being able to stay in the city of cultivation as a mortal, but only he understands.
As a mere mortal, I have suffered so much blank stares and indifference here.
If it weren't for his brother's secret support, he would have been eliminated long ago.
But even so, he had to humble himself every day and keep smiling.
If a practitioner is killed if he offends him, his death will be in vain.
"Are you willing to leave like this?" Qi Hao asked.
"If I were willing, I would have left long ago. But what can I do if I am not willing? The God of Heaven has given us broken jade bones a glimmer of hope. But this glimmer of hope is too slim. Even if I die here of old age, I will not be able to become a practitioner.
"
Lin Ming's words were full of reluctance, but in the end he sighed and asked: "Senior brother, you are so generous, can't you be a jade bone?"
Qi Hao thought for a moment and responded: "I am not a jade bone. Just like you, I am also a broken jade bone. However, I have transformed into a jade bone now."
"Senior brother, are you kidding me?" Lin Ming looked at Qi Hao in disbelief.
