Chapter 527 The game begins (5K big chapter, please subscribe, please vote monthly)
"The Void Arena is mainly composed of three forces. The first is the Devil's Castle represented by Alice, but there are rumors that Alice just stole the authority of the original representative. The Devil's Castle originally belonged to the Devil clan.
The second force is the Feather Clan. It is said that there is a deep hatred between the Feather Clan and the Demon Clan, so this arena was built to compete with the Demon Clan, and later gradually evolved into the current Void Arena.
As for the third force, it is an organization called the Goblin Chamber of Commerce. From what Nora said, this Goblin Chamber of Commerce seems to have strong financial resources. Every time they hold a gladiatorial battle, they will bear 90% of the expenses. Of course, in return, the Goblin Chamber of Commerce will also receive 90% of the proceeds. "
There are 260 contestants in this arena.
Only the top 20 players, that is, those who pass the fifth game, will have the opportunity to advance to the next round.
After Lin Yi passes the fifth round of the game, he can choose to return to Samsara Paradise or continue to participate in higher-level fighting skills.
The top three have very high rewards, which are items from the void.
The Void Arena adopts an elimination system.
After the contestants receive their number plates, the first round of drawing will begin.
Since the number of contestants is an integer, there are no byes in the first round and everyone must participate in the battle.
"What's your number?"
"213, what about you?"
"106, it looks like we won't be able to run into each other in the early stage."
As the order of the first round was announced, the number plate in Su Xiao's hand also changed. There was an extra number on the side of the number plate - No. 51, which was the number of the opponent he would face in the first round.
The number 17 appears on the back of the number plate in Lin Yi's hand, which means that he may play earlier than Su Xiao.
On a screen in the notary office, a diagram in the shape of a ladder was displayed.
Currently, all contestants are at the bottom of the ladder. The winning players will gradually move up the ladder chart, while those who lose will lose the opportunity to continue competing.
The Void Arena is extremely dangerous, and the probability of death after failure is quite high. Even if you survive by chance, you will often be seriously injured.
Therefore, there is no Easter match here and it cannot be held.
The rules of the Void Arena are quite simple, it can even be said that there are almost no rules.
Powerful explosives can also be used in the arena, and the emergence of mechas and other equipment is even more common.
With very few rules, the mortality rate among contestants is extremely high.
According to statistics, the mortality rate in the Void Arena is about 40% to 50%.
This means that for every 10 people who enter here, at most one or two will be able to walk out intact. The remaining survivors will suffer varying degrees of injuries, and even four to five will unfortunately die.
Despite such an alarming mortality rate, there are still so many people willing to participate in the Void Arena, which is enough to show how tempting the rewards here are.
Not only that, this is also a good opportunity to stand out. If they can get a high ranking, some contestants will give up the competition around the top twenty and then accept recruitment from big forces.
The existence of the Void Arena is not just for watching games.
Compared with the income from ticket sales, the "sponsorship fees" of some big forces are more substantial.
After paying the "sponsorship fee", these forces gained the qualification to recruit talents in the Void Arena.
Therefore, this arena is not only a life and death battle, but also a platform for talent selection and recruitment.
But Lin Yi was not among them.
This time there are too many big guys coming to protect him, and the three forces behind the Void Arena must give these big guys face, not to mention that the Yu clan itself is one of the leaders of the Void Arena.
Yellow sand, blood, passionate battles, the honor of first place, opportunities everywhere, and enviable rewards, these are the reputation of the Void Arena for hundreds of years, and are also the main reasons for its prosperity to this day.
Following the guidance of the work signs, Lin Yi and Su Xiao followed the team of contestants into the competition channel.
After passing through the contestant tunnel, Lin Yi arrived at the center of the arena.
He was sitting in the player viewing area, which was located below the general auditorium and very close to the yellow sand field in the center.
"Hoo!!!" The cheers surged in and were deafening. The momentum created by millions of spectators from all races was simply indescribable. The audience was full of people and lively.
The auditorium was noisy, and there were many races that Lin Yi had never seen before.
There is a troll with two heads. He looks similar to a common troll, but his behavior is quite funny.
He was holding snacks in his hands, and stuffing food into his mouths with his left and right hands respectively. The two heads seemed to have different thoughts, and they would quarrel over certain differences from time to time, which made people laugh.
Compared with the two-headed trolls, some races have completely lost their human form in appearance.
For example, there was a big octopus lying in the audience, holding a huge wine glass in its tentacles, which was as big as a water tank.
The wine glass was filled with beer. After taking a few sips of beer, the octopus drunkenly raised its tentacles and shouted: "Kill her~~~"
It spoke with a vibrato, its whole body shook from time to time due to drunkenness, and it also let out silly laughter.
An octopus drinking beer is already weird, but don’t worry, there are even weirder ones.
"Hahahaha, stay away from me!" A loud laugh came from the front of the auditorium.
The owner of the laughter was a rat man. He was holding a bottle of strong liquor in his hand and holding a cute girl from "Lalata Star" in his arms.
Lalata people are similar in appearance to humans, but have some animal characteristics, and the women of this planet are famous for their beauty.
In this exhibition competition, more than a dozen cute girls from Lala Tower Star were invited to participate.
However, at this time, the rat man was hugging one of the cute girls who was supposed to participate in the exhibition match. This was undoubtedly a provocation to the organizer. But the strange thing is that no one stood up to stop it.
It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to, it’s that they don’t dare.
This rat man is called "Lord Rat". Not only is he extremely powerful, but more importantly, the existence behind him is too terrifying.
That terrifying existence has many titles: Planet Destroyer, Disaster of War, Source of Disaster for Creatures, Swordsman of the Void, Strongest Nerve in the Void, Drunk Madman, etc. There are dozens of such titles.
The deterrent power of this terrifying existence in the void can no longer be described as "children dare not cry at night".
Whenever he is near a planet, the surrounding planets will immediately remove all defense facilities.
This is not to express welcome, but because they no longer dare to resist.
The end of resistance is too tragic, and genocide only occurs in an instant.
According to statistics from various major forces, the number of creatures who died at the hands of that terrifying existence is calculated in the hundreds of millions. The specific number cannot be accurately calculated at all.
Because of this background, no one dared to stop Lord Rat from doing whatever he wanted in the arena.
It’s not that they don’t want to, it’s that they really don’t dare.
Even if Alice was given ten courages, she would not dare to provoke Lord Rat easily.
Although the being behind Lord Rat has not appeared for many years and is said to have disappeared into the deepest part of the black abyss, who knows if he is still alive? If he were still alive, the consequences of rashly provoking Lord Rat would be disastrous.
That being was famous for being a protector of shortcomings. Many years ago, a certain race besieged Lord Rat. As a result, not long after, that race completely disappeared in the void, leaving no one left.
At this time, Lord Rat hugged the trembling cute girl from "Lalata Star", and the tears in her eyes shone with fear and desire.
She hoped that the heroes in her heart would come to save her. However, those "heroes" who were famous in the void turned their heads silently, pretending not to see this scene.
In the face of this absolute fear, even heroes will choose to avoid its edge.
"Okay, Bakurat, can't you be quiet?" This sentence came from the mouth of a giant over five meters tall.
Sitting next to him were senior figures from various major races such as the Yu Clan, the Devil Clan, and the Star Clan.
Master Shu naturally knew the purpose of these people coming. If he had known that so many big guys were here to watch Lin Yi's safety this time, he would not have accepted the call from Samsara Paradise.
"It's really hard work." Lord Rat smiled and took a sip of strong wine, then turned his eyes to the players' viewing seats.
There is a temporary reincarnation mark engraved on the back of his hand, which shows that he came to the Void Arena due to a commission or transaction from the Reincarnation Paradise.
There is no need to explain the meaning of this mark.
The Reincarnation Paradise brought Su Xiao, Lin Yi and others to the Void Arena. For them who had not yet advanced to the third level, it was indeed too early to come into contact with the void.
Even if they are promoted to the third level, they are still not qualified to wander in the void.
Therefore, Samsara Paradise has taken an insurance measure, that is Lord Rat.
If the contractor and the hunter die in the duel, Samsara Paradise will not interfere.
However, if they encounter danger from outside the fighting skills, Samsara Paradise will never sit idly by.
Samsara Paradise seems not to want to interfere too much with the rules of the void, so Lord Rat appears.
Lord Rat's appearance did not have any impact on the atmosphere of the arena, and the audience was still filled with cheers like waves. On the yellow sand field, six cute girls about 1.5 meters tall were fighting fiercely.
These girls from "Lalata Star" have gorgeous and skillful moves, and their fighting movements are smooth and crisp.
Rather than saying they were engaging in a life-and-death struggle, it was more like they were putting on a wonderful show for the audience.
"Ha!" With a shout, a cute girl with rabbit ears was hit by another cute girl with feline flesh pads on her hands.
The cute girl with rabbit ears received a heavy slap from the cute girl with meat pads. She glared at the audience while they were not paying attention.
"It hurts~ It's too hard."
The cute girl with rabbit ears expressed her dissatisfaction, and the cute girl with flesh-padded paws secretly stuck out her tongue.
Just as the cute girl with rabbit ears was flying in the air, she pressed the mechanism on her wrist.
There was only a "tearing" sound, and her coat exploded instantly, leaving only her underwear, and then with a "pop", her fair body fell on the yellow sand, looking pitiful.
This revealing performance immediately triggered bursts of weird laughter in the audience.
"Oh ho ho ho~" the "gentlemen" in the audience cheered. For them, watching this exhibition match before the start of the game is indeed a good way to spend time.
The winner will be decided in the exhibition match. The cute bunny-eared girl's belly was red from being beaten, so her teammates temporarily decided to use this victory as compensation for her.
"Dear viewers, this is the end of the exhibition match. I don't know how you feel about watching it. Personally, I give this exhibition match 9 points, leaving 1 point to prevent these little cute creatures from being proud."
On the commentary platform at the highest point diagonally above the arena, a demon commentator with red skin and two horns on his head announced loudly.
This demon commentator is a celebrity in the void, akin to a star.
It is different from the demon tribe, which is generally lawful evil, advocates 'fair' transactions, and does not like to use force to solve problems in most cases.
Therefore, the devils mostly engage in professions such as merchants in the void, and are known for their integrity and fair dealings.
The Void Arena spent a lot of money to hire him as a commentator this time, which is enough to show how much the arena attaches importance to this competition.
"Everyone, do you still remember me? I am..."
The devil commentator pointed the round microphone in his hand at the audience.
"Huck, Huck..."
The audience started shouting in unison.
"That's right! I am the spokesperson of lawful evil, Huck. Void Arena audience, Huck misses you very much. Without further ado, let's start the game directly."
Devil Huck's commentary style puzzled the organizers. Huck directly announced the start of the game without whetting the audience's appetite. This was very different from other fighting commentators.
There was sudden silence in the audience. In the past, the fighting commentators would talk nonsense for at least half an hour, introducing various 'sponsored' forces, or bragging about the sponsors. This was the most boring time.
"roar!!"
The reaction from the audience was so overwhelming that even when other commentators tried their best to whet the audience's appetite, they had never seen such a strong reaction.
The person in charge of the organizer quickly signaled to his subordinates on the side to start the game immediately in order to keep up with Huck's explanation.
As the war drums above the Void Arena beat, and after seven war drums, the game officially began.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire arena reached a climax.
"Everyone, as the opening match of this year's Void Gladiator, Hack would like to explain in advance that this match will be exciting. First of all, I would like to invite Mr. Oller, a warrior from the Machine Tribe who does not want to be named."
Most of the audience in the audience looked confused when they heard this 'Mr. Oler who wishes to remain anonymous'. This sentence was wrong no matter how it sounded.
A swarthy man walked into the yellow sand field. His eyes were mechanical eyes. To be precise, his whole body was made of mechanical structures, but he was not a robot, but a machine race.
The origin of the mechanical race can be traced back to a long time ago, and the specific birth process has been submerged in the long river of history.
One day, they suddenly appeared in the void, and then gradually grew and grew, and now they have become one of the large groups in the void that cannot be ignored.
Although their bodies are made of metal, the robots have independent subjective consciousness.
Their metal bodies are not inanimate dead objects, but a magical, living metal.
What's even more surprising is that the mechanical race also has senses such as touch, although it is much weaker than the biological race.
The mechanical warrior Aole didn't seem very happy. He originally wanted to announce his name after winning a match, so that he could get more attention.
But the attention from the audience stunned Oler on the yellow battlefield. The soldier didn't know that the devil Huck had seen his intention and helped him, 'Mr. Oler who does not want to be named', It is far easier to remember than announcing your life after winning a game.
"Now, welcome to the opponent of our 'Unknown Man' Oler, Player Pi Pang. By the way, Mr. Pi Pang comes from some mysterious big force. It's very mysterious. It's so mysterious that even Huck doesn't know what it is." power."
Pi Pang walked into the battlefield, holding a piece of dried meat in his hand. The game was about to start, but he did not stop eating.
Buzz~
A circular transparent energy shield rose to isolate the audience from Mr. Huang's venue, so as to prevent the aftermath of the battle from hurting the audience.
"There are no rules in the competition. The only thing the contestants have to do is to try their best to defeat their opponents. Then...the fighting begins!"
Haha announced the start of the game with a long, bewitching voice.
This is the racial talent of the devil clan, who are good at bewitching others.
In today's era, it is no longer popular for demons to make deals with backward planets to obtain their souls and make more money by hosting such large-scale arenas.
In the final analysis, the devils have the essence of businessmen, but they are just profiteers.
As soon as the game started, Pi Pang and the mechanical family Oler rushed towards each other.
"Is it so direct? It's really exciting!"
Huck's sudden voice distracted some spectators who were focused on the game. Realizing this, the organizer signaled to turn off Huck's microphone. Huck was excellent in every aspect, but this was not the case. How about it, I like to 'steal the spotlight'.
Ignoring Huck, who had his microphone turned off and could only enjoy himself on the commentary stage, the two people on the yellow battlefield were already fighting together.
Bang, bang...
Both of them fought in close combat, which could be described as punching to the flesh
Ole from the mechanical tribe punched out, and this punch directly left an afterimage.
Pi Pang didn't dodge the punch, or in other words, he couldn't dodge the punch in his current state.
A metal fist with a metallic luster in the darkness hit Pi Pang's chest. As soon as the hard metal fist touched Pi Pang's body, it sank directly into the fat on his body.
Pi Pang pushed back with his hands, and the fat all over his body surged like water waves to dissolve the power of Oler's punch.
More than 90% of the violent punch force on his chest was transmitted through his fat.
The force of the punch was transmitted along the fat on both sides of his waist, into the fat on his back, and finally completely separated from his body.
With a soft "collapse" sound, Pi Pang's whole body bounced like a water balloon.
After this punch, Pi Pang was unscathed.
Instead, the yellow sand behind him was stirred up by the fist wind and splashed everywhere.
"Huh?" Ole made a confused voice.
His punch just now had clearly used 100% of his strength, and he was confident that it could break a titanium-manganese steel ball. However, the fat man in front of him seemed to be unscathed.
Oler's fists were swinging wildly, and fist shadows appeared in the air. Pi Pang stood on the spot, neither moving nor fighting back, motionless as a mountain.
In the contestants' auditorium, a dozen cute girls from the "Lalata Star" who had just left the stage were watching the game with gusto.
They held various snacks in their hands, tasting them while watching the battle attentively.
The performance of these cute girls showed that they had just experienced a fierce exhibition match.
"I like soft fat guys, I really want to poke them."
A cute girl spoke, chewing some kind of potato chip-like snack in her mouth.
"I also think that if he wins later, we will tease him."
"You won't be beaten."
"No, let's act cute first and see his reaction, and then 'take action' later."
"Good idea."
These dozen cute girls were sitting on seats more than ten meters away from Lin Yi, and there seemed to be something 'strange' mixed in among them. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Boob Wang!
Xiao Xue is hanging around Bu Bu Wang's neck at the moment, secretly eating the cute girls' snacks.
Those cute girls didn't seem to have discovered Xiaoxue, the snack thief, and were still happily chatting with each other. Occasionally, they would blame each other for finding that there were less snacks. The scene was quite interesting.
Today I went to a different hospital and had the doctor check me again, but the result was the same. My uncle is on his way home now. He doesn't want to spend all his money on having tubes inserted all over his body in the hospital, and is ready to go home and live a more comfortable life. Everyone should also pay more attention to their health. The elderly at home should have regular physical examinations every year, and any illnesses should be treated promptly. After some time, I went to the temple to pay my respects. It was a bit ironic that I was an atheist when I was a child, but I believed this when I grew up.
