Chapter 13: The Wind Rises at Dusk

That's why a month later, the group accompanied Mike to the "Palace Under the Sea". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Undersea Palace is a multi-functional hall that integrates the red light district, money village, fighting ground, auction house and pawnshop. It is located in the famous Ginassus Trench on the Star of Eden, a full 7,000 meters above sea level. Although it is a royal palace, it is dimly lit and dark, and the whole area is pitch black, and only where it is very necessary to use blood-colored lights to make out the outlines of the stairs and corridors, and the bright gold lettering signs. The guild hall at the bottom of the sea has the feeling of an imperial mausoleum.

As usual, Xiaole was on the morning shift and was on standby at the welcome seat of the Underwater Palace at twelve o'clock in the afternoon. He straightened his hairstyle, poked the dimples off his face, and pulled out a standard smile.

Blessed by the god of the sea, no one finds fault, no one finds fault, no one finds fault...... Say important things three times...... Xiaole meditated and ushered in the first guests.

I was lucky today, the oncoming guests looked like tourists, and the fresh ones didn't look like they would appear in the underwater palace, and two of them were still temperamental beauties! Maybe it's a lady on the road who came out to have a good time, right? Such a woman can't be provoked by a thousand dragon Xiaole...... Xiaole stepped forward and smiled politely with a bit of respect.

"Dear guests, welcome to the Palace of the Undersea King! Do you want to go to the auction house, or are you ready to watch the exciting fighting matches? ”

The black-haired beauty in the front row gently shook her boyfriend's arm and looked sideways at him.

"Ahem, go to the fighting ring, the entrance to the competition." The young man spoke.

Entering? Who of these four is going to compete? It doesn't look like it...... Xiaole was very confused in his heart, and the smile on his face was still dedicated and did not fall in the slightest.

"Okay, this way, please." While peeking at the customer's face, he beckoned someone to lead the way, and gestured to the colleague who led the way behind his back, meaning that there was something strange and let him serve a snack.

A man and a woman in the front row were not threatening, the girl was as pure as a fawn, and the young man who spoke was obviously weak, and even Xiao Le, who looked at the door, could see that he was tender. However, the two people in the back row must strengthen their precautions, especially the man, on such an occasion as the Underwater Palace, he is relaxed as if he is in his own home.

Just when the man was about to pass by Xiaole, he suddenly leaned into Xiaole's ear and said, "Don't worry, I won't end today." ”

Xiaole froze, and he couldn't even pronounce it.

The guest was amused by Xiaole's reaction, and patted Xiaole on the shoulder before following the other guests in front.

After the man left, Xiaole realized that in just one sentence, he actually sweated on his hands. Just now, the man's eyes circled around Xiao Le's neck, and the sharp murderous aura made Xiao Le feel that he was already a dead man.

Who is he? After thinking about it for a long time, Xiaole still sent a letter to the manager's office.

――

The Palace of the Undersea King, the Governor's Office.

"What's the matter? …… Well, got it. ”

Saria, from the manager's room, turned off the communicator and clicked on the video projection from the welcome team just now. A familiar figure caught Saliya's eye.

Hehe, it turned out to be him...... The current little brother is really not smart, this kind of person is obviously on the road, and he dares to gesture under his nose, and people are in a good mood today to let you go...... I heard that I won't play today? So what did he bring a few people to do? Surprised?

Saizeriya directed the scene of the arena to the highlight screen of the day, and easily dialed the communication channel of the arena.

“…… Well, don't scold me for not reminding you, the God of Wealth is here today...... Oh, you've seen them...... yes, hehe......"

――

It's been a long time, the underwater palace fighting arena. Liang Ce shouted from the bottom of his heart.

The rules here are based on admitting defeat/death as a condition for the end of the ring, and there are no restrictions on other weapons except machine guns or energy-level weapons - the primitive hand-to-hand combat Colosseum close to the age of cold weapons. When he first settled in the Nancy system, the fighting arena was his main source of living expenses. Previously, he had been standing in the ring, but now he was sitting in the coaching area around the ring. Liang Ce secretly thought about it and thought it was a little funny.

Next to him was Gloria intently typing the code on the optical brain she was carrying, and Eric, the mechanical dog, obediently lying at her feet.

On the other side, Zhu Shanshan closed her eyes and meditated, but she couldn't actually enter the meditation state at all.

"Only outlaws will come to this ring, there is no need to be merciful to them, if they meet, they will be abolished." This is Liang Ce's actual combat requirement for Mike. When he said this, Liang Ce looked at Zhu Shanshan with heavy eyes, as if he knew that she wanted to open his mouth to refute.

Facing an unknown opponent, she has reached her limit. Even if the other party is a heinous person, Mike is still not qualified to judge...... It's enough just to get the other side to surrender, isn't it?

Zhu Shanshan complained in her heart, but she did not say anything against it. After all, she is not familiar with the rules here, and she can adapt and survive by following the local customs.

In addition, the fighting arena is life and death, and as a tool for Mike's actual combat, the risk is too high.

Just when Zhu Shanshan was entangled, it was Mike's turn to play.

"What opponent?" Liang Ce asked.

Eric stood up, his red eyes turning green, and projected Liang Ce's details of his opponent Ferming.

"It's not difficult." Gloria took one look and came to a conclusion.

Liang Ce smiled and didn't answer.

――

The man in front of him was very tall, definitely more than 2m, his muscles were bulging, his phalanges and knees were obviously protruding, and as for the weapon, it was a blue ice crystal stick, and the armor was only the gloves he wore on both hands.

Mike's mind raced. Strength opponents, looking at the opponent's appearance, you can know that the ability to resist blows is good. The bulge must be reinforced with alloy or even ceramic alloy, and it is necessary to pay attention to the opponent's knee top and boxing. Ice crystals are not rare, but they are rare on this scale. The effect of ice crystals is to cool quickly, and the consequences of contact with flesh are estimated to be similar to frozen chicken wings. The weight of the Ice Crystal Stick is unknown, and in addition to the cooling effect, the kinetic energy of the swing is also considerable. Gloves must be used to prevent direct contact with ice crystals. If you want to successfully defeat or kill, choosing to consume physical energy will be more stable, the probability of death is low, but the success rate is not high, the risk of choosing close detonation is very high, and the success rate is unknown. Therefore, before getting close, it is necessary to have sufficient data to know its weak points, as well as its behavior habits and the use of ice crystal sticks.

At a glance, Mike had already worked out the battle idea and the key difficulties in his mind.

This is the result of Mike's special training program for more than a month: overall perception, systematic observation in modules, and rapid conclusions and ideas.

"Look at the opponent as a whole, don't just focus on the opponent's weapons. It is a machine, and all the system parameters of the machine should have a preliminary estimate. Valuation requires experience, but this overall law of observation and analysis does not require a high IQ. ”

Mike was most impressed by this sentence. On the flip side, the more parameters are exposed, the easier it is for the opponent to find a way to defeat them. Mike also approached Gloria to equip a series of weapons for this purpose.

At the beginning of the fight, I saw that the iron chain fence on the side of the ring was electrified, and the current gradually increased, and this special iron chain began to burst out with terrifying electric sparks, just between the blue sparks, the blue arc of the road quickly walked outside the iron chain, and the iron chain fence was expanded into an arc fence, and the area of the ring shrank and decreased by nearly 1/3 of the place. And the arc fence is still expanding, and there is a tendency to swallow up the contestants in the ring. The judge jumped onto the watcher above the center of the ring, raised his hand, and announced the start of the fight.

In the ring, Mike and the two looked at each other for a moment, and launched an offensive at the same time. Fermin yelled and rushed towards Mike, ice crystal stick in his right hand. Mike half-crouched in place and waited for Ferming to arrive, his hands touching his thighs.

It is definitely not wise to face a power-type enemy head-on, Mike took out ten missiles from the dark compartment of his pants in advance, and raised his hand to reward Ferming with half of them.

This kind of small toy also dares to be used to offer ugliness? Fermin was thinking about it when he saw the missile explode in front of him, bursting out of gray-black smoke.

Smoke grenades? Fair, blind, slammed his memory into Mike's location.

All he heard was a whoosh, and something flew over his head. Fermin had to roll over and dodge. Since there are smoke grenades, that is, chemical munitions in the hands of the other side, who knows what else will be? Coupled with the fact that he couldn't see things, he still avoided them first.

After rushing out of the smoke, Fermin froze. The gray-black smoke showed no sign of dissipating.

…… It seems that a new type of chemical weapon has been encountered. Fermin muttered in wonder.

At this moment, a lot of missiles were shot out of the gray-black smoke, heading in all directions of the ring. What stunned everyone was that all the missiles exploded one after another, forming solidified smoke of various colors similar to the gray-black smoke just now. The whole ring was instantly colorful and very showy. Mike's calculations are so accurate that there are almost no gaps between the different colors of smoke. In today's ring, only the small place where Fermin stood was not covered in smoke.

“…… What the hell is it, you give labor and management out! What does that mean? Fermin yelled.

"Ahem...... The fog is a little thicker, and I can't help it, why don't you come in and feel it? Mike's voice rang out in the smoke.

“…… Do you think the labor-management will be fooled? ”

"Hehe," Mike chuckled, "you have to come in if you don't come in, don't you see the ring getting smaller?" Or do you not dare? ”

"Labor and management have killed you!" Fermin gritted his teeth and rushed in the direction of Mike's voice.

"Bang bang", Mike applauded, "Warrior! I'm here."

The image on the large light curtain in the ring area that was originally filled with smoke was manually switched to another interface. Under the green lens of infrared night vision, Mike can be clearly seen standing in the corner of the ring, raising his hand and rewarding Ferming with a few missiles. The light curtain was instantly covered in a green to white shadow, followed by a violent explosion and Fermin's screams.

I saw that the smoke in the ring had dissipated, leaving only Fermin lying on the edge of the ring, the blue electricity was swimming on his body and refused to leave, the air was filled with the smell of barbecue, his clothes and armor were all turned into ashes, and the ice crystal stick was shattered into ice slag. No matter how strong the flesh was, the close-range explosion was thrown into the high-voltage current, and Ferming had no chance of surviving. Mike, on the other hand, easily tosses colorful missiles.

The explosion that occurred in this fight is obvious to all, how can it be considered a non-energy level? Based on this, the judges did not immediately declare Mike victorious. Several heavily armed white-clothed biochemical armor personnel entered the ring, and the audience couldn't help but whisper.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our undersea palace immediately arranged for laboratory personnel to conduct on-site analysis. The following time will be handed over to the leader of the laboratory team. ”

The efficiency of the laboratory team is very high, and the results are almost out as soon as the analytical sample is sent to the instrument.

"The results of the analysis showed that none of the components of the material left on site could react with each other outside the laboratory. Complete. ”

“…… Ahem, what does it mean to be unresponsive? ”

"It's just that the conditions are not enough to cause an explosion."

"I'm sure everyone has heard the results of the report of the official laboratory team leader very clearly. Then I now declare that Mike Miller is the winner of this fight. ”

――

"You know what? There is a challenger in the fighting arena who can't tell what the weapon is! ”

"Why? So how did his opponents lose? Dead? ”

"Most of them are dead, I heard they were all blown up!"

"Huh? Blown up? How can it be? Where did the explosives come from? ”

"Anyway, I've won eight games, and I'm going to challenge the Wind Girl at any time!"

"Hahaha! I haven't seen her in a while! Who are you pressing? ”

"I'm optimistic about Diana, this bomb kid is going to kick the iron plate!"

The news that someone in the arena was going to attack the Lord like wings, and it quickly spread to all corners of the Underwater Palace and Aiden. Idle gangsters, thrill-seeking bigwigs, and even a few powerful people from Hanks Star Aiden have heard about it. After the last champion set the date of the challenge, the underwater palace ushered in a wave of spectators. On Aiden, which advocates the supremacy of strength and black and white, the almost unlimited fighting arena, combined with the actual backstage of the underwater palace, is actually very clear to everyone.
