Chapter 42: The Little Boy's Request
It took a long time for the three of them to come back to their senses.
They walked out of the corridor. The huge scene really shocked them.
It's a huge ring-shaped venue. Around the circle is a circular corridor that spirals upward, and the ring corridor is covered with leather chairs, and in the middle of the ring corridor is an open space.
At this time, the corridor was full. The gentle aristocratic gentlemen, the virtuous and dignified aristocratic ladies and the glamorous women with heavy makeup were all screaming desperately, they were waving their arms wildly, and their eyes were red as they looked at the two sides who were fighting for their lives in the open space. The whole venue is mixed with the scent of men's and women's fragrances. They stimulated everyone present, occasionally sitting down to take a sip or two of water, and spending more time on their feet. Their appearance at this time is really not related to the word nobility except for their clothing, and their focused eyes when they look at the arena are like gamblers who have bet all their family property.
On the zenith are four-sided electronic scoreboards facing all sides. The scoreboard is constantly flashing with red numbers, and the green Mero text is the names of the two sides that will play on the spot and the names of the two sides who will play on the field.
On the side of the scoreboard are large searchlights, and giant columns of light sweep back and forth through all the stands, occasionally overlapping and sweeping, making them even brighter.
"This ......" Mo Xiaosheng's eyes were glazed open at this time, "This is the so-called celebrity appearance?" ”
This was so different from the gestures of the famous nobles in the Triumphal Hall that night that this boy who had not had much contact with high society became sluggish and confused for a while, and his mind was full of doubts.
"Have you ever gambled?" Bart amusedly put a hand on Mo Xiaosheng's shoulder. It looks like a close friend who has known Mo Xiaoshu for many years.
"Never. My family has always been very poor, and I have to work hard to get food and clothing. "Mo Xiaoshu is not defensive at all, to tell the truth.
"So you don't understand them," said Barth, "they're all people of exceedingly wealthy families. Money is more like a string of meaningless numbers to them. Before they could spend a tenth of their estate, two-tenths or three-tenths poured into their bank accounts. Their money can't be spent. They have quality successors and housekeepers as well as beautiful and capable secretaries. All of them are hands-off shopkeepers. They all have a very strange disease because they have money. ”
"What disease?" Mo Xiaoshu asked subconsciously.
"When they wake up from a night's sleep, they don't dare to check their phones. Because there are hundreds of mobile phones, the astronomical number for ordinary people is constantly rising. They are worried, there is too much money, how can they spend it, how to spend it, how can they squander this countless amount of money. The purpose is just to give them a little peace of mind, just so that their expenses can catch up with their income as much as possible. Bart said with a colorful voice.
"It's enviable." For a child born poor, such a huge temptation, he really couldn't resist it.
"Do you want to have an endless amount of wealth?" Bart patted Mo Xiaoshuang's shoulder.
"Yes!" Mo Xiaoshu blurted out without thinking about it.
"See?" Bart suddenly reached out and pointed to a hole in the side wall of the central clearing.
"What?" Mo Xiaosheng didn't understand too much.
"See the door?" Bart said.
"Look."
"All you have to do is destroy all the enemies that come out of it. Then your wish can come true. Bart smiled.
"It's going to be hard." Mo Xiaoshu bit his lower lip with some hesitation.
"High risk, high reward. There is no such thing as a free lunch. If you don't even have this awareness, then I can only say that I misread you. Bart shook his head slightly in disappointment.
"I'm going to give it a try." The unimaginable wealth has made Mo Xiaosheng dizzy, and he has slowly entered the real and illusory world that Bart has built for him.
"He is a brave warrior." Bart patted Mo Xiaoju's shoulder affirmatively.
"I'm going to try it too!" Wise on one side suddenly interjected.
"Of course there is no problem!" Bart nodded without hesitation.
"When are we going to play." Both Wise and Mo Xiaoxian's faces had immature and eager expressions.
"He'll take you to the prep room over there. Warm up. I will wait for your good news! Bart beckoned to the waiter at the end not far away.
Subsequently, Mo Xiaosheng and Mingzhi were taken by the waiter to the preparation room not far away.
Seeing the wooden door of the preparation room close, Bart had an unconcealed smile on his face, and he turned to look at Salo, "It's been my honor to meet you. These few little fresh meats are enough for this group of nobles to enjoy themselves. You're good. ”
"Thank you for the compliment, thank you for the compliment, this is what the villain should do." Salo, who had been standing behind him, hurriedly laughed and bowed.
"Very nice, very nice. It's your pay. 5,000 U.S. dollars, and the password is six zeros. Need me to pick up a laptop and check your balance? Bart laughed and took out a delicate bank card issued by the O'Saint Court Bank from his coat pocket and shook it in front of Salo.
"If you say something big, a villain can definitely trust it." Salo hurriedly shook his head.
"Then I won't send it. Feel free to continue to send some fresh meat? Bart took the initiative to shove the bank card into Salo's shabby pocket.
"That's nature, that's nature." Salo couldn't be happier. That's 5,000 yuan, and I only have an income of 100 yuan a year. Fifty years of income, that's astronomical.
"It's time to throw away such rustic clothes. A good change of classy clothes. Five thousand yuan is enough for you to get a beautiful civilian wife. Bart laughed.
"Borrow the auspicious words of the adults." Salo laughed.
"Alright. Know you're ecstatic right now. Then I won't keep you. I wish you an early birth to a precious son. Bart said.
"Thank you, sir. Then I'll take my leave. Salo bowed.
Ba nodded, and Salo turned and left along the same path he had come.
Poor Mo Xiaoxiao and Wise still didn't know that they had been exchanged for five thousand meros by this good-looking Mr. Salo for a few worthless grilled fish.
"This is the preparation room. Prepare well, I'll give your names to the people on the other side of the system, and you'll hear the broadcast in the near future. The waiter stopped in front of the wooden door.
"Thank you, for your hard work." Mo Xiaoshu replied politely.
The waiter was a little surprised. In the past, the children who came to participate in the competition were not polite at all, and their minds were full of money. Every time, when they were carried on stretchers, they saw expressions of regret on their faces.
"Actually, you're going to die. I advise you to go back. How many children like you, who are pregnant with championships and make a lot of money, end up dying on the field, and many others are carried on stretchers and confined to beds or wheelchairs for the rest of their lives. A champion like Kushahan is definitely the only one in history. The waiter couldn't help but persuade.
"We know. High risk, high reward. We get it. Mo Xiaoshu nodded.
"In that case, I don't want to say anything more. I can only wish you success. Oh yes. My name is Mal, and these two glasses of wine are a blessing to you. Marl stretched the flat-ended plate forward.
In addition to some empty glasses, there were two half-full glasses of red wine on the plate. Originally, these wines were used to serve the high nobility.
Mo Xiaosheng and Mingzhi each took a cup, raised their heads and drank it all, "Thank you!" ”
Saying goodbye to Marl, Mo Xiaosheng and Zhizhi pushed open the wooden door and walked in.
It's a simple room with a concrete floor and messy bench shelves scattered around. The benches were filled with children preparing to play and shelves full of clothes. The roof is rudimentary rows of bark logs, some of which have fallen to the ground mottled to the ground, revealing dust-stained interiors. There is a rotating fan on the wall not far away for ventilation, otherwise it would have been dusty.
"You ...... Good. Wise, who has always been unable to keep his mouth shut, can't help but tie his tongue when he is watched by a group of children of the same age.
In front of him was a group of boys who were on time. The boys sat on the benches and looked up at them like a pack of little beasts about to stick out their claws.
"Are you here to win the championship?" A little boy with a dirty face jumped out of a long wooden chair and walked over in his worn-out sandals. He looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, and he was also short, and he looked up at Mo Xiaoxiao and Wise as he spoke. But there was not a bit of timidity.
"Why don't you come here to die?" Wise hummed. There was not the slightest politeness in the tone.
"Hahaha......" The little boys around laughed when they heard it.
"Laughing at what?" Mo Xiaosheng asked suspiciously.
"You want to win the championship?" The little boy in front of them looked disdainful, then stretched out his skinny arm and his middle finger upward. It's arrogant.
"You ......" Zhizhi suddenly became anxious when he saw this provocative gesture, and was about to reach forward and beat the child.
It's just that Mo Xiaosheng reached out in time to stop Mingming, "Save some physical strength for the competition." ”
"You look like friends." At this time, a little boy who had been sitting on a bench without speaking raised his head, he was very quiet, and his eyes were clear and transparent. Sitting with the other children, he was quiet and stood out from the crowd.
"Very good friend." Wise put his arms around Mo Xiaoju's neck and bared his teeth and smiled.
"Then why are you here? There is only one champion. The little boy asked, puzzled.
"I'm just testing the water. I'm betting all my money on my brother. Who do you think my little body can beat? Wise laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Try the water? There is no throwing in the towel here. The one who is killed loses. It's not a regular game, it's a meat grinder. The little boy had no expression on his face. It's hard to see what he's thinking at this moment.
"If I can't beat them, the brother will save me. If it's clear that I'm not even able to fight back against the opponent, he'll come to my rescue. Wise glanced at Mo Xiaoxiao with a smile on his face.
"Are you sure your friend can win?" The little boy showed surprise on his face, "If you don't have the ability, your friend will be sent to death if he saves the scene in advance." ”
"We have a secret weapon. We're here to win. Wise nodded confidently.
"May I have a request, even though we've never known each other, and it's a little abrupt." The little boy suddenly spoke in surprise. It's a bit surprising to make a request to a stranger you've never met before.
Together with the little boys around him, their eyes widened and their faces were puzzled.
"Tell me about it." Mo Xiaoshu nodded directly.
"If you win, I want you to lend me some money, my mother is seriously ill, and if you don't see a doctor, she will die. My mom is kind and hardworking, the greatest mom in the world, and she doesn't deserve to die. You don't look like the bad guys. I think I can trust you. Please, okay? I hope you guys win. As he spoke, the little boy's immature tone was filled with a pitiful pleading.
"I also have one condition," Mo Xiaoshu hesitated and nodded, "If you can promise me, I will also promise you." ”
"You say, I promise you." The little boy was suddenly ecstatic and nodded without thinking. He didn't know why, although he didn't know the person standing in front of him, he felt that the one standing in front of him was the champion. That's a kind of trust that doesn't give any reason.
"You give up the game," Mo Xiaosheng said solemnly, "I believe that if your mother gets better, she definitely doesn't want her son to be a disabled person lying in bed with a broken arm and leg." ”
"No problem, I promise you." The little boy suddenly stopped smiling, his face became serious, and he nodded solemnly in agreement.
