Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Sky Arena
The fourth tallest building in the world, the Sky Arena, stands at 991 meters tall and is a landmark that you can see from the airport. More than a billion spectators from all over the world are there every year, and more than four thousand challengers queue up at the registration desk every day to register.
Luxi got off the airport and drove to the location of the Sky Arena in the city center, he looked at the long queue outside the window, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This kind of scene is really nostalgic." ”
The driver was a young girl in Sky Arena overalls, and as he drove, he reported to Lucy about the time period: "It's been four months since you left, and just a month ago, the Drinker managed to win ten victories and challenged you. ”
"That's what I'm here for, I'm going to take the hunter exam in January next year, so let's get it done before then." Lucy looked at the information provided by the girl for him, which was painted with a portrait of a burly and tall man, and said playfully: "Time flies so fast, I didn't expect that he would already win ten games, and I originally thought that he would challenge me next year." ”
"I don't know where I trained during this time, and I became a big hitter." The girl sighed: "But with you on the two hundred and twenty floors, he is doomed to be useless." ”
Lucy couldn't help laughing: "Listening to your words, I'm like a cancer, specializing in being a goalkeeper on the two hundred and twentieth floor?" ”
The girl sighed helplessly: "What do you say? How long has it been since you became the owner of the two hundred and twenty floors that the arena has had a new owner? They can't skip you to challenge those landlords who are higher than you, but their strength is far inferior to yours, the council has a lot of opinions on this, and has held more than a dozen meetings to formulate countermeasures for your situation, but unfortunately there is no good solution until now. ”
"If that's what you say," Lucy said disapprerovingly, "I'll have fun for the last time, and then I'll apply to challenge the landlord of the higher floors, and I'm tired of staying on the two hundred and twentieth floors." ”
"Are you serious?" Hearing this, the girl stepped on the brakes, turned her head and asked in surprise, and after seeing that the look on Lucy's face did not seem to be fake, she couldn't help but cheer: "Hooray!" My mission is finally complete! ”
Lucy looked at her with a smile and didn't speak, and the girl changed the topic abruptly: "So, which floor owner are you going to challenge, you guy is really strange, obviously you have the strength of more than two hundred and forty floors, I really don't understand why you want to stay on the two hundred and twenty floors......"
"Haha, then I'll challenge the two hundred and forty floors, anyway, the landlords don't need to come layer by layer." Lucy said casually as he flipped through the other materials.
"Say......" Lucie's fingers went down one after another, until he stopped at a woman with a bandage on the right half of her body, and asked seemingly casually:
"That guy, are you still on the two hundred and fifty floor?"
---------------------------
Fighters who have been promoted to the 100th floor in the Sky Arena will have their own private rooms and will be treated better, while the landlords above the 220th floor will live in more luxurious places, almost like private castles.
After arriving at the arena, let the girl leave, and Lucy took the elevator up by himself.
The elevator slowly rose, bored, he inexplicably gave birth to a bad taste, wanted to see if there were any newcomers promoted to the 200th floor, and was made difficult by the veterans who stayed on the 200th floor, so he stopped on the 200th floor.
I just saw a young man with long hair and a shawl, about the same age as him, walking out of the elevator on the other side.
The long-haired boy has silver hair, a delicate face, and a face full of fighting spirit. He and Lucy looked at each other, nodded politely, and walked down the hallway on the two hundredth floor.
Lucy looked at him playfully, he didn't feel the slightest breath of thought from the long-haired boy, and simply leaned against the wall to watch a good show. At this time, a female staff member wearing thick smoky makeup also walked out of the elevator and recognized Lucy at a glance:
"You're back?"
"Yo, it's in the tree, long time no see." Lucy greeted her with ease, and then pointed at the young man: "I haven't seen him before, is he a newcomer?" ”
The female staff member named Shuri took off the work cap on her head and shook it as a fan: "Well, he was just promoted to the two hundred floors today, and every fight before that was a knockout of the opponent, a very potential newcomer." ”
"Yes." Lucy watched the young man stop at the passage, and smiled noncommittally: "But I can't read it, no matter how much potential he has, he will stop here, and after tonight, he won't even be able to report his name." ”
"Ahh It's all your fault, I forgot to remind him! As if he suddenly remembered something, Shuli waved his hand at Lu Xi and trotted all the way behind the young man: "Mr. Hua Shi Doulang, the registration office is over there, please complete the registration of the two hundred floors before today!" ”
"It should be noted that if it is past twelve o'clock tonight, you will not be able to register!"
Huashi Doulang?
Lucy couldn't help but tilt his head, isn't this the person who was killed by Hisoka later, obviously he was a strengthening system but went on a fork in the road, forcibly cultivating the embodiment system and the operation system, and wasting his own talent.
In the end, there is still no guidance from a famous teacher, and he is groping his way forward on the road of reading alone, but even if he takes the wrong path, he can cut off Xisoo's arm with the "tiger bite fist", which is not bad in terms of physical skills alone.
I didn't expect to bump into him when he first went to the two hundred floors and hadn't learned to read yet. Lucy became more and more interested, staring at Hua Shi Doulang to see how he could break through this layer.
Hua Shi Doulang's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and his body was trembling slightly. He asked in a whisper in the tree, "...... in there?" What's the matter? ”
"I can't answer that, either you find a way to get in yourself, or you give up the registration and come back next year." Shuli said with a smile, obviously she and Hua Shi Doulang were standing in the same position, but they didn't seem to be affected at all, and they looked calm.
No way...... Can't go any further, can't go any further!
Hua Shi Doulang only felt that his legs were as heavy as being filled with lead, and it was clear that the passage was empty, but it was like a forest full of demons, which not only made his body tremble uncontrollably, but also brought him endless psychological pressure.
He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes fixed on the ominous passage ahead.
How could it be, how could it stop here!
Ignoring the sharp beating of his heart, Hua Shi Doulang gritted his teeth and moved his steps, his brain was now blank, and the sounds, images, and smells were all gone, leaving only a small dot in front of him.
One step, two steps......
These two steps had already used up all his strength, and just as his heart was about to beat faster than the upper limit of his body, a voice sounded, bringing him back to reality, and at the same time, the unbearable strange feeling disappeared without a trace.
"That's pretty much it."
Lucy appeared beside him at some point, knocked on the wall at random, and warned the dozen or so "veterans" lurking in the passage.
After a moment of silence, the two hundred layers of fighters who took pleasure in making things difficult for newcomers recognized Lucy and dispersed like crows.
Hua Shi Doulang looked at Lucy blankly, a teenager of the same age who he thought was also a newcomer before.
"Your eyes are very good." Lucy gave him a gentle smile and pointed to the hallway.
"If you want to go in, come with me, I can get you to finish the report by twelve o'clock tonight."
