Chapter 15: Confronting Cause and Effect
It's been a month and a half since the last time I accepted the mission.
And from Lu Yu's current taskbar.
Personal Side: Bottleneck (Max Difficulty)
Although it is the most difficult task, although the first one is a little more dangerous, it still makes the host go shit luck and is about to complete the task. Although the task seems to be completed, I believe that the most difficult task is not easy to complete.
Objective: Participate in five gladiatorial arena battles (4/5)
Reward: Unknown
Punishment: I believe you don't need systematic punishment after losing in the arena
Time limit: 2 months (13 days countdown)
As introduced in the mission system, Lu Yu has participated in three battles in the past nearly a month.
And from the fact that Lu Yu has already participated in three battles, you can see the result of Lu Yu's second battle.
These three battles were obviously different from the first battle that Lu Yu participated in. There was no need for Lu Yu to fight to the death like the first battle. Because Lu Yu had already reached the second order, although there was a lot of gap between the attributes and the third order, Lu Yu still won the opponent of the same rank prepared by Marcas for Lu Yu quite easily.
And in these few battles, Lu Yu also found that his fighting style had changed dramatically.
At the beginning, Roger introduced Lu Yu to Lu Yu's suitable combat methods at that time, so Lu Yu practiced the fighting method of sword and shield, and his fighting style was also to carefully defend the opponent and then look for an opportunity to kill the opponent with one blow. And after the battle with the madman Wendell this time, Lu Yu's began to practice the fighting method of the giant sword, and the fighting style has changed from the previous cautious to the current crazy and bloody fighting style. Abandon your own defenses and replace your defenses with frantic attacks.
When someone is afraid of Lu Yu's giant sword, it is when he perishes. And this is the case with the opponents that Marcus has prepared for Lu Yu.
When they heard the name of the blood madness, it meant that they had heard the madness of Lu Yu's battle, and when they faced Lu Yu's crazy attack without thinking about defense. They hesitated, and the moment they hesitated, it was also the moment they died.
And because Lu Yu gave up his own defense, his attack was very powerful, and Lu Yu's weapon was a giant sword, so the sharp attack meant that every time he attacked the opponent's body, it was bloody.
And when the audience saw Lu Yu's crazy fighting style, the audience's cheers became higher and higher.
When Lu Yu broke through his opponent's defense, the cheers of the audience seemed to overturn the entire gladiatorial arena. Because they knew they were going to see what they had been waiting for for a long time.
And when the sharp giant sword slashed at the opponent, the instant bloodshed made the audience cheer.
And as Lu Yu fought again and again, Lu Yu's popularity became more and more high.
Lu Yu's appearance fee has also increased again and again. First the first fifty gold coins, then the second round of one hundred gold coins, and then the third game of two hundred gold coins.
At first, Lu Yu also thought that it was too much to give two hundred gold coins for an appearance fee. But when Roger told Lu Yu that there could be at least 100,000 people in the gladiatorial arena, and each person asked for an entrance fee of one silver coin. And that's not even counting the rental of those VIP rooms. There is also the market opened by Marcas.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu suddenly felt that he had taken less. But although Lu Yu thought that he had got less, Lu Yu was not dissatisfied, at most he was a little jealous, and then quickly forgot about it.
Although others make a lot of money, others have strong capital, others have gladiatorial arenas, and there are strong capital to open gambling plates. But you don't have anything, and you can't expect others to make money for you with their own capital. Although the appearance fee and Marcus are just a drizzle. But why should others give you so much! Although the gladiatorial arena is popular because of you, without your presence, the gladiatorial arena is also making money! It's just a matter of how much.
And when Lu Yu knew that Marcus made a lot of money, Lu Yu was not at all polite to the appearance fee given by Marcus.
And in just three battles, Lu Yu earned three hundred and fifty gold coins, thinking of three and a half million in modern society. Thinking of this, Lu Yu was about to wake up laughing at night.
There is no way, Lu Yu has never been exposed to much money in this life and in his previous life, not to mention that this money is not only his own, but also all earned by himself. The sense of accomplishment is obviously different.
Yesterday, Marcus asked York to find Lu Yu. I hope that Lu Yu will come to the gladiatorial arena tomorrow to discuss Lu Yu's next battle with Lu Yu.
And Lu Yu was also very curious, in the previous battles, Marcas had not discussed with Lu Yu, but this time he deliberately discussed with Lu Yu. This made Lu Yu very strange.
Although with a strange heart. But Lu Yu still walked to the gladiatorial arena.
And on the way to the gladiatorial arena, Lu Yu was also looking at his attributes.

With the end of the three battles, Lu Yu was only at the second and fourth levels. However, Lu Yu also has an additional title attribute in the attribute page, and the only title he has now is Blood Maniac. And the content in parentheses after Bloodmadness represents the area where the title is useful. Within the parentheses is Riverside City, which means that this title can only be used in Riverside City. When you go to another city, you tell people that you are a blood maniac, and it is good not to treat you as a psychopath.
When Lu Yu arrived in front of the gladiatorial arena, York had already been waiting at the door for a long time.
With York's leadership, Lu Yu came to Marcas's office.
Lu Yu walked into the room and saw that Marcus was still sitting on the chair behind the huge desk as if they had met for the first time on the spot, when he saw Lu Yu's arrival. A smile appeared on Maccaston's face.
"Haha, look who this is, isn't this my good friend Mr. Bloodmaniac."
Marcus smiled as he opened his arms and hugged Lu Yu.
And although Lu Yu wanted to dodge, he didn't dodge in the end.
Although after being hugged, I suddenly felt as if I was being hugged by a piece of fat meat, and I felt disgusting. But Lu Yu still endured his disgust and didn't dodge.
European-style etiquette really doesn't make people like it! Fortunately, he didn't have a veneer gift, otherwise Lu Yu would definitely have to turn his face on the spot.
As a normal man, being veneered by a man is really under Lu Yu's psychological bottom line. Of course, if it's a woman, of course it doesn't matter if Lu Yu sticks it for as long as he wants, Lu Yu will meet this little request.
"I heard that you came to me this time to discuss the next battle."
"Yes, my friend, this time because of the recommendation of many viewers. So I'm going to arrange a battle of the most famous gladiators in Riverflow right now, and your opponent, I've already contacted him, and he's agreed. So I'm going to ask if you'd like to. ”
"Oh! One of Riverwater's most famous gladiator battles right now, if my guess is right, my opponent should be the jackal, right? ”
"Yes, bloodmaniac, your opponent this time is a jackal. Don't know if you're ready to attend? You know, unlike your previous opponents, both of you are geniuses at fighting. So this battle will definitely not be easy. I know this battle is not easy, so I'll give you 500 gold coins for this appearance fee, what do you think! ”
Lu Yu just wanted to say something, but as if he thought of something, his face immediately turned like he had stepped on shit, and he forced a smile.
"Hehe, since someone suggested it, you are ready. Then why don't I participate in that! ”
"What, blood madness, do you agree to take part in the fight!"
"Of course, if I hold back now, maybe I'll regret it later! Besides, the previous battles didn't let me fight properly! Now that I have a chance, why should I run away? ”
"Then it's decided, just three days later, there will be a battle of the most famous gladiators in Riverflow City."
"In three days, I'll show up on time."
After Lu Yu and Marcus confirmed the time, Lu Yu smiled and said goodbye to Marcas and walked out of the room.
After Lu Yu walked out of the room, Lu Yu's smiling face suddenly stepped down. A look of wanting to cry without tears.
Lu Yu suddenly felt like he was constantly being mended.
"System, do you want to kill me! Can you still have fun if you continue like this? ”
It turned out that Lu Yu heard about the plan of the most famous gladiator battle in Marcus's Riverflow City, and he originally wanted to refuse. But the moment I wanted to refuse, the system of the pit host reappeared.
"It is advisable for the host to participate in the battle, if the host does not participate in the battle, there is a possibility that something unpredictable will happen. From the host's first battle to this battle with the jackal, all the battles are taken together, which is exactly the highest difficulty of the mission that the host can accept in its current state. ”
"In other words, if I don't participate in the competition this time, is it possible that the opponent I will encounter next time will also be as difficult as the jackal?"
"Yes, host, since the mission system is born from host cause and effect, the five battles after the start of the mission are exactly the manifestation of the difficulty of the mission. Since it is the most difficult task, the system also calculates the cause and effect of the host accurately. So it is recommended that the host participate in the battle. ”
"No matter how I try to escape, once the difficulty of the task is determined, the content of the task will be directly proportional to the difficulty of the task. There is no room for flexibility, because this is calculated from the cause and effect of me. Is that right. ”
"Yes, the host, no matter how the host escapes, the cause and effect that should happen will always happen, and when the host accepts the task, because it has already been planted, the host can only face the fruit that is planted."
Hearing the system's explanation, Lu Yu completely withered. I can only pretend to accept the arrangement of this battle freely.
When Lu Yu was about to walk out of the gladiatorial arena, Lu Yu felt the killing intent from the dark corner near the door.
When Lu Yu took a defensive stance, a person faintly appeared from the shadows in the corner.
"I can't wait to fight you. Hopefully it's a battle I'll be happy with. ”
After the jackal finished speaking to Lu Yu, he disappeared again in the shadows in the corner. Only the crazy sneer of the jackal was left at the scene.
"yes, I wish it was a fun fight!"
After being hit by the system again, it encountered the declaration of war by the jackals. Lu Yu could only sigh, and walked on the way back to the blacksmith shop with a lonely expression.
