Chapter Seventy-Three: Veteran Gladiator
Reality woke him up and broke him.
After losing his job, he no longer thought about class leapfrogging or class struggle.
Just alive and waiting to die.
But the dream gladiatorial arena stimulates his desire to survive, and the "Secret Keeper" allows him to see a wider world.
He literally single-handedly changed a world, even temporarily, even if only partially.
But it was already a great cause that he could not imagine.
After getting through the initial fear and anxiety, his heart was filled with nothing but happiness.
Perhaps for other players, the "Keeper of Secrets" is a shackle and a talisman.
But for Liu Zheng, the "Secret Keeper" gave him the opportunity to realize the value of life.
At least before the task of the "Secret Keeper" and his three views conflicted, he was quite grateful for it.
opened the "Anthology", and Liu Zheng read it with relish.
After many years, I watched "Anthology" again, and compared what I saw and heard in Pande's world, Liu Zheng had a lot of new insights.
Next time, if you can encounter such a world again, the mission time is a little longer, and you may be able to achieve a higher level.
"Senior Brother Liu?" A small female voice interrupted his immersion.
Liu Zheng looked up and took a while to successfully recall.
"It's Jiajia." Liu Zheng said with a smile.
An Jiajia saw his hesitation, and said with some dissatisfaction: "What, you don't know me for a few days, and I still helped you." Bad senior brother who turns his face and doesn't recognize people, hum! ”
It's not just a few days, it's been months for me. Liu Zheng said secretly.
Of course, I still have to apologize.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, there's been a lot going on lately, and my brain is a bit messed up. Would you like to have dinner in the evening? "Liu Zheng used a food attack.
"Hmph, then I'll reluctantly accept it."
The effect of the food attack is outstanding, and Liu Zheng smiles knowingly.
The people in Pande's world are all yellow-skinned, thin-skinned, fair-skinned and beautiful aristocratic ladies, and they were all beheaded by him.
Being spoiled by a young and lively girl like An Jiajia made his mood a lot easier.
Blowing the air conditioning of the library, I read a book comfortably for an afternoon.
An Jiajia said that she wanted to eat Japanese food, and Liu Zheng said that there was no problem.
In addition to the strange foods of beef sashimi and horse meat sashimi, Liu Zheng's sense of Japanese food is acceptable.
There are many Japanese-funded companies in the urban area where Liu Zheng is located, so there are many Japanese restaurants, and the taste is not bad.
An Jiajia led the way, Liu Zheng was carrying his bag, and the two quickly walked to an izakaya called "Qiancai".
Of course, Chinese izakaya is different from Japan's, with rice bowls, sukiyabe, sushi and everything from rice bowls to sukiya, and portions are larger.
After all, you can't rely entirely on the flow of Japanese people, and you have to take care of the appetite of Chinese people.
The two ordered a sukiyaki pot and several kinds of sushi, chatting while eating.
In fact, it is mainly An Jiajia who is saying, teachers, roommates, clubs, gossip and the like.
It's all the little troubles of little girls.
If it was Liu Zheng in the past, he would be impatient after listening to a few words.
Now, he listened quite attentively, but An Jiajia felt a little awkward.
"Senior Brother Liu, I feel like you're coaxing a child." An Jiajia said angrily.
"No, I'm not, how can it be." Liu Zheng denied the triple.
"Hmph, obviously, you smile like an old man." An Jiajia exposed his lies.
Liu Zheng hurriedly put away his kind smile and tried to make a more natural expression.
"Oops, greasy to death. By the way, that goth girl asked me for your WeChat, do you want to give it? An Jiajia disliked it and talked about another thing.
That girl with expensive and poor clothes, Liu Zheng remembered, and then shook his head.
"Senior Brother Liu, you don't like boys, do you?" An Jiajia's eyes rolled, and her tone was suddenly excited.
Liu Zheng touched her head lovingly, and then pinched it hard, in exchange for a cry of pain.
An Jiajia complained with her eyes, then thought of something, and said cautiously: "Senior brother, you don't like me, right?" ”
Liu Zheng said angrily: "Your senior brother, I only like myself." ”
"Narcissist, slightly." An Jiajia grimaced.
Liu Zheng was about to knock, and An Jiajia hurriedly covered her head.
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Suki pot is bubbling with bubbles, carrots and greens are tumbling, and beef rolls are slightly oily.
The stomach that had been devastated in Pande's world was finally satisfied, and Liu Zheng felt that his whole body and mind were relaxed.
It wasn't until he saw the magnificent square again that Liu Zheng remembered the story of the dream gladiatorial arena.
The activity moved his muscles and bones, and Liu Zheng's mood was very calm.
Not to mention that his strength has improved again, and there are still 20 points left in the SAN value, so there is nothing to worry about.
The iron gate reappeared, and a large man slowly stepped out of the door.
This person has a short braid on the back of his head, his face is ochre, his body is not high, only about 1.7 meters to the touch, but his shoulders are wide and his back is thick, his arms are like iron casting, and his muscles are distinct.
After walking out of the iron gate, he did not rush up in a hurry, but walked forward and backward with both feet, advanced and retreated, retreated and advanced, and crossed and advanced in retreat.
Every step is steady, but there is also a hidden change.
Liu Zheng's eyelids jumped, this opponent was very unusual, far from being comparable to the previous primitives and boxers.
He tentatively gave a low kick, and after being strengthened again by the dragon's blood, even an ordinary leg sweep brought a gust of wind.
Dahan was not in a hurry, and the right foot that was dragging behind him quickly stepped forward, and the toes were slightly hooked, inserting into Liu Zheng's popliteal fossa.
This hook is very dangerous, as long as Liu Zheng's balance is destroyed, the initiative will be in the hands of the big man.
However, Liu Zheng is not empty of strength, although the bonus of weapon experience is gone, but some muscle memory is still retained.
He raised his foot and stepped forward suddenly, and with this momentum, his right hand was straight and shoulder level, like a big horse spear stabbed into the big man's heart.
There is a saying in Guoshu that marksmanship is fisting, and fists are small guns.
Liu Zheng's punch was the power of the Western riding spear, so that the power was completely borne by the shoulders and arms.
The advantage is that the force is fast and fierce, and the disadvantage is that it is easy to eat itself.
However, the dream gladiatorial arena is an instant battle between life and death, and the injuries will not affect reality, so this kind of lose-lose style of play may be more suitable.
Dahan could also see that this punch could not be eaten hard, as soon as his right foot was loosened and his left foot was cushioned, he jumped out of Liu Zheng's attack range.
With this temptation, the two have a bottom of each other's strength.
Dahan took a deep breath, and his footwork changed again.
Step forward with one foot, bend your knees on the ground, step down with one foot at the same time, and push back with the balls of your feet.
Each step is centered forward, and the momentum of the collision is like a spring, and it can jump away at any time.
Footwork is Liu Zheng's weakness, although there is also footwork in the five poultry plays, but it is mainly for health preservation, and can only bully and bully laymen.
He is also self-aware, no matter how the big man's body changes, he only stares at the big man's head.
The head is the god of the body, and no matter how many feints there are on the feet and hands, the head basically remains motionless.
Otherwise, the enemy didn't faint after dangling, and he fainted first.
Seeing that Liu Zheng was well guarded, Dahan gave up the idea of breaking through the middle line.
The big foot stepped to the side and turned to Liu Zheng's side, his body arched slightly, and his already not tall figure shrank again, as if it was only to Liu Zheng's waist.
The five fingers were put together, and they poked Liu Zheng's waist fiercely, fast, ruthless, and fast.
This style of play is deep in the Bagua palm "thief" word trick, yin and ruthless, if you poke it, the kidneys will bleed immediately.
Of course, Liu Zheng would not let him succeed, and as soon as his body turned, his arm slashed in a semicircle, and the tip of his elbow slammed down, wanting to smash his hand knife into scrap copper and iron.
The five fingers were opened, the hand turned into an eagle shape, and the big Han turned the knife into a claw, holding Liu Zheng's elbow strike, pulling it down, and dissolving the strength.
"Good!" Liu Zheng's eyes lit up, the world of Pande is all battlefield fighting, but there is no such small and exquisite kung fu.
Liu Zheng can't do this kung fu, but he has his own set of hybrid fists.
The elbows are pressed to the armpits, the legs are clamped sharply, like riding a big horse, like a spear, and the whole body makes a slight clicking sound.
Sensing the danger, Dahan jumped off and off with his feet like touching a spring.
Liu Zheng didn't intend to stop, his eyes were murderous and wanton, as if he had returned to the battlefield where people and horses were neighing, stepping four steps in a row, moving his elbows like guns, and stabbing on all sides.
Dahan felt that he was being killed by more than a dozen cavalrymen at the same time, countless spears were drilled up and down, and the throat, abdomen, chest, ribs and other vital parts were shrouded in the shadow of the spear.
Triggering the eight-pole elbow attack in a spear-riding posture can also be regarded as Liu Zheng's unique technique.
Although it seems to be very powerful, without Liu Zhenglong's blood-strengthened body, he will have to recuperate for half a month after a fight.
However, the effect is indeed significant, in the face of such a ferocious attack, Dahan can only use footwork to dodge continuously, and wait for Liu Zheng to vent his anger before counterattacking.
However, since Liu Zheng uses such a style of play, he will not be left with a chance to fight back.
The fist was like a cannonball, the elbow was like a gun, and after eight consecutive elbow blows, the big man stepped on a piece of uneven ground under his feet, and his body slanted slightly.
Suffered! Dahan knew that something was wrong, and sat on the horse with a heavy waist, wanting to stabilize the next plate.
Liu Zheng was waiting for this opportunity, and the ape-shaped body changed and drilled into the crotch of the big man like a water snake entering a hole.
Standing up on his shoulders, the whole person arched violently like an angry black bear.
Although the big man protected his crotch with both hands, the person was still thrown away by the huge force, smashed to the ground, and couldn't move.
Quiet as a Buddha, moving into demons, since it is a life and death struggle, Liu Zheng has no compassion.
The crane-shaped body was open, his legs rose and fell, and he rushed to the side of the big man in a few strokes.
Raise your right foot high and step on the big man's neck.
The big man barely raised his arms to block the stampede.
Liu Zheng was merciless, knelt down on one knee, and his elbow, which was as smooth as iron, broke through the block and hit the temples of the big man.
The big man's eyes bulged, and blood oozed from his ears, and he died on the spot.
Liu Zheng sat on the ground, panting frantically.
The strength of this big man is not at the same level as the original opponent, and if it weren't for the great increase in strength in the Pande world, this gladiatorial fight would definitely be lost.
"You have completed a special gladiatorial fight, and this time the reward is to be promoted to a senior gladiator." The mechanical voice rang out for the first time in a long time.
"What is a special gladiatorial fight?" Liu Zheng asked.
"Each gladiatorial fight has a chance to be replaced by a special gladiatorial fight, where the opponents are celebrities, and completing the special gladiatorial fight can earn special rewards or advances." The voice replied.
"What is the treatment of a veteran gladiator?" Liu Zheng asked again.
"The victory reward for veteran gladiators has been changed to one of two, and the death match time has been changed to once every 15 days." The voice replied.
That's not bad, now you can choose a less shameful reward.
Liu Zheng is quite satisfied with the promotion treatment.
"The deathmatch is over, you have won, and the current SAN value is 30."
"The reward options are: 1. Challenge more than 10 Japanese dojos and win, and reward the weapon function; 2. Women's clothing in public for more than 48 hours will be rewarded with a fast learning status, up to a maximum of 72 hours. ”
Damn, fortunately, you can choose one of the two just promoted, and the shameful reward is really here.
It is impossible for women's clothing to be women's clothing, it is impossible to wear women's clothing in this life, even if it is very fragrant to learn quickly, it is impossible to wear women's clothing.
Liu Zheng rubbed his head in fear, he would rather be cut into eighteen pieces by Maltis than wear women's clothes in public.
It's not in public and it can't be!
Exiting the Dream Arena, he frowned.
Although the passport and visa have been issued, it is impossible to go to Japan to play in Japan so recklessly.
If people don't agree, they can't knock on the door.
Forget it, let's put it first, I have to go to Star City to see the heart of the wolf in three days.
Let's talk about the kicking of the gym after this is over.
