Chapter 51: The Show Begins
Walking out of the gate of the arena, the glare of the sun made me squint slightly, and I looked up at the surrounding auditorium, and as far as I could see, there were fanatical alien spectators everywhere, and it seemed that there must be at least tens of thousands of people.
There were no cheers, everyone was looking at me with a wait-and-see attitude, after all, I was just an unclassified freedom fighter, but the cheers would be there soon, because I was about to give them a show like never before.
My mind can't help but think back to yesterday's conversation with Mr. Fury.
"Free killing is a performance, and acting is an art, you have to make the audience look forward to the outcome of the game, you have to make them substitute for you, so you have to show an amazing deed, your fight has to be difficult and heroic at the same time, full of passion, full of suspense, so that the audience always pays attention to you, and at the same time you have to make them feel shocked, so that they will bet on you, you know what I mean?"
"I know what you mean, I'll blow them away."
So, let's get the game started.
"Freedom Fighter 9713, he is a resident of a planet called Pangea, his origin is unknown, we can see his performance in the test match on the big screen, he seems to be a shooter-type fighter who is good at shooting enemies from a distance."
As the narration sounded, the big screen above the arena showed me fighting the berserk Tooth Beast.
The picture didn't look very good, after all, I was almost chased and beaten at the time, and I almost died.
"No. 9713 player chose the challenge of the first difficulty, which is not surprising, it seems that he and his previous friend, are planning to be a mat player, this time the odds are players buy three to one, the beast to buy 1 to 2.5, the upper limit of the bet amount is 1000 star coins, the odds will fluctuate with the bet amount, the audience who want to bet please do it as soon as possible, the game will officially start in five minutes, now let's take a look at an advertisement."
There was a wave of boos from the audience.
I took advantage of this time to sort out my weapons and equipment, and I printed a lot of equipment for this placement tournament, and brought them all out.
The spear is inserted on the ground, and the body is wearing toughness armor, which is very close-fitting, this set of armor is relatively heavy, more than twenty catties, but because of the strengthened relationship, more than twenty catties of armor are worn on the body without pressure, and it will not affect the action at all.
Several javelins were also stuck in the ground, all of them were heavy javelins made of all-metal, and the armor-piercing effect was very good, in addition to the short sword, dagger, horse chopping saber, fighting axe, mace, and other weapons were lined up one after another, as if there was a weapons exhibition.
In addition to these weapons, there are several things that stand out from the rest, a bundle of rope, a bundle of chains, a few throwing netsγγγγγ
From my experience fighting beasts in training pods, these tools are sometimes more effective than weapons against beast-type enemies.
All the things were visited, and all I said was that the bow and arrows were left in my hand, and the bow was also newly made, a strong bow of three hundred pounds.
My actions managed to attract the attention of some spectators, after all, generally the contestants will only carry a few weapons, at most a few spare ones, and I am the first one to make such a big fanfare, but there are no rules in this regard anyway, and I don't bother to care.
The voice of the narrator rang out again.
"The race is about to begin, so let's take a look at the random enemies that the 9713 contestant has randomly encountered, this time the Botag Jungle Cat, a very agile predatory creature known for its speed and deadly claws, and is a very difficult beast.
I watched as the dark door opened, and a bobcat-like creature stepped out of it, looking around warily, its gaze falling on me, and immediately began to slowly move around the field.
I raised my bow and arrow, took a deep breath, my excellent eyesight allowed me to see its every movement, my keen senses allowed me to appreciate the rhythm of the beast's advance, the strong proportions and strong bow gave me a super long range, and the moment its spirit came alive, I raised my hand sharply and shot an arrow.
Sou! Poof! The beast was shot in mid-air, and the force of the 300-pound strongbow nearly shot its neck in two, sending its corpse flying. β
This arrow is more than fifty meters away, and there is some luck in it, but it is still very amazing. There was an exclamation from the audience, and I gestured to the spherical robot above me who was observing the arena, signaling it to move on to the next one.
"Beautiful arrow, it seems that some viewers have not reacted yet, please look at the big screen, we can see the slow motion of the replay just now, the power of this arrow is very amazing, and the range is very long, many people at this distance even with blasters are difficult to hit the target, this 9713 only uses a primitive catapult weapon to do a one-hit kill, I have to say that it is really a very amazing art of killing.
It's hard to imagine that this is just a newcomer to the field, it seems that our No. 9713 player will continue to challenge, this time the challenge is the second level of difficulty, our computer has calculated the new odds, the player's odds are to buy four to one, the odds of the beast is to buy 1 to 3.6, from the strength of the player just now, it is not difficult to see that this odds are very objective, the upper limit of the bet amount is 10,000 star coins, and the game starts five minutes later. β
The difficulty has risen by one level, the odds have decreased, it is not difficult to see their recognition of my strength, generally speaking, the higher the difficulty, the higher the odds, the odds are actually floating, the computer will only give an initial odds, and then the more people who buy me to win, the lower the odds will be, the fewer people who buy me to win, the higher the odds will be, no matter what the result is, the organizer is a sure win.
At this point, my odds went all the way down to an astonishing 4.5 to 1, and it seems that few people thought I was going to lose.
I'm not surprised by this, although it is said that it is going to act, but it would be too fake if the first-level beast fights too hard.
I turned down the medical care provided in the arena, and five minutes later, the dark door opened again.
"This time, our No. 9713 player randomly encountered the enemy Baroda Bear Crab, which is a relatively failed biochemical modification beast, named after the modifier Barrow, although it is a failure, it is a transformation beast after all, so it is still a bit dangerous."
This time, it was an even more bizarre creature that came out, with a bear-like body and a pair of big furry claws, weird and slightly funny.
