Chapter 20: Compulsory Tasks (2)

The arena, which has been silent for a long time, has once again ushered in a new warrior, where there is no forgiveness or mercy, and swords and magic will make all hypocrisy come to naught, and only the strong with courage and wisdom can survive in the arena. ”

"Mandatory Mission: Arena, Open!"

"Mission Description: Here, you will face three life-and-death battles, you are a contestant, and at the same time, a gambler. You'll have to win two of the three life-and-death battles to pass this mission. At the same time, you can bet on one of them with the 'ninety percent of the time' in the clock, and you can bet on yourself or on your opponent. If you press on yourself, then you will get double the time return if you win. If you bet on your opponent, then even if you lose, your opponent will not kill you because you pressed him. But either way, you only get one chance to gamble. Whether it's self-preservation, or gambling for your life, it's up to you! ”

"Quest completion conditions: Two wins."

"Mission failure conditions: Death, or no two victories."

"Mandatory mission, no reward for completion!"

"Have a chance to bet, bet 90% of the time in the required clock."

"Bet on yourself, and if you win, you'll get double the time bonus. Crush the opponent, your own victory, bet payout, the opponent's victory, can make the opponent's subordinates merciful, save a life. ”

"Arena times, three!"

"Time arrangement, there is no time limit for the competition, the winner is over, and the period is a three-hour rest for the next game."

This is the hint that Lin Fei saw after he just woke up.

At this moment, the place where he was was was a cell at all, and the steel bar with the thickness of his arm closed the space of less than ten square meters. Through the gap, you can see that this cell is not the only one. Many people were locked inside, and Lin Fei estimated that they should all be contractors like himself.

After a while, a fat man came over, then knocked on the iron fence of Lin Fei's cell, and said with a wicked smile: "Boy, it's your turn, you will play in ten minutes, do you want to try your luck and bet on yourself?" Of course, if you are afraid of death, you can also bet on your opponent, and I will tell him when the time comes, so that he can take your life for the sake of the bet. ”

Lin Fei listened, but looked at this big man carefully.

The man was dressed in dirty clothes, and his stout arms were bare. And his white and black gown was propped up by his fat belly, and if it weren't for a belt, it would have fallen to his knees. On the belt that seemed to break in a second, there was a large key hanging from it.

"Hey, boy, bet or not, give me a good word!"

The man was obviously a little impatient.

Lin Fei thought about it, but said, "Not this time!" ”

"Hmph, let's flip the cards!" As the strong man spoke, he muttered words like poor ghost and coward.

"Flop?"

Lin Fei was stunned for a moment, but he saw that the strong man was dragging a wooden plate in his hand, on which ten wooden cards were neatly placed. The wooden signs are all green, and they are all backside up, so you can't see what is on the front.

"yes, what are you doing in a daze? These are your opponents, which one you flip over, which one is your opponent, hurry up, don't ink! The strong man spat on the stars and shouted.

A thought crossed Lin Fei's mind.

This is obviously the setting of drawing the opponent immediately, and the wooden cards in the strong man's hand are to let him choose, which opponent to choose, just look at the will of God.

That is to say, it is possible to draw the strong, or it may be drawn to be inferior to your own.

"Okay, I'll smoke it right away!"

After Lin Fei finished speaking, he walked forward. In the midst of these few steps, his mind was spinning rapidly.

Obviously, this so-called 'arena' is its own obligatory task. The content of the task is extremely simple, that is, play three games and win two out of three.

In this way, the task can be accomplished.

It seems simple, but the danger is self-evident. These three battles can't be said to be dangerous, after all, even the opponent doesn't know whether he is a human or a ghost.

And the most distinctive feature of this task is the 'gambling rules'.

This thing is quite a test of a person's willpower. Bet on yourself and you win to double your time reward. But if you lose, you will definitely die.

Because another purpose of gambling is to seek a chance to survive for yourself.

Bet on the opponent, even if you lose, the opponent will not make a dead hand. In other words, if you don't bet on the other party, the other party will definitely make a dead hand if you lose.

In other words, if you lose, you will definitely die.

So the key to this forced mission arena is to win two of the three battles, and then use gambling to fight for yourself a chance to survive even if you lose.

Of course, if he is a particularly confident and greedy person, he may really put time on himself.

But anyone in their right mind would not do such a stupid thing.

After all, who can guarantee that they will win when they don't even know who their opponents are? Since this gambling rule is to give yourself a chance to live, you should not bet on the first game. If you think about it carefully, if you win the first game, the bet will naturally be lost, and if you lose, you have to face the last two battles without any security.

Although from a rational point of view, the effect of betting on this gambling opportunity is the same, but from a psychological point of view, it is very different.

One is that there is no way back, and the other is that there is still a little buffer.

Therefore, Lin Fei will not and cannot use the 'gambling' opportunity in the first game.

In this way, Lin Fei has thought it through. When he walked in front of the strong man, he took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and casually chose a green wooden sign and turned it over.

At this moment, Lin Fei had a trace of absurd thoughts. If this is not a prison cell but a palace, if you are not an unlucky contractor, but an emperor, if the strong man in front of you is not a strong man, but the chief eunuch of the respectful room, then what a harmonious and friendly scene it should be.

After the wooden card was turned over, Lin Fei saw a name written on it.

"Gorels!"

This is just a name, in Lin Fei's opinion, it doesn't mean anything. But when the strong man saw it, he smiled.

"Boy, luck is okay, this Gorels is a coward, come, come with me!"

As he spoke, he opened the door with the key on his waist.

At this moment, Lin Fei thought about whether he would be able to take advantage of a loophole and escape this task if he subdued this strong man.

It's just that he almost slipped 'accidentally', and after rushing forward and touching the other party's body, he secretly took a breath of cold air, glad that he hadn't done it just now.

"Hans, Cell Keeper, Level 58."

Not to mention anything else, this level alone was enough to make Lin Fei get rid of the unrealistic thoughts he had just now. It's just that this Hans is so sloppy, but he can't see that he is so powerful.

So, Lin Fei honestly followed Hans forward, walking through many of the same cells along the way, and there were also contractors locked up in them.

It's just that there was a small episode here, when Lin Fei was passing by a cell, he actually saw a violent bear.

The latter obviously recognized Lin Fei as well, and immediately became excited, Lin Fei hurriedly waved his hand, which could be regarded as a greeting.

"Be careful, this arena is no small thing!"

Storm Bear just said this, and then Hans in front urged Lin Fei to hurry up.

Even the old fritter of Storm Bear is here, and he is very depressed and desperate to look at. Obviously, there is only one reason for this, and that is that the mandatory task of 'Arena' is very dangerous.

But what Lin Fei cared about was another thing, he was clearly the first time to perform a mandatory task, how could he be separated from Storm Bear, the third executor?

This question could not be answered for the time being, and Lin Fei did not plan to continue thinking about it, because he had already walked out of the long passage.

In front, there is a rather wide circular venue, surrounded by high walls, and there are rows of seats on the wall, many people who can't see their faces clearly sit on it, Lin Fei estimates that it may be an audience.

Hans brought Lin Fei here, but he smiled and retreated.

As a result, Lin Fei was the only one in the entire venue.

The audience in the stands just whispered, and it didn't seem to have changed much because of Lin Fei's appearance.

The scene was very quiet, and at this moment, the iron door on the opposite wall suddenly opened slowly, and a earth-shaking beast roar was heard. The whispering in the stands also stopped abruptly.

As soon as the beast's roar came out, Lin Fei probably knew what his opponent in the first game was.

Soon, the heavy iron door was fully opened, and a behemoth slowly stepped out of it.

This is a three-headed dog covered in flames, and just one of the dog's heads is worth the size of Lin Fei. And the length of this beast has reached seven meters away, three dog heads are born with necks, all of them are hideous and abnormal, three pairs of eyes are staring at Lin Fei, and there is saliva between the sharp canine teeth.

Seeing this scene, Lin Fei directly overturned what Hans said just now, 'Gorells is a coward', there is no doubt that this three-headed dog called 'Gorells' is definitely not a coward.

But no matter what, there will be a fight. At this moment, Lin Fei was ready for battle.

He holds the 'Cursed Blade' in one hand, and the 'Heavy Strike Dagger', or Jagged Triangular Thorn, in the other. As for the ghoul's arm-splitting sword, because it affected Lin Fei's mobility somewhat, Lin Fei directly equipped his own stitched corpse soldier.

And in the face of this first battle, Lin Fei knew that he could only win by skill. If you want to fight this monster head-to-head, it's simply looking for death.
