Chapter 235: Arena
Just when everyone was at a loss for money and could not think of the best of both worlds, Hammer Fire suddenly spoke.
"I have a solution. ”
This sentence made everyone's eyes fall on him, and Hammer Fire looked at Rocky: "It's just that this method is a little dangerous for you." ”
"Master Hammerfire, just say it. ”
"That's it, hammer fire, don't sell it to us, if there is any way, hurry up!"
For everyone now, any method can be considered and discussed, so as soon as they heard that Hammerfire had a way, Rocky and Orton immediately asked.
And after that, the hammer fire also spoke:
"The arena. ”
When the three words were simply spoken, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then their expressions appeared.
"Hammerfire, let's be clear, what do you mean? Are you letting Rocky go to the arena?"
After hearing the three words of the fighting arena, Orton tightly locked his brows, and his face became unkind.
"Yes, just let Rocky go to the arena. ”
For this question, Hammer Fire nodded directly, and then said in detail: "The Arena of the Nightless God City will hold a league every quarter, and every player who participates in the Arena can get a huge bonus as long as they can win the game......
"No! Absolutely not!"
Before Hammer Huo's words were finished, Orton rudely interrupted it, and then scolded with round eyes: "Rocky is a dignified city lord! How can you go to the fighting competition? Besides, the fighting arena is a life-and-death battle, and if Rocky has three long and two short, broken arms and legs, will you be responsible?"
Wide-eyed, Orton was extremely dissatisfied with the hammer fire.
What is the arena in the end, in fact, it is easy to explain, it is an entertainment project that uses air demon warriors fighting each other as a point to please the audience, but don't underestimate this entertainment, in the city of the night god, the arena is one of the biggest entertainment projects, there are competitions every day of the year, and the contestants are all empty demon warriors without exception!
It's just that although the games in the arena are entertainment for the audience, they are cruel to the contestants, because the games in the arena are all real life-and-death fights, and the slightest carelessness will cost you your life.
But in the same way, the high risk of the game is relative to the high return, every air magic armor that participates in the fighting game, as long as you can win the game, you can get rich rewards, the most basic reward is gold, if the level of the game is higher, then the reward will be more advanced than the gold coins, and even if you can get the championship in the sky fighting competition every three years, you can directly get a sky city as the top prize!
It is precisely because the rewards are so abundant that despite the fact that the competition is full of dangers, there are quite a few people who can choose to participate in the fighting competition.
But even so, the number of air demon armor is still a small number after all, after all, the status of air demon warriors is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers, not everyone is willing to risk their lives, so in order to attract more people to participate in the competition, the arena will provide air magic armor to some unconditional contestants for free, so as to attract more ordinary soldiers to participate.
It is precisely because the arena provides armor for free that the number of participants in the arena is always high, which makes it possible to have competitions in the arena every day of the year.
At the same time, due to the uneven quality of the contestants, there are both real and fake air demon warriors, which further aggravates the bloodiness of the game, once the real air demon warriors are against the 'fake' air demon warriors, it will be almost 100% fatal, but the more bloody the game, the more attractive it is, and the higher the income of the arena.
This is the arena, a bloody pastime.
Hammerstone's idea was to make money by hoping that Rocky would go to the arena to participate in the tournament, so that not only would the research be funded, but the research would not fall into the hands of others, which could be described as the 'best of both worlds'.
"Hammer Fire, although there is a prize money for the competition in the arena, that prize money is not enough to support our research, right?"
At this time, Proya also spoke, and she did not explicitly oppose the idea as Orton, but questioned it from one side.
In Proya's opinion, the prize money provided by the arena may be a large amount in the hands of ordinary people, but for the research of rune armor, what is tens of thousands of gold coins or hundreds of thousands of gold coins?
But as soon as she finished saying this, Hammer Huo opened her mouth: "Proya, you don't know, the competition in the arena is divided into levels, and the prize money for low-level games is naturally less, but the high-level games are different, it is normal to have a hundred thousand gold coins as a bonus after a game, and I let Rocky participate in the competition not for the prize money at all, but for off-court betting!"
"Do you think that the arena only relies on the audience to buy tickets to make money? No, every time the arena is played, the official will set up a gambling game outside the stadium, set odds for both sides, and then bet for everyone, which is the root of the stadium to make money. ”
"So as long as Rocky participates in the competition, we will bet on the sidelines, and as long as he can keep winning, we can always win money off the field, several times dozens of times, so that the research funds will not come out?"
It was only at this time that Hammerfire finally revealed his true purpose, and he asked Rocky to participate in the tournament in the arena, not for a dime a drop in the bucket for research, but for off-the-court betting!
The idea is simply amazing!
Because as Proya said, the bonuses provided by the arena may be very generous for ordinary people, but the research on them is not enough at all, but the gambling game is different, the gambling game is that you press more bets, once you win, you can earn multiple or dozens of times, the more you press, the more you earn, and the money earned from this is really possible to support the research of rune armor!
"No, it's still too dangerous. ”
Unfortunately, when Hammerfire explained his thoughts clearly, Orton still shook his head like a rattle and resolutely disagreed.
And the reason why he disagrees is very simple, that is, the arena is too dangerous.
For this reason, everyone is still speechless, everyone has heard of the arena, and they have all seen some of the arena games to a greater or lesser extent, so they know the cruelty and bloodiness of the game very well.
The arena is a place where people eat people, where no one cares what your identity is, and no one will make friends with you, and the people who go to the arena basically have the same purpose, that is, to kill their opponents and get the prize money they want, which is so 'simple'; and driven by such a simple purpose, every match in the arena is extremely dangerous, it is no exaggeration to say that Rocky will die in the ring within three games when he participates in this kind of competition!
"My lord, let me go!"
At this moment, Monte, who had been listening to the side, suddenly stood up, and the tall orc stood up and said to Rocky, Orton and the others: "My lord, masters, let me go to the arena! I used to be a demon hunter, and I have experience in fighting demons, so I will definitely have no problem in the arena!"
As one of Rocky's most trusted henchmen, Monte also knew how difficult Rocky's situation was now, and he also wanted to help, but there was no way to do it, so as soon as he heard that he could make money by participating in the arena, he took the initiative to ask for help.
In Monte's opinion, this method of hammering fire is simply tailor-made for himself, and in the entire Thunderhawk City, is there anyone more suitable to participate in the arena than himself who used to be a demon hunter?
"You can't. ”
However, Monte had barely stood up when Hammerfire shook his head.
"Master Hammer Flame, why!"
Unexpectedly, Hammer Fire denied himself without even thinking about it, Monte was very puzzled, and as a result, Hammer Fire was honest in the next sentence.
"The White Demon Warframe is not designed for you. ”
Glancing at Monte, Hammerfire turned to Orton and Rocky: "Orton, I know you're worried about the safety of the city lord boy, but I don't seem to have said that he should wear his broken armor to participate in the competition, right?
"What?"
"Hammer fire, you mean ......"
When Hammerfire finished saying this, Orton, Proya, and Agnier were stunned at the same time, and the three of them all fell into deep thought.
As they fell into contemplation, Hammer Fire continued: "Everyone, the White Demon Warframe was jointly developed by us, what level of combat power this Warframe can reach, you know best in your hearts, don't you still believe in the Warframe that you have researched with your own hands?"
"And once Rocky puts on the White Demon Armor, does he still need to worry about his safety? Don't forget that he is only participating in the season competition, and it is not the triennial Sky Fighting Tournament, so there will be no problems. ”
With that, Hammerfire was silent, and shortly thereafter, Anier and Proya came back to their senses and nodded at Rocky at the same time.
"If you're wearing a White Demon Armor, you're really safe and secure. ”
"That's right, and in this way, we can also directly collect the actual combat data of the Warframe. ”
When Anier and Proya nodded their heads to the idea that the Hammerfire's suggestion was feasible, everyone present looked at Orton and Lodge at the same time.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Orton glanced at Rocky: "Boy, what do you think? I can tell you that the danger level of the arena is not lower than that of the battlefield, and even more dangerous than the battlefield, and your opponent does not know what kind of means will be used to win the battle, you must not take this as child's play." ”
"But Hammer Fire is right, if you wear the White Demon Armor to the competition, you can rest assured that there will be no problems with this armor. ”
"So it's up to you to decide what you choose. ”
Obviously, after learning that Hammerfire was going to let Rocky wear the White Demon Armor to participate in the arena, Orton, who had always been opposed, was also shaken, because he had full confidence in the White Demon that he had personally participated in the design.
But even so, he gave the full force of his choice to Rocky himself.
In this way, everyone's eyes are on Rocky again.
"I'm fine. ”
Unlike everyone imagined, Rocky did not show the slightest hesitation in this matter, and agreed in one bite.
As early as when Hammer Fire explained his thoughts to everyone, Rocky was already thinking about this matter, in fact, there was nothing to think about for him, because there was really not much room for him to choose now, let alone wearing the White Demon Battle Armor to participate in the arena, even if he was asked to wear the Blood Pattern 2 generation to participate in the competition, with his current situation, he had to go!
So Rocky has already thought about it, isn't it just a fighting arena, he just goes!
"Good!"
Seeing that Rocky nodded in agreement, Hammer Fire was the first to jump up, and then said to Orton and the others: "Everyone, the city lord kid has made up his mind to work hard for this research, we old bones can't let a child compare! What are you waiting for, hurry up and take action, let the world see the power of the white devil!"
And just like that, when Rocky decided to participate in the arena, everyone got busy again.
After that, Rocky took out the last 300,000 gold coins in his hand, and Hammer Fire and the others relied on this last fund to create the sixth version of the White Demon Battle Armor in half a month.
The production cycle of this version of the warframe is the longest of all versions, because after countless experiments, this version of the warframe has been perfected in all aspects, at least in theory, it has been impeccable, so this version of the warframe, also known as the prototype armor of the white devil by Hammer Fire, once the tests of this version of the warframe are successful, then for a long time in the future, all rune armors will be designed based on this prototype, hence the name.
However, after the White Devil Prototype Armor was manufactured, Rocky did not immediately participate in the Fighting Skills Conference, he also had to participate in a series of tests, on the one hand, to familiarize himself with the new Armor, and on the other hand, to let Orton and others verify the practicality of the White Devil Armor, only after determining that this Armor can really be used in actual combat, Rocky can participate in the Fighting Arena.
............
............
One day half a month later, Rocky brought Lilia, Erin, and Monte and others to the institute early, and then saw Orton and the others who had been waiting for a long time.
"Boy, are you ready?"
In the backyard of the institute, after seeing Rocky, Orton asked.
"Ready. ”
Lodge took a deep breath and nodded to Orton's question.
"Come on, it's yours. ”
Seeing him nodding, Orton, Hammerfire and the others smiled slightly, and then dodged their figures, revealing the white demon armor behind them!
