Chapter 383: The Arena Master's Begging Process
【Arena Domination】
[Activation Condition: This achievement can be activated when you participate in any of the life-and-death arena gladiatorial battles as a gladiator and successfully survive.] Current achievement location: Arena of Dis. 】
[Achievement description: In front of you is a sharp blade swung by the enemy, and in your ears is a noisy cheer and curse.] You know that there are countless pairs of eyes around you at this time, watching you, but you don't have time to care about it. Because, you are using your life to carry out a grand "performance".
You are like an opera singer standing on the stage, and this scorching yellow sand is your stage. Your power-ups are swords and shields, your dancing is offensive and defensive, and your singing is roaring and roaring.
Every muscle crack and blood flies will make countless spectators in the stands cheer for you, but as an actor, you have to stay calm and make your every move carefully. Because in this deadly performance, only the strongest person can usher in the curtain call. 】
【Achievement Effect:】
[1. The stronger the stronger: When you win in the arena, you will absorb the remaining strength of the loser, so as to make yourself stronger. For each victory, you will receive an Arena Effect Bonus of +3% for all damage, +3% for all Stats Defense, and a Daily Effect bonus of +1% for Damage and +1% for Defense. When you fail in the Arena, the bonus will disappear and will be recalculated. 】
[2. Killing Training: For every three Arena victories you win, you will gain an additional skill point.] When you earn skill points this way, your Soul Energy needs don't change, Talent Specialization doesn't increase, and the system only randomly gives you a new skill. You can choose to use this skill point to learn a new skill, or upgrade any of the old normal skills. 】
[3. Trapped beasts are still fighting: Most of the gladiators in ancient times were born in the slave class, and they had no freedom and had to fight to the death. When you add Arena as a non-liberal, you will gain this effect: all negative effects such as Curse, Enchantment, and Control, whose effect and duration will be reduced to 30% of the original effect.
[4. The Light of Glory: In the years that followed, there were also many warriors, samurai, adventurers and other free people who participated in this kind of arena of life and death for various reasons such as money, honor, and honing their martial arts. When you enter the arena as a free agent, you will get this effect: for every 10% of the audience cheering you on, you will get a temporary stat bonus of +1 Strength, +1 Dexterity, +1 Constitution, and +1 Charisma, and if the number of spectators cheering for you is greater than or equal to 99% in a gladiatorial fight, your Charisma will permanently gain +1. 】
[Note: Spartacus, this is not my name.] 】
"My name is Barrett!" the brute silently closed his eyes as he went through the effects of the achievement again.
......
At this time, it was about six meals before Barrett's arena debut. During this period, the barbarian actually wanted to use a lot of free time to exercise repeatedly in the cage to ensure that the physical condition can be maintained at the best. But in the end, the project only went on twice, and then it had to be stopped.
The cramped space and lack of equipment were secondary, and the most important thing was that Barrett would get hungry very quickly after each exercise. In a cage, there was no other food to feed him, and there were no rats or insects in the barrenness. Exercising on a hungry stomach can only get weaker and weaker, so the brute can only stop there.
How can I get more food? The barbarian thought about it, and finally set his sights on the needle demon who delivered the food.
The door to the cubicle was opened again, and the Pinprick slowly walked in, pushing the cart with two filthy iron buckets. He was pinching the delivery time very accurately, and every time he came in, he kept muttering something in his mouth. The Needle Demon's narrow eyes were always staring blankly ahead, never paying attention to them prisoners.
With Barritt's slowly growing level of purgatory, he could vaguely hear what the needle demon was saying. There seemed to be a lamb, a bear's paw, and a deer's tail, as well as ducks, chickens, geese, and pigs. It seems to be related to eating, which makes the barbarian feel quite weird.
Doesn't the devil need to eat at all? Why is this needle-prick devil so obsessed with food? Barrett was puzzled.
The meal in front of me was a bowl of soup and a cut of meat. The light brown soup was filled with offal, and the lump of meat was a calf bone of an unknown creature. Barrett was so used to it that he no longer thought about where the food ingredients came from.
When the Needle Demon gave him food, the Barbarian asked the Needle Demon who delivered the food in a long purgatory phrase that he had learned so much, "Hello, my friend, if it's convenient, can you give me some more?"
Hearing Barritt's words, the Needle Demon slowly turned his head and looked the brute up and down with those narrow eyes. He looked at it for a long time, quite a long time, and didn't make any other movements for a long time.
When the soul merchant 'Elvis' noticed the silence here, he also said from the side, "Hey, Lord Acupuncture, I know that there will be a lot of food left over from your cooking, and it would be a pity to throw it away, so why don't you give me more of this friend." ”
The Needle Demon turned his head to look at the Soul Merchant again, and there was no expression on his strange face, "I won't throw it away." The devil replied in lingua franca, "It will be reheated again, and then you will be eaten." ”
"This ......," the soul merchant paused, and then said with a smile, "Anyway, it's all up to us to deal with in the end, so it's better to give a little more each time." Of course, only this friend of mine is not needed by me. If it weren't for the sake of survival, I wouldn't have eaten even half of the food. Oh sorry, I mean to say, the food still tastes ...... Very...... , very personal. He thought about it for a long time and found a more appropriate word.
The Needle Demon didn't care, but turned his head to look at the brute again, "You really like to eat something that is not even as good as pig food?" he tightened his nose, his tone full of disdain, "To call this thing food is a blasphemy of the word 'food'!" His lingua franca was quite good, and even his tone was quite similar to that of humans.
"No way, I'm in the arena, and if I want to survive that bloody place, I'll need to take in more energy. Barrett replied, "I'll tell you the truth, I want to break my roommate's bones and suck his marrow." The barbarian said with a smile.
"Roommate, do you have a roommate?" The acupuncture demon suddenly stood up like a porcupine, and pulled out one of the spikes directly and held it in his hand, "Everyone should be held in solitary confinement, how can you have a roommate?"
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, it's this guy. Barrett gestured to the bones behind him.
After seeing the white bones, the Acupuncture Demon relaxed, and then asked in a strange tone, "Are you really going to do this?"
"No, it's just a joke, how could I hurt 'Brady', we're very good friends. Barrett replied solemnly.
"Please, Barrett, my friend, can you please not call it 'Brady', it's just ordinary bones!" the soul merchant shouted, "What's more, it was a woman when it was alive, and Brady was clearly a man's name. ”
"Not necessarily. Barrett retorted, "You said before that it was lying there when you first came in, so you would never know if it was male or female when it was alive!"
"Hey, what the hell are you talking about?" the Needle Demon interrupted the two of them arguing about the sex of the bones, "Do you want me to give you more food?"
"Yes, of course!" Barrett said hurriedly, "I just don't know......"
"It's not impossible, orcs!" said the Needleprick Demon, staring into his eyes.
"No, no, I'm not an orc, I'm a human. The barbarian corrected, "A complete pure-blooded human!"
"What? Is there still a green-skinned human in this world? Not to mention that your teeth are much longer than the average human, don't lie to me!"
"I am indeed human. Barrett had to explain again, "It's a side effect of some kind of potion that makes me look like a forest troll." After explaining, he didn't forget the words that the Needle Demon had said before, "You were just saying, 'It's not impossible,' did you agree?"
"I mean, this matter can be discussed, discussed!" repeated the Needle Lancer, "but what gain can I gain from it?"
"Benefits?" Barrett frowned, "what do you want?"
"Cut, you can't give me what I want, half-beast...... Mankind. The Needle Demon said disdainfully, "Since you participated in the arena, let's talk about it after you survive and have a certain popularity." He took a few bones and pieces of meat from the bucket on the cart and handed them to the brute.
"I don't need to sign a contract or an agreement for this, do I?" asked the brute cautiously.
"Not really. The Needle Demon replied simply.
"Then aren't you afraid that I will regret it later?" Barrett couldn't help but ask again. The price of free things is often higher, and the other party is still a devil, and he is worried that he will end up paying a terrible price for these few pieces of meat.
"Anyway, it's all things that no one wants, and it's not the same who you feed them to. The Needle Demon replied nonchalantly, "Think of it as an investment in you." ”
