Chapter 241: Conflict
Rocky didn't pay much attention to the other players' whispers and exchanges, he knew that the other players were talking about him, and even knew that some people might have some kind of plan, but it didn't matter to him.
Rocky knew exactly what he was here for, he wasn't here to make friends, he wasn't here to gossip, he was here for three purposes.
The first is to make money, whether it is the reward of the fighting game or the peripheral gambling, as long as he can win the game, he can make a lot of money.
Second, it is to test the actual combat ability of the White Devil Warframe, the basic test of the White Devil Warframe has been completed, and the performance is generally good, the next thing to do is to further verify the actual combat ability of the Warframe through the competition of real swords and guns.
Third, it is to temper himself, the competition in the arena is very cruel and dangerous, but it is also a good opportunity to temper himself, so Rocky came to participate in the competition this time, in addition to making money and testing the battle armor, he also hopes to hone his strength through the competition.
The above three points are the purpose of his participation in the competition, except for these three purposes, he doesn't need to think about anything, and he doesn't care about what other people think of him, he just wants to keep a low profile.
In this case, Rocky stayed quietly in the lounge, without any contact with the other players, like a lonely eagle landing on the treetops.
Unlike him, Lilia and Monte were constantly looking left and right, constantly watching the rest of the players in the hall.
The reason why the two of them are like this is, on the one hand, for Rocky's safety, after the last assassination, every time they come out, Lilia and Monte will tense their nerves to the limit, and will always be vigilant if anyone dares to act rashly.
On the other hand, the two are helping Rocky observe their opponents in advance.
As mentioned before, as the lord of the city, Rocky doesn't need to do everything himself, and Lilia and the others will help him with many things, such as collecting information about his opponent in advance.
After learning that the format of the primaries was a scuffle, although Rocky acted very indifferent, Lilia and the others did not sit idle because of his composure, on the contrary, they have been collecting information about their opponents through various channels, so who are the nine opponents that Rocky will face in the primary, Lilia and they have long found out.
Following her gaze, Lilia soon saw a big man in the crowd.
This big man is extremely conspicuous among the many contestants, because his figure is so strong, for a human, it is not to be on par with Monte in terms of stature, which is difficult not to be eye-catching.
Known as Peter Monster, the big man is one of Rocky's opponents in the primary.
Strange Peter's identity is just an ordinary person in the Nightless God City, but he is born with strange power, I heard that without wearing the Sky Demon Battle Armor, ordinary warriors are not his opponents, so there is still some strength, and more importantly, this is the third time he has participated in the preliminary competition of the Fighting Arena!
The Arena Preliminary Tournament is only held once a quarter, and the winner will be awarded a Rank and qualified for the Ranked Tournament, while the loser will be eliminated and will have to wait until the next Preliminary Tournament to sign up for it, provided they are still alive after the tournament.
And Strange Peter is a player who has participated in many preliminary tournaments in a row, but don't underestimate this person just because he has been eliminated many times.
According to Lilia's many inquiries, the reason why Peter Strange Force will be eliminated in the preliminary rounds again and again is because he is just a civilian, and he does not have an Air Demon War Armor, although the arena will provide Battle Armor, but it is impossible to compare with the real Air Demon Warriors in operation, so he will lose one after another; 。
To sum up, Peter is definitely an opponent to keep an eye on, he is already quite familiar with the operation of Warframe after participating in many preliminary matches in a row, and coupled with the experience of participating in many tournaments, he will definitely be a threat to Rocky.
Glancing at Peter Strange Force, Lilia turned her head to look to the other side, followed by three people.
These three people, from the standing, from the demeanor, and from the momentum they show, look like trained warriors or soldiers, and what is even more interesting is that these three people look almost identical!
Triplets brothers!
Jeff, Jaylin, and Jace, these three are not only triplet brothers, but also soldiers in a certain Sky City, but due to the fall of Sky City, the three of them moved to the City of the Sleepless God, and their current occupation is to act as a guard for a nobleman in the city.
These three are also Rocky's opponents, and they are even more noteworthy than Monster Peter, because the three of them are already experienced soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and in the melee, the three of them must have a better chance of winning than the others, even if it is Rocky, if they face the attack of these three people, they will not be able to eat good fruits.
Strange Peter, and the triplet brothers, these four are Rocky's most noteworthy opponents in the primaries, as for the others, according to Lilia's investigation, there is no big problem, they are just some small characters who can't make the stage.
And after looking at the triplet brothers, Lilia was about to turn back, but she inadvertently noticed another group of people.
As mentioned before, there were only 60 players participating in the preliminary round, but there were hundreds of people in the lounge, and a considerable number of these people were not players, but the 'support group' brought by the players.
For example, Rocky, he is followed by Lilia and Monte, and the group of people who are noticed by Lilia at this time are the same, and they are even more exaggerated than Rocky!
Following her gaze, she could see a boy who was surrounded by everyone, and this boy looked like he was only a year or two older than Rocky, but there were more than a dozen people around him, both men and women, and it felt as if a large family had come to travel.
Surrounded by everyone, Brother Gongzi didn't mention how comfortable he was, someone was serving tea and pouring water next to him, and there were beautiful women beating his back and massaging behind him, and there were two big men escorting him around, and other players who wanted to get closer, or even just passing by, would be rudely pushed away by these two big men, so that there was no one within a dozen meters around this group of people.
Obviously, this boy is not an ordinary person, he can put on such a big pomp in the rest hall of the fighting arena, if he goes out, he can't carry a big sedan chair to pick him up?
Coincidentally, when Lilia saw this boy, the other party also happened to see her, and the moment she saw Lilia, the child's eyes lit up!
His eyes looked at Lilia with a shinning, and this boy directly shook off the beautiful woman who helped him beat his shoulders, and then stood up and walked straight in the direction of Lilia!
And when he moved, more than a dozen people waiting around him immediately moved, and the two big men opened the way in front of their heads, pushing all the players along the way.
It didn't take long for Brother Childe to lead a group of people to the corner where Rocky was.
When they came to Rocky and the others, the other party first looked at Lilia, and then at Rocky.
"Brother, is this your guard?"
After looking Rocky up and down, Brother Gongzi opened his mouth with a smile, and looked at Lilia twice as he spoke.
"Yes. ”
Sitting on a bench, Rocky looked at each other, didn't stand up, didn't show too much, just said a simple word.
"My son-in-law is talking to you, stand up!"
"I don't know what to lift!
Rocky's action of not even standing up immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of a group of servants, and even Brother Gongzi frowned, but then he waved his hand to stop the servants from yelling.
"Brother, your guard is really good, give her to me, and make a friend. ”
After that, Brother Childe got straight to the point, opening his mouth like Rocky begging for Lilia!
The reason why he came here was for Lilia, because he was attracted to Lilia at the first sight.
This is also normal, because Lilia herself is beautiful, but it is not the kind of vase that can only be seen but not touched, Lilia's beauty is a beautiful appearance that also reveals this attractive temperament.
The experience of the battlefield made her look heroic from the inside out, and this kind of temperament is not available to ordinary women, which makes almost everyone can't help but look at her twice, including the other players in the rest hall who can't help but peek a few times after seeing her.
The boy in front of him was also attracted to Lilia, but he didn't just peek at Lilia, but wanted to get Lilia more directly!
As a result, no sooner had he said this than Rocky, who was sitting on the bench, glanced at him.
"Get out. ”
Glancing at Brother Childe, Rocky answered one word succinctly!
His answer made Brother Gongzi's face change immediately, obviously he didn't expect Rocky to dare to treat himself like this.
And as his face changed, everyone behind him immediately understood, and one of the butler-like people directly glanced at the two big men, and the two big men walked towards Rocky after receiving the instructions.
The two big men, one walked towards Rocky and the other walked towards Lilia, making it clear that they planned to teach Rocky a lesson and snatch Lilia away directly!
Unfortunately, before the big man who walked towards Rocky could get closer, a big hand bigger than his head grabbed his neck, and then the big man felt his feet off the ground!
"What are you doing when you're so close!"
Lifting the big man with one hand, Monte roared in a thick voice, and then shook his hand, and the big man who was lifted by him was like a pocket, and he threw it at the group of brothers.
The other contestants who saw this scene were stupid, good guys, is this throwing people as punching bags?
At the same time, before everyone could recover from Monte's actions, a scream came out, and everyone who heard the scream hurriedly turned their heads, and saw that the big man who had gone to catch Lilia was kneeling in a pool of blood and howling, screaming and reaching out to touch the ground.
Touch what?
Touch the palm of his hand that was cut off by Lilia!
When the big man was about to grab Lilia, as soon as he stretched out his hand, a cold light flashed at the same time, and Lilia cut off the palm of his outstretched hand with a sword!
"You guys!"
This result obviously surprised everyone, and the already ugly face of the boy became even more difficult to look at after seeing Monte and Lilia's actions, and then stared at Rocky fiercely.
"This brother, for the sake of a woman, you don't even want your own life, is it worth it?"
A pair of eyes stared at Rocky, and Brother Gongzi said coldly.
Rocky, who was staring at him, sat on the bench steadily, and only turned his head to look at the other party for a while, and smiled slightly: "It's worth it." ”
"Good!"
Hearing this, Brother Gongzi laughed angrily, but his smile was full of hideousness: "Very good! In that case, let's see you in the ring!"
After saying a word, Brother Gongzi didn't care about the two big men on the ground, turned around and left, and as soon as he left, everyone behind him dared to stay wherever they came, and they all followed.
At this point, the rest hall returned to calm again, this time it was really calm, after the scene just now, the rest of the players in the hall seemed to be frightened, there were obviously fewer people chatting and talking, no one dared to speak loudly, and everyone's eyes were focused on Rocky and Brother Gongzi.
"Hey, who's that guy in the corner? How dare you provoke Katsuna?"
"Who is Xiana?"
Although no one in the hall dared to make a loud noise, the number of people who muttered quietly increased significantly, and the content of the muttering was naturally related to Rocky and Brother Childe.
"Xia Nai is the son of that son, the Kafka Empire, the Marquis of the Empire. ”
"Oh...... No wonder ......"
Hearing this, many players looked at Xia Nai, and at the same time showed an expression of sudden realization, no wonder this boy is so flamboyant and so domineering, it turns out that he is the son of the marquis of Kafka's empire.
In today's world, there are no longer a few nobles, but the vast majority of them are just empty nobles, that is, nobles who only have titles and no real power, except for the nobles in Kafka's empire.
Because Kafka's empire is not only one of the three major forces in the sky, but also the only country in the sky, all the nobles in this country have real power and fiefs.
In the sky, what is a fiefdom?
Naturally, it's Sky City!
Therefore, the nobles in Kafka's empire are all nobles with real power in Sky City, so it is no wonder that Xia Nai, who is like Gongzi, has this kind of behavior and the kind of performance just now, since his father is the marquis of Kafka's empire, he must also be the lord of a city.
"I didn't expect this guy to have this kind of background, and the other person is going to be unlucky. ”
After taking a look at Xia Nai, the contestants turned their eyes to Rocky, and many of them shook their heads, they could also see that Rocky's identity must be unusual, but these people felt that even if his status was high, it was impossible to compare with Xia Nai, after all, Xia Nai's father was the lord of a city!
"Attention everyone! The morning competition will start immediately, and the players who participated in the first, second, and third preliminary rounds will immediately go to the preparation rooms of the No. 1, No. 3, and No. 5 rings, and get ready to play!"
Just as everyone was talking about the conflict between Rocky and Xia Nai, the staff of the arena appeared and informed everyone that the morning match was about to begin!
