Chapter 209: Heaven and Hell for Martial Artists
Ryo Sakazaki turned around slightly and looked at Louie next to him, in his opinion, Louie's body shape and body are not bad, but he doesn't know if he really knows martial arts?
In his opinion, many young people casually learn a few kung fu of three-legged cats, and they think they are invincible in the world, and then they hurriedly run to Nanzhen, dreaming that they can become famous once, and from then on, money and beauties flock to themselves in droves to live a different life.
In fact, ninety-nine of a hundred such young people will leave in disgrace, and they will not survive in this place for a month.
The remaining one will not necessarily be famous, at most they will eat in Nanzhen, these people are basically mixed in underground fighting matches, and even serve as underworld fighters.
The young man in front of him is no different from those people in his opinion, but as the current leader of the extreme stream, he has to think about the next competition.
This kind of competition held by the gym, in which the competition method is relatively not very formal, more similar to a kind of propaganda behavior to show the strength of the gym, in addition to the people who sign up, the extreme flow will also send their own masters to the town - in fact, it is to try to knock everyone down, and the people of the extreme flow can only show their strength if they win the final victory, and do a good job of publicity to attract more people to join the gym.
"If you want to sign up for a fighting tournament held by Extreme Stream, you can just go to Extreme Stream Gym and sign up...... There is now a special registration point there. ”
Ryo Sakazaki took over the identity of the head of the extreme stream from his father a few years ago, and he made a lot of efforts and suffered a lot to make the extreme stream one of the top gyms in Nanzhen again (the King of Fighters series and the fist of the dragon and tiger, and the legend of the hungry wolf are set separately because of the timeline, and the official statement is 'parallel world').
Now that the limit flow is on the right track, the burden on his body has become much lighter, and it is impossible for him to deal with such a small matter himself—Louie is not an acquaintance he knows.
"Thanks, I'll go over and sign up. ”
Ryo Sakazaki nodded, and then he stopped talking to Louie, and continued to sit there with a sip of beer, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing him like this, Joan seemed to have gotten used to it, and after shrugging her shoulders slightly, she filled Louie's glass again: "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
"Are there any hostels or hotels here that are comfortable?" Now that the fight is in order, it's time to think about your personal life.
Louis never deliberately embarrassed himself when he had the right choice, he always found a comfortable place to stay so that he could get a better rest.
Anyway, he has a lot of money in his wallet, maybe not rich enough to turn money into superpowers, but it's enough to make him comfortable living in most worlds.
"It depends on how much you're prepared to spend. Joan glanced at Louie, and judging by what Louis was wearing, he seemed to be just an ordinary young man.
But from some of Louie's reactions, he felt that this was a person who was not bad for money, and Joan simply told him about several better places to live, including various price points, and the general living environment, and let Louis choose it himself.
Listening to Joan's introduction, Louis sighed that the money for this bottle of wine was well spent, and with only this information given by Joan, he could live in Nanzhen, and then it would be a relatively peaceful life, right?
"Thank you, I won't bother you, have some snacks for me. ”
Louie, who had enough information, was not going to stay here as a light bulb, he knew that the relationship between the two was a little special, and even if a certain wood didn't have this idea, the bar owner probably didn't want to keep him bothered.
"I'll have the waiter deliver it to you. ”
Joan smiled and nodded to Louie, then returned to Ryo Sakazaki, and continued to stare at the young master of the extreme stream, occasionally saying a few words of gossip that had little connection with each other.
Louie, who had found a seat, was not ready to arrange his own accommodation immediately, and according to Joan, Nanzhen promoted tourism because of the popularity of martial arts. Therefore, there are many hotels in South Town, and several of them have excellent environments, but because of consumption, there is almost no fullness.
Even if one hotel is full once in a while, not all of them will be full, and he doesn't have to worry about finding a place to stay.
He's going to sit in the bar a little longer, let go of the Force induction, and maybe hear more gossip, which will help him get to know the city even more.
As time passed, the flow of people gradually increased, and Louie did not choose a booth in any corner, but just found a random position on the side, drinking wine, eating snacks and listening to gossip.
The people who came here were mixed, and in a short time, Louie heard gossip between the underworld, gossip between martial artists, and gossip about ordinary people.
Who is in conflict with whom, the relationship between several forces has become tense for turf, life has been a little tight lately, do you want to go to the underground fighting tournament to make some quick money? Who is the secretary of the company next to him so beautiful......
While Louis was listening to all kinds of gossip and sorting out useful information for him, he suddenly heard a conversation from the bar.
The two people talking are Mary and Joan, and it seems that Mary is asking Joan about herself?
Looking through the countless figures, in the gaps that countless people occasionally revealed, I saw the woman in the green leather jacket.
After all, he is an excellent martial artist, Louie's gaze passed, Mary immediately noticed it, turned around and looked, and soon saw Louis sitting in the booth position.
Louis raised his glass to Mary and gestured to the empty seat next to him, who only thought for two seconds and walked over with a bottle of beer.
"I didn't expect you to actually come. ”
Mary unceremoniously sat down directly across from Louis and looked at Louie again as if she were seeing him for the first time.
"Why? Haven't you seen enough before?"
"No, I'm just a little surprised at your strength...... It seems that I underestimated you before. ”
"Oh?"
"I had only been talking a little bit about you at the bar, and your eyes were immediately fixed on me, and you could hear my conversation in such a noisy environment......" Mary was sure she didn't have any bugging devices on her, and she didn't think Joan would be able to spot the bugging device under her nose.
"I just happened to see you over there. ”
Mary pursed her lips and smiled, even if she didn't say anything, she could tell that she didn't believe Louie's explanation at all.
"I heard you're going to participate in a fighting tournament held by Extreme Stream?" After a moment of silence, Mary turned the subject to the news she had just heard, she didn't expect Louie to actually come to participate in a fighting tournament, or was it just investigating something under the guise of participating in a fighting tournament?
"I have this plan, and I am going to go to the limit tomorrow to ask about the specific situation. "Sitting here, he's learned a lot about Southtown martial arts from a lot of martial artists.
There are generally three types: formal large-scale martial arts events, which have strong organizers, enough advertising sponsors, and even live broadcasts.
The prize money is lucrative and makes the martial artist famous overnight, but the entry threshold is relatively high, the organizer will invite well-known martial artists from all over the world to participate in the competition by invitation, and after the invited martial artists have divided the places, the remaining few places are contested by a large number of fighters based in South Town.
At this time, well-known martial artists can occupy some advantages and can play in the qualifiers with relatively low rounds - and a pure newcomer like Louis actually doesn't even need to sign up, there are too many people to sign up, and the famous martial artists alone are not enough to get the remaining places, and this kind of unknown newcomer will only be ignored.
Of course, there is more than one such competition, and Southtown can host two or three martial arts events of this level each year, in addition to some relatively small competitions, with less prize money, no live broadcasts, but may be filmed and sold on videotape. But even in such a competition, it is still very difficult to participate in it - it is still a situation where there are more monks and less porridge.
This was followed by tournaments held by the various gyms to promote themselves, which were aimed at unknown martial artists who had just arrived in South Town, or young people who were interested in martial arts.
There are bonuses, although not very rich, but for many nameless fighters, it is also a good income.
The level of competition is relatively low, naturally there is no broadcast, no video, and the audience is mostly watching lively idlers, and other fighting matches will attract fans from all over the world to watch, which is not at the same level at all.
That's why this level of competition doesn't appeal to real martial artists, only a pure newcomer like Louis would want to participate.
Of course, if he can perform amazingly in the game and defeat the town masters of the extreme stream, there is also the possibility of becoming famous overnight.
Therefore, this kind of competition will also attract some competitors who kick the stadium and smash the field.
As for the underground fighting match, Louie didn't hear too much, it seems that the martial artists are reluctant to talk about this kind of competition in public, he only noticed that almost eighty percent of the martial artists who came to drink have participated in the underground fighting competition, and the rest of the part does not know whether it is strict or really not participated, which Louis can't be sure.
"Maybe you might want to consider giving it a try. Louis quickly decided on his next plan: first go to the Extreme Flow competition to see the situation, and if he can easily deal with it, then he can consider going to the underground fighting tournament to play: "I don't know who the Extreme Flow will send to the town this time? Could it be that Ryo Sakazaki will personally take action?"
At this moment, Mary suddenly asked Louie what time he was going to go to the limit stream tomorrow?
"How?"
"I'm curious, wondering what the level of fighting is really for the famous hunter Louie?"
