Chapter 17: The Underground World
The white paper in Ye Qing's hand was painted with long strips of different shapes, which looked a bit similar to the "bullet train" on the earth...
"Brother Qiu, are you awake?"
Ye Qing heard him speak, and hurriedly covered the paper on the table, seemingly a little embarrassed.
"What are you drawing?" Su Jinqiu asked suspiciously.
"This is the Nitou car of the Star City, all of them are the masterpieces of Master Fengchu, you look at this one, it is called 'Dongchen', and it can go straight from the Star City to the South Gate overnight under full drive..."
Speaking of these, Ye Qing's expression suddenly became a little obsessed.
"You like these?"
"Yes! Brother Qiu, don't you think you're particularly handsome? This streamlined body, this metallic texture..."
"Stop! Let's talk about your hobbies slowly, find a place to eat first..."
"Brother Qiu, you wait for me, you must like this car!"
Seeing this big and small rush out of the school gate quickly, Ye Liuji, who was standing in the dark part of the square, exhaled heavily, and couldn't help but show a smile.
"Teacher Ye, how did you know Su Jinqiu?"
Bai Su naturally knew that Ye Qing and Su Jinqiu were mixed together, and the reason for Ye Liuji was indispensable, but he couldn't figure out how these two people got on the line?
"He is Luo Peng's friend, and according to Luo Peng, he is also a good man with a true temperament..."
"What a true temperament... Since Mr. Ye cares about Ye Qing, just come to me and say no? Why go around in circles? Bai Su asked suspiciously.
"This... This..."
Ye Liuchen's face suddenly stiffened when he heard this, and he was speechless.
"Forget it, I don't care about that... I'm just worried that Ye Qing and Su Jinqiu will be mixed together, will it delay his condition? ”
"Bai Su, can't you see the expression on Ye Qing's face? It's been a long time since I've seen his smile..."
Ye Liuji sighed, his face was both relieved and sad.
“... I hope that Xiao Ye is by his side and can forget the pain of the disease. Bai Su muttered in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I will watch him in the dark, and besides, this Su Jinqiu, I don't think he is a lawless student..."
Ye Liuchen didn't expect that he would say this too early, because at this time, Su Jinqiu was sitting in the restaurant of the "circus" with Ye Qing...
"Mr. Liqiu, who is this?" David, still dressed in a floral shirt, looked at the boy next to him with a strange expression.
"He's just here to eat, and he's going to talk about something." Su Jinqiu moved the dish to Ye Qing's side and signaled him not to say much.
"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point... Since Mr. Liqiu's debut that night, he hasn't appeared again, is it because I didn't greet him well? ”
"You want to fight me to the death?" Su Jinqiu didn't go around in circles with him, and asked directly to the point.
"This is not just a small deathmatch in the 'circus', I came to Mr. to invite you to participate in the highest level of competition in the underground world!" David said in a deep voice.
"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Su Jinqiu said in surprise.
"There is news from the Star City side, the desperate match will start soon, and the underground arenas around the country are now starting to look for candidates, and our South Gate is no exception..."
"Desperate match? Underground arena? ”
"Mr. Liqiu, don't underestimate this desperate match, the underground arena of Star City is not comparable to the 'circus', it is an iron-blooded battlefield of life and death, and it is also a vanity fair built with real money, as long as you can make a name for yourself there, it is a profitable business!" David said excitedly, his tone full of demagogy.
“... For such a high-level competition, you came to me for a student who didn't graduate? Su Jinqiu was completely unmoved, and still asked with a smile.
"Alas, the original candidate for the 'circus' was a mask, but you cut off the victory, and now you can't even find anyone, and it is estimated that he has left the south gate..."
It was only then that David spat out some truth.
"Masquerade? How dare you choose someone! ”
Su Jinqiu chuckled, in his opinion, the strength of the mask can't even catch up with Chen Feng in the spear star position, and a person of this level is actually a representative of the "circus"?
"Don't think it's ridiculous, that's the way it is... The South Gate was originally a small city, and although the league of our arenas looked very lively, it was actually a child's house, which was not comparable to the big city, not to mention the Star City..."
“... Those who have a little ability have long been standing in the spotlight to perform, so why bother to fight in the dark? Those who are willing to participate in the death match either need quick money, or take their lives instead of their lives, where can we have a master in this small place..."
As he spoke, David took a sip of wine, and there was a hint of bitterness between his eyebrows.
"In that case, what's the fun?" Su Jinqiu asked suspiciously.
"It's a backbone problem! Although the South Gate is a small city, and several of our bosses also regard star coins as more important than anything else, they must not be a shrinking turtle that retreats before fighting! Not competing in the Ultimate Match? Spread out, how does the South Gate gain a foothold in the underground arena world? Who else will come to see the cowardly deathmatch? The faces of several of our bosses... Where to put it? David shouted indignantly.
These words of true affection really shocked Su Jinqiu, he couldn't have imagined that the boss of the fighting arena in front of him would have such noble sentiments.
"Boss, you should... Do you like the arena? ”
"I love the arena, and I love Star Coins!"
In the face of such a real boss, Su Jinqiu did not play dumb riddles with him:
"Boss, look at me, like a lack of money or an outlaw?"
"Neither, but I can tell you must be eager to see the masters of the underworld!"
“......”
As soon as these words came out, Su Jinqiu suddenly fell silent, through what he had seen and heard during this time, he also began to become interested in the power of the star position, not to mention that between life and death, he could also improve Foyego's mastery progress, and maybe he could break through the current bottleneck of 24%...
"Liqiu, the south gate is too small to hold Tianjiao's heart! This desperate tournament happens to be a great opportunity to see the uneven world! Are you not tempted at all? I promise here that as long as you can enter the top eight of the knockout round, I will give you the income of the seventeen underground arenas at the South Gate for three years! ”
With clever words and temptation, and a little hometown feeling, David has already done everything he can, just waiting for the young student in front of him to reply.
"I can try..."
As soon as Su Jinqiu opened his mouth, David grabbed his hands, and his excitement was beyond words, and he almost hugged his face and kissed him!
"We'll meet at the 'Circus' in three days to tell you the details of the Desperate Match!"
Davy left only a Star Coin card and hurriedly left the restaurant, presumably to inform the owners of the other arenas at the South Gate.
"Brother Qiu, can I go too?"
Ye Qing poked his arm and asked cautiously.
