Chapter 197: Bloody Gladiatorial Arena
Cao Shuo is also a nobleman, and Chen Qing, who planned to make a high-profile appearance, bought a real luxury starship on the planet just now, which made everyone become poor at once, but Chen Qing was not in a hurry, and when he arrived at the Central Star, he had a way to make a fortune, and he was not down to the point of making a cameo star thief.
When the larger Central Star appeared in front of him, even Chen Qing was shocked, Hongjiaxing compared with it, it seemed to be comparing stones and peaks, the clouds floating in the sky of this Central Star were all composed of rich heaven and earth vitality, and taking a breath of air made people feel comfortable.
The luxury starship on which it was riding was not conspicuous at all when it landed, and it was even more luxurious everywhere, worthy of being a place where local tyrants were drunk and dreamed of dying.
"There are a total of eighty-eight gladiatorial arenas in the Central Star, corresponding to the eighty-eight galaxies of the Celestial Dragon Empire, and they are divided into four levels. New gladiators and slaves were eliminated in twenty-two gladiatorial arenas of the fourth class, which was also the bloodiest. It will be better to enter the third rank, and their master will treat them well and give them a certain amount of resources for cultivation. The second class was even higher, able to have their own slaves and women, and allowed to have children and leave their bloodlines. If he reaches the first class, the treatment is comparable to that of a nobleman, and his master will basically be satisfied with whatever he wants, because it will be a cash cow. Moreover, according to the laws of the empire, when you reach the first rank, as long as you win 100 games in a row, you can get a free body and a territory. But these were the practices that inspired those gladiators, and Cao Shuo grew up here, and he hadn't seen anyone win a hundred in a row. ”
As soon as he arrived at the Central Star, it seemed that the angry ghost had opened the floodgates of Cao Shuo's memory and began to talk endlessly, so that Chen Qing had a general understanding and would not be darkened.
"Cao Shuo's ancestor is a marquis, and this title has always been hereditary, but unfortunately in his generation, all his brothers died inexplicably, even his father, and he was left as a waste. As a result, the empire considered that his ability was limited, and the Emperor Tianlong personally ordered the position of marquis to be passed on to his uncle, and then he was sent to Hongjiaxing to fend for himself. ”
The angry ghost's re-narration made Chen Qing's eyes glow, "That means we can let you show your strength, use some means, and justifiably regain the position of marquis?"
"This is all based on Cao Shuo's own strength, but this body is so wasteful, I can only exert one-tenth of my own strength, and I have to be careful every time, otherwise this body will explode." Moreover, the strength of the Lord of the Galaxy itself is a soul immortal, and only by defeating him can he regain the title, there is no need to think about this at all. What's even more worrying is that soul immortals and even high-level soul saints can see through my essence, there are so many powerhouses on this planet, unless I completely merge with this body, otherwise I can't escape their eyes. ”
The complete fusion of the angry ghost with the body meant that it became Cao Shuo, and Chen Qing could no longer summon it from Cao Shuo's body at will. Moreover, in the event of an unexpected death, the angry ghost will disappear completely, and even if a new evil ghost is summoned, it will be a new one.
"Master, it doesn't matter, Cao Shuo's identity will be of great use, it's just that the body is a little wasted! I just want to experience what it's like to be a human being, and I can taste all kinds of delicious food, but now I don't have any taste except for eating souls, which feels very painful!"
The humanized angry ghost was comforting Chen Qing's heart, and Chen Qing knew that as soon as he agreed to merge, there would be one less powerful creature called the angry ghost in this world, and one more waste subordinate named Cao Shuo. But the risk was worth taking, and he nodded heavily.
Seeing Chen Qing nodding, the angry ghost smiled happily, after the four evil ghosts became in their complete form, their greatest wish was to become a real human being, even if it was a waste.
Completely fused in the blink of an eye, the angry ghost had already made preparations, feeling that he could annihilate the angry ghost who was Cao Shuo's soul at any time, Chen Qing also relieved his heart, in the future, this Cao Shuo would be a non-combatant's subordinate.
After the angry ghost became a human, the first time he ate and drank a lot, but the amount of alcohol was really bad, and what was even more strange was that he asked the evil god guards to escort them to a place of fireworks, to taste the love of men and women. It's a pity that the angry ghost became a human as he wished, but the strange aesthetic still hasn't changed, and there is no 'beauty' he needs in any fireworks place, and he actually slept all night with an old bustard who was over half a hundred years old and as fat as a pig. Watching the old bustard hold his waist and send him out of the door, reluctantly kissing goodbye with his fat thick lips, the evil god guard who saw this scene couldn't help but vomit!
After the first experience of being a human being, the next step is to get down to business. Another starship full of fake slaves had also arrived, and Chen Qing, who had entered the Central Star in a low-key manner, directly came forward to 'buy' them, and of course he used the slaves' own money. Slaves are not allowed to be bought and sold privately, and an official certificate from Chen Qing has obtained them all, and the certificate states that these slaves are all prisoners of war or star thieves, and they are accompanied by portraits. But Chen Qing still has proof in his hand, proving that they are residents of the Cao family.
These are all actions that can only be used in the future, and what they have to do now is to follow Chen Qing, the slave owner, to the gladiatorial arena to fight and make a lot of money. Only with money can Cao Shuo return to the extravagant aristocratic circle, and many plans can be implemented in the future, and the earth demons and ten phoenix guards who have nothing to do will become Cao Shuo's guards.
And the body of the mourning ghost control zhì actually frantically sold the slave ship that did not belong to him, and then ran away with the money from the sale of the slave and the slave ship, and no one ever found him again, of course, he was destroyed by Chen Qing, and even the mourning ghost returned to his body to standby. This aroused the vigilance of the big boss behind the scenes, all his captains were not only his cronies, but also had the handle in his own hands, and it was impossible for him to run away for that little money. And buying and selling slaves is just to earn some travel expenses, and finding the best beauties for his own pleasure is the main purpose, but this is the case, and he can't figure out what it is for.
At this time, Chen Qing had already gathered all everyone's money together, originally wanting to buy a large enough property to accommodate nearly a thousand people to live in, but the price made people want to hit the wall after hearing it, enough to buy a smaller planet and become the owner of the planet himself.
With so many people not being able to sleep on the streets, Chen Qing had no choice but to start the plan in advance and led everyone to the nearest fourth-class gladiatorial arena.
"What for?"
When Chen Qing showed that he was bringing the slaves to the gladiatorial fight, he was greeted by the suspicious eyes of the guards, they had never seen the slaves come to the fourth-class gladiatorial arena and were not escorted, one by one they were still giggling and laughing, it seemed that they were not here to fight, but purely to play.
It wasn't until Chen Qing took out the official slave certificate that the guards believed in the release and arranged for everyone's accommodation, but this residence was all a prison cell, and people could only live temporarily. Chen Qing and Ling'er were arranged to a clean room, and the next thing was to wait, wait for someone to arrange the game, as long as there were slaves in hand, they didn't have to worry about themselves.
The news of the arrival of nearly 1,000 new products soon spread throughout the gladiatorial arena, and then spread, and when the news of several team matches was arranged, countless people who liked to watch flocked to the arena, not only buying tickets but also frantically betting. Of course, Chen Qing also arranged for someone to bet all the money on his own people, and in order to raise money, he also sent someone to sell a large number of pills. Since both parties are newcomers, the odds are set as one to accompany one, which makes Chen Qing a little unhappy.
The fourth-class gladiatorial arena is the place where the garbage slaves are eliminated, and after the staff of the gladiatorial arena compares the portraits one by one with the slave certificates, they return the certificates to Chen Qing, and there will be special personnel to talk to Chen Qing about the rest of the things. Everyone used exercises to hide the words on their foreheads, and no one saw the handwriting representing their identity.
The place where Chen Qing and Ling'er are located is said to be a room, but it is actually a small private room where you can see the competition venue, which can be regarded as a special treatment for slave owners, you must know that the ticket price of a private room is not low.
A polite knock came at the door, and a man in a gorgeous robe walked in, and although he looked at Chen Qing with a smile on his face, he couldn't hide the contempt in his eyes.
"Before these slaves of yours died, all the games were arranged by me, but I led the team into the first-class gladiatorial arena, and it was your luck to meet me. ”
Chen Qing didn't see the contempt of the other party, these temporary agents are slave owners who make money by helping slaves connect with competitions, and often do not offend their parents, this one seems to be a little arrogant.
"The slaves you brought are a bit miscellaneous, men, women and children, today I have arranged a hundred-man melee for you, first eliminate some old, weak, sick and disabled. A lot of people like to watch the slaughter, and it just so happens that you also earn a death fee, saving those people from wasting food. ”
"I'm giving you an equal number of people to wipe out the war, only the death of all the slaves brought by one side can be counted as the winner, if you still have money, bet yourself to lose, so that in the end you can get back some losses, the opponent's slaves are the real enemy prisoners, you are all captured people, I have seen too much, absolutely can't win." ”
"Today after the battle of 100 people, tomorrow it will be a melee of 200 people, and the day after tomorrow will be the finale, and how many people are left can be sent out. So let the other party eat a sweet tomorrow, tomorrow you must choose the strongest two hundred people, as long as you win tomorrow, you still have a little chance of winning, but the chance of winning in the end is still slim. ”
"Alright, let's go pick a hundred people today. I hope you don't go bankrupt this time, but next time you don't have a good slave, I will never be your agent again, and defeat is always bad for my reputation. ”
The agent didn't even say his name, let alone ask Chen Qing's name, but just chattered a lot. Chen Qing blinked and ignored him, Ling'er pursed her lips and smiled, and took this agent to pick someone. With a beautiful woman to accompany him, of course, the agent was even more happy, and he still nagged and kept following, still showing off how he led the team into the first-class gladiatorial arena along the way, but what was ushered in was not Ling'er's adoring eyes, but the same silence as Chen Qing.
