16. Suit thugs
A week later, the Sky Arena, the forty-nineth-floor arena, was full of people.
"Audience friends! Let's welcome the next two contestants with a round of applause... They are, the 'Working Knight' Hao, who has been in the limelight recently, with a record of 33 consecutive victories and has not tasted defeat, and our veteran martial artist, 'Windranger', who has been standing firm in the 40th to 50th floor of the arena, Yus, Geryyous! ”
An old man with white hair shouted passionately, resounding through the microphone in the hall, causing the audience to stir up like a wave.
"The first thing we saw... It's a hazy player... That's right, he wore his knightly armor as always, a white shirt and simple suit pants and leather shoes. I'm here to explain to the audience friends in front of the TV that this hazy player, only ten days before and after registering at our Sky Arena, completed a terrifying springboard promotion, and all the people who fought against him, without exception, could not survive a single move, ending the game with an average of two seconds per game, breaking the record of our Sky Arena since its creation. ”
"Today, will he be able to continue the miracle again... Let's wait and see! ”
"It is worth mentioning here that our player seems to have been an ordinary office worker who came to the Sky Arena in pursuit of prize money! Recently, the attendance rate of the recent competition related to him is very high, which shows the popularity of our players! And most of the viewers and fans who support him are men, and they are also office workers... According to our prior investigation, the appearance of the player has added a different style to the ring, and office workers regard him as a spiritual leader and regard him as an idol... That's why he has the nickname of a part-time knight. ”
“……”
Hao slowly walked into the ring, his expression very calm.
I don't bother to complain in my heart.
He went from one game a day at the beginning, to two games a day, three games... As the number of victories increases, according to the rules, he can apply to the higher levels to challenge. And his ability to kill the game in an instant has also attracted the attention of executives and some spectators...
In addition, in the original plot, after the game, the referee will assign floors according to the strength of the players, such as Xiaojie and Killua, who were directly assigned to the 50th floor.
Hao didn't enjoy this treatment, not only him, but most of the players.
You can only apply to the upper floors on your own initiative.
The current Sky Arena has some different rules than it did eight years later.
A new face like him, once he shows his super ability, will get 'publicity', and at the same time... As the floor rises, the exposure is different.
On the twentieth floor, it seems that there is a live broadcast of a local TV station...
To put it bluntly, the Sky Arena is deliberately praising him.
But... Such a low nickname for a part-time knight... It was Hazy who didn't expect it, and he didn't know it either... It is rumored that he is an office worker, where did he come from.
The more it spreads, the more evil it becomes...
Recently, he appeared, and some people did start asking him for autographs, well... All of them are male compatriots.
"Newcomer... Your winning streak ends here, I've seen the footage of your match... Though... Ahem, ahem, I can't see anything... But you have to understand that none of the opponents you have met before are considered famous... And I'm different, I can always maintain around the fifty floors of the ring without being eliminated......"
On the other side, the oily and powder-faced windranger, Gerius, pointed at Hazy and said in high spirits.
This person's dress is not a martial artist at all, but more like a playboy.
"Yes, yes, yes... I know. ”
Hao didn't want to listen to his ink, almost every opponent he encountered, before the fight, he liked to say a word or two, and he didn't know why.
"You!"
Guan Hao was so arrogant, and the young brother had green tendons on his forehead.
"Let's get started."
Hazy looked at the referee.
Backbite...
The whistle blows.
With his hands in his pockets, he stood still.
Youss was like a grasshopper, jumping back and forth in an instant.
Then, he began to gallop around the hazy, his body moving left and right, flipping or rolling, extremely flexible.
"It's Yus's way... The stunt he relied on to become famous! As we all know, Youss is extremely fast, has excellent reflexes, and is good at defending and counterattacking, and his previous opponents are often defeated by him at the moment when the attack misses! ”
"What to do! How should the players respond? ”
The host shouted.
"Three seconds... Three seconds have passed... Youth managed to drag the race to the fourth second! ”
"Hahaha... Well, I'm not one of those clumsy guys, as long as you can't catch me, you can't win the game! Even if you make a move, I can react...... Bang! ”
Brother Gongzi just shouted two sentences, but before he finished speaking, he was abrupt, and his eyes were dark.
Then, Hao lightly took out a hand from his trouser pocket, raised his fist, and hit the bridge of the former's nose with precision.
At this moment, the sound of bone cracking sounded.
You Si immediately broke his appearance, bleeding from his mouth, mixed with a few broken teeth...
The person rolled around several times in mid-air and smashed under the ring, his limbs were limpable, and his life and death were unknown.
"Tsk... You can't be quiet..."
He shook his hand indifferently, complained, inserted his trouser pocket, and strolled towards the ring.
Rumble!
Then, there was jubilation in the stadium.
"Oooo
The host let out a long roar, "It's still a familiar picture, it's still a familiar taste... The winner is still a player! He's continuing his legacy... Who will be able to stop this terrible newcomer..."
"Knight!"
"Knight!"
There was also a uniform shout from the audience.
It's a hazy fan group, a group of single social animals.
"No... This title... It has to be changed. ”
Before returning to the break room from the passageway, Ha frowned as he listened to the cries that would break through the dome.
……
"Let's welcome the 'thugs in suits'...... Bad player!! ”
The next day, after he applied to the head of the department, the moderator changed the wording when introducing him to the scene.
This time, he was still 'paddling'.
The ring on the lower floors made him not interested.
In terms of pure physical strength and attributes, there are few existences that make him shine.
In the case of low physical strength, let alone what combat skills or martial arts he can use that he cares about...
In this way, Hao passed all the way and won a crazy streak.
The officials of the Sky Arena, in order to attract traffic, also made him a 'legend' image, and spared no effort to promote him... As for the rules of the competition, they are also treated with special treatment, allowing Hazy to challenge to higher floors.
The promotion layer by layer is not exciting for the audience, and there is no suspense.
For example, jumping from the 70th floor to the 100th floor, the level of the martial artist is undoubtedly not a level, and whether Hao can continue to maintain his winning streak is also a question mark.
Sky Arena captures exactly what the audience needs to be psychological...
In half a month, Hao was unprecedented, jumping to the one hundred and fifty floors like a rocket.
The daily schedule is also full, and the games about him are basically full and the stadium is full.
The name of the thug in the suit has also been completely launched.
Solve a piece of the heart disease... At least it's not called a working knight.
And above the one hundred and fiftieth floor, the Sky Arena changed its plan against him... The opponents arranged for him are all the strongest on the same floor, and they hyped it up in advance, not to mention that the ticket price has increased several times, and the game has also been scheduled to prime time, one a day, and it will not increase.
The next day, in a luxurious suite where he lived alone.
The staff at the arena brought information about who he would play next.
Hazy is now the big red man in the Sky Arena... Even the posters placed in the hall and the TV pictures played were dominated by him.
"Thank you."
Hazy took the papers.
The staff nodded and turned to leave.
After the others left, Hao threw the documents on the table casually, not interested.
You know, in the original book, Killua and Xiaojie used their knives and palms respectively to solve the opponents below the 180th floor... The sensation caused is no less than that of my current self.
Of course, it's not that the martial artist Shui in the Sky Arena is that the strength of the two protagonists at that time is no longer weak.
Even more terrifying... Or the talent and aura of the two little guys.
Hao stretched out, ready to pick up his clothes and go out for a spin... During this time, in addition to the competition, he was also inquiring about some of the more famous local casinos and information about his own gambling market.
Because of the winning streak, his odds are frighteningly low, and there is almost no profit.
Hao also doesn't plan to start sitting on the bank now.
"Huh?"
After thinking about it, he was just about to leave, when the corner of his eye suddenly caught a glimpse of a data sheet on the table, where the documents fell to the ground.
On the white piece of paper was a photograph and a name.
Yungu!
Hazy's face changed slightly, and he picked up the paper and looked at it carefully.
The young man in the photo, wearing a pair of glasses and a baggy shirt, has a warm smile.
The information is written that this person was typed up layer by layer, and it took more than three months before and after, before the hundred floors, the time to end the game was very fast, and the hundred floors went up, it seemed to be a bit difficult, and there was a defeat on the one hundred and forty-ninth floor, and after reaching the one hundred and fifty floors, he stopped... Take the attitude of the champion and face the challenger.
Obviously, he is also a dark horse, but he is not so violent as Hao, and he has been killing his opponents in seconds... No gimmicks, so... was not made popular by the Sky Arena.
There are countless martial artists who flock to the Sky Arena every day... There are a lot of people who maintain a winning streak, unless they can be like Hazy, and they are all crushing games... Otherwise, it will be too difficult to stand out.
In addition, don't look at Hao's fame now, but the Sky Arena is the cradle of martial artists, and what really attracts attention is the strong man at the head... That is, the masters of more than 200 floors, they are the 'stars'.
Hao can only be regarded as a phenomenal newcomer.
"Sure enough, it's him!"
After a moment, Hazy put down the paper, his eyes lit up, and shook off the clothes he had already held in his hands.
I'm not going to go out.
Yungu... Bisji's apprentice, the guy who taught Xiaojie and Killuan Nian.
He is also a disciple of the school of telekinesis, the source of the heart.
"After reaching the 100th floor, the pace of the game slowed down significantly... Just to not be eliminated, to participate in the officially arranged confrontation within the specified time limit, no wonder I haven't heard of it... This is no different from the entertainment industry, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and if you don't show up for a few days, it's easy to be forgotten... Not to mention him..."
Hazy muttered.
Then he stepped aside, turned on the landline, and dialed a number, "Hello, I need a video of Yungu's past matches." ”
After a while, there was a knock on the door and something he needed.
Very efficient.
Hazy began to play a roll of videotape, observing.
By night, he had read them all.
"Yungu... His style belongs to the traditional martial arts school, one board and one eye, the moves are a little rusty, and the timing of the shot is not too mature... Obviously, before coming to the Sky Arena, there was already some tempering... But... Not enough. ”
"A hundred floors later... It can be seen that he is also learning the strengths of various martial arts schools and absorbing experience... The schedule slows down later, and every once in a while I reappear, and the growth is obvious... The reason why the pace has been slowed down is that it is merging... To enrich himself, he must be carrying out some kind of training in a limited interval..."
"So... Biscug must be here! ”
"He must be a person who can read, and he doesn't need to read... Most of them have the same idea as me, relying solely on physical bodies and martial arts to fight, which is probably what Bisji asks of him! ”
"I just learned to read... But don't you have much combat experience? …”
Hazy turned off the TV, holding the remote control in his hand and squinting his eyes.
What a coincidence!
"Hehe... Hope you can give me some fun. ”
Hao moved his fingers, since they met, it's not a good fun, I can't say it's okay.
The corners of his mouth curled up.
