Section 10: Manipulation

Bloody Arena, Infield, Venue 3.

Looking from the entrance of the infield, I saw a dense crowd of people crowded into every corner. Most of them are serious in-house spectators, of course, a small number of them are mixed in through various methods of ticket evasion.

At this time, the third arena was bustling with activity, and everyone looked at the empty fighting ring with anticipation.

Today is the sixth day of the Bloody Brawl League [Test Week] and the penultimate day until the start of the Bloody Brawl main event.

After the first two rounds of screening during the test week, only 14 of the 30 newcomers selected this year survived and were able to survive the third test.

In the battle against the monsters, this number is undoubtedly staggering. However, for the organizers of the Bloody Brawl League, this number is far from cruel enough.

"We're going to increase the elimination rate!" these were the words of the official president of the league, the stunning second son of the Roddick family, to the audience after the second round of battles.

Undoubtedly, this sentence piqued people's curiosity, and before the third battle began, all infield tickets were sold out.

They wanted to see that the remaining fourteen newcomers were about to face such a cruel challenge.

According to the gossip circulating in private, it is said that this time the second son of the Roddick family is determined to suppress the number of people who will participate in the final competition to less than ten!

After all, there were too many old people who survived last season's bloody brawl, and Moira, the only champion who could leave as a free agent, unexpectedly chose to continue competing. In this way, there are eight old men in Season 8 - and that's not all, you know, although you will never be able to leave the horror of bloody brawl if you win the championship, there are still people who survive in various ways.

Among the contestants who didn't have to participate in Test Week, there were two more people, one from Season Seven, and the other was even more exaggerated, that guy was a newcomer to Season 5 and had survived four years of bloody brawl. Although the combat effectiveness is relatively weak. But the experience is very rich.

In this way, the total number of veteran players is more than ten. If there are too many newcomers, it is easy to distract the audience during the main match of the bloody brawl. At the same time for the bookmaker and the Roddick family. It is also not conducive to operating the handicap to strive for excess profits.

It is for this reason. People are looking forward to the upcoming third round of screening battles.

After all, they want to forcibly increase the elimination rate. You can only add some strong opponents to the enemies of the players in the third round.

A lot of the time, the gore brawl audience doesn't really pay much attention to the fellow human players. Instead, I'm more interested in the mysterious monsters that may appear.

On the tunnel of Court 3, Lance was sitting on a bench, hiding himself in the shadows, quietly listening to the noise coming from outside the court.

He hated it so much.

The whole league of bloody brawls is a commercial show, and its rules seem clear, but there are still many potential rules in it. After having a strong strength, Lance prefers to play according to his own rules, but some procedures must be followed, and if you want to get 100,000 quantum coins, you have to win the championship.

No matter how troublesome the process was, he still had to endure it.

"Mr. Reims, the crowd is already seated, five minutes at most, and the third round of the battle is about to begin. ”

The young staff member nervously ran over and said so.

For ordinary people like them, these fighters who participated in the bloody brawl were undoubtedly very powerful and terrifying. There was once an arrogant guy who was disrespectful to a fighter who participated in a bloody brawl, only to have half of his body torn off by the guy with a temper as hot as a bull. Although the contestant died at the hands of the Roddick family's mercenary hero, it was a reminder that the guys involved in the bloody brawl were a bunch of lunatics and a bunch of ticking time bombs.

Lance nodded, and took a document from the other party's hand.

Five minutes before the start of the game, it was allowed to be told the enemy's information, which was an old trick of bloody brawl.

Lance skimmed through the paper manuscript in his hand slightly, and his face suddenly changed slightly.

"Is this to restrain my speed......

Lance sneered as he looked at the image on the profile and the few descriptive words.

Two minutes later, a continuous electronic sound came from the ring.

Lance calmly stepped out of the shadows and walked down the path of the athlete's tunnel to the ring.

......

In the first row of the audience, the man in sunglasses and the priest Lincoln watched the game up close as always.

After the first battle, the two men seemed to have an indescribable interest in Lance, and they watched every battle Lance played. Compared to the man in sunglasses, who wanted to use Lance's value to make a fortune in gambling, Reverend Lincoln's motives were a bit odd.

At least in the eyes of his companions, the old fellow had never shown such fanaticism for a man.

"Five seconds for the first enemy, thirty-five seconds for the second, and today it's the third. I wonder how long his enemies will last?" said the man in sunglasses as he watched Lance walk up to the ring with some excitement.

There was a deafening cheer behind him - Lance's clean and clean fighting style in the previous two fights had amassed him a loyal following. Some people just like his fast-flowing fighting style, and for most female viewers, Lance's handsome appearance quickly appeals to them.

So much so that in today's third round of the game, the No. 3 court where Lance is located turned out to be the most full.

Lincoln looked at Lance silently, and suddenly took out a silver cross from his bosom, held it in his palm and whispered a few words.

"Murphy, how much did you buy this time?" asked the priest.

The man in sunglasses smiled slightly: "Ten thousand quantum coins." ”

"The Roddick family allows you to buy so much?" said Lincoln, a little surprised.

Murphy laughed: "The bookmaker has limited the maximum bet amount, and if you want to buy Lance to win, the betting limit for each person is one thousand quantum coins." But I found nine other people and bet on their behalf. This time, I'm definitely going to make a big profit. ”

Lincoln nodded slightly, and just as he was about to say something, the man in sunglasses suddenly noticed the silver cross in his hand, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Isn't this the cross that your father gave you when he died?"

Lincoln nodded silently, then put the silver cross away.

"Old man, there's been something wrong with you lately. Murphy asked with concern, "Is something wrong?"

"No, you're overthinking. Lincoln smiled, "I'm just thinking about something...... In the universe, there are always things that seem unrelated, but they are closely connected. I've encountered something interesting, but I'm still observing. ”

As he spoke, his eyes as he looked at Lance on the stage slightly became expectant.

"Well, something that will interest you will definitely make me doze off when I hear it. ”

Murphy shook his head and said, "I only care about how much I can earn this time." ”

"Maybe you won't make a penny. ”

At this moment, Lincoln's face suddenly changed slightly, and he pointed to the big cage that was slowly descending on the stage and said, "Oh my God! It's actually this monster!"

......

When the huge cage arrived, everyone held their breath.

The cage is transparent, so they can clearly see what's inside. It was a huge shadow, clumped together, like a piece of wood twisted together, without threat. However, only the most venomous hunter can distinguish it from the countless trees of the vast forest.

"It's the monster!"

"Two years ago, I broke into the southern part of the old mine and killed more than thirty people, including two C-rank heroes!"

"Do Roddick's guys really want to increase the elimination rate? But that's a trick, isn't it?

In the audience, a burst of dissatisfaction suddenly erupted.

This similar technique has also been used in the pre-Bloody Brawl contest - a popular contestant is too popular, and the audience buys him to win, only to encounter an unprecedentedly powerful opponent in the next match. This method was undoubtedly very inferior, but since the Roddick family had almost no position in the city, no one dared to resist them.

On the other hand, Roddick himself doesn't seem to be very happy to use this tactic too obviously. It's as obvious as this, probably for the second time.

For most viewers, according to Lance's registration information, he is just a D-class hero, although it seems that he should hide his strength, but he is not the opponent of the monster in front of him!

When the cage slowly opened and the behemoth slowly moved out of it, the audience's dissatisfaction suddenly climbed to the highest point.

They began to cheer wildly, and the atmosphere in the stadium suddenly became a little unpleasant.

"On the third field, immediately send one and two teams to maintain order. In the main control room of the fighting arena, a man in civilian clothes sat on a chair and gave an order with a walkie-talkie.

After he said this, he suddenly turned around and smiled at the little girl in purple behind him: "I don't know if this arrangement can satisfy you." ”

"Lady Katarina?"

Caterina sneered, "Forest dragon, is this the most powerful monster you have ever had?"

Roddick's face froze: "Do you think this is not enough to kill the whole of Lance?"

"Nope. It's a joke!" Caterina said coldly, "no matter how disgusting he is, he is also my student." ”

"This forest giant of yours can't force him to be true at all. (To be continued......)
