No matter what world you are in, the level of difficulty in acquiring wealth is not equal for people.

The more brutal the world, the more so.

While the sudden quantum storm completely pushed humanity into the abyss, it also caused the polarization of this race.

The weak either die or become slaves of the strong. And the truly powerful will have a qiē.

And in Roddick City, this is clearly on display.

While human settlements such as Roddick and now Manhattan claim to be places of order - that's only relative to the more chaotic and terrifying wilderness. In these places of order, there are also many dark corners.

The law of the jungle is equally profound among its kind, but sometimes, in a more tactful way.

In the northeastern part of Roddick City, a huge egg-shaped building lies quietly, and people gather in large numbers in the square outside the building—those who have only bought tickets for the plaza can only choose to stare intently at the big screen above them. On the other hand, a smaller screen is in charge of another small force - as one of the few big bookmakers in Roddick City, such an event is the perfect time to make money.

After paying a lot of money for the tickets, everyone in the audience doesn't care about spending a little more money to have fun - what if they get it right? Maybe it's worth the ticket price.

On the small screen, the names of individuals scrolled through, some with captions and past records, while others were blank on the information - apparently a newcomer.

"Every newcomer has to make the most of the time they don't get known. After all, now their opponents don't know anything about them. ”

In the square, a man in a suit with a big belly holding a beer mug laughed, "Let's see what new faces will be there this year!"

"What's the use of saying that?" said a slender man beside him disapplausively, "Although there are masters among the newcomers, I am afraid that they will soon be defeated in front of Moira, the champion of the previous season." In fact, last season's bloody brawl was really boring enough. With her superpowers, Moira swept through a number of opponents, including an army!"

"Yes. So I bought her this time. The man in the suit smiled lewdly: "Those newcomers who volunteered to sign up must have their heads burned." ”

At this moment, the big screen that had been playing the hot dance of some scantily clad girls on a loop suddenly flashed, and the next second, a man in exaggerated clothes suddenly appeared on the screen.

It looked like he was standing on a circular stage. The sound of his movements is as exaggerated as his look:

"Welcome, welcome, welcome to Roddick City Season 9 [Bloody Brawl]!"

The audience below. There was a round of applause.

The host smiled exaggeratedly: "I know you're not here to see me...... Please, this is the ninth year. The bloody brawls of the past have brought a lot of fun to everyone, and even if you are a rookie who has just arrived here, you can also consult the elders around you. So let's skip this part directly. Next. I'm sure you can't wait – there's no need to rush. Before introducing some rookie players. Let's start with those old faces. ”

"First of all, the third place winner of the last year's Bloody Brawl - Eisen Calderón!"

There was a round of applause.

......

"Every opening battle in Bloody Brawl is boring. Introduce the top three - but there are so many people who survived the eighth class, which probably has something to do with the way Moira fights. "On the square. The man in the suit said disapprerovingly: "I just don't understand why Moira continues to compete." Didn't she win the championship? The rest of the people were forced to participate, and she was able to leave. ”

"Who knows? Maybe she's making more money? After all, the champion of each season of Bloody Brawl can get more than 100,000 quantum coins. His companion exclaimed, "Skip these parts, I can't wait to see the newcomers fight." ”

After half an hour, the people in the square began to get their wish - after the introduction of the top three players of the previous edition, the information of the newcomers was put on the table. The big screen is divided into thirty pieces, and each small screen is big enough.

On every screen, there are unfamiliar faces fighting in a specially designed fighting arena.

Only thirty new recruits are recruited each year, which is the rule of bloody brawls. And the old people who survived the last session, except for the champion who can choose to take the prize money and leave this cruel league, the rest of the people will either die or survive by luck and participate in the next session.

The good thing is that the fighters of the previous class don't have to be tested like the newcomers - for example, now, while the old men of the previous class are resting in the locker room, this year's thirty newcomers are fighting monsters in small arenas.

This is Roddick City's famous Bloody Brawl League. The tournament was run by the second son of the patriarch of the Roddick family, and it was his original idea - but it is said that in a private interview, the famous young master of the Roddick family admitted that the idea came from a century-old novel that he had collected by chance - but in any case, with the first season of Bloody Brawl perfectly organized, the high profits (including ticket sales, bookmakers' profit sharing, etc.) made the Roddick family immediately decide to continue the league.

And the winner's prize has also increased year by year from 20,000 quantum coins at the beginning, and now, it has become a huge amount of money - 100,000 quantum coins!

Along with this process, the level of the contestants also got higher and higher, all the way to last season's champion Moira, who was at least a B-rank hero in the Aegis's hero evaluation system!

You must know that the winner of the first season, the man who was named "Tough Guy with a Broken Arm", is just a level that has just touched the threshold of C-level heroes.

Bloody brawls are held once a year, usually in mid-December, and last about two weeks. The first week is the Week of Trials for the newcomers, who must go through three fierce battles over six days before they can stand on the highest stage.

And the second week, the real bloody brawl begins. Ambitious newcomers and seasoned veterans will fight to the death in an unknown setting, which will be recorded by the Roddick family with the latest camera technology to satisfy the audience's visual enjoyment.

In fact, every time a bloody brawl unfolds, not only Roddick City, but also nearby Manhattan Island and the rest of the world pay a large royalty to broadcast the league progress.

On the east coast of the North American continent, it's almost a day of revelry after another tough year.

And for those who are cornered, but happen to have some superpowers, it is also an excellent opportunity to fight for their lives.

If he can win the championship, then the prize money of 100,000 quantum coins will be used for him to squander for many days.

......

Inside the egg-shaped building, there are countless small fighting arenas. The audience in the infield can choose the newcomers they want to lock up at any time and see their battle progress.

Today is the first day of Test Week, and thirty newcomers who have joined the Bloody Brawl League for various reasons will face their first enemy.

Generally speaking, newcomers who can be accepted into bloody brawls are not much weaker. And for the sake of the box office, the league organizers will also properly release water on the first enemy side to ensure a certain survival rate - of course, there are exceptions.

"That skinny kid in Arena Seven, does this guy look completely fucking malnourished? Can such a person participate in the Bloody Brawl? What are the Roddick family doing?! The last season's competition was not very good, I think the Bloody Brawl is not as good as a year. ”

In the infield audience, a man in sunglasses shook his head while munching on popcorn and said, "In my experience, his first enemy gives him a maximum of thirty seconds to survive." ”

Ten seconds later, the red light outside Arena 6 went out instantly.

Those familiar with the rules of the bloody brawl know that this means the death of the number six.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the man in sunglasses and his partner to walk out scolding.

"What the hell! I overestimated him!" said the man in sunglasses dissatisfied, "This guy is probably the first person to die this year, right? Died at the hands of a rampaging orangutan? ”

"May God bless him. Beside him stood a man who looked like a priest, with a look of compassion.

The man in sunglasses sneered and said, "Lincoln, after the quantum storm came, God abandoned us. ”

"God will only abandon those who have no faith. Pastor Lincoln said steadily.

The man in sunglasses snorted: "It's really boring to take this guy of you to watch the bloody brawl." Okay, that's where Arena Six is my choice, so it's up to you to decide the next one, right? I don't want to see the boring scene of a skinny, outrageous teenager having half of his head cut off by a chimpanzee again. ”

Pastor Lincoln was silent for a moment, and said as if he had something in his heart, "Twenty-six, right?"

"Twenty-six?" The man in sunglasses took out a form from his arms and flipped through it a few times before finally nodding and saying:

"Well, let's go over and see how this guy named Lance is. Hope you don't let me down. ”

......

In Arena 26, Lance was standing bored on the ring.

The entire arena is made of reinforced memory metal, which repairs itself as long as no damage occurs during combat.

Just two minutes ago, he had just gotten his opponent's information, and it was said that he was an outlier captured by the Roddick family.

A mechanical modifier. (To be continued......)
