Or is it a prop to improve the favorability of a certain character?

A long-lost sense of freshness flooded into Li Cheng's mind. He looked at the uncle and quietly turned the cover of the notebook.

His pupils suddenly shrank into a dot.

Inside was a rather old erotic novel, and the paper was all patinated.

Li Cheng: "..."

The excitement on his face faded a little bit. He chuckled twice and looked at the uncle with empty eyes: "Is this the reward for the mission?"

"Reward? Don't worry, I haven't used this to reward myself." The uncle showed a sincere look again: "After all, it's not easy for me to get it, and I cherish it very much."

Li Cheng: "..."

He wanted to throw the erotic novel back, but when he thought that it was at least an easter egg, he put it away.

Then, he stood up and stretched.

And the clock on the wall also went to the last minute.

"Brother, I..."

"Okay, you won't die, at least not today, so don't put a flag on yourself." Li Cheng walked towards the competition channel of the arena: "And I don't smelt copper, and I'm not interested in your daughter."

"Brother, how do you know that I... I won't die?" The uncle said tremblingly.

"Because today, I'm the first to appear." Li Cheng tilted his head slightly: "No enemy can see you alive."

Li Cheng's back disappeared in the sunlight, which was very dazzling. The uncle couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands, looking confused:

"No, no enemy can see me? What, what do you mean?"

About half a minute later, the uncle came to his senses belatedly, stood up suddenly, and chased to the entrance in disbelief:

"Could it be, could it be that the brother wants to solve all ten enemies today by himself?"

"How is this possible?"

"Isn't he a newcomer like me?"

Chapter 27 No one is optimistic about Li Cheng's challenge

Inside the arena.

VIP seats

"Manager Hake, good morning, what brings you here today!"

"Is there any special match today?"

When everyone saw Hake, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, coming over, they quickly stood up and made way.

"Nothing, just wanted to come and see, to taste the excitement of blood after a long time."

Hake smiled and greeted his colleagues, and his face always had an elegant and subtle smile.

This is also the illusion that Hake gave to all those who were not familiar with him-a kind and kind gentleman.

But in fact, his hands were stained with the blood of countless people, organ trading, human trafficking, gambling fraud...all the dark side of Storm King City has his footprints.

And he came to the arena to watch the game today, of course, not casually.

He came for Li Cheng.

The spy reported that the assassin sent to deal with Hughes Dahl yesterday failed.

If it was just that, it would be fine, but the most annoying thing is that I don’t know which bastard told the Dark Brotherhood about the news that he secretly released.

Now, the group of idiots who only care about money can't find Hughes Dahl, but come to him instead.

They also threatened that if they don't give them an explanation, they will send Huck to see his dead grandmother.

As the saying goes, the arrogant are afraid of the stupid, and the stupid are afraid of the desperate. The idiots of the Dark Brotherhood are the desperate ones.

Huck really has no way to deal with them.

So, they must be given an explanation.

And the best explanation is the head of the defeated Li Cheng.

Hughes Dahl will not bet on Li Cheng for no reason. There must be some relationship between the two, either good friends or partners.

No matter which one it is, death is the only ending that Li Cheng allows today.

Having said that, Huck is still a little uneasy.

After all, he is not sure what level this Li Cheng is.

If he fails to take down Li Cheng, his life will be in jeopardy...

"Hahaha, Manager Hake is not here just to take a look today!"

At this moment, a male voice sounded, and another manager of the arena smiled flatteringly: "Manager Hake, I am here to see that stupid idiot Li Cheng who doesn't know how to live or die!"

Hake: "..."

"Don't know how to live or die? What do you mean?" Others became interested.

"That Li Cheng actually plans to challenge a series of ten kings. Do you think he is a fool?" The manager laughed heartily.

"Pfft, is there really a newcomer who wants to do this? Isn't this equivalent to suicide?"

"That's right!" The manager laughed even harder, and while talking, he didn't forget to flatter Huck:

"Manager Huck must have come here to see that guy's joke, after all, there are blind gamblers who bet 40 magic emblem stones on that guy!"

"More than 40? This is not a small amount!"

"Yes, but his gambling money is doomed to be lost. After all, our Lord Huck, who is so smart and has a plan, will never let this happen!" The manager continued to flatter:

"He wants to make money under the nose of our Manager Huck, but he doesn't even take a piss to see who he is!"

Hearing this, the expressions on everyone's faces were stunned.

Then they all showed regretful expressions.

Good guy, it turns out that this guy's previous long string was all foreshadowing, and in the end it was just for this last paragraph of flattery!

You want to improve too much, right?

Why aren’t we as good at flattering as you?

"Haha, you're right." On the other side, Hake almost had a cerebral hemorrhage, but in order to maintain his persona, he could only smile perfunctorily.

To be honest, he felt that his subordinate was simply a fool.

If he was really sure, would he come to the arena?

Wouldn't it be better to stay in his mansion and hang out with the bunny girl secretaries?

But the manager thought Hake was really happy, and followed him around nodding and bowing, not noticing that he was flattering the horse's hoof.

Hake looked at the man's flattering smile, and the more he looked, the more disgusted he felt.

He thought to himself that if this happened, he would have to castrate this blind guy and give him to those psychopathic nobles.

Having said that, this flattering bastard still reminded Hake, and he sat in his main seat and waved to his confidant beside him.

"Sir."

"Send Lei to the first match with Li Cheng."

"Sir, Lei is a 100-win player. Isn't it a bit too embarrassing to do this?" The waiter said respectfully.

The original plan was to send Lei to deal with Li Cheng after he won 7 games in a row.

If he was sent in the first game, it would seem like he was deliberately targeting him. Although it was indeed targeted.

"It doesn't matter. It's time to let these ignorant bastards know the price of provoking the arena. In addition, notify the other 100-win players to be prepared. If Lei fails, then..."

Huck closed his eyes and made a throat-cutting gesture.

The night is long and dreams are many. Since you have chosen to take action and go to the gambling table, you must do your best from the beginning and don't leave any luck.

This is Huck's way of dealing with the world.

"Yes, sir." The waiter retreated respectfully.

"Well, if so, it should be foolproof." Huck elegantly picked up the red wine glass and took a sip.

Ten undefeated players as opponents, this is a standard that has never been seen in the duel arena for hundreds of years.

——

At the back of the VIP seats, a lady who was covered in a robe with only blue vertical pupils exposed smiled inconspicuously.

"It's really ugly, Hake. Although I don't care what happens in the arena, it's a bit too dirty for you to bully a newcomer like this."

It was none other than the queen of the arena and even the Storm King City - the blue dragon of the hurricane, Ms. Liuli.

Liuli, who was tortured by the curse of the abyss and was in great pain, had already intended to die.

She had no attachment to anything in this world. After accompanying the Abyss Eye Witch to the end of her journey, her life was almost coming to an end.

And the Full Moon Academy was the grave she had chosen for herself.

So, Liuli naturally didn't care about the little tricks Hake played behind her.

After all, she was about to die.

She came to the arena today just because she accidentally sensed the breath of the dragon.

After listening to the conversation just now, Liuli's mood did not fluctuate at all.

Since the abyss erosion began, the world has changed.

Countless innocent people die every day, and Li Cheng is just one of those unfortunate ones.

Yes, Liuli didn't think Li Cheng would win from the bottom of his heart.

Because he had to face the ten-game winning battle of all the 100-win players in the Storm City Arena.

You know, the rule of the Storm City Arena is that the strength of all those who enter the venue will be limited to level 3 (LV30) or below.

Victory does not rely on the crushing of strength, but on genuine combat skills.

And the ten-game winning battle is the most terrifying battle feast in the arena.

There is no supply, no rest, and even no time to breathe.

Some have only one opponent in full state one after another.

No gladiator can survive in such a round-robin battle.

The champion's stick, which has been hung on the high platform of the arena as a prize since the emergence of the ten-game system, has not waited for his owner to this day.

Moreover, every one of Li Cheng's enemies this time is a 100-win player.

His death has long been a foregone conclusion.

——

General audience seats.

The girl in a tattered cloak is holding a betting slip in her hand, staring closely at the arena below.

Her mother is on the verge of death because of black ant disease.

And her father, for her mother, resolutely went to the arena.

She is only 17 years old, knows nothing, can't do anything.

But she knows that her idiot father is a waste, and he will only be hacked to death if he goes to the arena.

So, she stole the last 50 gold coins from her father and bet on Li Cheng.

The odds are 1 to 12.9.

If Li Cheng wins, her mother's disease can be cured, and her father doesn't have to go to the arena.

Their family can continue to live happily.

If Li Cheng loses, his father will definitely die, and of course his mother will die too.

Then what's the point of her living?
