District 118 was packed with people. It was just after noon. Even if something like this happened in the Public Security Office, it was nothing to many people.
Some news media only reported a few fragments of the accident, and soon the news was completely overshadowed by the lively atmosphere in District 118.
Today is a happy day for many people, because the representative of the Lexiao Association announced that some large-scale activities to promote the quality of life and entertainment in the lower-level areas are about to begin.
The event is open to the whole city, but the event locations are all located in the ten districts on the ground floor. Each event is funded by the administrative department, with one million for each event.
The first thing many people thought of was the bonus, and many people speculated on what the bonus event was. Some middle- and upper-level professionals who participated in this bounty event gathered together.
It's just that it will be announced later, because Le Xiao has to host the mutant competition today, and today is the last day of the competition. Some people have made money, and some have lost money until they took off their pants.
Because this year is different from previous years. In the past, all major gaming companies were winners, but it is different now. Just yesterday, several gaming companies have filed for bankruptcy. But since they have lost money, according to the laws of Brilliant City, they must be held responsible to the end.
, fill the hole of losing money.
Section 7 has paid the money lost by these bankrupt gambling companies, and then the employees of these gambling companies, from high to low, will be in debt until the money is paid off.
This mechanism for pursuing bankrupt companies was established when Li Ang became section chief many years ago, and was eventually upgraded to the level of law.
In the past, many companies owed large amounts of debt due to company failure, especially due to the deprivation of many stockholders in the stock market. Many such companies were just empty shells when they filed for bankruptcy and were liquidated.
But in the end, most of the people in charge were unable to repay their debts, some went to jail, and some even died without repaying them. In the end, these debts lasted too long and were difficult to deal with at all.
But it is different now. Any company that files for bankruptcy will first pay off all the money owed by the company. Then everyone in the company will be in debt. The debt will be distributed to everyone based on 7 Branch's on-site investigation.
Even ordinary employees are the same, but ordinary employees bear much lower debts than those at the decision-making level.
Section 7 will not immediately confiscate the assets of these debtors, but will give them a certain amount of space to make a comeback, pay off their debts, and provide a certain amount of loans.
If they no longer want to work and repay the money, they will be sent to work in the agricultural department. After leaving a salary that is enough to live on every month, the rest of the money will be used to pay off debts.
The current system has become much more user-friendly and is no longer as cold as in the past. However, this is only for large companies. Many people who want to get personal loans to tide over difficulties have difficulty in getting 7-section loans.
Many people are puzzled because in the past, gaming companies did not lose so miserably, but this year is different. The odds given by gaming companies are extremely low, and they dare not raise the odds because they are not sure.
There have been many upsets in the arena competition. People who clearly had average overall statistics during the mutant promotion exam easily defeated their opponents in the arena.
It was the appearance of these few games in succession that led to the bookmakers considering going out of business. There had long been rumors on the streets that mutants had cheated on their promotion exams in the past.
The gaming company has been behind the scenes to manipulate such cheating, which has resulted in the gaming company making very high profits every year through the mutant promotion exam.
The temporary adjustments ordered by Michelle before this year's exam may have disrupted such a cheating cycle, making the future unpredictable. That's why the gaming company will only invite some people from the Mutant Guild this year to conduct on-site combat analysis and then make adjustments.
Odds.
Many ordinary people have won thousands of dollars by watching games every day, which is very happy for many people. In the past, many people would lose hundreds or even thousands every year, even if they lost more but won less.
9 a.m.
With the eager ringing of the bell, today's quarter-finals officially began. Le Xiao raised her hands and cheered on the sidelines. She liked this kind of passionate scene the best.
The two people on the stage took action. They were busy with low-level work these days. Le Xiao didn't even watch the mutant promotion test arena competition these days. The two people on the stage were fighting. As expected, their level was higher than that of the top 16.
Too much.
On the stage was a small man with a similar build to Le Xiao, named Li Dan. His grades in the promotion exam were average, but he was hiding his strength. The mutant opposite him was an A2 mutant, close to S level, but Li Dan
Dan did not fall behind at all in front of him.
The two were constantly colliding on the metal ring, and the two sides were fighting back and forth. However, many experienced S-class mutants on the sidelines could see that Li Dan did not use his full strength, but was more like guiding.
The opponent's attacks were average and he completely controlled the rhythm of the fight on the field.
Several people from the bookmaking company immediately began to adjust the odds. They deliberately raised the odds of Li Dan's opponent. As expected, many people soon placed bets because they felt that Li Dan was facing
It is impossible to win against a big man like his opponent. Winning or losing is just a matter of time.
Li Dan constantly dodged and defended against the opponent's fierce offensive. The reddish scabs on his body broke from time to time. Li Dan knew very well that the other party was anxious, because the other party had realized that his strength was far superior to his. He was so powerful.
His attack is just to force himself to make a mistake, and then use telekinesis to force himself out of the ring.
Li Dan, who sensed the opponent's intentions, nimbly dodged sideways at the moment when the opponent pushed hard with his fists, quickly rushed forward, and escaped to the middle of the ring.
Seeing that the forcing tactic failed, the big man immediately ejected towards Li Dan. If he wanted to continue to block him, he would always find an opportunity. This time, Li Dan showed no mercy. At the moment when the mutant was about to approach him, Li Dan suddenly launched an attack on him.
He raised his left hand lightly, dodged the mutant's fist, and then turned his knife to hit the mutant's head hard.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There was a loud bang, and the big man fell to the field foaming at the mouth. The 4th Department personnel outside the field immediately came over for emergency treatment.
Li Dan's speed is very fast, and his strength is just right. These are all developed by Li Dan in Department 2. Chief R has very strict control over the details of the use of mutant abilities.
In the past, Li Dan only slept 4 hours a day, leaving 1 hour to eat. The rest of the time was spent honing his combat abilities. He was very good at strength, telekinesis, and the level of mutants of all levels. He was considered a 2nd subject in recent years.
fighting genius.
Li Dan raised his hands with a smile, welcoming the cheers, but in his mind, he thought about being easily beaten to the ground by Jean with a knife, and he looked at Secretary Le of Department 13 on the sidelines with some grudges.
Xiao.
How can I be like these monsters?
The announcer at the scene explained the game with great enthusiasm, likening the game to a difficult fight. At the last moment, the small Li Dan won the game with difficulty, and many reporters and CBV directors were talking about it.
Turn, turned to Le Xiao's side.
"Secretary Le Xiao, please comment on this game."
Li Dan looked at Le Xiao blankly. Le Xiao's scalp was numb. All she could do was babbling and shouting "Come on." Although she had seen a lot of battles, she couldn't comment on it.
Le Xiao was so furious that she thought of the battle between Jean and Alpha a few days ago. After thinking about the battle just now, she blurted out.
"It was a great fight, but it was still a little too weak."
Le Xiao's speech made many people around him praise him. Only then did Le Xiao realize what he was talking about and hurriedly explained.
"What I mean is that both of them performed perfectly at their current level, but the outcome is unpredictable."
Li Dan looked at Le Xiao helplessly and said that he was too weak. He was actually very distressed. However, Li Dan quickly stepped down and did not feel that there was anything wrong with Le Xiao's speech, because in that kind of possession
In front of monsters with the power of the three-color god, the strength of S-class mutants is nothing more than paper.
Le Xiao was a little uneasy. She was the only secretary today. What should she do if she was asked to comment next? She could only recall some past news reports in her mind, as long as they were similar.
At this time, where the wealthy people gathered on the second floor outside the stadium, Snowden, the president of the Pattern Guild, was staring at Li Dan. Many people were interested in Li Dan. Someone had already offered a high price. Snowden planned to wait until the game was over, no matter what.
Whether Li Dan can win the championship, I will contact him and have a good discussion. After all, any young man is willing to make more money while he is young.
Snowden looked at Le Xiao on the sidelines, and the vice president Carrie walked over with a smile.
"This kind of petty quarrel is probably just a joke in the eyes of those secretaries."
Snowden grinned slightly.
"But for the rich, it's a very interesting entertainment."
The two started organizing the underground death fighting arena four years ago and it was very successful. Now that they saw the fresh seeds, they were naturally excited.
"I'll go down and talk to him."
Snowden said and started to go downstairs. After a while, Snowden came to the players' lounge and entered as a facilitator of the mutant promotion test. He quickly found Li Dan's lounge. There were many reporters outside the door.
, all seem to want to interview Li Dan.
"Get out of the way, everyone, I have something to discuss with Mr. Li Dan inside."
Many reporters knew how powerful Snowden was. After all, he had won the championship in this arena. After knocking on the door, Li Dan stuck his head out and said angrily.
"I told you I wouldn't accept interviews."
"I am the president of the Pattern Guild, Snowden."
Snowden called up his business card, and Li Dan asked Snowden to come in.
"Mr. Li Dan, congratulations on advancing to the semi-finals."
"If you have anything to say, I want to take a nap."
Li Dan said directly that he had already begun to take stock of this man, because Section 2 had been investigating them, but no evidence or evidence had been found yet. They were suspected of participating in black market transactions, and it was no longer a day or two.
The people in this Patterned Mutant Guild are powerful, even comparable to Lightning Skeletons, but everything in their guild is based on business considerations. It is a relatively large S-level mutant guild, with 76 S-level mutants in the guild, and 138
A Class A mutant.
The three departments have recruited them several times in the past, but they have been indifferent. They can be regarded as the old mutant guild in Brilliant City.
"Mr. Li Dan, I will tell you directly, if you want to make money, you can contact me after the game is over."
Li Dan received Snowden's business card, and Snowden stood up to leave.
