Four hundred and twentieth chapters decadent gladiatorial game
Yanni was a little surprised. She was already ready to wait for the other party to ask for support, but she never expected that it would be such a simple request. After a slight pause, she asked with a smile: "How much do you want?"
"If you can, of course you want as many as possible! But who said the upper limit of those profiteers is only 100 million? Although you can find a few people to spread the bets, but there is too much hot money, they will also lower the odds, or even directly
It’s a locked deposit. I estimate that around one billion should be enough to get the maximum benefit. When the God of War Festival is over, I will give you two billion back.”
Yamida thought for two seconds and understood what the other party meant: "You actually want to play gambling? Bet on yourself?"
“If everything is inevitable, then why not make the noise as big as possible and maximize the benefits?” Yu Lian said with a smile.
“But if you die there, wouldn’t this billion be wasted?”
"However, if I win, you will get twice the income, and I am sincerely grateful! You can get twice the income in such a short period of time. Even if you are playing hedging, you will have such a rate of return. You guys
Don’t investors also have to learn to evaluate risks? If you don’t even have the awareness to take risks, how can you be a capitalist?”
Since the girl opposite wanted to act like a black-hearted capitalist, Yu Lian was not afraid to act like a rogue Party B.
After pondering for a moment, Miss Yamida couldn't help but feel happy: "...Some economists say that we capitalists are actually a vulnerable group. I think that guy is like a dog. Now I am willing to believe it."
"You were not wrong before, that kind of person was just a dog. But you are not wrong now, because from your standpoint, you have to hold your nose and believe it." Yu Lian sneered.
The two quickly stopped communicating in this area with a tacit understanding, and Yu Lian lit an ebony stone scepter and began to chat about some random topics, and even mentioned Mr. Qi's new movie Yani.
She was very interested in saying that since it was Mr. Qi's movie, she was very invested. If Mr. Qi was willing, he could film it in the Alliance. After all, the personnel, equipment, and venues there were much more professional than those in the Community. It just couldn't be done.
, we can also jointly shoot two flowers together.
Yu Lian thinks it would be good to use the alliance's money to make his own works. If they get a taste of the benefits, he might be able to magically modify some of his works such as "The Orphans of Nephi" and "Old Man Bei", and they will blossom together with the alliance.
.How fun that would be!
Of course, after all, Mr. Qi has the final say in this matter.
Before Yu Lian had even removed half of the ebony scepter from his hand, one billion had arrived. This once again filled Yu Lian's heart with uncontrollable class hatred.
You know, this is cash! This is really this girl’s pocket money!
Well, since it is pocket money, I will adopt the attitude of dealing with pocket money. Yu Lian casually took out a piece of notebook paper and wrote an IOU with a pen.
The legal effect of this thing is actually very questionable, but Yani, who is wealthy and wealthy, just accepted it with a smile, as if she was lending ten yuan to a friend to buy milk tea.
Then the two of them said goodbye.
As soon as Yani left, Yu Lian calmed down. He smoked most of the remaining cigar and carefully considered the other party's words. Although there were suspicions of free confession or even deception and intimidation, this kind of thing was still more credible.
Some of it.
In this case, let’s make a strategy.
He didn’t even return to the embassy. He first went to a nearby cafeteria owned by Cathays with high quality and low prices to fill his stomach, and then found a secluded and clean hotel.
This is the 250th World War God Festival in the history of the Dawn Dynasty, but it is also the most grand one in a century. The rules of the competition were announced half a year ago.
The battlefield covers the largest continent on the ancient Meiya planet, covering an area of more than 80 million square kilometers.
There are mountains, canyons, rivers and wilderness, but more than 70% of the area is covered by various jungles.
After nearly two thousand years of environmental restoration and transformation by the empire, all artificial traces of the ancient Meiya civilization on this planet have been completely erased. A large number of alien animals and plants have also been transplanted, including a considerable number of fantasy creatures.
species of animals.
Now, except for the general outlines of the continents, the entire planet is still there, but the landform has undergone tremendous changes. Even if the ancient Meiya people came back here two thousand years ago, they probably would not be able to recognize this planet.
So far, a total of more than 34,000 teams have signed up for the competition, and the total number of people has exceeded 200,000. Therefore, in order to ensure broadcast safety, the Empire organizers prepared large and small equipment for filming, warning, and preemption.
There are more than 100,000 robots of various types used for rescue and riot control. In addition, there are twelve support bases on the ground on standby. In the sky of the planet, there are also dozens of rescue ships of various types patrolling on a daily basis.
After all, it has become a sports meeting. The reason why so many people participate is that in addition to bonuses and honors, immortality is also a very important reason.
Of course, if it were an ancient war god festival, the participants would not be treated like this, and if they died, they would die.
Like previous games, the God of War Festival is also based on points. As the team progresses, it will gain points by hunting certain beasts, or by changing hands with more powerful players. Points will be awarded if the other teams lose their combat effectiveness and exit the game. Points will also be awarded if they reach a special position on the battlefield.
Points will be awarded. In addition, the organizer will occasionally add some side tasks according to the competition schedule.
The God of War Sacrifice will last until the "first sacrifice" is hunted by the contestants, and the team with the highest points will be the champion.
"First Sacrifice" is actually a name for a busybody, which is probably used to mock the "First Citizen" of the empire. In addition, there are also bosses, **oss, diamond point gift packages, and the King of Point Monsters.
In fact, it clearly has the official name of "Shen Cuisine", which means a delicacy dedicated to the God of War.
The translation of "Earth" is still direct and too firm. How honest and elegant!
Of course, if the team with the highest points and the team that hunted the boss are not the same, the team with the highest points will still be the champion. However, the team that finally hunted the boss will also get a grand prize.
In addition, the most precious prize recognized by everyone, the right to make a wish to His Majesty the Emperor, will definitely be awarded to the VIP in the audience - and this person is often the most handsome guy in the boss battle.
Of course, considering that not everyone must be a strong person to participate in the God of War Festival, there may also be the possibility of rookies participating in a group. If the boss cannot be defeated, this disguised Hunger Games cannot really be held until next year.
Go. Therefore, the upper limit of time is thirty days.
Let’s take the **oss of this year’s God of War Festival, the first sacrifice, Tailao, the Diamond Dragon Turtle that I saw on TV.
This is a rare giant amphibious phantom beast. It was originally a planet overlord that lived on a huge ocean planet. According to the data of the Alliance Extraordinary Administration, this is a country-destroying behemoth, which means it can be destroyed.
A terrestrial civilization that existed before the age of the universe.
Whether it’s in terms of size or combat power, the Diamond Dragon Turtle should be similar to the atomic giant lizard from the previous life story. I’m talking about the 2014 and 2019 movie versions.
Ordinary five-ring psykers would probably be hard-pressed to fight against this big guy alone, let alone the three-ring who had the previous ceiling of combat power. Maybe, the organizers of this God of War Festival have really been preparing to fight for a month.
I am still mentally prepared to not be able to defeat the boss.
So, this should also involve the vertical and horizontal cooperation between the various teams.
out out out of the gate, it's all about fighting.
In addition, during the entire process, the contestants had no supplies, no medical care, no backup, and even no need to change their underwear if they smelled bad. They had to rely on themselves unless they chose to give up.
Now you know how important the configuration of the team is, right?
A four-ring psychic master who grew up with a golden key in his mouth and was born into a well-known family may have extraordinary combat power, but if he has little experience in survival and fighting in the wild, and if there are no experts in this field around him, he may starve to death in the forest.
Of course, since the entire God of War Festival is based on points and broadcast to the entire galaxy, you don’t have to win the championship. As long as you can play some highlight moments, you can still gain fame and fortune. There are so many teams participating in this.
Reason.
To put it bluntly, most of the participants did not expect to win the championship in the first place, but as long as they can participate, it is a victory. Not to mention the exposure, if you can get some points, you can exchange them for a certain bonus afterwards.
All in all, the God of War Festival held every five years is equivalent to the World Cup in Yu Lian's previous life. In such an event that combines gladiatorial combat, hunting and anti-hunting, triathlon, outdoor survival, and even a reality show
, full of wild cries and savage courage, and contains almost all eye-catching elements.
You must know that all competitive sports in civilized society are actually simulations of war. So, what is closer to war than hunting and anti-hunting games in the wilderness?
In addition, in such a universe where martial virtues are abundant and everyone has muscles in their heads, the value of martial arts can even represent political appeal in a sense. The sports that were born from the God of War Festival are obviously examples of political stars that have suddenly transformed into political stars.
Not uncommon.
…really just “sports stars”, at least in modern times. Because people are immortal.
The problem is, this has never been the rule. Until now, contestants have been required to sign life and death certificates.
An imperial council member once proposed to standardize the competition situation of the God of War Festival, enhance medical and support conditions, try to ensure the safety of participants, and try to be in line with all "regular" sports competitions... but they were directly rejected by the big guys in the Privy Council.
.
“The God of War Festival is a sacred memorial to the martial arts of the people of the empire. When did it become a kitsch sports game?”
“This is not a sport! This is also a battle! It is a struggle between man and nature, and man’s cry to the universe!”
“Your noble official is simply insulting our ancestors! Please repent immediately!”
“No, you should just run into the sun and apologize to those ancestors who paved the way for us!”
Even the Prime Minister of Valpolis, who has always been known for his civil rights card, expressed his opposition on the spot.
“Our empire has its own national conditions, so why do we need to emulate others?” said the Prime Minister.
In any case, in the opinion of the big bosses of the empire, the reason why the God of War sacrifices to the undead is because today’s young people are too weak, it does not mean that there is anything wrong with the tradition of the God of War sacrifice.
In a sense, they are actually right.
If this God of War Festival really became a sports event, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so popular. Similarly, it would be difficult to find an opportunity to kill a certain contestant.
So, now is the question. What are the conditions that will force you to participate in this gladiator event that is full of racist and decadent atmosphere?
Yu Lian thought for a minute or two, dialed the terminal, thought for a while, and called the embassy.
Mr. Qi should be having a great time with the Marquise now. Yu Lian couldn't bear to disturb him, so he called the second-largest person in the embassy, Counselor Bliss.
Although Yu Lian had the counselor's office and personal phone numbers, he had never had any direct contact with him before. However, what surprised him a little was that it was already after work, but Mr. Bliss's attitude He was quite friendly and even a little enthusiastic. And when he heard Yu Lian's intention, he said that he already knew about it.
"You know?"
"I know, we are all familiar with those young people from the Overseas Students Association! Although those boys like to cause trouble, they are quite smart and will leave a back-up for themselves, so that we can intervene when we want to help. It's a good place. However, this time the fuss was a little too much, and that's why something happened. But don't worry, Xiao Tan is already a well-known lawyer himself, and we also sent people to observe the trial. It should still be fair."
Yu Lian nodded gratefully, but he was still not too reassured: "Well, to be honest with you, Stoker who went in is actually my friend."
"I know this too! When I was at Hongfeng Factory." Mr. Counselor smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's really just a security violation, there will be no criminal record, and it will not affect his graduation. Haha, a situation like this, In fact, there are quite a few of them every year. Even though Tan Jize looks like a bitch now, he has been in there before, but it didn't affect his graduation."
At this point, Mr. Counselor seemed to be even happier: "Moreover, the reason why the boy went in was not to fight with the birdmen and cats, but because two imperial girls dueled for him. Can you believe it?"
“Really, I don’t feel sleepy as soon as you say this... Well, ahem, I mean, I’m a little worried about whether Stoker will be treated unfairly in the detention center.”
“It shouldn’t happen, right?” Mr. Counselor felt that Yu Lian was a bit unfounded.
After all, the Empire is also a hegemonic civilization that dominates half of the galaxy. Although it is keen on brutal suppression, this is actually based on the macro perspective of races and races. If viewed from an individual perspective, its
The efficiency and cleanliness within the administrative system are definitely beyond the reach of the community. A majestic imperial capital should not be prone to such flaws.
Mr. Bliss agreed, however, that some member of the embassy would shortly pay a visit to Stoke.
