Him and their stars.

Chapter 429 The Decaying Gladiator Game

Yani was a little surprised.She was already ready to wait for the other party to ask for support, but she never expected such a simple request. After a slight pause, she asked with a smile, "How much do you want?"

"If possible, of course the more you want, the better! But who told those profiteers that the upper limit is only [-] million? Although you can find a few people to spread the bets, but if there is too much hot money to bet, they will also reduce the odds, or even directly It's locked. I estimate that around one billion should be able to get the maximum benefit. When the God of War Festival is over, I will give you back two billion."

Yamida thought for two seconds before she understood the other party's meaning: "You actually want to play gambling? Are you betting on yourself?"

"If everything is unavoidable, why not make the trouble as big as possible to maximize the benefits?" Yu Lian laughed.

"But, if you died there, wouldn't the billion be wasted?"

"However, if I win, you will get twice the profit. I am sincerely grateful! You can get twice the profit in such a short period of time. Even if you play hedging, there is such a rate of return. You guys Don’t investors have to learn to assess risks? If they don’t even have the awareness to take risks, what kind of capitalists are they?”

Unexpectedly, the girl on the opposite side wanted to act like a black-hearted capitalist, so Yu Lian was not afraid to play like a gangster.

After pondering for a moment, Miss Yamida couldn't help being happy: "...some economists say that we capitalists are actually a disadvantaged 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 is 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 and tacitly stopped the communication in this regard, and Yu Lian lit an ebony scepter, and began to chat about some random topics, and even mentioned Mr. Qi's new movie.Yani said with great interest that since it is Mr. Qi's movie, she is very invested.If Mr. Qi is willing, he can go to the Alliance to shoot. After all, there are more professional personnel, equipment, and venues than the Community.If it doesn't work, you can also co-produce two flowers together.

Yu Lian felt that it would be good to use the alliance's money to shoot his own works. If they tasted the sweetness, he might be able to magically modify some works such as "Orphan Neffi" and "Old Man Pei", and also blossom with the alliance. .How fun that would be!

Of course, Mr. Qi has the final say on such matters after all.

Before Yu Lian took out half of the black sandalwood scepter in his hand, the one billion will arrive in the account.This filled Yu Lian's heart with uncontrollable class hatred again.

You know, this is cash!This is really this girl's pocket money!
Well, since it's pocket money, then I'll take the attitude of dealing with pocket money.Yu Lian took out a piece of paper from his notebook and wrote an IOU with a pen.

The legal effect of this thing is actually very debatable, but Yani, who is rich and powerful, just took it with a smile, as if lending ten dollars to a friend to buy milk tea.

Then, the two said goodbye.

As soon as Yani left, Yu Lian calmed down instead.He smoked the remaining half of the cigar, and carefully considered the other party's words. Although there were suspicions of free confession and even flickering and intimidation, this kind of thing is still more believable.

That being the case, let’s make a good strategy.

He didn't even go back to the embassy. He first went to a nearby cafeteria owned by Kaitai people with good quality and cheap food to fill his stomach, and then found a secluded and clean hotel.

It is now the [-]th God of War Festival in the history of the Chenxi Dynasty, but it is also the most grand one in a century, and the rules of the competition have been announced half a year ago.

The scope of its battlefield covers the largest continent on the ancient Meiya planet, exceeding 8000 million square kilometers.

There are mountains, canyons, rivers and fields, but more than [-]% 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 American and Asian civilizations on this planet have been completely erased.A large number of exotic animals and plants have also been migrated, including a considerable number of phantom beasts.

Now, except for the general outline of the continent, the entire planet is still there, but the landform has undergone tremendous changes.Even if the ancient Meyans came back here two thousand years ago, they probably wouldn't recognize this planet.

So far, a total of more than [-] teams have signed up for the competition, and the total number of people has exceeded [-].Therefore, for the safety of the broadcast, the organizers of the empire prepared more than [-] robots of various types for filming, warning, pre-emptive, rescue and riot suppression.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 daily.

After all, it has become a sports meeting.The reason why there are so many people participating is that besides bonuses and honors, undead people are also a very important reason.

Of course, if it was the ancient War God Festival, the participants would not have this kind of treatment, and they would die if they died.

Like the previous ones, the God of War Festival is also based on points.When the team is marching, hunting certain beasts, or changing hands with a stronger force will earn points, causing the rest of the team to lose their fighting power and withdraw from the game will earn points, and reaching a special position on the battlefield will also earn points.In addition, the organizer will occasionally add some side tasks according to the schedule.

The War God Sacrifice will last until the "first sacrifice" is hunted down by the contestants, and the team with the highest points will be the champion.

"First Sacrifice" is actually the title of a troublemaker, and it is probably used to satirize the "first citizen" of the empire.In addition, there are titles such as bottom boss, big boss, diamond point spree, and king of point monsters.In fact, it obviously has an official name like "Shen Cuisine", which means delicacy dedicated to the God of War.

It is still the direct translation of the earth, which is too firm.How faithful and elegant!
Of course, if the team with the highest points and the team that hunted the big boss are not the same, the team with the highest points will still be the champion.However, the team that hunted down the boss in the end will also get a big prize.

In addition, the most valuable prize recognized by everyone, the qualification to make a wish to His Majesty the Emperor, will definitely be awarded to the VIP of the audience - and this person is often the most beautiful boy in the boss battle.

Of course, considering that not everyone who can participate in the God of War Festival must be a strong person, there may be a possibility that rookies will join together to participate.If you can't kill the boss all the time, this Hunger Games in disguise can't really last until next year.Therefore, the upper limit of its time is thirty days.

Let's take the big boss of this year's God of War Festival, the first sacrifice, Tai Lao, the King Kong Dragon Turtle that he had seen on TV.

This is a rare giant amphibious Eudemons, originally a planet overlord inhabiting a huge ocean planet.According to the data of the Alliance's Extraordinary Administration, this is a giant beast at the level of destroying the country, which means that it can destroy a civilized country on the ground before the era of the universe.

In terms of size and combat power, the King Kong dragon turtle should be similar to the atomic lizard in the story of the previous life.I'm talking about the 14 and 19 movie versions.

It would be difficult for ordinary five-ring psykers to fight against this big guy alone, let alone the three-ring, which was the ceiling of combat power before.Maybe, the organizer of the God of War Festival this time is really prepared to fight for a month and still not be able to kill the boss.

Therefore, this should also involve the cooperation between the various teams.

What alliances, shoulder to shoulder, backstab, anti-kill, etc. Of course, the audience likes to watch this.And if the team doesn't want to be killed, of course they can't all be fighters.

In addition, during the whole process, the contestants had no supplies, no medical treatment, no back-up, and they didn't even have to change their stinky underwear (meow) pants. They could only rely on themselves, unless they chose to give up.

Now you know how important the configuration of the team is, right?
Growing up with a golden key in his mouth, the psionic master of the four rings who was born in a famous family has extraordinary combat power, but if he has no experience in survival and combat in the wild, if he doesn't have experts in this field by his side, he might starve to death in the woods.

Of course, since the entire God of War Festival is based on points, and it is self-broadcast to the whole galaxy, it is not necessary to win the championship, as long as you can play some highlight moments, you can also gain both fame and fortune.That's why there are so many teams participating.

To put it bluntly, most of the participants didn't expect to win the championship at the beginning, but as long as they can participate, they will win.Leaving aside the exposure, anyone who can get a little points can be exchanged 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 fighting, hunting and anti-hunting, triathlon, outdoor survival, and even a reality show, it is full of wild cries and wild courage, and almost contains all the elements that attract attention.

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 arts are abundant and everyone has muscles in their brains, the value of martial arts even represents political appeal in a sense.It is not uncommon for sports born from the God of War Festival to become political stars in a sudden transformation.

...really just "sports stars," at least in recent times.Because no one dies.

The problem is, this has never been the case.And until now, the contestants had to sign life and death certificates.

Some members of the empire once proposed to standardize the competition situation of the God of War Festival, enhance medical and support conditions, try to ensure the safety of the participants, and try to be as good as all "regular" sports competitions...but they were directly pushed back by the bigwigs of the Privy Council .

"The God of War Festival is a sacred sacrifice to the martial arts of the people of the empire. When did it become a kitsch sports game?"

"This is not sports! This is also fighting! It is the struggle between man and nature, and it is man's cry to the universe!"

"Your official is simply insulting your ancestors! You should repent immediately!"

"No, you should slam your head into the sun and apologize to those ancestors who opened the way for us!"

Even Prime Minister 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?" Your Excellency the Prime Minister said.

Anyway, in the eyes of the bigwigs of the empire, the fact that the God of War sacrifices undead is because young people are too weak nowadays, which does not mean that there is anything wrong with the tradition of God of War sacrifices.

In a sense, they're actually right.

If this God of War Festival had really been completely sports-oriented, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so popular.Similarly, if you want to find an opportunity to kill a certain contestant, it is not easy to operate.

Well, now is the problem.What are the conditions that will force you to participate in this gladiator activity full of racism and corruption?
Yu Lian thought for a minute or two, switched on the terminal, thought for a while, and called the embassy.

Mr. Qi should be having fun with the Marquise right now, and Yu Lian really couldn't bear to disturb him, so he called Counselor Bliss, the No. [-] person in the embassy.

Although Yu Lian had the counselor's office phone number and personal phone number, he had never had any direct contact with him before.However, to his little surprise, it was already after get off work, but Mr. Bliss's attitude was quite friendly, even a little enthusiastic.And when he heard Yu Lian's reason for coming, he said that he already knew about it.

"You know?"

"I know, we are familiar with those young people from the International Students Association! Although those boys like to cause trouble, they are all very smart, and they will leave behind for themselves, so that we can help if we want to intervene It's time. It's just that this time the quarrel went a little too far, so something happened. But don't worry, Xiao Tan is already a well-known lawyer. We also sent people to attend the court hearing. It should still be fair.”

Yu Lian nodded gratefully, but was still not too relieved: "Well, to tell you the truth, Stoke who went in is actually my friend."

"I know that too! When I was at the Red Maple Factory." Mr. Counselor smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's really just a violation of law and order. It won't have a criminal record, and it won't affect his graduation. In fact, there are quite a few of them every year. That boy Tan Jize, despite being a dog, has been there before, but it didn't affect his graduation."

Speaking of this, Mr. Counselor seems to be happier: "Besides, the reason why the kid went in was not to fight with birds, cats and people, but two imperial girls duel for him. Are you credible?"

"Really, I won't be sleepy once you talk about it... Uh, cough cough, I mean, I'm a little worried whether Stoke will be treated unfairly in the detention center."

"Shouldn't it be?" Mr. Counselor felt that Yu Lian was worrying a little bit.

After all, the empire is also a hegemonic civilization that dominates half of the galaxy. Although it is keen on brutal suppression, it is actually based on a macro perspective between races and races.From the perspective of an individual onlooker, the efficiency and cleanliness of its administrative management system are absolutely beyond the reach of the community.In the dignified imperial capital, there should be no such mistakes.

Still, Mr. Bliss agreed to send some member of the embassy to visit Stoke in a moment.

Only then did Yu Lian feel a little relieved.
