Chapter 272 The Trouble Comes
The game started, and the first players to play were called away.

There are 256 contestants, and there are 128 games in the first round, so it is impossible to compete slowly one by one.

The arena with a diameter of nearly 90 meters is divided into nine parts with a nine-square grid. The middle one is the referee area, and the surrounding eight are competition areas. Eight games are held at the same time.

The organizers put a lot of thought into the schedule, and Gao Xing's players tried to separate as much as possible to prevent them from meeting in advance.

The players who are expected to enter the top 64 will basically face half-star players in the first few rounds. The real exciting game will not appear until the competition for the top 32 places.

Each game lasts 10 minutes, with a 5-minute change in the middle. It is estimated that today's game will end in 4 hours.

Frederick was glad that he played early and didn't have to play in the sun behind him.

He was called by the staff and went to the armory first, where he could receive leather armor and helmets.

But he didn't want it, he didn't need it.

It didn't take long for Frederick to play, but he was a little puzzled, why did he have two opponents?

The referee came over, slapped a player who was in the wrong place on the back of the head, and kicked him to the next field.

The referee in the middle rang the start bell, and the young man rushed towards Frederick with his weapon raised.

Frederick narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at his opponent seriously.

This man was in his twenties, with a rather burly figure, and a double-sided battle ax seemed to be of no weight in his hand.

When his opponent was approaching, Frederick suddenly took two steps back and then took a step to the right. As a result, the man lost his footsteps in order to adjust his pace, and he failed to coordinate his body shape and force when the ax fell.

The figure was wrong, he could only use an awkward posture to turn the splitting ax into a horizontal cut after Frederick dodged.

This slowed down the speed of the axe, and Frederick had time to take a leisurely step back and let the slash fail.

Fighting with opponents who are far inferior to him in strength cannot increase experience points, so Frederick decided to end the match as soon as possible.

When holding the axe, one hand held it firmly, and the other hand held it empty. When the ax fell through, Frederick stretched out the scabbard and knocked on the elbow of the opponent's hand that was actually holding the axe. .

The opponent's hand was numb, and his movements stopped, and then he saw a shoe getting bigger and bigger in front of his eyes.

In less than 1 minute, the game ended with Frederick kicking his opponent unconscious and winning.

Players who win the game can watch the game from the auditorium at the top of the arena, where free tea, wine, happy water and various snacks are provided.

In addition, they also have a sign, you can go to the designated sponsored restaurant to eat, free of charge.

Frederick brought the olives here and asked her to bring some drinks, and a short time later she brought a bottle of happy water.

"It hasn't been iced before." Frederick curled his lips, "It doesn't taste good without ice."

At this time, a strong man sitting not far from him turned his head and asked him: "This happy water must be iced to drink?"

"Yes." Frederick nodded and said, "You can try it, it's most comfortable to drink at a temperature higher than freezing."

The strong man immediately turned his head and ordered a female slave behind him to bring a bottle of happy water, which was about to be frozen.

"Sure enough!" The brawny man looked satisfied after taking a sip, "All the previous drinks were wasted!"

Then he turned to Frederick, "My name is Vaer, what's your name?"

Frederick replied: "My name is Charles Smith, just call me Charles."

"Haven't you ever drank frozen happy water before?"

Vaer shook his head and said, "You are a foreigner and don't know that drinking cold water here can easily damage your stomach. According to the scholars in Wessen State, there are small bugs in the cold water that are invisible to human eyes. If you drink too many bugs in your stomach, you will get sick." .”

"Don't tell me, those scholars in Wessen State are really powerful. Every household in my house now drinks hot water, and all the sellers of diarrhea medicine have thrown their goods into their hands."

After speaking, he laughed heartily.

Frederick said with a smile: "That's true. But the drinks we sell in Wessen State are all bug-killed. As long as they haven't been opened or leaked, they can be drunk directly, or frozen. "

"I thought it was so hot here that you all drank ice."

Waer said: "It's easy to die if you have a bad stomach, so don't dare to mess around."

"However, this happy water is not delicious if it is boiled directly, but it tastes good if you add some fruits into it and boil it together. You can try it."

Frederick was fascinated by Jiongjiu, but at the same time he was a little curious, so he decided to give it a try.

Then he said: "In Wessen State, happy water can also be used to make chicken wings, you can try it too."

Although the two were chatting, their eyes were fixed on the competition on the ring, and they were multi-tasking, keeping every move of each player in their hearts.

Especially after the first few rounds of warm-up, when the players with higher voices appeared on the stage, both of them stopped to chat.

Although these contestants ended their battles in less than a minute, they could still see some characteristics and personalities of their opponents.

"This bull," Vaer couldn't help shaking his head after another round of competition, "still has the same temper, always killing people."

Frederick looked at the contestant who left the ring silently. This man was nicknamed "Brave Bull". He smashed his opponent's head with a hammer just now. Now the staff is busy cleaning the ring.

"You have to be careful with him," Vaer said. "He loves to irritate his opponents, make them lose their cool, and he also likes to kill."

"Not only on the court, but he also likes to make trouble off the court."

Frederick asked calmly: "If he annoys me off the court, is it okay to be killed by me?"

Vaer turned to look at him, and said, "He's a mad dog raised by the judge in the city. No one wants to mess with the judge for a dog."

Frederick just smiled and said nothing.

His intuition told himself that because of his status as Wesson's military clerk, someone would make up his mind.

But it's not a problem, the big deal is to transfer the Kirov airship to blow him up.

After the game, Frederick and Olive went home first, and took Therma to a restaurant where they could eat for free.

Therma is more familiar with the high-end restaurants in the city than Olive, the tour guide. In the past, the chefs of the restaurants were directly asked to cook at home.

Frederick chose a seafood restaurant, mainly because it was close to his residence.

Only after they went to the restaurant did they realize that different levels of contestants have different hospitality standards, the half-star contestants have cheap meals, while the six-star contestants not only have exclusive seats on the roof, but also have singing and dancing performances.

"Dancing well!" Frederick praised the local dances performed by the teenagers, and forgot to eat the shrimps and crabs that Therma and Olive peeled for him.

The dancers are several teenagers, holding hands and raising them up. The dance is mainly based on footsteps, a bit like a tap dance. They follow the cheerful melody of the musicians by stepping, kicking, stomping, and jumping. The leader on the far left holds a handle The decorative sword inlaid with stained glass is accompanied by a sword dance, which has a special flavor.

After the dance, Frederick called the owner of the dance troupe and rewarded them with a few gold coins.

"If you want to make money, you can go to Wessen State." Frederick said to the boss, "Such a cheerful dance will be popular there."

Unexpectedly, the boss' face changed suddenly, and he quickly shook his head and refused: "We will not go to the land of the heathen."

Frederick shrugged, it's up to you.

He waved his hand to let the dancers back off and concentrate on eating.

Here is the seaside, the seafood is very fresh, deep-fried prawns, boiled crabs, charcoal-grilled sea fish, sea shells with fried rice... Frederick was very satisfied eating in the comfortable sea breeze.

She was more satisfied with olives. She had never been to this kind of restaurant in her life. Frederick let her eat whatever she wanted, but she almost starved herself to death.

When they were about to leave, there was a noise from the stairs, and a group of people rushed to the roof.

Frederick frowned. The leader was a bull that he had seen in the arena.

This man was in his early thirties, with extremely muscular body, with a scar on his face, and looked vicious.

There were several people behind him, and one of them helped him hold the hammer he used in today's game.

Man Niu walked up to Frederick, pointed at Therma and asked, "How do you sell this slave? You can set a price."
