Pirates' Max Level System

The human bomber had his head blown off by his own shell, the centaur was cut in half by his own weapon, the long spear, and the two guys who were good at locking techniques had their necks twisted and their hearts crushed.

Well, actually the last two were just extras, and people were most surprised by the two dead players.

Just one day before the elimination rounds began, two players died in the city. This was a major event for the martial arts tournament and Calgary as a whole.

How many men and women with dreams invest their savings in these contestants, with the determination of "if you win, you will be a young model in the club, if you lose, you will have to work in the adult industry."

As a result, their dream of getting rich overnight had not even begun before they were taken to the rooftop and made to queue up.

The public was furious and demanded that the Calgary Royal Family and the casino investigate the incident. They were not seeking justice for the death, nor for the sake of public safety. They just wanted to find the guy who tried to remotely control the outcome of the game.

Come to think of it, why didn’t you refund your money when the player you bet on died unexpectedly before the game started? You bastards from the casino, why don’t you give me an explanation?

Well, that's the point.

Qin Luo had already returned to the hotel and didn't know that the incident over there was quite serious, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Qin Luo immediately found Tsunade, the former head of the world's number one village, and told her about Darwin's request for protection and the minor troubles he encountered on the way.

"You agreed?"

Qin Luo saw that Tsunade's expression seemed very bad, and quickly shook his head.

Tsunade's brows suddenly frowned, and Qin Luo's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he had just guessed wrong?

"So you refused?" Tsunade's tone and expression were similar to before, making Qin Luo a little confused.

"No. I said I'll think about it first." Qin Luo answered a little unsurely, while expressing his concerns. His words revealed that he wanted to consult you before making a decision.

After listening to Qin Luo's thoughts, Tsunade asked, "Is the demon you are talking about very strong?"

"It's okay. He is an invincible existence to these people, but it's still a piece of cake in front of me." Qin Luo grabbed an orange and lay on the sofa while eating.

"Qin Luo, you are sick, and it's a terminal illness." Tsunade said shockingly with inexplicable sadness.

Qin Luo was startled and almost choked to death on the orange.

Guigui, I've already reached the maximum level of my physical body, and I can still get sick. Don't lie to me, I've read a hundred times more "learning materials" than you've mastered "postures." Qin Luo complained in his heart.

"This terminal illness is called the late stage of laziness cancer syndrome. Before it strikes, you should get out more often. If it does, you'll probably be bedridden for the rest of your life."

If there weren't some strange things in the name of the disease, Qin Luo would have really thought it was a terminal illness based on the length of the name.

So Tsunade diagnosed Qin Luo with a terminal illness without even taking his pulse or anything, just saying that he had no brains?

"you do not believe?"

Qin Luo was at a loss for words. "How can I believe this lazy cancer syndrome of not using my brain?"

"It's the 'late stage of laziness syndrome', where people are slick, don't like trouble, and don't use their brains. If you don't believe it, you can ask someone else." Tsunade said.

Just at this moment, Olvie entered the living room. As a serious scholar, she would definitely prove that this disease was nonsense.

"Olivia, you came at the right time. Tsunade actually said that I had a terminal illness. Do you think it's possible?" Qin Luo looked at Olivia expectantly and showed off his healthy body.

"You mean the late stage of laziness syndrome, the one that's too slippery and lazy to bother with anything, right? It's said to be the world's most incurable disease, and there's no known cure. But it's not contagious, so you don't have to worry about us."

Ha, Qin Luo's mouth opened wide, muttering "impossible, impossible". Qin Luo ran out, thinking that Tsunade and Olivia must have teamed up to deal with him, so he wanted to find someone else to ask.

Qin Luo met Tao Tu on the stairs and grabbed her hands.

Taotu didn't expect that Qin Luo would suddenly grab her hands in public, and he was very eager. She was surprised but also a little expectant. Does this dead man also know how to show affection?

As a result, nothing Taotu imagined happened. Qin Luo grabbed her hand and asked her directly if she had a terminal illness with a strange name.

This was a process in which the smile and shyness gradually disappeared. Looking at the anxious look on Qin Luo's face, Taotu suddenly felt as if she had been fucked by a fool before.

"Yes, they are right, you are hopeless." Taotu said this and left.

Qin Luo still didn't believe it. He muttered to himself, "System, you say..."

"Don't say anything, host. I know." The system interrupted him directly this time. "It's impossible to save him! Wait for death! Goodbye!"

At this time, in the room after Qin Luo left, Olivia said to Tsunade, "Why did you scare him?"

"Haha, don't you see how he is now? Ever since he came to Calgary, he's been so hands-off, not even using his brain. I don't want him and the child to become pigs like the Celestial Dragons."

Tsunade's words seemed to remind Olivia of the appearance of the Celestial Dragons. She couldn't help but shudder and silently gave Tsunade a thumbs up.

Alas, poor Qin Luo. It is said that three women make a play, but he is just too immersed in the play at this moment.

Chapter 690: Planning the North Sea

By the time Qin Luo realized that he had been tricked, even Duoyou knew about it.

Seeing Duoyouya wanting to laugh but not daring to, Qin Luo felt like a hundred thousand alpaca horses were galloping in his heart. He had known for a long time that there was no way he could have a terminal illness, especially one with a strange name. He was just a little insecure.

After learning that Qin Luo was suffering from a "terminal illness", Orochimaru had no intention of "diagnosing" Qin Luo. He just said "idiot" on the phone and continued to busy himself with his experiments.

That kind of undisguised disgust made Qin Luo more uncomfortable than being ridiculed in person.

But Orochimaru is indeed very busy. Ever since he hooked up with Vegapunk, the sparks of thought between the two have been like thunder and lightning, which has also made the "devil" escape faster and faster.

However, Tsunade and Olivia just wanted to take the opportunity to teach Qin Luo a lesson. Taking this opportunity, they had a good chat with Qin Luo about the problems he had recently encountered.

Qin Luo never thought that he would be so lazy recently. To put it in one word, there was something wrong with Qin Luo's thinking.

After a serious self-examination and repeated assurances that he would not make the same mistake again, Qin Luo barely passed the three-court (female) trial.

"Can I not kneel on the washboard?" Qin Luo asked weakly. There were many men outside the door. Didn't he, Qin Luo, have any dignity?

Just think about how sad it is that Qin Aotian, a great cheater, has fallen to this point.

The women who entered the fighting state were extremely determined. Qin Luo was not pardoned, so he knelt on the washboard and discussed Darwin's proposal with the three women.

The Dynasul family, the largest arms dealer in the North Sea, must be acquired. They've come knocking on the door, begging to be their subordinates, so there's no point in turning them away. Furthermore, the weapons and arms factories they possess are resources Liuyun Palace lacks.

The key lies in how to collect it and what price to pay.

It would be a very foolish act to let the Dinasur family publicly announce their joining of the Floating Cloud Palace. For the Dinasur family, this is not just a talisman, but sometimes it can also become a cup of deadly poison.

Liuyun’s enemies may not be able to take their base camp, Fishman Island, but if a family like the Dinasur family dares to show up, a group of people will come to cause trouble in minutes.

Darwin would not agree with this point alone.

Don’t think that Nanhill Raff was taken over smoothly by Qin Luo.

That was because Nanshierlaf was registered under Qin Luo's name, and Qin Luo was in a honeymoon period with the World Government and the Navy. Moreover, the affairs of Nanshierlaf were more complicated, and it could only be regarded as mutual benefit.

Do you think the World Government can tolerate Qin Luo's greedy attempt to take away Calgary after taking away Nanhill Raff?

Not to mention Vegapunk, whose value was discovered by the Navy and the World Government, and he was regarded as a forbidden delicacy. Aokiji and other navy officers came to the North Sea with only one purpose, and that was to take away Vegapunk who was hiding there.

Now the Navy is basically certain that Vegapunk is in the hands of several forces headed by the Dynasul family, but it is not sure about Vegapunk's location.

The only way to prevent the Navy from continuing to harass the Dynasul family is to find an opportunity to send Vegapunk away in front of the Navy.

The Navy, the Don Quixote Family and the Germa Kingdom are all within Qin Luo's consideration.

Besides this, there's another point that must be considered. The Denasur family's purpose in joining forces was to seek protection. But once this difficult period has passed, will this family still willingly submit to the Flowing Cloud Palace?

The Dynasul family had always been the masters of the North Sea. To suddenly have the reins put on them would undoubtedly be very uncomfortable, even if they were willing. Darwin was a man whose ability matched his ambition. Under his leadership, the Dynasul family grew steadily, with the ultimate goal of controlling the entire North Sea.

This is a sharp weapon, but if used improperly, it can easily hurt yourself.

The best way is to find a scabbard for the weapon, or find someone who can properly store the weapon.

Given the Dynasul family's obsession with power, dinosaurs, and biotechnology, Orochimaru was clearly the most suitable. However, this proposal didn't even last a second before it was collectively rejected.

It’s not that they doubt Orochimaru’s ability, on the contrary, they have too much “confidence” in Orochimaru.

In less than a year, perhaps even half a year, Orochimaru could have thrown the entire Dynasul family onto the experimental table. With his frenzy and efficiency in conducting experiments, Orochimaru never disappoints. I heard that Orochimaru has been working hard to restore his army of reincarnated beings recently, which is really not good news.

The Dinasur family came to seek protection on their own initiative. Darwin usually treated Qin Luo and his companions very well, so there was no need to do such a cruel thing to them.

Strong, with good judgment, and relatively gentle methods. After much thought, there are only two people in Liuyun Palace who meet these conditions, and one of them is not suitable to show up.

That night, having received the call, Itachi set out overnight, his destination being Calgary in the North Sea. Soon, Itachi would replace Qin Luo as the head of Flowing Cloud Palace in the North Sea, also commanding the highest level of the Dynasul family's military, much like Hoshigaki Kisame was to Nanshielrav.

After this, all Qin Luo needed to do was find a time to agree to Darwin's request. This timing was crucial, and it would be best if he could take this opportunity to show off his muscles in front of Darwin, which would make Darwin behave himself.

As tonight passes, the battle will rekindle in Calgary on a new day, and the much-anticipated elimination round will begin. There may not be this opportunity in the short term, but Qin Luo is not in a hurry at all. The pressure is on Darwin, and Qin Luo has taken the complete initiative in this matter.

If you really want to compare, the preliminary auditions and ranking rounds before the martial arts tournament were just warm-ups, with only the elimination rounds being the main event. Looking at the entire tournament schedule, only before the elimination rounds and the finals did the organizers arrange a grand opening ceremony.

Calgary was covered in petals and ribbons. 128 players arrived at the elimination stage from different routes, receiving cheers and praise along the way and appearing on the stage in order (the players who died found replacements and ranked second in their groups in the points race).

Behind these contestants are beauties and guards dressed in gorgeous costumes, like generals returning after winning a war. They will cross the "Arc de Triomphe" and step into the hall of success.

Chapter 691 Trophy

Flowers and wild horses are the lifelong pursuit of many people. This yearning is universal for both men and women.

The organizers pulled this off beautifully. The beauties and guards following the contestants hinted at love and power, respectively, evoking the most primal desires in the human heart. Those eyes, filled with eagerness to take over, instantly heated up the atmosphere in Calgary.

If that's not enough, the event organizers will tell you they have something even more brutal.

A one-and-a-half-meter-high trophy was brought out. When people were told that this was the glory of the champion, the whole audience fell silent, and the only sounds that could be heard were gasps and swallowing of saliva.

Even Qin Luo had to admit that for the first Beihai Martial Arts Conference and the subsequent weapons exhibition, the several forces organizing the events had put a lot of effort into the trophies.

A close-up of the trophy was shown on the big screen at the competition venue.

The base was made of gold, and the pillars were made of jade and crystal. The jade and crystal, carved into branches, were intertwined, holding up five eye-sized gems at the top.

Red, blue, yellow, green, and purple—five gemstones were cut identically, each with a single word engraved on its top. As sunlight streamed down the trophy, the light converged in a unique pattern, passing through the five gemstones and illuminating the ground.

The four characters "Number One Under Heaven" are arranged on the four sides of the trophy, and a purple character "Wu" is reflected on the yellow gold base.

There is no need to explain how shocking this was. A competition in Beihai could not be called the best in the world, but no one cared about it at this time. At least this trophy was definitely worthy of the title of the best in the world.

This trophy could even be described as a work of art. The beautiful gemstone, the title of "Number One Under Heaven," the design that could be called art. Everyone's eyes swirled around the trophy, even the contestants.

Wealth, fame, art, this trophy seems to give the champion everything. There will never be another trophy like this in the world.

In the VIP room of the competition venue, Qin Luo, who was watching the game with Tsunade, Olivia, and Taotu, said Alexander. The moment the trophy appeared, three hands touched the soft flesh on his waist at the same time.

Even the three women, experienced and accustomed to seeing jewelry, were instantly captivated by the trophy. To be precise, it wasn't the trophy itself that caught their attention, but rather the design. They all shared a common sentiment: "It would be wonderful to have a collection of this style of jewelry, ideally with larger gemstones."

All units, please note, this is not a drill;

The three women looked at the trophy with kind eyes while looking at Qin Luo. The meaning was self-evident. If Qin Luo pretended not to know at this time, the flesh on his waist would definitely be twisted off.

After yesterday's "one-day tragedy," Qin Luo tactfully agreed to the three women's request. "Designer of the trophy, you'd better not leave Calgary, otherwise we'll be in big trouble."

The stadium, built on the border between the wealthy and the poor, had been completed long ago, but it wasn't used for the main tournament until the knockout rounds. Because it was located at the border of the two areas, there was a section of wall on each side of the stadium.

As mentioned before, Calgary’s city walls are also a major feature here. These sections of the city walls do not have a defensive function, but have been converted into various shops.

At this moment, these two sections of the city wall were transformed into VIP rooms for the competition. Bigwigs from various forces like Qin Luo and Darwin were watching the competition here.

The spectator seats at the edge of the stadium were reserved for the wealthy and ordinary nobles. As for the common people who couldn't afford tickets, there were free seats in the broadcast plaza for them.

Although the arena had been expanded from its original 400-meter square to a massive 1,000-meter-long and 800-meter-wide field, it was still significantly smaller than the massive outdoor arena used during the points race. This meant that many tactics could no longer be used on this flat field.

But no one objected. A battle master with a wide range of tactics had reached this point. It wasn't that people were unwilling to acknowledge a tactical master as the North Sea's greatest. But a truly powerful warrior shouldn't fear direct combat, and an excellent tactician couldn't just rely on kite-fighting tactics.

Of course, this change is not without its benefits. At least after the field area was reduced, the duration of the game was greatly reduced. Hide and seek, tunnel warfare and trap warfare are certainly interesting, but they consume a lot of time.

Conservatively speaking, this venue could host over ten matches per day, and the 128-team qualifying round for the top 64 would only take four or five days to complete.

The first match of the knockout stage is the most anticipated. As the opening match, the popularity of this match is crucial for the subsequent matches. Therefore, in various competitions, the opening match will arrange some interesting matches.

Common choices include fielding the favorite to win the championship, or perhaps a compelling story between the two opponents. Another option is to simply field the most popular contestant. As is typical with martial arts tournament organizers, they choose the most popular contestant.

If we were to ask who is the most popular person in Calgary, it would definitely be Tayuya. As one of the 12 female players among the 128 players, Tayuya may not be the first to rise to fame, nor does she have the highest ranking. But she is very beautiful.

She has a good foundation, knows how to dress up, and has an ice fairy-like temperament and dreamy moves. The title of "Phantom Sound Female Swordsman" is already a thing of the past.

"Goddess", "Goddess", "Goddess"...

Listen, this is the voice of the masses.

The tournament officials did not keep the secret and announced the list of opponents for the opening match a long time ago in order to gain more popularity.

Dressed in flowing white, Tayuya leaped from the players' preparation room and landed on the field like a cloud. The roaring arena paused, and countless people were overwhelmed for a moment, a precious second of their lives slipping away.

Many of the contestants were also amazed by Toyuya's style, such as Corazon who stumbled into the elimination round, and Hawkeye who chopped down the players all the way.

Corazon's situation was rather delicate, so he quickly collected himself and didn't reveal anything. However, Hawkeye, the future world's greatest swordsman, was utterly stunned.

"Is it beautiful?" A voice sounded in my ear.

Hawkeye replied subconsciously: "Beautiful."
