NOVEL SIMPLE foreigner's journey
Chapter 8 Sky Arena
Chapter 8 Sky Arena
If you want to make an analogy, Flash City is similar to Los Angeles on Earth.
Among the world's three largest airship manufacturing companies, 'Windless Bird' and 'Hiram' are based in the city.At the same time, the food and clothing industries here are also extremely developed. Since the world's largest airship airport and the important port "Flash Port" are located in this city, the cargo throughput ranks first in the world.
After taking the train for more than seven hours, I finally arrived at Flash City, but Heather's travel destination was not here.
The travel writer Guo Gai met on the train earlier got off the train halfway, and he didn't even dare to say hello. It seems that he also understood that his hidden intentions were discovered by Heather, so he ran away.
But Heather didn't take this man to heart at all, and instead focused on the novel.
After leaving the train station, Heather chose a very famous restaurant in the city, the High Rock Fireplace Hall, as the battle site for his dinner, according to the recommendation in the Flash City Travel Guide.
High Rock Fireplace Hall, as the name suggests, is a restaurant specializing in barbecue, which is a barbecue restaurant specializing in the use of open fire ovens.Whole and whole sausages, slightly charred exteriors, rib waiting to be cut, tender and juicy brisket, these dazzling meats are like Christmas tree lights, hanging happily in circles and circles. Next to the oversized open fire grill in the center of the restaurant.
The recommended menu that the store is proud of is the 'Palace Class Course'.Thick slices of tender and juicy grilled beef brisket, crispy charred skin mixed salad, trembling pure meat sausage, ribs with rich sweet sauce, and a bowl containing 32 kinds of condiments are stacked on the oversized dinner plate Sauce (refillable), pickles, baked potatoes cut in half, and served with a cold beer fresh off the ice.
Heather had to admit that the meal was a real treat.
Arrived at Hiram International Airport at 8:40 p.m., which is located at the northernmost tip of Flash City and even the Urubian Continent. As long as you reach the airship from here, you can go to the Sky Arena.
There are no planes in Hunter World, but there are a lot of airships.
The airship ticket of 10 yen is really worth the money. The super-giant airship with the size of a football field inside is not slow. The airship meal of Hiram Airlines is simple but tastes quite good, especially the coffee and The cake is a must.
Ding Dong!
"Dear passengers, thank you for taking the airship of Hiram Airlines. The sky arena is coming soon. Please don't move around from your seat, please don't worry if there will be a slight vibration when you land..."
Heather lifted the blindfold, stretched comfortably, and looked out the window of the airship beside him.
The weather was not very good, and I saw a huge tower with various buildings and exhibition stands on the surface, which looked like a giant sword stirring the thick clouds from a distance.
Sky Arena, with a total of 250 floors and a height of 91 meters, is the fourth tallest building in the world.
Following the crowd and walking out of the air station, Heather found dozens of special buses parked at the door leading directly to the Sky Arena.The Sky Arena is located in the 'Josket District' of the Archifel Continent, adjacent to the Republic of Batokia. All surrounding public facilities, residential buildings and even cities are completely built around the Sky Arena.
Sky Arena, bottom of the tower.
Heather looked at the almost endless line of people and scratched his head: "Is it so lively?"
I looked down at the brochure in my hand, which was a free brochure distributed by the tour guide to every queue person.
[There are no strict rules, as long as you can defeat your opponent, you can advance. 】
[Every time a player advances, the floor they are on will rise, and the bonus will also increase as the floor climbs. 】
[An average of 4000 people challenge higher floors every day. 】
[More than one billion spectators enter the venue every year, and there are all kinds of facilities in the venue. 】
[High-level warriors can even have an entire floor. 】
[This is the holy land of barbarians and the paradise of fighters. 】
The line looked long, but it was actually moving very fast, and it was Heather's turn in less than an hour.
"Welcome to Sky Arena, please fill in the information here. Because it is related to opponents and difficulty, please fill in truthfully for your safety."
At the registration window, the female receptionist wearing a uniform with a fist pattern looked sweet and gentle, and handed the form to Heather with both hands.
Name, age and gender are not a problem, it is mainly the last item [Fighting Experience].Heather thought about it and filled in [15 years].
In this way, you can arrange for yourself a judge with good eyesight and a more interesting opponent?
When you walk into the hall on the first floor of the Sky Arena, you can really realize what a huge building it is. In addition to the hall on the first floor that can accommodate thousands of people, there are also several 'small' venues, each of which has its own 's number.
Heather, numbered [2415], was assigned to the F division.Here is a huge square arena, with hundreds of people sitting scattered in the audience seats in four directions. Among them are the contestants who are ready to play and the enthusiastic spectators who bet and shout.
There are 4 square competition stages 4X16 in the center of the venue, and two people are fighting hard on each stage, and each stage has an exclusive referee for review.
"Contestants No. 2415 and No. 1793, please come to the K ring."
After sitting in the stands for a while, it was Heather's turn to play. It seemed that the computer drew the numbers immediately.
Amid the loud and noisy cheers of the audience in the stands, Heather and a giant man with musculature walked onto the ring, not knowing who the audience's cheers were for.
"It's Montell! Lucky for this guy, the opponent is a skinny monkey!"
"Little devil, don't be scared to pee your pants hahahaha!"
"It's my turn! This is the best chance to advance!"
Heather's mouth twitched, well, the cheers didn't seem to be for him.
The squinting referee stood by the ring and explained:
"In the competition on the first floor, the strength of the contestants will be judged based on the outcome. Please try to use your strength within 3 minutes."
"Then... let's start!"
The giant man known as Montell squeezed the knuckles of his fingers to make a muffled sound: "Boy, don't blame me for taking a heavy shot, go to the hospital and lie down for two months!"
The whole person is like an angry male rhinoceros rushing towards Heather with his head bowed, and the arena is constantly smashed with loud noises by heavy footsteps, very good, just KO this four-eyed little monkey with such a punch!
He punched Heather, but before he could be proud, he realized that there was no actual touch on his fist, he just hit Heather's afterimage.Then Montell's stomach first went numb, and as his vision blurred and he quickly retreated, he realized that he was flying.
The clamor in the stands stopped abruptly like a hen being strangled by the neck.
From the perspective of the referees and spectators, a burly man with a height of more than two meters was smashed from the ring to a height of several meters, and smashed into a solid wall dozens of meters away like a cannonball. This visual impact is really too much.
"Don't worry, he's still alive."
Heather looked at the sluggish referee, hehe smiled, is this a fried fish?
"No. 2415, you can go directly to the [-]th floor."
Facing Heather's intentional [intention] at this time, the referee didn't notice it at all. He just took the instrument in his hand and typed out a ticket and handed it to Heather: "Please keep going."
That's right, how could the referee who can see Nian go down to the first floor to watch the chickens peck each other?Heather, who felt like she was winking at the blind man, took the ticket with her number and floor on it.
"This way, please."
Another beautiful waitress, Sky Arena understands it very well.Heather followed the lively waitress to the elevator, and her ears were full of pleasant chatter:
"In the Sky Arena up to the 2nd floor, the 60th floor is the first level, that is to say, if you win at the 40th floor, you can be promoted to the No.1 floor. If you lose, you will be downgraded to the No.[-] floor. Pass [-] There will even be private rooms on the back floors."
After finally getting rid of the lively waitress, Heather took the elevator to the No.60 floor.
The atmosphere here is completely different from the first floor. There are fewer players, but everyone is a well-trained player.
Find the reception window and show the ticket, and the bonus you get is only a pitiful 152 rennies.
"That's enough to buy a can of juice."
Heather reluctantly stuffed the coins into his pocket and said to the waiter, "Please arrange the next game for me as soon as possible."
"Huh? Don't you need a break for this player?" The waiter was a little surprised. Didn't this person just rise from the lower floor?Must be very tired.
"No need at all, please help me arrange it."
"Okay, please wait... Then please use this ticket to go to the players' lounge."
There are only a few rows of lockers and benches in the simple lounge, and the room is full of contestants.As soon as Heather came in, he received the attention of many players. Everyone was wondering how this thin four-eyed frog was put in the tier, did he bribe the referee?
"Mr. Tuomasui, Mr. Longsimian, please go to Arena A on the 55th floor."
"Mr. Mario, Ms. Bowser, please go to Ring B on the 57th floor."
Huh?Did you hear a strange name just now?Heather sat bored and waited in the lounge, and it seemed that there were different arenas scattered among the ten floors for the players to fight.
About 10 minutes later, Heather heard her name on the radio.
"Mr. Dacardo, Mr. Heather, please go to Arena C on the 59th floor."
Arena C on the 59th floor is different from the first floor. The auditorium that can accommodate thousands of people has already been filled, and the lights are shining on the only arena in the center. The two sides that are about to fight are waiting for the referee to give orders.
"Everyone! I've kept you waiting for a long time!"
"The next game will definitely not let you down!"
The hostess wearing a headset quickly moved the audience's emotions:
"The two contestants should not be underestimated! Because both of them are strong players who performed well on the first floor and directly jumped to the first floor! Now the big screen will broadcast the situation of the two people's previous battles."
The four large screens suspended at the top of the ring simultaneously broadcast the battle between Heather and the man named Dakardo.
"Mr. Dakado is like an immobile mountain, no matter what kind of attack falls on him, he can't leave any scars! The counterattack can even blow up the curtain above the auditorium!"
"Mr. Heather's movements are as fast as lightning, and the extremely fast speed can create an afterimage effect. The thin body contains infinite strange power, and the [-]-kilogram giant was hit a home run by him!"
"Everyone, are you ready to place your bet? Well, push the button now!"
drop--! !
The screen showed Heather and Daccado odds at 2.075 and 1.500 respectively.
"Judging from the betting results, Dakardo is more optimistic! Sure enough, it is because of the invincible defense that everyone has more confidence in Dakardo, right?"
Geez, underestimated.
Heather moved her next arm and looked towards the opposite side.The man named Dakado was a strong man about two meters tall. He had no scars on his bare upper body, and his shaved scalp glowed cyan. At this time, he was also staring at Heather, full of confidence.
"This game will be played in three rounds of three minutes, with a point-based knockout system."
"start!"
