The Man Standing on Top of the Food Chain - Chapter 301
[Chapter 31 Waves]
As one of the most prosperous cities in the Amestrian Federation, it has the largest population in the entire Western Continent. It is also the most diverse city.
With people and immigrants from more than 70 countries, more than 500 languages are spoken here.
It has the most developed subway network in the world, providing round-the-clock service.
As one of the economic, cultural, financial and political centers of the entire western continent, this world-class city has great influence. It was once known as the center of the entire world.
However, no matter how prosperous the place is, there will be dark corners.
Just outside Liberty City, in a huge warehouse, countless spectators roared with excitement. In their center was a cage surrounded by barbed wire. In the cage, two strong white men were fighting to the death.
Underground black boxing, where fighters from all over the world gather. Most of them participated in the fighting for money. The luckier among them can gradually become famous, even be invited to regular fighting events, earn enough money, and finally retire peacefully.
But most people who are unlucky can only disappear from the stage with all their pain and a meager appearance fee.
As the surrounding audience roared, the fighting on the field became more intense. A boxer was suddenly punched in the head, followed by a violent attack. When he collapsed on the ground, he had completely lost consciousness.
After a ten-second countdown, the referee raised the winner’s hand. He was a white man over two meters tall, with marble-like muscles and a beast-like face. There was a roaring lion tattooed on his back.
The crowd roared as the referee raised his arm to declare victory.
“Lion King!”
“Lion King!”
“Lion King!”
In the lounge, the black boxer nicknamed Lion King was untying the bandage on his hand little by little. At this moment. A black man walked into the lounge laughing.
“Hey, Jason, we won again. This is your appearance fee.” With that said, the black man handed a wad of money to Jason.
Jason just accepted it silently without saying anything more. But the black man didn’t take it seriously. He had long been accustomed to Jason’s indifference. As long as the other party could fight and help him make money, he didn’t care what character problems the other party had.
The black man patted the muscles on Jason’s back. Smiling and said: “Jason, my brother, you must not have imagined what happened. Let me tell you good news, mma has invited us, hahaha, I have booked a flight for you tonight, please prepare well. To play a game there, the appearance fee alone is one hundred thousand.”
As he said that, he patted the muscles on Jason’s arm. His face was full of excitement.
But when Jason heard the news, he sighed and said calmly: “Sorry, I’m afraid I can’t go to MMA.” “
What?” The black man looked at Jason in confusion: “Are you kidding? That’s MMA. . Even if you lose, you can still get 20,000 per game, my brother. Not to mention you will definitely win.”
Jason replied with an indifferent expression: “I have already booked a flight ticket for this weekend. I am going to a big trip. Xia. I’m afraid today is my last game.”
“Are you kidding me?” The black man looked at Jason in disbelief. Suddenly screamed: “Damn it, are you really planning to participate in that fighting competition?”
“The world’s number one unrestricted fighting competition, I want to see it.” Jason’s face. Revealing a hint of longing.
The black man cursed and shouted: “Are you stupid? Do you really believe in those magic and witchcraft things? I heard that people in Daxia don’t even have toilets. Maybe you will be infected as soon as you get off the plane. What kind of virus died?”
“It’s superpower. It’s not witchcraft.” Jason didn’t explain too much. In this era, the people of the Western Continent, especially the three major powers, have a natural sense of superiority towards the Eastern world. Whether in official propaganda or in their own impressions, the East will always be a poor and backward country.
The superpowers and other things that were rumored some time ago are also signs of their superstition and feudalism.
Looking at the black man who was still complaining, Jason shook his head, put away his backpack, and walked out of the lounge. He also didn’t know what Dongfang and Daxia were like. He is not sure whether superpowers exist or not.
But he wanted to give it a try anyway. Just to gain more power, to gain enough power to control one’s own destiny.
The feeling that every cell in the body is pursuing strength is something ordinary people cannot understand.
…
Tianjing, airport.
Among the crowds of people, a fourteen-year-old boy was looking around intently. Whether it was the steady flow of people, the majestic airport hall, or all the advanced facilities he had never seen before, he had never seen them in his hometown. Passed.
Behind the boy was a middle-aged man who was thin and looked a little malnourished. The man touched the young man’s head and said happily: “How about Xilan, how about Tianjing?” “It’s much better
than ours, Master. But there are many powerful guys.” The young man’s eyes revealed a trace of curiosity and excitement. , kept wandering around some black and white people. Each of these guys looked powerful, and their gazes were full of indifference and wariness.
The young Xilan said with some excitement and worry: “Are they all participating in the Unlimited Fighting Competition?” “
Probably not all.” The middle-aged man said: “We are the ones who came earlier, and next week happens to be Li Anping’s ascension to the throne. It’s the ceremony. The fighting competition will be held in two weeks.” At this point, the middle-aged man sniffed his nose and said, “These guys have a strong smell of blood on their bodies. I’m afraid they are here for the enthronement ceremony.” Xi
Lan He nodded in understanding and suddenly asked: “Master, can we go to watch the ceremony?”
“Of course not.” A young man in a suit and glasses ran over from behind. As soon as he heard what Xi Lan said, he immediately refused, and then said: “Be careful, this is Daxia, don’t mess around. You have lost the dignity of our Star by talking.”
This was Star’s diplomat who accompanied Xi Lan and his master. As a small inland country in the southernmost part of the Eastern Continent. Star is perhaps the poorest among the southern Xinjiang countries.
And their current emperor is a person who appreciates masters and worships the strong. Unfortunately, Star State is small and weak, with very few masters. The strongest ones only have two fourth-level ability users.
After he heard about the unrestricted fighting competition that Li Anping was going to hold this time, he insisted on holding one in his country, and then sent the champion to participate in the competition in Daxia to win a good ranking.
Obviously Xi Lan and his master were the ones sent out in this situation.
The diplomat kept nagging them: “Remember, when you meet the people from Daxia who are coming to pick you up, don’t talk. Just leave it all to me. Also, don’t use it indiscriminately.
” Ability, this is Daxia, please don’t cause trouble for me or create diplomatic disputes.
Also be careful, don’t always look here and there as if you haven’t seen the world. Remember, you must respect the habits of other countries. , respect their traditions and do not interfere in their internal affairs. We have emphasized this repeatedly before getting on the plane.”
Although Xi Lan and his master did not refute, they looked absent-minded and did not know how much they had listened. . However, they have indeed been taught repeatedly that they cannot use abilities casually.
Ever since Li Anping disclosed the existence of superpowers, everyone in Great Xia knew that there was such a thing as superpowers in the world. The management of superpowers is also more stringent than before.
It can be said that all local superpowers in Daxia are strictly monitored.
However, after being under stricter control than before, they also received more benefits.
The first is that all capable users will participate in training. The best talents among them will be assigned to the legendary Academy City built by Li Anping personally to receive the most elite education. After graduation, they will directly join Daxia Dragon Bird. They will receive hundreds of thousands of subsidies every month while studying. .
The remaining ability users will be assigned to join some ability schools run by the nine royal families based on their talents, qualifications and various examinations. After graduation, they will either join the police or join the army and other violent organizations. Of course, some who are completely unfit for combat will be selected for civilian service.
It can be said that since last year, all the capable people in Daxia either belong to the government or have been imprisoned.
If you are still a little unwilling to work for the government, then I’m sorry, the government will give you generous subsidies and benefits, but you will have to be under the supervision of the government throughout your life, such as going abroad, going to other places, etc. All must be reported in advance.
Of course, Xi Lan guessed that there must be some hidden ability users in Daxia. However, as long as ability users break through to the first level, they will have mental energy. Unless you have been hovering at level zero all your life, it will be exposed sooner or later. things.
At this moment, an official from Daxia came to them holding a pick-up sign. When the diplomat saw it, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face and happily talked with him.
Although Xilan had learned a little bit of Daxia dialect beforehand, Star was close to Baiyue and the official language had always been Baiyue dialect, so he couldn’t quite understand what the two of them were saying.
The usually arrogant diplomat was seen nodding and bowing. After chatting for a few words, he followed the other party and left.
He turned around and shouted: “You two, hurry up and catch up.”
“Remember, after checking into the hotel, don’t run around casually. Remember to report anything.”
As for the competition, he didn’t mention it. carry. The two people in front of him may be the top masters in Star, but when they come to a big country like Daxia, there are so many masters emerging one after another. He has no expectation that Xi Lan and the others will get ranked.
Xi Lan shrugged and didn’t take it to heart. He glanced aside again, and at some point, some staff members wearing blue and white uniforms vaguely appeared around him.
Seeing the opponent’s uniform, Xi Lan heard the master beside him murmur: “A person from Daxia Longque?” (To be continued…)
