"Are you sure you want to fight adventurers in your ordinary state?"

Chapter 98 Are you scared now?

2023-06-01

"Can't you fight?"

Jiang Li touched his chin and asked back.

"There shouldn't be a rule in this arena that ordinary people can't challenge adventurers, right?"

Of course there is no such rule.

Besides, he has already signed the contract. Even if he dies in the ring, it is his own fault. The arena cannot be blamed, and he does not need to worry about being held accountable afterwards.

Shakti said nothing.

But her pupils became sharp, the expression on her face gradually faded, and her eyes were fixed on Jiang Li.

The hidden aura around her quickly rose up and pressed towards him from the front.

At that moment, it seemed as if a heavy pressure was coming towards him, as if the blue-haired beauty in front of him was planning to attack him violently in public. He couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and his momentum became much weaker.

But the young man opposite her was not shaken at all by the aura she deliberately released towards him, and his expression was so calm that one could even say he was indifferent.

"...I'd like to say, for your own safety, that you're forbidden from participating, but you don't look like a complete novice."

Shakti's sky-blue eyes relaxed slightly, and her aura gradually subsided.

"Then it's up to you."

Shakti became somewhat interested in the young man because he remained indifferent to the aura he released.

In this maze city, anyone who makes a living by exploring dungeons can be called an adventurer.

Although Lv.1 is at best only a low-level adventurer, arguably the weakest level among adventurers, accounting for more than half of the total number of adventurers in Orario, it is also an existence that has received the grace of God and embarked on the path of growth.

There is a huge gap in strength between ordinary people and adventurers. Although it cannot be said to be an insurmountable barrier, it is still a chasm, which is the difference between a rookie and a professional player.

Before this, almost no one would challenge adventurers as an ordinary person. That was too unwise and definitely not something that ordinary adventurers would do. If they were not careful, they could be seriously injured or even die.

But this young man is probably no ordinary person.

Shakti decided to give him a chance to see how far he could go.

"Here's your number plate. Go into the preparation room and wait."

After Jiang Li filled out the registration form and signed the contract on the parchment, the blue-haired beauty handed Jiang Li a wooden number plate and turned to leave.

"Your name is Shakti, right? You're a good person."

Jiang Li suddenly spoke.

After saying that, he walked into the preparation room without looking back.

The blue-haired beauty Shakti turned around and looked at the boy's back with a slight surprise on her face.

He must have noticed her intention. He didn't expect her to be such a thoughtful guy. Even after being single for more than 30 years, her heart couldn't help but feel a little fluttered.

The point is, this guy is really handsome.

"I have to watch the arena carefully later to avoid any accidents..."

The next match was about to begin, and Shakti returned to the bottom of the ring and stood in a very hidden position.

After she left.

"Hey, give me a registration form!"

An adventurer with thick arms, a face full of flesh, and a very fierce look came to the registration office and snatched a registration form from the employee.

He filled in his name and the big words "Lv.1" on the registration form, signed the contract, and then walked into the preparation room with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Was that person just now really Level 1?"

The employee was frightened by his aura and didn't dare to speak the whole time. It was not until he left and looked at his back that he began to have strong doubts.

The guild's employees often interact with adventurers, and they can more or less tell the difference between high-level adventurers and low-level adventurers.

In this Orario, only adventurers who have reached Lv.2 can be considered advanced adventurers.

…………

In the preparation room.

When Jiang Li entered, there were still three challengers left, two humans and one dwarf.

The three of them were either clutching their trouser legs, shaking their feet constantly, or pacing back and forth. They all seemed unable to hide the nervousness on their faces. They were all very uneasy. Even when they saw Jiang Li walk in, they had no intention of talking to him.

The three people's eyes were completely focused on the same place.

Following their line of sight, Jiang Li saw a window that had been wiped clean and transparent, from which he could just see the scene on the arena.

At this moment, a new competition has begun, and the dwarf Hawks is accepting the challenge of the sixth adventurer.

Half a minute later, the game on stage was over.

The process was smooth and the dwarf warriors still won an overwhelming victory.

The host announced a ten-minute break and the next game would start in ten minutes.

Inside the preparation room, after seeing the dwarf warrior's effortless six-game winning streak, the three men's expressions became noticeably more nervous, especially the two middle-aged humans.

The number plate in his hand is the smallest among the few people, so it is his turn next.

"By the way, are you scared now?"

Jiang Li came over and spoke to him with curiosity on his face.

“…A little.”

Startled by Jiang Li's words, the middle-aged man looked at him in panic and forced himself to remain calm.

"Actually, I'm quite scared too. After all, I'm the only son in my family, and I have two eighty-year-old parents. If I die here, I really don't know how they're going to live the rest of their lives!"

Jiang Li's face was filled with regret, and his face was full of worry for his non-existent elderly parents.

"I, I suddenly remembered that I still need to fertilize the fields at home...!"

The middle-aged man's face quickly turned pale, and then he suddenly stood up and ran out of the arena regardless of the gatekeepers outside.

After he left, the young man next to him, who looked to be about twenty years old, suddenly became panicked.

According to the number plate, he was the next in line after the middle-aged man.

"Is it your turn to be nervous now?"

Jiang Li moved his butt and sat next to the young man, taking the initiative to comfort him.

"There's no need to be nervous. Look at that dwarf's powerful arms. One blow from his axe could chop you into pieces, sending blood splattering like tomato juice. But if you just stick your head out, the pain will only be a moment. Your brain might explode, and it wouldn't be a very graceful death..."

"I, I, I, I, I also remembered that the store at home is about to open, I have to go back!"

The young man imagined that scene and his face turned pale. He stuttered for a long time, lifted his trembling feet, and quickly left the preparation room.

As soon as the two humans left, the most nervous person suddenly became the little human sitting in the corner.

He was only about as tall as Jiang Li's waist, with skinny arms and legs, not big enough to be chopped off by a dwarf's axe. Thinking of the scene Jiang Li had just described, layers of sweat began to seep out of his forehead.

Then, he saw Jiang Li approaching him with a warm smile on his face.

"...I'm still a virgin! I want to revive my family, I can't die here!"

His expression changed several times, and finally he gritted his teeth, and with an impassioned look on his face, he followed the young man and disappeared without a trace.

"I haven't said anything yet."

Jiang Li curled his lips.

Your mental quality is so poor, why are you here to fight?

Well, looking at it this way, I indirectly saved three lives, which is really a great deed!

The door to the preparation room opened.

An employee walked in with a look of surprise, looked around, and his eyes fell on Jiang Li.

"What's going on here?"

"Nothing happened!"

Jiang Li looked surprised.

He's a very polite man, what could happen?

The employee left the preparation room with a look of confusion on his face.

Chapter 99: Did I give you face?

2023-06-01

"Squeak!"

Another door opened, and at the same time, a tall shadow enveloped the preparation room.

Looking in the direction of the voice, a tall and strong man with a pair of bear ears on his head strode into the preparation room.

The bear man of the Orc tribe has a square face, muscular body, and thick black hair all over his body. He looks like a high wall of muscles and is extremely visually oppressive.

The bear man's sinister triangular eyes swept around the room and then focused on Jiang Li.

He walked over silently and sat beside him in silence.

With a "bang", the simple wooden chair became as tight as a bowstring, creaking loudly and almost broke when he sat on it.

"Did you place any bets?"

The bear man lowered his head, looked down at Jiang Li out of the corner of his eye, gave him a ferocious smile, and asked in a muffled voice.

"Bet? Can we still bet here?"

Jiang Li didn't seem to notice the fierce look on his face, and was very surprised that his attention was attracted by the gambling project.

It turns out that you can still bet in this arena?

Jiang Li was heartbroken.

If he had known earlier, he would have bet on himself to win. Many senior time travelers always make a lot of money in occasions like the arena!

This arena is so cunning that it secretly cheated him of millions. It's so hateful!

"No bets, that's good."

The bear man smiled with satisfaction and stretched out his arms.

He seemed to want to put his arm around Jiang Li's shoulder, but Jiang Li frowned and bent down to avoid him.

Seeing that his arm was empty, the bear man's face darkened, and his huge body suddenly felt oppressive.

"...Let's make a deal."

But he did not explode immediately. Instead, he retracted his arms and supported his knees to hide his embarrassment.

"I see you really enjoy playing in the arena. How about this? I'll help you knock the dwarf off the stage, then deliberately lose to you so you can experience the feeling of being the champion. I'll only charge you a small fee. Anyway, with your frail body, you definitely can't beat that dwarf. I have several brothers outside who can help, so you might consider it."

His gaze passed Jiang Li and fell on the backpack beside him.

When he was in the guild, he saw with his own eyes that the backpack was filled with a lot of gold, silver and treasures. Only a part of it was exchanged for more than two million faris, and the total value was at least two or three times more.

He was worried that a young man like Jiang Li would spend money lavishly and give it all to the arena, so he pretended to be a player and ran in on his own initiative. There were several brothers outside to support him.

More than five million faris is a huge sum of money even in Orario. Even for a high-level adventurer like him, it would take about half a year to earn it, and that's assuming no accidents while exploring the dungeon.

However, there were members of Ganesha's clan in the arena, so he couldn't attack him openly. That's why he sneaked in to threaten him.

In other words, this guy only took the main road along the way and did not take those sparsely populated narrow paths. Otherwise, they would have started the fight on the road and would not have had to wait until the arena.

After getting all the money, I will capture this guy and sell him secretly. I'm afraid I can make a lot of money. There are many wealthy businessmen who are willing to take this high-quality rabbit doll.

"How strong are your brothers?"
