Chapter 272 Prelude
Senior Sun did not try to uncover the mystery of the box on the right, but instead took Chen Chuan and the other three people deeper into the exhibition hall.
The display shelves inside are filled with strange creatures from the ocean, and all of them look bizarre, some of them making people feel creepy just looking at them.
Senior Sun explained with a smile: "Some things may look scary, but they are actually not dangerous. They have strict requirements for their living environment and need us to maintain them at all times.
This is mainly prepared for those discerning guests on the ship, who have high standards and only such exotic and stimulating things can satisfy their tastes."
Chen Chuan agreed, because after seeing so many things, only the red sea worm made the second me show signs of emptiness, and other creatures did not give him this feeling.
At this time, he used the boundary certificate to look up some information about the red sea worm. This thing can secrete an extremely strong toxin, and ordinary people will be poisoned just by contact.
However, if facing a fighter of the third level, this amount of toxin will not pose much threat. It will either be blocked outside or metabolized quickly.
Even if this thing is on land, it still has certain combat capabilities, but it is no match for land beasts.
So Senior Sun said that releasing this thing tomorrow would just be for fun in the fight, and it might really just be for fun.
It took more than an hour to tour the entire exhibition hall, and the four of them didn't even realize that they had been looking around for so long.
When they came out, Senior Sun said to them, "Our Canglong Company's business scope is becoming increasingly broad, which has also aroused the hostility of many competitors. We encounter attacks and sabotage every year. The security team is in great need of fresh blood. We welcome every talented student to join us."
As he spoke, he handed three blue jade cards to Chen Chuan, Pan Xiaode, and Qi Huixin respectively, and said with a smile:
"This card bears the signature of our Canglong Company. With this card, you can board any of our ships anchored offshore or in port at any time. It's a beautiful night tonight. I wish you all a pleasant evening, my juniors. I'll excuse you now."
After Chen Chuan and the other three thanked him and said their goodbyes, Pan Xiaode commented, "Senior Sun is a good guy."
Tan Zhi said, "Senior Sun has always had a good reputation in school. He is now a middle-level manager at Canglong Company and no longer needs to fight and kill on his own."
Pan Xiaode just said "oh" and didn't say anything, because he preferred fighting to managing people. He asked, "It's still early, where are we going?"
Tan Zhi thought about it and first suggested going to the casino downstairs for a walk, but no one responded. Then he suggested going to watch the band performance invited by the cruise ship. This time Chen Chuan and the other two had no objection. However, the performance was surprisingly good, and the four of them watched until nearly ten o'clock before returning to the room.
On the next day, the cruise ship arranged a water skateboarding activity towed by a speedboat for them in the morning, and a diving and fishing activity in the afternoon.
This kind of activity is very popular among fighters. Participants need to wear special diving suits and be divided into several competing teams. They need to snatch and collect fish of all colors from other teams within the specified time, and they must also ensure that the fish are intact.
The four of them naturally formed a team and chased and competed with several other teams of fighters. After this activity, Pan Xiaode had a great time.
Chen Chuan had received underwater diving training from He Xiaoxing before, so this kind of activity was just pure entertainment for him, but it was also a rare chance to relax.
The entertainment continued until the evening, because they had been told in the afternoon that the battle between two level three fighters would take place at seven o'clock, so at half past five, the four of them returned to the cruise ship to wash up, went to the restaurant for dinner, and then came to the fighting deck.
When they arrived at the fighting arena, they found that there were already quite a few people sitting there. And this time, there were not only them, but also some senior students who showed up. However, they did not show any intention of coming over to say hello to each other.
This is normal. Even though they are from the same college, everyone has his or her own small circle. There are many people who don’t know each other or even dislike each other, so they didn’t take the initiative to get close to each other.
After the four of them found a place to sit down, Chen Chuan looked around. At first glance, the circular venue was filled with densely packed heads. However, most of these were realistic projections. However, with more of these people, the atmosphere seemed more lively.
He turned his head to look at the center of the venue. There was a huge aquarium high up there that was connected to the top, almost covering the entire space. There was a water gate and a passage on each side, but there was no water in it yet. That should be the venue for the two fighters.
Not far away from them, Gong Zhanyi was sitting there. Facing the high-level fighting match that was about to begin, he was a little absent-minded.
The steward came over and shook his head at him.
"Still no?"
Gong Zhanyi was a little surprised, and a little irritated. "Did we make a wrong judgment? No, he must be here, there is no mistake, and he must be at the scene. We must get him no matter the cost..."
The steward reminded him at the right moment: "Young Master, this is Canglong Company's ship."
As if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him, Gong Zhanyi calmed down instantly.
What the overseas islands fear most is the Canglong Company. Dashun will not interfere in the affairs of overseas island countries, but because of business issues, the Canglong Company has been dealing with them. The power of this company makes them deeply wary, and now is indeed not the time to make enemies with them.
He endured it and said, "Wait a little longer, watch the game first."
At the same time, many people outside the venue were also watching this fight.
They really want to know the result: are the fighters with implants better, or are the Wilderness Faction as powerful as they say.
Most people believe that this is a battle between the implant school and the wilderness school.
In fact, people are different. Even if one side loses in today's competition, we cannot simply conclude that one faction is stronger.
But if the implantation faction wins, many companies will undoubtedly publicize this game and deeply engrave this concept into the minds of the public. Once this kind of ideological implantation occurs and the inherent impression is formed, it will be difficult to change.
At 6:55, the door of the venue slowly closed and all the lights inside came on.
"Here I come."
Everyone was invigorated and looked towards the battle stage at the same time.
Chen Chuan also looked down and saw a thin man walking in from the right. He had thick eyebrows and a beard and hair that looked like they were not well groomed. The nails on his fingers and toes were yellow and thick, with sharp points. His face was smeared with oil paint, and he was filled with a wild aura.
The muscles on his body were clear and smooth, strong and flexible. He did not carry any weapons in his hands, but was wearing a homemade close-fitting diving suit.
At this time, in the passage opposite, the fighter with implants walked out at about the same time. Compared with his opponent, he was not very recognizable. He had an ordinary face and there was nothing impressive about him. What was surprising was that there was no recognizable trace of implants on his body.
Chen Chuan couldn't help but look at this man a few more times. He looked like an ordinary person, and his movements were steady and natural. If it weren't for the introduction, one would never have imagined that this was a fighter whose body parts were almost completely replaced with implants.
Is this the degree of fit reaching over 90 percent?
With the arrival of the two people, water began to be poured into the aquarium, and gradually submerged above the heads of the two people.
This time, the two fighters were only using the venue to exchange fighting ideas, and Rhino Horn was only providing the venue. Out of respect for the two fighters, there was no overt commentator, and the names of the two were not revealed.
Of course, the discussion on the boundary is another matter.
At this moment, outside the venue, the audience on the cruise ship were staring at the scene with curiosity and tension, and the discussion on the interface was very lively from the beginning.
At this moment, someone asked: Won’t these two people drown if they fight in there?
Someone immediately explained that some skilled fighters were able to breathe underwater, and if the fight was not very long, holding their breath would not be a difficult task for two people.
Some people below even began to explain in detail why fighters could do such a thing. Due to the detailed description and professional wording, it immediately attracted a wave of exclamations and admiration.
Compared to the noisy audience outside, the fighters in the arena all seemed relatively calm. Some of them had serious expressions, and only occasionally would someone communicate using the boundary pass.
Although the third-level fighters of the Wilderness School and the Implantation School had sparred with each other before, they had never competed like this in the public eye. Today's fight may have an impact on the future direction of fighting, and may also have an impact on each of them, so they have to pay attention.
At this moment, the aquarium was completely filled with water, and a hole suddenly opened at the bottom of the tank. Under the action of water pressure, a vortex visible to the naked eye was formed. The hole closed for a while and then opened in another place. Sometimes there were two holes, and sometimes there were three.
The organizer immediately came out on the comment interface to tell the audience that this was to increase the unexpectedness and difficulty of the fight, and it was also agreed by the two fighters.
Chen Chuan couldn't help but pay more attention to it. Although this seemed to be just a small change, when two people of equal level were fighting, sometimes a slight extra change could become the weight that tipped the scales of victory or defeat.
He then shifted his gaze to the two men, assessing their fighting abilities in his mind.
He had fought with third-level fighters several times, but he himself had never truly reached that level. He was going to take a closer look at how two third-level fighters would fight.
At this moment, he heard a drumbeat that shook the entire venue, and he immediately realized that this fight... had begun.
