Chapter 117 Underground Fighting
Jin Pili raised his eyebrows noncommittally: "I never like to hide anything. If you want to be friends with me, then I will show you the real me."
As she spoke, she took Shen Ci and Gu Lianxing to two empty seats and settled them down: "You two just sit here honestly. The drinks in the refrigerator on the wall are free. The restroom is at the end of the corridor on the far left. There are cameras and reverse lens scanners everywhere here, so don't take any pictures with your mobile phone, understand?"
Shen Ci nodded, and Gu Lianxing also nodded mechanically.
Pili glanced at the time again: "I don't have time, I'll go over first."
Shen Ci suddenly grabbed Pili's wrist, and asked with a worried look on his face, "Is it really okay?"
Pili looked at her and shook his head: "It's okay. Although according to the rules, everyone who comes in has to participate in gambling, I will greet you two and will not involve you. Don't worry."
"That's not what I'm talking about." Shen Ci looked into her eyes and said seriously, "I'm talking about you, is that okay?"
Jin Pili was slightly startled, and looked into Shen Ci's eyes, seeing the obvious concern and worry in her eyes.
After a while, she turned her head away and chuckled: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
It seemed that time was really running out. Jin Pili pulled his wrist away and left quickly without looking back, but the worry in Chen Ci's eyes did not disappear.
At this time, there were two players competing in the fighting arena. The audience around them were screaming and cheering excitedly as if they had been injected with chicken blood. The two players were both muscular men, and at this moment, their faces were bruised and blood was splattered all over.
Thunderbolt, she is a girl!
"Aci, let's...let's go."
Gu Lianxing seemed to have just come to her senses at this moment. She held Chen Ci's arm and said nervously and timidly, "I'm a little scared. Will they beat me to death?"
Before Chen Ci could react, a man in a suit next to him suddenly said with a smile, "Is this your first time here, little girl? Don't worry, this fighting arena has been around for over a decade and no one has ever been killed. The referees and contestants are all very professional."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ci hurriedly asked, "Sir, do you come here often? Is this the place for underground black boxing? Specializing in gambling?"
The man looked at Chen Ci with interest. He raised his lips and smiled slightly, then raised his chin towards the position behind Chen Ci: "Look over there, that's where they place bets on online gambling."
Chen Ci turned around and saw an area in the back with eight computers placed side by side. The staff in suits and headphones were all concentrating on operating something.
"Live betting is over there." The man pointed in another direction and said, "If this is your first time here, I don't recommend blindly betting. You can choose popular players and follow the trend. Your chances of winning are better."
Shen Ci understood.
When the driver said before I got on the van, "Everyone who goes in has to participate, that's the rule," he meant that everyone had to participate in the betting.
But underground gambling is illegal, so Pili said she would just go and say hello and would not involve the two of them.
At this moment, the scene suddenly erupted in loud cheers.
The competition ended and the red team won.
The big screen showed the winner's image, with his historical record clearly marked on it: 12 wins and 10 losses, with betting odds of 1 to 6.
In other words, those who bet on this person to win can earn six times the prize money.
"Hey, it's just another Taekwondo vs. Free Fighting contest, you win and I win, it's boring."
The gentleman complained aloud and shook his head, his tone lacking interest.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ci couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sir, aren't there groups based on the types of events during the competition? Why is Taekwondo competing against Free Fighting?"
"That's the fun part here. There's no division into events. The duels are decided by drawing lots. There are a lot of uncertainties. After all, there are so many different types of fighting in the world. You might be able to win one, but not another."
"What about gender? Isn't there any distinction between male and female contestants?" Shen Ci asked quickly.
The man nodded. "Of course, there aren't many female contestants. The probability of drawing a contestant of the same gender is extremely small. I've never seen two female contestants paired together."
When Chen Ci heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
Gu Lianxing also understood. She looked at Chen Ci anxiously and said, "Ah Ci, let's go. Call Pili to come with us. Even if we are short of money, we can't do this. It's too dangerous!"
Before Shen Ci could say anything, the sound of gongs and the cheers of the audience resounded throughout the venue again.
The host took the microphone and passionately announced that the next duel was about to begin. When Pili's name came out of the host's mouth, Shen Ci and Gu Lianxing instinctively straightened their bodies.
"It's over, Thunderbolt is about to come on stage!" Gu Lianxing murmured.
Shen Ci’s palms had begun to sweat.
The gentleman next to them looked at them and asked with a smile, "Are you fans of Pili? I bet on her today too!"
But at this time, the two of them could no longer hear his words, or any other sounds at the scene, they could only hear the "thump, thump, thump" sound of their own heartbeats.
Soon, the blue team took the lead.
He is a muscular man about 1.8 meters tall. He is only wearing a pair of blue shorts, a pair of boxing gloves the size of his head on his hands, and a mouthguard in his mouth. From his external equipment, it is not difficult to judge that he is a professional "boxer"!
Given the height and natural strength differences between men and women, how could Pili possibly defeat a man like this?
Soon, Pili from the red team also walked out slowly from the lounge on the other side. She was wearing a tight bra on the upper body and tight shorts on the lower body. She was not wearing any equipment, and she looked neat and clean.
But with this outfit, Shen Ci couldn't tell what she had learned for a while.
As soon as Pili appeared, Gu Lianxing couldn't help but tremble a little: "What should I do with Shen Ci, can Pili do it?"
Chen Ci was originally as nervous as Gu Lianxing, but when she saw Pili's fearless eyes on the field, she was also infected by him and inexplicably gained a little more confidence.
“I hope so,” Shen Ci murmured.
The red and blue sides saluted with fists clasped, their thunderbolt fists clasped together, their bodies straight, and the momentum emanating from their bodies was understood by Chen Ci at this moment.
What Pili uses is——"Chinese Martial Arts"!
As the gong sounds, the duel begins!
The audience was agitated. Chen Ci and Gu Lianxing subconsciously stood up from their seats, staring at the situation on the fighting field without blinking.
The boxer on the blue team took the initiative and attacked first, wanting to seize the initiative. He swung his arm and swept his fist across, with the force of breaking the wind, going straight to Pili's face. He did not slack off in strength at all just because his opponent was a girl.
Seeing this, Chen Ci and Gu Lianxing subconsciously clasped each other's hands, even their breathing stagnated, but they saw that Pili just turned his head slightly and easily avoided the opponent's full-strength attack!
