Mu Chen paid the entrance fee for himself and Mingmei. As soon as they entered, Mingmei asked, "Do we have to pay to enter?"
"Yeah, otherwise where do those boxers get their income?"
"Oh, I almost forgot..."
"Besides tickets, there's also betting. Want to place a bet?"
Mingmei looked up and saw that Mu Chen had led her to a small window. She looked up and felt dizzy looking at the multipliers and numbers.
"What suggestions do you have?" Mingmei was unsure how much Mu Chen had actually absorbed and learned from last night's experience.
"Give us a ticket for boxer number nineteen, three wins out of three."
When Mu Chen heard Mingmei ask for his advice, he showed her his advice through his actions.
Mu Chen handed a small bag of dungeon currency, which he had obtained by exchanging energy crystals, into the window, and Mingmei heard the person inside mutter something.
She didn't hear the specifics, but she could sense that the other party didn't seem to have high hopes for Mu Chen's bet.
"You should pay close attention to the performance of number 19 later; otherwise, you don't need to worry about the rest."
Wander around the boxing ring a bit; you'll find it's actually quite interesting.
As Mu Chen led Mingmei deeper into the arena with the betting chips in hand, Mingmei suddenly pulled her hand away from his and then grabbed his hand in return.
"You wouldn't happen to be number 19, would you?"
After Mingmei finished asking her question, she saw Mu Chen nod. His nod made Mingmei angry: "Are you crazy?! This boxing ring..."
Even if Mingmei had never seen an underground boxing ring before, she knew that since it was an underground boxing ring, it must be very dangerous. Why would this guy do this?
“Meimei.” Mu Chen sighed softly and explained slowly, “The boxers’ win rate also earns points. Besides the living supplies they can exchange for here, they can also exchange for other things, such as information.”
Mu Chen fought in underground boxing matches in order to gain access to more information that could not be found on the surface.
"Even having a quantum computer won't work?"
Mingmei knew that Mu Chen had previously said he also used his quantum computer to make money, but in reality, it was just about exchanging information for resources.
"I need to have information that others don't know."
Mu Chen said helplessly, but his eyes lit up when he mentioned fighting underground boxing matches. He looked at Mingmei calmly and said, "Meimei, believe me, you will see many people in this boxing ring who are not here to watch the fight. Pay close attention to them."
After saying that, Mu Chen handed the betting chips to Mingmei, then turned and went to the boxers' preparation area, leaving Mingmei alone.
In such a popular boxing arena, amidst the clamor of voices, Mingmei, prompted by Mu Chen, couldn't help but observe the people around her, all dressed in black robes to conceal their identities.
A brutal and visceral boxing match, full of bloody beauty, is unfolding in the center of the arena.
However, Mingmei noticed that some of the men in black robes were not facing the stage. They were looking around and talking to each other with their heads down, but their voices were drowned out by the surrounding noise.
Sometimes we also send people to the black market in the outer reaches of the ocean to secretly sell things.
Mingmei suddenly remembered that when she went to the outer space, Doron had casually mentioned the black market to her.
Because Hu Mingli had gone too far in eradicating the space pirates and their underworld forces in the Canglan Starfield over the years, basically uprooting them and "wiping out entire families" wherever he went, to the point that sometimes the Sixth Legion would secretly send people to sell things they couldn't handle openly in the outer star sea.
I've looked at the items sold on the black market outside the alien sea these past two days. There aren't any excessively rare items, just some that are scarce for the alien sea itself.
Remembering what Doron had said about the things they bought and sold, Mingmei's gaze couldn't help but wander to the sleeves of the black robes around her, where they were constantly clashing.
Will we encounter people from beyond the outer sea here?
...
As an alien sea player, he ironically ended up as a legion soldier in the game, leaving Pegasus speechless.
Following the NPC veterans, Pegasus "secretly" infiltrated the alien sea. Pegasus really wanted to say, "I know this place well, bro, you're with me!"
To his surprise, the NPC's actions during this round made Pegasus even more silent.
Is this NPC a Legion soldier?
Isn't this more upright and righteous than him, a mouse pretending to be a cat?
How could they be more familiar with him than this guy who grew up in an alien ocean?
Why?
Standing beside his senior, Tenma watched as he and a notorious speculator from the outer space black market traded the supplies looted during the anti-pirate operation. Tenma couldn't help but pull his hood down a little.
Why do I feel inexplicably embarrassed?
He had traded supplies and information here before, but he had never bargained like this before. Those guys who sold information and peddled supplies always had an arrogant attitude. He had never seen such a troubled and anxious tone in his bargaining before.
Pegasus was even a little angry, feeling that the game design was deliberately portraying the people from the alien sea in a negative light.
Thinking this, Pegasus suddenly paused, feeling a gaze fall upon him, a gaze that held a probing intent, instantly making him tense...
