The night in Dihuo City was much the same as the day. The sea of magma cast the entire sky a brilliant crimson. The full moon hanging high in the sky was dim and lifeless. The stars, what on earth were they? The people of Dihuo City had never seen them before.
The scenery of this Earth Fire City is unique, different from other places, and is full of a touch of enchanting beauty.
However, Lai Siyu was not in the mood to appreciate this unique exotic scenery. Since it has been confirmed that this is a conspiracy, how to break this situation?
And there is still no news about Daxue and others, which is really worrying.
Forget it, let’s wait and see first.
The next morning, the waiter came knocking on the door.
"Sir, we should set off now. There's still half an hour until the competition."
"good."
The door creaked open, and Lai Siyu walked out. She was wearing a light green dress, and her black satin-like hair was simply tied back with a jade hairpin inserted diagonally.
The sunlight from the window fell on her, casting a soft glow on her and adding a layer of mystery to her.
She was like a goddess who had just walked down from the clouds, breathtakingly beautiful.
The waiter couldn't help but stare in amazement, and only came to his senses when Lai Siyu called him.
"let's go!"
"Uh... let's go, where are we going?"
"Watch the ring match."
"Oh, yes, it's about to start. Sir, please follow me."
The waiter patted his head, pulled himself back to his senses, and took Lai Siyu downstairs.
After leaving the inn, the two headed west. The arena was in the west of the city, not far from the inn.
The arena in the west of the city was already packed with people, all waiting to buy tickets.
Looking at the long queue, Lai Siyu couldn't help but frown. How long will it take to wait?
Seeing this, the waiter hurriedly said, "Don't worry, sir. Follow me."
Lai Siyu followed the waiter through the crowd and arrived at a small door next to the ticket office. He took out a jade slip and handed it to the guard at the door. The guard used his spiritual sense to examine it, then opened the small door and gestured for them to enter.
Behind the small door was a small hall selling tickets. There were not many people in the hall, and as soon as the two entered, someone came to greet them.
"Hey, Quanzi, you've brought guests."
"Yes, Deacon Zhou, this is a distinguished guest of our store."
The waiter introduced Lai Siyu to the visitor and said goodbye to her. In front of Deacon Zhou, Lai Siyu gave the waiter a low-grade fairy crystal as a reward.
Deacon Zhou saw Lai Siyu's behavior and felt warm in his heart. It seemed that this female cultivator was indeed a distinguished guest, and he had to serve her well.
You know, people in Dihuo City are extremely stingy, and few people have the habit of tipping.
If Lai Siyu knew that tipping was not popular in Dihuo City, she would definitely be furious. Her immortal crystals... well, she really wasn't rich...
Deacon Zhou asked Lai Siyu to sit down and personally served her spiritual tea.
The spiritual tea of Dihuo City contains rich fire spiritual energy. Lai Siyu felt warm all over after taking a sip.
Deacon Zhou waved his hand, and a 3D image of the arena appeared in front of him. Some of the seats on the image glowed red, while others glowed white.
"Dear guest, which seat would you like? The red seats are sold, and the white seats are not. The outermost circle is the private room, which is more private.
Our ring matches are life-or-death contests, and the match doesn't end until someone dies, making them highly entertaining. You can also place bets before the match. If you're betting big, I recommend using a private room. Our rooms have a secret passage, and they're extremely confidential. No matter how much you win or lose, no one will ever know.
"Wow, we can place bets, that's great! The host chooses the private room!" When Panlong Jian heard Deacon Zhou say that they could place bets, he couldn't control himself and kept urging Lai Siyu to choose a private room.
"What's the price?" Lai Siyu ignored the Panlong Sword and directly asked about the price of Deacon Zhou's position.
"A private room costs five high-grade immortal crystals, a first-class seat costs one high-grade immortal crystal, a second-class seat costs fifty medium-grade immortal crystals, a third-class seat costs twenty medium-grade immortal crystals, a fourth-class seat costs one medium-grade immortal crystal, and standing outside costs fifty low-grade immortal crystals."
"Why is it so expensive?" Lai Siyu exclaimed.
They always ask for high-grade and medium-grade immortal crystals. This is too shady. Even robbery is not as shady as this.
Deacon Zhou chuckled and said, "No matter how expensive it is, it's not expensive at all! You see, people die in every competition, and our competition arena has to pay out a lot of pensions every day. If we charge too little, we won't have immortal crystals to pay the relatives of the deceased."
The private rooms and first-class seats are indeed better. The private rooms are quiet, and the first-class seats are closer to the front, but they are very spacious and comfortable.
The second-class seats are a bit more crowded, and the third-class seats are even more densely packed together. The fourth-class seats are not even chairs, they are all stools. As for standing places, they are in the open space outside the fourth-class seats.
Lai Siyu thought about it and reluctantly chose a second-class seat.
She could still afford fifty pieces of medium-grade immortal crystals, but as for the high-grade immortal crystals, forget it. They were feed for the Bagua Plate, and she didn't dare to use them carelessly.
Besides, she is now short of top-grade immortal crystals. There is no other way, because the Bagua Plate has such a big appetite.
Fortunately, the Bagua Plate is picky about food, otherwise, she would not even dare to use the mid-grade immortal crystal, which would be tragic.
Seeing that Lai Siyu chose a second-class seat, Deacon Zhou could still accept this choice. After all, he could get a commission as long as it was second class or above, including second-class seats.
Deacon Zhou respectfully handed the ticket Lai Siyu bought to her, and then personally sent Lai Siyu to the arena and found her seat.
Although the second-class seats are not as spacious as the first-class seats, they are still quite comfortable. There is a small coffee table next to the chairs with a cup of steaming spiritual tea on it.
"Deacon Zhou, is there anything else?" Lai Siyu asked after taking her seat, thinking that the service in this arena was really thoughtful.
Deacon Zhou's unhappy smile froze upon hearing this, and then he said with an awkward smile, "Nothing, nothing, then... then I'll withdraw."
Lai Siyu waved her hand and said, "Well, you can leave now."
Deacon Zhou: Wuwu, sister, did you forget something? Where's the tip? "Then I'm really leaving..."
Lai Siyu: "Well, take care!"
Deacon Zhou was dumbfounded. Are they really going to let him go?
Where’s the tip you promised me?
He had seen with his own eyes the female cultivator give Quanzi a low-grade immortal crystal before, but how come when it came to him... there was no news at all.
Damn it, if he had known there would be no tip, why would he serve me personally?
Seeing that there was no tip, Deacon Zhou's face instantly darkened. He glanced at Lai Siyu, snorted coldly, and left.
Lai Siyu glanced at him in confusion, thinking, "This guy must be a psycho..."
