Man at the top of the food chain
Volume 5: Burning Earth Chapter 31: Waves
Two months later, Free City, Amest Federation.
As one of the most prosperous cities in Amest Federation, it is the most populous city in the entire Western Continent. It is also the most diverse city.
It has people and immigrants from more than 70 countries, and more than 500 languages are used here.
It has the most developed subway network in the world, providing 24-hour uninterrupted service.
As one of the economic, cultural, financial and political centers of the entire Western Continent, this world-class city has a great influence. It was once known as the center of the entire world.
However, no matter how prosperous a place is, there will be dark corners.
In the suburbs of Free City, in a huge warehouse, countless spectators roared excitedly. In their center, there is a cage surrounded by barbed wire. In the cage, two strong white men are fighting to the death.
Underground black boxing, fighters from all over the world gather here. Most of them participate in fights for money. Among them, those who are lucky can gradually become famous, and even be invited to regular fighting events, earn enough money, and finally retire safely.
But most people with bad luck can only disappear from the stage with injuries and meager appearance fees.
As the audience roared, the fight on the field became more intense. A boxer was suddenly hit on the forehead by a punch, followed by a violent attack. When he fainted on the ground, he had completely lost consciousness.
After the ten-second countdown, the referee raised the winner's hand. It was a white man who was more than two meters tall, with marble-like muscles, a beast-like face, and a roaring lion tattooed on his back.
When the referee raised his arm to announce the victory, the audience shouted.
"Lion King!"
"Lion King!"
"Lion King!"
In the lounge, the black boxing player nicknamed Lion King was untying the bandage on his hand little by little. At this time, a black man walked into the lounge with a laugh.
"Hey. Jason, we won again, this is your appearance fee." As he said, the black man handed a stack of money to Jason.
Jason just accepted it silently without saying much. But the black man didn't care. He had long been accustomed to Jason's indifference. As long as the other party could fight and help him make money, he didn't care about the other party's character problems.
The black man patted the muscles on Jason's back and said with a smile: "Jason, my brother, you must have never thought about what happened. I have good news for you. MMA invited us. Hahaha, I have booked a flight for you tonight, you should prepare well. Fighting a match there, the appearance fee alone is 100,000."
As he spoke, he patted the muscles on Jason's arm, his face full of excitement.
But Jason sighed when he heard the news. He said lightly: "Sorry, I'm afraid I can't participate in MMA."
"What?" The black man looked at Jason in confusion: "Are you kidding? That's MMA. Even if you lose, you can get 20,000 per game, my brother. Besides, you are sure to win."
Jason replied indifferently: "I have booked a flight ticket for this weekend. I'm going to Daxia. Today is probably my last game."
"Are you kidding?" The black man looked at Jason in disbelief, and suddenly screamed: "Damn it, are you really going to participate in that fighting competition?"
"The world's first unlimited fighting competition. I want to go and see." Jason's face showed a trace of longing.
The black man cursed and shouted: "Are you stupid? Do you really believe in those magic and witchcraft things? I heard that people in Daxia don't even have toilets. Maybe you will be infected with some virus and die as soon as you get off the plane."
"It's a superpower. Not witchcraft." Jason didn't explain too much. In this era, the Western Continent. Especially the people of the three major powers, have a natural sense of superiority over the Eastern world. Whether in official propaganda or in their own impressions, the East is always a poor and backward country.
The rumors of superpowers some time ago are also a sign of their superstition and feudalism.
Looking at the black man who was still complaining, Jason shook his head, put away his backpack, and walked out of the lounge. He also didn't know what the East and Daxia were like. He was not sure whether superpowers existed or not.
But anyway, he wanted to give it a try. Just to gain more powerful power, to gain power to dominate his own destiny.
The feeling that every cell in the body is pursuing power is something that ordinary people cannot understand.
…
Tianjing, airport.
In the sea of people, a 14 or 15-year-old boy was looking around intently, whether it was the endless flow of people, the majestic airport hall, or all kinds of unprecedented advanced facilities, which he had never seen in his hometown.
Behind the boy was a thin middle-aged man who looked a little malnourished. The man touched the boy's head and said happily, "How is Xilan? How is Tianjing?"
"There are many better masters than ours. But there are many powerful guys." The boy's eyes revealed a trace of curiosity and excitement, and kept wandering around some black and white people. These guys looked strong and powerful, and their eyes were full of indifference and vigilance.
The young Xilan said with some excitement and some worry: "Are they all participating in the unlimited fighting competition?"
"I don't think so." The middle-aged man said: "We are the ones who came earlier. Next week is Li Anping's coronation ceremony. The fighting competition will be held in two weeks." At this point, the middle-aged man sniffed his nose and said: "These guys have a strong smell of blood on their bodies. I'm afraid they are here for the coronation ceremony."
Xilan nodded as if he understood, and suddenly asked: "Then Master, can we go to watch the ceremony?"
"Of course not." A young man in a suit and glasses ran over from behind. When he heard what Xilan said, he immediately refused and said: "Be careful, this is Daxia, don't talk nonsense, and lose the dignity of our Star."
This is the diplomat of Star who accompanied Xilan and his master. As a small inland country in the southernmost part of the East Continent. Star may be the poorest among the countries in southern Xinjiang.
The emperor of their generation is a person who admires masters and worships the strong. Unfortunately, the country of Star is small and weak, with few masters. The strongest ones are only two fourth-level ability users.
After hearing about the unlimited fighting competition that Li Anping was going to hold, he insisted on holding one in his own country, and then sent the champions to participate in the competition in Daxia and win a good ranking.
Obviously, Xilan and his master were sent out under such circumstances.
The diplomat kept nagging at them: "Remember, when you meet people from Daxia who come to pick you up, don't say anything, just leave everything to me.
Also, don't use your abilities indiscriminately. This is Daxia. Don't cause trouble for me and create diplomatic disputes.
Also, be careful not to look around all the time, as if you have never seen the world. Remember, respect the customs and traditions of other countries, and don't interfere in their internal affairs. These have been repeatedly emphasized before boarding the plane."
Although Xilan and his master did not refute, they looked absent-minded, and it was unknown how much they heard. However, they have been repeatedly taught that they cannot use their abilities casually.
Since Li Anping made the existence of people with special abilities public, everyone in Daxia knows that there are superpowers in this world. The management of superpowers is also stricter than before.
It can be said that all local superpowers in Daxia are strictly monitored.
However, after being more strictly controlled than before, they also received more benefits.
First of all, all people with special abilities will participate in training. The best talents will be assigned to the legendary Academy City supervised by Li Anping himself to receive the most elite education. After graduation, they will directly join the Dragon Bird of Daxia. When they are studying, they will receive subsidies of more than 100,000 yuan per month.
The remaining people with special abilities will be assigned to join some schools for people with special abilities run by the nine royal families according to their talents, qualifications and various exams. After graduation, they will either join the police or join violent agencies such as the army. Of course, some who are completely unsuitable for combat will be selected into civilian positions.
It can be said that since last year, all local people with special abilities in Daxia either belong to the government or are imprisoned.
If you are a little bit unwilling to work for the government, then I'm sorry. The government will give you a generous subsidy and benefits, but you will be under the government's supervision for your whole life. If you go abroad or go to other places, you must report it in advance.
Of course, Xilan guessed that there must be some hidden ability users in Daxia, but as long as the ability users break through to the first energy level, they will have the spirit. Unless you stay at level zero for your whole life, it is only a matter of time before you are exposed.
At this time, an official from Daxia came to them holding a sign to pick them up at the airport. When the diplomat saw it, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face and happily talked to him.
Although Xilan had learned a little Daxia language beforehand, Star was close to Baiyue, and the official language has always been Baiyue language, so he didn't understand what the two said.
Only the diplomat who was usually arrogant nodded and bowed at this time, chatted for a few words, and then followed the other party.
He turned around and shouted, "You two, hurry up and catch up."
"Remember, after checking into the hotel, don't run around casually, and remember to report anything."
As for the competition, he didn't mention it. The two people in front of him might be top masters in Star, but in a big country like Daxia, there are so many masters that he didn't expect Xilan and his team to win.
Xilan shrugged and didn't take it to heart. He glanced aside again, and at some point, some staff in blue and white uniforms appeared around him.
Seeing the other party's uniform, Xilan heard the master beside him muttering, "People from Daxia Dragon Bird?"
