rush to score

In a big city with a population of more than [-] million, there are always some places far away from people's vision. They exist within the rules, but outside the morality. They limit its customers with high admission tickets and become a kind of exclusive enjoyment for the rich. .The Holy Flame Business Club was built in the last century when it was just opened. Because of the serious aura of local tyrants in the name, the young members who come here usually call it Fme directly.

At night, colorful lights lit up outside the semi-Chinese-style building, surrounding the entire building. It looked like there was a lot of electricity bills and no place to spend it.

In the parking lot, a black Porsche drove in. Dong Dilun handed over the car keys to the parking attendant. Liang Xi got off the co-pilot and went to the trunk to take out his sword bag and carried it on his back. On a hot day, Liang Xi still had a mask covering most of his face, and a peaked cap on his head was pressed down very low.

He didn't think about asking Dylan Dong to send him here, but as soon as he got out of the subway, that person appeared as if he had counted the time.Over and over again, Dong Dilun followed his itinerary privately, which annoyed Liang Xi: "I said I would come, you don't have to stare at me like a fugitive, don't you have nothing else to do all day long?" Can it be done?"

Dong Dilun laughed coquettishly: "It's not easy to find here, and it's a membership-only club. You can't get in without a card."

Liang Xi glanced at him and walked two steps into the hall, and entered the revolving door. Under Dong Dylan's surprised gaze, Liang Xi took out a small card from his pocket and handed it to the waiter at the front desk. With a beep, the registration was completed. .

"Two gentlemen, this way please."

The waiter followed them into the elevator room and asked politely, "Would you like to take a bath first or eat first?" Her eyes swept over the floor buttons one by one.

"We're going to the show tonight." Dong Dilun winked at the waitress.

The female receptionist lowered her head and pressed the button on the second basement floor.

The elevator descended slowly, and Liang Xi leaned on the full-length mirror behind him to think about the philosophy of life.

He didn't quite understand it at first, but Dong Dilun asked him whether he could swallow the roadside stalls after he was used to high-end restaurants. Now he finally understood the meaning-this question was not about whether he could accept the decline in the quality of life, but whether he could accept the decline in the quality of life. It is saying, if one day you are short of money, and you knew that there is a way to get money quickly, would you still earn money in a down-to-earth manner?

The answer is, probably not.

Bai Xuzhou was short of money, so he went to work in a place where he used to enjoy himself, because he knew that people in that place were generous, and tips were often hundreds or thousands.Now that Liang Xi wants to help, the first thing he thinks of is not playing games or looking for a job seriously, but returning to his old profession.

He doesn't want to play underground games, but if he needs money, he doesn't mind making money through it, it's just...

"Tell me in advance that if I check the equipment and find it is red, I will leave immediately, and I will not care about your breach of contract." Red, the jargon means that the sword has been cut, and there will be blood in a match.

Dong Dilun smiled like a good fox: "Don't worry, it's hard to find a place like Bopin if you want to be popular. It's just an exhibition game. A game costs [-] US dollars. If I have you With such good technical conditions, I will definitely spend here every day.”

Liang Xi looked at him coldly and didn't answer.

Dong Dilun didn't seem to feel the low pressure around him, and he kept talking, "After all, who would think too much of money? Well, we're here." He turned sideways and made an inviting gesture, waiting for Liang Xi followed after she walked out.

The competition will officially start at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and now the entire floor is almost empty, only a few staff members and players shuttle between the venue.Liang Xi didn't want to talk too much nonsense with Dong Dylan, so he found an opportunity to plunge into the lounge by himself.

The lounges here are all single rooms, just like hotel rooms, with beds and sofas in the lounge, but the place where the safe is placed in the ordinary room is replaced with an emergency medical box.

Liang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, took off his hat and mask and leaned against the bed in a daze. He knew he was making a mistake, but there was no way out.Now, his only wish is to get the fifty thousand dollars and run away.

Dong Dilun said it was an exhibition match, but its intensity was not comparable to that of a normal match.

The main reason is that the fight between the two people present is not just a matter of the two of them, but a lot of bosses betting money on their winning or losing.If you win, you get the appearance fee, and your value in the underground circle will increase; if you lose, not only the appearance fee is in vain, but also your value in the circle will be greatly reduced. Just looking for trouble.

This feeling is comparable to that of livestock whose prices are clearly marked on the racetrack, but it is even worse. After all, horse racing is just a lap without two horses "fighting to the death" in the middle of the field.

Liang Xi's ranking had been good before that, and the underground player codenamed "Cheetah" was worth soaring all the way, arousing envy.

As soon as the news that "Cheetah" came to Boping to play this time was released, a single stone stirred up a thousand waves, causing the entire underground circle participating in this event to be uneasy.

According to Dong Dilun, there is not even one list of people who signed up to challenge him. According to the regulations, the one with the highest ranking among the challengers will be selected to participate in the duel with him tonight.

Liang Xi sighed, and secretly prayed that the opponent was at least a serious fencer, not a fighter, so that at least there would be rules in the fight... That's right, this kind of underground competition is just a layer of fencing. In fact, the core has all changed, and it is more like a sword fight than a sports competition.

At [-]:[-] in the evening, a silver-gray McLaren drove into the parking lot of Fme.

At this time, there were already a lot of vehicles outside, and there was no parking space at first glance. The parking boy ran to the side of the car and wiped the sweat from his forehead.The number of guests who came here today was a bit too much compared to usual. I heard that some influential figures came here, but he didn't see who was special after being here for a whole day.

"Hello, the parking lot here is full. I'll park your car in the parking lot of the hotel opposite. Come out and pick it up later. Do you think it's okay?" He looked into the lowered car window. Very young, with slender and beautiful hands on the steering wheel.

"Ah."

"Okay, I'm really sorry, we have a lot of guests tonight." The parking boy took the key and waited for the guests to get out.

"Look, I told you to come here early, but you didn't listen." Wei Chengyi got off the co-pilot, put his arms around Lu Mingchuan's shoulder, and was immediately pushed away by the latter in disgust.

"You said you were coming, I don't want to waste time in this kind of place."

"Hey, how many times have I told you, it's not just fighting, but..."

"It's an underground illegal fencing competition." Lu Mingchuan continued. He glanced at the brothers beside him, a little speechless, "When did this kind of competitive gambling, which is the middle-aged boss's favorite, become your hobby? Come with me once, and again today."

"I didn't bet!" Wei Chengyi said angrily, "I didn't bet, okay? I just think this kind of game is quite exciting, and I have also watched a game of 'Cheetah' abroad. Professional, without those messy low-level routines, you can just treat it like going to a fencing match."

"Then I have no objection?" Lu Mingchuan followed suit.

To be honest, he didn't have too much expectation for today's game. The main reason why he agreed to Wei Chengyi was that he didn't want to stay in the hotel and quarrel with Jiang Xiajiao.

Speaking of which, Lu Mingchuan actually didn't hate this girl, and even admired her freedom and sharpness when he was with her.However, after getting along for more and more time, Lu Mingchuan realized that he might have made a wrong choice, especially in recent days, she was always like a powder keg, and she would explode at any point.

As soon as there was any trouble, she felt that Lu Mingchuan was going to run away from her, and this kind of excessive jealousy had put the relationship between the two in jeopardy.

Lu Mingchuan guessed that Jiang Xiajiao should also know it in his heart, but he was not ready to bring up the matter of breaking up.

When Lu Mingchuan and Wei Chengyi took the elevator to the second basement of Fme, Liang Xi didn't know anything about their arrival—if he knew that Lu Mingchuan would come today, he wouldn't agree to Dong Dilun's invitation even if he was killed .

He was doing something that would shame his career, and obviously Liang Xi didn't want to see Lu Mingchuan at this time.

But many things seem to follow Murphy's law perfectly. As long as there is a possibility of going bad, it will definitely go bad.

Liang Xi sat in the room, quietly waiting for the battle. He took out the helmet that had not been used for a long time from his black sword bag.His palm landed on the metal grid side of the helmet, and he looked at the graffiti of the cheetah sprayed with paint. Under the illusion, the lifelike cheetah seemed to roll its eyes.

Liang Xi came back to his senses, blinked, and suddenly felt his heart skip a beat... He had some bad premonitions.

That's it.

Liang Xi told himself in his heart that this was the only time he would completely stay away from the arena he didn't like after he got the bonus, and he would stand upright on the international stage and win honorary medals in the name of the country.

The twelve o'clock bell rang resoundingly on the second basement floor. At the same time, the classical music played during the waiting period was cut off. The moment the music was cut off, thunderous applause and cheers came from the stands upstairs and downstairs. , For a moment like a wave engulfed this crazy night.

The first basement and the second basement of the hotel are connected. The second basement is the arena, surrounded by ordinary auditoriums, while the upper floor is relatively comfortable seats, with a giant LCD screen hanging in the center for real-time broadcast - the only one here The only thing that can’t be done is filming. In addition, whether it is loud applause or coaxing the stage in various ways, it is allowed. Even, if there is money that cannot be spent, you can choose to throw it out directly.

Liang Xi was in the room listening to the movement outside, his heartbeat became faster and faster.

His reason told him that this kind of game should not be recognized or participated in, but when he heard these calls and the whistle of the game, he couldn't restrain his adrenaline rush, let alone his desire for victory. The longing for... No matter what kind of game, he wants to win.

Liang Xi's appearance was arranged until the end. It was one o'clock in the morning, and the previous two games had ended. Liang Xi changed into his protective clothing, put on the mask with cheetah graffiti, and waited for what was about to happen.

According to the regulations of the underground competition, all players will not wear the shields in the protective clothing, and there is no hard object to protect the chest. However, if he uses too much strength, it will not only be the result of a bruise or broken skin, but he will face the danger of fractures, muscle damage and so on.

are you afraid?

Liang Xi asked himself.

When he participated in the underground competition for the first time, he used to shrink back, but then he recalled some memories about Lu Mingchuan for some reason.

When he was a child, he was very arrogant relying on his own skills, and he often didn't wear guards during actual combat training. Once he was discovered by Liang Xi, he was shocked and accused: "Brother, how dangerous you are."

What did the man say?

"They had no chance of stabbing me, with or without the guard," he said.

As he grows up, the level of competition he participates in is getting higher and higher. Naturally, this phenomenon will not happen again. However, what Lu Mingchuan said left a deep impression on Liang Xi... He is not afraid, he wants to be like his elder brother Mingchuan Brave, if the brother can do it, so can he.

As long as you don't get stabbed, Liang Xi finally took a deep breath.

"The next show is also the last show of our carnival tonight. I believe everyone is familiar with the name 'Cheetah', so I won't introduce too much, and I will hand over the stage to him and his opponent today!"

Accompanied by the host's impassioned string of words, accompanied by the cheers and shouts of the audience, a figure slowly walked out from the shadow of the stage, the spotlight hit his face, and a lifelike cheetah was baring its fangs, ready to fight at any time. Attack the enemy's throat.

On the stands on the basement floor, Lu Mingchuan's eyes suddenly turned...
