Mermaid Throne

The highly topical teenager made the competition staff immediately adjust the competition process.They hope that there will be more exciting pictures in the final round of the selection competition, so they keep pushing Tao Yiran's scoring competition forward, just for the players who have accumulated enough physical strength to make them sell more expensive ones at the final round. tickets.

Tao Yiran got the revised schedule, and was stunned. Rong Xuan snatched it, and immediately became furious: "Two games a day... for three days in a row?! Are they treating you like a machine!"

Even Rong Xuan himself can't guarantee to maintain his form in the round-the-clock competition, not to mention that this is an underground boxing arena, any mistake may cause serious injuries. Even if the competition is won, serious injuries are not uncommon.

Tao Yiran curled his lips: "It's an old trick. They think that in this way, even the points race can be sold at a good price."

"But..." Before Rong Xuan finished speaking, someone rubbed his head and interrupted what he was going to say next. "Let's go eat something good today." Tao Yiran raised the corners of his lips, took out a thick wad of banknotes from his pocket and shook, "Winning yesterday was so cool."

Rong Xuan lowered his head, feeling unwilling.It's never his style to be bullied and still swallow his anger, but since he left Mermaid Island, the word "forbearance" seems to have been engraved on his back, forcing him to keep silent every time.

Tao Yiran didn't know that his negative emotions were brewing, so he just dragged him to the most upscale restaurant in the shopping street.If it was the young master mermaid in the past, he would just sneer at such a so-called "upscale", but now, the young master who saw the price of the menu immediately widened his eyes: "It's expensive!"

Fifteen gold for a dessert.

A dish costs forty gold.

Even drinks cost ten gold!

Tao Yiran didn't care: "There are two more games today, after eating."

"...It was because you were so profligate in the past that you lost all your savings after losing?" Rong Xuan said suddenly.

The boy who was eating the cake gave a hand.

"Do you know what to order for two hundred gold is the most cost-effective and the most filling?" Rong Xuan asked again.

The illiterate, furious and angry, plunged his fork into the cake: "Damn it! Do you want to eat it or not!"

"Eat." Rong Xuan looked at the menu, but what he thought in his heart was: This guy probably has been deceived a lot before.

After a while, I heard the child say again: "I taught you this question before."

"...I don't know!" The vicious young man didn't even lift his head.

Rong Xuan put up the menu and showed him: "Look, this is a free refill. Although it is more expensive than No. [-], we only need to drink two cups to earn back. Besides, his calories are higher than No. [-]." , is suitable for boxers. And this, although fifty gold, but it contains meat and vegetables, which means that we can order one less dish, and it complements the nutrition of drinks..."

"..."

"Hey, what's this word?"

"..."

"Stupid, I don't even understand the word 'Baking', this method is..."

Tao Yiran buried his head in eating the cake, hating himself for not steaming the fish right away when he snatched it.

In the end, not only did the money not run out, but he also used the remaining money to buy a set of waist protectors.

Tao Yiran took the waist guard, feeling a little complicated.When he first came to power, he was very poor.At that time, he even asked the boss for credit for his trousers, and he didn't have any protective equipment on him, and even his shoes were ordinary soft shoes.

At that time, he really gambled with his life.Either stand on the stage in fear, or live without dignity.But now, stepping into the ring again, he still faces this choice.

It's just that one more person is concerned about his safety.

In the afternoon, in the seventh round of the 120th God of Fighting Tournament, Tao Yiran had just come on stage when he heard deafening booing from the audience.

In fact, it's not that everyone doesn't want Tao Yiran to win, but compared to his opponent, this young man is really too thin.If the surprise attack was successful last time, then this time, this opponent whose neck was thicker than his thigh really made people lose sight of Tao Yiran's hope of another miracle.

The bartender borrowed fifty and got back one hundred, this time he directly borrowed two hundred from them. "Come on." Before Tao Yiran came to the stage, the man who always had a playful smile on his face rarely punched Tao Yiran seriously.

Rong Xuan lay on the edge of the stage, discussing with Tao Yiran in a low voice.

"How long will we fight this time?"

"Let's make a quick decision, there is another one tonight."

"Are you... all right?" Even Rong Xuan was a little worried.It's not surprising that a small person wins a big one, but Tao Yiran is an ordinary human being, no matter how hard he tries, he can't get rid of his physical limitations.

Rong Xuan didn't know what kind of achievements this person had achieved in the boxing ring before, but Tao Yiran's performance was not amazing when he was training under the sea.Now that he was really facing those cruel competitions, Rong Xuan realized how naive the previous reason for persuading him to take the stage was.

Tao Yiran didn't answer, just leaned on the corner cushion, closed his eyes and rested.

His hair was grown a little longer, covering his slightly hazy eyes.Maybe it's because there are more people living together, the sharp corners of the boy's eyes softened a lot, so that when he took the stage yesterday, no one even noticed the power contained in this thin and small body.

During the physical examination yesterday, the nutritionist shook his head while looking at the results.The child is too thin.Maybe it was because of the hard life since he was a child, and the lack of enough rest and nutritional supplements during the growing period, so that he lost the possibility of becoming an evolutionary person in the future-this is fatal news for all underground boxers.

However, Tao Yiran was not disappointed.After his worst failure at the age of 16, he knew that it was impossible for him to become an evolutionary person again.

That failure broke his whole body, and he was thrown into a dirty alley like a piece of garbage.A passing wild dog almost bit off his ear, if he hadn't climbed to the black clinic with his unbroken left hand, maybe he would have become a wild dog's meal.

Weak, they are like ants that can be crushed to death at any time.Even if he suddenly disappeared into this world, no one would come to offer a little mercy.

The bell was rung, and the boy slowly opened his eyes, looking at this world of the jungle.

Since you choose to survive, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Opponents have been carefully selected by the management. "How to attract attention" is the most important job of these people. As for fairness?It has long been sold by the catty.

Tao Yiran's two opponents today, one is the veteran player in front of him, and the other is a rising star.The veteran was very cautious. After learning the lesson of the previous loser, he immediately defended after attacking, leaving no openings for Tao Yiran.

After playing for more than ten minutes, the scores of the two were still the same.The audience who were looking forward to seeing the wonderful ending uttered angrier booing sounds, whether it was for the veteran or Tao Yiran, whom they were looking forward to but were not optimistic about.

Sweat gradually oozed from Tao Yiran's forehead.

This was his second match. Without the surprise attack, his physical disadvantage was particularly prominent in front of this strong man, and his unfamiliarity, who had not been on stage for a long time, was also fully exposed when facing an old fritter.

During the intermission, the teenager leaned on the corner cushion, chewed on his straw, and looked up at the strong light from the ceiling lamp.There was no blind spot on the stage, his every move was clearly illuminated by the strong light, and all his shortcomings were seen by everyone, even the piranha behind him was too nervous to speak.

"I'm hungry. What shall we eat tonight?" Tao Yiran suddenly asked the little mermaid in the audience when the bell rang.

"Ah?" Rong Xuan was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why he asked such a question.

The child didn't react until Tao Yiran knocked him down with another punch and pinned his opponent on the ground for more than ten seconds.

"You old man, if I knew it was such a waste of my energy, I wouldn't eat it so expensive at noon." Tao Yiran wiped off his sweat with a towel and stepped off the ring.The audience in the audience couldn't understand why the boy who had just managed to draw just now suddenly erupted. The roar was not cheers but curses in astonishment. card boy.

Rong Xuan quickly caught up with him, tugged at the corner of his clothes and asked, "Why did you explode suddenly? Didn't you mean a quick fight? Why did it take more than ten minutes? There are still..."

"I read less than you, but I fight more than you." Tao Yiran took the nutrition bar given by the bartender in his mouth, and squinted at the child behind him: "Since everyone wants to see me win with one blow, right?" This kind of old man can only be done if he relaxes his vigilance. After playing for more than ten minutes, he thought I had a fatal flaw, so he focused on it.” At this point, he smiled, “But sir How can I have shortcomings."

Exposing any of his flaws would kill him. Tao Yiran is also a smarter gambler than he is a boxer who gambles with his life.

Rong Xuan blinked, and for a moment felt that this scumbag was shining like a halo.

It's a pity that the moment didn't last long. When ordering food, the illiterate pretended to understand because he couldn't recognize the word for "lice". Rong Xuan almost flipped the table when he saw a plate of worms.

In the night's battle, a young man who was not a few years older than Tao Yiran came up.Speaking of which, there are only a handful of teenagers who can stand to the end in the boxing ring. Like Tao Yiran when he was 16 years old, a large part of his fame is due to his age.Even now, it is still too fragile for boxing.

After seeing the game in the afternoon, the people who came to see Tao Yiran were much calmer, but those who didn't know were still aiming at the title of "Youngest Rising Star Showdown" posed by the organizers of the tournament.As soon as the two stood on the stage, the applause from the audience was overwhelmingly given to the young man who looked more energetic.

But this time the odds have changed from five to three in the afternoon, and Rong Xuan, who bet three hundred gold, is very regretful.

The entire game lasted less than 5 minutes.

Tao Yiran stood next to the young man who fell to the ground but was still struggling, said "You are too weak, you shouldn't mistakenly think that you are strong", and stepped off the stage.

The young man's eyes were immediately filled with despair, but Tao Yiran didn't think he was wrong.

He felt like he was helping him.If a place like this doesn't recognize its own abilities, there will be no better end than being thrown out like garbage after failure.

If it's about making money, it's time to get out before your luck runs out.Is not it?

Because Rong Xuan was very close to the boxing ring, he was the only outsider who heard this sentence besides the referee.

He stood there in a daze, until he was carried out by Tao Yiran on his shoulders, and then he asked, "I'm weak too, right?"

Tao Yiran thought for a while before answering: "It's not too late to realize it now. If you realize it and fight again, at least you can still know how to beg for mercy. Instead of dying on the stage for no reason."

Rong Xuan raised his upper body, grabbed his shoulders tightly, and said, "But I don't want to beg for mercy."

"Are you annoying? If you don't want to, just go to training. It's right to always feel that you are weak. When you practice until you tell others, 'I am actually very weak' but when others want to beat you but know that you can't be beaten, you even beg for mercy." There is no chance." Tao Yiran has no patience to comfort him, he will not be a good person, let alone a good brother.He can't even say nice things.

But he still comforted Rong Xuan.

At this moment, the child no longer objected to the other party touching his buttocks.Small hands went around his neck and hugged the stupid human tightly.

Nasty guy.

Rong Xuan buried his face behind his ear, thinking.
