112: Super Beast Fighting Contest

Zhao Zicong pushed up his glasses, pondered for a moment, and broke the silence first: "Brother Lin, your proposal is indeed very attractive, but the risks cannot be ignored."

"However, just as Ryunosuke said, we don't have a better choice right now."

"If it succeeds, I wonder how Brother Lin plans to distribute the profits?"

Ishida Ryunosuke also looked at Lin Fei; this question was indeed critical, as it involved the team's subsequent resource allocation.

Lin Fei's expression was calm as he held up three fingers: "The Super Beast Fighting Tournament is a team competition."

"I guarantee our team will secure victory."

"When that happens, I only want 30% of the profits."

"The remaining 70% can be distributed among yourselves."

"I am responsible for fighting in the arena, while you are responsible for providing the funds and placing the bets outside; we each get what we need."

30%!

This number shocked everyone in the room once again.

One must know that if Lin Fei could truly sweep the Super Beast Fighting Tournament as he claimed, the profits they would gain from their invested star coins, after being multiplied by high odds, would be an astronomical figure.

And yet, Lin Fei, as the core of the plan and the absolute main force, only wanted a mere 30%!

This boldness and generosity instantly won the goodwill and admiration of everyone present.

"Brother Lin is truly righteous!" Zhao Zicong's eyes flashed, and he said solemnly, "In that case, I, Zhao Zicong, am willing to bet on this with Brother Lin!"

"Count me, Wang Hu, in!" Wang Hu also patted his chest and said in a muffled voice, "Damn it, if we can't complete the pass mission, we'll just descend into the Great World when the time comes."

"It just means we won't be able to go to the Advanced area."

"But according to the intel, the Advanced area will still be opened to all players after some time!"

"I'll join too!" The Female Mage and the Sniper also expressed their stance.

The other players in the room were also infected by this boldness and expressed their willingness to join this daring plan.

There was no other way; up until now, they had only saved up a hundred thousand or so star coins.

The goal of 1 million was simply nowhere in sight.

Instead of slowly waiting for death, it was better to take a big gamble.

What if they won?

For a moment, the crowd was filled with excitement.

A temporary Alliance with Lin Fei at its core and Ishida Ryunosuke, Zhao Zicong, and others as the backbone was formed.

That night, sixteen players.

They pooled their respective star coins together and eventually gathered nearly 7 million star coins; this was everything they had.

...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Super Beast Fighting Tournament arrived as scheduled.

On this day, the entire Advanced area of the Starship was immersed in a fanatical, festive atmosphere.

Outside the Giant Insect Arena, it was packed with people, shoulder to shoulder.

Even people from the low-level areas chose to watch the live broadcast on their phones or on the large screens inside the Starship to see the live event in the Advanced area.

Huge holographic projection screens above the arena looped highlights from previous tournaments and promotional posters for the contestants, pushing the atmosphere to the extreme.

Lin Fei, Lin Mengzi, and Ishida Ryunosuke's Alliance Squad, a group of ten, arrived at the entrance passage specifically designated for competing teams.

Unlike ordinary arena fights, the Super Beast Fighting Tournament was contested by teams, with each team allowed a maximum of ten people.

As soon as they stepped into the passage, two mocking gazes were cast upon them.

"Yo, yo, yo, isn't this Captain Ryunosuke?"

"What, you bunch of trash solo players dare to participate in the Super Beast Fighting Tournament?"

"Aren't you afraid of being torn to pieces by those elite Zerg war beasts?"

The speaker was a young man with blond hair and blue eyes, a tall and thin build, and a frivolous smile always hanging on the corner of his mouth.

He was wearing a well-tailored silver nano-combat suit.

On his chest, he wore the badge of the Angela Conglomerate; he was Mordi, the captain of the Angela Conglomerate's competing team.

Beside him stood a man in black with a sinister face and eyes as cold as a viper.

He was Allen, the captain of the Blackwater Group.

Allen grinned, revealing a chilling smile: "Captain Mordi, you can't say that. What if they get lucky and manage to kill a few war beasts by chance?"

"However, instead of entrusting their lives to elusive luck, it would be better to be sensible and join under our command."

He scanned the people behind Ryunosuke as if sizing up a flock of lambs for slaughter: "I can make the decision, as long as you are willing to wear this."

He took a metal collar from his bosom that was flickering with a dangerous red light.

"Become our partners and fight for us, and we can consider paying that one million star coin ticket fee for you."

"How about it? Isn't it a great deal?"

That metal collar was the notorious "Control Ring." Once put on, one's life and death would be completely in the hands of others, no different from an explosive collar.

Therefore, they weren't looking for partners at all.

They were looking for slaves who could serve as cannon fodder for them at any time!

The players from the Angela Conglomerate and the Blackwater Group burst into laughter, their eyes filled with disdain and mockery as they looked at Ryunosuke's squad.

These players from major powers had the backing of conglomerates. As soon as they entered this trial world, they easily earned a million star coins by selling various rare items and equipment brought from other worlds through the black market.

They even had the spare capacity to purchase various items to enhance their strength. Compared to solo players like Ryunosuke, who had to grind through arena fights, the difference was like heaven and earth.

Ishida Ryunosuke's face turned livid, and Wang Hu and the others behind him were furious, almost exploding on the spot.

Lin Fei patted Ishida on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

Ishida Ryunosuke took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, and looked coldly at Mordi and Allen: "Different paths, no common ground."

"We shall see!"

"Hmph, a bunch of morons. If it weren't for the fact that fighting isn't allowed here, I would have blown your head off with one shot long ago," Mordi said, curling his lip in disdain.

"I hope your bones are as hard as your mouths," Allen said sinisterly.

Just as the two sides were at daggers drawn, a majestic piece of music suddenly rang out in the passage.

Immediately after, a loud and magnetic voice spread throughout the entire arena via loudspeakers.

"Distinguished guests, heroic gladiators! Welcome to the highly anticipated opening ceremony of the Super Beast Fighting Tournament!"

On the huge projection screen, the figure of an elderly man in a magnificent uniform, looking spirited and hale, appeared.

He was the captain of this Starship and the person with the highest authority on the ship.

Perhaps in this small city of over a hundred thousand people, calling him the City Lord would be more appropriate.

The captain smiled and said in a resonant voice: "Tonight, we gather here to witness the collision of courage and strength."

"Here, there is no place for the cowardice of the weak, only the glory of the strong!"

"The winners will win endless wealth and supreme glory!"

"The losers will also write the cruelty and tragedy of the arena with their blood."

"Now, I declare that this year's Super Beast Fighting Tournament has officially begun!"

Following the captain's passionate declaration, the entire arena erupted into thunderous cheers and applause, and the atmosphere reached its peak.

Mordi and Allen snorted, ignored Ryunosuke and the others, and led their respective teams, walking haughtily toward their own luxurious rest area.
