80: Good things come to your door
Bet one to win four, bet one to win three...
After Lu Yuan defeated his fifth opponent, the odds dropped to bet one to win zero point two!
Taking the silver pendant from the female host, Lu Yuan decisively chose the dragon blood crystal.
"Aren't you going to listen to the other two rewards?"
The female host looked somewhat surprised.
"The first reward is for me to spend the night with you, and the second reward is a Law Realm Five-star magic core," the female host said.
The third reward is the dragon blood crystal; Divine Power Realm Silver-tier contestants get five pieces.
"You?" Lu Yuan looked the female host up and down.
It wasn't that she wasn't pretty, but compared to the women he knew, she fell far short.
Jiang Tianxia, Li Jinxue, and even the members of Older Sister's team.
All of them had perfect figures and temperaments. Lu Yuan would rather choose the Law Realm Five-star magic core than choose to spend the night with the female host.
That wouldn't be a reward for himself; it would be a reward for her!
With the five dragon blood crystals in hand, Lu Yuan looked over at the slouching Han Junchen.
"Oh baby~"
"You are mine, whose am I~"
Walking down the street, Han Junchen was still acting crazy, humming a little tune leisurely.
Suddenly, someone placed a hand on his shoulder.
Han Junchen's pupils constricted.
"Jiang Hao, just because I'm more handsome than you, you can't try to kill me!" Han Junchen said seriously.
Lu Yuan: "..."
"Take a closer look." Lu Yuan briefly revealed his true appearance.
Han Junchen's expression turned grave as he lowered his voice.
"Are you crazy? Do you know that the City of Chaos is hunting you down?"
He was acting stupid, not actually stupid.
Lu Yuan's situation was very dangerous right now; once his identity was exposed in the City of Chaos, he would be hacked to death!
"Come with me." Lu Yuan didn't waste any words.
Hotel room.
Looking at Jiang Tianxia lying on the bed and Chu Wushe standing by the window with his arms crossed, Han Junchen's expression was colorful.
"You're all here!" Han Junchen was dumbfounded.
"What are you doing in the City of Chaos?" Lu Yuan asked.
"It's a long story, but I'll make a long story short. It was a sunny day, and I..." Han Junchen shook his head.
"Can you stop talking nonsense?" Jiang Tianxia was speechless; Han Junchen had been talking for ages without getting to the point.
"The bracelet guided me here." Han Junchen hesitated for a moment, ultimately deciding to reveal his secret.
A bracelet? Lu Yuan looked at the bracelet carved with four lifelike ferocious beasts, then touched the top-grade spirit artifact, Silence, that he was wearing.
Coincidentally, Silence was also carved with four ferocious beasts baring their fangs and brandishing their claws!
Compared to Han Junchen's bracelet, the four beasts carved on Silence looked fiercer, as if they wanted to devour people.
Han Junchen's was more peaceful and looked gentler.
"Anyway, there must be good things here, so I came to try my luck." Han Junchen said with certainty.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been bored enough to spend ten Divine Power Realm demon crystals to enter the City of Chaos, and he certainly wanted to earn his capital back, which was why he registered to become a Slaughter Arena contestant.
"It's not bad; the appearance fee is one Divine Power Realm demon crystal per match." Han Junchen sat on the edge of the bed with his legs crossed.
He quite liked it here; the audience loved his act of playing the fool, and he enjoyed it himself.
"The appearance fee for a Silver-tier contestant is that high?" Jiang Tianxia was stunned.
Why! She was also a Silver-tier contestant, and her appearance fee was only one Xuan Gang Realm demon crystal per match.
"Maybe this is just talent." Han Junchen said smugly.
"Although Han Junchen is a Xuan Gang Realm Practitioner, the audience watching him is packed, which means there are many people placing bets, bringing significant revenue to the Slaughter Arena," Lu Yuan analyzed.
In other words, to the Slaughter Arena, Han Junchen was a god of wealth, a cash cow!
Night fell, and the four of them went out to eat.
"Hasn't Lu Yuan been killed yet?" This was a braised chicken rice shop with average business, and the owner was chatting with customers.
"Don't mention it. It's as if Lu Yuan disappeared in the No Mans Land; many Law Realm Practitioners hunting him have returned empty-handed!"
"Didn't Lu Yuan just break through to the Divine Power Realm? Is he that hard to kill?"
"Of course he's hard to kill. Have you ever seen a Practitioner who broke through to the Divine Power Realm in their first year of awakening? Even the Supreme Alliance Leader Li Qingcang wasn't as powerful as Lu Yuan back then!"
"I think neither the Supreme Alliance Leader nor Lu Yuan are as good as Jiang Hao," Han Junchen interrupted.
"Who is Jiang Hao?"
"Eat your braised chicken." Lu Yuan said.
"Since the bracelet confirmed there are good things in the City of Chaos, do you know the specific location?" After eating his fill, Lu Yuan looked at Han Junchen.
Since Silence was a top-grade spirit artifact, the quality of the bracelet Han Junchen was wearing definitely wouldn't be too bad.
It was very likely also a top-grade spirit artifact!
This explained everything; Han Junchen's deliberate ranking at 101 in the Martial Examination, and his act of playing the fool, were definitely related to the bracelet!
It was just unclear what the specific effects of the bracelet were, and whether it could store Spirit Skills and block three attacks like Silence.
"I know, but we have to wait a few days." Han Junchen said seriously.
"It seems there is a heaven and earth spirit treasure here about to bloom and bear fruit, and the location is there." Han Junchen pointed into the distance.
It was none other than the place where the City Lord lived!
"The City Lord?" Lu Yuan's eyes flickered.
The City Lord of the City of Chaos was elusive, and most importantly, only he knew how to create dragon blood crystals!
Bang! Bang! Bang——
The ground shook violently, and a nauseating smell of alcohol permeated the air.
"I haven't had too much to drink!"
"Find ten girls to accompany me tonight!"
The person speaking belched, then swaggered into a club called 'Lingering'.
Earth Attribute, Five-star Transcendent Realm!
Lu Yuan thought of Wen Yurou, who had died at his hands that morning.
She was a subordinate of Qiu Jinsong, the leader of the Drunken Gang, so the identity of this person in front of him was easy to guess.
Looking at the Middle-Aged Man who was reeking of alcohol, estimated to weigh five hundred pounds, and sporting a big belly, a smile curled on Lu Yuan's lips.
"And he's still going to a club like this, little silkworm pupa." Han Junchen curled his lip.
Chu Wushe's expression was on the verge of cracking.
"What does 'little silkworm pupa' mean?" Jiang Tianxia indicated she didn't understand.
But she was sure that Lu Yuan and Chu Wushe understood, otherwise they wouldn't have laughed.
"Qiu Jinsong once founded a company specializing in hunting ferocious beasts, and at his peak, his net worth exceeded one billion," Chu Wushe changed the subject.
"This person is addicted to alcohol. Once, after getting drunk, he ran to a local elementary school and went on a killing spree, then fled to the No Mans Land after being seriously injured."
Chu Wushe recounted the information he had gathered on Qiu Jinsong in detail.
"The Drunken Gang is ranked second in power in the City of Chaos, and its members are either gluttonous or lecherous; the first is the Slaughter Arena boss."
Bang! Bang! Bang——
As soon as Chu Wushe finished speaking, the violent shaking of the club next door stopped.
"Thirty seconds." Han Junchen said.
"No, what are you all laughing at again?" Jiang Tianxia was speechless.
Rustle, rustle, rustle——
Rapid footsteps approached.
A man with the word 'Slaughter' printed on his chest and a scorpion tattooed on his face walked into the shop.
The man stopped in front of Lu Yuan.
"Mr. Jiang Hao, Mr. Chu Wudi, and Mr. Han Junchen, our boss would like to have a chat with the three of you," the man said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"The Slaughter Arena boss?" Lu Yuan asked.
"That's right!"
"Chat about what?" Chu Wushe stood up.
"I don't know the specifics, but it's definitely a good thing, especially for Mr. Jiang Hao and Mr. Chu Wudi; it's a good thing not to be missed!"
