Chapter 4044 - 4063: Restricted Fighting Tournament
"That’s indeed true."
Yao Xuanji said with a smile, "If it’s the same realm, excluding the strength of the furnace’s energy, excluding the boost of technological components, and even without the special ability of fusion, the outcome of a fight isn’t certain."
"Perhaps in an all-out battle, one can completely crush the opponent, but under such circumstances, combat power might not match the opponent’s, which is entirely possible."
"In hand-to-hand combat of the same level, where each other’s physical qualities aren’t much different, a higher realm doesn’t guarantee victory, everyone has a chance."
"This could be considered lightweight fighting, after all, with their strength, if they went all out, not to mention the safety protective devices, at least the space would need a Boss, otherwise, there’s no way to show each other’s combat power."
Lin Chen got up and said with a laugh, "Go, let’s take a look, after all, being idle is just being idle."
Shang Wenyao and Nalan Wushuang both nodded, after all, there were no tasks temporarily on Planet 11, and everyone was playing with a vacation mindset, even Fang Du Zhou and his daughter were released by Lin Chen.
They had been staying in the Void Pearl before, although they occasionally came out to get some fresh air, since all around 472 is dangerous, they are just ordinary people and naturally can’t stay outside all the time.
With the core medical equipment device given by Ning Xiuzhu, after this period of treatment, Fang Du Zhou’s wife’s condition has greatly improved, although she still can’t get out of bed, she no longer looks frail as if about to die at any moment.
According to Fang Du Zhou’s estimate, it would take about one more year for his wife to get out of bed, although she can’t do any heavy work, she can at least eat and sleep on her own, without needing to be bedridden every day, and doesn’t require someone to take care of her all the time.
Fang Du Zhou ultimately decided to follow Lin Chen back to Planet 49. He is just an ordinary person, and this time he encountered exploitation by authorities. If Lin Chen hadn’t come in time, he would have been doomed.
Changing to a strange planet, there would also be various authorities, and if the same thing happened again, no one would come to save him.
Although Planet 49 is small and remote, whether it’s Ning Xiu or Lin Chen, they are influential figures he can talk to, and he can lead a stable life with his family.
What could be better than living a stable life together as a family of three and watching your child grow up little by little?
Lin Chen is supportive of Fang Du Zhou’s decision.
After all, taking care of Fang Du Zhou is just a minor effort. Since he promised Ning Xiuzhu, he has to do it, and do it well.
The four people finished dinner and came to the Business Center. According to the address, they found the place where the event was held.
In the middle of the huge hall, a large boxing ring was set up. This boxing ring is somewhat different from ordinary ones. On one hand, its size is at least as big as a basketball court, and on the other, its material looks incredibly hard, seemingly made of ultra-high-strength alloy, with an energy barrier surrounding the ring.
Although the furnace is forbidden, the physical strength of these warriors is still extremely powerful—a punch might not even be withstood by a mountain, and if protection measures are not in place, a few punches could destroy the entire Business Center.
Lin Chen and others bought tickets, went inside, and then found their seats and sat down.
The arrangement of this event center is similar to the boxing rings in Lin Chen’s memory: a central ring, surrounded by booths and scattered seats. Clearly, the booths are prepared for the wealthy and influential, while the scattered seats are naturally for regular guests.
"This boxing match actually has a betting plate?"
Yao Xuanji glanced at the codes on the table, looked at them on the popped-out website, and his expression turned surprised.
"They actually allow open gambling here, and it’s legal with a license?"
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Each place has its own rules. In my hometown, gambling is not allowed in most places, but in certain cities, casinos exist, and it’s legal."
"The fact that this venue can openly operate a betting plate indicates that its owner is probably not simple and definitely has a powerful background."
Yao Xuanji tapped on the light curtain, "There are quite a few contestants playing today, and you can place bets now, but there’s no information revealed in the data, and all the odds are the same. What’s the point of betting like this?"
Lin Chen leaned over to take a look and said with a smile, "The odds are pretty high. It’s precisely because at the beginning no one knows anyone, so this is pure gambling. For example, with ten contestants, your chance of picking correctly is only one in ten. This odds has one to five, so if you win, you win several times more, but your losing probability is nine-tenths."
Shang Wenyao chuckled, "Anyway, the Boss opening the betting plate surely won’t lose. It’s all calculated. When the competition starts, you can bet on each match. After this match, they can make a lot of bets and earn quite a lot of money."
Yao Xuanji pointed to the light curtain, "Placing bets is super convenient too. Just link to your account and directly transfer money, it’s just like ordering food. This is too convenient."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Do you want to give it a try?"
Yao Xuanji shook his head, "No point, this is totally a blind selection, can’t see any clues, the probability of less than one-tenth is basically like giving them money."
The other two women also shook their heads. Nalan Wushuang laughed, "Even if you bet, wait for the kickoff. After everyone has played a match, bet a little. Although the odds might not be high, it’s not as blind as now."
The four people sat in the slightly backward booth, whispering to each other.
It’s not that Lin Chen is reluctant to buy better seats, but the seats in the front are directly not for sale. Presumably, they’re already reserved by the local authorities.
Lin Chen and others sat behind the booth area, probably corresponding to the wealthy but socially low-status rich people. Further back are the scattered seats, and there is an energy wall separating the scattered seats and the booth area.
While Lin Chen and others were chatting, at a table in front, someone suddenly turned around and looked directly at Lin Chen’s table, their gaze sweeping over the faces of the three women before finally landing on Lin Chen’s face.
The look from the other party was quite blatant, without any concealment, and Lin Chen didn’t bother him. After all, he had experienced such scenes too many times.
Who could blame him when the women around him were all exceptionally beautiful, with perfect figures and unique temperaments?
A person walking alone on the street has an extremely high rate of turning heads, let alone three.
Even more eye-catching than three pretty women together is the fact there is a man beside them.
If envious and jealous looks were arrows, Lin Chen wouldn’t know how many times he’d have been shot to death every day.
The young man who turned back raised an eyebrow, "Hi, you people, where are you from?"
