Chapter 28: Rich Rewards

The assembly point was on the top floor, and when the elevator opened, Alan and Hughton walked out. In the training hall, the youths from the various districts on the surface had gathered at the central venue, and their mentors were giving these youths some final advice.

"Baby Alan!" Seeing them from afar, Tonislaw cried out. On this day, it was rare for the captain to change into a military uniform. It was just that this outfit looked awkward. After looking at it for a long time, Allen suddenly realized that it was a woman's military uniform!

Before Alan could react, he was already hugged by Tonislaw. The second lieutenant rubbed himself against Allen's face and said, "This important day is finally here. Toto is reluctant to part with you. But I'm sure my baby will win."

Although he was grateful for Tonislaw's trust, this fellow was too enthusiastic. Alan couldn't help but want to use a knife to cut this fellow, but Hughton couldn't bear to watch anymore and pulled Tonislaw away. Then he pushed Ellen and said, "Go."

Alan nodded and walked to the middle of the hall, standing with Lucy. Lucy smiled and said, "Come on!"

"You too." Alan lowered his voice again, "Remember our contact code."

"Yes."

After a short conversation, the ground began to shake. Someone shouted, "Up above." Alan looked up. The dome was cracking open. A few symmetrical cracks caused the dome on the top floor of the building to rise and extend like a blooming lotus flower. The dome allowed the incomparably brilliant sunlight to directly project into the building, illuminating the youths so that no one could see anything.

Allen's eyes barely opened, and he could vaguely see a crescent-shaped shadow from small to large, and then his ears were filled with the roar of the aircraft's engines. When he completely opened his eyes, he discovered that a mana flying ship had arrived above the building and was descending.

This was the Inner Planet Flying Ship, the Death Arena's special Guided Flying Ship, Destiny. Destiny looked like a crescent moon with three sets of engine injectors inside. There were energy conduction patterns on the smooth surface of the ship, and at the bottom of the outer cabin, there was a row of ejection cabin launchers. They would eject the participating teenagers alone and reach the designated target.

As a pilot ship, the Fate Crew was not known for their firepower. However, if anyone wanted to disrupt the progress of the tournament or even pay attention to the Fate Clan members. Then the four high-energy cannons on each side of the ship and the ion cannon hidden in the bottom of the ship would make any provocateur regret their actions.

After Destiny descended to a certain distance, a circular lift deck descended from the bottom of the hull. The deck was connected to the hull by six tractor beams. When the deck landed on the ground of the central venue, 22 boys and girls jumped onto the deck. The deck rose and finally joined the hull. As for Alan and the others, they had already reached the interior of Destiny.

The youths were in a spacious cabin, surrounded by a group of guards. At this time, the automatic door of the main ship room opened and a chubby man walked in. This person was almost on par with Lu Sen, and his fat body caused the buttons on his chest suit to burst. The man cleared his throat and revealed an electronic host-like smile. "Hello everyone, I'm Alstair." I am your guide and will lead you to the venue of the death arena, Yellowstone Park on the south side of Babylon. "Of course, because of the size of the floating island, our Yellowstone Park cannot be compared to the historic national park in the United States."

Alstair gave a brief introduction. Yellowstone Park, which was located on the floating island, was only 800 square kilometers, but it was also a fairly vast area. On the floating island, there are many typical examples of pre-dawn surface countries. The Statue of Liberty Harbor is one, and Yellowstone Park is another.

The arena for the Death Arena competition was also shaped into a mountain forest.

There are also mountains, lakes, canyons and rivers in the park. The geography is complex and there are dangerous species ranging from level 1 to 5. Participants in the game had to not only fight against other teenagers, but also be on guard against dangerous species that would suddenly jump out of some bush or cave. This undoubtedly increased the pressure on the teenagers to survive, and was also one of the highlights of previous competitions.

"Here are a few things to note. First, don't try to escape. We will monitor the entire competition from all angles. Once you try to leave the competition area, congratulations. You don't have to die. But for the rest of your life, you will feel more uncomfortable living than dying." '"Second point, the time limit for the game is 15 days. If there are no winners before the time limit, then the organizers will lead the rest to a bloody battle. So you'd better kill all your opponents before the time is up " Alstair continued with a smile.

Alstair recounted the last two points, namely, that there was only one winner and that surrender was not acceptable. After saying that, he pointed at the youth and smiled, "Congratulations, you lucky fellows. This year, the rewards for the victors are very rich. In addition to the right of abode in the floating island, the rewards for the rewards for the rewards for the rewards for the rewards for the rewards for the rewards for the rewards for the rewards for the rewards for the weapons, there are also the following rewards."

The first was the upgrade of the weapon reward. In the past, the victors only received one magical weapon that matched their own level, but this time, they had upgraded to a complete set of Origin Energy equipment. This meant that the winner had at least one set of magic energy armor and weapons. Not to mention the magic energy weapon, it was the entire set of magic energy armor. Its value was far above the ordinary defensive light armor that Allen wore.

The second was the addition of a potion reward. This was also a prize that had not been awarded in previous sessions. The reward was a choice between a full body healing potion that could repair most of the normal injuries and a high-grade body strengthening potion. The latter was similar to the physical strengthening and even evolution that would result from leaping through the Advancement Node!

The last, more ordinary, was the addition of the winner's prize money, from 50,000 federal dollars to 200,000 yuan.

After hearing these rewards, the youths' gazes became scorching hot. Alan was no exception. He knew exactly what these rewards could do to him. At the very least, he could destroy the predators that invaded the small town back then, plus a "Black Widow" hunting squad.

"Alright, there's still some time until we reach our destination. You guys can move freely." Alstair left these words and left the cabin first.

The youths found a place to sit in twos and threes, and at this moment they could see that they had formed small groups. Alan and Lucy sat together. Emily was the only one sitting next to Lucy since Mike last time. The other boys sat far away.

Alan whispered, "Remember, we are separated when we reach the ground. So the first thing we should do is gather. Since we don't know where each other is, we'll have to walk in the same direction and leave a communication code along the way for identification."

Just as the three of them were discussing the direction of the gathering, a shadow suddenly fell in front of Allen's eyes. Raising his head, he saw Lu Sen's fat face. The fat man lowered his head and said, "Alan, you'd better not let me meet you. Otherwise, I'll definitely stuff your head into my butt this time!"

"Don't worry, before that, I will cut off your butt." Alan replied forcefully.

The two of them stared at each other, their scorching gazes crisscrossing each other, almost causing sparks to appear in the air. Lu Sen finally snorted and turned around to leave. Allen looked around and received a lot of hostile gazes.

At the same time as the Fate Men flew to Yellowstone Park, two steamboats flew from the east-west direction of the island, each with a large screen on each side. The programme prepared by the Commission would broadcast the entire process of the Death Arena live to the inhabitants of Babylon. At the end of the game, there are only two hosts, one male and one female, doing talk shows.

Horn was in his own study, full of European-style study, the classic luxurious Rococo style decoration made the study appear magnificent. However, due to Master's heavy heart, even though the two rows of dome-shaped crystal lamps illuminated the study hall, the atmosphere in the room was still a little depressed.

Sitting on a dark black leather armchair, Horn inadvertently rotated the silk agate ring on his thumb, which symbolized the symbol of the Patriarch of the clan. His eyes stared at the screen projected on the wall. On the screen, the two hosts introduced the 22 teenagers from the surface to the audience in a funny tone. At this time, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in." Horn said indifferently.

Housekeeper Helsing held a wine tray with a bottle of brandy and a goblet. He elegantly placed the plate on the table in front of Horn. Helsing poured a third of the amber liquor into the goblet, placed his hands behind his back, and took three steps back to stand beside Horn.

"It's about to start, Helsing." Horn said as he raised his glass and took a sip.

"Is Master worried about him?"

"Alan? A little, but this is a test for him. If he can't even survive the death arena, what qualifications does he have for me to nurture him as the successor?" Horn said indifferently.

Helsing pretended not to hear. The battles between aristocratic families were even more brutal and heartless. Helsing was only a butler, and he did not want to fall into such a vortex.

Protecting oneself is what a butler should do. It didn't matter who was the leader of this clan to Helsing.

At least, for now.

Finally, the scene of Destiny appeared in the screen. Yellowstone Park had arrived!

At this moment, inside the airship. "Yellowstone Park is here, children. Now, someone will take you to the exclusive single-man ejection silos. They will take you to the designated coordinates. Good luck, then." Altese's voice sounded from the communicator above the cabin.

The cabin door opened and a group of soldiers entered. They began to call out names, and the youth named would be taken away by a soldier. When he pointed at Lucy, Alan quietly held her hand and said, "See you on the ground."

"Of course." Lucy smiled brightly.
