Arriving at the gates of the arena once again, Su Chen’s heart was filled with excitement.

He wondered what tolls he would collect today.

Even though the arena would only open in a few hours, he could not help but fantasize in his mind.

There had only been a few duels yesterday, but he had already gained more than 20 blood-qi points, a lot of money, and even a few talents.

This has thus upgraded Su Chen to a C-grade martial artist.

Therefore, he was particularly looking forward to what was going to happen in the arena today.

It wasn’t just because he could strengthen himself by collecting tolls.

More importantly, in the process of getting stronger, if he encountered dangers, he would be more confident.

On his way to the arena, Su Chen carefully thought about what he should do next.

His main goal was to kill the weeping corpse bird and complete the first Fate mission.

His second goal was to make use of Monopoly’s ability in collecting tolls to participate in the bets and earn money from them for his next property.

Although he had two goals, Su Chen planned to complete them at the same time.

While earning money, he wanted to kill the weeping corpse bird at the same time and stop the first beast tide from coming.

To complete these two tasks as soon as possible, he only needed to participate in the duels as a martial artist.

“However, I have to find a way to push the order of my duel back. When I have collected more toll, killing the weeping corpse bird will be easier,” Su Chen mumbled as he reached the backstage, the venue for the duel registration.

“Hello, I’m here to register for the duel. I wish to challenge the weeping corpse bird,” Su Chen did not waste any time and told the staff his request frankly.

However, the staff member frowned in surprise. His small eyes sized up Su Chen. After a while, he shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, young man. The registration was closed yesterday. If you want to register today, you’ll have to queue and wait for your turn which will probably be next Saturday. ”

The registration had already closed?

Su Chen subconsciously widened his eyes and looked at the staff member in surprise.

“Does this count as me falling before even starting? Or perhaps… On the way to establishing my career, the path to it has just collapsed?” He thought that he had thought of everything and set up a perfect plan.

However, when it was implemented, he realized that this so-called perfect plan was already stuck at the first step!

“Then… Has anyone withdrawn from the competition, or can you arrange for an extra duel to be held in the middle?” Su Chen was not willing to admit defeat. If he could not kill the weeping corpse bird in the arena, he could only sneak in and find an opportunity to do so.

However, if that was the case, the commotion made when fighting the weeping corpse bird then would definitely attract the attention of the arena staff.

At that time, Su Chen would not only be facing the weeping corpse bird, but the entire arena would treat him as an intruder.

Therefore, when he heard the staff say that the registration was closed, his heart could not help but skip a beat.

“Is there any way …”

“No.”

The two, one sitting and one standing, stared at each other, both at a loss for words.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind. Su Chen turned his head to see a tall blonde man walking over with two underlings.

“Hey, the weeping corpse bird is too trashy to be the opponent for the last duel. Hurry up and contact your people to change to a more powerful beast as the final duel opponent!” The blonde man’s underling shouted at the staff.

As they walked over, they glanced at Su Chen.

There was a hint of disdain in their eyes.

This brat who didn’t even look like an adult probably didn’t have the money to buy a ticket and sneaked in, right?

The staff member looked at the blonde man, his expression full of respect. He chuckled and said, “Ah, it’s the respected B-grade martial artist, Mr. Zhang Tong, right? I’m sorry, but the opponent for the final duel is already… No, wait, I’ll contact the other staff now and change it immediately! The higher-ups have said that there’s a problem with the candidate for the second last match. I’ll arrange the beast for Mr. Zhang Tong now…”

Su Chen was listening quietly at the side and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The match with the weeping corpse bird was canceled?

Didn’t that mean that there would be one less person in one of the duels?

The heavens were helping him!

Su Chen was secretly happy, but he despised the actions of the two parties before him.

They had only exchanged a few sentences, and the matter of changing opponents had been settled just like that?

He had asked the staff so many times just now, but the staff had simply said that the schedule had been arranged and refused to change it no matter what.

The fellow next to the blonde man had only said one sentence and the staff had already convinced himself?

Although he was ridiculing these people in his heart, he was still calm on the surface.

He wasn’t stupid enough to show all these emotions on his face. After all, this blonde guy didn’t look like someone to be trifled with.

“If he can go to the arena, I can forgive his violation of the rules in advance though,” Su Chen mumbled to himself.

After the blonde man and his underlings turned around and left, he immediately started talking to the staff, “Just now, you said that the match against the weeping corpse bird has been canceled, right? Does that mean that there’s an empty round? can I take over that spot?”

Upon hearing this, the staff member with small eyes looked at Su Chen as if he had heard the funniest joke.

He bobbed his head as he sized up Su Chen from head to toe while laughing, “Young man, did you drink your father’s wine and become muddle-headed? Is this a place for you to play?”

The small-eyed staff member thought that the young man before him was just a guy who was bored.

However, when he heard that the other party wanted to challenge the weeping corpse bird, he completely understood. This brat must be an idiot!

The weeping corpse bird was an A-grade fierce beast!

With such thin arms and legs, did the brat want to send himself to his death by challenging the weeping corpse bird?

“Oh? There’s still someone who accepted the duel with the weeping corpse bird?” Even the blonde man and his two underlings, who had not gone far, turned around curiously.

However, when they saw that the person who requested to fight the weeping corpse bird was not a burly man with a fierce aura, but a child who looked like he had not experienced much of the world, the three of them couldn’t control their laughter.

“This kid… Hahaha… I’m afraid that the milk powder you drank this morning was mixed with wine, huh?”

The unscrupulous laughter entered Su Chen’s ears. He turned his head and looked at those three. Their faces were full of contempt and ridicule.

It was as if they believed that a sow was proficient in rock climbing skills rather than Su Chen could win over the weeping corpse bird.

Fortunately, Su Chen remembered his task today. He only silently remembered the mockery. When the time was right, he would naturally have the opportunity to take revenge.

“Is 50000 enough?” Su Chen suddenly took out 50000 Yuan from his pocket and slammed it on the table.

The 50000 was obtained through tolls.

Although it wasn’t a lot, no one would dislike a “pie” with delicious falling, especially when this “pie” had fallen from the sky.

“Oh my, oh my…” The small-eyed staff member put the 50000 Yuan into his pocket, “Doesn’t there just happen to be a vacancy? if you think you can win, sure! Since you’re determined to die, then pay the registration fee, sign your name here, and wait to go on the arena last.”
