Chapter 172: Puzzle 7
Lin You got up early the next morning. Because I was thinking about things in my heart, I couldn't sleep well no matter what. But early in the morning, when Lin You took off the coat on her body, just as Lin You was about to reach for the clothes she had put on the bedside last night, she was stunned to find that the clothes she bought from the tavern owner yesterday were completely gone. gone.
The long dark blue dress and the headbands inlaid with broken diamonds all disappeared.
Suddenly, Lin You suddenly remembered what the tavern owner said last night, that the people in the city of bliss only wear clothes for one day. I thought that the people in the City of Bliss behaved luxuriously and would not need clothes after only one day of wearing them, but I didn't expect that wearing them for only one day meant that the clothes could only last for one day.
This is really confusing. Because there were not enough gold coins in her hand, and about half of the food in the space grid was consumed, Lin You had to start saving money. She didn't save any gold and silver in the space grid. The players I saw last night caught the attention of the Herman family, not because their clothes were different from ordinary people? Lin You didn't want to cause trouble, so clothes and jewelry were a necessary expense.
First put on the leather armor that was taken off before. Fortunately, Lin You did not throw this thing away yesterday, but put it into the space grid, otherwise it would be a very embarrassing situation. The clothes prepared in reality do not fit in with the background of this world, so it is impossible to put on the body at all.
The nervousness of money forced Lin You to temporarily think of a way to make money. This time, Lin You saw the poster on the table in the shabby house.
The arena?
Lin You frowned, and finally decided to go check the situation first. Otherwise, do you really go to that tavern to be a wine **** girl?
He did what he said, but after going out for a while, Lin You went back to his small broken house to rest for a while. Quite simply, because it was so early, there was no one on the street. Lin You knew that all the people in this city of bliss were night owls.
It is like an empty city during the day, but it is full of flowers at night.
It was almost in the afternoon, when Lin You and the others entered the city yesterday, Lin You just went out. There are already a few sleepy people on the street, and a few shops are also open. But most of these stores are some clothing, or accessories stores and the like. After all, everyone in the city at night has to dress up beautifully to go out, right?
Since it was still early for the people in the City of Bliss, Lin You was pleasantly surprised to find that this clothing store and accessories store were actually selling the clothes and jewelry that were not sold last night at a discount. The cash-strapped Lin You naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. She quickly took advantage of the lack of people and grabbed a goose-yellow lace dress and matching shoes and hats.
As a result, she only had 7 gold coins left in her hand. When Lin You bought a ticket to the arena and entered the arena, he only had two gold coins in his hand. This is also the reason why Lin You hardly spent any money on food and drink during this time.
Lin You frowned secretly. She hoped that she could find clues here and make some money by the way. There were very few people in the arena in the afternoon, but there were more people than the street. After watching a few fights between gladiators, Lin You decided to apply for the job.
Because the strength of these gladiators is really average, it may also be because it is the afternoon, not when the atmosphere of the arena is the most enthusiastic, so the strong players did not end. It's not that Lin You never thought of making money by pressing the winners and losers of the gladiators, but at least that kind of betting plate costs five gold coins, and the gold coins in Lin You's hand are not enough to pass the table superior.
Now that there are few people, Lin You quickly found the person in charge of the arena and expressed his intention. The person in charge of the arena was still yawning. He was very surprised at first, why would such a delicate young lady like Lin You want to see him. I thought it was a romantic affair, but I didn't expect this little beauty to end up.
He frowned, as the person in charge of the arena is not soft-hearted. If it wasn't for Lin You's beautiful little face, he wouldn't be in the mood to listen to a woman go crazy and commit suicide here. Yes, Lin You said that he was going to end. In his eyes, he was asking for his own death.
But after seeing that his repeated dissuasion had no effect, he became impatient. He waved his hand and agreed to Lin You's application. Anyway, people die every day in the arena due to serious injuries. As long as they don't rely on the arena, Lin You died like this, and he is just a pity for the skin. This little beauty looks good, but I didn't expect her brain to be sick. Anyway, he can't eat this person, so he doesn't need to continue to persuade him.
Lin You first looked at her treatment. Each game was worth 10 gold coins. As the number of victories gradually increased, the gold coins she played in each game would naturally increase. Currently, the most valuable person in this arena is a man named Bart. Man, he was worth 5,000 gold coins for one appearance. Lin You was quite satisfied with the reward. Soon she simply signed the life and death certificate, indicating that life and death were determined by the end of the game, and she would never rely on the arena.
The gladiatorial arena will provide clothing for gladiators, so after Lin You signed the life and death certificate, saying that he was going to leave the field, the person in charge left, and a waiter took Lin You down to change clothes. Even if Lin You wore the smallest size, the gladiator's clothes were a little bigger, so he had no choice but to tie it around his waist with a twine to prevent the clothes from slipping.
The clothes showed white arms and calves, and Lin You's figure made people know at a glance that this was a girl. Although Lin You knew that his fate would never be hidden from the eyes of the players, in order not to attract the attention of the local NPC and be "killed", Lin You still found a face towel and covered his face.
The waiter actually thought Lin You was strange, but there was nothing he could do. Since a gladiator like Lin You was a civilian and had a higher status than a slave like him, not to mention that there were no gladiators who wanted to conceal their identity in the past, so he didn't say anything.
In Lin You's eyes, the competition between low-level gladiators was actually quite a joke. They seemed to be rampaging in the arena relying on their muscles and strength. As long as Lin You moved nimbly, they could make them sweaty. While these people were not paying attention, Lin You, with her cleverness, threw these big men to the ground and couldn't move. At first, Lin You's appearance caused boos in the audience. After Lin You's five-game winning streak, those NPCs in the audience looked at Lin You differently.
In the arena, the stronger is king.
They were still looking forward to Lin You's next performance, and then they found out that the next gladiator was replaced. Immediately, the audience was dissatisfied, and they still wanted to see the strange reversal. All in all, this group of people was addicted to being slapped in the face by Lin You.
But Lin You didn't care about them. The 50 gold coins she earned today were enough for her two or three days' expenses. What's more, she also felt mentally exhausted after being off five times in a row. Being watched by so many people is really not what Lin You likes.
Not only the people in the audience, but also the person in charge of the arena was surprised. The way he looked at Lin You was different now. If I used to look at Lin You with the mentality of admiring beautiful women, now I look at Lin You with the mentality of looking at the golden baby.
A slender, exotic beauty competes with the big guys, and even the beauties beat the big guys. What a gimmicky thing this is. As long as you let out the wind, are you afraid that the nobles in the city will not be crazy about such a beauty who coexists with strength and beauty? Of course, it's not the right time to promote Lin You like this. After all, although Lin You won five games in a row, which caused a huge chain effect, but now is the time when the Gladiator's business is deserted, no matter how strong Lin You's waves are, the effect is still limited, right?
After waiting for a while, Lin You's strength was confirmed. Even if Lin You's strength is a little weaker, it doesn't matter. I'll run it for her again... won't the money come rolling in then? But what to do now is to keep this golden doll.
Lin You also plans to cooperate with the arena, and she doesn't know how long she will stay here. It's not bad to have such a good place to get money quickly, and now her appearance fee has risen to 50 gold coins per game. What's more, the person in charge actually agreed to her request not to reveal her identity. Lin You was naturally more satisfied.
How does Lin You know that it is not worthwhile to expose Lin You's identity now because the management of the arena knows that it is not cost-effective to expose it now. Wouldn't it be better to expose Lin You when the price of Lin You rises?
Therefore, the two parties had their own thoughts, and Lin You once again put on her long goose-yellow dress and returned to the auditorium. In fact, all you need to pay for a ticket is to spend the whole day in the arena if you want.
The only problem is that food and water in the arena can be a lot more expensive than outside. After a meal in the arena, the arena earns more than the five gold coins, so most people who enter the arena in the afternoon will choose to leave the arena at night.
And Lin You already had food, plus the person in charge of the arena saw Lin You's potential value, and with a big wave, he actually packed Lin You's dinner.
Lin You rarely eats in dungeons, but this dungeon is different. Too long to survive here. The food that grows into Lin You's space won't last long. Lin You has considered eating the food in the dungeon before.
When dinner came, Lin You thanked the waiter who had been in charge of her. Then I poured him a glass of wine... Yes, Lin You's behavior is equivalent to testing poison. In fact, most of the food in the dungeons is edible. It's unfortunate like Lin You, the food in two consecutive dungeons is edible. The problem is completely in the minority.
The waiter was a little embarrassed, but after Lin You's repeated invitations, he still drank this glass of wine. Lin You found that the waiter's expression was very calm. And after drinking, Lin You chatted with him for a while, and the waiter had no other special reaction.
Food should be nothing.
Why draw this conclusion? Because the food is steak and bread and the like, the easiest medicine is the drink. Since the drink is fine, then the rest should be fine.
The food in the arena was still very delicious, and Lin You calmly enjoyed this delicious meal. And the night that belongs to the arena also kicked off. After Lin You finished dinner, she was surprised to find that 70% of the auditorium in the arena was full. And in the position with the best view, there are several acquaintances of his own.
Those were some players, including the priestess and Chang Bainian whom Lin You met yesterday, and Du Zifang and others whom Lin You hadn't seen since he was assigned to the slum, even near the seats with the best view. Lin You also saw Ren Liansong.
Almost all the players who have entered the city are here, and these people have mixed very well.
This is very strange. If it is not surprising that the old players have the strength and means to mix so well, what about the new players? Yes, those new players all chose to enter the city of bliss. Anyway, their tasks are the same whether they stay in the city or outside the city. So compared to outside the city, wouldn't it be more comfortable to stay in the city with better living conditions. Therefore, all the newcomers chose to go to the city. And they are now, taking the jeweled female priest who is now dressed as an example, she is living and enjoying life, and the corners of her mouth can't close.
Lin You recalled the "killing" script that she speculated last night. Those corpses on the way into the city all had smiles on their mouths. If that's the case, then...
"Hahaha, I won the bet, the bet... **** ho ho" Suddenly, an NPC male stood up in the audience, he laughed frantically, holding a piece of paper in his hand, it should be a gladiatorial fight Tickets for winning or losing bets. Seemingly because he was overwhelmed, he looked very excited, then smiled, and suddenly turned his back.
With a ho-ho sound in his throat, he finally fell down. The surrounding NPCs seemed very calm, and they seemed to be used to this matter. When the people in the arena carried the man's body mixed with the gold coins that the man had just won, the crowd returned to a beaming appearance.
And Lin You also heard a woman sitting in front of her covering her mouth and nose with a white feather fan, and said in disgust:
"I really don't know where the inferior person came from, but it's really disappointing."
After she said that, the man next to her smiled and comforted:
"Why don't you have any interest for such a person? In the city of bliss, this person can be considered dead. If one day I can die in extreme happiness, it will be a very happy thing."
Later, Lin You didn't listen to what the couple said, and she kept thinking about what the man said just now in her mind.
To die in bliss?
