Finally, half a month later, the airship landed in a city in the Dian Dora area of the Republic of Batocchia.
Long felt relieved, finally getting rid of the paralyzed boy...
However, after walking down the stairs of the airship, Long suddenly had an idea.
"Here...this is someone's contact number. I think he is more likely to become your big customer than me..."
Oboro handed a note to Illumi.
Illumi had no doubts and nodded: "Stronger than you?"
"We haven't seen each other for a long time, and I don't know him well... However, he should be more in line with your positioning as a 'target group' for beating up enemies... This guy likes to kill people and often causes trouble... It just so happens that you are experts in dealing with problems, so we hit it off immediately. "
Long didn't even say bye or goodbye. After he finished speaking, he ran away.
Just let Illumi find Hisoka...they have similar interests and can get along well.
This would also distract Illumi and prevent him from targeting him.
Illumi watched Hagi's retreating figure, lowered his head, took out his cell phone, and dialed the number on the paper.
After a few calls, the call was connected.
"Long?" A lazy yet expectant voice came from the other end of the line.
Hisoka.
He prepared this number specially for Long, and only Long knew it.
I haven't seen Xiao for two years, and Hisoka has been thinking about when Obo will find him.
"Sorry, this is the number that Oboro gave me... He said that you have some problems that may need to be dealt with, and I can help you... As for the price, since it's your first order, I can give you a certain discount." Illumi responded as if reading a script.
"..."
There was a brief silence.
"Who are you?"
Hisoka's tone turned a little colder.
Chapter 14 Sky Arena
Dian Dora is still some distance away from the Sky Arena.
The Sky Arena is located in the northeast, while the Kurukulu Mountain where the Zoldyck family is located is in the northwest Dendora area, which is exactly the opposite.
After leaving the station, Long took a bus to his destination.
There were no empty seats on the bus, it was full.
Moreover, most of the passengers looked like Lianjiazi at first glance...some were big and round, while others were as skinny as monkeys, but their eyes were sharp.
There are all kinds of people...but without exception, they are all after making money and fame.
These people come from all over the world, and being able to become famous in the Sky Arena is a good opportunity for them to turn things around and grow.
The Sky Arena is the fourth tallest building in the Hunter World. It is known as a holy place for fighters and a paradise for martial artists. It has over one billion viewers every year and more than four thousand challengers registered every day. In addition, there are countless bets of all sizes related to the Sky Arena, which have driven the gambling economy to a considerable extent.
Then there is the underground ring industry...
This has also made the Sky Arena a famous tourist attraction. Even when there are no competitions, people from all over the world visit the arena every day.
The rules of the Sky Arena, if I remember correctly, seem to be that winning a game on the first floor only gives you 152 JINI, which is equivalent to the price of a glass of juice. The higher you advance, the higher the prize money will be. The prize money needs to be accumulated... If you lose, it may be gone, and the Sky Arena officials can't just throw money away for nothing... At around the 50th floor, the prize money is about yuan, and after reaching the th floor, contestants will be given a personal room.
The prize money for levels above 150 is over 190 million, and for levels 200 it is million... Above levels , it is basically a fight for reputation, and there is no more prize money.
However, the room will be upgraded to a luxury suite, and you are allowed to carry weapons... You also have to sign an agreement, and the style will be more like a fight to the death, and your life will be in danger.
Two years later, when Killua was six years old, he came here for the first time. It took him two months to reach the 150th floor, and he finally stopped at the 200th floor, which took a total of two years.
During this period, you will inevitably experience elimination and failure, and have to start climbing the stairs again.
It can be seen that floors 150 to 200 are the most difficult.
Although there is no money to be made above the 200th floor, Long’s idea is very simple. He can use the bonus he has saved to bet on his own victory. In this way, he can make money from money... What he can earn will be an astronomical figure!
But... this method is time-limited. As he wins more and more games, the odds will definitely get smaller and smaller. In the end... there will be no suspense, and he will not make much profit.
“We can contact some of the larger local casinos… it would be best if we could be the banker ourselves…” The car started and drove away slowly. Long, who was sitting by the window, looked at the scenery outside and said to himself.
"Brother...are you here for tourism?"
Sitting next to Long was a muscular bald man with a thick golden beard and wearing a white training suit.
At first glance, it is obviously the style of a fighter.
The bald man grinned and looked very enthusiastic.
"Ah."
Long smiled and nodded.
Whether in terms of body shape or dress, Long is not as professional as the other party and is just an ordinary person.
"My name is Charles, and I'm a rising star who will soon become famous in the Sky Arena... Do you want me to sign an autograph for you? Maybe I can sell it for a good price in the future..." The big man showed his white teeth and smiled confidently.
"No thanks."
Long politely refused.
"Are you sure? I'm really good... You missed a great opportunity. When I become famous, you will regret it~"
"..."
A soft sigh was uttered.
The car would arrive at the destination very late, which meant that they would have to spend a long time in the car... Looking at the bald guy's appearance and fiery attitude, and how talkative he was, it seemed that if she didn't agree to him, he would probably keep nagging her.
"sorry to bother you."
Seeing that he even took out a notebook and pen from his backpack, he said something.
Rothschild.
The bald man's eyes lit up, and he wrote his name on the paper quickly. After tearing it off the notebook, he handed it to Long.
He also gave Long a thumbs up and said, "You have good taste!"
"..."
If you meet such a person, you can forget about peace.
On the way, Charles chattered non-stop. He knew the Sky Arena very well.
When he competed in the Sky Arena, he reached the 200th floor but was eliminated... According to Charles, he was too young back then. This time when he returned, he was well prepared and confident that he could reach the th floor.
It took him five years of hard training and visiting and learning techniques from many martial arts sects before he regained his confidence and decided to show his skills in the Sky Arena.
Long looked at the rookie in front of him, not laughing at his incessant appearance.
But give enough respect, respect for dreams!
The night deepened, and at night, they finally arrived at the city where the Sky Arena was located.
As soon as I got off the car, the bustling atmosphere of a big city hit me.
High-rise buildings, flashing neon lights... This place is more developed than Gramgarans. Whether it is the economy, the flow of people, or the degree of modernization, it is incomparable to the former.
"Char."
After getting off the car, Long called out to Baldy.
"I can take you to the Sky Arena..." Charles thought that Long was a newcomer and had no sense of direction, so he wanted to ask him for help.
"Did you bring any money?"
Unexpectedly, the next second, Long reached out his hand to him.
"what?"
Charles was stunned.
"Hurry up..." Long hooked his fingers, the meaning was very clear.
After the bald man understood what was going on, he took out his wallet and handed over a small stack of bills.
"Thanks."
Long took it calmly, waved his hand, and walked away leisurely.
Charles was left standing there in a daze, scratching his head, feeling a little dizzy...
He didn't know... that he was actually affected by thoughts.
Now that he had extra cash, Long planned to find a hotel to stay for one night and then go to the Sky Arena to register and start playing the game tomorrow.
Without the "help" of the kind-hearted man Charles, he would have to sleep on the street tonight. He is really short of money and has a hard time making ends meet.
It was worth it for him to listen to the bald man's nagging along the way.
Very torturous...
After a while, he found a hotel not far from the Sky Arena and settled down. He had a delicious meal and bought some clothes in a shopping mall... a pair of black leather shoes, black suit pants, a white shirt, and a tie.
Typical workplace attire...but he does look a lot more energetic, cool and mature.
He was a very casual person when it came to shopping...plus the salesgirl was very enthusiastic in selling them, and they seemed to be branded products, and he had enough money to spare, so he bought it.
Having lived two lives, his soul is more old-fashioned and he doesn't like styles that are too young.
As a man...you should always have a set of clothes that you can show off.
After coming out of the mall, Long, with his hands in his pockets and wearing sunglasses, looked up and saw the majestic building towering into the clouds and piercing the night sky. At first glance, it seemed as if the top of the tower was suspended in the bright moon... It was the Sky Arena!
This landmark is located in the center of a vast square.
Starting with the Sky Arena, this generation of area sells everything and has a strong business atmosphere.
Compared with tourists and citizens, the main streets are more crowded with... various fighters. Although some of them are in plain clothes, one can tell at a glance that they have a strong aura.
Some of the young girls and women passing by were secretly looking at Long, while others... were staring at him nakedly, which shows that... this dress is really nice.
"From a distance it looked like a glowing pillar, but when I got closer I didn't expect the building to be so big..."
