It was dusk in Darkness Port.
It was the Ring Road near the sea.
There was the refreshing sea breeze and the intoxicating setting sun.
There were all kinds of interesting shops and hawkers selling snacks on carts.
There were lovers strolling hand in hand and old people enjoying the sea breeze.
Everything was peaceful and peaceful.
At the end of the Ring Road was the entrance to the cabin area.
Tang Ling was on a tight schedule, so he shamelessly borrowed 20 Black Wind coins from Ding Ling and promised to pay her back 21 Black Wind coins. Only then did he have enough money for the ride.
The deck area was huge after all. If they had to walk on their own, Tang Ling's one hour would be spent on walking.
However, Higan seemed to be curious about everything. She looked around along the way and was curious about the unique features of Darkness Port. It was similar to the public transport of the old civilization but it was painted in the color of the sea.
After she alighted from the car, she walked and stopped along the way, looking at everything.
Tang Ling was in a hurry, but somehow, when he saw how curious she was, he did not have the heart to rush her, so all he could do was accompany Higan.
"Tang Ling, that cotton candy is interesting. Let's have one?"
Tang Ling asked for the price. A cotton candy cost 10 Black Wind coins, but he could not bear it! He did not have the money!
"Tang Ling, that squid foot looks delicious."
"It's not delicious at all. I'll go catch squid in the sea next time. I'm good at it."
"You can catch squid in the sea? That's amazing!" Higan's attention was successfully diverted.
"Tang Ling, what do you think about the fried fish?"
"I'll go catch fish in the sea next time!" Tang Ling almost carried Higan and sprinted to the cabin area.
"Tang Ling, it's not expensive. Let's buy one. It's only 15 Black Wind coins. "Higan was a little shameless. She did not want to leave because she wanted to eat the fried fish.
After spending 6 Black Wind coins for the ride, Tang Ling was left with 14 Black Wind coins.
Tang Ling scratched his head helplessly. He walked to the stall and smiled charmingly at the owner. "Boss, can I buy one for 14 Black Wind coins? Hmm, you can give me one less. "
Higan looked at Tang Ling strangely. She took a Black Sea coin out from her pocket and told the owner, "Two servings, Tang Ling. Aren't you going to eat?"
Tang Ling felt like his pride was shattered. He looked at Higan and said, "I'm so full. My treat!"
Higan smiled and shook her head. "Ah, I don't feel like eating fried fish anymore. Let's have some popsicles. I'm thirsty. "
Tang Ling turned around and saw a popsicle stand beside the fried fish stand. The signboard read 'Honey Popsicle', 1 Black Wind coin for one.
That's great!
Tang Ling felt relieved as he said, "What a coincidence! I want to eat popsicles too."
The two of them left the fried fish stall, and the boss wiped his cold sweat. He was really not used to a youth wearing a dog's head scarf smiling at him so craftily. What was he trying to do?
He lifted a corner of the dog bandana and finished the so-called honey popsicle in a few bites. The cheap popsicle was never the best as it only had a very, very faint sweetness to it.
However, it was a little refreshing on the shore at dusk.
Higan, on the other hand, squinted her eyes under the mask. A cheap honey popsicle seemed delicious to her.
The two of them strolled around for 10 minutes before they reached the end of the short Huanhai Road. There was a giant building in the shape of a shark's mouth, and below it was the cabin area.
**
Those who entered the ring area for the first time would be shocked by the luxurious lifestyle, the feasting, and the colorful scene.
There were 3D virtual projections everywhere, all kinds of shocking and luxurious entertainment facilities, luxurious restaurants, and many big screens that broadcast the real-time battle situation of each arena 24 hours a day. The scene of flesh and blood splattering incessantly stimulated the adrenaline of the audience.
However, Higan lost her curiosity in such a place. She did not look around but followed Tang Ling blindly. She would stare blankly at the back of Tang Ling's head from time to time, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
Since Higan was wearing a mask and the fact that beautiful women could be bought with money, Higan was not disturbed along the way.
As for Tang Ling, he had learned a lot about the ring area from Boss Huang's book, so he identified the direction and headed straight to the southwest area where the junior ring area was located.
Compared to the adult ring area, the junior ring area was not as popular.
The age limit was very strict, ranging from 15 to 22 years old.
In the Purple Moon era, everything had become harder, but strangely enough, the lifespan of humans had increased.
Excluding unnatural deaths, the average lifespan had reached 100 years, and the normal lifespan of a Purple Moon Warrior was even longer.
Some people believed that they should reclassify the age of human youth, youth, middle age, and old age.
For example, from 15 to 28 years old, they were considered the youth age.
From 28 to 50 years old, they were considered the youth age.
From 50 to 80 years old, they were considered the middle age.
After that, they were considered the old age.
As a matter of fact, some people exclaimed that if the old civilization had not been destroyed, human lifespan could have been extended to this age.
However, regardless of what the outside world said, the upper limit of the junior ring area in Darkness Port was 22 years old.
They were afraid that some geniuses at this age would have already broken through to rank 2 Purple Moon Warrior or above. If the difference in strength was too huge, the matches would be boring and might even affect the bets on the outer ring area.
However, even though the age limit of the ring area was strict, other than the adult ring area, whether it was the human-beast ring or the extreme ring that challenged all kinds of machines and rules, none of them were as popular as the junior ring area.
After all, discovering the rise of a genius was a very interesting thing.
In the Purple Moon era, many big shots had fought in the ring area of Darkness Port when they were young, hence the popularity of the ring area was further enhanced.
The junior ring area was divided into 11 normal areas, from A to K1.
In the normal areas, based on strength, age, and many other factors, youths with similar strength would be chosen to fight in the ring area.
Every time one won a match, the opponent would be stronger.
In short, the ring area was related to a complicated scoring system. A person with a starting score of 55 points would not encounter an opponent with a score higher than 60 points or lower than 50 points.
After winning a match, one might encounter an opponent with a score higher than 60 points or lower than 65 points, and so on and so forth.
According to Tang Ling's understanding, the first time one fought in the ring area, regardless of winning or losing, one would get 20 Black Wind coins.
However, if one lost the second match, they would get 40 Black Wind coins and if they won, they would get 1 Black Sea coin.
The third match would be the same, but the winner would get some benefits from the ring owner.
The fourth match would be the same, but the benefits would be more.
When it came to the fifth match, the winner's value would increase and they would be able to earn Darkness value.
However, the ring area was limited to two matches a day unless there were special circumstances. Many participants were waiting in line, so it was impossible for a single person to monopolize the ring area.
The rules sounded reasonable. Some might even think about winning the ring area and earning money even if they lost, so they could earn a living by fighting in the ring area.
It was a ridiculous thought.
The ring area of Darkness Port was very barbaric. There was almost no protection, and there were not many rules or restrictions. The only rule was that after the opponent surrendered, no one was allowed to continue attacking them.
However, it was normal for one to be killed or crippled under normal attacks.
Normal people would never dare to fight in the ring area for the 20 Black Wind coins in the first match because it would be suicidal.
After he arrived, Tang Ling was not in a hurry to fight. Instead, he walked around the ring area and observed the strength of the young participants.
Maybe it was because Tang Ling did not come during the golden hour between 3 to 6 pm or 8 to 11 pm.
It was around 6 pm, so the young participants were not that strong.
After some thought, Tang Ling decided to take the risk.
The seemingly normal triangular dog head scarf actually had an eye patch on the inside that could be pulled out to cover one's eyes, but it would make one look even more wretched like a thief.
Tang Ling did not care about that. After he walked around the ring area, he put on the eye patch and walked to an empty ring area.
The 3D holographic projection of this arena area was very shocking. Countless skeletons piled up to form a huge bone throne. Streams of blood that never dried gurgled down from the top of the bone throne.
The ring area was bigger than the others with a black, cold glare on top of the throne.
Tang Ling knew that the material with the black glare was a special kind of rock. It had a high iron content and was as sturdy as a grade A alloy.
It was a decent raw ore.
It was only polished and then used to build the ring. It was a very extravagant thing to do. In short, there was almost no one among the young participants who could destroy the ring! Unless they were a top genius!
If Tang Ling was a fan of the ring, he or she would definitely want to rush into the ring and fight a match that would allow him or her to fully unleash his or her strength and leave a strong mark in the ring.
However, the strange thing was that the ring was so quiet that no one was waiting to fight. There was not even a single audience.
A few days ago, Tang Ling would have been curious. He might not even know the details of the ring, such as the material used to build the ring.
Now, however, he was not curious at all.
Boss Huang's book lived up to its name and might be worth a lot of money.
Therefore, Tang Ling had a good understanding of the ring.
This was because this arena was the only one in the Junior Zone that was in Zone S.
It was not a common ring. It was known as the Desperado Ring and also the Legend Ring.
Why?
This was because those who dared to fight on this stage were either extremely powerful or desperate criminals.
Other than age, the ring had no restrictions. As long as one rang the bell beside the ring, one had to step into the ring and become the ring defender.
Anyone of the right age could step up and challenge the ring defender.
There was no need to worry about the lack of challengers. The purpose of the ring was to seek the greatest thrill. Any challenger who won would be rewarded with 50 Black Sea coins.
