GOR Chapter 501 "Evil! Truly evil! "
What gave the commander a headache was that many of these troublemakers weren't ordinary people. Some of them had backgrounds that gave the commander a headache and made things difficult for him.
Not all martial artists were poor people who had fallen from grace!
In fact, in recent days, many of the participants had quite the background!
This was mainly due to Du Wei's actions!
As the dignified Grand Duke of the Empire, General of the Empire, and Minister of the Northwest Military Affairs, Du Wei actually signed up for the competition …. Such an action not only caused a lively discussion, but also aroused the interest of some nobles!
As nobles, most of them had the title of 'Knight'. Of course, some of them were bought but there were some who had some real ability.
In the beginning, everyone thought of this as a lively event … but even the Grand Duke of the Tulip Family is participating! Then, why don't I join in and have some fun!
As for the status of nobles … if the Grand Duke of the Tulip Family doesn't care, why should we?
Besides, some of the participants had other motives. For example, they wanted to take the opportunity to make friends with the Grand Duke. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity! By participating in the same competition, they might have the opportunity to make friends with the Empire's most popular person!
As a result, many of the nobles in the Imperial Capital signed up.
Many of the nobles from other places also came to join in the fun.
What gave the Commander an even bigger headache was … there were many who came to the Imperial Capital to participate in the competition. They were simply lawless fellows!
For example, some of the martial artists from the Northern Mercenary Corps!
Mercenary Corps had only been legal for two years and these mercenaries had been involved in illegal smuggling for many years! They were not afraid when facing the Imperial Army! Drinking, fighting and causing trouble were a common occurrence!
There were even some mercenary corps that sent dozens of people to the Imperial Capital to participate in the competition!
For most of the participants, the championship was out of the question … they all knew what kind of person they were. Most of them were aiming for the 'top 50' prize!
Even if they could not win the championship, they should still be able to get a spot in the top 50!
In a competition, it was not a matter of whose Knight's level was higher! After all, many of the so-called high level Knight's were bought with money! Only God knows if the opponent is a tough bone or a pussy!
Moreover, in a martial arts competition, one needed courage, timing, location, and even luck! Improvisation!!! Many of them may be good at martial arts, but when it comes to real combat, their legs would go soft!
And these mercenaries were all old foxes! In their early years, they had ventured into the Frozen Forest! They had seen blood and killed people!!
Worse … there was still hope: My opponent might have diarrhea on the day of the competition!!
In short, there is still hope!
Moreover, as long as one could get into the top 50, the rewards would be very tempting!
Everyone received a set of silver armor and weapons, as well as a reward of 10,000 gold coins!
10,000 gold coins!!! For most people, ten thousand gold coins was enough to eat and drink for the rest of their lives!
Knight Knight 'Knight's Knight's Guild Guild's Knight Knight's Guild Guild Although the Knight's Guild Guild was already an empty shell, it looks like it will be rebuilt! Joining the Knight's Guild Guild would also give them a stable income …
Why wouldn't he do it?
•
Relying on this excitement, Du Wei's businesses made a windfall!
Zuckerberg, this black-hearted businessman, rushed out a batch of 'high grade weapons'. The armors were inlaid with all kinds of gold and gems, looking gorgeous and imposing. The bright and dazzling swords were also decorated with elven patterns personally designed by Du Wei! There was also a shield carved with beautiful patterns by a famous artist in the Imperial Capital …
With this set of equipment, not to mention fighting, just standing there was enough to make the girls in the audience scream!
How much do you think this set of equipment can be sold for?
1,000 gold coins? That's the cost! At least 5,000 gold coins!! Don't even think about getting it in stock, you have to pre-order!! Because right now, the Tulip Family's workshop is working at full speed day and night!
You have to understand the thoughts of those nobles. They would absolutely not be willing to wear the same black iron armor as those bumpkin warriors and hold the same ugly looking sword!
In their view, if a sword's hilt is not inlaid with a few gems, can it still be called a 'sword'?!
And Du Wei, this black-hearted boss, shamelessly gave this set of armor an extremely shameless name, 'Paladin Armor'!!
Listen! Paladin Armor! This beautiful set of armor is prepared for the Paladin! Then, after I wear it, I'll at least look a little more imposing!
What is this called? Decent!!
In one breath, 500 sets of this' Paladin Armor 'made by Du Wei were pre-ordered. Of course, those who pre-ordered were not the participants. Most of them were the nobles who used it to show off their prestige and put on a show.
For a moment, the purpose of this martial arts competition was not achieved. Instead, it set off a trend of collecting gorgeous weapons and armors in the circle of nobles in the Imperial Capital … As long as it is a weapon, it doesn't need to be sharp or practical. It just needs to be as gorgeous as possible!
In any case, these people who bought it back did not expect to wear it to war. It was just to put on a show and attract the adoring gazes and screams of some young girls.
For a moment, in the circle of nobles in the Imperial Capital, some of the young nobles did not like to wear the traditional gorgeous attire at many banquets. Instead, there were many who liked to wear a full set of armor to attend the banquets!
Of course … to take care of the physical strength of these young nobles who were soaked in wine and sex … because you can't expect these people to be able to wear a set of armor that weighs dozens of kilograms and still be alive. For most of the nobles, if they were to wear a set of real armor, forget about walking, it would be a miracle if they could even stand up straight!
So … … Duwei's "cutting corners" was simply outrageous to the point of "cutting corners"!
Have you ever heard of a set of armor that only weighs dozens of kilograms?
Yes! Du Wei did it!
Because for this type of armor, forget about swords … a stick? No no no! Not even a stick!
In Du Wei's opinion, the only use of this type of armor was that it looked good!
As for its defensive capabilities …
Du Wei recalled something from his previous life: That can of drink after drinking the contents of a can! With a squeeze, it can be flattened …
The black-hearted merchant Du Wei looked at the financial report sent by Zuckerberg and secretly laughed.
Then, he tossed aside the account book in his hand and looked at Zuckerberg. He rubbed his chin and said with a smile, "Right, I just remembered something good. We are almost done selling the weapons … let's get the tickets for this competition!"
"Tickets?" Zuckerberg was surprised.
"That's right, tickets!" Du Wei exclaimed in an exaggerated manner, "Heavens! Surely, you don't think that such an important 'national' competition can be watched for free, do you?"
Zuckerberg saw the sinister look in his boss' eyes and praised inwardly: Truly despicable! There was a look of excitement on his face as he said, "You mean, it will be like watching an opera? Selling tickets to watch the martial arts competition? "
"That's right! That's how it is, "Du Wei said with a smile.
"But … what about the venue?" Zuckerberg quickly thought of a crucial issue. "The biggest opera house in the Imperial City is too small for something like a martial arts competition."
Du Wei quickly thought about it and suddenly smiled. "What do you think of the headquarters of the Knight's Association?"
The headquarters of the Knight's Association was a patio-like building … generally speaking, it was similar to the stadium that Du Wei had seen in his previous life. Additionally, the flat area in the middle was the size of two football fields. Surrounding it were three storey high buildings! With just a slight modification …
Du Wei has already thought about it. When the time comes, the tickets will be divided into three classes! First class tickets can only be watched from the ground floor! These tickets are the most popular! Because the square in the middle is the size of two football fields, the arena only needs to be half the size of a football field! The rest of the empty space can be used to sell tickets!
Second class tickets are more expensive and can be watched from the second floor. With a higher vantage point, the price will naturally be higher!
As for the third floor … … That's the VIP box!! As for the price, it naturally won't be cheap!! A VIP box is a symbol of status! Those rich nobles are naturally willing to fork out the money! When the time comes for him and Prince Son to sit on the third floor, the other nobles will obediently fork out their money to watch the competition!
Calculating it, from the preliminaries to the group stage, then the knockout stage, and finally the finals … … With so many matches, how much money can they make!!
Du Wei briefly explained his idea to Zuckerberg, but before he could finish, Zuckerberg's eyes were already filled with greed!
"Boss … …" Zuckerberg swallowed hard before looking at Du Wei: "Can I give you a heartfelt compliment?"
"Uh … … Go ahead."
Zuckerberg's eyes were incomparably sincere as he looked at Du Wei with a face full of worship: "Boss, if we're talking about black-hearted and despicable … … I'm afraid no one in the entire continent can compare to you!" After a pause, he excitedly cheered: "Boss, you're too despicable! Too shameless! "
Du-Wei was "embarrassed" for a moment, then he patted Zach's shoulder and gently said: "Okay, you are not Gregory, and I am not that fatty Roger … … But, I accept your compliment."
(Hehe, I'm sure a lot of people have seen the blasphemy scene ^ _ ^)
