Soon after, everyone finally arrived at the core area of Linjiang District, where the Jiangnan Martial Arts Competition was held.
Since the names of Qin Tian, Li Jinrui and Chen Ze had already been linked to the Li family, they were soon able to follow Li Jiangtao into the venue where the conference was held.
After passing through the gate and walking through a long and narrow passage, everything finally became clear.
Seeing the scene in front of him, even Qin Tian, who was well-informed and had seen many big scenes, couldn't help but feel slightly shocked.
At this time, Qin Tian even thought that he had some illusion, and suddenly came from the city to a remote suburb, or to a forest full of natural scenery.
Because what he saw in front of him at this moment was not a crowded and noisy dueling arena, or the interior of a building.
What appeared in front of him turned out to be an entire extremely large lake. On the edge of the lake was a very flat lawn, carefully dotted with different types of flowers and plants.
There are green trees in the distance, and not a single building can be seen at all.
This sight made Qin Tian very surprised. Even Li Jinrui and Chen Ze on the side were overwhelmed by the beautiful scenery.
Li Jinrui was the first to say uncontrollably.
"This, how on earth is this done?"
"Why is there a lake and even a forest in this place? This is not Linjiang District, it is in the city!"
Chen Ze also looked shocked and couldn't stop his eyes.
After hearing these words, Li Jiangtao smiled softly and said.
"I knew you would definitely have this expression when you first came here, because in fact, anyone who appears in this place for the first time will behave similarly to you."
"In other words, you are already the calmest group I have ever seen. If it were anyone else, you might think you are dreaming."
Qin Tian looked at Li Jiangtao and asked curiously.
"It seems you know where this place is and why it has such a strange sight?"
Li Jiangtao nodded and said calmly.
"Yes, actually this scene is not a secret. Only people who have never been here have never heard of it."
"Of course I didn't mean to mock Mr. Qin by saying these things, it's just that you have never been here before."
"As for why it is in Linjiang District, there is such a big lake and a forest in the most prosperous area in the city center."
"It's because our current location is actually underground in Linjiang District."
"As for this lake, it is a very wide underground lake, and the forest in the distance was also artificially transplanted with trees later."
After hearing this, Qin Tian pointed to the sky above his head.
"You said this is underground, but how do you explain the sky above your head?"
Li Jiangtao said lightly with a slight smile.
"Of course it was artificially projected, or it could be a large screen, because no one has ever touched the top of this space, so we don't know how this sky is formed."
"But what is certain is that this must be a product of technology, but the technical means used are far beyond anything we understand."
"There used to be some rumors circulating in Haicheng, saying that Shemen has mastered very powerful technology, even far beyond the current era."
"It is also said that the Shemen has been cultivating scientists who are loyal to itself since the last century, and has been secretly accumulating strength in order to one day subvert their hometown and become the true ruler here."
"However, most of these rumors are just rumors, and no one can produce any effective evidence to prove them all."
"Perhaps the underground space we are in now is the only place that can prove those rumors."
"It's just an underground hollow and an artificial sky. This doesn't actually mean anything. It's just that there is too much money and nowhere to spend it."
"I believe that there are many powerful technology companies in the world that can produce this kind of fake-like effect, but there is no need to do so."
After listening to Li Jiangtao's explanation, Qin Tian's curiosity was not resolved much, but he became even more interested in the technology possessed by Shemen.
And after hearing these words, Qin Tian suddenly had an idea in his mind.
That was Master Ye who fought against him that day without losing. Could it be that he was able to compete head-on with him because he used some kind of technical means to strengthen his body?
This explanation is also very reasonable. After all, it can explain why Qin Tian clearly did not feel any magical energy fluctuations in Master Ye, but the other party was so powerful.
If Mr. Ye's body has been transformed by technology, then it can explain all this.
Of course, Qin Tian has no way to be sure that his guess is correct for the time being. Perhaps it is just because Master Ye has learned some method of hiding his own aura that he will not detect the true situation.
No matter what, no matter where this place is, at least the first time I came here, the scene in front of me really shocked Qin Tian, Li Jinrui and others.
Such beautiful scenery cannot be seen outside.
At this time, there were already many people in this space who came to participate in or observe the Jiangnan Martial Arts Tournament, and the scene was becoming more and more lively.
According to the information obtained by Li Jiangtao's men, the foreplay for the Jiangnan Martial Arts Tournament should begin soon.
The Jiangnan Martial Arts Tournament is a grand event after all, and it will only officially start when the vast majority of people have arrived.
But we can't let everyone wait here until everyone comes. Of course, the beautiful scenery here can be admired for a long time.
But if you watch it for too long, you will always feel a little bored.
Therefore, before every Jiangnan martial arts tournament officially begins, there will be a foreplay, or a pre-dinner dessert.
That is to hold some boxing and fighting matches. Anyone who comes here can bet on the results of these matches, and once they win, they can get quite generous benefits.
The reason why many people come to watch the Jiangnan Martial Arts Competition may not be to watch the competition from the beginning, but to come here to bet on boxing!
Many people became rich overnight through this method, but some people jumped directly into the underground lake ahead after losing the bet.
The lake in the distance seems very calm and beautiful, but in fact, there are countless gamblers' bones sunk at the bottom of the lake.
Or it's because not every Jiangnan Tournament is held by Shemen. If every session is scheduled to be held in this place, I'm afraid this underground lake will soon be filled with the bones of gamblers.
Of course, those gamblers do not deserve anyone's sympathy. Everyone knows that nine times out of ten they gamble, they will lose, and the final outcome will most likely end up in the rooftops with their families and families destroyed.
But there are still some people who cannot resist the temptation of money and choose to take risks.
In the eyes of these people, they may only see those who get rich overnight and live a happy life, but they do not see losers who lose everything a hundred or even a thousand times.
Qin Tian, Li Jinrui and others quickly found a pretty good location. On the one hand, they could enjoy the beautiful scenery here, and on the other hand, they could also see many situations on the lakeside arena.
The arena is set up around the lake. There are more than ten arenas available for use around the entire lake.
When the time comes, the venue for the Jiangnan Martial Arts Tournament will be on these stages.
After every Jiangnan martial arts competition, the lake water will be dyed a lot red. It will take a while for the water in the lake to circulate partially before the color of the water will return to normal.
"Mr. Qin, I heard that the first final is about to start. I wonder if you are interested in placing a bet?"
After Li Jiangtao got the news from his subordinates, he smiled and said to Qin Tian.
After hearing this, Qin Tian subconsciously wanted to refuse. After all, he was just an ordinary person. Although he was now powerful and his status was not ordinary, Qin Tian still only wanted to maintain his previous life and was unwilling to be contaminated by these things.
But Li Jinrui on the side said with a smile.
"Mr. Qin, small gambling is pleasant and big gambling is harmful to the body. In fact, there is nothing wrong with playing before the Jiangnan Martial Arts Competition. There are no rules or thresholds for betting here. Even if you only bet one dollar, it is okay. "
"Besides, I think with your strength, it should be easy to tell who is strong and who is weak among the contestants in the ring."
"Why not give it a try? Don't you have three daughters? I don't think they can live a good life just relying on your salary from teaching at the university."
"You can't prepare to rely on your wife to support the children when they grow up, right?"
Qin Tian also had to admit that Li Jinrui did know him very well, and even knew him better than Lu Wan to a certain extent.
Qin Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was obviously beginning to feel a little excited.
Because as Li Jinrui said, with his strength and vision, he is extremely tricky at judging people.
When others look at these contestants, they may simply guess who is more powerful based on their appearance.
But Qin Tian can detect the level of their hard power by sensing the aura and blood fluctuations of these people.
And everyone who can come here to participate in the competition has their own boss behind them, and they all take other people's money to participate in the competition to win for their boss.
After all, they do not belong to the people organizing the competition, so those organizers have no way to control winning or losing by manipulating them.
Therefore, every contestant absolutely wants to win, and must work hard to win so that they can continue to work under the boss and get more rewards.
Naturally, there is no fake match, so for this kind of match, when there is a certain gap in hard power between the two sides, it is difficult for the weak to defeat the strong.
At this time, two contestants had already entered the ring closest to Qin Tian. One of them was short and very thin. He looked like he was being forced to go to die.
At this time, many of the surrounding onlookers also had the same view.
"What do you mean, why did you find a short and skinny monkey to compete in this competition? Isn't it obvious that you want to lose the competition on purpose?"
"Haha, it doesn't matter whether he loses or not, no matter how low the odds are, he won't lose anyway. Mosquito legs are also legs. Anyway, I have already overwhelmed the guy opposite."
"Me too, don't worry about the low odds. As long as we have enough principal, we will always make a profit."
"Let me go, why are there people suppressing that dwarf? Where did this rich guy come from? Is this because he has money and nowhere to spend it and wants to do charity for the brothers?"
I don't know who suddenly said this, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on the place where the bet was placed.
At this time, Qin Tiancai had just bet on one thousand yuan, and according to the odds at this time, once the dwarf who was disliked by everyone won, Qin Tian's one thousand yuan would be directly multiplied by ten thousand times, directly turning into one thousand yuan. A huge amount of money!
Qin Tian originally placed his bet there very calmly, but unexpectedly, he was surrounded by many people in the blink of an eye.
Qin Tian originally thought that the organizer wanted him to cancel the bet because he couldn't afford it, but he didn't expect that all these people came to see his joke.
"Brother, did you pay that thousand yuan just now?"
Someone patted Qin Tian on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Qin Tian was a little confused and didn't want anything to happen here, so he nodded and agreed.
"I made the bet. What's wrong? I heard that there is no threshold for betting here. Isn't it okay to pay a thousand yuan?"
"Haha, of course it's no problem. I just want to find out from you, where are you employed and how much is your annual salary?"
"I'm a teacher, so I can't tell you about my annual salary. What's the matter with you?"
Although Qin Tian did not reveal the specific figures of his company, his job as a teacher immediately aroused laughter from others.
"Pfft, brothers have solved the case. This man is not a rich man at all, he is a fool!"
"Hey, anyone can be a teacher these days. I feel so sorry for the students he teaches. In the end, I'm afraid not all of them will be able to get into college."
"Does anyone know which school this brother is from? Why don't you call the leaders of their school and expel him immediately? Don't delay other people's studies!"
"Haha, it's so interesting. I didn't expect to meet such a stupid person in this age."
"Okay, okay, the game seems to be about to start. There is no need to pay attention to this fool. He will cry when he loses later!"
"I guess he's a gambling dog. He just likes to go against others and make a lot of money!"
…
Listening to everyone's discussion, Qin Tian slowly finally understood why they were laughing at him and why they came to inquire about his work and income.
After thinking about all this, Qin Tian didn't go to anyone to explain. He just smiled and shook his head helplessly.
Although the dwarf on the stage was disliked by everyone, only Qin Tian could see with his own eyes that the energy and blood fluctuations in the dwarf's body were extremely strong.
Moreover, his body has been tempered many times, and every muscle contains explosive power.
In terms of overall strength, the tall and sturdy guy opposite him was just a vase, and there was no way he could compare with that dwarf.
It was precisely because of this that Qin Tiancai put a thousand dollars on Chaozi. (End of chapter)
