Chapter 134: A Mediocre Vigilante A

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fang Ning had watched everything unfold in shock.

Fang Ning said, “System, you actually stole the door huh…”

The System huffed, “Are you amazed? Nobody knows that this grand gate is a grand treasure as well. The Champion Award for this Dark Tournament, 100 million dollars, the right to access Paradise Island are all almost the same as the gate.”

“You’re the treasure expert, so I’ll definitely believe you. But you’re in Heroic Mode now, so aren’t you afraid of your Heroic Attribute dropping because you’re stealing something?”

“How does this count as stealing? The gate followed me willingly, I’m saving him from his misery so I believe my Heroic Attribute will increase instead.”

Fang Ning rolled his eyes, thoroughly impressed at the System’s logic, “Sh*t, I totally forgot that that gate was alive! I heard that the face on the gate told you a secret right, but he must have used telepathy because I couldn’t hear what he said. Tell me, what was the secret about?”

“He was actually a top gourmet. He told me that the dish I carried out had a lot of flaws and that I had a lot more space for improvement both in my culinary skills and in the ingredients used. He’ll be giving a few tips to the chef, who is that replacement mechanical puppet, that made the dish on how to cook tastier food…”

Fang Ning was speechless, “As if I’ll believe you…”

While they continued their conversation, Vigilante A had already exited the Challenge Corridor. A step forward was all it took before a vast scenic sight revealed itself.

Although they saw a scenic sight, Fang Ning experienced quite a fright. As it turned out, the single step Vigilante A took had him suspended in mid-air.

Thankfully, he did not fall to his death. Once Fang Ning looked at things through the System View, he discovered the whole truth and was in awe of the designer.

As it turned out, Vigilante A was in fact standing on a suspended glass skyway; everything from the deck to the lattice was made entirely out of glass.

The end of the bridge was connected to a transparent suspended platform. A door separated the bridge and the platform and a row of transparent tables and chairs were located along the front of the door. A serious man in a suit and a group of flashy-looking women sat at one of the tables; they must be the staff.

The suspended platform was like a dome over the area, it was shaped like a hemisphere.

However, everything from the platform to the tables and chairs were made from glass; if Fang Ning hadn’t used the System View to look at things, he would have never discovered the mysterious secret of the platform.

The glass used did not reflect any light at all, and no matter how you looked at it, you would just see directly through it. The scenic sight was not distorted in the slightest and it was truly an amazing sight.

Under this extreme transparency, Fang Ning could clearly see another bridge directly connected to the other side of the dome-like platform. It was also connected to a Challenge Corridor, so it would go without saying that his opponent must be coming from there.

He looked below the platform and saw the audience seats, which were quite similar to the ones in soccer arenas.

They were standing rows and seated rows lined up against each other from the bottom all the way to the top to form a curved slope. Fang Ning also realized that there was quite a number of sleeper seats too, and they were all located in the best places to watch the match…

Sadly, the audience seats were all deserted, as there was not a single soul in sight. The audience maybe weren’t allowed in yet, and were probably waiting somewhere; they were certainly going to use a different entry method anyway.

Fang Ning started building the general model of this arena in his mind: it was a sphere, with the challengers duking it out in the upper half of the sphere, while the audience watched in the lower half of the sphere.

He could already see the entire situation after the match started: Extraordinaires would battle in the upper half of the sphere while the audiences would watch with their heads slightly looking upwards, which would be strenuous after a while.

Those that bought seated tickets would be able to lie back and rest their head against the back of their chair. Their bodies would be slightly tilted and it would be slightly more comfortable.

As for those that bought sleeper tickets, they would enjoy the most comfort. They could watch the match lying down or on their side, depending on where their sleepers were.

It would be similar to watching the clouds roll by while you lay on a field, all you had to do was take care not to fall asleep halfway through or you would be wasting your ticket. However, with the light and sound effects from a battle between Extraordinaires, falling asleep would prove quite difficult…

This was entirely different from a traditional soccer arena: audiences in soccer arenas would be looking down at the match and any audience members that were unhappy at the match could throw white handkerchiefs, plastic bottles, lighters, mobile phones, or even firecrackers…

The challengers here were all located above them, so the audience would instead be looking up at their… bottoms.

If they didn’t like the match going on, they could only look down. There was nothing else they could do. If they were to throw anything, it would only come falling back down on them…

While Fang Ning was immersed in taking in the size of the arena, Vigilante A remained immobile.

At this moment, two staff members came walking over from far away.

It was a male and female pair; the male was a regular-looking Asian while the female was a gorgeous white woman with long legs. She was dressed provocatively and was quite attention-grabbing.

Halfway through, the man stopped in his tracks as if he was listening to an order coming in.

A moment later, he and the woman continued walking towards Vigilante A to welcome him.

“Hello, are you the Venerable Dragon God?” The Asian man spoke Chinese fluently and had perfect pronunciation.

Vigilante A answered, “That is I, what time is the match starting?”

The Asian man responded, “The match starts in two hours. Your opponent arrived quite early, however, you can first take a break.”

“Let’s go then.”

The Asian man promptly waved his hands to stop Vigilante A, “There’s one more thing. All challengers that pass through the Challenge Corridor successfully receive a valuable starter reward.

“Since you already took the gate, that gate will be your starter reward; if not, you’ll have to return the gate in exchange for the real starter reward. The starter reward is extremely valuable and with your Supreme Challenger status, you’ll not only be getting millions of dollars as an appearance fee, you’ll also be getting a gift package that is only available the first time you participate. The next time you participate you’ll only be getting the appearance fee, nothing else.”

Vigilante A hesitated, “If that’s the case…”

Fang Ning saw that things were going haywire; the System was too obvious. They weren’t idiots, so why wouldn’t they be able to tell that the gate was a treasure?

He immediately asked the System to keep quiet before he proceeded to make up something for the System to say.

After the System heard what it was supposed to say, it immediately retracted its previous statement, “How can that be? The starter reward is a starter reward, but the gate is my trophy. They’re not the same!

“I have a habit of taking even the most worthless of trophies. Besides, the guard of the gate is a gourmet, just like me, and he has never committed any wrongdoings so he doesn’t deserve to be bound to that gate for an eternity. Saving him was what I was supposed to do.”

The Asian man was at a loss for words before he received another transmission a few moments later. He recovered immediately and spoke promptly, “Don’t anger yourself, great hero. It is your first time here so we are at fault for not explaining the rules and regulations too. That gate will count as a bonus reward, you’ll be getting the starter reward as usual.”

The System reacted impatiently according to orders, “You could have just said so earlier, what a waste of my time.”

The Asian man noticed that Vigilante A was about to get angry again and immediately said that the starter reward would be sent to the lounge before asking for Vigilante A to receive the reward there. The System finally nodded his head and asked to be brought to the lounge immediately.

The pair then brought Vigilante A to descend down one side of the skyway; there was another set of glass staircase that they followed round and round before they reached a room called “Challengers’ Lounge”. After the pair made their leave, Vigilante A was left to his lonesome to rest.

The lounge was decorated extravagantly; it was fully furnished and the refrigerator was stocked full of food and drinks too.

Half an hour later, a staff member really did appear with the starter reward, which was a gold card and a box.

Vigilante A patiently listened to the staff member’s explanation; the card had 20 million dollars and was the appearance fee part of the starter reward. The box was the gift package that everybody got the first time they participated; it contained herbs, ores and a whole bunch of things related to cultivation.

The staff member also explained that the tournament hadn’t been made public yet since the arena’s ability to earn is limited. It can’t even compare to top boxing stars. However, once the global restrictions have been lifted, their appearance fee would increase greatly.

Vigilante A was extremely pleased with what he heard and wished them the best of luck.

While they conversed, a tanned and stocky man barged in suddenly.

His gaze swept across the room before he said to Vigilante A, “Are you the fella that killed Anderson? Anderson almost killed me the last time so I spent a whole year training hard. I wanted to exact my revenge but you’ve gone and killed him. Why don’t you show me just how powerful you are?”

Right after the tanned man finished speaking, a staff member promptly appeared behind him.

He stood to the front of the tanned man and stretched out his arms to stop him, “Mr N’gun, the tournament hasn’t begun and challengers are not allowed to meet so please return to your own lounge. The audience is starting to enter their seats and the match will be starting soon, so please be patient.”

“F*ck off!” N’gun glared at the staff member before he swung his arm, the force sending the staff member flying towards the wall!

A gust of gentle vital energy appeared between the staff member and the wall, stopping him just in time. He looked at the seated hero with gratefulness in his eyes; it was his fortune he had met this hero. If it were some other challenger, they wouldn’t have batted an eyelid…

A voice resounded loudly from the middle of the room all of a sudden.

“You evildoer, how dare you attempt to kill an innocent person! I’ll exterminate you!”

The pair of staff members had already cowered to a corner in the room; they’ve had plenty of experience already.

N’gun barely flinched as his body suddenly emitted a yellowish-brown aura before it started wrapping around him like a shell.

“Bang!” A thunderous sound echoed through the room, the tremor causing everything in the room to shake terribly.

N’gun resisted the hit, his face unchanging as he shook his head, “That’s so-so, your offensive ability is so much weaker than Anderson. I, N’gun, will definitely win the tournament this round. The champion of the Dark Tournament this year will be me!”

Right after he finished speaking, he turned to leave, not the least bit worried that Vigilante A would attack him from behind.

Vigilante A didn’t attack him, but instead turned towards the staff member that had delivered the started reward, “You hadn’t finished speaking earlier, so do continue. Where did you buy that ‘Snow Mountain Ice Quartz’ from?”

The staff member continued speaking while the other one immediately stood up and left the lounge. He followed behind N’gun; although he was full of fear and distaste for the man, he still had to do his job.

This tournament of Extraordinaires would be competitive and intense; if they could publicize this to the world, they would definitely enjoy overwhelming popularity. However, who would know of the troubles and dangers of the people maintaining order behind-the-scenes?

They couldn’t possibly staff Extraordinaires fully to maintain order, because when faced with these Grade A Extraordinaires, regular Extraordinaires weren’t all that different from regular folk. As for those that could stand against them, who would want to work as a low-rank staff member? Only a few people in the senior management were strong Extraordinaires.

Unless they built a strong deterrent force, they would never care about the regular staff.

Although the number of staff working behind-the-scenes on this Dark Tournament weren’t lacking in number, it just wasn’t enough to be a deterrent force against the current number of Grade A Extraordinaires. Otherwise, N’gun wouldn’t have dared to directly visit his opponent’s lounge to pick a fight.
