Volume 1 Clone Army Chapter 50: God of War Tournament
In the private room of the War Bar, Kaqi and Bella ordered drinks, and then ordered some fruits and snacks.
Li Jiu leaned back on the sofa, smoking a cigarette and watching the mercenaries reveling in the bar. At this moment, he didn't care. He had already ordered a bottle of wine worth 6,000 yuan, so he didn't care if Kaqi and the others ordered more snacks ...
The service at the War Bar was quite good. Not long after Kaqi and her friends ordered, two beautiful waitresses came and brought their food over.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Zi had just parked his car and happened to pass by.
"Haha, you guys are really fast. Everything is here." Lei Zi looked at the table full of wine, drinks, fruits and said with a smile, and sat down between Li Jiu and Kaqi.
"Huh? What kind of wine did you order today? I don't think I've had it before. It looks pretty good..." After Lei Zi sat down, he grabbed a bottle of wine on the seat and looked at it excitedly.
After hearing this, Li Jiu couldn't help but twitch his face twice in pain, thinking, this must be good, it's six thousand dollars a bottle...
At the same time, Li Jiu couldn't help but look at the bottle of wine in front of him. He wanted to see what kind of thing it was that dared to sell it for six thousand dollars a bottle...
It was a big-bellied, narrow-necked wine bottle with exquisite patterns carved on the surface. The bottle body was as transparent as crystal, and you could see the emerald green wine inside.
"Haha, of course it's good. This is Green-Eyed Wolf Wine which costs 6,000 Alliance Coins a bottle..." Bella grabbed a bottle of wine and smiled, and said to Lei Zi, while glancing at Li Jiu meaningfully.
The expression on Li Jiu's face froze instantly. Green-eyed wolf wine... Isn't this obviously a roundabout way of scolding me?
Forget it, a good man doesn't fight with a woman, so I won't bother with you...
"Six thousand Alliance coins for a bottle? Wow, it looks like a really good wine. I'm really grateful to Brother Li Jiu for today." Lei Zi was shocked when he heard the price of the wine. Then he frowned and asked seriously, "But the War Bar actually has Green-Eyed Wolf wine. This is the first time I've heard of it..."
"Haha, didn't you hear about it today?" Bella smiled and opened a bottle of wine and handed it to Kaqi. At the same time, she opened another bottle for herself, then glanced at everyone, raised the bottle in her hand and said, "Okay, come on, to celebrate the victory of this mission and welcome Li Jiu to join the fifth team, let's have a drink together."
Everyone responded to Bella's call, raised their bottles with a smile, touched them together in the air, and then took a sip directly from the bottle.
For mercenaries, drinking doesn't require a cup, they just drink directly from the bottle...
Li Jiu took a big sip, but just after swallowing half of it, he almost spit out the other half...
Because, this taste doesn't taste like any alcohol at all, it tastes exactly like pineapple beer!
After tasting the wine, Li Jiu was dumbfounded. He couldn't help but complain in his heart, damn, a bottle of pineapple beer that only costs a few dollars in the virtual world is actually sold for six thousand dollars here?
As a result, his impression of the War Bar instantly dropped to freezing point. This is simply a shady shop!
Although the taste of this wine was not very good, but when he thought that he spent 6,000 yuan to buy this bottle of wine, Li Jiu still tilted his head back and swallowed the other half of the wine in his mouth without leaving a drop.
At the same time, he also displayed some Ah Q spirit, comforting himself by saying that maybe this high-end wine might taste like this, but he, a country bumpkin, just didn't know the taste...
"Tsk tsk, it's really a good wine worth 6,000 Alliance coins per bottle. The taste is really extraordinary." Lei Zi took a sip, smacked his lips, and exclaimed seriously, as if what he drank was really some kind of nectar, and it was still very delicious after taking a sip...
Li Jiu put down the bottle, took out a cigarette from his pocket, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Lei Zi: "Brother, come on, have one."
"Well...Brother Li Jiu, I don't smoke." Lei Zi looked at the cigarette Li Jiu handed over, frowned slightly, and there was some hesitation on his face.
"You really don't smoke? Or do you think my cigarettes are not good?" Li Jiu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.
"Brother, what are you talking about?" Lei Zi's face suddenly darkened, pretending to be unhappy, then shook his head, smiled helplessly and said: "Okay, since brother said so, I won't waste my words."
After saying that, Lei Zi took the cigarette from Li Jiu, and Li Jiu helped him light it, then lit one for himself and put the cigarette box on the table.
"Inhale...exhale..." Li Jiu took a deep breath, and suddenly his eyelids twitched as he remembered something.
So he glanced at everyone and said, "By the way, do you know what kind of selection competition our mercenary group has?"
"Selections? What selections? Where did you hear about it?" Lei Zi was stunned for a moment, took out a cigarette from his mouth, and asked with some confusion .
"I was eating in the base cafeteria this morning and heard it from other mercenaries." Li Jiu flicked the ash from his cigarette and replied.
"You're talking about the God of War Tournament." At this moment, Captain Kaqi took a sip and said calmly.
"Victory Competition? I seem to have heard of it before, but I'm not sure what it is exactly." Bella was eating snacks and turned to look at Kachi, wondering.
"But why have I never heard of it?" Lei Zi frowned and asked in confusion.
At the same time, Li Jiu also looked at Kaqi with curiosity.
Kaqi grabbed the bottle and took a sip to moisten her throat. She glanced at everyone and said, "The God of War Tournament is a mercenary competition held by the alliance, held once a year. It has been held for five consecutive years since the war began. Lei Zi, although you woke up earlier than Li Jiu, it's still less than a year, so it's normal that you haven't heard of it."
"As for Bella, you've only been a mercenary for more than half a year. I guess you didn't care much about these things before, so you haven't heard of them."
"The original purpose of the God of War Tournament was to encourage citizens of the Alliance to join the mercenary group to fight against the Defender Empire. But now, it has evolved into a feast of honor for the Alliance mercenaries. Almost all mercenary groups in the Alliance will participate, and each mercenary group can only send one team to participate." Kaqi continued to explain, and at the same time looked at Li Jiu and said: "Li Jiu, the selection competition you mentioned is the competition for our mercenary group to select participating teams."
After listening to the captain's explanation, Li Jiu and the other two showed thoughtful expressions on their faces.
"Captain, what are the benefits of participating in this competition? Why does it attract all mercenary groups to participate?" Li Jiu thought for a while and continued to ask.
"The God of War Tournament can attract all the mercenary groups in the alliance, so naturally it has set extremely attractive rewards." Kaqi replied.
"This competition is divided into four stages, namely the district-level auditions, the city-level promotion rounds, the provincial-level elimination rounds, and finally the league-wide finals."
"Only one team can win each stage, and the winning team will not only receive a large amount of money as a reward, but also a certain amount of combat merit points as a reward."
"However, what most excites the mercenaries is not the two rewards mentioned above, but the honor reward given to the mercenaries by the competition."
"There are two types of glory rewards. One is the glory title reward, and the other is the glory equipment reward."
"The team that wins the district-level qualifiers will be awarded the title of Elite and elite equipment. The team that wins the city-level promotion tournament will be awarded the title of Warrior and warrior equipment. The team that wins the provincial-level elimination tournament will be awarded the title of Hero and hero equipment."
"And the team that wins the final of the league will be able to obtain the only supreme title, God of War. At the same time, they will also be able to obtain the God of War equipment that symbolizes the highest glory!"
