Chapter 1477  Suspicious Tournament

There was not much detail about the tournament. It just told the participants there was a tournament and the prize. Just as Vandir said, the prize was tempting for him not to participate. However, a tournament during a trial sounded suspicious.

Since it was announced by the system. The tournament should be legit, but that was just too weird. A competition in a competition. That was what it felt like.

"Your today's meal will be our tab," A rough voice interrupted his thought as a plate with two sandwiches was placed in front of him. Tang Shaoyang looked up. It was the sperson who stopped him earlier.

The man that was over two meters smiled, grinning, revealing his white teeth, "This is a Dragon Steak Sandwich also a cup of special coffee from my world."

"Thank you," Tang Shaoyang did not refuse the free meal. The first thing he did was to see the hot coffee. There was a difference in color between the coffee he usually had and this one. He noticed the tinge of redness on the surface. He took the first sip and nodded his head. It was one of the best coffees he ever had.

"This is one of the best coffees I ever had," He was not stingy with the compliment. It was just that good, "Can I buy the coffee bean?"

"Of course, you can. It's a specialty of my world, but it's not that rare. Just ctoon the last day of the trial." The man in the apron smiled, "Enjoy your meal. There's no need to worry. No one will disturb your meal from now on."

"Of course, you can. It's a specialty of my world, but it's not that rare. Just ctoon the last day of the trial." The man in the apron smiled, "Enjoy your meal. There's no need to worry. No one will disturb your meal from now on."

He finished his meal with satisfaction. It was not on the slevel as Elin's level, but it was not that far. The meal was satisfying and topped with good coffee. That was enough to forget his bad mood. He carefully contemplated joining the tournament.

"Nah. This tournament sounds fishy," He muttered in a low voice, shaking his head. The Divine Dragon Bloodline was tempting, but again, it was not guaranteed that he would get first place too. While he was not afraid to fight anyone here, he had to assthere were always people stronger than him.

'But thanks to the tournament. Now I know what I should do for the last two days.'

After a hearty breakfast, he went out to the alchemist district. As he thought, nothing changed. Outside it was still as bright as the afternoon with clouds. It was as if the sky was artificial. There was no sun, and he could not identify the source of the light.

Tang Shaoyang shook his head and headed to the alchemist district. He did not know anyone, and he did not have a recommendation for the alchemy shop. He just picked an alchemy shop with a medium number of visitors.

The alchemy shop did not put their recipe for sale, but they were willing to sell their recipe. However, just as he predicted, the Alchemy only sold their recipe for materials. Sof them required the body parts of Calamity, as well as rare herbs in this world. Buying the recipe might be harder than buying the blueprint for equipment.

He did not give up and visited another four shops. All of them had the srequirements. Sof them even asked for GC plus materials. Of course, he was not without a harvest. Sof the shops were willing to sell their recipe. He got an advanced healing potion, antidote, and regeneration. The most common recipe.

After that, he went to the Arena. While he did not want to participate in the tournament, he cto watch. That was the only way to entertain himself, at least, for two days. Thankfully, he still had his Spirit Eyes ability, so he easily navigated through the city and found his way to the Arena district. Compared to yesterday, the Arena district was crowded with a stream of people.

The thing he noticed was that the city had more people than yesterday as well. That might be the reason why the number of participants was increased to two thousand. The most crowded arena was Arena Number One up to Arena Number Five.

Tang Shaoyang disliked the crowd and chose to cto the tenth Arena with the fewest visitors. At the entrance of the arena, he met a familiar face. It was Ira, the Admin Assistant he met on his first day in the city.

Ira also found Tang Shaoyang, and she looked excited for a moment. Her eyes brightened as a smile formed on her lips. She waved her hand at him, "You come. Are you going to participate in the tournament?"

Ira was not alone. She sat behind the table with her friend, or maybe co-worker.

"No." Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "I cto watch. Do I have to pay to watch?"

Ira clicked her tongue, "Aren't you interested in the prize? It's the Divine Dragon Bloodline," She tried to persuade Tang Shaoyang, "Unless you have one that is superior to the Divine Dragon…"

Tang Shaoyang ignored her and entered the arena without answering her. She still tried to find something about him. That was still suspicious even though they had cleared it before. Ira and her friend did not stop him.

The seats in the arena were half-full even though this was the arena with the least visitors from outside. There was a referee and four security members inside the arena. A match has already started.

He picked the highest and furthest seat where he could be alone. It looked like the tournament used the Arena's rule. It was a physical fight with no skill. Watching the match, reminded him of the past. Back before the game, he fought like the two inside the arena with minus a weapon and armor.

Even though there was no skill involved, it was still an intense fight. It was quite entertaining despite the lack of skill usage. After three matches, he noticed the participant saved the skill for a surprise, catching their opponent off guard. Using a skill without activating the skill.

He did not know the rules, but a strike with a killing intention was not prohibited. In that third match, one of the participants died, failing to react to the skill.
