You Think You Deserve Good Luck?
It seemed that he noticed the change in Roger's eyes.
The big man said happily:
"Don't underestimate Alice!"
"She is truly a magical being!"
"Did you see those things hanging on the wall next to the notice board? Look, look, look..."
Roger followed his instructions and looked over.
But see the dirt wall near the notice board.
There are 5 pieces of equipment hanging quite unexpectedly——
They are knives, swords, gloves, belts and crosses.
The equipment varies greatly in size and is clearly from different professions.
"These are left by the champions of previous arm wrestling competitions!"
The big man explained with familiarity, "Minotaur Tavern's arm wrestling competition has been held for a total of six times.
Every champion has good luck and received various benefits because of Alice.
To express your gratitude.
They all chose to hang one of their equipment here...
Look, there are their signatures next to it.
This is actually a warning to some people who are not discerning.
at Mist Mountain Town.
The person you shouldn't mess with the most is not the lord or the like, but Alice! If someone is disrespectful to her.
Haha.
Those champions will make the offender suffer! "
The big man said happily, and even waved to Alice who was passing by.
It's a pity that Alice ignored him at all.
She just walked gracefully around the notice board and then returned to the shack in the backyard of the tavern.
Someone next to me sneered a few times.
Roger noticed——
The one who laughed was a young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He seemed to want to say something, but he was forced into the tavern by a middle-aged man who was traveling with him.
"Humph, ignorant foreigner."
The big man looked at the group of Adventurers dressed as mercenaries with disgust, and then said to Roger, "Don't mind, I didn't mention you."
Roger quite likes his straightforward character.
He asked curiously:
"There are 6 champions in total, why do you only have 5 pieces of equipment?"
The big man scratched his head and puffed up his chest proudly:
"The one who left nothing behind is the champion of the 5th session, that is, me - oh, by the way, you can call me Thompson."
"I didn't leave anything behind, but I did. I will personally protect Alice. Only in this way can I express my gratitude."
This rhetoric...
Roger sounds like a scam.
But with his perception.
Unexpectedly, no flaws were discovered.
So he whispered:
"Can you please tell me why you are so grateful to Alice?"
The big man glanced at Roger.
There seemed to be some hesitation.
"Insight: You noticed that 'Thompson' was very hesitant."
"This topic is a bit sensitive."
Roger thought.
At that moment, he was ready to round up the topic.
Who knows the next second.
Thompson's hesitation disappeared, he waved his hand and said boldly:
"This kind of thing should not be told to others.
But don't know why.
As soon as I saw you, I felt very friendly, as if I had seen you there...
Walk around.
Let's have a drink together.
Let me tell you about the amazing thing that happened to me. "
Roger was stunned for a moment.
This rhetoric...
It sounds like a wine tray.
He couldn't help but glance at the data column.
"Tip: 'Quinan Star's Blessing' is taking effect..."
See here.
Roger suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, in a sense.
Quinan Star's Blessing is also a good thing.
certainly.
Who would think that he has too much good luck?
At that moment, Roger had a warm smile on his face.
The two walked into the tavern arm-in-arm as if they were brothers they hadn't seen for many years.
The layout of "Minotaur Tavern" is different from other places.
The hall is large in size, has a clear view, wide aisles, and fresh air, without the stench of a general tavern.
The tavern owner is a tauren with a simple and honest face.
When the two entered the door.
He was holding a pot of grass and eating it as a snack. When he saw them, he immediately put down the pot and warmly welcomed the guests.
corner.
There was a burst of sharp yelling, and there seemed to be some conflict.
The tauren boss rushed over immediately.
Soon.
The yelling and cursing stopped.
Thompson skillfully found a booth and ordered two more cups of the large and cheap "Fire Dragon Wine".
Two mouthfuls of light red liquid were swallowed.
He kept talking:
"Before I met Alice, I was just a poor and crazy young man.
My family lives in a small village south of Mist Mountain Town.
That year, my father suddenly fell ill and died, and the family had no money left.
So I had no choice but to work in the lumberyard of the 'Jackal' family.
It makes me angry.
At that time, I was obviously very strong and could do the work of two or three people every day.
But the housekeeper at the Jackal Family insisted that I was too young and was only willing to pay half of my wages!
One time I got so angry that I beat him up.
Then I ran to Mist Mountain Town.
I was in poverty for a while at Mist Mountain Town, and then I participated in the arm wrestling competition in a daze. Who knew I would win the championship? When Allen put the prize money into my hand, I was dizzy, and then I was pushed into the pig pen by a group of people...
Tell the truth.
At that time I kind of wanted to run——
How can a man sleep with a pig? But I was drunk too much by Allen and fell asleep as soon as I entered the pig pen.
Early the next morning, I took the winnings and ran away.
That's it.
I ran all the way to "Donny River" and before I could even take a few breaths, I found a shining golden treasure chest on the river beach! The money in the treasure chest made me a small fortune.
I used the money to settle my family and returned to Mist Mountain Town by myself.
When I came back, Allen told me that someone was looking for me.
That's an old man.
He told me——
He was my father's comrade-in-arms. They had lived and died together, but they severed their relationship due to a conflict many years ago.
At that time, he was running out of time and had no children, so he asked me if I wanted to inherit his family property.
that's all.
I became the lord of Mist Mountain Town..."
Hear this.
Roger almost spit out a mouthful of water.
Tell the truth.
This story is ridiculous, but the feedback on the data column is unacceptable to Roger! Sixth Sense told him.
Everything Thompson said is true! Roger couldn't help but become more curious about Alice.
In the deck.
"So, everything I have today was given to me by Alice!"
Finish this sentence.
Thompson drank the last half cup with a satisfied look on his face.
Roger followed the topic and chatted with him for a while.
After a while.
Thompson was called away by a guard. Judging from the respectful attitude of the guard, this guy might really be the lord of Mist Mountain Town!
"It is quite rare to find such an approachable lord."
Roger thought quietly.
He sat and observed for a while.
There are not many customers at noon.
The more conspicuous one is the corner where the conflict just occurred.
They were a group of mercenaries of unknown origin.
Look.
Like Roger, they are also new.
"The equipment is very old, but some of it is military weapons..."
"This Mist Mountain Town water is quite deep."
Roger It's a bit of a pity.
If that guard comes later.
He can extract more information from Thompson.
Fortunately, he quickly re-scheduled the candidates for inquiry.
The next second.
He stood up, left the booth, and came to the bar. The tauren boss immediately put down the grass pot in his hand.
"What do you want?"
The tauren showed an honest smile.
He is Allen, the owner of this tavern, and also the owner of Alice.
In the perception of Roger.
Allen is just a level 20 tauren warrior.
But the truth is definitely not that simple.
To have a magical pet like Alice, this Allen must be special! ...
At that moment, Roger said seriously, "Where can I get information about nearby monsters?"
Allen pointed at himself skillfully:
"I can do it right here."
"Are you Adventurers who takes the bounty route? What kind of monster information do you want?"
"All."
Roger said decisively.
Allen looked at him seriously. "That will be very expensive, and it is not worth it compared with the bounty."
"I am not an ordinary Adventurers, but an expert in monster research. I make a living by studying the characteristics of various monsters. You know, the mages who stay at home in the tower are very interested in these."
Roger gave a carefully prepared excuse.
Allen scratched his head:
"Actually, I don't understand."
"But this doesn't stop me from selling information..."
Said.
He turned around and pulled out a stack of papyrus from the secret compartment under the stool.
After Roger happily paid the fee.
Allen laid them out one by one on the bar and introduced, ""Lightning Frog", there are so many of them, but they are too fast, no one can catch them..."
""Bipedal Flying Dragon" appears in the backing area. It is very dangerous. It is not recommended to hunt alone."
""Thunderbolt Gryphon" is also on the other side of the mountain, which is more dangerous. Hunting is not recommended."
""Evil Ghost Raven", well, this is the key point!
Mirror Lake There are a lot of Evil Ghost Raven in that area.
This kind of monster could never have become a climate.
But recently there are signs that evil spirits have evolved.
Not only can they possess crows, but they can even attach themselves to cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs... I personally suggest that you don't go to Mirror Lake. "
He rambled on and explained all the dozen or so monsters nearby.
Roger put away the papyrus and said thank you.
The end.
He asked in a low voice, "Is there a way into the mountain?"
The tauren was stunned for a moment.
Then he smiled naively and said, "That's not content you can buy for a fee."
"But if you can win tonight's arm wrestling contest, I'll give you some clues."
This guy really has clues to Drovas!
Roger was already full of curiosity about Alice, so he said, "Then let me sign up."
Allen suddenly showed a professional smile:
"The registration fee is 600 Copper Coin. Please pay it."
"Thank you for your patronage."
In that moment.
Roger felt like he had been cheated again, but he still decided to trust his own perception!
And when he paid.
The sneers of the mercenaries came from the corner of the tavern again.
Roger glanced at them.
He left without saying a word.
Night falls.
Minotaur Tavern is bustling with activity.
Compared to daytime.
The number of people in the hall has not only increased tenfold! Onlookers crowded from the lobby to the door.
Roger came a little late.
If you find out, you can only go through the back door.
He was instinctively disgusted by the crowds in the bar.
Fortunately, the chaos did not last long.
Allen came out and said a few words, and the central rows of booths were cleared and used as a venue for the competition.
That's it.
Minotaur Tavern The 7th Arm Wrestling Competition kicked off with excitement! ...
There are 29 contestants tonight.
The competition is divided into two rounds: preliminary round and final round.
The preliminary round method is very down-to-earth 'table grabbing'.
That is, contestants randomly select opponents from each other and fight against each other on eight tables. The loser is directly eliminated.
The winner gets to rest on the table for 3 minutes.
Then wait for others to challenge you.
in this mode.
Most people can be eliminated quickly.
The people who are still sitting at 8 tables at the end are the top eight.
Starting from the quarterfinals is the final stage.
The rules are to draw lots and fight to determine the champion.
This process may not necessarily be fair.
But the atmosphere is spot on.
in the hall.
Shouts, cheers, cheers, curses...
This burst of sound came.
It's easy to give up thinking and only think about brute force.
Roger looks inconspicuous among a group of macho men.
But listen to Allen's order.
Immediately a group of people went to clear the table.
They don't care about tactics either.
The people at the same table looked at each other and started to fuck! ...
"Grass!"
"You're a fucking foul!"
"Let's do it again, it was just a warm-up..."
Similar sounds came and went.
Roger observed patiently for a while.
I found that the people who took the initiative to rush forward were all locals. Their temperament was relatively straightforward. The emphasis in participating in the competition was to have fun and not have so many crooked ideas.
And those who did not take action like him were mostly outsiders Adventurers.
They may not believe in the magic of Alice at all.
But they were very interested in the championship prize money, so everyone wisely chose to save their energy.
They want to wait until the end before taking action - there is always a weaker one among the eight tables, and they can easily enter the finals, so why bother to work hard?
Roger originally thought so, but after observing it for a while, he changed his mind.
After a while.
Roger randomly chose a free table and sat on it.
"As promised beforehand, don't blame me if your bones are broken."
The big man opposite said in a rough voice.
Roger didn't speak, just stretched out his hand.
The next second.
The two hands were clasped together.
Snap! Under the incredible gaze of the big man, his hand was suddenly pressed on the table. No matter how hard he tried, it would not move at all!
"You didn't count 123!"
The big man angrily said:
"This is a sneak attack!"
Roger smiled, "Admit defeat."
His right hand gained half more strength.
The big man's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and he jumped up as if someone had stepped on his foot. "It hurts, it hurts... I give up!"
Roger slowly let go of his hand.
The big man cursed and left, but a few seconds later, a guy dressed as a mercenary sat up.
"Want to rest?"
Allen came over and asked with a smile.
"No need."
Roger stretched out his hand towards the mercenary.
The mercenary grabbed Roger's hand and said in a low voice, "Don't even think about making a sneak attack. Wait until I count to 12..."
The word 3 has not yet been spoken.
His hand was already pressed on the table! "You fucking foul!"
The mercenary yelled angrily.
Roger blinked. "I didn't commit a foul, because there are no rules in the preliminary round."
"You lost."
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
The mercenary cursed and looked at Allen next to him:
"Did he commit a foul?!"
Allen smiled naively, "Welcome to Minotaur Tavern."
"Go have a drink, I'll treat you."
The mercenary was stunned for a moment.
Then he left angrily.
that's all.
In chaos.
Roger relied on some insights from observation and relied on sneak attacks to successfully kill challengers one after another.
Finally entered the quarterfinals steadily.
He knows it very well.
This kind of tavern competition in the countryside is not so particular.
Anyone who has the mentality of 'I must defeat everyone in an honest way'.
You will definitely be taught how to behave.
Therefore, the top eight players are all ruthless characters like Roger.
For example, the scar face at the next table——
Roger I saw him crazily stepping on his opponent's toes during the game more than once! Final round.
Scarface met an evenly matched opponent - so he kicked the opponent in the crotch, knocking him unconscious.
In the chaos, no one cares anyway.
In this way, he entered the quarterfinals with great satisfaction.
Others are not so extreme, but they have their own methods——
Some spit directly in the opponent's face;
Some ask the prostitute to put her breasts on the other person's face to distract him; some threaten him with a knife if he can't compete;
Because of this, several fights broke out during the preliminary round, which everyone was accustomed to.
Just wait until they finish playing and continue the competition.
Anyway.
In this "friendly and harmonious" atmosphere, the game successfully entered the semi-finals.
Because the rematch is conducted in pairs.
So everyone will be more restrained.
After all, there are so many pairs of eyes watching.
Taking it too far can also be troublesome.
So Roger watched helplessly as his opponent, a mercenary in his prime, put on a set of extraordinary equipment that seemed to increase his strength!
on the data column.
"Insight: You realize that with the economic level of 'Tony', you cannot afford this set of extraordinary equipment."
"Sixth Sense: You realize that 'Tony' spent all his savings renting this equipment."
"Come on boy!"
"Let's fight fair!"
The soldier named Tony urged impatiently.
Roger smiled.
He took out "Brute Force Bracers" with his backhand and put it on.
With his 21-point power, it should be easy to win the championship.
But it took me a long time to look at it.
There is clearly a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in this Minotaur Tavern.
Tony This kind of thing can be considered very martial ethics!
In the preparation stage.
Roger observed that one of the two people at the table next to him used a transformation technique to turn into a bear! And the other one is even more exaggerated.
He didn't know where he got a mechanical arm and armed it on his right hand!
Both of them were stunned when they were ready.
They couldn't help but look at each other.
Then they both started accusing the other of cheating.
The audience also divided into two groups.
Accusations and yelling began.
See this scene.
Roger I really don't know how Thompson won the 5th championship! This is not some kind of arm wrestling match in a small town tavern.
He looked around at the tables.
The people sitting here are all gods!
certainly.
There are also superior and inferior gods.
In an environment full of swear words, the rounds of fights between gods finally came to an end.
The competition has reached its climax! The finals reached the final round, and one of the contestants was the one using an armed robotic arm.
The other one is Roger.
Along the way, he encountered some difficult enemies; but under the double suppression of Extraordinary Perception and Extraordinary Strength, the enemy's dirty tricks were ineffective against him, but his dirty tricks made great achievements repeatedly.
In fact, Roger didn't do anything.
We are all men.
The key is too easy to find.
This trick has been tried and tested, but it also attracted a lot of hateful looks for Roger - those who were eliminated by him felt it was very unfair.
Roger noticed.
Several people ran over and whispered to his opponent.
So before the finals started.
The man with the robotic arm disappeared for a while.
when he appears again.
Roger noticed that his steps seemed a little stiff.
"Insight: You noticed that 'Cybernan' is equipped with some kind of crotch protector"
"It's very thin."
"This has been prepared for a long time."
Roger looked with interest at Cybernan who was facing a formidable enemy.
"I won't show mercy."
Cybernan said fiercely:
"Boy, I heard about your dirty tricks. If you don't admit defeat, I will use this arm to pull you to pieces, then beat you severely and throw you into the ditch in the backyard!"
"What I hate the most in my life is cheaters like you!"
"Hmph! Do you also have good luck with mating?"
Say it.
He vigorously showed off his mechanical arm.
Roger didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand.
The next second.
Under the expectant eyes of everyone.
The fleshy palm of Roger and the mechanical hand of Cybernan are held together.
The two of them exerted force almost at the same time.
Click, click, click!
The noisy mechanical sound sounded, and the crackling sound of Primal Stone almost drowned out the cheers of the audience!
The two sides fought each other.
Cybernan felt that he had the upper hand!
So he decided to win the game in one go! But the next second.
Roger's right hand dimension suddenly increased dramatically! ...
"Hint: You activated 'Qilin Arm'"
In everyone's surprised eyes.
Roger's right hand, which had tripled in size, pressed the robotic arm onto the table with ease! Sizzle! There were even bursts of black smoke rising from Cybernan's shoulders!
"No! You cheated!"
Cybernan shouted with a red face and a thick neck.
He threw Qilin Arm away and rushed towards Roger.
Roger easily dodged half of his body.
Just when he was about to subdue this guy, a strange throbbing surged into his heart! ...
"Tip: Your 'Qilin Arm' is out of control..."
The next moment.
Under the horrified gaze of the audience.
Roger's big hand pressed hard on Cybernan's butt!
"Cross it!"
The sounds of metal breaking and bones shattering came together!
The next second.
The hysterical wails of Cybernan and the gasps of the audience came from the tavern.
"Let go!"
Cybernan was sweating profusely and groaned. "I give up..."
The words have not yet finished.
The big hand grabbed it hard again.
Blood spurted out.
Those with sharp eyes can see that Cybernan's butt seems to be half split! For a while.
Minotaur Tavern becomes more chaotic!
"Using Qilin Arm to tear an enemy's buttocks apart in full public view, your Countryside Legend (Mist Mountain Town) set a new milestone."
"Countryside Legend (Mist Mountain Town):
You became famous for winning the Minotaur Tavern Seventh Arm Wrestling Competition.
But what really made you famous was your ruthless tactics.
In Mist Mountain Town and surrounding areas.
The name 'Butt-Ripper Roger' is being widely circulated."
"Why do you need to sign up with your real name?"
In the pigsty late at night.
Roger seriously reflected on his mistake.
Perhaps it was Thompson's warmth and kindness that made him feel like he was back at Tongma Town.
When registering, he actually filled in his real name.
It's better now.
Fame came so suddenly, catching him off guard.
"Fortunately, this is Kuinan..."
Roger was frightened for a while.
At this time.
Alice walked over gracefully and rubbed his head.
Roger's mood immediately calmed down.
After getting the championship bonus.
He was led by Allen to the pig pen in the backyard.
Said it was a pigsty.
It was cleaned as clean as a guest room.
Alice doesn't have the messiness of a pig. She is a bit like the pet piglet from her previous life, cute yet elegant.
Don't know why.
After being rubbed twice by Alice.
Roger's mood suddenly improved.
He glanced at the data column.
There were no abnormal reactions.
So he boldly leaned on Alice.
Then from time to time some tentative measures were taken.
He wanted to find out what was going on with the little sow's lucky halo.
From beginning to end.
Alice behaved very docilely.
Roger only moans when it hurts her.
But until daybreak.
Roger didn't even discover the secret of the "lucky halo".
He was somewhat unwilling to try with Alice for a while longer.
But soon he was kicked out by Allen.
"It's time!"
The tauren still had that honest face. "You will definitely have good luck today!"
"You'll know if you go out more often."
Roger left the pig pen with doubts.
While having breakfast in the tavern hall.
Roger met the group of mercenaries from yesterday again. This time, the young man did not laugh. Maybe it was because "Butt Splitter Hand" had been declared out.
But there was something strange about their eyes after all.
Roger doesn't care either.
After a hasty meal.
He left the tavern.
Today his targets are mainly the monsters around the town.
"Let's start with Lightning Frog from Flooding Disaster!"
Roger thought so.
So he headed east out of the town.
He walked for a while on a country road.
After a while.
A crow came towards me. It stopped on a nearby branch and made an unpleasant cry at Roger.
"He also said it would bring good luck..."
Roger complained in his heart.
He strode toward the farm to the east.
The crow immediately flapped its wings and flew away.
After a while.
When he stopped and looked at the road sign.
The crow appeared again.
It stopped on a nearby branch and screamed strangely at Roger.
"It's so unlucky..."
Roger frowned.
In his perception, this crow is not even a monster, so it has no hunting value.
"It's probably not a scouting pet, just a simple crow..."
Think so.
Roger still let it go.
After choosing the direction.
He moved on.
But at this time.
Suddenly a dark wind blew behind him - Extraordinary Perception told him that the crow actually attacked him!
That moment.
Roger realized something was wrong!
Normal animals will not attack humans!
The next second.
He turned around and tried to hit Sin Mark.
"Tip: Sin Mark has been bound to 'Evil Ghost Raven'"
"Such a high disguise value?"
Roger was shocked.
It's too late, it's fast.
The crow had already pounced in front of him, but how fast was Roger's nerve reaction?
But I saw his right hand raised slightly.
The bulging air waves slashed through like a sharp blade!
"Martial Arts: Taiyi Separating Fire Blade"! Wow! The flame knife wiped it mercilessly.
Only a black, charred corpse was left on the ground.
Roger raised his eyes and looked at the data column.
The next moment.
His expression suddenly became very exciting!
