MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again

So, Xiong Fang’s request for help was actually to lead into what he wanted to say next.

Sure enough, Xiong Fang smiled slightly and said, "Brother Lu, I don’t know what kind of conditions and offers Luo Jiuxiu gave you, but I believe if you follow me, you can certainly gain more. You should know, Luo Jiuxiu is just a branch disciple of the Luo Family, but I am the eldest son of the Xiong Family, destined to inherit the family business, and the funds and resources Luo Jiuxiu can mobilize are actually very limited. Moreover, he can’t even reach the real high-level elite in this society; all he can do is spend a bit of money playing with the trash others discard."

As Xiong Fang spoke, Li Hanwei chimed in just in time, saying, "Brother Lu, I wonder what kind of salary Luo Jiuxiu offered you. Could you tell the two of us here?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Hong didn’t hold back and said, "A base salary of a hundred thousand per month, plus performance rewards for completed tasks, which should amount to about five hundred thousand this month."

Upon hearing that Lu Hong’s monthly salary was five hundred thousand, the girl quietly eating her meal beside him suddenly trembled, and her spoon clinked against the porcelain bowl with a crisp sound.

Lu Hong glanced nonchalantly, laughing coldly inside, as if saying, "What a great act!"

In response to the offer Lu Hong mentioned, Xiong Fang laughed heartily, "Brother Lu, you were once the world champion of the Sky Game, which is held every three years! To this day, you’re still the only world champion in Sky Game. With this identity, only a mere hundred thousand a month? That’s laughable; isn’t Luo Jiuxiu just offering you peanuts? Brother Lu, you might not know much, but I can tell you with certainty, even some moderately skilled streamers earn this amount just by streaming Sky Game monthly. As a world champion, how can you be compared to them? Come to me, and I’ll offer you a million base salary per month. Plus, I’ll triple the performance rewards for tasks. And wasn’t he giving you a car worth a million? I’ll give you a limited edition worth five million. How about it? Bro, just nod, and I can have this transferred right away!"

"Brother Lu, this salary is ten times what Luo Jiuxiu offered you. Just nod, and Young Master Xiong will arrange it for you immediately. How about it?" Li Hanwei supported him on the side.

But Lu Hong’s girlfriend, who couldn’t even eat now, stared wide-eyed at Lu Hong.

But Lu Hong did not hesitate at all and shook his head, saying, "The Luo Family saved my life, I can’t just walk away like that."

Xiong Fang wasn’t angry upon hearing this. After all, if someone switched allegiance once, it just shows their character isn’t so great. No rush, the fact that Lu Hong was willing to meet him this time suggests there will be more opportunities to interact in the future.

"No problem, my offer will always be here and won’t change. Anytime Brother Lu is interested, I can arrange it right away." Xiong Fang said while raising his glass in a toast to Lu Hong: "Come, Brother Lu, consider my previous offer for help; if you agree, I’ll pay you ten million for helping to join the Golden Mercenary Corps. This price is high enough, and you can relay my words to Luo Jiuxiu; if he truly cares for you, he wouldn’t block you from earning this money."

After dinner, Lu Hong was ready to leave with his girlfriend but was stopped by Li Hanwei. Li Hanwei smiled at Lu Hong and said, "Brother Lu, we still have the second half to go, why don’t you let your little girlfriend head back first?"

Lu Hong shook his head upon hearing this, "There’s no need. One meal is costly enough for you two, and besides, I don’t like those riotous places."

Lu Hong’s girlfriend also gathered the courage and said, "Yeah, you can’t take Lu Hong to those shady places."

Noticing they misunderstood, Li Hanwei laughed, "Brother Lu, where do you think we’re going? We’re going to an underground fighting arena that only has events once a month. Trust me, this time you won’t regret going."

Underground fighting arena?

Lu Hong pondered for a moment, having comprehended Fighting Spirit, and it might be possible there are other extraordinary individuals in this world; the underground fighting arena could be a gateway to this hidden world.

So, Lu Hong turned to his girlfriend and said, "You head back to rest first. Their invitation is hard to refuse. I ought to go, can’t let them lose face, right?"

"Then... okay, but come back soon!" The girlfriend reluctantly agreed, and then she was sent off by a car Li Hanwei called for her.

At this moment, Xiong Fang also stepped up and patted Lu Hong on the shoulder, "Brother Lu, tonight I’ll show you a world unlike any other, you’d definitely want it."

"Is that so? Then I’m looking forward to it." Lu Hong replied with a smile.

With smiles and laughs, the three got into a luxury car, driven by a chauffeur towards the outskirts of X City.

After driving for nearly an hour, they arrived at a vast iron arena.

Here stood numerous guards maintaining their posts.

After verifying their identity and tickets at the gate, the guards allowed them to enter.

As the luxury car slowly drove into the arena, a seam began to open gradually in the middle of the arena, revealing a pathway leading deep underground.

The car sped into the tunnel, driving for another ten minutes, making Lu Hong think, "Are we a few hundred meters underground by now?"

Then, the sound of hustle and excitement gradually reached Lu Hong’s ears.

After a sharp turn, the car steadily stopped in a spacious parking lot.

"Let’s go; the match starts in half an hour."

Xiong Fang checked the time and urged everyone, eyes brimming with an unstoppable excitement and fervor.

Getting off the car, Lu Hong followed the three into an elevator, and as the elevator ascended, the doors opened, a fiery and fervent atmosphere greeted them instantly.

The sound of electronic rock music thundered, stirring up everyone’s most primal craze within.

Lu Hong looked around; they were at the top of a massive spectating stand.

In the middle was another enormous ring covered by an iron cage, and around the ring, excited spectators filled the seats.

These people were both old and young, mostly wealthy or noble.

In this heated atmosphere, everyone exuded their most primal urges, and some even engaged in explicit acts, seemingly unbothered by the gazes from others around them.

Various frenzied actions bombarded Lu Hong’s vision.

Lu Hong slightly frowned, "Is it always this open here?"

"Haha, Brother Lu, the real surprise is yet to come!"

As they spoke, a guard rushed over, bowing to Xiong Fang, "Young Master Xiong, please follow me."

Following the guard, the four entered a box with an excellent view, from where the entire arena could be seen through the large glass windows.

Above the ring hung a giant ultra-clear display screen, about two hundred meters up, broadcasting everything happening in the ring for everyone to see clearly.

While Lu Hong was amazed, the guard brought over an assortment of exquisite food and wine, then bowed and said, "The match will begin in twenty minutes, and according to arena regulations, you cannot bring any recording devices, so please hand over your phones and any such devices for safekeeping."

Xiong Fang and Li Hanwei casually handed over their phones to the guard, and Lu Hong also pulled out his phone to hand it over.

"Thank you!" The guard collected the phones and left the box.

Lu Hong then asked, "What kind of match is this that doesn’t allow recording?"

"Oh, if these recordings got out, it would rock the world to its core." Li Hanwei replied.

"Hmm? What you’re saying is making me even more confused." Lu Hong chuckled.

Xiong Fang laughed, handing over a drink, "Don’t worry, it’ll start soon, let’s just wait patiently."

A few minutes later, a host entered the ring and bowed to everyone present, "Friends, it’s been a long time! Remember last month, on this day, we watched those incredibly fierce and hot-blooded fights right here. This time, our fighting arena will bring you an even more intense visual feast! Please take out the buttons beside you and vote for your favorite and most promising fighter! Tonight will be another epic battle!"

As the host’s words fell, the giant screen already displayed the opponents for the first match.
