Chapter 22 King of Kings 2
"Cough! Cough... Cough!" It took several seconds before Zhang Cheng recovered. It's okay, the name is just a code name. Not to mention dogs, even people will give a stage name when they debut.
Lao Liu didn't care too much, after all, it was common to choke when drinking water. "Our name is quite fancy. Basically, they like to name dogs such as generals, or beasts such as lions, tigers, and leopards. The provincial capital is very simple, all of which are all storms, lightning, iron teeth, etc. The king of this king is the most awesome one I have ever seen, but last time I saw another dog with a very cool name."
"Oh, what's the name?"
"The dog is named Bian, which is the seventh son of the nine sons of Longsheng. Unfortunately, no matter how good the name is, it is useless. The Bian was killed by another dog named General Majestic when it first appeared. I just don't know what the king would do. But generally speaking, those who give this very awesome name are not particularly strong dogs."
The car drove very quickly, and soon the two of them came to a strange place. The road was very smooth, but the place was very remote. If Zhang Cheng was to describe it, he would say that this place was a small mountain village, and in fact it was the same. The place was relatively empty, with an open-air parking lot, but no one charged. When they arrived, there were at least hundreds of cars in the parking lot.
"This place..." Zhang Cheng looked at the dog fighting field in front of him. "Will it be built here?"
"Are you surprised?" Old Liu smiled. "Dogfighting is a gray industry after all, and it will be too conspicuous if it is in the city. After all, betting here is the big part of income. And there are a group of small animation fans coming to make trouble." He curled his lips, "In fact, he just can't let go."
Cruel abuse is one of the barbaric natures of human beings. This barbaric nature may not be commendable, but it exists."
"You're talking like a philosopher."
"Haha, since that happens, I now love reading these philosophical books of human nature. I know that Nietzsche is not, his works are actually very good."
Because this land is indeed a remote suburb, the dogfighting are quite large. All such venues are divided into two types, one is similar to a boxing ring, with contestants at a high place and spectators at a low place. The other is similar to a gymnasium, with spectators at a high place and contestants at a low place. The pattern of this dogfighting ring is the latter. It can be seen that it is divided into standing tickets and seats. The position at the front of the competition are seats, and seats are all set up. The seats are half full at this time, and the stationfighting ring is densely packed with hundreds of people. The competition are also surrounded by iron railings, and there are two entrances, and the entrances are painted red and blue, which are obviously for players on both sides to appear. At the height of the dogfighting ring, there are lights and horns, but there is no projection screen.
Compared with the place where Zhang Cheng went last time, this place looks much more formal and elegant. Not only that, there is also a rostrum here, with a microphone on the rostrum.
"What is this for?" Zhang Cheng pointed to the rostrum and microphone.
"There is a tour guide." Lao Liu said.
"Dog fighting still need a tour guide?" Zhang Cheng has gained some knowledge.
"It's very important. Only with the tour guide to explain and set the atmosphere can the audience further stimulate the interest of the audience. Only by making you excited can you pay for a gamble. Moreover, this event is big, and people standing in the distance cannot see some details, so they need explanation to understand."
The two of them bought a ticket, and walked to the front to choose a seat to sit down. This position is much closer to the stadium. There are railings between the standing ticket and the seat ticket, and there are security guards standing at the entrance of the railing. I don’t know how big the ticket price difference between the two. In general, compared to the previous dog fighting field, everything here seems formal. The so-called underground industry is not empty talk.
"...Welcome to all the audience," a voice came from the loudspeaker at a high place. Zhang Cheng noticed that a person came to the position of the rostrum microphone. "I am Fang Qiu, the commentator of tonight. You may know the person next to me. He is Ye Yuheng, a veteran of the dog fighting competition... This year's Dongzhou Dog King Competition officially kicked off today..."
"Is this also called the dog king?" Old Liu smiled and teased Zhang Cheng beside him. "Just like the college entrance examination every year, the number one in the province is called the top scorer, the number one in the city is called the top scorer, and the number one in the county is called the top scorer. This dog king is really not worth a lot of value."
"Who is this Ye Yuheng?" Zhang Cheng asked.
"I don't know, I'm either a gambler or a dog trainer anyway." Lao Liu replied.
"... After preliminary selection this year, there are 64 fighting dogs to participate in this year's competition... Let me introduce it. In today's opening match, the first one to play was the 'toothed', the Caucasian Mastiff, weighing 68 kilograms, 3 years old, the top eight winners of the provincial challenge last year were eliminated in the quasi-finals..."
With his voice, a large mastiff was led into the field. This was a big gray-yellow dog. It was really big, bigger than an adult. Just walking around in the field looked majestic and extraordinary. It should be noted that this dog is indeed worthy of its name, with very long teeth and its tips exposed to its lips.
"The Caucasus is tall, has high excitement, strong body, and is particularly brave when fighting." Lao Liu commented. "It should be a dog fighting based on his talent."
"But... there are no scars on this dog..." Zhang Cheng noticed another thing. He has accumulated some experience through surfing the Internet these days. So he knew that the most susceptible thing for fighting dogs to be injured is the face. The dog's face is almost complete. This shows that even in the failed battle, it has not been injured. This proves from the side that this dog is very powerful.
"This should be the credit of its dog owner or its dog trainer." Lao Liu didn't care. "As long as you admit defeat in time during the battle, the staff will separate the two dogs. According to my opinion, if the dog is scored, the top eight in the province should not be completely lucky. And this dog should be stronger this year than last year. I just don't know what kind of dog that king is."
Lao Liu claimed that he was vicious in fighting dogs, so of course he would not come to watch the game without any preparation like Zhang Cheng. However, the information about the king among the kings was blank, proving that this was a new dog. So he had no idea about its breed, weight and other information.
After a few laps, I was taken back with my teeth.
"Then let's take a look at his opponent, 'King of Kings', Teacher Ye, this is the first time I have seen such a domineering name."
"That's right, it's the first time I've seen such a powerful name. I hope this dog owner doesn't name it as he pleases, but is based on reality more or less... We will soon see whether it's the king of kings or ham sausage."
Logically speaking, the staff had already given the dog owner a signal to bring his dog into the venue. But for some reason, the king of kings has not entered the venue for a long time.
"Teacher Ye, do you think the name of this king implies the breed of this dog?"
"I don't think there is any hint of breed. Because no matter what breed, there are strong people and waste. No dog can say that it is invincible. Even the pit bull is the strongest under the same weight. If it is not good at weight, it will be difficult to win... In addition..."
The two of them chatted for a while about the name and variety of Kings. Logically speaking, Kings should have appeared at this time, but for some reason, it did not appear. Several minutes have passed, and even the audience noticed something wrong.
"It seems that there is something wrong with the background." The commentator said, "Please wait. The staff should go and take a look right away."
"This situation is very common," Lao Liu explained in the audience. "Some dogs with unstable personalities will do this when they come to completely unfamiliar environments. The owner can't even pull them on the field. This kind of dog is easily defeated in stage fright, and it seems that the king of the king is just like this."
Lao Liu was actually quite expecting the name "King of Kings", but now it has obviously become disappointed.
"... Fatty Zhuo! Is this the dog you brought?! Where is the Wei Tiger? Where is my Wei Tiger!" Behind the passage entering the venue, Fatty Zhuo had been blocked by the other two and had been hit several times in a row. His eyes were punched into black green.
"Listen to my explanation... This is the king of kings..." Zhuo Wei tried hard to explain, but it was useless. He said that Wei Hu was bitten to death by Xiao Huihui, but no one believed it at all.
"My mother Wang!" The big man was furious. "Are you three-year-old child? This is a puppy, can he play on the court?" He stepped forward and punched Fatty Zhuo's head. But even though he was staggering, Fatty Zhuo always protected the small dog cage.
"I made a bet for Weihu. Now you have found a puppy to make excuse me. Do you think I am a vegetarian? Where is Weihu? Get Weihu for me! If you can't get it, don't think about living today!"
"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang... I have something to say, let me go first and let me enter..."
"I bet on Weihu for 500,000, but now I can't see my dog. What kind of king did you replace it with? How do you solve this problem?"
"Oh, Brother Zhang, please let me go first. I said... it can win! It will definitely win. This is not an ordinary dog! This is the spirit beast guarding the mountain gate by the monks!"
"You boy's level of making up stories has increased..." The man surnamed Zhang wanted to fight again, but saw a few people wearing security clothes coming. These people were obviously from the dog fighting arena. Seeing this scene, he could only retreat a little and watch Fatty Zhuo pull away.
"Look for me, Fatty Zhuo," he shouted. "My 500,000 cannot be lost. If one child is missing, I will peel you!"
"Oh... Everyone has been waiting for a long time, the King of Kings has appeared..." As the commentator spoke, the door to the entrance was opened, and a dusty figure walked into the venue. "Huh, what about the matter? What about the dog? What about the King of Kings?"
He did have reason to question because the entrant did not hold a solid chain as usual, with a dog tied to the chain. In fact, he only had a cage in his hand. But even so, he was still walking in the field, like walking a dog normally.
"Is there something wrong in the backstage? Or is there something unexpected happening in the king's king? Teacher Ye, why don't you wait and I'll ask." The host Fang Qiu ended up in surprise. The audience was very upset about this strange scene.
"It's over, I guess the first game will be won without a fight. There must be something unexpected happening among the kings." Old Liu said to Zhang Cheng whispered. Zhang Cheng just smiled and said nothing.
A short time later, Fang Qiu returned to his position. "Dear viewers, I want to explain to you that the King of Kings has already appeared. You are right. The dog cage in the hand of this dog owner is in the cage!"
Everyone was stunned for three seconds. Three seconds later, I don’t know who was the first to laugh, but the laughter was overwhelming and covered the audience in an instant.
"This is ridiculous," Fang Qiu continued. "Teacher Ye, this looks like a prank. The king of the king is actually a puppy locked in a puppy cage. What do you think? What breed of dog is this? It looks very fat. Does it look like a special famous dog? It doesn't look like it."
"This dog is an ordinary Chinese pastoral dog," said Teacher Ye. "But his appearance is good. If he grows up, he should be a good dog - of course he is just a good dog among Chinese pastoral dogs. If the dog weighs apart, I think it is very excellent. Because a dog of the same size as it should not be able to beat it." His voice was full of irony. This is really ridiculous and ridiculous. The problem is that the owner of the dog is still showing off at this moment, and is still holding up the dog cage in his hand to show the audience his dog.
"But we don't have such rules in this competition. It's really a pity." Fang Qiu was also dissatisfied. This incident made him feel fooled. Not to mention him, in fact, the audience in the audience had this feeling. Everyone spent money to watch a wonderful dogfighting game, not to watch a farce. The whole audience booed and a mineral water was thrown into the field. The next second, more messy things were thrown over, most of them fell on Zhuo Wei. He was beaten to run away with his head in his arms. But even so, he was still circling around the scene. "Scammer!" and "Get out!" shouts like "Check!"
"It seems that our opening match this year has added some entertainment elements. It's good to say that. Well, Teacher Ye, we can come and see the second game today, and the one who played..." His voice paused because he noticed what the dog owner was shouting in the field.
"It's interesting, you may not hear clearly, but the dog owner of the king is asking the competition to start as soon as possible!"
This time it was simply provoking everyone's intelligence. A burst of angry scolding of the audience burst into pieces. More mineral water bottles were thrown in. These bottles of mineral water hit were really not a joke. The dog owner had to escape from the venue.
"Then, our first game was to win without fighting," while speaking, the Caucasian mastiff was led in and squatted in the middle of the field. "It was said that it was not lucky last year, but it seemed that it was lucky this year. It went directly to the top 32."
"I really didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen here." Old Liu muttered in the audience. "What a lunatic who has a lot of money and has nowhere to spend it!"
Dog fighting competitions are not registered out of thin air, but require a large deposit. If you play this farce, the deposit will definitely be deducted.
"Then the next second game is about to play..." When the commentator was speaking, the dog owner who was driven down just now actually ran up again, and this time he opened the dog cage directly. The king of king jumped out of the dog cage.
Chapter completed!
