Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 206 Dog Fighting
"Well, Old Liu, do you know about dog fighting?" Zhang Cheng remembered that Old Liu seemed to have said such things before.

"Why, want to fight dogs?" Old Liu said with a smile. "I'm familiar with this, I'm a regular customer!"

"If I want to see it, how do I get there?"

"How to get there, brother, I'll just take you there!" Lao Liu said. "Don't go too far, the one that's near! There's a match tomorrow morning on the outskirts of the city."

Zhang Cheng thought about it for a while, and felt that it didn't matter if he missed a lesson in riding skills, so he agreed without hesitation.

At nine o'clock the next morning, Lao Liu drove Zhang Cheng all the way to the outskirts of the city.

By the way, Zhang Cheng also stayed in Dongzhou for a long time, and this was the first time he came to the countryside on the ground.No need for other evidence, just the villas of the villagers have fully demonstrated that the country's "rural revitalization" strategy has taken root and thrived here.

Entering the village, the parking fee is 20 yuan - the parking fee is charged by a gray-haired but energetic old man. Although the price is more expensive than the parking price in the city, who told me this is someone else's site.The ticket price is not cheap, 80 yuan per person.This ticket is shoddy, just an entry and exit voucher, without even a seat number on it.

About 200 meters away from the parking lot, there is an open field that should have been a threshing floor.But now the threshing floor has been surrounded by a high and strong iron fence.Someone surrounded the outside with several layers of wooden steps.But the audience is more willing to stand there and stick to the railing to watch.Of course, if you really can't squeeze in in front and don't have a good position, then sitting on the steps is also a good choice.

The game has not yet started, but enthusiastic spectators have already surrounded the fence.Lao Liu took Zhang Cheng and sat down on the top of the steps. In fact, the view from this position is also very good, and he can even see the whole audience clearly.

"This is a simple venue." Lao Liu introduced, "There are no special tricks, and it is most suitable for beginners. There should be three sessions today."

"Is this divided between novices and veterans?" Zhang Cheng asked. "This dog fighting competition should be... illegal?"

"A legal gray area," Lao Liu replied. "It is impossible for the law to prohibit dogs and dog fights, and the law at most prohibits gambling." He said with a smile. "People don't raise officials and don't investigate. Many people like this tune now. Two years ago, this place was still a bullring."

"There is still a bullfight here in Dongzhou?" Zhang Cheng had to admit that he was really an otaku who didn't know anything.Hey, all the leisure and entertainment time is spent on stand-alone games.

"Two years ago... the bullfight here in Dongzhou was not a fight between a man and a bull, but a fight between a bull and a bull. But these days, there are too few cows, and everyone uses tractors. Besides, the price of cows is expensive, and it is difficult to domesticate them, so When it comes to fighting, the bull owners are always trying to keep the cattle a little bit, so as not to seriously injure their own cattle. In this way, it is not as exciting as dog fighting, and this dog fighting is really red and bloody."

"The price is very expensive." Zhang Cheng thought of the tickets just now, 80 yuan per person.In fact, it’s not that he doesn’t have money, but that his ideology hasn’t fundamentally changed from his previous nerd status—even though he went to the United States this time and was scammed by a profiteer named Thomas.

"Brother Zhang Cheng," Lao Liu was a little dissatisfied. "It's also expensive? Do you know about the football match at the Dongzhou City Gymnasium?"

"I know." Zhang Cheng was puzzled. "A few days ago, I happened to see the news, saying that there was going to be a football match over there."

"In that place, 22 white chickens chased a ball for nine or 10 minutes. They couldn't even tell if they were kicking a real ball or a fake one. Then the tickets would cost 300 yuan. You see the life-and-death duel with real knives and real guns Fighting dogs only cost 80 yuan... how expensive is that?"

I really can't tell that this old Liu was once a fan.Although now it has become hate because of love.

Some spectators came in again, the number of spectators in the dog fighting ring should have been in the hundreds, but it should not exceed a thousand.Then, someone on the edge of the venue rang a gong, and the whole noisy venue suddenly calmed down.On one side of the field, a fence gate painted red was opened, and someone led a dog out and walked around the field.

Zhang Cheng didn't know much about dogs, so he couldn't tell what kind of dog it was.But it feels like it should be a mixed breed dog of unknown breed.But no matter what the breed, this dog is definitely a bulldog.

I saw the man leading the dog around the field and returning to the original place.Then on the other side of the field, a fence door painted with blue paint opened, and another dog was led out, went around the field, and went back again.

"What is this?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"The opening foreplay." Old Liu was obviously familiar with this. "Just like a horse race, a fighting dog has to come out for a walk first, so that the audience can take a good look at the dog. There is still 10 minutes of betting time, and the audience can bet on the dog they like. But this place The game is very small, no more than five or ten yuan, and no more than fifty yuan at most. It is not so much a gamble as it is to add atmosphere."

"How does this organizer make money?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"Here in Dongzhou, the organizer always takes one-twentieth of the betting margin, which is 5.00%. The ticket revenue is divided equally between the organizer and the dog owner. Half of the tickets plus a margin, that's about it." Lao Liu Said. "It's not very high. In fact, there is not much difference here in China, it is not formal, and there are few rules. The real ones are foreign countries. I heard that in Central Asia, the betting money in a game can easily exceed one million dollars, and all kinds of rules are different." It is very complete. I heard that there are some small circles of competitions here, which are very similar to those learned abroad. But those circles are strictly forbidden.”

It is said everywhere on the Internet that dog fighting is a barbaric sport and uncivilized.But Zhang Cheng had to admit that although this was a brutal exercise, there was indeed an inexplicable excitement at this moment that made his heart speed up.

"In other words, the bet is between the audience and has nothing to do with the organizer or the dog owner?"

"Of course, otherwise, human nature is greedy. Who knows what tricks the organizers can come up with? Don't talk about this, even the current rules of the world are still tricky!" Old Liu said viciously, obviously not reconciled. "The last time I was trapped by this."

Xiao Huihui in Zhang Cheng's arms opened her mouth and yawned boredly.Obviously it has no interest in these two dogs, and it is completely different from the previous "Weihu".From this point of view, that Tiger is indeed not simple, and it can be considered worthy of a fight by Xiao Huihui.As for the two dogs who are about to end their battle, Xiao Huihui doesn't even have the slightest attention.

"You mean... the dog owner bets off the court?" Zhang Cheng thought about it. "The result of this game is too easy to manipulate."

"It's all the same." Old Liu replied. "Don't those lottery companies in the West often bribe players to play match-fixing? This is the case in football, and it is the same in any other game. What horse racing, boxing, fighting... as long as it involves gambling, it can be faked. But Everyone will still take a gamble. Anyway, it is much harder for a dog to cheat than a human."

This is indeed true.Zhang Cheng began to turn his attention to the field.The time has come and the two dogs have entered.When a dog came out for a walk alone just now, Zhang Cheng didn't feel anything, but now that the two dogs were led by someone and appeared in the field at the same time, the situation is different.There is a difference in the size of the two dogs.One is definitely a large dog and the other is roughly somewhere in between a large and a medium dog.Of course, despite the difference in size, both dogs growl and are full of fighting spirit.

"The bigger dog on the left," Lao Liu obviously had done his homework before coming here, "is called 'General Black Jia', and the smaller dog on the right is called 'Liger', both of which are on the show for the first time. New dogs. This kind of venue mainly allows new dogs to appear on the stage, only the brave fighting dogs are eligible to go to a bigger stage."

While speaking, the dog owner had already untied the chain.The two dogs immediately rushed together and began to bite.Although the liger was small, its movements were more agile, and it took the lead when it came up, biting the head of the black-armored general, probably near the ear.The two dogs writhed, struggled, bit, and entangled with each other, and it was impossible to tell which was stronger and which was weaker.

But Zhang Cheng has seen the battle between Weihu and Golden Retriever before. Although these two dogs may be more brave, you can clearly feel that they are actually fighting with their wildness, no different from that Golden Retriever.

The audience around cheered loudly, cheering for the dog they chose.There are bursts of sound and waves, and the sky is full of enthusiasm.But the so-called insiders look at the doorway, and laymen watch the fun.Obviously, most of the audience around here are just like Zhang Cheng, watching the fun, but there are also a few people watching the doorway.Zhang Cheng noticed several people sitting upright in the distance.At this time, the two bulldogs were fighting in full swing, but these people were smoking and chatting there, obviously not interested at all.

The same is true for Lao Liu around him.Don't look at Lao Liu staring at the fight in the dog fighting arena, but his mood is stable and his body is relaxed. Obviously, this match didn't excite him at all.

The battle on the field was still going on, and after a long time, the liger finally lost its strength and gave General Heijia a chance to break free.Then it was General Heijia's turn to counterattack.General Heijia bit the side of the liger, and his fangs tore it, leaving a big gash on the liger.Both dogs were hanged and their fur was stained with blood.

No joke, two dogs are equal.Zhang Cheng made a judgment in his heart.In the end, it should be General Heijia who slowly grinds his opponent to death with greater strength.The so-called physical strength does not lose.General Heijia is big and powerful.

"General Hei Jia is going to win." Old Liu said.

"Yes." Zhang Cheng replied.The battle was still going on, and everything was as expected. The fighting skills of the two dogs were on the same level, and the larger and stronger general in black armor gradually gained the upper hand.In the end, the liger was crushed to the ground, unable to struggle.The winner and the loser have been divided, and several experienced staff, together with the dog owner, separated the two dogs with tools.This is not difficult, because the victorious Heijia general is also exhausted.Later, General Heijia, who had calmed down, was taken to the center of the arena, where he and the owner of the dog were cheered by the audience, while the failed ligers were unceremoniously dragged off the arena.

However, in Zhang Cheng's view, the ligers were not seriously injured, but were just exhausted.

The winner exits and the new dog comes out a few minutes later.Zhang Cheng noticed that the dog that came out was a medium-sized dog with yellow fur, and most importantly, it did not have the ferocious temperament of a bulldog.He couldn't help but ask Lao Liu.

"Ah, it's a defective product from a dog farm." Old Liu said. "This game also has a climax and a cutscene. The second game is usually a cutscene. As you can tell from the name, the first game is the black armor general vs. ligers, and the second game is 'Little Lion' vs. 'Three Yellows'. This is It should only be three yellows. The second match is basically unqualified fighting dogs. Should be bitten to death."

"What if it refuses to fight?"

"How do you refuse? Once the fence around the game is closed, where can you go?"

"Is this kind of competition interesting?" Zhang Cheng felt that it was a massacre.

"Of course, some people just like to watch this kind of scene. And it's not just that, you know, human beings naturally worship the strong and despise cowards. If Sanhuang is brave and fights to the death, it has a chance to survive, even if it is injured Get treatment. A brave dog, even if its strength is weak, is at least qualified as a guard dog, or can be used as a hunting dog. On the contrary, if it cannot fight bravely, it will surely die. If it is not bitten to death, it will become fragrant meat Hot pot. That kind of dog farm doesn’t raise trash.” Lao Liu sentenced Sanhuang to death, because Zhang Cheng felt that Sanhuang didn’t look like a brave dog no matter what.

It must be explained that after San Huang came out, everyone knew that the second contest was a cutscene, so they all dispersed and took their seats on the steps.Those who go to the toilet go to the toilet, those who drink water drink water, and plan to watch the game with a more casual attitude.

The lion cub appeared, a Tibetan mastiff that looked very ferocious, with a lion-like shape and a thick mane.

"This one is probably because the dog owner is bored," Lao Liu analyzed. "There are often people who feel that their dog lacks wildness, so they want to find a prey to temper it. This dog owner probably not only gets paid, but also pays."

Zhang Cheng used the planeswalker's spiritual link to ask Xiao Huihui what he thought of "Little Lion".If Xiao Huihui's consciousness is translated into human language, it will probably be a contemptuous "huh".It fully shows that that kind of rookie is not qualified for me to deal with.

"I'll go ahead and have a look." Zhang Cheng said.Taking advantage of the fact that the crowd in front of the fence became thinner, he brought Xiao Huihui to the edge of the fence.

Even the organizers knew this time that it was an entertainment game with no suspense.So there is no complicated process, just let the two dogs enter.

Sanhuang played first.It came out of its position tremblingly, looking at a loss.The crowd booed everywhere, and it saw Xiao Huihui in the distance across the railing in a panic.And Xiao Huihui just stared at it, and Sanhuang was so frightened that his limbs stiffened and he stood there trembling.

"Trash!" "Bite it to death!" Malicious shouts of this kind continued to sound from the audience.Then the little lion came out.

Xiao Huihui is closer to the little lion.Xiao Huihui glared at the little lion, and the little lion stopped immediately, put on a vigilant posture towards this side, and let out a low "whooping" sound.But this posture was useless, instead it angered Xiao Huihui.This time, Xiao Huihui didn't just stare, but directly bared her teeth, and growled at the little lion in a threatening posture.You know, Xiao Huihui's body can get into the fence at any time.

The Tibetan Mastiff's arrogance disappeared in an instant, and it let out a whine.The whole body retreated to the edge of the railing, huddled into a ball, and there was no way to fight again.This situation, immediately attracted a burst of laughter.
