"Sir, this is your bounty."
The staff member walked up to Benjamin, even his name and tone changed. With a smile on his face, he handed over a thick money bag in a low voice.
Benjamin maintained his aloof attitude, accepted the bounty, and said, "Arrange the next one for me."
However, the staff member shook his head and said: "Well... we generally don't let one person play multiple times on the same day, and the audience has no suspense, don't you think so?"
Benjamin frowned.
It’s really troublesome to have such regulations...
Seeing Benjamin's displeased expression, the staff immediately added: "You don't have to worry, the time for 'Seven Days of Hell' has not come yet, you can come back next time."
As he spoke, he took out a new badge and handed it to Benjamin. The badge looked like a yellow swastika with blood spots all over it, very similar to the strange badge he used to enter this place.
"This is a badge that represents your victory. Next time you come back, just hold this badge," he explained.
Benjamin looked at it twice, nodded, and put the badge away.
"Tell me all about 'Seven Days of Hell'." he asked.
Although it was very profitable, before making money, he had to at least understand what the whole activity was about.
Before, others didn't want to explain to him, so he didn't ask. Now that he has won, and won so neatly and beautifully, the staff are all looking so flattering, so of course he has to ask more questions.
"As for this... I only know that it will start in ten days, and there will be many wealthy people participating, and it will not be made public at all to ordinary people." The staff member replied, "However, regarding its dangers, I think you still You have to be mentally prepared.”
Benjamin frowned: "What kind of mental preparation?"
The staff member smiled sheepishly and said: "Well... you should have guessed that a reward of five thousand gold coins will be given. In fact, the biggest reason is that basically no one can get this money alive."
… oh
Benjamin touched the badge in his pocket, and when he heard these words, he let out a light hum without joy or anger.
five minutes later.
In the underground square, the craze caused by the cloaked weirdo began to fade away. So, after some changes, Benjamin quietly left the lounge without anyone noticing.
Will was still waiting for him in the crowd. He walked over and patted Will on the shoulder. Afterwards, the two left here together.
He can only appear once a day, and he has asked everything he can. There is nothing he can do if he stays here.
After leaving the dedicated passage, the two returned to the night streets. Benjamin gave Will another bottle of magic potion as a reward, and Will left in a hurry.
As for Benjamin himself, he returned home quietly.
Overall, the harvest was pretty good. I explored the unknown side of Riley City and found a way to earn the three thousand gold coins. Although the staff made the "Seven Days of Hell" seem very powerful, in Benjamin's view, it was actually just a way for these people to make money and launder money.
He won't feel scared just because of someone else's casual words.
In the next few days, he stayed at home during the day and concentrated on meditation. When he had time, he would help Wallis with the preparations for the exhibition. At night, he transforms into a cloaked weirdo and goes to the underground world of Riley City to engage in black boxing.
In order not to attract too much attention, he did not go for three days in a row. Once it was a day apart, and once it was two days apart, every battle was crushing. He became more and more proficient in the water vapor battle mode, thinking of it as preparing for the mysterious "Seven Days of Hell".
In the end, he got the red swastika badge that represented three wins, and there were no accidents in the process.
"You have been qualified to participate." The staff looked at Benjamin and said, "But I still want to confirm in advance, do you really want to participate in 'Seven Days of Hell'?"
Benjamin nodded without hesitation.
So, he took Benjamin to the other end of the underground square, into a room that looked a bit like an office.
"This is it. Sir Derek will explain the next thing clearly to you."
After saying that, the staff turned around and left.
Benjamin also turned his head and looked at a middle-aged mercenary who was sitting lazily on a chair with his feet on the table. He threw the badge on the other person's table.
"I want to participate in 'Seven Days of Hell.'" He said indifferently.
The mercenary glanced at him and said impatiently: "Why are you in such a hurry? There are still several days to start, are you rushing to hell?"
Benjamin asked: "Then when can I get the money?"
"In the beginning." The mercenary spread his hands and explained casually, "Don't think too much. If we give you money now and you turn around and run away, where will we cry?"
When Benjamin heard this, he could only nod his head without objecting.
This kind of thing is normal. It's just that the preliminary preparations for the exhibition have been carried out, orders for many things have been placed, and the money is being spent like water. They can still hold on now, but for him, the sooner he can get the money, the better.
"How should I participate in this event?" he asked.
"There is Tori Town in the north of Riley City. You should also know about it." The mercenary put his legs down from the table, accepted the badge, and handed Benjamin a strange card. "Four days later, you take this card , just go to the tavern in Tori Town and find the owner there."
It was a black and red card with a strange material. Benjamin played with it for a while and then put it in his pocket.
He was not surprised that "Seven Days of Hell" was not held in Riley City. Judging from their appearance, it is a big event after all. It is easier to attract others' attention if it is done in Riley City, so it is more convenient to go out on location.
"Are you still unwilling to disclose anything about the entire process?" he then asked.
Hearing this, the mercenary turned the pen in his hand, suddenly showed a ferocious smile, and said: "You will know after you go."
Seeing this, Benjamin shrugged, didn't bother to pay attention to the other party, turned around, and left.
Even if the other party didn't say anything, he still knew the location of the event. There were still a few days before he could investigate the town and prepare for this seemingly scary thing.
Early the next morning, he went to Tori Town. However, he didn't find anything noteworthy. This is an ordinary town with simple folk customs. There are no magical beasts nearby, so there are very few traces of mercenaries.
The investigation yielded no results, and Benjamin could only wait patiently here.
-With so little time left, he couldn't do much.
Finally, on the fourth day, he came to the tavern in the town. Looking at the boss whom he had been observing for a long time but found nothing wrong at all, he walked over and handed over the card.
"Hello, I'm here to participate in the 'Seven Days of Hell'." He said slowly in a voice that only the other party could hear.
