Chapter 515 Vase Role
Seeded players like Toppa and Potio who can be said to be contenders for the championship rarely have the opportunity to use their full strength in the previous ring challenges. They will more or less hide something. After all, there is no point in using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken.
Only in the knockout rounds of the top eight will the matches be slightly more exciting, especially in this kind of confrontation where there are grudges between the two parties, which often attracts a lot of attention.
Before the game, there were rumors that Potio hated the Interstellar Peace Company so much that during the years he was wanted, he had been carrying out premeditated and improvised attacks and sabotage on the company.
Although the company is large and powerful, those losses are not serious, not even a small loss.
But the company had lost face, and it couldn't just remain indifferent to Poteo's behavior, so his bounty kept getting higher and higher, threatening to catch up with Kafka's bounty by a decimal point.
Outsiders might be dismissive when hearing this, thinking that Potio's bounty is not even a fraction of Kafka's bounty, so he can't be such a ruthless character.
But the Sea Patrol is a neutral faction after all. Although Poteo is hostile to the company, the consequences are much ado about nothing, which is very different from the terrorist organization like the Star Core Hunters who destroy a planet at will.
It stands to reason that when the Star Core Hunters' wanted criminals Sam and Silver Wolf show up on the Luofu Immortal Boat, the company and the bounty hunters will launch a capture operation against them. Even if they don't mobilize all of their forces, there will be capture teams everywhere.
However, once the news that Star Core Hunter Sam and Silver Wolf appeared in Luofu Fairy Boat was exposed, the Fairy Boat Alliance stated that during the martial arts ceremony, it was strictly forbidden for anyone to cause a disturbance in Luofu.
Therefore, those people who were ready to make a move had to calm down and wait patiently for the martial arts ceremony to end. No one wanted to pretend to obey but actually disobey. After all, no matter how much the reward was, one had to live to spend it.
Before, at the beginning of the ring challenge, whenever Potio appeared, he would first greet the Interstellar Peace Company, especially the Marketing Department, which was always criticized.
As a result, many company employees now know about Potio, and every time he appears at a martial arts ceremony, he first greets all employees in the marketing department like a family portrait.
As a result, many employees of the marketing department held their breath and cheered for Topa in the audience, their faces flushed, hoping that the friendly forces would give some support.
But Toppa actually refused in his heart. Many employees in the strategic investment department also remained on the sidelines and even had the mentality of watching the fun.
The headquarters of Interstellar Peace Company has a total of seven departments, which seem to be closely connected and as close as a family to outsiders...except for the Strategic Investment Department and the Market Development Department.
Originally, these two departments should be the ones with the deepest involvement and the most extensive interests.
Unfortunately, the heads of the two departments have different ideas and methods, and there is friction caused by overlapping business directions and the two department heads are competing for seats on the board of directors.
The Strategic Investment Department's approach is to encourage companies to invest in infrastructure construction in remote and poor areas of the world, mainly in the hope that the local economy can be developed and long-term returns can be obtained.
The market development department's approach is more like colonial plunder. They don't care much about how the indigenous people live, but focus on immediate interests and gains.
For example, Gold Dust's home planet, Tsygania-IV, was once one of the project planets that the Market Development Department was responsible for, and it was also the main reason why Gold Dust became a slave.
Although the friendship between Topa and Shajin was not very deep, they were both senior officials in the Strategic Investment Department and members of the Stone Heart Ten. It was inevitable that they would be biased and had a wait-and-see attitude towards the greetings given to the Market Development Department.
But then again, the Marketing Department was slandered and abused in such a way during a competition that attracted worldwide attention, so even if there were grudges between departments, they had to put them aside for the time being.
Even Diamond called and told Toppa to win the next game against Poteo, and that he could mobilize Cornerstone to win for the company when necessary, and there would be additional rewards afterwards.
Toppa obviously knew Poteo very well. As soon as he made a move, he directed his spear to charge forward with great force, as if he wanted to limit Poteo's shooting skills through close combat and win the victory.
When it comes to long-range weapon combat, she naturally doesn't dare to say that she can definitely win against a cowboy, especially a cyber cowboy who has been transformed by prosthetics, so close combat is her choice.
But Potio was not afraid at all and let the dimensional piggy bank rush over and fight with them in close combat.
Prosthetic modification parts! Almost 90% of Portio's body is made of high-strength rare metal materials, which gives him a natural advantage in close combat.
Even though Potio is not good at fighting, with the help of his metal prosthesis, it is easy for him to smash a stone tablet with one punch, as if he can break everything with one force.
But after only a few rounds, the onlookers were a little surprised. Considering Potio's own advantages, fighting him in close combat was no less than an ordinary person hitting a special sandbag filled with metal materials.
In such a high-intensity battle, ordinary people would have had their fists broken long ago, but Topal showed no signs of being injured or affected at all.
Topa, wearing high-heeled boots and with his short silver hair tied behind his head, ignored Portio's modified metal arms and engaged him in close combat.
Xing sat in the viewing stand, stunned, watching Topal's fleshy white legs kicking on Portio's metal-modified prosthesis, causing ripples, but she didn't dare to have any more thoughts.
Just kidding, I originally thought that this sister who bought the list was also a strategist who was just a vase, but I didn't expect that this sister was so fierce. She didn't activate the cornerstone, but she was able to fight back and forth with Potio.
The pair of delicate hands were not at all inferior to Poteo's fists, and the same was true for the pair of voluptuous long legs. Maybe they could kick the stone tablet to pieces...
She felt a little hit. If she continued at this rate, she wouldn't be able to gain any advantage in the semi-finals unless she had some kind of cheat... Xing thought blankly, and suddenly turned her gaze to Jiang Fan, her face full of flattery.
