I am the king of fighting!

Chapter 233 The end of the preliminaries
At night, on the bus from the airport to the hotel.

"What should I call you?" Abel from Hong Kong Island, also known as Hong Bei for short, asked in a complicated tone while sitting in the passenger seat.

The real body Abel, named Benbe for short, sitting in the back looks quite relaxed. Unlike in the game, he has no idea of ​​his own origin. Due to the collaboration with Charlie Nash, he is deeper in the pursuit of Shadow Luo. In the attack not long ago, he finally recovered some of his lost memories and clarified his own origin. He could no longer accept the existence of a clone exactly like himself.

After all, the other clone of the same type who was more familiar to him was the source of his name in the memory that he had recovered.

"Do you know why my name is Abel?" he volunteered.

Gang Bei was stunned for a moment. His memory was still at the level of his original body a year ago. Of course, he was a little overwhelmed and remained silent for a long time without saying anything.

"Abel, Seth," Benbe said softly, "We are all Cain's brothers."

"Genesis from the Bible..." Gangbei muttered to himself. He quickly realized, "There is another clone named Seth like us?"

"Yes." Benbei lowered his eyelids to hide his surging emotions. He was a failure, but Seth, who was named with him, successfully completed the transformation and was taken away by Vega. He was never seen again. After a while, he sorted out his emotions and said:
"We are clones, the fatherless and motherless children of God. Neither heaven nor hell can comfort our souls."

“It’s just us, it’s just us.”

He spoke like he was chanting, his face showing the calmness and serenity after a storm.

At this moment, Gang Bei looked at the identical face in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but feel moved.

He suddenly realized that Lin Xi was right, he was not 'Abel'. Compared to his original body who had struggled and fought in this world and finally reached where he is today, he was still far from having only gained some memories. It was something that was hard to explain.
-
The next day, in the afternoon, at Deep Blue Martial Arts School.

"I'm really hungry."

Lin Xi sat in front of the computer, looking at the white desktop, and after a while suddenly sighed.

Last night, after Vanessa gave him the gift, she took him to a high-end dinner with a reserved table. Not only was there violin accompaniment during the meal, but there were also prepared fireworks after the meal... Well, in short, Lin Xi felt weird. He was wearing casual clothes, but the woman was dressed in a suit and was very polite. He felt like the one being seduced.

Finally, after getting off the Ferris wheel, the two happily returned to the martial arts gym for a fight.

I mean a real fight.

Vanessa's progress is quite good. At this rate, she should be able to reach Lin Xi's level in about 20 to 30 years.

There is no way. No matter in terms of physical fitness or temperament, it is remarkable that she, who is originally an amateur player, can make such rapid progress.

Lin Xi controlled his strength and had a thrilling fight with her. Then, on a whim, he took off his clothes and went back to the room for another fight. This time it was a real fight.

Since it was still dark, Vanessa left quietly.

Under his gaze.

With the girl's strength, it was impossible for her to hide from his perception. As soon as she woke up, the slight change in her breath woke him up.

After his sister left, Lin Xi tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He excitedly drove to the top of the mountain along the street. After watching the sunrise, he roared loudly a few times and then ran home.

He hadn't touched a woman for a few years, but when he suddenly touched one, his lust became unusually strong. When he was meditating in the morning, it was quite smooth, and other distracting thoughts were very few. They were all about the girl's body and messy postures. After his transformed body was activated by lust, the instinct of breeding immediately rose up, causing him to think that the dark-skinned Filipino maid in her thirties who came to clean had a pretty face...

He is really hungry.

After lunch, when he calmed down, Lin Xi went to buy a computer. To be honest, he had not paid attention to this aspect for a long time. He originally thought that computers of this era were at most old-fashioned gadgets with big heads that needed to be typed one command at a time. He did not expect that the latest models had operating systems similar to the XP system in his previous life, and the electronic components went straight to around 2010 in his previous life.

It’s just that everyone is still confined to their own chat rooms and forums. Due to the differences in platforms, operating systems and languages, communication software, online games, video websites and the like have not yet become popular. Computers are really purely for office use, and no matter how good the performance is, without unified standards, not many entertainment functions have been developed.

The only entertainment he could find was the website address of a text game that came with the computer when he bought it. Being used to playing online games and stand-alone masterpieces, he just didn't like text games. He only played for four or five hours before he started to seriously look at the black market website that Vanessa told him about.

"My head is really valuable."

Lin Xi clicked on her own photo on the black market website and saw a reward of up to $100 million underneath. She was speechless.

If the collection process wasn't so troublesome, this amount would have made him want to fake his own death and defraud the money.

It is quite easy to register on the black market website. You just need to leave an email address. If you want to accept a task, you need to use your real name and verify offline. The option to publish tasks is not on the public page at all, but you can choose to click to add funds, and you can transfer money online. The reward amount for this thing is not a single investment, but an additional system. The person who originally offered the reward was a big boss of a Hong Kong gang who has long since died.

The subsequent amounts were continuously increased to reach the current 100 million US dollars. Registration is so simple that it is impossible to find out who paid the most money. The website will automatically classify all the rewards for the same target, increase the reward amount, and make it convenient for killers to collect them all at once.

It was Vanessa who came to tell him the black market website last night. His net worth has been rising rapidly recently. After breaking through the 100 million US dollar mark, no matter how famous he becomes, there will probably be many people who come to assassinate him.

In the bounty fighter section, the number one person is Yuan. Not only does he have a detailed address, age, and style he's good at, but he even has a real-time update of his address. The bounty amount exceeds 50 billion US dollars, and the number of people who have accepted the bounty is over 10. However, the reality is that there are only a few people who can assassinate the old man in a year.

There is reason to suspect that the address updated in real time above is provided by Yuan himself.

The second place reward is 3 billion US dollars. There is only a back view in the photo. Careful observation reveals that it is a tall man in a priest's robe. He recognized the man as Goenitz at a glance. There are more than 200,000 people who have received the reward. There is nothing but a back view in the photo. It is likely that few people can find him.

The third one is a Taoist priest, nicknamed Buxuzi, and his introduction only contains a short sentence "the contemporary proud swordsman".

The fourth one is the guardian king of Hell Gate, 'Witch and Gu Master'. It is said that he escaped from China during the encirclement and suppression thirteen years ago, committed numerous bloody crimes along the way, and is suspected to be living in seclusion in New Zealand. A contact number is also left in it. If you have any relevant news, please contact him as soon as possible to get part of the reward.

The fifth is Haokeji Mei, the patriarch of the Haokeji clan in the 1960s, who possesses the mysterious Haokeji blood. The sixth is Lin Xi, whose introduction is quite detailed, including his address, experience, speed of strengthening, physical information, fighting style... everything is available, and even several videos of his previous battles are attached. The number of people who have accepted the bounty has exceeded 10,000.

Of course, this ranking is only based on the amount of money, not other factors. It is estimated that it is because he offended the Brazilian drug trafficking organization and the reward amount was suddenly raised. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to enter his previous life.

You should know that the seventh person below him is a famous and ruthless character named 'Li Yue Chong', the leader of the Elders' Council of Nanzhen Chinatown, the strongest tiger of the first generation, an old guy with unfathomable strength. He still stays in Nanzhen to enjoy his twilight years. Calculating his age, he is over a hundred years old, a real immortal.

Even though his body was weakened, few people could match him in terms of skills and application of qi. What's more, South Town Chinatown was not an easy organization to deal with. Even the South Town Mafia at its peak could not get involved, let alone others. The number of people who accepted the reward was only a pitiful thirty or so.

Many of the names further down were ones that Lin Xi was not familiar with. After flipping through more than ten pages, she did not see Vega, Lucard, or Gis, or Krauser. Those who made the list were either lonely or had many enemies. It seemed that even the black market was somewhat bullying the weak and afraid of the strong.

However, he did not have much idea about the black market. What impressed him most was the ever-changing Internet and various electronic devices that were updated every one or two months. More than four years ago, when he had just awakened his memories of his past life, everyone was still using new BB machines. In just four years, the current level of civilian technology is almost comparable to that of his previous life around 2008. The speed of development left him dumbfounded.

Judging from the time of the bounties posted on the website, the earliest batch of bounties actually came from during the World War. What kind of technological progress is this?

He didn't understand why there was such a leap in development, so he simply ignored it.

No matter what the reason is, it has nothing to do with him now.

Lin Xi went to have a meal on time, then tinkered with the word game for a while. He wrote an email about the bugs and future development directions and sent it to the game development studio. It was already past three in the morning when he turned off the computer. Being addicted to the Internet is a waste of time.

He simply decided not to sleep. After washing up, he went to feed Sizai, check on Ah Hua, study the new moves and fighting system he had developed during this period, and take some time to meditate to complete today's spiritual practice. Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was afternoon again.

He was studying his newly bought harmonica when a strange phone call came on his cell phone.

"Mr. Lin, do you remember me?" It was a very familiar woman's voice.

Lin Xi quickly identified the corresponding person in his mind, "Crimson Viper?" He was very curious about what the other party was going to say.

"The schedule for this Street Fighter tournament has been released. I will be responsible for communicating with you about the participation." Crimson Viper explained with a smile, then gave a string of URLs and said, "The schedule for this Street Fighter tournament is all published on the relevant websites, and will be mailed to Deep Blue Martial Arts School in a paper tournament weekly tomorrow."

She paused and said, "Mr. Lin, if you have any questions, you can contact me at any time through this phone number."

“Have fun.”

After saying that, she hung up the phone quite neatly.

"Is the preliminaries over?" Lin Xi put down his phone and typed in the URL of the Street Fighter competition. The homepage showed the scrolling list of qualified candidates.

After opening it, he saw several familiar faces [Edmund Honda], [Ryu], [Ken], [Yuan], [Lin Yu], [Jamie White], [Byson], [Baroque], [Han Zhuli], and some others who even though he had never seen them before, he could recognize them through their names and photos because of his familiarity with Street Fighter in his previous life.

Indian yoga master Dhalsim, Italian tarot card reader Rose, Soviet wrestler Zangief,
There are three more surprising guys: Kusanagi Shibafune who ran away from home, Rugal's female secretary Maidjo and Ves, plus his profile picture, a total of sixteen people, who are the official contestants after the end of this Street Fighter preliminaries.

"It's really lively."

Lin Xi exhaled the hot air that was pent up in his chest due to excitement, slid the mouse, and clicked on the schedule.

The competition will start in a week, with the preliminary round in Busan and the final in Seoul, with a prize of up to 20 million US dollars.

The competition system is a points system, that is, each contestant has to compete against all other contestants, win +1, lose -1. After the preliminary round, the top four contestants in points advance to the finals, and the rest are eliminated.

Simple and crude.

Lin Xi fully understood the significance of this competition system, which was to provide more data to the Yingluo biochemical weapons department to create the perfect humanoid weapon [Seth]. At that time, all the contestants' combat data would be absorbed and used by the BOSS Seth. To put it bluntly, it was just copying other people's moves but trying to give themselves a guise.

In this regard, he can only say that it is worthy of being Korea's film and television department, and it has some national characteristics.

However, he did not dislike this kind of competition system. At least he would not encounter the embarrassing situation like the first time he participated in Street Fighter. After playing two games, he woke up and found that the finals were over.

As for whether he feels anything about his moves being copied, he has no problem at all. If you copy it, then so be it. If it's not strong enough, then it's just a piece of rubbish.

Looking at this year's Street Fighter, his opponents should only be [Gen], [Dhalsim], [Kusanagi Shibazu], [Ryu], and [Ken], ranked in order of threat from highest to lowest.

I won't say much about Yuan. Although they both mastered the secret technique, they have never fought with real swords and guns. As an old fellow who can guide Long, Dhalsim should have some hidden skills. In addition, his fighting style is very strange, so we should be vigilant.

Kusanagi Sashifu is supported entirely by the Kusanagi fire and is able to seal the fire of Orochi, so it is not excessive to pay more attention to him.

Ryu and Ken are even simpler. After all, they are the protagonists of the Street Fighter series. Their potential and their bursts in battle should not be underestimated. With so many masters present, there is no telling what they will become after one round of preliminary matches.

Especially for Long, can the murderous intent in his body allow him to cheat like in Street Fighter II and win the championship?

And the hidden characters Gouki and Gouken who may jump out at any time, and finally Seth who has obtained all the data and gathered the culmination of the Shadow Law transformation technology...

"Just thinking about it makes me tremble with excitement, and my pants are about to have holes in them!"

Lin Xi's eyes were shining, and she wished she could travel through time right now to compete with those masters.

Because there are many people involved, it took some time to find the information, so it was posted late
