Rebirth 08: Equipment God

Chapter 189 People even hit on me with this kind of person?

My code name is Mad Lion, and this is my 32nd professional match.

I have come this far step by step.

Others drink glasses of alcohol in one go, but I can only drink half a glass at a time.

Other singers hire two girls, but I can only hire one.

While others stay up all night clubbing, I can only club until 2 a.m.

Self-discipline is the reason I became a professional athlete. My coach said that my hard work has surpassed that of many athletes.

For example, football players.

The coach also said that today's opponent was a noob, and it would be an easy game to boost the win rate.

If I weren't lying on the ground right now...

I fucking believed it!

The coach, standing on the sidelines, frantically shouted, "Get up! Da Chun! Get up!!"

The blue team member swayed as he stood up, and the referee stepped forward to determine if he was conscious.

The boxer's eyes darted around, seemingly hesitant about admitting defeat, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to refuse and nodded to indicate that he could continue.

Turning to look at the red team player again, a tremor ran through me.
Those eyes, filled with unwavering conviction that almost coalesced into murderous intent, resembled those of a young general from ancient times!
And in this low-level match, there were actually supporters of the opposing team waving a large, conspicuous flag. Were the opposing team from Qing City? Was it their home turf?!

The coach, relying on his loud voice, shouted his strategy from afar: "Defense! Win by points! This is your only chance!"

Yes. There are two minutes left in the third round of defense. If I can hold on and drag the game out, I might have an advantage in terms of stamina, given my discipline.
"clang clang"

The game starts again.

The game ended quickly.

One punch. The center gate opens.

The two fists lost their balance.

Three punches and another hit in the face.

Sweat splattered like silver needles, representing unparalleled power!

The mad lion collapsed, feeling dizzy and disoriented, with only one thought remaining in his mind.

That punch was brutal. Where did it come from?
Is this still in China?!
"321"

"KO!!"

"The victor is... a mountain of flesh!!!"

From the stands, a cheer erupted that, while not exactly overwhelming, was exceptionally loud.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Three hours later.

"Holy crap!! That was awesome! That punch was incredible!"

"What's that guy called? Mad Lion? He doesn't deserve the name! He got his braces knocked out by Ah Wei!"

"What a load of bull! That's called a knockout! Has he even seen one before?!"

In Qing City, at a night market stall, young men and women, separated for a long time, reunite in a strange city.

A large group of people sat in a row, drinking beer and eating clams.

Chu Xiang shouted excitedly; in fact, his excitement hadn't stopped since the end of the competition.

"It's so happy! It's so happy!"

Lin Shuyao was standing close by and watched as a spittle landed in her wine glass. She wished she could poke him with the stick in her hand.

Fan Junwei had a bruise on the bridge of his nose, but his overall condition was fine. He scratched his head shyly. He was the tallest of the group, but the only one who didn't drink alcohol.

Li Dongdong and Ao Wen huddled together, listening curiously as he recounted how awesome the military training in Guangxi Province was. Ao Wen even mentioned that he had climbed inside an armored vehicle for a tour.

Xiang You held his wine glass, but he had already fallen silent. He had the lowest alcohol tolerance, yet he drank the most heavily, and he became dizzy before all the dishes were served.

Lu Siwen held her wine glass with both hands in a very ladylike manner, mainly listening, but actually didn't drink much at all.

She was no stranger to everyone; they had all graduated, so it was pointless to talk about who was in which class. In such a large society, everyone had graduated from the same school.

The students at Kyoto University were also very enthusiastic, but she could tell which enthusiasm was motivated by ulterior motives and which was genuine friendship.

Occasionally, when I get tired of listening, I'll look at Zhai Da. I feel a mix of longing and eagerness for him to read my novel. In short, it's great that he's here.

Zhai Da was enjoying the special grilled prawns, which were as long as his forearm, head and tail included, and were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

This gathering came suddenly, yet it was also only natural.

Most college freshmen are at the most vibrant age, and with the first National Day holiday after the start of the semester so close, they naturally can't bear to stay cooped up in their dorm rooms. Many choose to go on trips instead.

Of course, some of the friends in Utopia also wanted to organize it. Although they came from all over the country, they could all afford a plane ticket.

At first, the group discussed for a long time, and various destinations came up. Some of them were of interest to Zhai Da, while others were not necessarily willing to go. It wasn't until later, when they learned that Fan Junwei's first match was to be held in Qing City, that they gradually summarized their opinions and decided on this location.

Fan Junwei was very tired from training every day and didn't use his phone much, so he didn't notice the discussion in the first half. In the second half, everyone simply created a small group chat without him and chatted separately, which perfectly fooled him and created a complete surprise.

As for Lu Siwen, it was because the artsy girl had suggested going to Harbin to see Zhai Da several times in a row, and it was pointless to keep refusing. Since they were all from the same hometown as the Maofang Middle School, it would be good to go out and have fun together.

If there's anything slightly regrettable, it's that the match wasn't exciting enough. A boxing match is only three minutes per round, but Fan Junwei shattered Mad Lion's teeth with a single punch in the third round, forcing him to be carried off the ring. The match only lasted about ten minutes before it ended.
Zhai Da peeled a large shrimp and placed it on Lu Wei's plate, saying, "I feel there's a big difference in your abilities. He seems like a novice, his defense is hesitant and timid, like he wants to block but doesn't dare to."

Fan Junwei chuckled: "My punches are heavy, maybe it hurts too much."

Zhai Da wiped his hands and raised his huge beer mug: "Let's have a toast, everyone! Congratulations to the future world boxing champion on his first victory! He's won his first match!"

"The Great Demon King of Roshan!"

"cheers!!!"

Fan Junwei drank a large glass of water, but felt dizzy as if he had been drinking alcohol.

Chu Xiang said, "I've never paid attention to this before, but seeing it up close today is really exciting. I'm a boxing spectator now! Ah Wei, I'll definitely come to watch your matches live again if I have the chance."

Ao Wen: "Exactly! We are all your staunch supporters!"

Li Haili: "I've made something of myself! I know a boxer now, let's see who dares to bully me!"

Then I'll just keep playing like this and keep winning.

Fan Junwei thought to himself.

The noise continued, and the laughter persisted.

The boys and girls shared their experiences, and even though they hadn't seen each other for just over a month, they still had endless topics to discuss.

For example, Lu Siwen has gained some fame at Peking University, not for any other reason than her looks. Peking University is inherently more eye-catching than other schools. Her photos from when she registered were posted online, and some people have already called her by the exaggerated nickname "Goddess of Peking University," saying that she is the most beautiful freshman at Peking University.

Of course, Xiao Lu herself wouldn't dare to talk about these things; all of this content comes from Li Haili.

Zhai Da: "Wait a minute, you're studying in Shenzhen, yet you're still paying attention to Peking University?"

Li Haili laughed and said, "Where in the country doesn't pay attention to Peking University? Besides, I'll keep an eye on Xiao Lu's news, including everyone else's."

Chu Xiang immediately asked, "Oh? Are there any news articles about me online?"

"On the first day of military training at Shanghai University, a male student was posted on the forum because his pockets were full of sanitary napkins and they fell out. That was you, wasn't it?"

Chu Xiang:
"That's slander! I just heard that sanitary napkins don't rub against your feet when used as insoles! I only brought one pack!"

Li Dongdong: "What's the use of one bag? Don't you have two legs?"

"A big bag is cheaper."

Ao Wen: "What about me? What about me?"

"You're overthinking it. The rest will naturally belong to Zhai Da. The top scorer who chose Harbin Institute of Technology, the top scorer couple, the annual new author with sales exceeding one million, news about Zhai Da is everywhere." Hearing about the top scorer couple, Lu Siwen turned her head and glanced at him, and Lin Shuyao also secretly raised her eyes.

There's no noticeable change, but it's not surprising either.

Young men and women always feel that there is still plenty of time and that they will miss each other for a long time.

Boys might feel disheartened if a girl is already taken, while girls might think it's normal for a guy to be taken.

After all, it's a famous plant, isn't it?

Flowers have their blooming season, but grass grows ever more abundant in the heart, only fading away little by little when time and distance are sufficient.

Now, people are more curious about the progress of the two.

------

The group stayed at the same three-star hotel, with the men and women sleeping in separate rooms. Chu Xiang and Xiang You were both drunk, so Zhai Da arranged for Li Dongdong and Ao Wen to each stay with one of them in case something happened that night.

He shared a room with Wu Yue, while the girls shared a room with Li Haili and Lu Wei, and Lin Shuyao and Xiao Lu.

Lin Shuyao sat upright on the bed, her long legs neither swinging nor crossing, feeling a little awkward.

The two were barely acquainted, and it was somewhat awkward for them to suddenly live under the same roof.

There was even a hint of competition between them back then, a rivalry over who would be the most beautiful girl in the class of 08. Of course, Lu Siwen probably never paid any attention to it.

However, when traveling, a standard room is already a very reasonable option; many university students book a standard room that can sleep seven or eight people.
Lu Siwen, on the other hand, was more natural; at most, she was just curious.

I've never stayed in such a "small" hotel before! And it was just the two of us, a girl!!
Lin Shuyao's little brain was working at high speed. What should she do? What should she do now?
Should I take off my clothes? Should I go to the bathroom? Will it seem pretentious? What should I do if I need to use the toilet? How do I take a shower?
Turning my head, I noticed that the side of the bathroom facing the bed had frosted glass.
As she thought about it, Lin Shuyao blushed.

"Um, Little Deer, are you taking a shower?"

Lu Siwen, wearing disposable slippers, paced around the room tidying up her things. She pulled a notebook from her suitcase, shook her head, and said:

"I'll be there later, you go ahead and shower, I'll go find Zhai Da."

Lin Shuyao pricked up her ears.

"so late?"

Lu Siwen asked doubtfully, "Is it alright? My schedule is pretty full every day from now on, so I might not be tired today."

Aren't you afraid of running into Lu Wei?

"Isn't Lu Wei sharing a room with Li Haili?"

Lin Shuyao thought to herself that Zhai Da was probably not the type to cause trouble. Besides, they lived together in Harbin. If he were going to cause trouble here, he would have already done so long ago.

I wonder how Lu Wei and Li Haili are doing, and whether they're in the same awkward situation as them.

On the other side, there were also standard rooms.

Lu Wei lay stiffly on the bed. The light was off, but her eyes were still wide open.

"Senior, I've known about you since my first year of high school..."

"Um"

"You were quite famous back then. Do you remember that year at the sports meet? You signed up for the high jump, and you were so cool."

"Um"

Are you sleepy?

"Um"

"Then I'll talk for another hour at most."

"."

Finally, Lu Siwen and Lin Shuyao went out together and headed to Zhai Da and Wu Yue's room.

Lu Siwen went to Zhai Da to read her novel, while Lin Shuyao made an excuse to inquire about the policy for a second major at Jingbei Foreign Languages ​​Institute.

It's really just that they don't want to be left alone in a room. Young people have this sense of urgency; they're afraid of being left out of the fun when others are having a great time.

It just inexplicably turned into tiptoeing and standing on tiptoe, stealing sensations with unparalleled skill.

"Why are we treated like thieves?"

Lu Siwen was also a little confused. How did it suddenly turn into crouching and moving forward?

Finally, I stopped at the door of the room and actually had the urge to back out. The atmosphere became really strange.

"How about we go back? I think I can show my novel to Zhai Da tomorrow."

Lin Shuyao immediately said, "I think you have a point. I'm not in a hurry to choose a second major."

He suddenly turned his head and bumped his forehead against the door frame.

"Ouch~ that hurts."

"ah!!"

Lu Siwen was startled and quickly went to protect him, but she was already crouching down and lost her balance, falling to the ground and kicking the door in the process.

With a "bang," playing hide-and-seek was no longer an option.

The two exchanged a glance, realizing that such a loud commotion must have been heard.
"what to do."

"Wouldn't it be stranger to leave now?"

"Zhai Da, are you there?"

No one responded.

“Zhai Da??”

"Fell asleep?"

------

"Nobody's allowed to sleep tonight! Let's get this party started! Boom boom boom!"

"Everything today is on Mr. Zhou!!"

"There are already too many rights and wrongs in love~ Yo yo! We've arrived at a time when everyone's beaming with joy~ Yo yo!"

"Congratulations to Monica in booth A1 on her birthday today! Let's wish her a happy birthday!"

In the smoky nightclub, Zhai Da and Wu Yue, each holding a glass of wine, were discussing and commenting on each other's opinions.

Wu Yue pointed to a corner in the distance: "Look at that! Isn't it even bigger!"

Zhai Da raised an eyebrow: "Big! This is really big!"

"Is bigger always better?"

"Big doesn't necessarily mean good, but good things are always big! Look at that curve, it's big enough to hold everyone's drinks!"

"Let's go ask them?"

"Let's all attack together!"

The two of them went to greet them with great enthusiasm, passing through countless booths and female performers dancing in swimsuits.

Keep your eyes straight ahead and have a clear goal.

"Handsome, your wine is pretty good, is it homemade?"

The chubby guy who was pouring beer from the craft brewery trembled slightly.

Nightclubs are definitely not a good place to work.
Even with my style, people still hit on me?

I've already returned from my trip to Chengdu, haven't I?
