American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 119 Netizens
After playing for the whole afternoon, Roy took Heather and Penny to UCLA near dusk.

Roy was still greeted by Alan Berg and Merry Hill, and they were both very surprised when they saw Heather and Penny.

"Mr. Black, who are they?"

"my friend."

Alan and Mary were speechless. Judging from Heather and Penny's attitude, they knew that they had a special relationship with Roy.

This gave Mary a deeper understanding of Roy's fickleness.

"Well, Mr. Black, I have no intention of asking about your personal life, but for a boxer, protecting the psoas muscles is very important."

Although Allen's words were rather tactful, the three girls present understood.

"You can rest assured about this. My psoas muscles are in great shape."

Roy spread his hands, which made Allen very helpless. It was difficult for a veteran coach like him to accept a disobedient boxer like Roy.

"Okay, let's talk about the Santa Monica Cup. This tournament is mainly held at night. During the qualifying period, five rings will be set up by the pier, and a group of amateur boxers will gather there. As long as you win three matches in front of any referee, you will qualify to participate in the preliminaries."

Roy found it very fresh that there was such a form of competition.

"So when does the game start?"

"Eight o'clock. There's still some time left. Let me check your physical condition first."

After checking with professional equipment, Allen confirmed that Roy's physical condition was indeed perfect. This was the result measured after Roy had restrained himself. He was quite worried that his performance would be too abnormal and scare Allen to death.

After the test was completed, Allen took Roy and the others to the pier near Santa Monica Beach.

The Santa Monica Cup draws a large number of tourists, creating a night market-like environment near the pier.

Luo Yijue believes that the organizer of the Santa Monica Cup should be able to recoup the cost of the event just by collecting booth fees.

However, the amateur boxers who came to participate were really amateurs. Roy saw several middle-aged men with big bellies signing up.

"These are my opponents?"

Alan answered Roy's doubts.

"Now it's the qualifying round, so there will be a lot of people joining in for fun. When it comes to the preliminary round, basically these people will be gone. When it comes to the elimination round, you will be facing amateur boxers from universities."

According to regulations, once a boxer enters the professional boxing world, he is not allowed to participate in amateur boxing matches.

This has led to the fact that amateur boxers in the United States are mainly college students, including college boxers who compete in the Olympics.

The $100,000 prize for the Santa Monica Cup champion is still quite tempting for college students, and boxing experts from universities around California will show up at that time.

Including the black boxer who had fought Roy before, Bruce Eyke, nicknamed Anvil, will also participate in this cup.

"We still have a few minutes, Mr. Black. Warm up first. The qualifying rounds don't require a lot of procedures. Basically, you can enter the ring after weighing in."

At eight o'clock in the evening, the pier at Santa Monica Beach was brightly lit, and more and more tourists gathered.

Boxing is a sport with a very wide audience in America, so there are quite a lot of people coming to watch the game.

After completing the weigh-in, Roy went to the heavyweight boxer's ring for the first qualifying match.

The opponent was a middle-aged man who looked like he was here to join in the fun. His body fat percentage was seriously over the standard and his stance was very loose. It was estimated that he had never received any boxing training and was just a pure amateur boxing enthusiast.

However, the referee was still quite professional. He explained the rules and taboos amid the cheers, and then announced the start of the game.

Since his opponent was just an amateur, Roy didn't plan to be too harsh. He dodged with a V-shape and knocked him down with a punch.

This situation instantly caused cheers from the audience. The most attractive thing in a boxing match is always KO.

Compared to the fights between noobs in other arenas, Roy's fight was really beautiful.

Heather and Penny proudly introduced Roy to everyone around them.

"He's Roy Black, the Grim Reaper from Falls Oak High School!"

After announcing Roy's KO victory, the referee asked him if he wanted to continue fighting. After getting confirmation, he quickly arranged a second opponent.

He is also an amateur, but since he dares to enter the ring, he is more professional than the first opponent.

At least he has maintained a good figure and his boxing stance is also quite decent.

The referee announced the start of the match again, and then Roy's opponent retreated in a defensive posture, apparently wanting to engage in guerrilla warfare with Roy.

This guy's strategy was not wrong, but he chose the wrong opponent.

Roy directly blasted open his opponent's guard with a heavy cannon, and then punched him in the chin, sending him to a good sleep.

The referee once again announced that Roy won by KO.

Roy quickly knocked out his opponents in two consecutive matches, and successfully attracted the attention of most of the audience.

At the same time, Roy's nickname "The God of Death" began to spread in a small range.

"Mr. Black, are you sure you want to continue with the third qualifying match?"

"I am sure."

Roy's performance frightened some amateur players. Although they were just there to join in the fun, they didn't want to be beaten for no reason.

That would be a really poor gaming experience.

So Roy stood in the ring for five minutes before his third opponent appeared.

This opponent is obviously a college boxer with a very standard physique.

At this time, the audience who came to see Roy had already surrounded the stage. They all wanted to see Roy's next performance.

Some people even started calling Roy by his nickname.

The referee announced the start of the game for the third time, and Roy began his real performance.

Roy released his hold, opened the middle door, and signaled his opponent to attack him.

This act of contempt immediately angered his opponent, who began to attack Roy frantically.

Then, the scene that the Austin audience had witnessed was repeated on Santa Monica Beach in Los Angeles.

The opponent threw punches madly but missed. Roy dodged all the attacks with ease.

The scene was extremely spectacular and the audience was going crazy.

But for Roy's opponents, this is the most desperate situation.

By the end of the fight, it was clear that the man had lost the will to fight.

Roy ended the game at the end of the first round.

At this point, the whole audience started calling Roy's nickname, and he became a superstar on the Santa Monica beach.

"Well done, Mr. Black! You've got your ticket to the qualifiers, and you have a week off!"

Allen was very satisfied with Roy's performance.

"Rest? Those last three games weren't even warm-ups for me!"

As he said that, Roy put his arms around Heather and Penny's shoulders and walked away.

The look in Meili's eyes as she looked at Roy also changed slightly. With the Santa Monica Cup qualifiers still a week away, Roy naturally wouldn't just sit there and wait.

But after a few days of wandering around Los Angeles with Heather and Penny, Roy got a little bored.

Can anyone tell Roy why women have such good physical strength for shopping?

Normally, he would feel tired after walking a few steps, but when shopping, Heather and Penny seemed to have two stamina bars, which made Roy, who had 45 points of stamina, speechless.

So, for the next few days, Roy stayed in the hotel and didn't go out. It was nice to play with his laptop in the suite.

Roy got the MSN numbers from Mary and Saltana and chatted with them on MSN.

This feeling was quite good, and reminded Roy of the time when he used QQ to fall in love online in his previous life.

During the midnight movie incident, Saltana saw Roy with Heather and Penny, and seemed a little unhappy.

After that, he ignored Roy and even refused to answer the phone.

Fortunately, she was willing to reply to MSN messages, so Roy successfully made Saltana happy by using the abstract Internet memes of later generations, and the other party was finally willing to answer Roy's call.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"No, I just wanted to talk to you."

"Hmm, it's rare that there's no bad news today."

Next, Roy started to operate on two fronts, flirting with Saltana on the phone while chatting with Mary on MSN.

But not long after, Mary went offline, probably because she was in class.

It is quite troublesome not to have mobile communication software. After all, you can’t carry a computer with you, but you can carry a mobile phone.

Fortunately, Saltana didn't hang up the phone.

"You said you were going to an amateur boxing tournament in Los Angeles? The Santa Monica Cup?"

"Yeah, do you know about this competition? Because of this competition, I will stay in Los Angeles for a while longer."

There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment, and Saltana seemed to be thinking.

Roy was looking at the MSN interface bored, when suddenly a friend request caught his attention.

Normally, Roy would definitely click on this kind of friend request from a stranger, but the other person's profile picture was a little unusual. It was a photo of the body showing the southern hemisphere, which seemed to be a selfie.

This photo shows off the curves, allowing people to see the perfect waistline and vest line of the human body, and the slightly exposed southern hemisphere adds a bit of temptation.

Roy couldn't help but click on the other party's message and took a look. The gender was female.

In this day and age, there shouldn't be those big, untidy guys who use female characters and female avatars to cheat people everywhere, right?
For some unknown reason, Roy accepted the friend invitation from the girl named Succubus.

At this time, Saltana on the other end of the phone spoke again, and Roy's attention immediately returned to the phone.

"Roy, when is your next match?"

"I'm going to play two qualifying matches next week, Saturday and Sunday. Do you want to come and watch?"

"We'll see. I can't be sure."

Although Saltana said this, Roy was sure that she would come to watch the game.

This older sister's personality is like this. To describe it in one word, she is a bit arrogant and likes to say one thing and mean another.

"Okay, with Sister Saltana's encouragement, I'm sure my performance will be better!"

"Humph, I'm afraid I won't be the only one cheering you on by then!"

Roy smiled. This was not a good question to answer.

Just at this moment, the door of the suite was pushed open. It turned out that Heather and Penny had finished shopping and came back with bags.

"Sister Saltana, I really hope to see you on the day of the competition! But I have to hang up now."

“…See you then!”

Saltana finally made a promise.

Roy hung up the phone and turned off the laptop screen. He didn't notice that the MSN friend he just added sent him a message.

"Heather, Penny, you're back? What did you buy today?"

"Roy, we got you some new clothes!"

Then, Heather and Penny began to change Roy's clothes enthusiastically.

In terms of clothing, since he comes from the future, Roy's clothes are quite trendy. However, he had been living in Fallstown before and only went to Austin occasionally, so he didn't have access to any fashion brands.

Although Austin is the capital of Texas, its economy is actually not as good as Dallas and Houston.

However, Roy's figure makes him a natural clothes hanger. No matter how Heather and Penny match their clothes, they look so handsome that they can't close their legs.

When changing clothes, there will inevitably be some physical contact.

Bored Roy first turned on the TV and watched the late-night reality show "Night Owls" that he had seen on his first day at the Dolphin Hotel.

Roy quite likes this show. The host Jack has quite a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

Roy opened his laptop again to see if Mary had replied to his message.

However, there was no movement from Mary, but instead there was a message from Succubus, a new netizen she added in the afternoon.

Succubus: Are you there?
Succubus: My name is Adela, nice to meet you!

This netizen actually gave his own name directly.

However, this seems to be quite common in the early days of Internet social networking. At that time, netizens were still relatively innocent. It was not until a few years later when there were more and more scammers that everyone became more vigilant.

Diablo (Roy's online name): Hello, nice to meet you too!
This online name was taken from the name of the big boss in Diablo. Roy liked this game very much, and Diablo's title was the Lord of Terror, which was exactly his goal.

As soon as Roy sent the message, the other party immediately replied, as if Adela had been waiting in front of the computer for his reply.

It’s a bit like the mentality that Roy had when he first came into contact with QQ. He was very happy when strangers on the Internet replied to his messages.

Succubus: You finally replied to my message, I'm so happy!
Hey, it looks like he is someone who has just started surfing the Internet, which aroused Roy's interest.

Chatting with this kind of newbie is the most interesting thing.

Diablo: Are you a girl?
Succubus: Yes! The profile picture is my photo!

It’s actually a selfie!
Diablo: But I don't quite believe it. Do you have any better evidence?
The succubus paused for a while, and after a while sent a new picture via MSN

This is also a very seductive selfie. A woman lifted up her shirt and wrote the six letters "Diablo" with lipstick under the vaguely exposed southern hemisphere.

This is exactly the English spelling of Diablo.

Is it true again?

Aren’t netizens of this era too honest?
But Roy likes this kind of honest netizens. People should be more sincere with each other.

Especially in front of a gentleman like me!

Succubus: What about you? Can you let me see what you look like?
