Huayu 93, I'm the ceiling of combat power from the moment I appear.

A few days later, He Xi finished filming her scenes and then handed over her scriptwriting duties, asked for leave from the crew, met up with Lin Di'an, and flew to Japan together.

Several other people accompanied her, all of whom were stunt performers and had met He Xi on set before.

They will serve as He Xi's support team during the competition.

Of course, someone who travels across the ocean to Japan to practice boxing cannot fight alone.

Otherwise, if a boxing boss forces you to fight in an underground fight, and you don't want to cheat, and you win the match but get beaten up and thrown into the sea, it wouldn't be fun if you lost your mind.

Does she really have to go to a mental hospital to be studied and work part-time as a caregiver?

Not everyone can find true love in a mental hospital.

However, He Xi still had some questions.

"Diamond Bro, is it really necessary for so many people to go together? Isn't it a bit too much of a fuss..."

He wasn't the kind of big star who needed dozens of assistants and bodyguards to go out with, and he had never experienced so many people serving him before, so he was a little unaccustomed to it.

Of course, more importantly...

With so many people going with him, the food and lodging must have cost a lot. I wonder if his salary will be enough.

If I don't win the championship prize, I'll be eating dirt when I get back.

Lindim raised an eyebrow with a smile, but his expression gradually became lewd.

"You don't need to think about these things. Just focus on preparing for your own competition. You don't need to worry about their food and accommodation."

"And while they claim to be there to provide you with protection, they all have their own ulterior motives."

"I don't need to elaborate on which industries are most developed in Japan, do I?"

He Xi raised an eyebrow, and two words immediately popped into her mind.

【Ivy】!

[Entertainment establishment]!

Many people have a misconception that in Japan, adult videos can be filmed and sold freely.

In fact, there are clear legal provisions prohibiting them from engaging in or conducting buying and selling activities.

Therefore, a brothel is simply a place where people drink, chat, and laugh with companions.

However, if you get along well in the store and are mutually attracted, you might want to move to another place to further deepen your friendship.

Then it has nothing to do with brothels.

In other words, brothels are essentially pimps, but they are legally recognized.

The adult video industry is, strictly speaking, also illegal.

Japan also has clear laws prohibiting the public dissemination or sale of images of organs.

Therefore, the works you see, especially those by well-known artists from reputable companies, are definitely cavalry.

Unless the teacher retires or uses technical means to hack the system, they cannot be converted to infantry.

Hmm, now that AI technology is available, it seems like many teachers' works have been manually unblocked?

I don't know much about these things, so I'm just talking nonsense...

As for those works that were originally produced by small workshops, they were first exported, then transformed into works by American copyright holders, and then sold back to their domestic markets.

This allows them to circumvent domestic laws and gain legitimacy.

This is also the origin of the famous 'FBI warning'.

Seeing the change in He Xi's expression, Lin Di'an smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to know so much about Japan even though you've never been there."

"That's right, those guys are planning to go to Japan to fight pachinko!"

He Xi: "???"

Pachinko, commonly known as "small steel ball," is actually a type of pinball game machine.

Players first spend money to buy small steel balls, then play on the machine, and finally receive a variable number of small steel balls based on the result.

The prize steel balls can be used to continue playing, or you can use them to redeem prizes.

Note that the small steel balls cannot be directly exchanged for money.

Because gambling is also illegal in Japan.

However, there will definitely be prize recycling shops next to pachinko parlors.

The prizes you redeem can be exchanged for cash there.

So, like the "FBI warning," it's an extra step, circumventing the law and turning illegal actions into legal ones.

By doing this, illegal things instantly become legal, and no one investigates them. Instead, several huge pillar industries have developed.

Behind these industries are conglomerates or forces from both the legitimate and criminal worlds.

Of course, it's also possible that these industries have become legalized in a de facto way because of the forces behind them.

He Xi was somewhat surprised.

If you like traffic jams, why not just cross the sea to Macau?

It's relatively close by. Even if someone like Xie Xian loses everything, he can still have his wife smooth things over with the gambling king and have his teenage son start working as a child laborer to earn money to pay off his debts.

Why go to such lengths, going all the way to Japan?

"You just don't understand!"

Lindim had an expression of someone who'd been there all along.

"Going to Macau is a gamble where you lose nine out of ten times."

"At the card table, the player can't beat the dealer. Do you think the casino is a charity?"

"But pachinko is different."

"The bead output rate of each machine is locked in advance."

"As long as you can find the pattern, and then find the right machine at the right time, you're guaranteed to make money!"

"This is much safer than going to Australia!"

Casinos in Macau aren't charitable institutions; they're like pachinko parlors in Japan.

He Xi shook her head, indicating that she really didn't understand.

Also, instead of playing ball games in Japan, they went to play pachinko.

Are you guys crazy, or am I crazy?

Lindim, however, was very enthusiastic and began to tell He Xi about the techniques of playing pachinko.

The plane flew for more than four hours, and he talked for a full four hours.

He didn't even have a chance to exchange glances with the flight attendant.

It has to be said that the quality of flight attendants in this era is truly excellent.

They were all beautiful with long legs and stunning faces.

Especially for international flights, the quality is beyond question.

Even He Xi, who was used to watching pretty girls dance on short video platforms in the original timeline, couldn't help but give it a like.

Speaking of which, it seems that quite a few celebrities in Hong Kong started out as flight attendants.

Zhao Yazhi, Li Ruotong, and Guo Xianni all seem to have worked as flight attendants before they became famous.

Unfortunately, there were no familiar faces on this flight.

Moreover, Lindim's constant chatter prevented He Xi from having time to properly talk to the flight attendants and find out more.

Soon, the plane landed at Tokyo Haneda Airport.

After landing, despite their fatigue from the journey, Lin Di'an and the others dropped off their luggage at the hotel and then headed straight for Shinjuku with He Xi.

"Come on, Xi-zai, your brothers will take you to play pachinko!"

He Xi really wanted to say, "I want to go play ball..."

But seeing how excited they were, he didn't want to spoil the fun.

So the group walked past the numerous brothels with their heads held high and eyes straight ahead, and then plunged into a pachinko parlor.

Soon, the sound of beads being struck filled the air.

Lindim and the others shouted excitedly or disappointedly.

He Xi played a few rounds out of boredom, but found it less interesting, so he got up and went to the door to get some fresh air.

On the counter by the door were some magazines, and they were the kind of photo magazines that are not commonly seen even in Hong Kong.

The kind with very little fabric.

He Xi picked it up with great interest and slowly flipped through it with a rational, academic gaze.

Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow.

"Huh? Isn't that Asia's most beautiful breasts?"
