Chapter 231: 188, Scrambled eggs with chicken_2
“Right,” Uncle Li Dong had roughly calculated: “I got them all at ten percent of the original value, and a rough estimate would be that I spent about one hundred thousand yuan because they were all individual tickets and thus not of high face value.”
That is to say, the basic value of these tickets is upwards of one million yuan.
“If I win, how much can I exchange these scattered tickets for?” Qing Chen asked.
“They all bought in at different odds, but I reckon the overall average would probably be about ten times the odds,” Uncle Li Dong said with a grin: “Master doesn’t lack money, so all the winnings this time will be your spending money.”
Qing Chen took a deep breath: “Master, I understand, this is the opportunity you were talking about.”
…
…
In the private room, Li Yinuo looked at XiaoTongyun: “Why don’t you take a rest first?”
“No need, I’m really getting into it now!” XiaoTongyun blinked her shining big eyes, watching Qing Chen, who had re-entered the Octagon cage attentively, and she turned her head to ask Li Yinuo: “Yino, what do you think he’ll do next in the fight?”
Li Yinuo smiled and rubbed her head: “I didn’t expect you to like boxing matches so much, that’s quite similar to your sister—there’s potential!”
Li Tongyun thought to herself that she wasn’t actually fond of boxing matches; she was purely concerned about Qing Chen.
At this moment, Li Yinuo then turned to Nan Gengchen next to her and said, “Baby, if you don’t like watching, you can rest in the private room. I’ll ask the venue to prepare some food.”
“No need, no need, I’m not sleepy now,” Nan Gengchen thought to himself that he couldn’t feel sleepy at a time like this, he didn’t want to sleep, he just wanted to see Qing Chen knock down all the opponents in the Octagon cage.
Li Yinuo said joyfully, “I didn’t expect that you’d like boxing matches too, Baby. Just a moment ago, you were clamoring to go back to sleep. Look, now you’re getting excited too, aren’t you.”
The beautiful young warrior by her side could not have imagined that neither of the two people next to her were truly interested in the boxing matches; their attentions were completely fixed on Qing Chen alone…
Nan Gengchen asked, “Yino, do you have any predictions for what comes next?”
Li Yinuo thought for a bit before responding, “I speculate he will continue with the stable tactics from before, which makes it easier to hide his combat style and weaknesses.”
The trio looked towards the Octagon cage together, following the Bantamweight level was the Lightweight level.
The host stood outside the Octagon cage, elegantly bowed to the audience, and then excitedly introduced: “Ladies and gentlemen, who among you could have imagined that Qing Xiaotu, after struggling for 20 minutes in the previous round, would knock down his opponent in such a coincidental manner?”
“Guess, how long will he last this time? Will he fall under the fists of the Lightweight Boxing King Yan Yu next, or will he step over the Golden Belt of the Lightweight Boxing King and move on to the next round?”
However, in the next instant, as the referee exited the Octagon cage, Qing Chen suddenly burst forth like a ferocious tiger, and before the Lightweight Boxing King Yan Yu could even react, he rushed forward, crouched, and landed a punch right on the crotch.
“Ah! Fuck!”
The host’s voice was still echoing in the venue when the match had already ended…
The gamblers who had placed bets on Qing Chen falling in the second fight were furious, tossing their tickets into the arena like snowflakes.
Suddenly, a white Great Snow descended upon the boxing venue.
In the private room, Li Yinuo quickly added, “But a conservative fighting style consumes a lot of stamina, and ultimately he’s going to face opponents from the Tiger Grade, who are all retired soldiers from the military and might not fall for it. So I believe he’ll aim for a quick victory!”
XiaoTongyun and Nan Gengchen both turned to look at her, speechless.
Li Yinuo’s face also struggled to maintain composure as she grumbled softly, “Did this kid take a stimulant or something? Why did he suddenly change his tactics?!”
Nevertheless, her post-facto analysis actually lined up with what Qing Chen was thinking.
Qing Chen knew that the boxers he was facing were battle-hardened. The audience might think that the recent groin hit was a fluke, but Tiger Grade Boxers definitely wouldn’t see it that way.
So rather than continue wasting energy, he’d rather get it over with quickly and move on to the Tiger Grade as soon as possible.
At that moment, Qing Chen turned to the referee: “No need for a break, bring in the Lightweight right away.”
With that, he zipped down his sports jacket all the way.
All the spectators silently watched the young man in the Octagon cage take off his sports jacket, then reveal the perfect muscle lines on his body, lean and ferocious.
Each muscle was as solid as steel.
Wow! The audience in the boxing venue all exclaimed in admiration, having originally thought that Qing Chen was just handsome but ineffective in a fight.
But now, seeing him effortlessly take out the Lightweight Boxing King and sporting that muscular physique, it was clear that they had underestimated him—he had been playing possum!
Qing Chen looked towards the host: “No break, let’s continue, is that okay?”
The host hurriedly glanced towards the stands at the voluptuous woman in a gold dress who nodded slightly.
“Ladies and gentlemen, at the request of Qing Xiaotu, we have decided to accelerate the pace of the ranking match. Now, let’s welcome the Lightweight Boxer Liu Rufeng. I believe that all spectators who bought tickets tonight will feel that it was worth it. Tonight, we might witness the birth of a new boxing champion,” said the host.
As Liu Rufeng made his entrance, the host continued to shout excitedly, “Is there any audience who witnessed the rise of Boxing King Afan last year? Looking at this young boxer, Qing Xiaotu, it’s like a dream returning to those days…”
“That night, it was also so sudden…”
“Ah! Damn it!”
Just as the host said this, another cry of pain from a fighter echoed behind him.
He turned around to see Liu Rufeng, the lightweight boxer, already clutching his groin, barely able to stand.
“That’s really sudden,” the host remarked.
Qing Chen looked at him, “Next.”
Upon hearing this, the host quickly said, “The competition has reached a critical turn, and now, please welcome Middleweight Boxing King Zhou Mo… What? Zhou Mo returned the appearance fee and forfeited the match!?”
The host unwittingly repeated the message from his earpiece aloud.
For a moment, the audience in the boxing arena was stunned—during the new fighter classification match, a Middleweight Boxing King forfeited?
Zhou Mo! Zhou Mo actually forfeited!
This situation had never been encountered before!
Gradually, everyone realized what was happening… Zhou Mo was afraid to fight!
The audience in the boxing arena numbered nearly ten thousand. At first, there was silence, and then in the next instant, it turned into an uproar.
The noisy sounds seemed almost to lift the roof off.
Li Yinuo stood silently in the private room, watching. She wondered if it had been the same grand scene when Uncle Li and that Uncle Chen Jiazhang had participated in boxing matches years ago.
Knight.
It seemed that with the Knight name, one was destined to become one of the protagonists of this world.
Under normal circumstances, classification matches for new fighters were already rare, happening only every few months.
Thus, boxers usually didn’t stay at the boxing arena waiting for a challenge as fighters and boxing arenas had a cooperative relationship; the arena couldn’t just summon them at will.
The other boxers present were there for their own matches, and having just finished a fight, they couldn’t possibly enter the ring again.
Zhou Mo was urgently contacted by the boxing arena, and an appearance fee was paid to have him rush over.
However, no sooner had Zhou Mo entered the arena and before he had even changed his clothes, he saw Qing Chen dominating Liu Rufeng, the lightweight boxer, with an overwhelming performance.
As a seasoned fighter, he quickly understood that this young man named Qing Xiaotu was aiming for a complete victory.
That was clearly the speed of an E-Class Superhuman.
In the past, even if Zhou Mo knew his opponent was definitely stronger than him, he would still fight if the boxing arena offered a sufficient appearance fee, as getting hit wasn’t really a big deal.
But this young man was too vicious in his attacks.
He couldn’t afford to take a beating like that!
Next to the woman dressed in a golden gown, who was devilishly charming, someone asked in a low voice, “What do we do now, boss?”
With keen interest, the woman watched the young man in the octagon cage, “He’s really good-looking. Our boxing arena has finally got a real cash cow!”
“Boss?” her subordinate asked, puzzled.
“Arrange for Tiger Grade Huang Zixian to fight him,” the woman said with a smile. “Tonight is his night of fame; it needs to be complete.”
The subordinate was taken aback, “Huang Zixian is currently challenging for the Tiger Grade Boxing King, and he’s in peak condition. Boss, are you sure about having Huang Zixian fight him? Aren’t you afraid something might go wrong?”
The logic was simple: seeing the young man in the octagon about to gather massive popularity, one should just arrange a slightly weaker Tiger Grade fighter for him to ensure a smooth victory.
That way, the image of the new boxing prodigy would be established.
If Huang Zixian were to enter the ring, it was uncertain whether the young man could win, and if he lost, that would be a big problem—few fans are eager to follow a loser.
The woman just smiled, “What do you know? Defeating Huang Zixian means there’s no fluke. I need a real cash cow, not a fake.”

More to come tonight, can’t stop until I’ve finished writing this segment, off to grab a bite.
