Chapter 92: Tall Boy and Thick Arms
Zhang Nianzu scratched his head and asked, "Should I be in charge of this?"
"Nonsense, why do you think we went through so much trouble to save you? Isn't it just to save you some trouble?"
Zhang Nianzu said: "What if I don't care?"
"If you don't care--" Liu Laoliu rolled his eyes and said, "Then we won't care either. It's you strongmen who will be harmed anyway."
"What's the meaning?"
Liu Laoliu chuckled and said, "Think about it, if everyone in the world knew about your species, you would be more valuable than pandas. You can jump high, run fast, and heal quickly after being injured. There would be many people who want to use you and study you. How could you be better than all of humanity? How did so many animals become extinct? Not because humans hate them, but because humans like them!"
Zhang Nianzu asked: "Are you threatening me?"
Liu Laoliu said: "You decide for yourself. Your ancestors' rules are like this. Don't you want to think about why?"
Zhuge Daofeng said indignantly: "It is unfair to other contestants for people like you to participate in the competition. Are you worthy of their sweat and hard work?"
Zhang Nianzu said: "Although we are the strongman race, we are also human beings."
Xiahou Pili said: "Cats and cheetahs are both felines. Is it fair to let them race together? From a certain perspective, the strongmen are not human at all."
Lei Tingting smiled and said, "I don't agree with you. Sports competitions are inherently unfair. Those players have the best talents and physical conditions, and then they are trained. For ordinary people, no matter how hard they work in their lives, they can't make up for their lack of talent. To put it bluntly, isn't the competition a competition between the best?"
Zhuge Daofeng was choked so much that his eyes turned white. Finally, he said helplessly: "You are making trouble."
Zhang Nianzu waved his hand and said, "I will definitely take care of this matter if it is my responsibility." He asked Liu Laoliu, "Are you sure that this 'steel fork' is a warrior from our Qiangren tribe?"
Liu Laoliu said, "It's probably true. He probably knows the rules of the clan very well, so he has been sneaking around underground. If he has nothing to hide, why doesn't he participate in those large-scale competitions that bring both fame and fortune? Boxing championships are so popular now."
Zhang Nianzu said: "That is to say, you can't be 100% sure. You should be careful about this kind of thing, okay? Don't let others sweat in vain. Don't think that a person is a cheetah just because he runs fast. What if he is just a cat with special talents?"
Liu Laoliu said, "It's basically certain. If you want to prove it, I don't mind. Gangcha has a competition tonight. How about we go and watch it together?"
Zhang Nianzu thought for a moment and said, "I'm free anyway, so I might as well go out and have some fun."
"It's good to have some fun..." Liu Laoliu muttered, "Do you know how much a ticket costs? Fifteen thousand! It's more expensive to see this guy than to see Jacky Cheung. Blade, book tickets per person."
…
As night fell, Liu Laoliu led everyone to the underground garage of an office building. There was a sign "Basement Closed" at the entrance. A burly man was guarding the door. Liu Laoliu showed the invitation code on his mobile phone and handed over a stack of money. The man counted the money and let everyone in.
In the basement, a ring stood out in the middle. There were some laser lights installed on the roof. Apart from that, there were men with excited expressions. Outside, there were people selling alcohol and cigarettes. The atmosphere here could only be described as "smoky and lively."
Liu Laoliu looked at his watch and said, "It will start soon."
Before he finished speaking, a flashy host jumped onto the stage and shouted the opening remarks at the top of his voice, introducing the two contestants. One of the two contestants was nicknamed Tyrannosaurus and the other was nicknamed King Kong, both of them were muscular men with scars all over their bodies and fierce looks. At this time, uniformed security guards filed in, shouting out the odds of the next game, and people began to place bets...
Lei Tingting asked in surprise: "Where is the steel fork?"
Someone nearby saw that it was a pretty girl asking the question, and immediately said, "Is this your first time here? How could the steel fork appear so early? The ones before that were just for show."
The match started and the two men started fighting each other. There was no protection in this kind of match, and no boxing gloves were worn. There were no clear prohibitions on the moves. Whoever fell to the ground lost. The two men hit each other with bangs, and soon the blood on their faces splashed onto the audience in front. The people who had placed bets and were anxious to determine the winner were stimulated and roared even more fiercely.
Liu Laoliu came up to Zhang Nianzu and said, "Why don't you buy a few tickets? People are willing to spend such expensive tickets to come in to win money."
Zhang Nianzu shook his head and smiled, "I'm an outsider in this area, so I won't get involved."
When Ah San and Ah Si heard this, they immediately shouted, "We are experts at fighting!"
Zhuge Daofeng sneered and said, "Who do you think will win this game?"
"Tyrannosaurus!"
"King Kong!"
Ah San and Ah Si shouted out at the same time, but they were calling out completely different boxers' names.
Zhuge Daofeng's expression changed, and he asked Li Asi, "Tell me why you said King Kong will win?"
Li Ah Si pointed at the stage and said, "That King Kong is so big..."
Zhuge Daofeng was immediately disappointed and asked, "That's it?"
Li Ah Si said, "When people fight, isn't it usually the bigger one who wins?"
Li Asan snorted coldly: "Childish!"
Zhuge Daofeng turned to him and said, "Then tell me why you chose Tyrannosaurus?"
Li Asan pouted coldly and said, "The Tyrannosaurus has thick arms. Normally, when people fight, the one with thicker arms wins."
Then the two men immediately started arguing, and each brought up the example of someone in the east of the village who was the best among the three soldiers because of his tall stature, and someone in the west of the village who was the boss because of his thick arms.
Zhuge Daofeng turned his head and exchanged a caring look with Xiahou Pili.
Liu Laoliu took out a stack of money and handed it to Zhuge Daofeng, saying, "Daofeng, win some for me."
As the game progressed, the odds kept changing, but because Tyrannosaurus and King Kong were at similar levels, the odds remained at a 1:1 level. Zhuge Daofeng firmly placed all his money on King Kong, and then he analyzed calmly: "From the frequency of King Kong's nostrils opening and closing, his physical strength is better than Tyrannosaurus, and from the level of his muscle rebound, his ability to withstand blows is also stronger than his opponent. As long as nothing unexpected happens, King Kong will definitely win in the end."
Xiahou Pili nodded and said, "It's the same as my judgment."
The two men fought on the stage for another three or two minutes, and Tyrannosaurus was exhausted and fell to the ground after being hit by a heavy punch from King Kong.
Zhuge Daofeng calmly took the money handed over by the security guard and looked at Ah San and Ah Si with contempt.
Li Asi didn't care at all. He excitedly grabbed Li Asan's shoulders and shook him, shouting, "See? Whoever is taller wins."
Li Asan was speechless, and finally said: "Next time, it's your turn."
As soon as the second match started, Li Asan and Li Asi were both smiling happily. It turned out that one of the two boxers was very short and the other was very tall. Without hesitation, the two men collected all the money they had and bet on the taller boxer.
At the beginning of the match, the short boxer made a tentative sweeping kick on the tall boxer's leg. Perhaps because of his height and calcium deficiency, the tall boxer's legs bent and he fell forward, never to stand up again...
In the audience, Ah San and Ah Si, who were still waiting to celebrate their victory, had frozen expressions on their faces. Li Ah San angrily said, “I said the one with thicker arms will win!”
Li Ah Si was dissatisfied and said, "What about the last one?"
Li Asan thought for a moment and said, "I see. The arm of the Tyrannosaurus Rex was not as thick as King Kong's, but it was swollen, so it misled us."
Li Ah Si thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he said, "Then let's see who has the stronger arm."
