Chapter 138: Mind Your Own Business with Beautiful Girls!
"I said Kiana..."
Jiang Ming and the other two followed Kiana who was looking around constantly, because the beautiful dresses and looks of the three girls attracted countless people's attention. Jiang Ming felt uncomfortable as if something of his was stolen.
"Although we are not interested in the game consoles mentioned above, you just said you would take us to an interesting place, but now five minutes have passed--"
"We're almost there—"
"This is the third time you've said this."
"It's here!"
Kiana seemed to have found her target and walked quickly to a distance. Jiang Ming followed her steps and looked over.
"Boxing machine? That's it?"
Jiang Ming couldn't help but reveal a hint of a sneer at the corner of his mouth. After all, let's not talk about other people for now—
Even without using Honkai energy, Jiang Ming felt that his current attack could shatter the shell of an emperor-level Honkai beast that could only be destroyed by anti-tank rockets.
"Hehehe, it's not specifically to test the power of a punch."
Kiana seemed to have guessed Jiang Ming's inner thoughts long ago, and she put her hands on her hips and explained to them why she brought them here.
"This is it!"
Kiana pointed with her right hand at the eye-catching title painted on the wall, but Jiang Ming was too lazy to look at it. He thought it should be about boxing and getting rewards.
"Forget about Mei and Bronya, Jiang Ming, as my best friend and rival, you must help me!"
"ha--?"
"If you just want the first place prize, it would be easy for you to get it, right, Kiana?"
"In that case, why did you call me? Do you want to get the second place prize as well?"
Jiang Ming looked at Kiana's persistent eyes and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Seeing this, Kiana put her mouth close to Jiang Ming's ear, and while observing Mei and Bronya, she whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Hey, Jiang Ming, it's not too late for you to go and take a look at the rewards first..."
"Okay, okay~ Let me see, let me see......"
Jiang Ming's voice stopped abruptly, and the reward under the title made Jiang Ming's pupils shrink instantly.
【Boxing Bounty】
[First place: Cosplay free coupon (for four people)]
[Second place: Free coupon for premium buffet (for four persons)]
【Third place:?】
Don’t look at the third one? It may seem like a lot at first glance, but in fact it is the currency of the Far East. If converted into the currency of China, it is less than 1000￥.
What’s important is the rewards for first and second place!
I don’t know whether the organizer took the families of the first and second place winners into consideration or for some other reason and specially prepared tickets for four people, but this challenge is definitely tailor-made for them!
Jiang Ming, who was originally worrying about what to eat for dinner, now instantly had a goal. And not only that, the reward for first place made him very excited.
As I said earlier, in this large-scale gaming center, even Cosplay is possible. It has a special venue, and as long as you pay enough deposit, you can try on clothes and collect stamps at will.
So as long as you don’t damage your clothes, there’s no problem!
There seemed to be fire in the eyes of Jiang Ming and Kiana. Their momentum reached its peak at this moment. There seemed to be yellow flames and white arcs burning and flashing around them.
Jiang Ming/Qiana: "We must get it!"
"What happened to the two of them?"
"Maybe some special bloodline in my body has awakened (? ? ?)"
"Kiana, let's go!"
"Oh!"
.......
The boxing machine was packed with people, and from time to time there were enthusiastic cheers, sorrowful regrets, or jokes asking the opponent to leave the field quickly. It seemed that the reward was indeed very attractive.
Jiang Ming and Qiyana walked to the boxing machine and found that the ranking had appeared on the screen next to it.
【First place: 208KG】
【Second place: 156KG】
【Third place: 126KG】
"Not a bad score—"
Jiang Ming sighed softly when he saw the number above. At the same time, a low and proud voice came from behind his left.
"Right? Not everyone can punch more than 200 kilograms."
Jiang Ming turned his head and saw a tall man about 180 cm tall standing behind him. Although tall, he was not burly. Jiang Ming looked at him casually. The man had thick arms, well-proportioned muscles, and a steady posture. There was a hint of sharpness and pride between his brows. It seemed that he was a martial artist.
“Isn’t this brother a local?”
Jiang Ming asked first with a chuckle. The man was quite open-minded. After laughing a few times, he spoke in a bold tone.
"Haha, of course, I'm from Shenzhou. After all, there are too few powerful people to find in a small place like the Far East."
"But the one standing next to you right now is the top of this boxing machine!"
But Jiang Ming shook his head slowly when he heard this, with a sharp flash in his eyes, and then he spoke in a low voice.
"It's possible that there are no strong people in the Far East, but you just can't see most of them. As the saying goes, if you don't make a sound, you will be amazing once you do."
"Haha, so what? As far as I know, the top individual combat power in this world is the Valkyrie of Destiny. This place in the Far East is indeed a branch of Destiny, but how could they have time to come here?"
"........"
Seeing that Jiang Ming didn't say anything, the man confirmed his inner thoughts and suddenly made a suggestion.
"Oh, by the way, judging from your words and actions, you are also from Shenzhou, right? Instead of just saying that, why don't you prove it to me directly, little brother?"
"It just so happens that most of the people present here know their own limitations and don't dare to fight. Oh, by the way, I heard that this boxing machine can withstand a maximum force of 3000 kg, so don't hold back, little brother."
Jiang Ming ignored the slightly gloomy tone and instead called Kiana to discuss the order with her and reminded her in a low voice not to use Honkai energy.
"Kiana, you first or me?"
"Then it must be me first! Look how I got the first place in no time!"
Kiana walked impatiently to the empty boxing machine, took the gloves handed to her by the staff, put in a coin, got into position, and waited for the round to begin. At the same time, there were shouts of surprise from the people around her.
"Little sister really doesn't mind talking big!"
"Don't be like that, maybe he really has some real skills."
"Stop kidding me. Even 100 is too much."
"At least he has the courage. Would you dare if it were you?"
"Drink————!!"
Kiana shouted and swung her gloved right hand to hit the boxing machine. The target marked on the punching point instantly sank and a deafening hitting sound broke out.
boom--! ! !
The loud explosion brought the booing noises from the surroundings to an abrupt halt, and everyone present fixed their eyes on the scoring screen of the boxing machine.
100
200
300
......
1000
2000
The scorer kept flashing and there was no sign of stopping. After a while, the number finally stopped at 2999 kilograms!
"..."
There was complete silence all around, and the only sound that could be heard was the sound of people swallowing due to nervousness.
In their eyes, including the one behind Jiang Ming, who was ranked first five minutes ago, everyone was filled with shock and their hearts were filled with turmoil!
“What the…what the fuck—?!!”
"What...what is this-?! 2999?! Am I blind, or is the machine broken?"
"No normal person can take this punch, right?!"
"There's a woman who's boxing for the first time, with strength that can move mountains and power that can overwhelm the world?!"
But the beautiful girl who delivered this amazing punch did not seem satisfied with it. Instead, she complained indignantly.
"Ahh~, why is that? I was so close to breaking 3,000, but I didn't use enough strength?"
Kiana looked at the staff beside her with resentful eyes.
"It must be this glove that is hindering my attack. Can you try again?"
"ha--?!"
Meanwhile, bystanders who heard this chattered among themselves.
"Hey, hey, I remember that the force is mutual, right? If it weren't for the protection of this glove, would her hand still be there?"
"Stop interfering in the affairs of beautiful girls!"
Although he had expected this, Jiang Ming still didn't expect it to cause such a big commotion. He quickly walked to Kiana's side, lowered his head and spoke softly.
"Okay, Kiana, stop causing trouble for others. Hurry up and leave immediately after I punch you again. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if you are targeted."
"Oh, okay—"
Knowing that this was not the time to act unreasonably, although Kiana felt that her punch was nothing, she could tell from the expressions of the people around her that it was pretty much the same.
If I really get called out for this matter, my chance to watch Mei's cosplay costume will be ruined.
After handing the gloves to Jiang Ming, Kiana stood obediently next to Mei.
"That number just now must have been an error on the boxing machine, right?"
"You are stupid! If it was really a mistake, how could you make such a loud noise? He must be a martial arts expert!"
"But no matter what, 2999 is too much, right? The second place only got over 200!"
"..."
"Shh, stop talking, someone else is coming up."
"Huh?! It's already 2999, and there's still someone who dares to come up?"
"It seems that he is in the same group with that white-haired girl."
"......"
Although they really wanted to figure out why such terrifying power suddenly erupted from the body of this seemingly frail white-haired beauty, since Jiang Ming seemed to be in cahoots with her, they turned their attention to the seemingly ordinary Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming's eyes were sharp and his face was gloomy, but this made his appearance look even more handsome.
He got into position and performed the opening move of Taixu Sword Qi [Start the Sword and Split the Sky]. The people around him held their breath when they saw this move, but Jiang Ming did not choose to wear boxing gloves, and the others did not notice this, or rather, they did not care at all.
Jiang Ming then retracted two of the five fingers of his left hand and performed the sword-guarding stance [Youlan] to offset the aftereffect of his next attack.
Whoosh!
boom---!!!
Jiang Ming threw out his right fist fiercely, hitting the fist site, and the cushion instantly dented again and exploded with a sound far louder than the previous explosion, the sound was so loud that it even made people cover their ears and close their eyes unconsciously.
And that punch was exactly [Open Sword·Landslide]!
Compared with the ferocity of the sword moves, this punch caused more real damage. It was no exaggeration to say that even if an ordinary emperor-level Honkai beast encountered this punch, it would not be killed, but it would definitely be stunned for a moment. After all... Jiang Ming had not used the Honkai energy yet.
This is a strike that relies entirely on physical strength. In the current world, apart from him, Fu Hua, and Youlandel, there are probably few people who can do this.
The score counter flashed again, but when everyone opened their eyes and hadn't seen the final score yet, they were surprised to find that the boxing machine was terribly damaged and was smoking slightly, and the score on the screen naturally turned black.
"This...this guest, you..."
The staff standing by were shocked beyond words. The boxing machine that could withstand a ton of force was now scrapped. Instead of getting angry, they should think of ways to protect themselves first.
Jiang Ming couldn't help but frown when he saw the boxing machine emitting black smoke, and then he realized that he seemed to have made things worse. After a moment of thought, he turned to the staff, looked very sorry and whispered.
"I'm very sorry, sir. I really didn't expect that the blow just now would destroy this boxing machine."
While apologizing, Jiang Ming took out an ID from his pocket and handed it to the staff.
"I am Tianming... a small character. I will do my best to compensate you. Now, let's talk aside."
Then, Jiang Ming winked at Kiana and the others and took them and the staff who were still shocked that Jiang Ming handed him his ID card to his manager's office. The bystanders naturally did not dare to follow and they talked to each other.
"Oh my god, I was wondering how come he is so powerful, it turns out he is the man of destiny... But, a minor character?"
"You don't understand this, don't you? That guy is obviously from Shenzhou. Shenzhou people value humility. Although they say they are small characters, they are actually more awesome than the other."
"But I remember that the destiny is usually a Valkyrie, right?"
"Well, who cares? Besides, this is not something we can discuss. Those girls should be the Valkyries of the Far East Branch, and that guy is probably their superior. Hearing such things today really opened my eyes."
"Yeah, it's way ahead of the third place."
.......
"I'm sorry, sir. It was our negligence that we failed to ensure the quality of the boxing machine. I'm sorry to have spoiled your fun."
The manager in charge here apologized to Jiang Ming with a flattering look on his face.
"This is the reward for the first and second place. Please keep it. Also, please..."
"Haha, don't be nervous. I don't feel anything bad. I am naturally quite satisfied with your service attitude. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
"Haha, that's good, that's good. I'm really glad that I didn't disturb your mood."
"Well, in that case, there are people waiting for me outside, so I'll leave first."
"Hey, okay, okay, take care!"
Jiang Ming smiled and nodded, then turned and left the room. The manager finally couldn't hide his emotion anymore, and slumped in his chair in a cold sweat, feeling lucky that nothing happened.
......
"Sorry for keeping you waiting."
Jiang Ming shook the spoils he and Kiana had obtained in his hand and said with a smile on his face.
"We will be busy next."
