Chapter 52: A Narrow Victory
Gradually, the other party's struggle began to weaken. But for Xia Lian, the lesson of stopping easily before, made him unwilling and afraid to show any mercy, and still locked up the man.
Finally, the man began to slap the ground desperately, and the staff outside the arena immediately rushed to the ring and quickly separated the two.
While there are few rules of the game in the ring and no referees, slapping the ground means surrender and can also make the difference between victory and defeat.
Even in the underground boxing world, the person in charge definitely does not want a fatality to happen. The audience erupted in applause and cheers, most of them lamented the excitement of the game, and some cursed for betting on the wrong person.
Of course, Xia Lian, as a newcomer who appeared for the first time, obviously did not receive too much attention, and most of the bettors bet on the opponent's boxer, causing Xia Lian's multiplier to become extremely high, so those who won were naturally very happy.
"Wowha, Lao Chen, you're quite good at picking people. In the VIP private room at the top of the audience, the gray-haired old man smiled excitedly and said: "I just wanted to play casually and not report any hope of winning, but that kid was quite competitive!" The man in the suit also pretended to be angry and took a sip of wine and complained: "Damn! That kid can do it, it's okay to take so many hits." Lao Chen, where did you find it?"
"I'm looking for someone based on my feelings! Fate is guiding!" Chen Zhantian said modestly and casually.
"Act, you will continue to act!" The man in the suit made an expression of envy and jealousy: "Look at your hands, one Lu Chengfeng and one Yang Xiaomu have fought almost half of Yuzhou City without meeting an opponent." If you go to professional boxing next year, it will be enough for you to make a lot of money. It is estimated that at that time, you would rely on this gym and a few fighters, and the annual profit would be millions. ”
"How can it be so exaggerated!" Chen Zhantian also said modestly: "I'll just develop a side business and hold a boxing match for everyone's entertainment." Do you think professional boxing is so easy to fight? The water is so much deeper than mine. The old man on the side also said: "Lao Chen, the quality of your subordinates is really good, if I have a boxing match in the future, you have to borrow my people." ”
"If Brother Zhu wants it, give me an order, I will immediately send someone over to help you play, what's the matter!" Chen Zhantian said very boldly.
In the ring, after the staff separated the two, Xia Lian relaxed his body and lay down in the ring very comfortably.
"Hey, you've already won, can you still get up?" Lu Chengfeng asked casually with a smile that seemed to be not a smile, and even kicked Xia Lian lightly.
Xia Lian didn't say anything, and after taking a few big breaths, he smirked.
"What's the smirk, okay, get up, there's a second game here in a while!" Lu Chengfeng said and helped Xia Lian up.
Walking towards the backstage passage, there were still many people in the audience cheering excitedly at him.
"This feels really good!" Xia Lian said to himself with a smile.
"To be honest, I really didn't expect you to win so quickly. Lu Chengfeng said lightly: "I thought that you would have to be beaten to the extreme before you narrowly won." ”
"I used your moves. Xia Lian smiled: "That trick naked choke is quite useful." ”
"You're a fast learner. Lu Chengfeng still said expressionlessly: "I finally know now why Brother Tian picked you, and he agreed to arrange a boxing match for you so quickly." ”
"Why?" Xia Lian asked curiously.
"At first, I thought it was just because you could fight, but now I realize that you are very talented. ”
"Wow, the evaluation is so high!" Xia Lian said with some excitement: "So, I can compete for a long time?"
"This, it depends on Brother Tian's arrangement. Lu Chengfeng said: "It is not so simple to arrange a boxing match, and it is impossible to have a competition every day. ”
"What about you? How many games have you played since the beginning. Xia Lian continued to ask curiously.
"I've been practicing for now, and in the past three years, I've fought dozens of martial arts matches. I don't want to be like this all the time, though. Lu Chengfeng said this, and a trace of yearning flashed in his eyes.
"Then what do you want to do?" Facing Xia Lian's continued curiosity, Lu Chengfeng didn't reply again, and after taking Xia Lian into the lounge, he handed him a bottle of medicine and said, "Take a bath, and then apply some medicine to the injured area." Brother Tian will come to you in a moment. After saying that, he left without looking back.
"This guy always looks like he doesn't smile, is it cool?" Xia Lian said secretly in his heart.
"Others don't necessarily pretend to be cool, maybe they really have that kind of personality?" the voice in his head suddenly remembered.
"Why did you get out?"
"I've been there all along, and I can feel the pain in the game just now. Are you really going to keep fighting?"
"What are you hurting? I've taken on most of the pain, okay? This is a good way for us to make money, why don't we fight?"
"Hey, play this game, kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred. ”
"Don't talk nonsense! What Lao Tzu used to receive has finally come in handy now, what else am I worried about. ”
"All right!" the other voice disagreed. Xia Lian turned on the hot water, so that the tired and aching body ushered in a comfortable and warm baptism.
After taking a shower and applying medicinal wine, the pain in my body has been reduced a lot, which is also due to my strong ability to resist blows.
If you come up with the same novice, it is estimated that you will have to lie in bed for half a month to recover from such an injury.
Just as Xia Lian began to think about when he would be able to get the money for the boxing match, the door of the lounge was pushed open, and Chen Zhantian's voice came in: "Boy, let me come to see how you are?"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Xia Lian pounded his chest with his fist with a nonchalant expression.
Chen Zhantian looked at his face, which was still a little red and swollen, and said with a faint smile: "You are really a bone essence." As he spoke, he took out a pile of hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to Xia Lian: "The remuneration for this competition is a total of 10,000 yuan, you can order it." ”
"10,000?" Xia Lian couldn't believe it: "Didn't you say that the appearance fee was 1,500 and the prize money was 2,000 if you won, how could there be 10,000?"
"What's too much, then you can give it to me. Chen Zhantian smiled and stretched out his hand.
"No, no, no, you give it to me, I still want it. Xia Lian hurriedly put the money back in his pocket, and because he saw that Chen Zhantian was talking more casually, his conversation with him also became casual.
"But I'm curious if every boxing fight has some extra income. Xia Lian asked with a cheeky smile.
"In addition to the appearance fee and prize money for each boxing match, the remaining money is a commission for live bets. If someone bets more, or if you have high odds, you get more money. It's just that the money is not fixed, only the appearance fee and bonus are fixed. Chen Zhantian roughly explained.
"Oh......" Xia Lian sighed and nodded, and then asked, "Then when is my next game?"
