Chapter 1: The Princess of the Desert

Next Chapter

Three rows of scorching incandescent lights illuminate the largest stadium in Sands Cotai in the middle, and the hall is buzzing with people, with purple spotlights roaming among the crowded seats. It was the final quarter of the youth bout of the country's most beloved Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Grand Prix, the country's most beloved Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Grand Prix, a genre that excelled in joint grappling and won three consecutive belts at the world's first true martial arts tournament in '92.

Audience A: "The result of this game is too obvious, isn't it?!" The blue side is so thin, how can it be the opponent of the big fat man on the red side! ”

Mike said, "Not necessarily, uncle. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is all about four or two thousand pounds. ”

Tall and strong spectator A squinted at the little man sitting next to him—about 16 or 7 years old, with very white skin, not tall but quite muscular. He smiled and said, "Little friend, according to what you say, you can also be a jiu-jitsu player~"

He laughed.

"I'm a jiu-jitsu fighter, uncle." Mike replied in the affirmative

Audience A burst into laughter when he heard this. "Hahahaha... Kid, it seems that you have a humorous germ that just doesn't care about being old, just trying to make me laugh down. ”

Mike smiled awkwardly: It's okay, hehe...

Audience B pulled A and shouted: "You pull down, Blue is thin and tall, and that is the youngest son of the king of Shata. has strength and background, he is the favorite to win the championship this year. I pulled you over to watch the game with me, don't chat nonsense, it's about to start, watch the game seriously!

Mike and Uncle looked at each other awkwardly, and then both watched the game intently. As soon as the bell rang, the big fat man on the red side pounced on the blue side. BLU quickly dodges sideways. But Red still didn't give up three times in a row, forcing Blue into a corner. In the youth group, the big man of 1.78 meters on the blue side is already rare, but the red side is still a full head shorter when he meets tonight. Because he has an altitude of 1.89 meters and is nicknamed "Iron Tower", the Rhodes national player - Rolba. When it was too late, Rolba quickly grabbed the left cuff of the blue side with a large hand (grabbing the cuff and collar of his opponent in judo was half the battle). Blue quickly leaned back towards the rope, and after making space, his left arm immediately threw back vigorously, breaking free of control. But Rolba is not a vegetarian either, he saw that the moment the blue side was bounced back by the rope, he grabbed the armpit position, locked the blue side tightly in his arms with both hands, and wanted to make a 360-degree waist throw, but when he lifted the opponent halfway, he couldn't lift it up, it turned out that the blue side cleverly hooked his left calf with the instep of his right foot to use his gravity. At this moment, he was like he wanted to lift himself up, it was impossible. Seeing this, Rolba was furious and tried to smash Blue on the ground. But at the moment when he bent over, one of his hands was locked in a Marseille-like movement with his legs, and the moment he landed, another beautiful Kimura lock (an arm grappling technique created by a man named Kimura) was completed. Rolba struggled in pain for 3 seconds before conceding defeat. Blue Fang quickly got to his feet, his head bowed and his fist raised in the air.

Suddenly, the gymnasium was like a frying pan, shouts and cheers came and went, and the commentator was hoarse and explained the technical points and wonderful moments in the audience. Although there was no urine spot in this game, it was indeed too short. As if they wanted to vent their passion that they hadn't seen enough, the audience shouted hoarsely: Casey! Kathy! Kathy!...

Every wonderful night in the world, there are always a few not-so-wonderful people around the wonderful world, but they can't fit in. Tonight, Mike is one of them. Due to misremembering the date of the match, Oolong booked the previous day's plane ticket early. Although the air ticket is subsidized by the government and the accommodation is reimbursed by the organizer, the original plan was to go and return on the same day, so his mother just gave him pocket money for three meals (also blame the price of Sands Cotai is really high). Luckily, the event offers free admission and free mineral water per person (in the desert, this is a luxury). Unfortunately, Mike didn't know this, and he took 5 more water when he heard that it was free, because he thought that he would have to eat at least two meals for tomorrow's game, and he would only be able to eat one meal today. But the amount of food is not small, and he can't help but eat a meal at noon, so now he can only drink more water. (Ignore the disdainful, disdainful and helpless eyes of the little brother looking at the athlete's badge on Mike's chest)

Mike dragged his "weak" body from the gymnasium to the hotel, and the road was sparsely packed with crowds, and the shadows of tall palm branches on both sides were stretched on the asphalt by the street lamps. The sky was starry and cloudless. Mike stopped unconsciously, because he had never seen such a beautiful starry sky so clearly. His homeland, Islam, is a small country rich in minerals, and the sky is always gray, like the front windshield of a car that is not driven all year round, and no matter how much you use the wipers, you can't clean it. As for why the desert, which was the most unsuitable place for human habitation, has now become a small piece of paradise for the stars, he has not had time to think deeply.

Buzz...

With the deafening sound of the motor, a streamlined black motorcycle rushed from behind, followed by a beautiful swing brake, and stopped in front of Mike. McSet his eyes and saw that a tall woman in a black one-piece tight leather coat got out of the car unhurriedly, she took off her hard hat, and her waist-length hair naturally fell down.

"You're quite kind of to study my brother's game." She said

"You are..." Mike asked, confused

"It seems that you don't have enough information. I'm Casey's sister, the princess of Shata, Eva. ”

"You may have recognized the wrong person, I don't seem to know you... Monk McZhang replied confusedly

"Although you are the player with the least information in the top 8, I think you can meet the same criteria: from the country of Islam, height (said and looked at it)... The self-proclaimed 170-pound, 130-pound weight player, who has followed his sister to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the police since childhood, should be the only one! ”

"Fortunately, my name is Mike." Mike said as he stepped forward to shake hands. (Later, whenever Mike remembers the scene of the first time he saw Eva, he always regrets it, because he never understands why he came up to shake hands stupidly!) In the end, he had to blame it on the troublemaker of "First Time Abroad Syndrome")

Michael's abrupt movement made the already domineering Eva instinctively take a step back, and immediately kept a safe distance from him. Mike reacted immediately when he saw this, and his whole body was embarrassed like a drink carton that had been sucked dry-dried together.

Eva immediately cleared her throat and said, "It seems that my previous worries are unnecessary, you will not be my brother's opponent, hehe." But you are still welcome to visit Shata City, I hope you can have a pleasant weekend, 88~" After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the motorcycle.

"Beauty~ Such a beautiful motorcycle, how about taking your brothers for a ride around the city?" Out of nowhere, three scoundrels stand next to Eva's motorcycle. One of the men in the floral shirt wanted to reach for Eva's shoulder. At that moment, Mike strode forward, grabbing his wrist with one hand and the collar with the other. Just heard the sound of "pop", a beautiful 'back throw', and the man in the flower shirt had fallen to the ground and was circled.

"You're impatient, boy!" As he spoke, the thug with the red explosive head on his head pulled out a bright folding knife and rushed towards Mike.

"Be careful!" Eva grabbed the explosive head with both hands and pulled the right hand holding the knife down with both hands, and at the same time stretched out her left leg and tripped up, and the explosive head really swooped down to the ground. There was one last plaid shirt left, and Mike and Eva were eyeing him at the same time. Suddenly, the plaid shirt was like a little white rabbit gnawing grass near the entrance of the cave, and when he heard the grass moving, he ran away. When I ran a certain distance, I faintly heard "You guys wait. "I'm going to call someone." and so on.

Eva put on her helmet, stepped on the motorcycle, stepped on the accelerator and said to Mike: "Come on, I'll take you back to the hotel designated by the athletes." I don't want my brother to miss out on a good opponent. ”

Mike jumped on the motorcycle without thinking too much, as soon as Eva stepped on the accelerator, Mike immediately felt the feeling of pushing back with 500CC horsepower, but at this time there was no chair back for him to lean on, he instinctively wanted to hug Eva's waist in front of him, but just as his hands were about to hug Eva, the embarrassing scene just now instantly poured into Mike's mind. He hurriedly clasped his hands on his knees and bent hard to maintain the balance against the wind.

In the blink of an eye, you will be at the entrance of the hotel. Eva slowed down and asked through the glass cover, "Do you live in Zone A or Zone B?" ”

Grunt, grunt...

"Yes. . . Is your stomach ringing... Eva asked in a quizzed whisper.

"Uh... yes, huh. Mike replied quieter. That's right, Zone B, Zone B. ”

Eva fumbled in her pants pocket with one hand (since she had left her bodyguard and ran out after watching the game in the evening, she didn't have any money or credit cards with her), she thought about it, stopped the car first, then took off her helmet and said to Mike, "Don't get out of the car yet." Take your phone out. ”

"What's wrong?" Mike asked

"Less nonsense, hurry." Eva said impatiently. Mike immediately did so.

Eva took the phone and stretched out her hand at a 45-degree angle and said, "Your face is a little more leaning~"

At 9:54:27 p.m. in 3012, with a crisp "click", 17-year-old Mike and 19-year-old Eva were frozen into Mike's dirty mobile phone photo album with their backs against the starlight.

Eva handed the phone to Mike. "You go to the hotel restaurant in a moment and find the manager, show him this picture, and say that she is a friend of Princess Eva, and the bill will be on my account. Also,Is your phone bought in an antique store?,It's a miracle that it can be used.。。。 ”

Suddenly, there was a rumbling in the sky. The two looked back and saw that two helicopters with searchlights were flying in the direction of the hotel. "It's annoying." Eva muttered to herself

"Okay, I'll not tell you yet. We'll see you at the gym tomorrow, weirdo. With that, Eva waved her hand without looking back, and disappeared into the darkness of the night on her motorcycle.

The night before a fight is usually a sleepless night, but Mike didn't get his mind set on the fight (perhaps because he didn't have any information about the players at all). He didn't have the determination to win the championship, but Coach Su asked him to add a registration form, and he unexpectedly advanced all the way to the top 4). However, he couldn't blame others for tossing and turning in the middle of the night, who told him to go back to the restaurant at night and order so many delicious pizzas, hams, and burgers. Of course, there is also a little bit of the reason for the mysterious desert princess Eva who provides delicious food and makes him unpredictable.

Sometimes, fate is predestined. Sometimes, fate is random. Sometimes, fate is predestined at random. And the criteria for dividing these three are probably just the way we look at time or the way we look at it. In a sense, those who ignore time (like Mike now) have become the tide riders on the dolphin ride. Although he doesn't know where he is going now and where he will go in the future. But obviously, God has already brought him to play.
