People are three levels higher than you, and even after being beaten to a pulp by you, they didn't even cry. Are you still not satisfied?
But the talent Wang Fei displayed in the Star War, even though it was just a simulation game in the Battle Network, still left Wang Ge deeply impressed, both visually and mentally.
So, for Wang Fei's seemingly arrogant words, Wang Ge was momentarily speechless.
"Feifei, the screen lagged just now. Was it because of the optical brain?" Wang Ge asked casually.
"Of course, if it weren't for..." At this point, Wang Fei suddenly realized. She was still immersed in the battle and hadn't fully detached herself, so she quickly corrected herself: "No, no, it's not really the optical brain's fault. It's just that my strength isn't enough, after all, she is three levels higher than me."
Although Wang Fei changed her words quickly, Wang Ge still understood the real reason.
If it weren't for the optical brain's slow processing speed, his sister would definitely have won. Wang Ge recalled the battle and felt sorry for his sister. What a spectacular fight it would have been if she had won.
Wang Fei is a Star War prodigy, and before students enter military internships, they can only rely on optical brains to simulate battles. If he let his sister train on this old optical brain, it would definitely hold her back. Who knows, a future female military god might be ruined by this old optical brain.
Wang Ge had never paid attention to the current price of optical brains. He was so busy every day that he had no time to look into it. However, he had heard that a good optical brain would cost at least tens of thousands of Solar Coins.
This was something the old Wang Ge would never have dared to think about, but tonight he earned more than 20,000 Solar Coins in his first match. Although he spent 10,000 on healing, it was still a huge income.
After winning a few more matches, I'll buy a new optical brain for my sister. Wang Ge made up his mind, deciding to treat it as a reward for her admission to the Space University!
On the super-large screen outside the C-Class Boxing Arena's Hall 12, a compilation of today's matches was being played on loop. A fierce-looking one-eyed man led another young man who looked somewhat like him over.
Due to the widespread use of cloned organs, it was now rare to see disabled people. The one-eyed man was very noticeable, with a fierce expression that created a vacuum around him wherever he went, as everyone instinctively avoided him.
"Leopard, take a look at your opponent today!" The one-eyed man pointed to the super-large screen, which was just showing Wang Ge. Although Wang Ge's profile picture showed him wearing a black eye patch, the one-eyed man still recognized him immediately and his face darkened: "It's him?"
"Brother Hui, do you know him?" The lean young man called Leopard squinted his eyes, sizing up Wang Ge in the video like a leopard eyeing its prey.
Wang Ge had only fought one match, so the compilation only showed one scene: the beginning where Wang Ge performed a beautiful backflip and kicked Bai Hu's chin.
Although Wang Ge's subsequent moves were even more impressive, the compilation was ultimately for the audience's enjoyment, emphasizing visual appeal. A bloody fight would disappoint the audience, and without experiencing it firsthand, they wouldn't appreciate how strong Wang Ge was. Instead, they might think he had a tough time winning and be unwilling to bet on him.
The one-eyed man was Er Hui, who had a conflict with Curly and Wang Ge in the Life Level Testing Room. He was a B-Class boxer and usually wouldn't come to the C-Class arena. Today, he was accompanying his cousin Leopard, who was fighting his first C-Class match but was not a newcomer, having won a silver medal in the D-Class matches.
"Ha, Leopard, this rookie is your opponent today." Er Hui patted Leopard's shoulder. "Any problems?"
"Don't worry, Brother Hui." Leopard crossed his arms and said knowingly. "I'm a silver medalist in the D-Class matches!"
Although the compilation only showed one scene, both Er Hui and Leopard could see that Wang Ge's movements were clumsy, clearly indicating that this was his first time performing such an attack.
"Great!" Er Hui pointed to Wang Ge in the video and smiled at Leopard. "Beat him up for me!"
Leopard nodded forcefully, clenching his fists and making a series of crisp sounds.
"Brother, I have a match tonight, so I can't come to the arena to watch you." Er Hui was confident in his cousin, putting his arm around Leopard's shoulder and leading him out. "Don't leave after your match. I'll treat you to a full set tonight!"
"Brother Hui, look—" Leopard suddenly pointed to the direction of the iron frame elevator. Er Hui turned and saw Wang Ge walking out alone.
Er Hui grinned, his face twisting due to his missing eye, which was quite frightening.
Wang Ge also saw them and was slightly taken aback. Er Hui was a B-Class boxer, so why was he here?
Through the crowd, Er Hui pointed at Wang Ge from a distance, his single eye gleaming with a challenging look, and mouthed silently: "Wait to die, kid!"
After saying that, Er Hui patted Leopard's shoulder and left, laughing arrogantly. Anyone who got in his way was rudely pushed aside, as if he were a ruthless killer.
Crazy! Wang Ge walked to the entrance of Hall 12 with a blank expression, looking at the screen and quickly understanding what Er Hui meant.
Not knowing the relationship between Leopard and Er Hui, Wang Ge muttered to himself and carefully watched the compilation of the boxers' matches.
Since Er Hui was so confident in saying Wang Ge should wait to die, Wang Ge decided to examine Leopard more carefully.
"Boom—" The enthusiastic cheers from Hall 12 completely drowned out the rock music, penetrating the boxer's lounge. Clearly, the previous match had been very intense.
Wang Ge calmly tied his black eye patch. He had already warmed up before coming to the arena, so now he just needed to keep his body in an excited state by moving his limbs slightly.
Today, Curly didn't come; he had his own things to do. Wang Ge couldn't afford to have a B-Class boxer as a full-time assistant.
So, Wang Ge was alone, waiting for the match to start. Although it was lonely, it made him more calm.
"The next match is Super Rookie—Da Wang, against the D-Class silver medalist Leopard!" The referee's voice echoed through the arena, and Wang Ge could hear it clearly even in the boxer's lounge.
A silver medalist, no wonder he's so confident. Wang Ge listened expressionlessly as the referee continued to hype up the crowd: "Leopard, although he's a complete newcomer in the C-Class matches, I'm sure you're all familiar with him.
"A D-Class silver medalist who dominates his matches, if you treat him as a newcomer, don't blame me for your empty wallets!
"Da Wang is a super rookie who caused a huge upset in his first match! I wonder how many people lost a month's pocket money because of him last night. Ha, this is his second match. Will he continue to upset the odds, or will he be brought back to reality?"
Wang Ge walked out expressionlessly. He wasn't expressionless by nature; it was just that life had given him few reasons to laugh.
As he walked out of the boxer's tunnel, he immediately heard the audience's excited "oohs" and "aahs." Although he had only fought one match, those who had witnessed it were already impressed by Wang Ge.
While they might not become his loyal fans after just one match, they were clearly cheering for him tonight.
"Hey, rookie! We're counting on you to win back what we lost last night!"
"Just like last night, take him out!"
"If you win, I'll support you in every match from now on!"
As Wang Ge passed the tiered seating, the audience closest to him stood up, waving their fists and shouting excitedly.
Wang Ge paid no attention. Whether or not they cheered for him didn't matter. Although he was a rookie, he knew these audience members were shameless and heartless.
Last night, they all supported Bai Hu, but today they were cheering for him, who had killed Bai Hu. If Wang Ge were to be killed tonight, not a single audience member would shed a tear for him.
On the contrary, even if Wang Ge ignored them, as long as he kept winning, they would still praise him to the skies.
Wang Ge saw through it all, so the only thing he cared about was whether the generous tipper from last night had come.
To his disappointment, not only had the generous tipper not come, but the VIP seats were all empty, probably because neither Wang Ge nor Leopard had much fame in the C-Class matches.
Wang Ge didn't care, but Leopard was very concerned about his popularity. Standing on the stage, he looked down at Wang Ge with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Let this super rookie be the stepping stone for me to become famous tonight! Leopard's feet moved rhythmically to the rock music, easily finding his rhythm. As he lightly bounced, his entire body relaxed, and every movement looked natural, as if he were dancing to the beat.
Wang Ge stepped onto the stage and first looked at Leopard's bouncing feet. He noticed that they moved quickly and rhythmically, clearly indicating that Leopard, like Wang Ge, had a single attribute exceeding his life level. However, while Wang Ge's was strength, Leopard's was speed.
Leopard, a silver medalist, even in the D-Class matches, had a presence that could be felt from his numerous victories. His fierce, animal-like eyes made people shiver when they looked at him.
"Begin!" Seeing that both were silent, the referee decisively brought his raised hand down. But just as he did, Wang Ge suddenly spoke: "I've always wanted to say something to you."
