Chapter 191 Chapter 189 Hibernation of the Viper
As they talked, the two brothers started arguing again: one said he had abandoned his ideals, and the other said he was stubborn. The two men soon became red in the face and were about to fight. Zhuang Xuteng had been thinking about how to stop the fight and not be beaten to death, but he didn't expect that the two would fall down at the same time.
Zhuang Guanzhu covered his head and rushed to the toilet in a hurry, holding the toilet and vomiting. The quarrel gave him a splitting headache, and the effect of the concussion had not yet ended. He was so excited that he would inevitably get such a result. Tang Qizhi also felt a wave of palpitations, and hurriedly took out a needle tube as thick as a finger from his backpack and stabbed it into his heart. After a burst of leaking sound, the abnormal flush on his face slowly faded away.
"The patients and the wounded, please behave yourself." Zhuang Xuteng spread his hands to the two of them and said, "I don't want my client to be angry to death during my protection, and then I will kill his junior brother to avenge him."
Tang Qizhi snorted, put away the syringe and said, "Kill me? Have you ever killed anyone?"
"Legally, no." Zhuang Xuteng shook his head slowly and said, "If you two feel angry, just save your anger and use your brain to think about how to vent it on Viper, instead of arguing with each other here. To me, if you don't fight back when you are beaten, whether you don't want to or don't dare, you are a coward; similarly, verbally provoking and bullying a wounded person, and then you have to get an injection for emergency treatment, is not a glorious behavior. You two brothers, don't compete with each other in front of the sign of "Respecting Teachers and Honoring the Way."
The two people's faces turned red at the same time, and even turned blue, but it was finally effective. The brothers had a common opponent: the mercenary Naike, so the two were able to temporarily put aside their differences and began to care about each other again.
When his senior brother kept asking about the medicine injected into the heart, Tang Qizhi could only confess: "That is the Shadow Inhibitor, which is used to eliminate the side effects of the Shadow Implant. We all use this in the KOZ competition, and the effect is immediate."
"It will break your heart... What will you do in the future?" Director Zhuang shook his head, and finally did not blame, but just said his concern.
"Wait for the implant heart to be replaced, or use a disposable companion heart implant."
"Mr. Tang, I know about the implant heart, but what is a disposable companion heart implant?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.
"The implant will have side effects, and these side effects are generally deposited in two parts: the heart and the brain. Many people go crazy because the brain cannot bear the side effects. I am determined and not worried about this. The KOZ competition involves a lot of exercise and a heavy burden on the heart. The natural heart cannot bear such a heavy load." Tang Qizhi glanced at his senior brother with a guilty conscience and said, "The method in previous years was to directly replace it with the shadow slave heart. Now there is another method, which is to add a heart protection layer to let it withstand the damage. When the damage reaches a certain degree, throw it away and replace it with a new one, so that the original intention can be preserved."
Preserve the original intention? This sentence is used here, and it obviously has another meaning, but it is a secret language that only their brothers understand. Zhuang Xuteng asked more in depth and found out that this disposable companion heart implant is still in the clinical trial stage. It is only open to professional athletes and the military, and it is not available in the civilian medical market.
The principle of this disposable implant is a bit like dormant martial arts, which allows parts outside the body to replace the main body to withstand damage. However, the characteristic of the shadow slave is that side effects are inevitable, so does this disposable heart protective shell have no side effects?
"If you use that thing for a long time, the side effect is that it is very expensive. Each one can only be used for one year, and it must be replaced at most in one and a half years. The money for replacing three is enough to buy a permanent implant heart. Most KOZ players still prefer to choose an implanted heart, which can be used for at least ten years." Tang Qizhi said: "I don't want to play in KOZ for that long. If I can't get the top three in my current level within two seasons, I will retire, so a temporary protective shell is enough."
"Junior brother, stop now and take good care of yourself. Can your heart recover?"
Tang Qizhi was silent for a while and said: "It will definitely not be as good as before, but it will not harm my life. It's just that I can't stop now. With three more points, I can enter the 50-person finals, and that's just a direct knockout score, which is very simple for me."
"Alas ...If Master is still alive, he will definitely feel sorry for you. "
"Brother, I thought you were going to say that Master would teach me a lesson?"
"Master may not necessarily teach you a lesson, because he has never figured out what to do with our martial arts in the future. If it is a fight, it is no match for the implant enhancer; it is just teaching people to strengthen their bodies, and it is not as direct as relying on medical technology. As for training the mind? If neither of us can reach a consensus, how can we convince others? Even if we reach a consensus, this mind... In front of the blue crystal, what is the use of a firm mind! "
Zhuang Xuteng was shocked and asked: "You mentioned blue crystals, is it the kind of spirit leaf extract? Does your martial arts school have anything to do with blue crystals?"
"We will never touch blue crystals, and I will never let the martial arts school have anything to do with drugs even if I die!" Zhuang Guanzhu roared.
"Brother, don't be angry, this little brother means that he is worried that the troubles encountered by the martial arts school are related to drug dealers. Have you met anyone in that business recently? "
"No." The owner of the store shook his head and said: "They have their own shop, run it by themselves, and never find a martial arts school. Uh... The blue crystals on the street are called Blue Savages, and some are also called Avatars. They just let you It’s no longer you, as if you’ve been operating someone else’s body, you can do whatever you want without worrying about the consequences…”
Zhuang Xuteng frowned: "Isn't this just irresponsible zombie manipulation?"
"I don't know about zombie control, and I don't know if it feels the same." The owner of the village said: "The Viper Gang Blue Savage's shop is disguised as a barber shop, just fifty meters away. Even if they want to open a new shop, They wouldn’t choose a martial arts gym that’s so close, so I really can’t figure out why they would come to harass the martial arts gym.”
"Let's see if Brother Dao can find out anything..." Zhuang Xuteng took out the legion juice and found two unbroken teacups to pour for them. "Juice drinks are very safe, have no side effects, and are good for recovering from injuries. Boss, I would like to ask about the status of Blue Savage on the market."
"It's pretty bad. I heard that that kind of thing is powerful, comes in many varieties, and is cheap. It has begun to completely replace the previous products. It first appeared two years ago... or three years ago. I can't remember clearly. It’s been widely used in the past year. It can be easily mixed into drinks or tobacco. It’s so bad that many people have become addicted to it.”
"Do any of your mercenaries sell this?" Tang Qizhi asked.
"I don't know, I hope not." Zhuang Xuteng could vouch for his actions, but he couldn't vouch for all the mercenaries. Although there is a clear line between mercenaries and gangs, is it really so clear in real life? In particular, we have to consider the impact of financial interests. Euros and platinum coins are like a constantly moving eraser. Even if there is a thread, the eraser can be blurred.
Viper - another snake - has long been associated with gangs. Did middlemen and the so-called "mercenary industry" do anything to him? No, apart from a few verbal jokes, there was no action at all. Zhuang Xuteng believes that if the "Blue Savage" can make a lot of money, other mercenaries will not reject it because of its harmfulness, and will definitely accept related tasks. There is no such situation now, and there is only one reason: there is no shortage of people in gangs, and there is no need to let outsiders make money.
"With all the chaos outside now, it's really hard for our martial arts gym to continue running." Tang Qizhi sighed and said, "Brother, I originally planned to use my name to advertise the martial arts gym, but my so-called boxing fans just want to If I buy the same implant, I won't go to the martial arts gym at all. I also want to try to integrate more martial arts when using the implant, but the high speed and high burst are too strong, and the master's martial arts only work at low speed. "
The owner of the village was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "You still have so many things on your mind?"
"Don't think I have made a contribution, I just want to play better and earn more money." Tang Qizhi turned around and said: "KOZ has high bonuses, but the costs are also high. The purchase and maintenance of implants require money. You can only make money if you are in the top 50 or 20, and only the top three can earn huge amounts of money. Last year, I had a chance to be in the top four, but it was a pity.”
"KOZ is just a place where you spend money to watch advertisements for implants! It's like punching like primitive people, but with a steam engine added to the fist."
"Senior brother, you can say whatever you want. We are close in level. I couldn't win the championship with the implant installed, and it would be the same if you were there. However, no one can beat me with implants of the same level."
Zhuang Xuteng's mind was spinning very fast, and he immediately said: "Not necessarily, I think I can beat you. I have very few implants, not even combat-type ones, let alone high-speed and high-explosion ones, but you couldn't get them even with a sneak attack. How about me? I think I have a chance. By the way, you wouldn’t say you were merciful to me when you tried to rescue my senior brother, right?”
"You! Mercenary, don't be too arrogant at your young age!"
"Just wait until you have had enough rest, and come and teach me a lesson. Anyway, idle time is idle." Zhuang Xuteng put on a cheerful attitude, further irritating Tang Qizhi.
Tang Qizhi snorted coldly and just kept this matter in his heart. We still don't know the situation of the Viper Gang, so there is no need to fight with the paid bodyguards just for a few words.
Yes, everyone still doesn't know the situation of the Viper Gang, including Ge Gongdao who came back from the outside. The result of his preliminary investigation was that the gangsters didn't know why they came to harass the martial arts gym, they just received such an order. Harassment also has no definite target, the harassment itself is the target.
Everyone can only speculate that the Viper Gang has other intentions. If you want to know this intention, you must conduct an in-depth investigation. Ge Gongdao cannot do this kind of work, so after the investigation reaches this point, he has no choice but to come back.
"Just wait until they call us." Forced to have no choice but to wait, Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao could only adopt the foolish method of waiting.
