Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Who is the Real Legend_1
Late at night, Lu Xiang sat contentedly in the back seat of the "MK-II," her arms wrapped around Song Lan’s waist from behind, her body and face pressed against his back. This scene attracted the attention of many passersby, with numerous office workers on their way home stopping to watch as the two figures vanished into the depths of the night.
The beautiful moment made them reminisce about their youthful selves.
Back then, they hadn’t been trapped in this kind of life with an end in sight, and they had countless wonderful expectations for the future.
After standing still for a while, they suddenly woke up from their daydreams.
Because they realized a serious problem—they had never had girlfriends.
However, the passersby could never have dreamed that the girl sitting on the backseat was now talking about things that seemed completely at odds with her appearance, "The throat, temples, groin—these are all very vulnerable parts of the human body, and a sudden pain can cause most people’s brains to go blank."
In fact, Song Lan, who was riding the bike, was also on tenterhooks.
To make it easier to understand, Lu Xiang’s fingers continued to trace the corresponding areas on his body to demonstrate.
Although Lu Xiang’s hands were smooth and soft, in the story she had just told, it was with these hands that she beat her opponent until he suffered multiple fractures and fell unconscious, after which Law Enforcers disguised as medical staff immediately carried him back to their department.
Indeed, the interesting little story mentioned by Director Lu was, as always, related to criminal cases.
The target in the story was a fugitive who had drifted into District Seventeen, who usually earned some extra money through underground boxing. Thus, during the infiltration investigation, Lu Xiang had legitimately knocked down her opponent onstage and then, in front of everyone, transported the target back to the department.
Song Lan couldn’t help but marvel again at the legendary colors filled Lu Xiang’s career as a Law Enforcer.
While enforcing the law, she incidentally became the underground boxing champion of a particular edition in District Seventeen, leaving behind a tale enshrined among the fighting enthusiasts in the local folklore.
Even today, many people still discuss the mysterious fighter who maintained a zero-loss record and knocked out a heavyweight champion with a single combination of moves.
Even without the help of "enthusiastic citizens," it’s possible that one day Director Lu could become a legend remembered by this city.
"I’ve decided, starting from today, I’m your fan of boxing," Song Lan said.
"Okay, and I’m a fan of your movies, so that makes us even," she replied.
In the midst of their conversation, they had already arrived at the Log Bar mentioned by Roger. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary bar engaged in legitimate business. After showing their tickets to the bouncer, he pointed them towards what seemed to be a disused elevator, which took them down to the basement level.
Just from the environment alone, it was already fitting for the atmosphere of an underground boxing match.
There was still nearly a quarter of an hour before the match began, but the Audience seats were already packed, forcing Lu Xiang and Song Lan to stand at the very back row alongside other latecomers to watch the match.
Besides the match, there were also bets being placed onsite, with odds of 1:32.
This could be inferred from the build of the fighters, with the one with the lower odds going shirtless, displaying his muscles, his chest covered in scars that seemed to tell of his rich combat experience without a word.
As for the other contestant...
He looked no different from Roger in stature, and didn’t even have a proper coach by his side.
"Who do you think will win?" Lu Xiang asked with interest after settling down, purely there to enjoy the match as an Audience.
"I think the skinny guy will win," Song Lan opined, tapping into his experience as a seasoned movie fan. According to the usual script, whenever there’s a match where one contestant seems like they’re bound to lose and nobody has faith in them, they’re most likely going to win in the end.
And now it was the main event, where fighters like Roger, who stepped into the ring to fulfill their boxing dreams, had already been screened out.
"Then do you know why his opponent’s odds are so high?"
"It can be seen from their physique," Song Lan admitted that if one were to analyze this fight with normal reasoning, then it would definitely be the skinny guy getting destroyed.
"Take a closer look at his right arm," Lu Xiang prompted Song Lan, who observed the sturdy man’s right arm for a long time and finally noticed a not-so-obvious seam on the forearm, blurting out, "He’s using a prosthetic limb for the fight, isn’t that cheating?"
"A war chariot arm, as long as it’s concealed well, is permitted in underground boxing. Look at his chest and lower abdomen, there are signs of subdermal armor implants there too."
The so-called "no weapons allowed" rule was actually quite vaguely defined.
In fact, as long as you didn’t pull out obvious weapons like firearms, samurai swords, or thermal cutting blades in the ring, the audience wouldn’t scrutinize it too closely.
"Just by transplanting a gorilla arm, he could beat most opponents in the ring, and with subdermal armor added, opponents of the same weight class couldn’t land an effective blow on him."
"Director, I didn’t expect you to be so knowledgeable."
"Of course, I studied a lot of material back when I was taking part in the contests too. Gorilla arm transplants are the most common type of prosthetic in underground boxing matches, and most famous fighters have undergone modifications with gorilla arms and subdermal armor."
As she spoke, she also opened the link she had saved before, which detailed the gorilla arm.
"This type of prosthetic was put into use in 2140. It was invented by a gorilla named Winston..."
Lu Xiang’s voice was quickly drowned out by the audience’s chatter, and as they looked at each other, the atmosphere turned somewhat awkward.
She could see the skepticism in Song Lan’s eyes.
In fact, when she read that piece of text, she also realized something was off.
Huh?
The information wasn’t like this the last time she checked.
She double-checked the link’s address.
This was indeed a highly credible combat prosthetic science website, which she frequented when she needed to look into military technology.
Could it be,
that gorilla prosthetics were actually invented by a gorilla?
Back when she was in school, she had indeed heard that some biological technology departments in the Core Zone had conducted research on mutant creatures, and among them, some wild gorillas had demonstrated extreme intelligence in experiments...
Lu Xiang cleared her throat and changed the subject, "Anyway, if you want to change your mind, it’s not too late. The guy you’re betting on doesn’t seem to have undergone any prosthetic implantation."
It was not just a disparity in size; to a skinny man, a burly one with subdermal armor was like a war chariot.
"No change. I believe in skinny guy, he definitely has some secret skills."
Song Lan affirmed his own view.
"Then I bet on the burly man to win. Let’s make it clear, the loser has to agree to a demand from the winner after getting home."
"Deal, it’s settled."
...
The establishment of the verbal bet made them fully engaged in the upcoming boxing match.
A quarter of an hour flew by, and under the watchful eyes of the public, the fierce battle officially began.
Although Song Lan didn’t know the skinny man at all, he had already fabricated a detailed backstory for him through imagination.
At the moment the match commenced, skinny guy charged at the burly man with incredible speed.
"Watch closely, Director Lu, this is the advantage of being lighter. As long as he makes full use of the opponent’s clumsiness..."
"Boom—!"
A muffled sound came from the ring.
Skinny guy was struck with a punch the moment he approached the burly man.
That punch sent him flying like a kite with its string cut, crashing into the iron cage at the edge of the ring after being thrown several meters away.
Having witnessed this, Song Lan had only one thought left in his mind.
