Chapter 50: You want to become my disciple? I will take you to practice

Xiao Peng took Phoenix and Boco to stay at the C2 Hotel.

It’s not that he started spending money again. Djokovic had a phone call with the owner of the "Red Head Boat", and he is now in Bordeaux and will not be back until tomorrow. Xiao Peng did not return to La Ciotat and moved directly into C2.

"Xiao." Felix ran to Xiao Peng's room: "Can I ask you a question?"

Xiao Peng had just finished his shower and came out of the bathroom. He took out a bottle of juice from the refrigerator and threw it to Felix: "Of course. Bo Ke, what do you want to drink?"

Bo Ke swallowed and looked at Xiao Peng without answering. He and Xiao Peng made him nervous.

Xiao Peng threw him a can of beer and said, "Don't be nervous. If you get to know me for a long time, you'll find that I'm actually very easy to get along with as long as you don't provoke me!"

Bo Ke nodded vigorously, whatever you say is right!

Xiao Peng shook his head, opened a can of beer, took a sip, and lazily sat on the sofa: "Felix, what's the problem?"

Felix blinked: "Xiao, how did you become so strong?"

"Me?" Xiao Peng answered truthfully, "Let the jellyfish sting me, let the octopus bite me."

Felix looked at Xiao Peng with resentment on his face: "Xiao, although I am young, I am not stupid."

Xiao Peng laughed out loud. What's wrong these days? No one believes the truth!

He shrugged and said, "Okay, I'll be honest. Actually, getting stronger is very simple: eat more and exercise more."

"Eat more and exercise more? Is it that simple?" Felix didn't quite believe what Xiao Peng said.

Xiao Peng nodded and said, "Just say why you play the piano so well? It's because you've been practicing for so many years. The same is true for fighting. However, in addition to long-term training, nutrition must also keep up. If nutrition is insufficient and physical fitness can't keep up, everything will be in vain!"

Felix pointed at Boko and said, "But Boko and the others practice every day, so how come they are weaklings when facing you?"

After hearing this, Boko was so angry that he stood up and then sat down again in a sullen manner. Felix was right. They were all weaklings facing Xiao Peng.

Xiao Peng said, "That's because fighting is about talent. So-called genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration, but that 1% inspiration is more important than the 99% perspiration. Just like when you play the piano, many people train harder than you. Why do you achieve such good results? It's because of that 1% inspiration."

Felix suddenly realized: "That means my uncle and his family are all idiots!"

Xiao Peng glanced at Bo Ke, who was about to cry but couldn't, and said helplessly, "Felix, don't underestimate adults! Over a thousand years ago, a writer in our country named Wang Anshi wrote an article called 'The Injury of Zhongyong.' It tells the story of a child prodigy named Fang Zhongyong, who could write poetry and calligraphy at the age of five. However, his father saw this and used him as a money-making tool, and he eventually became an ordinary person. There are indeed many so-called 'child prodigies' in this world, but in the end, the vast majority become passers-by. Don't assume that just because you have achieved something now, it will be the same for your whole life. You need to persevere and work hard!"

Xiao Peng looked very proud. No wonder so many people like to teach and lecture. It feels really good! When he was a child, Xiao Peng hated being lectured the most. But people, sooner or later, will become the people they hate the most.

Felix looked at Xiao Peng curiously and asked, "Do you need to work hard now?"

"Of course!" Xiao Peng said, "I'm going downstairs to work out in a bit!"

He was not talking nonsense. The last time he rescued someone at the bottom of the sea made him realize his weakness, which was physical strength.

Xiao Peng, who has been diving for years, has good physical strength compared to ordinary people, but that's just good enough! If you want to do underwater salvage, you need to equip your mind as well as your body, and improving your physical strength is very important!

There is no free lunch in the world. If you want something, you have to pay for it!

After hearing this, Felix said, "Xiao, I want to go with you!"

Xiao Peng frowned. "Aren't you afraid of hurting your five million dollar finger? Isn't there a fitness exemption clause in your insurance contract?"

Pascal told Xiao Peng that Felix's mother had insured his finger for five million.

This kind of body insurance is not uncommon among celebrities. For example, Jennifer Lopez has a $300 million insurance policy for her buttocks; Taylor Swift has a $40 million policy for her legs; and James Harden's beard is worth $200 million. However, pianists are even more common, with Chinese pianists Lang Lang and Li Yundi both having nine-figure insurance policies for their fingers.

However, these insurances have very strict exemption conditions, and you cannot do this or that.

Insurance companies are not stupid!

Felix shook his head and said, "I don't know. I don't understand these things."

"Boko, do you know?" Xiao Peng asked Boko on the side.

Bo Ke also shook his head: "I don't know, how about I call Jacques and ask him now?"

But Felix said, "No need to call uncle, this is my vacation, I have the final say on what I do!"

"You have the final say?" Xiao Peng glanced at Felix and said, "I'm your grandfather, how can I spoil you so much? I'm not some spoiled parent!"

Felix laughed awkwardly and said, "That's not what I meant... Xiao, can you teach me?"

"What should I teach you?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.

Felix said shyly, "I want to be strong too. Hera said she likes strong boys."

"Hmm?" Xiao Peng's gossip was burning. The thirteen-year-old boy was just at the age of first falling in love. "Who is Hera?"

Felix said shyly, "It's a beautiful girl from my school!"

"No wonder you're clamoring to go back to school." Xiao Peng thought for a moment and asked, "But your way of picking up girls is wrong!"

"What's wrong? Can you pick up girls?" Felix looked at Xiao Peng after hearing this.

Xiao Peng said proudly, "I have another name here, which is the 'Asian Love Saint' who is always successful in picking up girls. Didn't you see that the service staff here all know me? You said that girl named Hera likes strong guys, so you have to become strong? I tell you, this is wrong! If she doesn't like you, she won't like you even if you become as strong as 'The Rock' Johnson. You should use your own strengths to attract her. Play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, you know? Use your own strengths to attract her instead of foolishly following her lead!"

Felix's eyes turned into little stars: "Xiao, I want to be your disciple. I want to learn how to pick up girls from you! I want to be as strong as you!"

Xiao Peng looked reluctant: "It's very hard to learn from me..."

"I'm not afraid of hard work!" Felix said hurriedly.

Xiao Peng grinned: "But who made me like you? Change your clothes and follow me!"

"Go? Where to?" Felix didn't understand what Xiao Peng was going to do.

Xiao Peng grinned: "Take you to actual combat!"
