"You're going to work?" Lin Yuxun looked at Cheng Hao in surprise.
Cheng Hao had mentioned before that he wanted to find a job, but he didn't take it seriously at the time. Unexpectedly, Cheng Hao had already found a job...
Cheng Hao, did you really find a job?
"Yes, I didn't look for a job a few days ago because my injury was not fully healed. Today I feel much better, so I went to look for a job and found one." Cheng Hao said.
It’s not that easy to find a job... Lin Yuxun was a little skeptical, but he felt that he shouldn’t doubt Cheng Hao.
Cheng Hao said, "The bar asked me to go there around six o'clock. I was afraid you would be back too late, so I brought Danny to look for you."
He saw that Lin Yuxun was a little confused, so he explained a few more words.
When Lin Yuxun heard Cheng Hao's explanation, he believed it. He wanted to ask a few more questions, but then he remembered that he had concealed a lot of things from Cheng Hao, so he felt embarrassed to ask more.
Cheng Hao sent Lin Yuxun to the door of his house and left, heading for Old George.
It's early fall here in New York State.
The weather in New York is not hot even in the summer. Now that it is autumn, it is even cooler. The wind blowing on Cheng Hao's face makes his hair stand up.
It was this kind of coldness that made him more awake.
Cheng Hao told himself that he must win tonight.
He really needs money.
Moreover, when the weather gets colder, he will be even more short of money.
Winter clothes are a must. In addition, it would be best to move to a heated house - they are currently living on the ground floor with only a thin rolling door, which is too unfriendly to the winter. I don’t know how Lin Yuxun survived before.
When Cheng Hao arrived at Old George's bar, it was already dark and the colorful lights at the door of the bar were lit.
But there are not many customers inside... The boxing match will not start until 8 o'clock in the evening, and the one that is considered the highlight of the day will start even later, at least at 9 o'clock.
Cheng Hao was stopped when he entered the door. He talked to the person who stopped him and found out that there were some requirements for coming to the bar to watch a boxing match, such as everyone watching the match must place a bet.
However, there is no regulation on how much to bet. Generally speaking, few people bet less than five yuan. Most people bet ten yuan. If they meet some rich people, they will bet more. It is not uncommon to bet one hundred or two hundred yuan.
This money is in US dollars, so its purchasing power is still very high.
Cheng Hao used to think that Chester had to follow in instead of coming in on his own because he was not old enough, but now he realized that it was because he had no money.
In addition to placing bets, there are other expenses in a bar. Chester and his gang of thugs who only make a little money by robbing students like Lin Yuxun cannot make such expenses.
Cheng Hao said he was a boxer and was brought before Old George.
Old George was in a small room behind the bar. When Cheng Hao went in, he was eating a hamburger.
Seeing Cheng Hao, he took a sip of Coke before saying, "I thought you weren't coming."
"I'm short of money, so I'll come." Cheng Hao said.
"That's right. People who are short of money always fight hard." Old George said, "You're new here, so the boxer I assigned to you isn't that good. His name is Gerald... Wait for your first fight, so warm up."
Cheng Hao nodded: "Okay."
Old George pointed to a room next to him and said, "All the boxers are there. You can go and meet them."
Following Old George's instructions, Cheng Hao entered a room next door.
There are five black men here. Judging from their looks, you can tell that they are all boxers. At this moment, some of them are smoking, and some are eating. Those who are eating are eating hamburgers like old George.
Cheng Hao felt that the people here had a special liking for hamburgers. Of course, they always ate them because they were convenient to eat.
As soon as Cheng Hao entered, everyone in the room looked over.
Cheng Hao greeted them: "Hello, I'm Cheng, the new boxer."
"You? A boxer?" The biggest black man among them sneered at Cheng Hao, "Is Old George crazy? He actually found a kid, a yellow monkey, to fight with!"
After the black man said this, another black man next to him said, "That's ridiculous. A yellow man can also fight? Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death?"
They didn't even try to hide their disdain for Cheng Hao. The other three black men said, "Little guy, go home and feed yourself. This isn't the place for you!"
"Don't come here to play games."
"Are you here to get beaten? Hahahaha!"
…
As they were talking, the big black man who spoke first suddenly said to one of the three black men, "Gerald, you always lose in competitions. No one wants to bet on you to win anymore, and no one wants to watch your clumsy performance on stage. But today, Old George asked you to come, and he also found this kid... He's definitely your match. Do your best, Gerald."
After the man finished speaking, he burst into laughter. When the other black people heard what he said, they also laughed.
The black man named Gerald's face turned pale, but he didn't dare to offend the two men. Instead, he looked at Cheng Hao: "Asshole, you'd better kneel down and lick me, otherwise I will never let you go!"
Cheng Hao said nothing and looked at Gerald with a sneer.
In the past, he would repeatedly study his opponent's game videos before participating in the game, and even watch his opponent's interview videos.
After reading this, he probably knew his opponent's character and how he would fight him.
But he couldn't see the previous game videos of these people now, so he could only observe them in person.
From the performance of these people, he could roughly know who they were.
The Jellal in front of him was in a very bad mental state, and he would probably get furious next.
As Cheng Hao expected, Gerald became furious and started swearing at him.
Cheng Hao turned a blind eye, and the man became even angrier, looking as if he wanted to tear Cheng Hao to pieces.
However, a few others sat nearby, looking relaxed as if they were watching the joke, and started chatting about other things.
Cheng Hao then realized that besides himself, there was also a foreign boxer named "Crazy Bull" coming today.
He was unknown and was not taken seriously by these people, but the boxer from other place was highly valued by them - these people used to come at around seven or eight o'clock, but today they came at around six o'clock, just to see the boxer earlier.
Cheng Hao listened to them carefully. Although these things had nothing to do with him for the time being, he could remember them in advance.
He can hardly remember the names of foreigners or what they look like. He has to listen to them several times and look at their faces before he can remember them.
Gerald was very angry, but Cheng Hao ignored him, so he had no choice but to shout that he would teach Cheng Hao a lesson during the next game.
Cheng Hao didn't care about it.
He observed Gerard carefully and found that although the man looked strong, he was actually a little weak and not to be feared.
The only trouble is that he himself is in poor health and lacks specialized exercise.
Time passed quickly, and in a short while, it was almost eight o'clock.
Old Jack walked in and told Cheng Hao, "Cheng, get on stage! Let people recognize you!"
When Cheng Hao heard what Old George said, he knew there must be some rules here. He didn't delay and followed Old George onto the stage.
Old George said to the patrons in the bar, "Today we have a very good boxer, Mad Bull from New York City, coming to compete with us. I'm sure everyone will want to meet him!"
There were already some people in the bar, but not many. Even so, the atmosphere became lively after hearing what Old George said.
At this time, Old George said again, "But the strong Mad Bull hasn't arrived yet and can't play. I will introduce another new boxer to everyone. He will fight with Gerald in the first match of the day."
Hearing the name Gerard, these people sighed: "Old George, are you kidding me? You actually let that wimp Gerard play?"
"I don't want to see Gerald, I want to see Mad Bull!"
"What are you looking at Jellal for? Watching him get beaten?"
…
These people laughed loudly, and Cheng Hao clearly saw the veins on Gerald's head bulging, and he was very angry.
But he had no emotion.
He has participated in many competitions and knows that in the boxing ring, mental quality is as important as physical quality.
If you want to win, you can't have too many messy thoughts.
Just this day, Cheng Hao didn't want to win. He just wanted to play a good game and admit defeat. But now, he is determined to win.
After all, the winner gets 4 percent of the money, while the loser only gets 1 percent.
He needs money.
At this time, Old George said, "Next, let's invite our new boxer to come up, and everyone can place their bets."
Cheng Hao went on stage.
The fences for boxing matches are not very large and the spectators are very close.
This allows the audience to see everything that makes people's blood boil on the field up close, and also allows Cheng Hao to see their appearance clearly.
Most of these people are fierce and carry guns.
But he has entered a special state now and doesn't care at all.
Cheng Hao was very calm. Those who had laughed at Gerald before now laughed at Cheng Hao: "Old George, are you crazy? You actually let a little kid compete?"
"Old George, you're going to show us two chickens fighting?"
"Ha, it suddenly occurred to me that Jellal may not be able to defeat others, but he will definitely win against this little kid!"
"This is a Chinese kid, what a pretty little kid... Come on, Jellal, break his head!"
"Jellal, throw him down!"
…
These people started talking excitedly. Cheng Hao turned around and saw Gerald, who had not yet entered the stage, grinning at him with malicious intent.
The game will start soon.
