As soon as they arrived at the Taekwondo Club, they heard various bursts of laughter from inside.

Occasionally, they could also hear a few delicate cries that belonged exclusively to girls.

"Wow... the battles in here are intense," Xu Yi said in surprise.

Little Fatty, however, clenched his fists tightly. "That's my girlfriend's voice! Damn it... you scoundrels!!"

He was trembling violently beside Xu Yi, and it was clear he was genuinely angry.

"It's okay, Fatty Oxhead. It's not a big deal that your girlfriend was poached.

Although they're athletes and their stamina and endurance are beyond normal people, they can pedal a bicycle standing up, something you can't bear to do.

"Stop talking, you're making me sadder. The thought of that scene makes me ache with longing."

"I'm trying to comfort you."

"Is this how you comfort people?"

"Uh... think about the bright side. At least your girlfriend suffered too. That bicycle was pedaled while standing up, how could it possibly be okay!"

Ahhh!

[Negative Emotion Points +100]

Little Fatty was completely broken.

However, the viewers were amused.

[Xu Yi really knows how to comfort people, knows what words sting the most.]

[You're all laughing, but I'm crying. I have a friend who actually went through this, I feel so bad for him. Sob sob...]

[If I was a delinquent in middle school, a sports student in high school, a rapper in college, served two years of compulsory military service after graduation, then became an instructor after retiring, and then became an esports player when I couldn't do it anymore. Would I be able to find a girlfriend then?]

[I can only say, man, you've lived quite a life! Don't worry about whether you can find a girlfriend, worry more about your kidneys.]

[Heh heh~ If I tanned myself, spoke fluent English, and told girls, 'Your eyes are as beautiful as the stars.' How would you respond to that, sir?]

[Can't compare, really can't compare.]

Xu Yi continued to console Fatty Oxhead for several minutes, ensuring he was completely broken before pulling him into the Taekwondo Club.

Why did he have to make him break down?

Of course, it was to turn his grief into strength, so he could better launch a fierce revenge against the oxhead army.

Given Little Fatty's bulk, he could take on several people even without training.

The main problem was that he was too timid. If he were a bit more manly and brave, his girlfriend wouldn't have run off.

What?

You say I did it for those Emotion Points!

Say that again? (Husky pointing at someone.jpg)

"It's you?"

As soon as they saw each other, the atmosphere became tense and charged with hostility.

However, Little Fatty's trembling legs betrayed him.

"You fatso, what are you doing here? Haven't you been beaten enough?"

"I... I've been beaten enough."

Xu Yi looked like (foreigner slapping face.jpg)

"Be spirited, man, don't disgrace yourself!" Xu Yi encouraged him.

"But there are too many of them, and you're my hired help. Shouldn't you be the one fighting?"

Xu Yi shook his head and said earnestly, "It's easy for me to beat them, it'll only take a minute."

"A minute to be beaten down by them?" Little Fatty retorted.

"Shut up! It's easy for me to beat them. My purpose in doing this is for you to truly stand up and defeat your inner demons. If you show your girlfriend your dominant side, won't she come running back?"

"R-really?"

"Red bean paste. Girls admire strength. You're so weak, who would want to be with you?"

Listening to Xu Yi's brainwashing, Little Fatty's eyes turned into unparalleled determination.

"Okay!"

"Let me be brave one more time, just for... love!!"

Then, Little Fatty faced everyone, his eyes fierce. "You all listen up, I'm here to take back everything I've lost."

What a chuunibyou line.

"Give me back my girlfriend!"

Silence~

The entire place fell silent~

The members of the Taekwondo Club looked at him with pity, as if they were looking at an idiot.

The leader, the club president, said helplessly, "Bro, it's not that I don't want to give him back to you, but your girlfriend is like a sticker, she just won't shake off."

As expected, the girl clung to the president's arm like a lovesick puppy.

Little Fatty: "???"

"Lily... I don't believe it! Did you bewitch her? You must have used some dark magic to keep her from leaving."

Jin Wang sighed, "No, really. Don't underestimate a man's post-coital clarity, okay?"

[Negative Emotion Points +200]

Little Fatty couldn't believe his ears, "You, you guys?"

"Yeah, we did. It was alright."

Ah!

Little Fatty felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar. He could feel a flock of sheep bleating on top of his head.

Jin Wang: "You don't believe me? See for yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Wang slapped Lily across the face.

"Get lost, I'm sick of you. Your boyfriend is here to find you, go back with him."

Lily glanced at Little Fatty, her eyes showing undisguised disgust.

"He's my ex-boyfriend already, brother, you're my boyfriend."

"Get lost, I haven't even acknowledged you yet. Don't just claim a relationship."

Jin Wang glanced at him disdainfully, "See, it's not my fault. She just won't leave.

Bro... is this dog not getting enough to eat at your place?"

"You... you you."

Little Fatty trembled with rage, unable to even speak properly.

One moment of bravery, exchanged for a lifetime of guilt.

Beast!

Even Xu Yi couldn't stand it. What did his fatty friend do wrong?

To be insulted like this.

By the way, is it really not getting enough to eat?

Sigh~ I happen to have a homemade little medicine here.

Jin Wang's lips curved into a playful smile, "If there's nothing else, hurry up and leave. Traditional martial arts trash, practitioners of traditional martial arts are indeed trash. Rounding it down, it means... practitioners of traditional martial arts will become trash."

"Hahahaha..."

The other club members burst into laughter.

"I'll fucking kill you!"

These words were the last spark, completely igniting Little Fatty's powder keg.

To everyone's surprise, he charged at Jin Wang like a maddened bull.

Poof~

Jin Wang was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground.

Little Fatty's entire body pressed down on him, almost crushing his insides out.

The other club members quickly rushed forward to help, moving Little Fatty away and restraining him.

Ptooey~

Jin Wang was no longer mocking, his face was grim, and his eyes glared viciously at Xu Yi and the other.

"Close the doors!"

"If you two can walk out of this gate standing today, my surname will be yours."

Little Fatty smiled, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Brother, you were right. Some inner demons need to be resolved by oneself. That felt really good just now.

But I'm sorry for dragging you into this. I'll try to draw their attention later. You escape in the chaos.

I'll transfer the two thousand yuan deposit to you as soon as I'm out."

Xu Yi smiled and said nothing, instead reaching out a hand to pull him up.

"Rule number one of part-time work: no zero negative reviews. You have to complete the tasks assigned by the boss diligently."

Little Fatty was stunned, but still retorted, "No. It's just two thousand yuan, why risk your life? I'll add another five hundred."

Jin Wang laughed in anger, "Alright, alright. If I let either of you run out of here today, I'll be this..."

He raised a pinky finger.

"I've also practiced Traditional Martial Arts, so it really annoys me when you belittle it like this," Xu Yi said coldly.

"Oh? You've practiced it too? Then let's have a one-on-one, give you a chance to prove Traditional Martial Arts." Jin Wang said dismissively.

Lily beside him showed a look of disdain. "Don't even think about Traditional Martial Arts trying to piggyback on Taekwondo. I've practiced for so many years, it was such a waste of my youth.

Now that I'm practicing Taekwondo, I realize that the Korean wave is truly the best."

Xu Yi couldn't be bothered to listen to her babbling and hung up the phone.

Jin Wang: "What? Can't win, so you're calling for backup? But I'll disappoint you, in the entire school, our Taekwondo Club is the peak of combat power."
