Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

Chapter 143 Are the gangsters fighting over territory?

With a ding-dong, Zhang Chaoqiang's watch vibrated.

"User [Invincible Tyrannosaurus God] sent a message to your purchase request post."

Upon entering the app, I found a user named "Invincible Tyrannosaurus God" whose profile picture was a gaudy fox emoji.

Comments posted under the thread asking to buy Screaming Chicken Crystal Cores:

I have a Tier 1 Screaming Chicken Crystal Core. I'm not selling it, I'm only exchanging it for items in quests. I also happen to be in Tianan City.

"Task swapping?"

In the Martial Arts Shop APP, transactions between users are not just a simple buying and selling.

They can also exchange goods after reaching a consensus, such as by bartering.

The "object" here can be a task proposed by the seller to the buyer, or other specified items.

Simply put, Tyrannosaurus God has something he wants, but he needs Zhang Chaoqiang to do something for him.

[User0417]: Yes

【Invincible Tyrannosaurus God】: The mission is very dangerous. First, you must ensure that you have a level 0 advanced spiritual power, which is 250-300P!

[User0417]: The value is not commensurate. Although the Screaming Chicken crystal core is of the rare bloodline level, it is not very useful in practice. I just bought it out of curiosity to collect.

As for your request, the mission is too dangerous, and a mere Tier 1 item is not worth the value!

[Invincible Tyrannosaurus God]: Two, I'll offer two, is that okay? Can we meet this afternoon? We can discuss the details after we meet?

[User0417]: Two first-order coins, I need to think about it.

[Invincible Tyrannosaurus God]: I only have two Screaming Chicken Cores left! I can't take any more!

After a brief exchange of information, Zhang Chaoqiang noticed that the Tyrannosaurus God's message seemed to be filled with a heavy tone.

Although I expect him to fully comply, after careful consideration, I realize that bargaining is necessary, and at most, we can discuss the detailed transaction process face-to-face.

At the same time, I was also very curious about what exactly this dangerous mission he was talking about was.

After class, we agreed on a meeting place near the martial arts shop on Tianyun Street. Such public places are video recorded, which can prevent disputes.

Old Chen and Tan Yue deliberately parked their car a distance away, giving Zhang Chaoqiang some private space.

Tan Yue, inside the car, was a little worried because she had overheard that Zhang Chaoqiang's invited mission was quite dangerous.

"User 0417?"

A somewhat hoarse voice came from the person who arrived on a motorcycle and saw Zhang Chaoqiang sitting next to the Tianyun Martial Arts Shop.

"Invincible Tyrannosaurus God".

The two met, shook hands, and did so in one smooth motion.

The forum in the [Martial Arts Shop] has two main rules: First, don't worry about the other party's identity. Second, uphold the spirit of the contract.

So the two started calling each other by their online nicknames.

To be honest, it felt really strange to hear people call me Zhang Chaoqiang (username 0417), but there was nothing I could do. When I tried to change my nickname, I discovered that the name Zhang Chaoqiang had already been registered by someone else…

Just like the nickname "Invincible Tyrannosaurus God," the name "Zhang Chaoqiang" might be registered by someone else as a joke.

"I need to inspect the goods."

Zhang Chaoqiang was the first to suggest that Invincible Tyrannosaurus God turn around the backpack on his back, which was somewhat worn and seemed to have been recently worn through and had holes from being rubbed on the ground.

He took out a box from it and handed it to Zhang Chaoqiang.

"No, you take it, open it and show it to me." Zhang Chaoqiang took a step back.

Sometimes you really have to be careful. From a young age, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei had told themselves to be careful of people online. But a few months ago, when Shen Qiangwei was trading a second-hand dressing table with a user on Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace platform),...

They had just been tricked, and it was Zhang Chaoqiang who stepped in and resolved the situation.

Upon seeing the cautious Zhang Chaoqiang, Tyrannosaurus God opened the wooden box. Inside lay two white crystal cores, each about the size of a little fingernail, belonging to the Screaming Chicken.

"Is it convenient for you to take off your helmet?"

Zhang Chaoqiang added that his behavior was not like that of a child.

Tyrannosaurus Rex didn't think he was a child at first glance, thanks to his height and imposing presence. However, his somewhat immature face and voice were a bit jarring. But as a high school student himself, he couldn't tell Zhang Chaoqiang's real age at all.

After hesitating for a moment, Tyrannosaurus Rex took off his helmet, paused for a moment, and then placed it on the handlebars of the motorcycle.

Zhang Chaoqiang knew why he had hesitated earlier: Tyrannosaurus Rex's cheek still had fresh wounds.

A tattered backpack, fresh wounds, and a timid demeanor.

This contrasts sharply with the powerful and imposing online name.

Zhang Chaoqiang seemed to have anticipated his upcoming task.

"Can we start now?"

"Please begin your task description..."

Tyrannosaurus God put his helmet back on: "Mr. User 0417, are you sure you have 250-300P of spiritual power? This is very important to me!"

With a bang, Zhang Chaoqiang swung his fist, and the wind whistled past Tyrannosaurus God's ear. The opponent was dumbfounded; this was far more than 250P in strength.

"I want you to help me with a match."

Battle?

Zhang Chaoqiang was clearly interested, because what he wanted most right now was to fight, and what he longed for most was to fight against a martial artist.

This helps one improve their physical goals.

Even though it was only once, it's better than nothing.

"Time, place, opponent."

Tyrannosaurus God pondered for two seconds: "I'll give you an answer in two days. The location is the Baicheng District Cultural Martial Arts Hall. Your opponent is the third son of the Tang-style Martial Arts School's headmaster, named Tang Shizheng, age 17..."

"Okay, okay, Tyrannosaurus God, that's enough. What is his martial arts level?"

"Tier 0 is roughly equivalent to a strength of around 250P, so I think your chances of winning are quite high!"

"Only 150P? Tyrannosaurus God, you are a very cautious person. I accept this mission."

Tyrannosaurus Rex was being too long-winded. It was getting late, and he needed to go back for dinner. He didn't want to take up any more of Lao Chen's and Tan Yue's time.

So Zhang Chaoqiang urged them to finalize the matter as soon as possible.

After briefly understanding the mission details, Zhang Chaoqiang didn't want to dwell on the other details; he just wanted to finalize the deal as soon as possible.

The two reached an agreement and, witnessed by the staff of the Martial Arts Shop, signed a mission contract. Zhang Chaoqiang also received a Screaming Chicken Crystal Core as a deposit in advance.

Without a second thought, driven by the pulsating sensation of "learning by imitation" within his body, he inserted the crystal core into his body and slowly refined and absorbed it.

A second-order crystal core brings in 18% of the progress, while the first-order core will likely bring in significantly less.

"Let's finalize the timeline as soon as possible."

Zhang Chaoqiang needed the Screaming Chicken Crystal Core urgently, he instructed.

“Baicheng District…” Zhang Chaoqiang murmured.

Tyrannosaurus God has given himself some direction.

On several school days this week, Zhang Chaoqiang would run around everywhere after class every evening.

Reminded by the Tyrannosaurus God, he decided to change the battle area.

Because so many people in Qingting District knew him, the martial arts schools there avoided him like the plague, and no one was willing to accept Zhang Chaoqiang's challenge.

Because the vast majority of martial arts schools are for people above the level of mortals, with the first level being the maximum. Although they are martial artists, most of them do not exceed the first level.

This is the most common and popular martial arts school.

Some of the more advanced martial arts schools have disciples who are at least at the first rank, but these are already very powerful grassroots forces.

Their martial arts schools typically do not accept challenges from the public or open their facilities freely.

Baicheng District is relatively remote, and it has the largest number of martial arts schools in Tianan City.

Meanwhile, public martial arts arenas, as well as private combat spaces like the Baicheng District Cultural Martial Arts Arena, have also been tested. Compared to Qingting District, Baicheng District has a stronger martial arts atmosphere.

Most of the people who frequent these public martial arts arena are at least mortals, but not yet at the first level.

Those who possess even a tiny bit of martial arts talent, but not many, can ultimately only use it as a hobby and for physical fitness.

These are precisely the people Zhang Chaoqiang is targeting.

These past few evenings have all been spent in various public martial arts arenas in Baicheng District.

Zhang Chaoqiang is a very famous name, but few people have actually seen his face, so few people really know him, especially in Baicheng District, which is far from Qingting District.

Many people accepted the challenge, and they were mostly quasi-martial artists who were slightly stronger than ordinary people, with a skill level of around 100P.

With his exceptional skills, Zhang Chaoqiang could easily defeat such a person, even in his physical form.

However, adhering to the idea of ​​taking advantage of the opponent's mistakes, Zhang Chaoqiang tried to make his opponent hit him as many times as possible, so as to maximize his role in the match.

After two days, although I haven't completed the goal of "killing or being killed by a hundred people", I have completed "activating my body" and "living Buddha" once each.

Internal organs +0.02, body +0.03

It's still not strong enough. This is the result of Zhang Chaoqiang spending four or five hours over two whole nights.

If only it could be like the battle that took place in the waters off Hagen, where he faced hundreds of opponents at once, allowing his goals to progress at breakneck speed.

Unfortunately, although he made this request, none of the martial artists were willing to comply.

When you're out in the world of martial arts, you have to uphold martial ethics; that's their motto—it's always one-on-one. This applies when they're frequenting various martial arts arenas.

He had also heard of the Tang-style martial arts school that Tyrannosaurus Rex had mentioned; this school was very large in Baicheng District.

The martial arts school has over a hundred disciples.

However, Tang-style martial arts schools often appeared together with a martial arts school called Bao Family Martial Arts School.

There was probably some dispute between the two martial arts schools. Zhang Chaoqiang didn't inquire further. He guessed that Tyrannosaurus God was the so-called heir or disciple of the Bao family martial arts school.

In any case, the two are in competition, but the fact that the Bao family has to seek help from an outsider suggests that the Bao family has probably declined.
