Gao Wuming: From Dockworker to Physical Achievement

after a while.

A dozen or so leaders stood at the front of the gang members and shouted towards the noodle shop: "All 2,215 members of the Dock Gang are here and greet you."

Qin Tianqi raised his arm.

The two thousand two hundred gang members spoke in unison.

"Master Yi."

"Good morning."

The scene of more than two thousand people shouting in unison was truly spectacular.

If you were in front of those two thousand people, the perception would be doubled.

Chen Ruian was stunned by the scene before him.

He stammered, "Nephew, what... what is this?"

Chen Yi smiled and said, "Uncle, didn't I already tell you?"

"What did he say?" Chen Ruian couldn't quite grasp the meaning for a moment.

Chen Yi looked at the gang members and shouted, "What did you call me?"

The gang members said, enunciating each word clearly: "Master Yi!"

Chen Yi turned to look at Chen Ruian: "Uncle, did you hear what they were shouting?"

The facts were undeniable, leaving Chen Ruian no choice but to believe them.

He stared at Chen Yi with wide eyes and said, "You were the one who fought with the martial arts master at the dock."

You're the one who organized the strike and demanded equal wages from the foreigners.

Gang fight, the one smoking a cigar, is that you?

"Were you the one who raided the opium den?"

Chen Yi nodded and said, "That's right, it's all me. I'm the boss of the dock gang."

Seeing that his uncle completely believed him, Chen Yi turned around and waved his hand: "Brothers, you've worked hard. Go do what you need to do."

The gang members shouted, "Serving Master Yi is no trouble at all!"

They then gradually left.

Chen Yi then returned to the noodle shop and sat down at Chen Ruian's table.

Suddenly I noticed that the noodle shop owner had squatted down in the corner at some point.

He was clearly a burly man, but at this moment he looked weak and helpless.

Chen Yi couldn't help but chuckle: "What are you hiding there for? I don't eat people. Make me another bowl... ten bowls of noodles, and you'll be paid for it."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Yi, I'll make it right away. No need for money." The noodle shop owner quickly got up with a smile and went to the stove to make noodles.

While putting the noodles into the pot, he secretly glanced at Chen Yi.

The leader of the dock gang, now a figure of great influence at the docks.

They went on strike with foreigners, wiped out the Green Gang, and even clashed with the police department.

They didn't respect the imperial court or foreigners.

When people at the docks talk about such a person, they often say that he must be ten feet tall, with a neck as thick as a water bucket, whose laughter can frighten people into fainting, and who can eat a whole cow in one meal.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a young man who looked only slightly thin.

The noodle shop owner thought to himself, "What do you mean by saying he's seen Master Yi from the dock gang, a man as big as a mountain, with a face full of black hair like Zhang Fei? Bah, that's all bullshit."

He was referring to his drinking buddies, who were all vendors from the surrounding area. Some of them claimed to have seen Chen Yi, bragging without any basis.

Chen Yi sat in his seat waiting for his noodles, and even now, his body did not stop practicing martial arts.

My current level of proficiency is still increasing.

Chen Yi glanced at his arm.

The well-defined muscles possess both power and aesthetic appeal.

The accumulation of attributes and the improvement of martial arts did not turn him into a muscular man with huge muscles.

Instead, he was well-proportioned and looked no different from an ordinary manual laborer.

His increased strength doesn't require his muscles to grow bigger; rather, it's like solid wood turning into iron.

With the same volume, the internal mass increases continuously, thus becoming more powerful.

Before long, the noodle shop owner had prepared the noodles and brought them over.

The portions are very generous, and the bowls are large, so they are served one bowl at a time.

Chen Yi grabbed the rim of the scalding hot bowl and poured it directly into his mouth.

Then he tossed the empty bowl aside.

The noodle shop owner would bring him a bowl, and he would eat a bowl; he would bring him another bowl, and he would eat a bowl.

When the noodle shop owner brought over all the noodles, there was a huge pile of empty bowls in front of him.

The noodle shop owner thought to himself, "The mountain-like man is fake, and the lack of black hair on his face doesn't make him Zhang Fei, but the fact that he can eat a whole cow in one meal is probably true."

The other person's stomach was like a bottomless pit; no matter how much they ate, it was never full.

"How much?" Chen Yi asked.

These ten bowls of noodles were just enough to satisfy his cravings.

As for how his stomach could hold so much food, it was due to the effect of his blood and qi attributes, which made his digestion exceptionally fast.

Even he himself was surprised.

"This money..." the noodle shop owner hesitated.

Back in the days of the Green Gang, even the minor leaders would come to eat without paying.

He even had to rush to flatter him, saying it was an honor for Brother So-and-so to come and eat there, and that he should definitely come more often in the future.

Chen Yi, a dock gang leader even more powerful than the Green Gang, was actually giving him money.

It's not like they're pretending to give it to him, but then suddenly turning on him and killing him when he tries to take it.

The dock gang has been killing people everywhere for the past month.

Martial arts masters were killed, Green Gang members were killed, police officers were killed, and even foreigners were killed.

Killing a small noodle shop owner is easier than crushing an ant.

And not only did no one pursue the matter, but some people, in order to curry favor with Chen Yi, even went after his entire family...

"What are you standing there for? How much is it? Do you think I can't even afford a bowl of noodles? How much would twelve bowls of noodles cost?" Chen Yi said impatiently.

The noodle shop owner dared not hesitate any longer and quickly said, "Six copper coins a bowl, that's seventy-two in total, give me seventy."

He regretted saying it as soon as he did.

I subconsciously rounded down to zero. This Mr. Yi seems to care a lot about his reputation. I hope he won't think I'm looking down on him and try to kill me.

Chen Yi tossed out a large silver dollar: "Keep the change."

The copper coins were given to the dockworkers, but he himself hadn't used them in a long time.

The minimum charge is always a few dollars.

After handing over the money, Chen Ruian finally came to his senses from the immense shock.

He stared at Chen Yi, looking him up and down, left and right.

Suddenly, he said, "Do you remember when you were seven years old, you helped the old man at the village entrance pick dates, and your dad and I praised you for what?"

"Uncle, I was stealing dates from Grandpa Zhang's house, and my dad was chasing me and beating me. It was only because you stopped me that I didn't get a beating," Chen Yi said with a smile.

Chen Ruian let out a breath; the person in front of him did indeed appear to be his nephew.

If Chen Yi hadn't mentioned the seven-year-old incident, he would have thought the person in front of him was the dock gang leader who looked like his nephew.

His real nephew was imprisoned by the other party as a substitute.

Having confirmed Chen Yi's identity, he became curious again: "Brother Yi, how did you do that? You were still moving goods a month ago."

Chen Yi said, "Thanks to the Returning Mountain Fist manual you brought me, Uncle, I was able to become a martial arts master by practicing that fist technique and make a name for myself. Later, I acquired more martial arts skills, which enabled me to achieve what I have today."

"Without that boxing manual, I don't know when I would have ever made a name for myself. It's all thanks to you, Uncle."

He was speaking from the heart, after all, the Returning Mountain Fist Technique is a very important starting martial art.

Chen Ruian was somewhat bewildered: "Really? Just relying on that?"
