I'm not sick!
You can't even touch the hem of their clothes, yet you dare to yell at them like that. Honestly, aren't you ashamed of yourself?!
Chen Xu sneered, but his movements suddenly became much faster!
Just because a tiger isn't roaring doesn't mean it's a sick cat.
Once Chen Xu increased his speed, the situation immediately changed.
Chen Xu's figure instantly pressed against the opponent, his fists, elbows, and knees striking with ruthless ferocity, each move aimed directly at the opponent's vital points!
Huang Chong's character already had only half health left, and with Chen Xu's fierce attack, he didn't even have time to react before Chen Xu beat him to death!
The entire audience was stunned!
Huang Chong was the champion of the school's first "Martial Arts Masters" competition, but who would have thought that he wouldn't even have a chance to fight back against Chen Xu?!
A complete victory! Chen Xu didn't lose a single drop of health!
What is this? This is utterly disgraceful!
Huang Chong gasped for breath. He had already realized the vast difference in skill between himself and Chen Xu; it was indeed not a small gap. With his intelligence, he knew that continuing the fight would only result in defeat, but how could he possibly swallow his pride?!
Martial arts is not simply a game of intelligence; it tests many aspects, including hand speed, dexterity, and so on.
Originally, Dr. Li did not agree to have such an uncertain match with Chen Xu, but Huang Chong and the others believed that their strength had reached a certain level. But who knew... they would still lose so badly!
"Is it luck?!" Huang Chong didn't say a word, his eyes red as he wanted to enter the second round, but suddenly someone put their hand on his shoulder and said, "Forget it, there's no need to fight the second round. In terms of 'Martial Arts,' Chen Xu, you are indeed the world's number one. We concede defeat in this aspect."
Huang Chong was taken aback. Who else but him had the right to admit defeat?
But when he looked up, he saw Jimmy. Jimmy looked at him too and said, "Right? Huang Chong?!" A simple, unassuming remark, yet Huang Chong felt a surge of killing intent. He knew this Jimmy was no ordinary person, definitely not someone he could afford to offend. He quickly replied, "Okay, okay..."
Guan Yi and the others were naturally there to watch the match. When they saw Huang Chong's performance, Guan Yi and Zhan Jing couldn't help but think, "He's so respectful to this mixed-race guy?!" One of the girls was as smart as a man, and the other was calm by nature but had eyes that could see through everything.
Both women knew that today's competition wasn't just a simple battle of wits; behind it lay a vast power and vortex unimaginable to ordinary college students. So, as soon as they arrived, the two women observed each other's expressions. They discovered that most people in the Life Sciences Department followed Huang Chong's lead, but Huang Chong and the few who worked in Dr. Li's lab all followed Jimmy's lead!
This Jimmy is definitely not simple!
"It seems I need to go back and ask Douglas to check this person's information."
"Looks like I need to go back and check online to see if there's any information about this person."
The two women surprisingly thought in unison: "This person is definitely not simple!"
Jimmy smiled at Chen Xu: "Chen Xu is indeed very skilled. We'll just concede this round. Losing to SMMH's apprentice isn't shameful."
His words brought a look of relief to the previously indignant faces of the life science students… Yes, that was SMMH's apprentice! The first player of "Martial Artist"! Heaven knows when he started playing this game?! And he single-handedly took on the Koreans… Losing to him is certainly not shameful!
Chen Xu smiled, but inwardly he felt a chill. A single sentence had rallied morale—that was no ordinary feat. This guy…he didn't know his identity, but in any case…he was a formidable opponent!
Jimmy didn't look at Chen Xu again, but patted Huang Chong on the shoulder and smiled, "Let's move on to the next match. I believe in you."
Huang Chong was stunned for a moment, and his previously somewhat discouraged face immediately showed a strong fighting spirit. He looked at Chen Xu and said, "Come on, I admit defeat in this match, but I definitely won't lose to you in the next one!"
Chen Xu smiled and said, "Alright, what shall we compete in?!"
Huang Chong said proudly, "Let's compare intelligence! That is, memory and calculation ability!"
"Memory and calculation abilities?!"
Huang Chong smiled arrogantly: "Chen Xu, haven't you always thought of yourself as a genius? A genius's memory should be exceptional, right? I'll compete with you in this! Do you dare?!"
Chen Xu almost burst out laughing. If this had happened yesterday, I might have been afraid of you, but today… with Xiao Min possessing him, what else does Chen Xu have to fear compared to these two things?!
So Chen Xu forced a laugh and said, "You mean, it's another brain-capacity game we played last time?"
Last time, Chen Xu won the game by having Xiao Min cheat, but Huang Chong scoffed, "That game is too idiotic, there's nothing to compare. If we're going to compare, let's compare something high-level! Let's play Texas Hold'em!"
Chen Xu almost spat out his water!
Well, aren't you just asking for trouble?!
Chen Xu was just wondering what use his ability was, when this guy just blurted it out.
Huang Chong, oblivious to Chen Xu's barely suppressed urge to laugh, arrogantly declared, "All in! We each have one minute to look at our cards. Don't tell me you don't know how to play."
Chen Xu forced a laugh: "You're really good at this! One minute to look at the cards? You mean everyone memorizes all the cards?!"
"It's not just about memorizing, nor is it just about who remembers the most. It's also about using the rules of Texas Hold'em to get the cards you want while forcing your opponent to play theirs. Of course, gambling is not allowed in school. We're just playing cards, no chips involved. How about it, are you in?!"
Chen Xu laughed heartily: "What's there to be afraid of? But if you're willing to bring your own chips, I'd prefer it!"
Chapter 300: Memory!
When Chen Xu said that, Huang Chong hesitated.
His hesitation wasn't due to a lack of confidence in his own skills, but rather because he knew how could his meager resources compare to Chen Xu's!
In a game like Texas Hold'em, if there's a huge disparity in financial resources between the two players, it's pointless. The other player bets without thinking, and if you can't keep up, there's nothing you can do; you can't even see their hole cards.
As for Chen Xu's wealth, putting aside everything else, he could easily throw away several hundred thousand yuan. How could he compare to Chen Xu in that respect? Although he really wanted to make a fortune while defeating Chen Xu.
At this moment, Jimmy, standing behind him, smiled and said, "Chen Xu, gambling is illegal in China. Besides, I've heard that you're incredibly wealthy, already the chairman of a foundation with assets worth billions at such a young age. How can we compare to you? However, a little gambling is harmless fun, and adding some chips would make it more exciting..." He pretended to think for a moment, "How about this, everyone has a thousand virtual chips, and the game ends when the first person runs out. And to add some fun, let's add some extra bets." He looked at the three women behind Chen Xu and laughed, "I've long heard that you have three beautiful female companions, so how about this: if you lose later, you can give one of them a kiss right then and there. Heh, brother, I haven't treated you unfairly, have I?!"
After Jimmy finished speaking, a chorus of jeers erupted around him, with even many from the computer science department joining in. In their eyes, this was an incredible stroke of good fortune, but Chen Xu's face fell.
That guy is really cunning!
"All-in poker is a game that really tests your mental arithmetic and memory," he said. His goal was to unsettle him! And he kept saying it was for his own good. This guy is really something else!
It's common knowledge at Hexie University that Chen Xu has ambiguous relationships with the three of them. After all, Chen Xu is undoubtedly the most famous person at the university right now. And when it comes to the most beautiful girls, Guan Yi and the other two are naturally among the top. So, everyone knows that Chen Xu has ambiguous relationships with the three of them. But if you ask him which of the three he's closer to, even Chen Xu himself probably can't say!
So this guy used this as an excuse to disrupt Chen Xu's concentration.
Guan Yi and the other two blushed, but they were cursing inwardly. What could they say in front of everyone at this moment?
Chen Xu sneered, "Jimmy, you've certainly got a good plan."
Jimmy smiled and said, "I'm doing this for your own good. Wavering back and forth and being indecisive is something that will harm both yourself and others."
Chen Xu narrowed his eyes. He understood the implication of the man's words: admitting he was wavering between the three women wasn't just putting pressure on him, but also on Guan Yizhan, Jing, and Gao Xiaojie! Because of their current relationship, it was difficult to call it just ordinary friendship anymore, yet there was a thin veil separating them. No one dared to break the silence; everyone pretended to know nothing.
However, at this moment, an outsider exposed the truth, and instantly, everyone's expressions turned grim.
Chen Xu squinted at Jimmy. The guy had a genuinely sincere and harmless smile on his face, but Chen Xu knew that beneath that smile was a raging beast!
Chen Xu spat out a few words through gritted teeth: "No need for you to trouble yourself!"
Jimmy smiled, knowing he had achieved his goal, and said nothing more.
Huang Chong stood up: "Chen Xu, let's move on to the next round!"
Chen Xu suddenly smiled and waved his finger contemptuously at Huang Chong, saying, "Are you worthy?"
"What?"
Chen Xu stood up, and said with a cold laugh, enunciating each word clearly: "I said, are you worthy?!"
Huang Chong said coldly, "What do you mean by that?"
"What do you mean?" Chen Xu sneered. He was extremely frustrated, and his words were naturally less refined: "Hmph, you want to know what I mean? Then I'll tell you! Who are you? What qualifications do you have to challenge me?!"
This statement caused an uproar!
Chen Xu sneered, "You, an ordinary student, don't think you're qualified to soar to the top just because you've latched onto Dr. Li! In my eyes, you're nothing but a pathetic worm. Do you think you can step on others' heads through your research? Bah! Hmph, I am the top disciple of the internet god SMMH, owning five percent of the shares in 'Babel Tower Translator,' with a net worth of billions, even tens of billions. I have a lot to do. You say you want to challenge me? When I'm in a good mood, I might be interested in finding a toy to play with, but when I'm in a bad mood, why do you think I'll still be in the mood to play with you?!"
Upon hearing this, the computer science students cheered. Although Chen Xu's words were too domineering, that's exactly what they wanted right now!
Huang Chong gritted his teeth: "What do you want?!"
"Thirty million US dollars, I'll play a game with you!" Chen Xu sneered as he pulled out a checkbook from his pocket and scribbled a few words on it: "This is a Swiss bank draft, you can have it if you win!"
"Hiss!" Everyone felt that Chen Xu was being far too domineering; it was like throwing money at people!
Thirty million US dollars!
What ordinary student has ever seen thirty million US dollars? Let alone US dollars, very few people have even seen thirty million RMB!
Huang Chong's fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. If he didn't know he couldn't beat Chen Xu, he would have already attacked! This guy, trying to bribe his way out?! Hmph, what else does he have besides money?!
The students in the School of Life Sciences fell silent, staring blankly at the white check on the table—thirty million US dollars…that would be thirty million US dollars!
Although they all considered themselves the chosen ones, many planning to study abroad and with money, sports cars, and beautiful women holding no appeal for them, a profound sense of powerlessness welled up within them: "Even if I work myself to the bone my whole life, can I earn thirty million US dollars?!"
Jimmy looked at the check with an unusual calm: "Chen Xu, isn't what you're doing a bit too much of an abuse of power?"
Chen Xu looked at him and said coldly, "Shut up! Don't think you can cause trouble here just because you have a little bit of cleverness. If it weren't for Dr. Li's sake, I would have killed you long ago! You piece of trash who uses drugs to enhance your IQ!"
Upon hearing this, not only Jimmy, but also Huang Chong and the others' expressions changed instantly.
Surprise, fear, disbelief!
Jimmy stared at Chen Xu, pointing a finger at him, his lips trembling as if he wanted to speak, but ultimately he didn't say anything.
However, judging from his lip movements, Chen Xu knew he must have meant to say, "How did you know?!"
Chen Xu looked at them coldly, and suddenly felt that they were incredibly sad!
Forcibly using drugs to enhance intelligence can lead to drug-like dependence! Furthermore, once the medication is stopped, intelligence will decline even further than before!
Long-term use will only have one result... that everyone will become an idiot!
Smart drugs?
Scientists believe they can change everything with their own power, but they are under the control of the laws of nature. Any similar drug that brings breakthroughs to humanity in the short term will cause them to lose much more!
These are the rules!
And these poor guys just think their experiment isn't perfect enough!
Nothing in this world can ever be perfect! And that's the rule. You have to pay a price for whatever you gain!
Chen Xu sneered, picked up the check from the table, and put it in his pocket. He noticed a square, hard lump in one of Huang Chong's pockets. A thought flashed through his mind, and he instantly reached out and grabbed it! Huang Chong was so shocked he hadn't expected Chen Xu to make a move. Even if he had, what could he do?! Chen Xu's skills were far beyond Huang Chong's ability to resist.
Chen Xu grabbed the package; it was indeed an unopened deck of cards. With a cold smile, he unpacked the cards. After skillfully shuffling them, he placed them on the table and pulled them apart with his right hand. The 54 cards were neatly and evenly arranged in a row, face up.
Chen Xu glanced at the cards, then reached for a newspaper next to him to cover them up. He then sat down at the computer and started typing away rapidly without any pause!
After the fight, Chen Xu stood up and said to the clueless computer science students behind him, "Let's go. Guys like this aren't qualified to challenge me."
The computer science students now all followed Chen Xu's lead, and seeing him walk out first, they immediately followed. Intimidated by Chen Xu's domineering aura, no one in the life sciences department dared to utter a word!
After the computer science students had all left the computer lab, Jimmy, realizing what had happened, rushed to the computer Chen Xu had just used and saw a Word document on the screen.
