"..."
"So, if you want the boat to set sail quickly, cooperate with me." The disheveled middle-aged man said with a smile, "You come up with me, and you can improvise whatever I say."
“…Try it.”
After considering for five seconds, Lu Chen simply nodded to save time.
But once I actually went up there...
He then realized he had been scammed...
This isn't teamwork at all!
Am I now your henchman?!

"Little ones!"
"What's the point of you fighting like this? Let the spirits out and have a real contest; that would be more worthy of the martial arts school's reputation!"
The beggar-dressed uncle laughed loudly.
He stood directly at the entrance of the ferry and nudged the group of people who were being beaten.
"Where did this old geezer come from?"
"Is this another one of those charades by your Thunder Martial Arts Academy?!"
"Bullshit! Thunder Martial Arts School operates with integrity and never engages in these underhanded tactics!"
"I doubt this kind of tactic was devised by your Xiangyun Martial Arts School!"
"Get lost!"
The people in the mob below weren't all fools.
In their struggle for ferry slots, the worst that could happen was a brawl between them.
If the spirits were really released and unleashed their full power to injure people...
They're probably not going to be met by law enforcement.
It's the Special Operations Division!
"Old man, where do you belong? This is our own business. If you want to go to Bajing City, just wait patiently for us to finish. I'll give you a spot later."
"Exactly, at your age, don't try to be a hero like young people. Why not just wait patiently?!"
The crowd below all glanced at the beggar.
They didn't take him seriously.
Then he lashed out at his opponent from the martial arts school across the street.
"Hehe, I'm really going to take charge of this today!"
The beggar laughed heartily.
Then, as if performing some kind of qigong, he opened his mouth wide and shouted:
"I've chartered this boat for today. Anyone who disagrees, come find me!"
Lu Chen: ? ? ?
ha?
no……
Are you that brave?
Lu Chen stared wide-eyed at the beggar uncle in front of him.
Chartering a boat?
"Old man, this is no joke, you're really going to take it all?"
below.
The Thunder Martial Arts School and Soaring Cloud Martial Arts School, who were fighting, both stopped what they were doing and stared intently at the beggar.
Especially the leaders of the two martial arts schools.
The two stood at the ferry entrance, carefully examining the beggar.
"The rule of 'chartering the boat' was personally set by the head of the martial arts schools in Bajing City. Anyone who charters the boat must subdue all the martial arts schools present on the boat... Old man, are you sure you want to charter the boat?"
"This rule is very real. Don't take on a job you're not qualified for. I'm letting you off the hook because you're getting on in years. If you regret it, we can pretend we didn't hear you."
The leaders of the two martial arts schools spoke up, their gazes unfriendly.
after all.
The term "chartering a boat" is familiar to everyone in martial arts schools in Bajing City.
This has even become an unspoken rule of the Bajing City Ferry.
Lanjiang Ferry, which has contracted the entire ferry industry in Bajing City, is also well aware of the consequences of this rule.
As long as someone offers to charter a boat.
And if you successfully defeat all the martial arts schools present, you can charter an entire ferry.
Anyone who wants to cross the river must get this person's permission!
And this kind of thing.
This was common during the fighting tournaments that were first held in Hachikei City.
Most of the trainers who came to participate were confident in their abilities.
It can gradually transition over time.
these past few years.
Each year, the participating trainers gained a general understanding of the approximate level of the Hakkei City Martial Arts School.
They wanted to charter the boat.
We must use our strength to convince all the martial arts schools present.
This is how it happened.
Anyone who utters these two words will definitely be targeted by all the martial arts trainers in Hakkei City.
This targeting is not limited to any particular rule.
That means when you go on stage, their martial arts school will use a series of matches.
They'll use any means necessary.
They used techniques like shared fate, deadly poison, and even hypnotic powder directly on the target.
What if I can't hold on and want to give up...
Ha ha.
Excuse me.
The martial arts schools in Bajing City are not to be trifled with.
All the martial arts schools in the city will blacklist you.
As a result, finding a hotel to stay in Hakkei City is a problem.
Many martial arts school apprentices and disciples graduate from the school.
But he went straight home to inherit the family business.
I won't say more.
In Bajing City, over 90% of the shops, accommodations, restaurants, and even internet cafes and teahouses are owned by apprentices or disciples of various martial arts schools.
If it fails.
Forget about participating in the Fighting Tournament, I'm afraid I won't even be able to buy Pokémon food when I first arrive in Hachishou City.
"Hehe, I'm a man of my word!" The beggar uncle chuckled, his eyes shining even brighter. "I've chartered this boat today, and nobody can stop me, I said it!!"
The words fell.
The students and disciples of Thunder Martial Arts School and Soaring Cloud Martial Arts School looked at each other in bewilderment.
Each of them gave a call to action.
Have the apprentices gather together and simultaneously call their respective martial arts schools and dojos to notify them.
"Senior Brother, someone wants to charter the entire boat for us!"
“Hehe, Master, someone here wants to charter the boat… Ah! It’s a guy dressed as a beggar. Hmm, no, this old beggar seems to be followed by a young man. I don’t recognize him, but he looks very young, probably no more than twenty years old.”
……
The call ended.
Du Yuan from Thunder Martial Arts Academy and Zhou Wei from Soaring Cloud Martial Arts Academy exchanged a glance and then spoke seriously:
"Chartering a boat? I remember the last time was six years ago?"
"Yeah, that was also a fighting tournament, but the guy who chartered the boat ended up running away without even going to Hachikei City."
"I wonder where this old man got the guts? Old Du, could this guy be some kind of reclusive master like in the novels?!"
"Get lost, are reclusive masters really that common? I think the most likely candidate is the young man behind that old man. After all, chartering a boat doesn't mean the person in charge has to fight. Even if the people traveling with him come together, it's fine."
"What you're saying sounds even more far-fetched than what I'm talking about. That kid is younger than both of us. What kind of skill do you think he could possibly have? Let's finish this quickly. I need to rush back to register for the martial arts school's entrance exam!"
"That's true... but I'm taking this trip today. We'll fight again after we've dealt with this!"
The two finished their discussion.
His eyes subtly locked onto Lu Chen behind the beggar uncle.
I...
What is this thing called? !
If I play along with your emotions, I'll really become a henchman. (De Nuo Zhao)
