Even on weekday mornings, when there is very little traffic, this post received dozens of replies in an instant.

1l: [Really now? It’s so early. Is the boss a military student who has no classes? ]

2l: [Where’s he? Is he heading toward Game Street? Boss is going to abuse noobs again today? suddenly excited.jpg]

3l: [Wait, why are you all only looking at the boss? No one’s going to the top post by the young master of the Lavender family? Then I will. The bounty given by the young master is really generous! ]

4l: [What? Don’t even think about it. The first person to find out must have gone to contact the family a long time ago. It’s already too late for us folks in the forum. ]

Sure enough, not long after this reply was sent, the bounty post that had been hotly debated was marked as closed, followed by a small line that read “The payment has been settled”.

Seeing this, the player who just went to check the situation went back to the post that had built more than a dozen floors and then started discussing other topics as if nothing had happened.

54l: [Hey, why do you think the young master had to look for this big boss? And besides the forum, I haven’t seen any news from the Lavender family anywhere else; it’s not like they’re recruiting talents for their family. ]

60l: [Who can say clearly about these big families? Let me tell you, this mysterious boss may also be a talent newly cultivated by a certain family. That explains why we’ve never heard of him before. ]

61l: [Why do you make it so complicated? I heard that the young master was the first to match with the boss, and then the boss smashed the mecha with a punch. That must be hard to stomach! ]

66l: [F*ck, what kind of funny romantic drama is unfolding…]

67l: [? Something is wrong with you upstairs. ]

68l: [F*ck, it’s not advisable to drink sugar with brain supplements! Whose family has gone crazy with CPF, Please take them back!]

The whole post didn’t discuss the love-hate relationship between Bernie Lavender and the mysterious boss until the end.

There is no unified guess about the occupation of the mysterious boss. Some guess he’s the heir of a big family, some guess he’s a military student, and some guess he’s a military chief who abuses noobs out of boredom.

Originally, everyone was having a great time guessing and discussing, until a reply appeared.

189l: [Why did no one guess it was His Majesty? How violent this method is! How direct! How in line with the image of His Majesty! ]

190l: [Your brain is really big…]

It took a minute or two for a reply to float out of the originally buzzing thread.

After that, there were quite a few rebuttals to his words as well.

223l: [Can the stereotype of His Majesty not be carried over to his combat style? As long as you watch the battle scenes sent back by a few war reporters, you will know that His Majesty Clarice’s fighting style is not like this. ]

224l: [That is to say, His Majesty’s concern for everyone in the army is reflected in his fighting style, okay? He always chooses the more secure way of attack in order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices].

248l: [Yes! I was really shocked when I saw the battle video sent back by reporters. It’s a pity that later…]

Those who follow the post here are very clear about the meaning of the words that are not typed later. The manic episodes are becoming more frequent, causing more and more serious mental and physical damage, and gradually resorting to brutal methods…

260l: [Change the topic, change the topic, where is the boss? ]

261l: [Report! ! ! Enter the simulation scene training hall! ]

…

The discussion in the forum did not have much impact on Ji Mingjiang, probably because people were afraid of being hammered on the street or provoking some big family. Players who had seen that post more or less just stared at him from the side of the street. No one really dared to go up and stop him.

But when so many eyes are all focused on one person, a baby who has not received any training can feel uncomfortable, let alone Ji Mingjiang, whose five senses have been fully strengthened in all aspects.

Although he didn’t feel any malice from the eyes of the people around him, he straightened the mask on his face and walked quickly towards the simulated scene training hall he had his eyes on.

However, just a second before stepping into the training hall, after the robots that greeted him had already started running the program, he suddenly felt someone approaching him from behind.

Because Ji Mingjiang had been particularly sensitive to gazes along the way, he immediately sidestepped, and without looking back, he grabbed the arm that was about to touch his shoulder. His body bent slightly, and he threw that person in a clean over-the-shoulder slam.

When he heard the faint gasps coming from his surroundings, Ji Mingjiang was arranging his somewhat messy outer robe, smoothing out the folds on it before he looked up.

At this glance, he froze in place.

How come this person looks so familiar?

Just as he was desperately trying to find a name that could match the face of the person in front of him, the crowd that was surrounding him three layers inside out was parted like Moses parting the Red Sea.

“Make way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!”

“Young Master! Are you all right?”

As these voices got closer and closer, Ji Mingjiang was looking at the boy in front of him, whose hair was a little dusty from the beating just now. His face was showing anger, the corners of his mouth were pursed into a straight line, and he was a head shorter than him. Ji Mingjiang suddenly realized.

“Bernie Lavender?”

Hearing this name, the person in front of him quickly showed a “you’re sensible” expression.

With the help of the guards who rushed over, Bernie slowly stood up from the ground, and he angrily glanced at the crowd watching in the distance.

“What are you looking at! Go away!”

Although it’s a holographic scene, no one dares mess with the Lavender family. If the privileged class wants to transfer the information of an ordinary person, it’s as simple as drinking water.

Immediately, like scattered birds and wild animals, the crowd entered the game hall and exited the game street. Soon, only Ji Mingjiang and the four people on the opposite side, including Bernie, were left on the whole street.

“Hmph!” After everyone dispersed, Bernie Lavender looked at Ji Mingjiang and then signaled to his bodyguards with his eyes.

After receiving his signal, one of the guards who was standing respectfully behind him just now quickly stood in front of him with his head held high. After seizing Ji Mingjiang up, he stared closely at his expression and said, “I heard from our young master that you have some capability? Coincidentally, this simulation scene hall supports designated multiplayer matches.”

Hearing this, how could Ji Mingjiang not understand what he meant?

Sure enough, in the next second, the guard with a talent for changing his facial expression pointed at him and said disdainfully, “Compete with us three brothers. I want to see if you’re as skilled as what our young master said!”

ah……

Ji Mingjiang’s originally serious expression froze for a moment when he heard the last sentence.

One second your young master said I was capable, and the next second your young master said I was skilled?

Why don’t you turn around and look at your young master’s face, flushed so red that he was about to faint?

“Pierre! Come back!! What nonsense are you smoking over there!!!”

As he expected, just a few seconds after the voice of the guard in front of him fell, Bernie shouted back angrily.

After calling back the stupid guy who had good acting but lacked execution, Bernie took a breath, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“It just so happens that there aren’t many people in this hall, so we can have a good match. To be fair, you can pick one of my three guards for the match.”

“Wait.” Hearing this, Ji Mingjiang finally couldn’t bear it anymore, and politely interrupted Bernie’s words, and the other party also politely accepted his interruption.

Then the four people present heard the mysterious man in front of him point out a key issue in a flat and helpless tone, that is…

“Why do I have to agree to your challenge?”

In the holographic environment, the realistic wind brushed the corners of several people’s clothes. In the long silence, a voice that they thought was small but was actually very obvious sounded.

“Yeah, why?”

“Pierre! I’ll get my brother to give you extra practice when I get back!!!” Bernie snapped and looked in the direction the voice came from, gritting his teeth and growling low.

After seeing the two guards next to him quickly reach out to cover the mouth of this unreliable man, he took a deep breath and turned his head to look at the mysterious man who was still standing motionless.

“F*ck!”

Bernie Lavender, who has always been told by his family to be elegant and civilized, finally broke out a swear word.

Damn, the atmosphere is totally ruined! Now he just felt like he brought three incompetent men to perform a clown show for the person in front of him!

What is this? A street charity show?!

“There is no reason; you have to compete even if you don’t want to. There’s no option to refuse here!”

After finally uttering this sentence, which seemed out of place at this time, Bernie stared at the man who covered himself tightly in front of him.

What he didn’t expect was that when he was about to go home and threaten the three guards behind him not to say a word about today to his big brother, the man in front of him actually agreed!

Ji Mingjiang has never thought of refusing since the beginning; after all, he came to this scene hall to challenge others. Since that’s the case, he can fight whoever. Besides, although the three guards brought by the young master of the Lavender family looked a little silly, they should not be too weak.

As for what he said just now, naturally, it was to see how the young master would react.

He had to say it was quite interesting.

“I agree, but there’s no need to choose a person; choose multiplayer mode. Three of you come in together.” He glanced at Bernie Lavender, raised his head towards the three people behind him, and spoke casually.

“?”

The two guards who were struggling to cover Pierre’s mouth raised their heads and looked at him when they heard this.

When the two of them relaxed their hands, Pierre’s mouth became free again. He tensed the bulging muscles on his arms, and raised the corners of his mouth disdainfully at Ji Mingjiang.

“Hey, see, I’ve been practicing for thirty years, and my two brothers are similar to me. Our young master recognized your strength because you had a mecha at the time. This simulation scene is actually hand-on combat. Just looking at your small physique, tsk.”

Ji Mingjiang didn’t care about Pierre’s provocative and intimidating words. His eyes fell on Bernie, who was on the verge of losing it again.

Seeing his figure rushing towards the three guards angrily, Ji Mingjiang walked into the simulation scene hall first and left a sentence.

“I’m going in first, so if you guys don’t want to fight, then hurry up and leave. I still need to match with an opponent.”

Bernie pointed his finger at Pierre’s nose for a long time, but he couldn’t say anything serious. After all, every time he needed anything, his brother would call Pierre for him, and the two were more or less familiar with each other.

After hearing Ji Mingjiang’s tone remain unchanged, he kicked Pierre’s muscular calf angrily and said, “Hurry up and get in! He’s not afraid of anything you are afraid of. The holographic world won’t injure people for real!”

“Let’s go!” After the two guards on the left and one on the right signaled to the young master, they pulled up Pierre, who had been in a lot of trouble today, and then walked forward, saying, “Let’s teach that ignorant kid a lesson.”

Pierre was pulled by the two of them, and upon hearing this, he no longer struggled. He walked forward in unison, not forgetting to show loyalty, saying, “I will definitely beat that stinky boy down to avenge you, young master!”

Bernie, who was about to be pissed off at this stupid thing, stumbled on his feet and said, “Scram! Give me extra practice when we get out today!”
