“Looks like it really won’t work. In that case, I will sell these bottles.”

Seeing that the bottle was not as useful as he had imagined, Zhou Chen placed them on the trading area. The price was 5,000, leaving only the largest coke bottle for himself.

After dealing with the matter of selling equipment, he washed his mask and dried it before trying on his new desert camouflage suit.
This desert camouflage was a complete set, including a shirt and pants.

Just as he had expected, this set of clothes suited him very well. It was as if it was tailor-made for him.
Moreover, it was comfortable to wear. The fabric felt very firm and was very suitable for Survival missions.
“I still need a pair of shoes, I’ll buy a matching pair of short combat boots.”
Zhou Chen thought for a moment and turned on his phone. He spent some time choosing and purchasing two pairs of short combat boots from an online store. This matched with the desert camouflage suit he was wearing.
Then, he took out the machete and played with it for a while before putting it and his camouflage suit back into the inventory space and changing into a clean casual outfit.
“I will take a walk outside, it’s been a while since I last strolled around Yang City at night.”
Although it was already dark, Zhou Chen, who had just woken up, was in good spirits. He chose to take a stroll outside.
As a large city, this Yang City was as lively at night as during the day, and many places were still open.
When he walked out of the room and arrived outside, he realized that his Low Light Vision passive skill had taken effect, allowing him to see some areas in the corners with poor light.
This feeling was actually a little strange. Zhou Chen felt that he had yet to completely adapt to it.
After walking for a while along the streets that were flashing with various advertisements, he unwittingly arrived at a place that he was rather familiar with: Weijiang Dojo.
“Boss Liu’s dojo is not closed at night?”
Zhou Chen remembered that the Weijiang Dojo usually closed after dark. He did not expect that the lights were still on, and there were many people inside.
Zhou Chen was interested and quickly walked into the dojo.
The moment he entered the hall, he saw a circle of people surrounding the ring. Some of these people were holding cameras, while others were recording with their phones. The targets were the two old men who were fighting in the ring.
One of the old men was Boss Liu. Zhou Chen didn’t recognize the other, but judging from the latter’s figure and clothes, he might also be in the dojo business.
“All the best, Master Wang!”
“Master Wang is dominating!”
“Master Wang will win!”
…
The audience watching the fight shouted excitedly. It sounded like they were all cheering for Master Wang.
“Master Wang? He should be the one competing with Boss Liu on the ring. This person came to Boss Liu’s dojo to compete. It doesn’t look like he is simply here to dojo challenge?”

Zhou Chen immediately had a guess in his heart. He looked at the other old man on the stage who was beaten until his eyes turned green and his body swayed, but he still did not fall. He felt a little speechless.
Although this Boss Liu was the owner of the Weijiang Dojo, he did not know any martial arts at all. The punches he made were completely nonsense, but Boss Liu was always confident and thought that he was a martial arts master. This time, it was a tragedy as he encountered an old man who really knew how to fight.
“Although Boss Liu’s martial arts aren’t good, he treats me quite well, and lets me use the equipment here to train for a low price. I have to cheer him on.”
Although he knew that Boss Liu would definitely lose, when he saw that no one was cheering for him, he immediately shouted loudly, “Master Liu, you can do it! Master Liu, you can win!”
While he was shouting, the others were cheering for the other old man, Master Wang. Originally, Zhou Chen thought that shouting like this amidst the noise would not attract too much attention. Unexpectedly, just as he finished shouting, several people below the ring turned their gazes to him.
“Lad, how is this Old Liu a master? He’s a cheat! You can’t support a cheat!”
A middle-aged man holding a camera frowned and said to Zhou Chen.
“That’s right! We’re here to support Master Wang to expose this cheat!”
Another young man who was holding a phone turned to Zhou Chen and said.
“Cheat? What cheat? Did Master Liu cheat anyone?”
Zhou Chen was puzzled.
“Of course!”
The young man had a surprised expression as if saying ‘you don’t even know this?’.
“This Old Liu has recently released a video of his something hell fist on the dragon web. His standard is very low. He was mocked by the netizens, but he instead claimed to be the most orthodox martial arts master and deceived the citizens! The influence of this on the martial arts community is very bad! That’s why Master Nine Extremes Fist King came today to expose this cheat!”
“Oh…”
Zhou Chen immediately believed half of it because he was the one who had helped Boss Liu upload the video of his martial arts on the dragon web. Unexpectedly, it developed like this, but it was not unimaginable.
“Then did Boss Liu swindle anyone of their money?”
He asked again, because he felt that the bottom line should be if Boss Liu cheated someone of their money. If Boss Liu really began to swindle people, then he really shouldn’t protect him.
“Swindle? Him?”
The young man smiled disdainfully.
“Even a child would scoff at that martial arts video. Who would be cheated out of money by him?”
“Alright…”
Although he was speechless, Zhou Chen had to agree.
‘Boss Liu’s martial arts is indeed problematic, but since he doesn’t cheat money and only believes that his martial art is very strong, it’s not a big issue. He’s just a little too confident, I need to support him.’
Zhou Chen confirmed his stand. As a regular customer of Boss Liu’s dojo, he had to stand on his side.
“Master Liu will win!”
He shouted again.
However, his shout did not seem to have any positive effect. Instead, after shouting, Boss Liu was beaten to the ground by Master Wang. He lost very badly.
Soon, two people who looked like doctors walked up and carried Boss Liu onto a stretcher. The winner, Master Wang, gave a victory speech.
“Everyone! Today, I have exposed another fake! I have proven that the owner of this Weijiang Dojo is a cheat! I hope that everyone will not be deceived by his martial arts videos in the future! Everyone, you have to believe that our Dragon Country has true martial arts legacies!”

While Master Wang was giving his victory speech, Zhou Chen had already walked to Boss Liu’s side on the stretcher.
“Boss Liu, are you okay?”
He looked down at Boss Liu’s bruised face and said.
“Little Zhou? You’re here?”
Although Boss Liu looked to be in a miserable state, he seemed to be in good spirits. When he realized that it was Zhou Chen, he tried his best to get up from the stretcher.
“Little Zhou, let me tell you. Actually, I won just now! I already hit him, then stopped because the outcome was determined! But he doesn’t care about martial ethics! He deceived and ambushed me!”
