Chapter 27: Conquered by You Just Like That
“Damn it, don’t go too far!”
“That’s right, you’ve already won so hurry up and get lost! How dare you expect our club president to kneel for you!”
The ones shouting loudly were all supporters of Yu Tianyi. They were already upset enough that their president had been defeated, but now this guy actually wanted the president to kneel and sing some “Conquest” song for him. Was he crazy?
Yang Mi also felt that Tang Chen was being a bit excessive and was about to say something when she heard Tang Chen sneer and say, “Too much? Are you kidding me? Since we made a bet, you have to keep your word. Oh, now that your president lost, you say I’m going too far. What if I had lost? I bet you jerks would have been so excited, pulling out your mobile phones to record me, Fang Wenxin, singing ‘Conquest,’ right?”
The students fell silent. What Tang Chen said was true, and they had no way to argue back.
Tang Chen snorted coldly and said to Yu Tianyi, “I thought you were a real man, but it turns out you’re not just an idiot, you’re also a coward. If you decide to make a bet, you have to be prepared to lose. I really look down on you so much.”
“You—”
“Shut up!” Yu Tianyi shouted loudly to stop his students, then looked at Tang Chen, gritted his teeth, and said, “I didn’t say I would go back on my word. I lost, so I lost. I’ll kneel.” As he spoke, he knelt down with a thud in front of Tang Chen.
“President, don’t kneel!” several students yelled. The president just knelt like that? The undefeated president just knelt like that? Damn it, why do I feel so heartbroken?
Only then did Tang Chen nod and say, “That’s more like it. Sing now. Don’t worry, I absolutely won’t record a video.”
Yu Tianyi’s eyes were downcast, his face full of defeat. Then, in his deep voice, he began to sing, “Just like that, I was conquered by you, cut off from all retreat. My mood is firm, my decision is foolish. Just like that, I was conquered by you, drinking the poison you hid…”
Just imagine, a big guy nearly two meters tall kneeling in front of you, singing the lyrics of “Conquest” in his terribly out-of-tune voice. How comical this scene was.
“Good, well sung! Even though it’s a bit off-key, it’s passable.” Tang Chen laughed so hard he rocked back and forth, occasionally clapping his hands. Probably only he was laughing in the entire dojo; the students all wore heavy expressions, and two with especially fragile hearts even shed tears. This was a disgrace, a disgrace to their Judo Club!
After the song finished, Tang Chen stopped laughing and said to Yu Tianyi, “Not bad. You actually suit my taste quite well. Accepting the outcome of the bet—that’s what a real man does. If you want to seek revenge or anything, I’m always welcome to it. Oh, and I’m thinking of taking you on as my lackey. If you want to be my little brother, come find me. My name is Tang Chen.”
Yu Tianyi gave a bitter smile, then suddenly staggered and fell to the ground. Probably from anger, his eyes rolled back and he passed out.
“Oh no, the president fainted from anger! Quick, call the school doctor!”
“No, call 120!” With Yu Tianyi fainting, the students panicked, and the scene immediately became noisy.
Tang Chen smiled smugly, then put his arm around Yang Mi and left the dojo. Fang Wenxin quickly followed them out.
“Young Master Tang.” Now, Fang Wenxin not only admired Tang Chen but was even a little afraid of him.
Tang Chen stopped and turned to look at him, saying, “You go ahead. I’ll find you if I need anything. I’m not really used to you following me around all the time.”
Fang Wenxin quickly nodded and said seriously to Tang Chen, “Yes, Young Master Tang. I’ll leave now then. If there’s anything, just give the order. I’ll go through fire and water without hesitation.”
Tang Chen waved his hand and laughed, scolding, “Cut the useless crap. Get lost.”
Fang Wenxin grunted in agreement, and without giving Yang Mi another longing look, he left directly.
Tang Chen had gained a little brother and felt his own prestige had instantly risen quite a bit. He took Yang Mi’s hand and said, “Yang Mi, let’s go. Let’s continue being intimate.”
Yang Mi blushed and let out a soft “mm,” seeming a bit unhappy.
Tang Chen, with his sharp perception, noticed immediately and asked, “Yang Mi, do you think what I did was a bit too much?”
Yang Mi first nodded, then shook her head, saying, “To be honest, Tang Chen, at first I did think you were going too far, but after hearing what you said, I thought about it carefully. If you had lost, they probably would have treated you even worse.”
Tang Chen asked, puzzled, “Then since you understand, why are you still unhappy? You’re not really angry with me, are you?”
Yang Mi looked up, her watery eyes fixed on Tang Chen, and said, “I’m not angry with you. I just feel like you’ve changed so much so suddenly that I almost don’t recognize you anymore. Tang Chen, promise me, from now on, don’t pick fights with people for no reason, okay? I’m worried about you.”
Tang Chen was moved by this tender concern. He hugged Yang Mi tightly and said, “Don’t worry, Yang Mi. I promise you: if others don’t provoke me, I won’t provoke them. As long as no one messes with me, I won’t go looking for trouble.”
Only then did Yang Mi smile, allowing Tang Chen’s lecherous hands to wander to her hips.
And so, the day passed. After parting with Yang Mi, Tang Chen returned to his rental apartment. Manager Zhang called to update him on the villa’s renovation progress. Tang Chen just gave a few instructions and hung up since he didn’t understand much about renovations anyway, so he left it all to Manager Zhang.
He spent five minutes reading the five chapters Zhao Xiaoxiao had updated today. Speaking of which, that guy was probably updating five chapters daily to thank Tang Chen for the Crown gift; he must be exhausted.
Tang Chen sat on his bed, recalling the fight at the Judo Club earlier. If the System hadn’t taken over his body, he would have been taken down by Yu Tianyi long ago. Speaking of which, that Yu Tianyi was really strong, which made him once again lament his own lack of strength.
“System, I want to ask you something.” Tang Chen thought for a moment and then spoke to the System.
System: “Respected Host, this System is surprised. You’re actually speaking to me so politely today.”
Tang Chen’s face darkened, and he angrily cursed, “You damn System, do you get an itch if I don’t scold you for a day? I finally try to speak to you gently, and you just ask for it, huh?”
System: “Respected Host, let’s skip that topic. Just tell me what you want.”
Tang Chen smiled triumphantly. This damn System, you’re scared now, huh? I knew all along you’re no match for me in a war of words.
“System, since you can transmit secret manuals into my brain, can you just reward me with a secret manual or something? That way, I could directly train with it, and in the future when I show off, I wouldn’t have to worry about getting beaten up.” Tang Chen asked full of anticipation.
System: “Respected Host, this System thinks you’re overthinking things. Never mind whether I can teach you the secret manual; with your foundation, it would probably take until you’re in your seventies or eighties to learn it. By then, what’s the point of showing off?”
“Damn it, putting me down again! If you don’t help me, how am I supposed to get stronger? And you talk about making me the ultimate tall, rich, and handsome guy—if you’re so stingy, how the hell am I supposed to become that?” Tang Chen expressed his true dissatisfaction with the System’s criticism. This damn System seemed born to oppose him; no matter what idea he came up with, it had to shoot him down. What a jerk.
The System was silent for a moment, then spoke again: “Respected Host, this System still advises you to complete missions step by step. When the time comes, this System can reward you with Enhancement Potion, and then you’ll be awesome too.”
Enhancement Potion—Tang Chen was quite tempted by that. It’s just that those damn High-level Missions held no interest for him at all.
“Forget it, I’m going to sleep.” Tang Chen lay down on the bed, not wanting to think about these things anymore. He turned off the light and soon fell asleep.
What Tang Chen didn’t know was that from the moment he obtained this System, everything had already begun to change quietly.
Detecting that Tang Chen had fallen asleep, the System muttered to itself in the mind: “Respected Host, don’t blame me. This System just doesn’t want you to step into that world too early. Good night.”
