Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 756 - 520 Seven Days of Fierce Battle (Part 1) 4000 characters_mini-Chapter_2

"The match—begins!" The referee rolled his eyes at Chen Gu. You just wait, I'll definitely be biased in a bit!

BOOM!

The giant beast of [Reaper] Yan Baiwei had no time to react before the Combat Rooster firmly pinned it under its claw!

Then, like a whirlwind, the Combat Rooster flapped its wings and made a round of the field, leaving the remaining five giant beasts toppled and sprawling.

Chen Gu sat comfortably in the connector, not intervening at all; it was entirely the Combat Rooster's own doing.

However, he wasn't quite satisfied with this display of aggression. You're supposed to be descended from the Phoenix, so why are you acting more and more like an old mother hen?

Chen Gu still remembered from his past life, when visiting those countryside resorts, that this was exactly how old mother hens fought: spreading their wings and charging headlong...

At the start, the audience was shouting, "Go Chen Gu!" and "Rise up, Combat Rooster!" all in support and encouragement of the "underdog," since it was one against six.

But after the first exchange, the audience quietly shut their mouths. A few minutes later, as the Combat Rooster chased those giant beasts around the arena, pecking them into a headlong, screaming retreat, neighboring spectators exchanged looks and then, in tacit agreement, switched sides. "Come on, [Lone Wolf General], put in some effort!"

"[Grim Reaper Harvester], hang in there, wear it down!"

"[North Star Fist King], unleash your power! Where's your Bone-Crushing Divine Fist?"

Yes, we have to encourage the underdogs! Otherwise, they won't last, and this match will be over in minutes.

Gradually, more and more spectators defected, filling the air with cheers for Chen Gu's opponents! A young, naive fan asked the person beside him with a bewildered face, "But… didn't we buy tickets to support Chen Gu?"

The spectator next to him tapped his forehead. "You dunce! Does Chen Gu need our support? He's so strong, he can solve all his problems himself. Let's help those poor kids instead. Just look at how pitifully the Combat Rooster is chasing them. If we don't cheer them on, this match will be over in another ten-odd minutes."

The young man considered it. He'd spent half a year's salary on a scalped ticket for this match, meaning he'd be broke for the next six months. If he didn't cheer for the opponents, Chen Gu's total appearance time in two matches would be less than half an hour—even less than some fighters get in a single match! That was unacceptable; he'd be losing out big time!

He immediately jumped onto his seat, waving his fists and bellowing, "[Earth God Thunder], where's your air pressure blast? Hit its chicken butt!"

"[Number 9 Corpse Hook], sneak attack from the right flank! Hook its chicken wing and pull it off for a dish of braised chicken wings!"

Chen Gu, who had been relaxing in the connector without any pressure, started to feel that something was amiss. What's going on? Why are my fans cheering for my opponents?

The Combat Rooster was highly intelligent and understood that these spectators were rooting for its opponents. It immediately flew into a rage!

Traitors! The fighters supported by traitors deserve even harsher punishment!

In matches like this, the Combat Rooster had never used its special abilities. But now, its eyes suddenly glowed fiercely as it focused on [Number 9 Corpse Hook], which was planning a sneak attack. The deceitful giant beast inexplicably "froze" for a moment, and with a "hidden claw beneath the wing" maneuver, the Combat Rooster's huge foot slammed onto its neck with a THUD!

[Number 9 Corpse Hook]'s head tilted to the side, and it crashed onto the arena floor with a thunderous impact, never managing to rise again.

Inside the connector, the contestant Poluo screamed, then cursed furiously, "Why am I the first one to be so unlucky?"

But soon he no longer had to complain, because one giant beast after another tumbled down in quick succession.

And these beasts all lost in a somewhat baffling manner—only then did everyone truly understand the Combat Rooster's true power. It had been holding back and just toying with them.

The most pitiful was [Earth God Thunder]. This fellow, perhaps guided by some scoundrel's ill-advised idea, had sneakily circled around to the Combat Rooster's rear, intending to launch a surprise attack on its backside with its signature air pressure blast.

This, however, only enraged Lord Rooster, who crushed its reproductive organs with one claw. The two-hundred-meter behemoth fainted on the spot from the sheer pain.

Lord Rooster strutted around the arena with an air of total dominance, flapping its large wings and haughtily scanning the surroundings. Go on, cheer for Lord Rooster's opponents! Lord Rooster will personally dispatch every single one of them for you!

Chen Gu sighed. So boring. Six times the appearance fee, and still no challenge. Taking this money… I almost feel bad for the Alliance and the fans; it's not worth it for them.

The arena slowly descended. Chen Gu stepped out of the connector, straightened his suit—which wasn't even disheveled—and patted an Alliance official on the shoulder. "Remember to transfer my appearance fee to my account."

The fans watched as Chen Gu and the Combat Rooster gracefully departed. Then, they glanced at the time: six against one, fourteen minutes...

The fans began to question, "So, there's no one in the Alliance who can handle him, right?"

「 」

The next day, when Chen Gu woke up, he was the only one left in the dormitory; Qiao Shuangyi had gone to class.

Chen Gu opened the interstellar network, browsing while brushing his teeth, and suddenly felt that something was off. The entire net was discussing last night's match, but the tone of public opinion was strange!

The most frequent discussion Chen Gu saw was: Who in the Alliance can step up and vanquish this menace?

Or: Brave warriors, take up your swords, mount your giant beasts, and challenge that evil dragon!

And: A dark cloud now looms over the Alliance!

There were even calls: Gather signatures to take down the Great Demon King!

After a good ten minutes or so, Chen Gu finally had to accept this reality: "menace" referred to him, "evil dragon" referred to him, "dark cloud" referred to him, and "Great Demon King" also referred to him!

Look at that, I've driven everyone to use metaphors.

But! Where are the fans of my [Iron Fist of Justice]? That whole crowd of fans that was here, where did they go? What's that? They all switched sides?

Great Actor Chen felt exhausted. He finally understood: the fans were just messing with him, thinking he was too powerful, especially after the crushing defeat in last night's six-on-one fight. Everyone had developed a kind of "rebellious" mentality and actually wanted to see him lose for once... 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Seriously, what's wrong with fans these days? Isn't it good for your idol to be strong? Why do you all seem to enjoy my potential misfortune so much? Or is this just their peculiar way of bragging?

Chen Gu silently closed the Alliance forum. Regardless of what the fans were thinking, with various parties fueling the fire, a major sentiment had formed: Who can defeat Chen Gu?

He boiled water, brewed tea, and chuckled coldly.

So this is what it feels like to be the final boss? Chen Gu sipped his tea. Not a bad taste at all!

「 」

Today was the second match of the "Seven Days of Fierce Battle."

Chen Gu was still scheduled to appear last. The preceding contestants gave it their all, locked in an incredibly fierce and inseparable struggle.

Normally, such exciting matches would have electrified the venue, but today… the audience barely moved from their seats.

In one of the private boxes, a VIP had brought his pet dog, which was boredly scratching for fleas.

After one contestant battled hard for over half an hour to finally win, he exited with his beast, both covered in wounds. As he passed through the corridor, he heard the audience secretly conspiring.

"Remember to shout for a refund after the [Iron Fist of Justice] match is over."

"Make sure your voices are synchronized."

"Raise your right fist to the sky! We must show our absolute determination to cause a scene!"

"They're all saying it online: for any [Iron Fist of Justice] match, if you shout for a refund, he'll make an encore!"

The other contestants? Not important.

"Hey, did you hear that? Sounds like someone coughed up blood!"

Inside the corridor, medical staff came running, shouting, "Quick, quick! It might be a flare-up of internal injuries from the match! They've coughed up blood and fainted!"

「 」

Chen Gu's opponent today lasted for fifteen minutes.

Or rather, the Combat Rooster decided to go easy for a full fifteen minutes today!

Then, after Chen Gu left the stage, a vast conspiracy involving numerous people descended upon him!

"Refund!"

"Refund!"

"Refund!"

The Alliance official and Chen Gu exchanged a helpless glance. "We've been played," Chen Gu muttered with a sigh.

No small gifts, no coupons! Don't try to placate us with those little favors! No way!

An Alliance official hesitantly asked Chen Gu, "Would you mind... going through a bit more trouble?"

"It's not that I can't," Chen Gu said, "but my beast is still in its growth phase. These consecutive tough battles are a bit cruel to it..."

"Eight times the appearance fee," the official stated.

"Combat Rooster, up and at 'em!" Chen Gu called out.
