Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 664 - 496: Sour Cabbage Beef Noodle Soup_4

Both he and Heibo harbored dreams and were willing to give their all for them. The only difference was that Chen Gu was a bit more "successful."

Moreover, this match boasted many gimmicks, the most attractive of which was the ultimate showdown of the Energy Gathering Mechanical Species!

Xiaoga Yexiong sighed deeply. No wonder the hype is so intense. After researching it for a while, even I'm starting to feel eager and can't wait to watch this match.

Then he checked the ticket prices for attending the event live. Even he silently closed the purchasing page; the prices had been inflated too much. Buying even a regular ticket would be a painful expense he'd feel for half a year.

He felt his face burning with embarrassment again. This commercial match was no "small change" affair; Chen Gu's income was astonishingly high!

Even if Xiaoga Yexiong reached the heights he aspired to in the future, he might not earn as much money as this.

Xiaoga Yexiong calmed down after a while and resumed his analysis of the match. He then noticed a detail: almost all the sponsors were Chen Gu's, with very few on Heibo's side. This meant that after the match, the lion's share of the revenue would flow into Chen Gu's pockets, leaving only a tiny fraction for Heibo.

At this point, Xiaoga Yexiong still didn't know that Heibo was an arrangement by Beniers and his group. He could only sneer inwardly. That Chen Gu is truly insidious!

Then, he slowly closed all the browser tabs. A strong surge of envy for Chen Gu spontaneously arose within him...

The next day at work, Xiaoga Yexiong and Sanhime tacitly avoided mentioning that "commercial match."

...

Heibo lived on an ordinary colony star, but these past few days he had been taken to Capital Star by the Alliance to prepare for battle.

Alliance photographers followed and filmed his entire training process.

Footage that could be broadcast directly was immediately sent to platforms that had purchased the live broadcast rights. Confidential segments were preserved and would later be used as material for a documentary, which could then be sold again.

The training facilities and coaches provided by the Alliance for Heibo were top-notch. He felt as if he were in a dream—this was a level of treatment he had never dared to imagine before.

Moreover, these coaches quickly made him realize that many of his previous training methods were flawed. If he had access to such high-caliber coaches from the beginning, his achievements would undoubtedly be far greater.

After that day's training, the photographers uncharacteristically turned off all their cameras and stopped tracking his daily life.

An Alliance official approached him, trying to sound as affable as possible, "Someone wants to see you."

Heibo was no fool. In fact, thanks to his years spent navigating chaotic, low-tier leagues, his judgment and instincts were remarkably sharp. "Chen Gu?"

The official smiled. "Not just him. Come with me; you won't be disappointed."

"Heh," Heibo sneered. Not be disappointed? Is this implying Chen Gu will offer me a large sum of money to deliberately lose the match? It's always the same old routine. That's the habitual thinking of those wealthy people—believing money can buy anything they desire.

Heibo didn't object. He packed his things, took a shower, and went with the official.

While showering, he discreetly hung a miniature device on the inside of his clothes.

The people secretly backing him had given it to him beforehand, telling him it would inevitably prove useful at some point.

See? It's already proving useful.

As soon as Chen Gu proposes any dirty deal, this device will record the entire process. Then, at the opportune moment, I will expose this recording and utterly destroy Chen Gu's reputation!

The vehicle transported Heibo and the Alliance official to a restaurant secluded deep within a garden estate.

Chen Gu quite liked this place. He increasingly felt like a "great antagonist." In the movies and TV shows he had acted in or watched in his previous life, this was a common trope: the main villain would often entertain their rivals in such imposing, high-status locations.

Upon entering, Heibo merely shot Chen Gu an indifferent glance before casually plopping himself down, thoroughly displaying his contempt for the "authority" Chen Gu represented.

Chen Gu chuckled, tilted his head to look at him for a while, and then suddenly said, "You're so ugly; how could you possibly have such a beautiful and adorable daughter? She definitely takes after her mother..."

Heibo shot to his feet, his eyes blazing with fury as he roared, "If you dare use my daughter to threaten me, I'll fight you to the death!"

Chen Gu waved his hand dismissively. "Bullshit. I'm not that crass. Sit down."

He gestured, and an adjacent door opened. A girl with an expressionless face walked in. Chen Gu said, "Today, I've arranged this reunion for you and your daughter. I simply hope you can approach the upcoming match with an undistracted mind. We have many sponsors who have invested heavily, and they are anticipating a perfect performance."

When Heibo saw the girl, his eyes moistened. He wanted to step forward, but her cold, indifferent expression made him hesitate to approach.

Chen Gu sighed inwardly, got up, and walked out, leaving the private room to them.

He beckoned to a waiter. "Just get me a bowl of pickled greens beef noodles."
