Let Qin Ran test her boxing strength?

What did this mean?

Neither Lawrence nor the people on the stands understood Cheng Shui’s operation.

Some discussed in whispers and began guessing how much her boxing strength would be.

“I think it might be 890!”

“Isn’t that the same as Mr. Cheng Huo’s?” Someone narrowed his eyes and thought 890 seemed a little too high.

870 was a hurdle for the whole manor, and only a few leaders had the ability to exceed this score.

It was even harder to increase their boxing strength at that stage. 890 was already the highest score that these people could think of.

“Tang Qing scored 769 and was still so badly defeated. Miss Qin should score at least 870?” A short-haired man analyzed.

Any score above 800 was of a different world. Tang Qing had suffered such a crushing defeat despite a score of 769, so Qin Ran must have at least 100 points more than her.

Only a few masters of the law enforcement hall could manage to reach 870 points.

“But with the crack on the ring, could it be over 1000…” someone said weakly. “After all, Mr. Cheng Shui didn’t manage to do that to the ring…”

The others remained silent. It wasn’t impossible, but 1000 points were simply too terrifying…

“I think 900 sounds most likely.”

These people were basically divided into two groups. One believed Qin Ran would score 900, while the other 1000.

While talking, their attention was focused on Qin Ran.

In the grandstand, the leaders and Jiang Dongye were all speculating.

Leader Du glanced at Cheng Huo and whispered, “Mr. Cheng Huo, has Miss Qin tested her punching strength before? Has it reached 900?”

Cheng Shui had selected Leader Du to follow Qin Ran when she and Cheng Juan first came to Continent M.

However, Leader Du had directly refused it at that time on the grounds of training for the challenge.

After hearing that he would be playing with a little girl, he had refused to accept it.

But there had been too many rumors about her in the manor this month, and he had just verified her strength with his own eyes…

Cheng Huo grinned and chuckled at him. “You will see.”

**

Not much movement was required for the boxing test. Without taking off her down jacket, Qin Ran walked down directly and stopped at the boxing machine. She directly punched it.

Everyone there paid attention to the numbers on the big screen.

Within a few seconds, the 769 data left by Tang Qing fluctuated a little and was replaced by a new data—

1319.

1

The chatter at the stands about whether Qin Ran could reach 1000 or 900 suddenly disappeared without a trace.

At this time, there were 500 or 600 people in the large training ground, including the servants.

There was basically a slight noise every moment.

But at this moment, the crowd was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Onstage, only the whooshing sound of the wind could be heard.

Cheng Shui already knew that the record of 1321 was Qin Ran’s, but even so, it wasn’t the same as witnessing it firsthand. However, his acceptance level was definitely much stronger than others.

After a minute of shock, Cheng Shui glanced blankly at Lawrence. “New test student Lawrence, do you want to continue competing with number 421?”

Qin Ran also smiled and turned to beam at Lawrence with a pair of beautiful eyes.

Lawrence was speechless.

He quickly withdrew his gaze from Qin Ran and stuttered righteously, “Mr. Cheng Shui, I’ve decided. I want to challenge 39!”

He finally understood why Cheng Shui had made Qin Ran test her boxing strength.

In the beginning, Lawrence had chosen Qin Ran out of curiosity and ambition, as Cheng Shui had predicted.

But Qin Ran had scored a punching strength of 1319, which was 400 to 500 points more than his. Even ten Lawrences weren’t enough for her abuse.

Lawrence was very clear about where he stood. He had finally come to the actual combat assessment after several interviews. Entering the other side of the manor after so much difficulty, how could he possibly deny this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and court his own death?

Qin Ran was speechless.

Cheng Shui turned away and directly asked Lawrence to perform his boxing test and start the assessment.

If he let Qin Ran fight a few more people, he was afraid the entire ring couldn’t be used anymore.

Qin Ran nodded. “Fine.”

Nobody wanted to challenge her, so she simply returned to her seat. Jiang Dongye, Leader Du, and Leader Yuan all stared intently at her.

1319. Everyone remembered the highest record of the manor’s boxing test a month ago, 1321.

At that time, they had all thought it was Cheng Juan’s score.

It was a well-known fact that their boss was very strong.

Thus, it wouldn’t have been as surprising if the score of 1321 belonged to him.

But now, Qin Ran had just scored 1319, which was only two points away from 1321. She had made it seem so effortless and wasn’t even panting or flushing at the exertion. Nobody knew if that was her full strength…

But 1319…

This was God-level in their eyes.

An evildoer on the same level as Cheng Juan.

They might never be able to break through a score of 1000 in their lifetime. As for 1319, they could only look up hopefully.

When the leaders thought of this, they all turned to look at Leader Du. After all, he had personally rejected Cheng Shui last time. His chest was almost bursting with rage at being stared at. “What are you looking at? Other than Shi Liming, didn’t you all refuse it as well?”

He couldn’t take the fall alone. If necessary, they would all experience the heartache together!

The others were speechless.

**

There were four days of assessment.

Qin Ran gradually became interested and also set up a ring at the training ground alone to start a game.

Every time before the assessment, they would make bets on the winner.

Other than the main ring, this small ring was the most popular.

“I bet on the left!”

“I think the one on the right has a high punching score and will probably win!”

“…”

“I’ve won! I’ll get rich overnight! I’ll follow Miss Qin’s next bet!” A blond-haired young boy patted the table excitedly.

“Forget it, you still dare to follow Miss Qin? Have you forgotten how she let you down in the previous game?” A person three to four meters away from Qin Ran whispered. He really felt like Qin Ran could join the acting industry. She didn’t even blink when setting up traps. He had already lost all his money from his New Year’s red envelopes because of her traps!

He was obviously afraid of her traps.

The blond-haired boy was silent for a moment, then he turned to Qin Ran. “Miss Qin, can there be love between people? Do you think I have the potential to be the richest man in Continent M?”

“…”

With lanterns wobbling overhead, the New Year atmosphere in the entire manor was much stronger than in China.

The place was so noisy that even Cheng Shui couldn’t ignore it.

When did the manor start a gambling den?

Although quiet on the surface, he actually felt very emotional inside. This was his first time seeing the manor so full of life in so many years.

1

Although the past annual assessments had also been lively, it was simply because of the large crowds. Everyone was always busy thinking about the assessment, so how could there have been such a scene?

But now, Qin Ran was bringing joy to the people.

“Boss, the newcomer assessment has been completed.” Cheng Shui looked back, his face filled with rare joy. He handed a list to Cheng Juan. “Two have been disqualified. Their names are here. Next is the assessment of the old members.”

Cheng Juan continued staring at Qin Ran and the others and casually took the list from Cheng Shui.

“There’s a person here, Tang Qing, is she considered qualified?” Cheng Shui pointed to the information on the first page.

Tang Qing’s information was written in detail.

“I heard from Cheng Huo that she once tried to check our information?” Cheng Juan glanced at it and put it on the table casually, his voice indifferent.

Cheng Huo hadn’t hidden this matter from him.

Cheng Shui knew Cheng Juan’s intentions at the mention of this.

He nodded. “Yes, Cheng Huo found out that she was the one who tried to check your information and Miss Qin’s that night. In that case, I’ll directly inform Miss Tang that she has not passed the assessment.”

Cheng Shui paused a little.

Tang Qing’s hacking skills obviously paled in comparison to Qin Ran’s, so that night, the person who had blocked Tang Qing’s invasion of the manor system and exposed her misdeeds to Cheng Huo wasn’t Matthew, but Qin Ran?!

“What?” Reaching out to put the list aside, Cheng Juan looked up.

Cheng Shui reacted. “I just… thought of something.”

**

At the same time, outside the door of the manor on the other shore.

It was a big event in the manor, after all, so the gatekeepers had entered the training ground to watch the show as well.

Only the monitoring and manual systems were left outside the manor.

A sapphire blue car slowly drove by the gate.

A man got down from the driver’s seat. He was tall and wore very casual clothes.

Stopping by the gate, he took out his phone and glanced at the address. His fingers were like jade, clean and slender.

“I think it’s here?” he said softly.

Then, he took two steps forward.

The artificial intelligence mechanical sound of the big iron gates sounded: “The manor is not accepting guests for the time being.”

The man chuckled. “Xiao Hei, I’m here to find your Dad.”
