"He is a quasi-guardian."
While Cassie diverted Angus's attention, Aqiaomu whispered beside Chen Xing. Angus's social credit is medium, but he doesn't have attribute shielding turned on, so Aqiaomu can detect his data.
The personal realms of elite and guardian levels have not yet materialized. They are in the spiritual realm stage and cannot use holy realm weapons. They mainly rely on their bodies, weapons, skills and spells to fight. The biggest difference between the two is the difference in physical strength and spiritual power development.
However, the strength of any body that constitutes life is limited. Depending on each person's talent, they will stagnate after reaching a certain level.
If the elite level represents the standard of human physical evolution, then the guardian level represents the limit of human physical strength. Theoretically, the physical strength of carbon-based lifeforms can reach a level close to that of steel, but in fact, only a very small number of people can achieve that, and most people's physical strength will not exceed that of tempered rubber.
Although there is only one level difference between Angus's quasi-guardian level and Chen Xing's elite level, their strength is very different, and their attributes are completely overmatched. However, Chen Xing has a trio and a sense of danger. If there is a fight, it's hard to say who will win, so he doesn't have stage fright.
"Friends, we are all dawdling on a knife's edge. I think we should keep it simple..." Chen Xing spread his hands and said, "What conditions do you need before you are willing to give up the commission?"
"Refreshing!" Angus said with a thumbs up, and then clapped his hands. Behind him, a young man wearing a peaked cap and a yellow waistcoat came out. He controlled a basketball with a reflective metallic luster in his hand and beat it on the ground. , making a dull sound.
"According to the rules of our red light street, let's play street basketball and wipe out all the grudges." Angus said.
Chen Xing frowned, and the other three also showed solemn expressions. This is not an ordinary game, it is a game created by the city's lower class to resolve conflicts privately without violating the rules of the system. The basketball is wrapped in high-density alloy and weighs 2,500g, which is more than four times heavier than the 650g of an ordinary basketball. It is a veritable "iron ball". Once hit, the consequences would be disastrous.
The opponent's purpose is to legally retaliate against them through the ball game.
"It's not fair..." Chen Xing said pointedly, "Your level is higher than ours."
"Hahaha!" Angus laughed, then his face turned cold and he said in a deep voice, "Brother, how can there be any fairness in this world?"
"But I don't have to accept it." Chen Xing shrugged and said helplessly.
"Then we will continue what we did this morning until Azhu and her daughter move out of the red light street." Angus spread his hands and said.
"Then we will stay here and have a good chat with you until the problem is solved." Chen Xing casually pulled up a chair and sat down. His meaning was very clear. Since they could harass Su Muchu and her daughter, he could also use the same method and sit here to hinder them. Anyway, under the supervision of the system, no one could do anything.
"How dare you!" Angus stood up suddenly and glared at him.
"I've already sat down." Chen Xing spread his hands and said with a smile.
"When you leave the city..." Angus glanced at him and threatened, "You'd better be careful."
"Thank you for the reminder. Before leaving the city, we will find a mercenary group to join us." Chen Xing said, the smile on his face not diminishing at all.
Angus' face hardened, he glanced at Chen Xing a few times, and sat down slowly, "Young man, don't break the rules..." His voice became serious, "This is not decided by me alone, the entire Crow City All the gangs..."
Chen Xing ignored him, turned to Cassie and said, "Go and buy some canned coffee and potato chips."
"Okay." Cassie turned around and went out, but Chen Xing stopped him again, "Buy another pair of cards and let's fight the landlord."
"I won't quit." Angus patted the armrest of the sofa and said.
"Then what?" Chen Xing asked, holding hands with each other.
"Bang!" Angus snapped his fingers, and two young men came over and stood with the yellow vest.
The court for street basketball is very casual, usually with a wall on one side and a barbed wire fence on the other. It is much smaller than a standard basketball court. The number of people playing depends on the venue, usually between four and six.
A Qiaomu scanned it and found that only the yellow vest was elite, and the other two were quasi-elite.
"Is this okay?" Angus asked.
Chen Xing glanced at Cassie and Jordan, and the two leaned over knowingly. Chen Xing whispered, "Fifty gold per person." It is dangerous to play this kind of game. They are all mercenaries who work hard for money. Naturally Need to be paid.
"Boss, you're so polite." "Boss, these are all trivial matters." Cassie and Jordan were very polite, but neither mentioned the need for money.
After getting the consent of the two, Chen Xing made an "agree" gesture.
"At three o'clock in the afternoon, on the court next to the tram hotel, the bet is two hundred gold coins..." Angus paused, raised his voice, and emphasized, "It's cash!"
Normally, street basketball requires a jackpot, and Chen Xing nodded in approval.
Back at Nuanxin Building, the harassing gangsters were gone. Chen Xing asked Su Muchu to borrow a basketball and went to the open space in the alley to practice at short notice. When he was in the Lightning Regiment in his previous life, he would occasionally fight with other mercenaries. He couldn't be said to be very powerful, but he could still play for fun.
Cassie is a mid-range player, he dribbles the ball very beautifully and throws the ball very accurately. Danny plays less, but is larger and can rebound as a center.
"Basketball is a black boy's best friend." Cassie said as she rushed to the basket with the ball. He lowered his body, rushed over with a lunge, then kicked off the ground and sent the basketball into the basket.
"Give it to me when you grab the ball, and I promise to win." Cassie showed his white teeth and said confidently.
Chen Xing grabbed the flying basketball, jumped on the spot, pushed forward, and the basketball arced and accurately fell into the basket.
Hollow goal!
Cassie stayed for a moment and gave Chen Xing a thumbs up. Chen Xing is not good at anything else, but he can still pitch.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xing and the others arrived at the agreed place, accompanied by mother and daughter A Qiaomu, Su Muchu, and three Liu Yings in the store.
This is a typical street court, completely closed, with the sides of two buildings forming an "L" shape, and the other two sides surrounded by barbed wire. The players go in, and the spectators stay outside the barbed wire to avoid being hit by flying balls.
Colorful graffiti is spray-painted on the wall, with a strange beauty. The three people in yellow vests were already waiting in the field. When they saw them, they gestured with their thumbs down. The basketball with a metal shell was spinning at high speed on his fingertips, and his skills seemed very sophisticated.
Cassie walked forward with a trembling body and pointed her thumbs downward, "You will soon be like a crying baby."
"Promise a match!" Angus chewed a big cigar and slapped the barbed wire with great force, making a loud noise.
Six people reached out at the same time and entered instructions on their watches to agree on the content of the competition.
"Didi..."

As the last number flashed by, the yellow vest circled its arms and hit a ball.
The iron ball was filled with strong wind and was coming fiercely. Chen Xing crossed his hands to protect his face. There was only a "bang" sound, Chen Xing took a step back, and the iron ball was bounced out. Cassie and Danny took action at the same time, strode forward, hugged their shoulders, and bumped into the two people beside the yellow vest.
Under the rules, all collisions based on basketball games are reasonable.
