Chapter 80: DISCOVERY OF SOMETHING WRONG! SONG MO

Song Mo strode out of the hotel.

His expression was now extremely grim.

His suspicions surged violently!

Since his rebirth, the women from his past life had gone mad, all veering off their original paths.

They had all once been his enemies, and at their first meeting, they still carried the same familiar flavor and demeanor—but for no apparent reason.

Without exception, they had all undergone drastic personality changes.

So far, the most dramatic changes were in Song Wanrou and An Yinuo.

If Song Wanrou's transformation could still be explained by her having developed an instant aversion to Chen Xi before meeting him,

then how could An Yinuo's enormous contrast be explained?

Song Mo did not believe it could all be caused by the flapping of his own tiny butterfly wings.

Somewhere beyond sight,

it felt as if a giant hand were manipulating everything—this filled Song Mo with deep revulsion and triggered profound contemplation within him.

Where exactly had things gone wrong?

Song Mo was certain inside.

This could not be controlled by human means; there must be a force beyond nature—was it the invisible law of cause and effect, forcing everything to unfold in the opposite direction?

Something just felt off.

Was it related to the system?

Was it related to his rebirth?

Song Mo did not know.

He keenly sensed the existence of a mystery—but had no idea how to solve it.

Song Mo suddenly felt that perhaps the solution to the mystery lay in An Yinuo, Leng Wanqiu, Song Wanrou… the women from his past life who had been intimately tied to him.

But to avoid alerting the enemy,

he should pretend he had noticed nothing.

…

After two days of brief fermentation,

a new internet celebrity had emerged on Kuaishou.

The Kuaishou account was named "Loong," and the Twitter account was named "Loong."

This blogger had risen to fame in a short time, and within those two days of fame, he had wildly harvested popularity and followers.

Not because of anything else.

Two words: "ability."

Three words: "real skill."

Ten punches per second—surpassing even the martial arts master Li Xiaolong.

Comments were filled with people frantically tagging their friends: Come see this!

Of course, there were also skeptical voices.

In response to the many skeptical comments, Song Mo did not reply—but many knowledgeable netizens began responding to the doubts.

From a professional standpoint, Song Mo's videos showed no signs of forgery or irregularity, proving he had achieved the seemingly impossible feats in the videos purely through his own ability.

Many rumors began circulating online.

Some claimed Song Mo was a true hidden master; the video of Bruce bowing to him was so solemn, he looked every bit the master's demeanor.

Rumors even spread that Song Mo was a descendant of ancient martial arts, only emerging when the time was ripe.

Nonsensical.

The richness of these rumors depended entirely on netizens' imaginations.

Song Mo paid no attention to the online chatter; instead, he posted a statement on his Kuaishou and Twitter accounts.

He would soon travel to the United States to hold the Martial Arts Tournament.

He extended a broad invitation to all martial artists: whoever could defeat him would win five million U. S. dollars.

If the match ended in a draw, it would count as Song Mo's loss—and the five million U. S. dollars would still be paid.

As soon as this news broke,

it stunned netizens' eyes.

On both Kuaishou and Twitter, it was like throwing a bomb into a pot of hot oil—instantly sparking a massive uproar.

"Five-Million-Dollar Challenge Prize" instantly became a trending topic.

But even more were skeptical voices.

They questioned whether Song Mo could actually produce five million U. S. dollars.

Was this all just a stunt, meant only to gain attention and attract eyeballs?

Song Mo had anticipated this.

So he quickly produced abundant evidence.

A nine-digit balance in his mobile banking account.

The key to a Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

Large-denomination U. S. checks.

…

Under the corroboration of these many "pieces of evidence,"

Song Mo's bold claim drew even greater attention, and everyone became intensely interested.

Or rather, he had developed an enormous interest in "money."

How much money is 500 US dollars worth?

Converted into RMB, it's roughly 35 million.

For the wealthy, this is nothing, but for ordinary people, it's a colossal fortune enough to live comfortably for a lifetime.

For those confident in their own Combat abilities, this is also a considerable windfall.

Win one fight, everyone who wins gets to take home 5 million US dollars.

In this world, is there any deal more cost-effective than this?

This is a no-cost business!

Netizens on Kuaishou even started cracking jokes.

"Brothers, who'll sponsor me a plane ticket to the United States? Once I get the prize money, I'll pay you back with ten tickets!"

"Fam, this is an investment! Today you invest one plane ticket in me, tomorrow I'll return you a fortune!"

"Win and eat well and drink well, lose and just get beaten up! Wait, with this much money, they won't actually make us sign a life-and-death waiver, right?!"

On Twitter, the crowd was also surging.

Quite a few people left comments under Song Mo's account.

"Yellow-skinned monkey, if you really dare to come, be prepared to lose both your money and your life!"

"Oh! Buddy! There are actually good people like you in this world? I guarantee I'll just gently tap you with my fist, I won't beat you to death!"

"Crazy enough! Too bad you're way too skinny. Your muscles might look nice, but they probably have zero practical use in a real fight—soft and squishy like a woman's!"

"Kid, your skin is so white. When I knock you down, can I lie on top of you?"

Many gang thugs, or idle hoodlums, after seeing this Twitter post, also started shooting their mouths off.

Many of them stereotypically believed yellow people were no good, thought Chinese kung fu was all a scam, while others felt Song Mo's video proved nothing and that a real fight would show whether he was any good or not.

Overall, it was still because foreigners were stubborn, and their stereotyped impressions ran too deep—lust for money had clouded their minds.

Even if Song Mo really had the strength, with that much prize money, who could resist not giving it a try?

Opportunities are seized!

……

Song Mo returned home.

Bai Jiaojiao came up and asked Song Mo.

"Back so soon? How did the blind date go?"

Song Mo gave a slight shake of his head.

Bai Jiaojiao's expression changed, and she snorted coldly:

"Hmph! Did you deliberately sabotage it?"

"That girl Yinuo chatted with me so nicely on WeChat, and she really likes you. If you hadn't sabotaged it on purpose, how could the blind date have failed?"

Song Mo said with a headache:

"Mom, I'm still young, why would I go on a blind date?"

Bai Jiaojiao said with earnest persuasion:

"You child, young and clueless!"

"An Yinuo's family assets alone would save you how many years of struggle?"

"Don't think our family is rich—compared to hers, we count for nothing!"

"And do you know how hard it is to find a girl who likes you?"

"The most important thing is, that girl is clean!"

"If you don't look for a clean one, are you going to look for one who messes around outside?"
