Chapter 51: Weiniya! Pack up! Let's run!

The matter of the Golden Fist Competition has finally come to an end, while online discussion of the two words 'martial way' is extremely heated.

Someone analyzed Weiniya's combat video from all angles, making various analysis videos.

For example, something like: Shocking! How the dark horse girl defeated the five-time champion without relying on Stanweistin.

People who call themselves boxing bloggers posted such videos, pushing the topic of martial way to a climax once again.

Tonight will be a sleepless night...

On the prosthetic operation table, Weiniya lay there, receiving Zhang Jie's meticulous maintenance.

Looking at the mature young man's meticulous demeanor before her, Weiniya felt a bit uneasy; after defeating Weir substituting for teacher to fulfill the wish, that feeling of excitement lasted only a short while.

Afterwards, emotions such as worry and melancholy gradually crept up, and all kinds of random thoughts began to run wild in her mind.

"After I avenge the teacher, will she not want me anymore?"

"Where will the teacher go afterward? Will she take me with her?"

"What should I do if the teacher doesn't want me anymore?"

Weiniya's mind already began staging a melodramatic drama: I chase, you flee, the teacher can't escape even with wings.

Zhang Jie, beside her, caught sight of her furtively glancing at him from time to time in his peripheral vision, then looking as if she wanted to speak but held back; helplessly, he lifted his head to look at her.

When Weiniya saw the teacher looking at her, her gaze darted away, and she instinctively cosplayed as Xiaoanchun.

"What do you want? Don't beat around the bush; speak up if you have something to say."

"Hmm...."

Weiniya pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and finally decided to restrain herself.

"Um... teacher, you won't be staying here, will you?"

Zhang Jie raised his eyebrows, looked at Weiniya, thought for a moment, and spoke.

"You mean the underground arena? Of course not."

Upon hearing the answer, Weiniya's eyes dimmed for a moment; she wished her current life could just continue like this, ordinary and simple.

After those days of picking trash and fighting in underground bouts, Weiniya yearned all the more for the ordinary people's mundane life.

So she hurriedly asked.

"Then what do you plan to do next?"

"If you're asking what I'll do..."

Zhang Jie thought for a moment; this person of his has no real direction in life, aside from pursuing the martial way, nothing else is sufficient to be considered his life goal.

"I might first go to reclaim my father's gym."

"Then I might travel outside the walls, to see the world, visit a few other walled districts, and see what the giant beasts look like."

"No matter what, my future path will be to pursue martial divine abilities."

Zhang Jie looked at Weiniya, seeing her stare blankly at him, and chuckled.

"And what about you, Weiniya?"

"The prize money from the Golden Fist Competition is enough for you to pay off your debts; you're thinking of opening a small shop, waiting for your sister to wake up, and living out the rest of your life in peace."

"Or do you want to go out traveling with me? Continue being my student?"

Facing this little guy, Zhang Jie also felt a bit reluctant, but everyone has their own aspirations; he has no right to decide Weiniya's latter half of life.

"Can I continue following you?"

"Please don't abandon me..."

"How could I? If you want to follow me, I can't stop you."

Weiniya hesitated not, spoke her choice, and the unease in her heart dissipated, turning into excitement.

"What about your sister? Have you decided?"

Zhang Jie smiled while lowering his head, continuing to debug Weiniya's prosthetic.

"Mm-hmm, I bought insurance; although the fee is a bit high, they guarantee my sister's medical care, and even if she wakes up, they will cover the subsequent expenses."

Zhang Jie nodded; most of the insurance in C Zone is still quite useful, and since we're in a relatively peaceful era now, insurance companies also earn a lot.

"You're insured with a legitimate company, right?"

"Mm-hmm, I've already paid a large portion; the remaining balance I'll pay after it's over."

The two chatted on and off like that, and before they knew it, night fell silently.

After confirming Zhang Jie wouldn't abandon her, Weiniya seemed to return to her usual self, her repaired left hand holding her phone as she foolishly amused herself.

Meanwhile, Zhang Jie was helping Weiniya with a full-body final scan.

After confirming everything was correct, Zhang Jie patted Weiniya's head.

"Don't look anymore; get up and try the new prosthetic."

Earlier, for the Golden Fist Arena, most of the prosthetics on Weiniya's body had to comply with competition rules.

There were no blade-type prosthetics, no firearm-like weapons, and certainly no prosthetic hacker system capable of long-range destruction.

Now that the match is over, all kinds of high-performance prosthetics naturally need to be installed.

Such as combat optical prosthetic eyes, side-mounted mechanical swords on the hands, subdermal armor that can generate energy shields, and biomimetic giant beast leg prosthetics.

In short, Weiniya's combat power now is far greater than it was in the competition by an unknown amount, and moreover, those prosthetics on her body still have an overload mode; this overload mode would greatly increase neural strain, but for Weiniya, a Cyber Golden Immortal with extremely high prosthetic compatibility, it's negligible.

Zhang Jie had no doubt that, with sufficient internal energy, she could fight continuously in overload mode.

Only saw Weiniya, full of enthusiasm, move down, hop twice on the spot, then with a 'swish!' her right hand shot out a mechanical sword, her left forearm revealed a micro electromagnetic cannon, and the world before her eyes was completely different from what she had seen before.

"Wow!"

"Wow!!!"

Weiniya shouted excitedly, running around wildly, waving her mechanical sword, striking various poses, utterly clumsy.

"Alright, alright, take a look at yourself."

When the time comes I'll teach you swordsmanship—don't be a blockhead, or that mechanical sword I give you will be wasted.

Teacher!!! I feel!!! My body is so light!!!!

Not paying attention, Weiniya had already bounced outside the house—her leap was incredibly high, and the sound carried far into Zhang Jie's ears.

Teacher! I'm terrifyingly strong now!

Just as Weiniya was excitedly testing her new prosthetic, the operating room door was flung open with a bang.

A flamboyantly styled little brother with yellow-and-blue hair rushed in panic, shouting loudly at Zhang Jie.

Brother Jie! Sister Weiniya! Come help quickly!

Outside suddenly rushed in an extraordinarily badass Cyber Madman! The boss is about to be killed by him!!!

Zhang Jie froze for a moment upon hearing it, then immediately realized something was off.

So he put on a calm, nonchalant expression and gave that little brother a nod.

Alright! We'll go right away!

Then hurry up!

After the little brother delivered the message, he slipped away in a puff of smoke, and the sound of helicopters came from the sky.

And Zhang Jie, dropping his calm demeanor, hastily began packing his things.

Weiniya! Pack up quickly! We're making a run for it now!

Huh?
