Chapter 65: Wild|War, no problem.

After a day's rest, Tang Mo's back and body wounds were almost healed, except for a few deep cuts that had not yet healed, and some other minor scrapes had disappeared. In the afternoon, Tang Mo went to the clothing store and waited for a while for Fu Wenduo.

Fu Wenduo scanned Tang Mo up and down, his eyes lingering slightly on his shoes for a moment. He raised his head and said, "Changed into lighter clothes on purpose?"

"Yes."

Tang Mo woke up early in the morning and went to the sports brand store in the mall to find a set of close-fitting sportswear and changed into the sneakers in the store. He really wanted to learn stronger fighting skills and improve his strength. Otherwise, the next time he meets a player like Bai Ruoyao, if he doesn't have an organizer, he might really be attacked by the other player (in fact, Bai Ruoyao also succeeded in his sneak attack).

Tang Mo asked, "Where are we going? There's an elementary school two kilometers away that has a standard athletic field."

Fu Wenduo : "I used to pass by there when I came to this mall, it's OK."

Without further ado, they left the mall together and headed for the elementary school.

Elementary schools don't have as many resources as malls, and not many players would choose to stay in one. Even so, upon entering the school, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo carefully checked each building to make sure no one was hiding before entering the athletic field.

With no one to clean it up, the ground in the center of the track and field was covered with weeds. Fu Wenduo walked to the center of the grass pile, and the ferociously growing weeds were almost up to his knees. Tang Mo calmly followed him into the weeds, and suddenly Fu Wenduo said, "When I was in the army, new recruits were recruited from all over the country every six months for training."

Tang Mo thought, "You'll be in charge of the training?" He remembered Luo Fengcheng saying that Fu Wenduo was the youngest Major in China, and the captain of a certain ace special forces unit.

"I'm not responsible for training new people." Fu Wenduo stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at Tang Mo, who smiled a little and quickly continued on his way. But there was something strange in his eyes just now, his gaze was dark, with an air of scrutiny, as if he had remembered something interesting.

Tang Mo faded, "Why?"

"Because I'll train and they'll get played by me."

Tang Mo's footsteps lurched as he didn't reply to the comment and continued to follow the other forward.

...... This guy is kinda funny.

After walking to the center of the grass, Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo stopped together. Tang Mo waited for the other party's next move, and Fu Wenduo whispered, "Without using your powers or weapons, try to attack me."

Tang Mo realized, "Try me first?"

Fu Wenduo : "Think of it as a Black Tower game in progress, and now I'm your enemy, and you need to kill me immediately ......".

Before he could say the latter words, Tang Mo's feet glared, his body was like lightning, and with a whoosh, he leapt in front of Fu Wenduo. He clenched his right hand into a fist, and his ferocious fist broke through the wind and smashed into Fu Wenduo's face. Fu Wenduo side-stepped his head to the side, but Tang Mo kicked his right knee again.

The weeds were bent downward by the wind of his powerful leg, and Fu Wenduo pressed down with his right hand, knocking Tang Mo's leg away. Soon the two of them were entangled in a fight.

Almost always Tang Mo attacks, Fu Wenduo dodges.

Fu Wenduo said earlier that Tang Mo should fight him without using his powers. In fact, Tang Mo's powers are not considered offensive, except for his "A Very Fast Man" power, which allows him to increase his chances of winning in close combat, but neither his fire-breathing power nor his wind power are considered combat powers. What he really relies on is his strong physical strength.

Terrifying reflexes, extreme dynamic vision, plus unbelievable speed and strength. Even if Tang Mo encountered a former world boxing champion on Earth Online, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage. Because any of his opponent's punches would not hurt him, and if he touched his opponent once, he would lose.

The only martial art in the world was fast, but he also had the power to do it in one go.

Each of Tang Mo's strikes is vicious and determined, and it is completely to the point of death, constantly attacking Fu Wenduo's vital points, such as the eyes and temples. But Fu Wenduo was able to dodge each time and at the same time block Tang Mo's next strike. The two of them fought dozens of times in the center of the track and field, the weeds were cut and yellow dust covered the sky. Tang Mo's eyes flashed, and instead of attacking Fu Wenduo again, he swept his foot to the ground, shaking the dust on the ground and sending it flying.

Fu Wenduo's eyes showed surprise for the first time, and the sudden yellow sand caused him to close his eyes for a second to avoid it. It was during this second that Tang Mo clenched his right hand into a fist, his middle finger bulging, and slammed his fist into Fu Wenduo's temple next to his left eye. However, just at the moment he was about to touch it, a palm blocked his attack and held his hand.

Tang Mo tries to withdraw his hand in dismay, but Fu Wenduo follows his right hand and climbs forward, locking his pulse. At the same time, with a swift horizontal kick, Tang Mo was pressed to the ground. Fu Wenduo's left hand clasps his wrist, and his right hand grabs Tang Mo's neck, pinning him to the ground.

Fu Wenduo opens his eyes, "Just now when I closed my eyes, the biggest break I revealed was my left temple. You shouldn't have hit there because you knew that was my biggest break and I knew that and would have gone on defense."

Tang Mo fought hard for ten minutes, but did not get any favor. Fu Wenduo was in a state of relief, but he himself was gasping for breath, and was now being held by his opponent's throat.

Fu Wenduo let go of him.

The two rested for a while, and Fu Wenduo said, "Again."

Tang Mo attacked again without saying a word.

Fighting from the afternoon until the evening, Tang Mo felt for the first time the meaning of despair.

Fu Wenduo really didn't lie, there was a reason why he didn't train the new recruits. The current Tang Mo had been beaten half to death by him, and if he hadn't stayed his hand, Tang Mo felt like he could really be played to death by this man. Strong physical strength, terrible skill and awareness, this man is simply flawless. Unless one's hard power was higher than his, it would be difficult to kill Fu Wenduo.

After all, it was a real close combat, Fu Wenduo had left many bruises on Tang Mo's body even though he did not spare his hands. Tang Mo wiped the blood seeping out from the corner of his mouth and climbed up again. The two of them looked at each other, and in the next moment, they attacked in unison.

Fighting is the best learning.

After an afternoon of fighting, Tang Mo continued to learn from his failures, and his muscles also developed a certain conditioned reflex, his body memorizing many moves before his mind. Fu Wenduo reveals a flaw and Tang Mo takes advantage of it. Fu Wenduo easily blocks the blow, but Tang Mo is just faking, and he throws a kick to the side of Fu Wenduo's body.

Fu Wenduo's eyes were stunned, and soon he used both palms to separate the leg. At this point he had fallen into the rhythm of Tang Mo, who was following the same pattern he had just used against himself, punching first, then kicking, and then a whole series of moves. Fu Wenduo stumbled backwards and backwards, and Tang Mo threw another punch, which Fu Wenduo was forced to bend down to avoid.

Tang Mo was prepared, he raised his right foot and kicked again. But at this very moment, he felt something cold suddenly clasp his ankle, pulling his foot and pulling it forward. Tang Mo was pulled to the ground unexpectedly, before he could react, Fu Wenduo's other hand was compared to a knife, choking his neck, the other hand held his ankle, folded his right leg and pressed it to his chest, the whole person sat up, suppressing Tang Mo's movements.

Again, his opponent is striking from his bottom.

Tang Mo tightened his brows. Fu Wenduo said, "Purposefully wearing sneakers to move a little easier?"

Tang Mo didn't understand why he suddenly asked this as he nodded, "Hmm. More suitable for sports. Isn't that right?"

"Sneakers are indeed more suitable for sports, it's called that itself." Fu Wenduo said, "But when fighting someone, wearing this is already half dead." Fu Wenduo's left hand pressed Tang Mo's ankle, and the cold temperature made Tang Mo frown. Fu Wenduo said, "The ankle is one of the more fragile parts of the human body, if I had cut it with a knife just now, would you still be able to stand up now?"

Tang Mo looked at him in consternation.

Fu Wenduo let go of his hands and stood up from Tang Mo's body. "Normally we wear combat boots to protect our ankles while keeping other things out of our shoes. In any case, it's impossible to wear sneakers." After a pause, he turns his head to look at Tang Mo : "It's getting dark, will you come back tomorrow?"

Tang Mo was silent for a moment as he rose from the ground and patted himself on the shredded grass and dirt, "Come."

"Okay, still this afternoon, I'll see you at that clothing store."

With the darkness of the night, the two returned to the mall and parted at the entrance.

Tang Mo watched Fu Wenduo's back as he disappeared into the darkness of the night and slowly narrowed his eyes. He waited until he was sure the man was far away before twisting his sore wrist.

...... Damn, the fist hit this person, this person does not hurt, his own hand in turn was shocked numb.

Tang Mo said that he was teaching Tang Mo fighting skills, but Tang Mo thought that he was just sent there to be beaten up by Fu Wenduo this afternoon. If the two of them use their powers and props, they may not be able to win or lose (Tang Mo is very confident in his "A Very Fast Man" power). But if they can't use their powers, the difference between them is too great.

Tang Mo can't beat Bai Ruoyao, and Bai Ruoyao can't beat Fu Wenduo based on fighting skills alone.

In this way, Tang Mo was simply being rubbed on the ground by Fu Wenduo. However, this did not discourage him. After returning to his car, he pondered for a long time, recalling some of the techniques he had learned from Fu Wenduo today, and some of the moves that he had been defeated by Fu Wenduo, and stayed up all night. The next afternoon, he walked into the clothing store.

Fu Wenduo has been waiting in the store for a while. He looked down and realized that Tang Mo had changed into a pair of very thick boots. Fu Wenduo hooked up the corner of his lips and said, "Or the athletic field?"

Tang Mo: "Uh-huh."

"Go."

For half a month, Tang Mo felt the gap between professionals and amateurs. The worst part is that he's not even an amateur, he hasn't been in many fights since he was a kid. Fu Wenduo, however, is a professional among professionals, and in terms of fighting, Tang Mo has been beaten up by him so much that he doesn't recognize his own mother. Although the two of them didn't really fight, Tang Mo gradually began to doubt whether his physical fitness had been improved or not.

But come to think of it, his physical strength was boosted, and Fu Wenduo did the same. In other words, neither of them gained from fighting, which was the same as an ordinary librarian who neglected to exercise before the Earth came online suddenly having to fight the captain of an ace special forces unit. To be able to get through a move or two with Fu Wenduo was already a sign that Tang Mo's strength and speed were too strong and exceeded the limitations of his skill.

On the afternoon of the fifteenth day, the two had fought dozens of times. Tang Mo once again kicked the dust off the ground, Fu Wenduo closed his eyes, and Tang Mo slammed his fist into his temple. Fu Wenduo hooked his lips and calmly blocked the blow. His hand had just touched Tang Mo's fist when the smile on his lips gave way. Fu Wenduo reached out again, blocking Tang Mo's leg from the other side.

At the same time, Tang Mo bends down, propping one hand on the ground, and with the other hand cuts at Fu Wenduo's hamstring.

Fu Wenduo was wearing a pair of black combat boots, so instead of paddling his ankle, Tang Mo rolled his hand behind his knee, pressed down on his hamstring, and lifted his leg.

Both men fall to the ground together, and because of their position, Tang Mo's knee hits Fu Wenduo's arm, and Fu Wenduo grunts.

Tang Mo took the opportunity to press down on Fu Wenduo's chest, preventing him from standing up, and choking him with his other hand.

No luck, Fu Wenduo reaches out and stops it.

The two men looked at each other.

Under the dusky sunset, Fu Wenduo collapsed in a heap of grass, Tang Mo took him by the knee with one hand and held him with the other.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Tang Mo rarely laughed, "Major Fu, according to you, your hamstring ...... was just picked off by me?"

Fu Wenduo looked at Tang Mo steadily, and after a long time, he loosened his grip on Tang Mo's fist and resigned himself to his fate, "Well, it's broken, and I've only got one foot left, so I can't stand up."

Tang Mo lets go of his hands and lies back to rest.

This time, Tang Mo seemed to have won, but Tang Mo knew that if Fu Wenduo really wanted to win, he could have won a long time ago.

Every fight between them is never about who wins or loses, but about Tang Mo learning some real fighting skills. After half a month of training, Tang Mo no longer knows nothing about fighting. Now, he might not be able to beat Bai Ruoyao, and would be attacked by him, but Bai Ruoyao would not be able to win so easily, and Tang Mo would be able to at least make him lose a layer of skin.

Although he knew that this win over Fu Wenduo was not a win at all, Tang Mo was still in a good mood. Anyone who had been beaten up for half a month and now managed to fight back once would be in a good mood. Tang Mo was no exception.

It was dark, and as a matter of common sense, the two should now head back and finish their training for the day.

Tang Mo was resting on the ground, calming his breathing and then preparing to leave. At that moment, a low voice rang in his ears, "One more time?"

"......" Tang Mo said quickly, "Tomorrow."

Fu Wenduo: "......"

It's not easy to win a fight, and you want to fight back again? No such thing. We'll talk about it tomorrow.

After patting the weeds and dust off their clothes, the two of them returned to the mall together. Tang Mo walks into the underground parking lot, and before he can find the car he's perched on, he sees Tang Qiao standing at the corner of the stairwell, seemingly waiting for him.

Tang Qiao : "Dr. Luo wants to see you for something." After a pause, she looked behind Tang Mo, "Is that Mr. Fu not with you?"

Tang Mo asked, "Does Luo Fengcheng want something from him too?"

Tang Qiao nodded, "Dr. Luo asked me to try to inform you both. He's not here, so I'll have to forget about it."

"I'll meet with him tomorrow."

Tang Qiao : "Okay, then go ahead and find Dr. Luo." She turned to leave.

Since the death of Nie Feng and Ye Yuanze, Tang Qiao has become more and more silent. Tang Mo knew her quite well, but she left after she finished talking to Luo Feng Cheng, without saying a word to Tang Mo.

Tang Mo gave her a look and walked into the third floor of the underground parking garage.

Luo Fengcheng had been waiting in the office for quite some time. When he saw Tang Mo, he asked, "Major Fu isn't with you? I thought you guys were together for the past few days."

Tang Mo was wary, "How did you know?" They purposely found an unoccupied athletic field.

Luo Fengcheng laughed, ''I don't know about what happened after you guys left the mall, but you guys meet at the mall every day. It's easy to figure this out. Did you go to raid copies together? This is not very likely. If the two of you raid the same copy together, the difficulty of the game will soar, and the loss will not be worth it."

This time Luo Feng Cheng had guessed wrong. Tang Mo was more confident that his team's strength would increase even more after working with Fu Wenduo than the increased difficulty of the game. But there was no need to say this to Luo Feng Cheng.

Tang Mo faintly said, "You're thinking too much, just asking Major Fu to teach me some fighting techniques for a little while."

Luo Feng Cheng froze, and soon he said, "It's me who overthought it." Brushing aside this topic, Luo Feng Cheng spoke of business, "Actually, this time the matter is related to Major Fu. Although he is not here, you can also inform him."

Tang Mo: "What is it?"

"Yesterday Jacks met a player from Nanking, which was confirmed to be China 6."

Tang Mo never thought this would be the case. In this half month, apart from his combat training with Fu Wenduo, he had spent the rest of the time raiding some simple S-rank copies on his own. He pondered for a long time, "Alright, I'll tell Fu Wenduo tomorrow."

Luo Feng Cheng: "After all, he is the brother who survived, Major Fu will go to Nanking to look for him, I'm afraid. However, Tang Mo, you can stop by and tell Major Fu again that before going to Nanking, you can consider a rally copy that will be coming out of the Black Tower. That's a very interesting copy, perhaps Major Fu would be interested."

Tang Mo said strangely, "What copy?" What copy, could make Luo Fengcheng think with certainty that Fu Wenduo would be interested?

Luo Fengcheng laughed, "Looks like you didn't hear the announcement from the Black Tower this morning? It's a very interesting copy."

The next afternoon, when Fu Wenduo arrived at the store, he saw Tang Mo, who had been waiting for him for a long time.

Acutely sensing a hint of something wrong, Fu Wenduo said, "Something wrong?"

Tang Mo opened the door, "Luo Fengcheng found me yesterday and told me that Huaxia 6 has been confirmed to be Nanjing. Your cousin should be in Nanjing."

Fu Wenduo did not change his color: "Good."

Tang Mo: "Are you planning to leave Shanghai and go to Nanjing?"

Fu Wenduo looked at Tang Mo : "Originally, I had planned to leave Shanghai after attacking the third level of the Black Tower in a month. Now it seems that we may have to leave earlier." Fu Wen Sheng was probably Fu Wenduo's only family member in the world, even if he was not familiar with his cousin and had not seen him for a long time, he was his younger brother. In Tang Mo's place, there was no way he would leave his eleven year old cousin to survive alone in the dangerous world of gaming.

But Fu Wenduo's point was another: he's leaving Shanghai, so I'm afraid he won't be able to team up with Tang Mo to attack the tower.

Tang Mo laughs, "Are you planning to go back to Beijing?"

Suddenly asked about this, Fu Wenduo pondered for a long time and nodded, "Go to Nanjing first. If we can't find him, then we'll divert back to Beijing." He prefers to stay in Beijing than the unfamiliar Shanghai. Just like Tang Mo, he would have returned to Suzhou, his hometown, if not for the repeated accidents.

Tang Mo: "I'm going to Beijing too."

Fu Wenduo froze.

The timing of Tang Mo's comment was quite coincidental, as Fu Wenduo had just said he was going back to Beijing, and then he said he was also going. A normal person would think that Tang Mo was going to follow Fu Wenduo and go wherever Fu Wenduo went. But Fu Wenduo knew that a person like Tang Mo wouldn't be able to follow him to the faraway Beijing just because of a verbal agreement to form a team.

They're not that close. If Tang Mo really went to Beijing for him, then there must be something bigger going on.

Fu Wenduo narrowed his eyes, his tone calm, "Why?"

Tang Mo said, "I have a college friend who plays very well, he is in Beijing. This one I told you about."

Tang Mo told Fu Wenduo about this during their first real-life meeting. But Fu Wenduo said, "Just for this?" To go to another strange city thousands of miles away for a friend?

Tang Mo : "Major Fu, you went to see your cousin, what for? You haven't seen him for over a year."

Fu Wenduo: "He's my brother."

Tang Mo laughed, "He may be the last family member you'll ever have living on this earth. Likewise, my college friend is likely to be my last good friend in this world." Not a friend, a good friend. In Tang Mo's mind, his relationship with Hao Zi and Lao Wang is no worse than that of his relatives. His parents died early, and it was his two best friends who accompanied him through that time.

Before it was because he didn't think he was strong enough and was worried that he wouldn't be able to cope with any dangers along the way. Now that he could have the strength to go to Beijing, why not go?

Fu Wenduo looked deeply at Tang Mo and said, "Going together?"

"Together."

"Good."

Being on the road together is not joining a game together, it doesn't increase the danger, it just makes it safer for both people.

But before leaving for Beijing, Tang Mo remembered something else: "By the way, Fu Wenduo, there's a rally copy tomorrow morning, do you want to join?"

Fu Wenduo raises an eyebrow, "A new copy of the set?"

Sure enough, the reason why this person didn't start his fighting training until the afternoon every day was because he would also be raiding the game on his own every morning, and hadn't heard the Black Tower notification.

Tang Mo said, "Luo Feng Cheng and I were talking about the new copy of Black Tower that was just released yesterday morning, it's very interesting. The time is 8:31am on February 1st, the location is Nanpu Bridge, Huangpu District, Shanghai, the game rewards are unknown, and the game BOSS, 'Circus Leader of Oddities'."

Fu Wenduo seized on the key word: "Cirque du Freak?" He assumed that by funny, Tang Mo meant that this circus was one that both of them had come into contact with, or at least had an impression of.

Tang Mo, however, saw his suspicion and denied it, "It's not just because of the Circus of Oddities, it's because there's a prerequisite for players who enter this rally copy."

Fu Wenduo realized that this condition was the real point: "What condition?"

One day ago.

A crisp child's voice rang throughout Shanghai, releasing the second set of copies after the new version to all Shanghai players.

"Dingdong! The assembly copy is open for a limited time. Game location: underground man Wang Guo's Strange Circus, game reward: unknown, game BOSS: the head of the Strange Circus. 8:31 a.m. on February 1, players are requested to go to the Nanpu Bridge in Huangpu District and participate in the game!"

"Attention! Only players who have successfully cleared the first floor of the Black Tower can enter the game."

"Caution! Only successfully clear the first floor of the Black Tower ......"

Feb. 1, 8:31 a.m. by the Nampo Bridge.

The two black shadows quickly moved through the buildings and hid behind an inconspicuous pier under the bridge. Tang Mo lifted his wrist and glanced at his watch, "One minute to go."

Fu Wenduo said, "Be careful, don't make a sound."

Tang Mo nods.

The two had their sights deadlocked on the majestic bridge, always on the lookout for new enemies. Yet when the Black Tower prompted the game to begin a second before, they didn't see any on the bridge either.

A dazzling white light flashed in front of his eyes, Tang Mo calmly pondered, could it be that there weren't many players who had cleared the first floor of the Black Tower in Shanghai, so those only few players hadn't chosen to come and raid this rally copy. But soon, a cheerful child's voice interrupted his speculations, in a pleasant tone with a hint of gloating.

"Dingdong! Players Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo have successfully entered the assembly copy 'Surprise Night of the Freak Circus'. As of 8:31pm on February 1st, a total of 23 players have successfully entered the replica, 21 players on the first floor of the Black Tower and 2 players on the second floor of the Black Tower, triggering the 'Public Enemy' effect. Players Fu Wenduo , Tang Mo codenamed Mr. A, Mr. B, open the public enemy mode for all."

Tang Mo's eyes widened, and before he could react, an even louder voice rang in the ears of the 23 players who had entered the game.

"Dingdong! Rallying copy of 'Surprise Night of the Freak Circus' Previously: Two months ago, the circus director captured three monsters and opened a magical monster exhibition for them. I don't know who actually let one of the monsters go, the monster exhibition was reviled by the audience, and the ringmaster almost lost his money and went bankrupt. The poor headmaster was so angry that he took it upon himself to capture the big monster that escaped, and he was going to dismantle the monster and break it into pieces in front of millions of viewers on that 'surprise night' seven days later. This time, the chief will be sure not to lose it again, for he has hired two of the finest detectives in all of Subterranean Man Wang Guo to escort it throughout its journey."

"Main quest issued: all players are invited to take the poor little monster away from Mr. A and Mr. B, the enablers of the evil. Extra Reward: one King's Gold Coin for killing either Mr. A or Mr. B, two Gold Coins for killing both. Friendly reminder: one King's Gold Coin forfeits any Black Tower game."

Tang Mo's scalp went numb.

Public Enemy for All effect.

21 players who have cleared the first floor of the Black Tower.

Kill them for a king's gold coin ......

Tang Mo slowly turned his head to look at Fu Wenduo beside himself. he could almost hear himself gritting his teeth, one word after another popping out of his teeth. He calmed down and stared at a single letter hovering above Fu Wenduo's head, "Mr. A?"

Fu Wenduo looked at the top of Tang Mo's head, "Mr. ......B."

A black tower beep sounded in both men's ears -

"Dingdong! Release the main quest: Mr. A, Mr. B, within seven days, protect the circus ringmaster's newly captured little monster from being stolen by the bad guys."
