I Am A Prodigy Chapter 191

The next day…
Ye Lingchen finished up his morning exercises early, then took Little Green and Little Grey for a stroll in the residential area.
The environment within the residential area was excellent, merging with the park, beautiful and invigorating.
Zhang Yunxi similarly went out early in the morning after preparing breakfast for Ye Lingchen.
The renovation for Y Cosmetics was done and the store could begin operations. Zhang Yunxi had spent most of her time on that matter lately. For her, the rent for each day was a huge sum. Added to it the amount of money invested, she wanted to utilize every possible second to make a profit.
She was already smart to begin with. Couple with that her practice of makeup skills with Ye Lingchen during those times, her technique was already above average, Even if she could not compare with a professional makeup artist, she was not far off.
"Little Green, get that bird on the tree!" Ye Lingchen gestured.
Little Green immediately shot out like an arrow, leaving only afterimages as it shuffled up along the tree trunk, scaring a flock of birds, causing them to take flight.
By the time it reappeared, Little Green was carrying a sparrow in its jaws, placing it in front of Ye Lingchen's foot as though presenting a gift.
The sparrow's feathers were stiffened and flustered, chirping wildly as its eyes filled with terror, trembling all over.
"I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm really gonna die! The wolf pup is scary!"
"Not bad, you've improved a lot." Ye Lingchen smiled as he retrieved the sparrow from Little Green's jaws. As soon as he let go, the sparrow flew away with a whoosh, nowhere to be found. That incident would most likely develop into a traumatic experience that haunted it for life.
"Little Grey, catch a fish from the river!" Ye Lingchen pointed at the river by the side.
Little Grey was long ready for that moment, splashing straight into the water immediately. Its limbs flailing hard, enjoying the swim.

Three minutes later, it came back ashore excitedly with a carp in its mouth, then placed it by Ye Lingchen's foot.
"Haha, not bad!"
Ye Lingchen laughed, "With you two around, my meals in the future will be secured."
As time passed, the greatness of the Animal Taming skill was brought to light. In Ye Lingchen's opinion, this skill had the scariest potential for growth.
That was because Animal Taming was not limited to one or two beasts, but instead could be applied to many!
How scary would things be if a well-trained beast were to show itself?
Furthermore, when Animal Taming was paired with the animal language that he learned, the synergy was even more terrifying, to the point that he could command an army of animals.
Animal Taming was not limited to instilling obedience in the animal. It also sharpens an animal's abilities, increasing their overall potential by having a strict training regiment and special dietary formula.
Little Green and Little Grey's physique was by no means small. They were already near two thirds the size of a full-grown dog, slowly developing the presence of a wild beast.
Ring ring ring!
Right then, Ye Lingchen's phone rang.
It was a call from Li Tai.
Figuring that such a long time had passed, Huo Yuanjia's filming should be almost done.
"Young Master Ye, it's me." Li Tai's voice could be heard from the other side of the phone.
"Mm, how's the filming process?"
"It's about done. I estimate that we can wrap up soon as we only have a few more scenes left." Li Tai paused for a moment before continuing. "The reason for my call is to notify you that we're facing some troubles in the last couple of scenes."
"What sort of trouble?" Ye Lingchen frowned.
"We lack actors!" Li Tai's sound carried a hint of bitterness, "Our last scene requires some foreigners to take part, and we need a muscular Englishman. We've sent the invitations, but it was met with refusal."

"Refused?"
"That's right. Our movie's ending theme is to showcase Chinese Kungfu and spirit. Huo Yuanjia wins, showcasing the strength of Chinese Kungfu. However, it also insulted the Englishmen. They felt that Chinese Kungfu is lacking, hence they're unwilling to take part in such a movie that insults their country. Thanks to that, we're at an impasse," Li Tai said regretfully.
"I see." Ye Lingchen nodded, considering the matter. That was a difficult situation indeed. "They're not budging at all? This matter is in historical records after all with historical evidence, not something that we made up."
"They have started a boxing gym in China. The main issue is that they're looking down on Chinese Kungfu," Li Tai continued, "saying that they will only agree if Chinese Kungfu can impress them."
That matter had been delayed for a week. At first, Li Tai did not want to bother Ye Lingchen, but that day was the day for their duel. After some thoughts, he finally decided to notify Ye Lingchen about it.
"You guys head over first. Send me the location of the boxing gym. I'll head over right now!"
After the call, Ye Lingchen brought Little Green and Little Grey home and immediately headed to the location Li Tai sent him.
The location's name was called Inferno Boxing Gym!
Hengdian Studios was already in the outskirts quite some distance away from Capital City, but Inferno Boxing Gym turned out to be even further. It was located in a village on the outskirts of Capital City, in the village of Xiangshui.
Without a choice, Ye Lingchen could only call for a taxi. The trip took him two and a half hours, coming to a total of RMB500. The amount caused Ye Lingchen to flinch in pain.
'Damn it, I must get a car as soon as I can!'
Right after that thought, Ye Lingchen remembered that he did not even have a driving license and started to feel bitter.
'F*ck, I better find a chance to get my driving license first…'
Arriving at Xiangshui Village, the scenery caught Ye Lingchen by surprise, baffling him.
It was nothing like he imagined. Xiangshui Village was incredibly prosperous, with heavy traffic and big crowds.
Furthermore, there were quite a number of foreigners with blonde hair and blue eyes. The guys were heavily built while the girls were tall and glamourous. They conversed in English along the way, contributing to the lively atmosphere.
Could that be a tourist hotspot catered to the foreigners?
How did he not hear about it at all within the country?
As he continued, the closer he got to Inferno Boxing Gym, his surroundings grew increasingly lively.
At last, he arrived in front of a huge storefront. Ye Lingchen stood still and looked up towards the big letters of Inferno Boxing Gym above him.
In the store, he could clearly make out the sounds of shouting and excited screams.
Upon entering, Ye Lingchen saw a room full of foreigners. His brows creased into a frown as his nose was assaulted with the sweaty odor in the room.
Rumor has it that foreigners were hairy and sweat profusely. It would seem the rumors were true after all.
The boxing gym was very different from Ye Lingchen's expectations. At first, he thought it would resemble a Chinese martial arts hall, with people training in an orderly fashion. He never expected to see a chaotic scene. It was unclear whether Li Tai and the rest had arrived yet.
Amid the crowd was a ring. Within it, two foreign boxers were fighting each other. Each attack brought cheers from the crow below the ring.
From the looks of it, the foreigners focused more on brute force than actual technique.
Within a crowd of foreigners, Chinese people with black hair and eyes were especially outstanding. In one sweeping glance, Ye Lingchen managed to spot someone he knew.
At the same time, the other party's gaze had similarly fell upon him, blurting out in surprise, "Eh, why are you here?"

Godfather Of Champions
This is a story about the pursuit of victory.— «I subscribe only to the theory of victory. I only pursue victory. As long as I am able to obtain victory, I don’t care if it’s total football or counterattack. What is the ultimate goal of professional soccer? In my opinion, it is victory, and the pinnacle of victory is to become the champions. I am a manager. If I don’t wish to lose my job or be forgotten by the people, there’s only one path for me to take, and that is to lead the team in obtaining victories, in obtaining championship titles!»The main character was not well-liked by people.— «⋯We conducted a survey which had been deemed by Manager Tony Twain as extremely meaningless. In a random street survey conducted, ninety-three percent of those surveyed chose the option ‘I hate Tony Twain’, while only seven percent chose the option ‘This person is rather decent, I like him’. It is worth noting that nobody chose the option ‘Who is Tony Twain? I don’t know him’. Mark, do you know why Manager Twain felt that our survey was very meaningless?» Parker, a reporter from laughed loudly and said when he was being interviewed by BBC.But there were also people who were madly in love with him.— When Tony Twain was forced to talk about the survey conducted by during an interview, his reply was : «I am happy, because Nottingham Forest’s fans make up seven percent of England’s population.»And he did not seem to care about how the others saw him.— «What are you all trying to make me say? Admit that I am not popular, and everywhere I go will be filled with jeers and middle fingers. You all think I will be afraid? Wrong! Because I am able to bring victory to my team and its supporters. I don’t care how many people hate me and can’t wait to kill me, and I also won’t change myself to accommodate the mood of these losers. You want to improve your mood? Very simple, come and defeat me.»His love story had garnered widespread attention.— «Our reporters took these pictures at Manager Tony Twain’s doorsteps. It clearly shows that Shania entered his house at 8.34pm and she did not leave the house throughout the night at all. But Manager Tony Twain firmly denies, and insists that that was merely the newest-model inflatable doll which he had ordered.He was the number one star of the team.— «⋯ Became the spokesperson of world-wide famous clothing brands, shot advertisements, frequented the fashion industry’s award ceremonies, endorsed electronic games, has a supermodel girlfriend. His earnings from advertisements exceed his club salary by seventeen times, owns a special column in various print medias, publishing his autobiography (in progress), and is even said that he is planning to shoot an inspirational film based off his own person experiences! Who can tell me which part of his life experiences is worthy of being called ‘inspirational’? Hold on⋯. Are you all thinking that I’m referring to David Beckham? You’re sorely mistaken! I’m talking about Manager Tony Twain⋯.»He was very knowledgeable about Chinese soccer.— «⋯ I’ve heard about it, that Bora gifted four books to his manager Mr. Zhu before your country’s national team’s warm up match. After which, the team lost 1:3 to a nameless American team from Major League Soccer. The new excuse that Mr. Zhu gave for losing the match, was that Bora gifted «books» (‘books’ and ‘lose’ are homophones in the Chinese language). Here, I recommend that you guys find out what that one specific book is. Which book? Of course the one that caused you all to score a goal. After that, tell me the title of the book. Before every match, I will gift ten copies of that same book to you. In that case, won’t you all be able to get a triumphant 10:0 win over your opponents every time?» An excerpt taken from Tony Twain’s special column in a certain famous Chinese sports newspaper.He was loved and hated by the press.— «He has a special column in at least four renowned print media, and he is able to get a considerable amount of remuneration just by scolding people or writing a few hundred words of nonsense weekly. While we have to contemplate hard about our drafts for three days before our boss is pleased with it. In an article inside his special column, he scolded and called all of the media ‘son of a bitch’, announcing that he hated the media the most. But every time he publishes an article, we flock towards him like flies which had spotted butter. Why? Because the readers like to read his news and see him scold people. I dare to bet with you, and Manager Tony Twain knows clearly in his heart as well, that even though he says that he hates us, he knows that the present him cannot do without us. Similarly, we also cannot do without him. Is this ultimately considered a good or a bad thing?» Bruce Pearce, a reporter from said with a face of helplessness when talking about Tony Twain.But no matter the case, his players were his most loyal believers.— Gareth Bale, «No no, we never had any pressure when playing on our home grounds. Because the pressure is all on the manager. As long as we see him standing by the side of the field, all of us will feel that we will be able to win that match. Even the football hooligans are like meek lambs in front of him!» (After saying this, he began to laugh out loudly)The reply from George Wood, the team captain of Nottingham Forest, was the most straightforward. «We follow him because he can bring us victory.»The legendary experience of Tony Twain, the richest, most successful, most controversial manager with the most unique personality!Debuting this summer.Thank you for reading.

The system gave her dream back, and this time she is not letting it go. ############################## The story is about a world where game-like systems are the norm. Everyone has a level, status, and even skills are a common thing.

The story follows Hera, a woman who wanted to be an explorer, but her status were too low to become one. One day she wins a raffle that allows her to level up for the first time giving her the chance to achieve her childhood dream.

I want to give sort of a slice of life feeling to most of it.
