Chapter 231 How about we make a bet?

Lin Hong couldn't help but curl her lip and muttered softly: "Heh, men... they only know how to brag..."

Although they had witnessed Jiang Jing's superhuman intelligence and skills, physical fitness was not something that could be trained just by having a smart brain.

In their view, with Jiang Jing's delicate and tender appearance, how good could his stamina really be?

It was nothing more than relying on his youth to tough it out.

Jiang Jing looked at the two women's clearly disbelieving, even slightly "caring" gazes, pondered for a moment, and a sly smile suddenly curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"It seems the two captains have some doubts about my strength."

Jiang Jing tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, "Talk is cheap, why don't... we make a bet?"

Lin Hong had the most straightforward personality, and upon hearing this, she immediately raised an eyebrow and asked: "A bet? Bet on what?"

She wanted to see what kind of tricks Jiang Jing could come up with.

Jiang Jing smiled slightly, his tone calm but carrying a sense of arrogance: "Let's bet... you think I am indulged in women and physically weak, but I believe that I am actually a one-in-a-million martial arts genius. If we really fought, the two of you combined... might not be my match."

Silence! A deathly silence!

Once Jiang Jing said this, not to mention Lin Hong, even the usually calm and gentle Zhou Wanqin was stunned by this earth-shattering, arrogant statement.

What did they just hear?

A young rich man who spends his days surrounded by beauties and relies on an astonishing brain to conduct scientific research and inventions, actually had the audacity to say that the two of them—national-level elite bodyguards who have undergone strict military training since childhood and are proficient in various combat and grappling arts—could not beat him even when combined?!

This was even more absurd than hearing that a sow could climb a tree!

Lin Hong was the first to react; it was as if she had heard the funniest joke of the century, and she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

"Mr. Jiang, we know that in certain fields you are a well-deserved genius, even a monster. On this point, we are convinced and concede, but..."

Her tone carried the pride and confidence unique to a soldier: "When it comes to martial arts, combat, and actual fighting, it's not that I look down on you, but ten of you tied together might not even be a match for either one of us!"

"Do you know how much cruel training we have gone through? Do you know what kind of lethal skills we have mastered?"

Although Zhou Wanqin did not speak, the slightly furrowed brows and the look of deep agreement in her eyes showed that she completely agreed with Lin Hong's point of view.

In her view, Jiang Jing's words were purely a case of a man's ridiculous pride at work.

Jiang Jing looked at the two women's "you have no idea what you are talking about" expressions, not annoyed at all; instead, the smile on his face became more meaningful, as if the fish had already taken the bait.

"Just talking is useless, of course." Jiang Jing shrugged, looking very easygoing, "How about this, to prove that I am not bragging, I will also give you a chance to teach me."

"Starting from today, you can take turns teaching me all the combat arts, grappling techniques, and practical experience you know. As for me as a student, I dare not say anything else, but I learn things exceptionally fast."

He paused, throwing out an even more astonishing statement: "Perhaps... it won't even take half a month before I can graduate, and then defeat both of you teachers. What do you think?"

Half a month?

Learn the essence of the combat skills they had spent their whole lives mastering, and then turn around and defeat them?

Lin Hong and Zhou Wanqin were once again rendered speechless by Jiang Jing's bold words!

Looking at Jiang Jing's serious expression, which didn't seem like he was joking, the two women felt a trace of wavering and incredulous doubt for the first time.

Could it be... is he really that much of a genius?!

Impossible, right?!

This was completely beyond reason!

A technical personnel conducting scientific research, a playboy who spends his days surrounded by many beauties, now says he can become a combat master within half a month and defeat them, the professionals among professionals?

This feeling... was as absurd as hearing that Zhuge Liang suddenly said he wanted to practice martial arts, and declared that in half a month he could beat Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in a one-on-one fight.

Even the usually gentle Zhou Wanqin was filled with thick doubt and confusion in her eyes at this moment. She couldn't help but softly confirm: "Mr. Jiang, are you... serious? Combat arts require years of arduous training and practical accumulation; it's not something that can be mastered quickly just by having a smart brain."

Jiang Jing could actually do it now, but doing so wasn't fun. Wouldn't it be more interesting to slowly defeat them using the things they taught him...

Jiang Jing restrained his smile, his expression becoming exceptionally serious. He nodded, his tone firm: "I am very serious. I must vindicate myself! I, Jiang Jing, am not just a showpiece!"

Seeing Jiang Jing's serious appearance that didn't seem fake, Lin Hong and Zhou Wanqin looked at each other.

Although reason told them this was absolutely impossible, the miracles Jiang Jing had created before made them afraid to say it was impossible for sure.

In the end, Lin Hong sighed, and like coaxing a willful, mischievous child, she said helplessly: "Fine, fine. Since Mr. Jiang has this interest, we will practice with you. Just consider it for your physical fitness; it's better than you always... always working overtime at night."

Zhou Wanqin also nodded and said softly: "We will try our best to instruct you, but please be sure to act according to your ability, pay attention to safety, and definitely do not get injured."

They had completely treated this bet as a fitness activity to accompany Jiang Jing in his play; no one had ever thought that Jiang Jing could win.

"Straightforward!" Jiang Jing clapped his hands, and then, as if he had just remembered, added: "Right, since it's a bet, there must be a prize, otherwise it would be so boring."

Lin Hong and Zhou Wanqin exchanged a smile, feeling that this childish side of Jiang Jing was actually quite interesting.

Lin Hong asked cooperatively: "Alright, then what does Mr. Jiang want to bet? We will accompany you." Her tone was still like she was coaxing a child.

A flash of light, difficult to detect, flickered in Jiang Jing's eyes, and he slowly said: "It's very simple. If after half a month I lose, it proves that I was indeed bragging..."

He paused, throwing out a condition that made the two women's hearts jump violently: "Then I will unconditionally develop another piece of equipment for the country. Remember, it will be the extremely awesome kind, and the level will not be lower than any of the things I have brought out before. How about it?"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong's beautiful eyes widened instantly, and their breathing even hitched!

An "extremely awesome" new piece of equipment?!

A level not lower than the Super Material and beauty serum?!

The two women's first reaction was not surprise, but huge shock and... a trace of inexplicable emotion!

So... so Mr. Jiang's bet was fake; he wanted to use this method to contribute to the country in a roundabout way!

He must have wanted to bring out new things for a long time, but it wasn't easy to say it directly, so he used this "betting" method to give himself a way out, and at the same time motivate himself?

Yes!

It must be like that!

In an instant, Jiang Jing's image in the hearts of the two beautiful captains seemed to grow taller, shrouded in a layer of "patriotic and dedicated," "well-intentioned" radiance!

Even looking at his flaw of being lustful, it felt much more pleasing to the eye.
