Chapter 478 Sakura Country

In the Sakura Country's official live broadcast room, after broadcasting a global exchange battle of Miyakawa Akari.

"Miyakawa has won again." The male host was impassioned. "Miyakawa's swordsmanship is truly superb, and undoubtedly the number one swordsmanship in the world today! He is the God of Swordsmanship!"

"There is also a very important matter to ask of everyone." The female host next to him also said, "There are less than ten days left until the final score ranking of the Martial Arts Gym! Miyakawa is currently ranked eighth, and needs everyone's support very much. Please give him full marks in your evaluations."

"Our Sakura Country has a small population, far less than the Roman Empire, the White Eagle Federation, the Xia Country, and the Heavenly Axis Country, so the number of paid downloads and evaluations is also at a disadvantage." The male host said sincerely, "Although we have a small number of citizens, we are united. Please be sure to give full marks in your evaluations. If we fall out of the top ten in the end, that will be our greatest failure."

"Be sure to give full marks in your evaluations!" The female host had tears in her eyes.

The people of the Sakura Country also worked hard to support him.

Even some indifferent people, in the face of repeated media publicity and friends' promotions, rated Miyakawa Akari's course as 10.

"I'll change it, I'll change it, okay? Full marks, alright?" A decadent young man, urged by his friend, changed Miyakawa Akari's evaluation to 10 points. The decadent young man said indifferently, "To be honest, Miyakawa's kendo is very powerful, but his teaching is really average. I didn't learn anything! And even if all the citizens of our Sakura Country support him, there are only over 100 million people. Look at Xia Country, Heavenly Axis Country, and the Roman Empire, those are all starting from one billion people! How can we compare?"

"Precisely because we have a small population, we must support Miyakawa even more." The woman said solemnly.

"If Miyakawa's course could be as simple and practical as Xu Jingming and Liu Hai's, with a good enough reputation, the number of paid downloads and evaluations would also increase." The decadent young man didn't care. "It's still because the quality of his own course is average."

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to find Takei." The woman left.

……

As the deadline for points approached, countries were working hard to support their own experts, and many citizens spontaneously organized to help promote them. On the contrary, the top three were the calmest, because the people behind them could not threaten them.

Di Jano's total score was stable in third place. Although Xu Jingming and Liu Hai had competition, they themselves didn't care, and the country didn't care either. No matter who got first place, they were both Xia Country people.

"Huff."

At the end of December, the weather in Peng Hai City also turned cold.

The wind was very cold on his body, but Cheng Zihao's heart was even colder at the moment.

He was walking alone on the street. The originally bustling street was also very deserted. The development of the virtual world...caused a large number of businesses in reality to close down, and many businesses turned to the virtual world.

On the deserted street, Cheng Zihao walked silently, not knowing where to go.

His mansion had just been seized.

"The company is finished."

"My bank account has been frozen, and all assets have been seized. It's definitely not enough to repay the debt." Cheng Zihao was very clear about this. In his most glorious times, many of the contracts he signed were worth hundreds of millions or even billions.

Many of those investors required him to have unlimited joint and several liability. He signed them at the time, thinking that the company would only become more and more awesome.

When spending money, he never felt sorry for it.

He felt that it was to occupy the market! But now, he felt very sorry, his heart was so numb from the pain.

"It's all over, it's all over."

"Personal bankruptcy."

"The money I earn, except for the minimum living expenses, will be automatically deducted by the system to repay the debt." Cheng Zihao was very clear about this, "Where do I go now? I'm not even qualified to stay in a hotel."

"Only the government's welfare security building is left." Cheng Zihao said silently.

The welfare security building is the minimum guarantee provided for bankrupt people and people who cannot support themselves. The living environment is very poor, and the food is also very ordinary.

After all, with the popularization of the evolution method, everyone's body is very good. As long as they are willing to endure hardship, going to work in a factory can be worth several ordinary robots. After all, ordinary robots are not as intelligent as evolved humans. But Cheng Zihao obviously didn't want to go to the factory to do hard labor.

"A welfare security building, is that a place for people to stay?"

Cheng Zihao was also unwilling to go. He walked to the street, sat on a long chair, and looked up stupidly at the screen of a distant building.

The screen was showing the total score ranking of the Martial Arts Gym.

"Now Liu Hai and Xu Jingming have almost the same total scores. Who will be the final number one in points will be revealed in three days." The host appeared on the big screen, saying with great passion, "No matter who gets first place, the first and second places are both from Xia Country. This is the pride of our Xia Country."

Cheng Zihao stared blankly, without a trace of expression.

In a car in the distance.

Cheng Liwei looked at his son sitting there blankly through the window from afar.

"Dad." Cheng Zitong said in a low voice, "Are we not going to care about him?"

"How can we care?" Cheng Liwei looked on, "I told him not to borrow money to do business again, and you also personally visited and were willing to invest in his company, telling him not to gamble! But he didn't listen, and still signed too many contracts with unlimited joint and several liability, as well as some gambling contracts. His heart is too big! The fall is too big, even if you give him tens of billions more, he won't be able to recover. How can we save him?"

Cheng Zitong nodded lightly: "I went to him, and he thought I was greedy for his benefits, gave him too low a valuation, and kicked me out."

"He's just not cut out for doing business."

Cheng Liwei shook his head. "When the trend of the virtual world came, the valuation of his live broadcast company soared. Was that his ability? No, he was just a pig in the wind! He was blown up by the wind. When the competition became a little more intense, he couldn't do it anymore."

"People, it's valuable to have self-knowledge." Cheng Liwei said softly.

"Second brother, can't he make a comeback?" Cheng Zitong said, "Dad, I know you have many ways."

His father was still very skilled, managing the Tiger Shark Group to such a strong level, but later, with the arrival of the virtual world, in the face of the general trend, he suffered a heavy blow.

Even so, his father also isolated some assets outside, but his father personally couldn't escape responsibility and was also in a state of bankruptcy. But Cheng Zitong supported his father, and his father could still enjoy a good life.

"His debt is too big." Cheng Liwei said, "The only chance to make a comeback is the 'martial arts' that the entire Blue Star Alliance is now fully promoting. If he can be like some martial arts geniuses, and also become a global top expert, he can naturally stand out! But... is your brother that kind of material?"

Cheng Zitong was silent.

"Let's go." Cheng Liwei closed the window.

"Yes."

The car started and quietly left.

Cheng Zihao didn't know at all that his father and brother had observed him from afar. He was still immersed in pain and despair.

……

Time finally came to December 31st, which was also the last day of 2081.

At home, in the living room.

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao were chatting, while the light screen was showing the total score ranking of the Martial Arts Gym.

"As the saying goes, 'A long road tests a horse's strength; a long task proves a person's heart.' After practicing for a long time, you will know whose course is better." Li Miaomiao smiled and looked at Xu Jingming, "I was right, Jingming, your course is the clearest explanation, giving people a clear goal for training, so they can constantly improve themselves."

"I know that many people in countries all over the internet have revised their evaluations of you. Many of those who initially gave low evaluations later changed them to high evaluations." Li Miaomiao smiled happily.

Xu Jingming looked at the total score: "I didn't expect that on the last day, the total score would surpass Master's."

"In fact, in the past few days, your two scores have been going back and forth, constantly changing." Li Miaomiao said, "This has also caused a great discussion in countries around the world, discussing whether Liu Hai's course or your course is better? The more you debate, the clearer the truth becomes. This course is compared, and many people feel that your course is still better."

"Especially those who are stuck in a bottleneck, feel that you have pointed the way." Li Miaomiao praised, "Even Miyakawa Akari and Fang Yu, these two great experts, have publicly said that your course has given them a lot of help. Fang Yu said...that it was because of your mind-refining course that he finally successfully reached the fourth level."

"I'm just giving a little guidance, after all, I'm also exploring the fourth level." Xu Jingming shook his head and smiled.

In the early stage, Liu Hai's course had high ratings.

But in the middle and late stages, more and more people stood up and stated that Xu Jingming's course allowed them to break through bottlenecks. Even including top experts like Miyakawa Akari and Fang Yu.

You must know...

Fang Yu has recently passed the fourth floor of the Starry Sky Tower! The momentum is getting stronger and stronger. At the same level, the advantages of the evolution method's compatibility will become apparent.

"At 9 p.m., the time is up." Li Miaomiao said, "The total score ranking is set."

Xu Jingming also clicked on the light screen to check the Martial Arts Gym information: "The Martial Arts Gym has issued an announcement."

Clicking on the announcement, looking at the final ranking of the total scores—

First: Xu Jingming (Xia Country)

Second: Liu Hai (Xia Country)

Third: Di Jano (Bovana)

……

Tenth: Miyakawa Akari (Sakura Country)

"Jingming." Li Miaomiao kissed him happily.

Xu Jingming also lowered his head to kiss her.

Tomorrow is the day they get their marriage certificate.
