After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106: Chapter 106: The Unsung National Hero

Lan Yu couldn’t help but widen her eyes: "The Abis underground boxing match? A national hero?"

"Yes," Han Jing explained, "The Abis Boxing Competition is the most famous underground boxing match in the world, and it has different rules from ordinary underground boxing matches."

"Each competition is sponsored by wealthy backers who provide a prize to attract boxers from all over the world to sign up and participate. The winner of the match takes the prize."

"Because these prizes are often highly valuable, each match sees dozens, and sometimes hundreds, of boxers registering to participate, including many well-known international boxers who come specifically for the prize."

"Due to the fierce competition and excitement of the Abis matches, they are extremely popular and attract a large audience. The betting turnover for each match often exceeds ten million."

"Specifically, depending on the number of participants, the competition can last several days. Each contestant fights one match per night, and opponents are determined by drawing lots for one-on-one battles."

"The loser withdraws, and the winner fights the next night. They continue drawing lots from the previous night’s winners and keep fighting until one person wins the final match."

"I see," Lan Yu became even more curious, "So who is this Panda?"

Mentioning Panda, excitement clearly colored Han Jing’s eyes as he spoke enthusiastically.

"Two years ago, one of the Abis boxing matches drew global attention, even mainstream media from various countries went there to film and interview."

"Because that year’s prize was a rare Bronze Artifact from China, looted by invading allied forces during a war, with an auction value of over a hundred million."

"This was a thing worth hundreds of millions of dollars, so boxers from all over the world exploded with interest and ran to the UK to participate. That competition had over five hundred boxers registered."

"The media had been notified to come and film, not just because of the hype, but because they knew the profound significance that this artifact held for China."

"In recent years, with China’s unstoppable economic growth, Western countries have been engaging in various boycotts and conspiracy theories against us, always provoking opposition or stigmatizing us, even using our past suffering to mock us."

"In their view, even though China’s priceless artifact was right there in plain sight, we couldn’t bring it back to our homeland, we could only watch it remain abroad."

"An artifact that remains abroad and cannot return home is not just a shame from war but a trauma, a trauma for all Chinese people."

"They naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity to see who would finally take the artifact and to which country it would be taken."

"What happened next?" Lan Yu’s curiosity was fully piqued. "What happened after that?"

Han Jing said, "You know, the people who fight in underground boxing matches are extremely robust men, and our Chinese people don’t have the physical advantage in terms of build and strength."

"In that competition, it was basically all burly Black and Caucasian people, and from Asia, only two Chinese participated."

"But these two were a bespectacled, scholarly-looking boy and a slender girl wearing a panda mask."

"It was later revealed that the boy was Ji Yan, the grandson of Old Mr. Ji, head of the China Cultural Heritage Research Institute, but no one knew the identity of the girl."

"Because they used numbers in that competition, and the girl was wearing a panda mask, so everyone at the venue and in the media started calling her Panda."
