Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

 Chapter 3 She is so scary

The sun came out, and there were scattered people walking on the beach.

Fat James was riding a scooter from the promenade. When he saw the two sitting together having breakfast, he was so surprised that he almost fell off the scooter.

Link didn't explain much. He put away the dishes and re-hung the diving equipment that he had cleaned yesterday in the cupboard. The scratched diving suit also had to be sent back to the original factory for repair, which was another expense.

After breakfast, Taylor sat under the umbrella and stared at the sea in the distance in a daze. Occasionally, she came back to her senses and drew a string of tunes on the guitar with her fingers, which she then wrote on paper.

 “Link!”

James bumped his shoulder with his arm, looked at Taylor Swift at the door, and whispered: "You know, she is a singer and very famous. I saw her poster on the bar street yesterday, saying that she Will be participating in the Beach Music Festival at Hard Rock Stadium this month, and there are Tim McGraw and Faith Hill on the poster, all big stars.”

 “I saw it too.”

Link shrugged. The Miami Beach Music Festival is very large and widely publicized. Recently, you can see related posters on the streets of Palm Beach.

"Link, I checked her information on the Internet. She has released an album and almost won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist this year. The news said that she is a very talented singer-songwriter with great potential and will become a Filipino star in the future. A big star like Si.”

 “It should be possible.”

Link nodded his chin, Taylor would not only become a big star, but also the brightest star in the world's music scene, a billionaire, a model of beauty, beauty, and a very successful woman.

Fat James looked at him with sympathetic eyes, patted his shoulder and said: "Link, she is a big star, we are just ordinary people, your encounter is destined to be a tragedy, you must be mentally prepared to be dumped in the future Well, don’t be too sad.”

 “No, I’m not an ordinary person.”

Link threw the rag into the fat man's arms, took two bottles of water and walked under the sun umbrella.

"Drink water!"

"Thanks!"

Taylor put down the guitar and turned his head to look at him, "Can you play the guitar?"

 “No! I have never learned a musical instrument.”

Link looked at his palms. Apart from being able to mine, push carts, and beat people, these hands had no other skills. Looking at Taylor's white and slender fingers, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of himself.

 “I’ll teach you how to play, the guitar is very simple.”

Taylor didn't wait for him to refuse, and sat down next to him enthusiastically. He put the guitar in his arms, held his fingers, and explained to him the tone of each string, the high and low ranges, and how the fingers worked together.

But she soon became disappointed. Not only did Link have a poor sense of music, but he also didn’t understand any music theory. His fingers were like steel bars and he couldn’t pull them even hard.

After half an hour of teaching, Link couldn't even distinguish the simplest high and low sounds, and Taylor was almost **** off.

 “Why are your fingers so stiff? Can’t you relax a little?”

 “Seriously, can you stop shaking your legs?”

“Wrong, press the second string, that’s the bass range, it’s really stupid.”

Taylor covered his forehead and lay on the beach chair with a look of despair on his face.

James stood behind the counter, laughing.

“Forget it, my fingers are too stiff for playing guitar.”

Link waved his hand and smiled.

His educational level is not high, and his aesthetic level is not high. He used to listen to some popular songs when he was practicing boxing, but he does not understand music theory and has never touched an instrument. Let him play the guitar, which is worse than asking him to compete for the boxing championship belt. difficulty.

Taylor saw the embarrassment on his face and felt very amused. He suppressed a smile and said, "How can you give up when you encounter a little difficulty? If you can't learn, you can learn slowly. If you give up, you will never learn. Come on, let's continue. Don't worry, this I will control my emotions for once and never lose my temper with you."

Link had no choice but to continue practicing. Although Taylor promised not to lose her temper in advance, she only taught for three or four minutes before her temper rose again. She clenched her fists and shook them in front of his eyes, almost hitting him in the face several times. Link was sweating profusely from practicing, and the fat man was laughing so hard that he couldn't help but laugh.

 Fortunately, there is business in the store, and some customers need divers to serve as guides to visit the underwater coral reefs.

Link breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to put down the hot guitar and let Swift continue to create. He took the guests to go diving first and would practice again when he came back later.

“Haha, Link, I’ve told you before, she is a very difficult girl to deal with, very difficult to deal with, I learned the lesson yesterday.”

Fat James came over and gloated.

Link put on the diving equipment, started the speedboat on the pier, and took the guests for a swim in the sea, visiting nearby coral reefs and shipwreck sites.

 The two guests had a great time and left an extra $100 tip afterwards.

When Link came back, Taylor had already left. James said that Taylor's mother drove to pick her up and she went back first, but Taylor said she would come back tomorrow and she felt great creating at the beach.

There were not many customers in the store in the afternoon. Link had a barbecue rice at the Mexican restaurant next door, took a nap, and started practicing boxing.

 In his previous life, he was born with poor physical condition and malnutrition. He was only 171 cm tall and had a small frame, which resulted in insufficient energy storage and insufficient explosive power in his body.

 In a boxing match, you can only rely on your tenacious will, flexible speed, and super resistance to consume the opponent's energy.

 He can achieve good results when fighting at the middleweight and welterweight levels. When it comes to light heavyweight, it will be very difficult to fight against tall and strong opponents.

 After traveling through time, his physical fitness is comparable to that of top athletes.

Height 186 cm, wingspan 192 cm, weight 78.7 kg, clean and **** 132 kg, **** 141 kg, 100-meter swimming speed within 20 seconds, 1000-meter swimming speed of 6 minutes and 34 seconds.

And during this month of training, his strength, speed, and reaction ability are still slowly increasing, and his body is getting stronger.

Link decided to continue training to see how much potential he had.

“Link, it’s time for us to pay the management fee.”

While he was exercising, Fat James gnawed on a hot dog and said, "This month's water and electricity bills, sanitation fees, public service fees, dock usage fees, venue fees, etc. total 8,700 US dollars, and our monthly income is 14,540 US dollars." "

 “Sounds good to me.”

Link hangs his legs upside down on the iron frame and does sit-ups to exercise abdominal muscles and waist strength.

"Not bad? How did you hear it was good? I haven't counted the equipment repair and wear and tear expenses. Counting these two, the net income this month is less than 3,000. If we also pay ourselves wages, we will lose tens of thousands this month. You do you know?"

 “Don’t worry, it’s good if you don’t lose money.”

Link said breathlessly.

"But it won't work if we continue like this. After October, there will be fewer people diving, and the store's business will be even worse. Link, what do you think we also sell hot dogs?"

 “Can you make hot dogs? I remember dive shops can’t sell food.”

 “How about selling bikinis? Hey, bikinis are also one of the diving equipment.”

James held his double chin, imagining the scene of the shop being crowded with bikini girls, and couldn't help but burst into weird laughter.

 “Don’t think about it, build the diving shop first, and you can make money slowly.”

Link hung upside down on the iron frame and continued to do sit-ups, preparing to develop the eight-pack abs from his previous life.

New books to read.
