After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

"Where is number 183?"

The sudden voice startled everyone, and then they looked at the number plates of the people around them.

Chen Yu didn't say anything, just slowly stood up, and even walked to the entrance.

The person who had just shouted took a glance at the number plate on Chen Yu's chest, made a quick note, and then pointed to a warehouse nearby.

"Go there and put on a suit of armor!"

Chen Yu didn't care about anything else and walked straight into the warehouse.

This place seemed to be seldom managed, with dust everywhere, all kinds of armor scattered on the ground, as well as some strange human tactical skeletons.

These things were made exactly according to the human body and carried various weapons; wearing them was like having an extra layer of protection.

The only problem was their weight, which ordinary people could hardly bear.

Chen Yu just glanced once and then turned around, heading straight for the ring.

He didn't need any of those things.

When Chen Yu stood on the ring, the place fell silent all of a sudden, all eyes focused on him.

"My God, is this kid here to die? He's not even wearing basic armor."

"Doesn't anyone tell him that if he dies, he doesn't get paid?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"I heard that this one is a new type of robot just developed; under these circumstances, a single punch could turn this kid into a mush."

...

People whispered among themselves; almost everyone was pessimistic about Chen Yu's chances.

The next moment, a five-meter-tall behemoth of a steel robot was thrown onto the ring.

Whoever hosted this ring match must have been out of their mind to come up with such a twisted kind of competition.

Human physical abilities were limited and could never outmatch machines; even with armor and external tactical skeletons for protection, facing such a robot meant certain death.

Chen Yu, however, appeared calm and composed, looked up at the robot in front of him, and walked slowly towards it.

Not far away, the referee took out a microphone.

"Contestant, you have one minute before the match starts; you can still go back and put on a piece of simple armor."

Chen Yu's face was full of indifference, "Let's start now, I don't need so much preparation work."

The words provoked a lot of wide-eyed stares from the audience.

The competition had been held for who knows how many years, and they had never seen someone so gutsy, daring to face off against such a huge robot without any protective gear.

The referee was stunned for a moment, then a fierce gleam flashed in his eyes.

For him, the lives of the contestants were not important; what was important was whether the audience was excited, whether they would pay for the match.

"Good, the match begins!"

At the command, the huge robot suddenly moved, its massive steel fist smashing down with ferocious force.

The powerful gust of wind distorted the very air.

Everyone's eyes were wide open, staring hard at the ring, as if anticipating a scene of flesh and blood flying.

But the next moment, everyone was dumbstruck.

Chen Yu, with his flesh and bones, caught the steel fist steadily.

Before they could react, he performed a dominating shoulder throw, smashing the robot onto the ring, creating a large crater.

The place was dead silent; nobody had expected an ordinary person to burst out with such immense strength.

Yet Chen Yu's vision was a bit dark; that last move had consumed too much of his strength, almost not recovering in time.

In fact, when the match had started, the system had decoded the inside structure of the robot by analyzing its capabilities, shutting down all of its weapon systems and the braking system.

Chen Yu took the opportunity at that instant to slam the big fellow onto the arena.

After a slight pause, he directly grabbed the cover behind the robot, yanked it off fiercely, and disconnected the wires and remote braking system inside.

The automatic judgment system in the arena immediately announced the result.

"My God! That seems to be the first human to win since the competition started."

"In the past, at best someone could withstand the robot's attacks without dying, taking away a gold or two, but today someone is going to break that record."

...

Under the astonished gazes of the audience, the referee, holding ten gold, respectfully approached and handed them to Chen Yu.

"Young man, you must be a newcomer, I've never seen you before."

Chen Yu nodded slightly, "I didn't have the money to come as a spectator, so I had to join as a contestant."

The referee was stunned for a moment, laughed twice, and then pulled out a barcode from his pocket and handed it to Chen Yu.

"Want to win some more gold?"

Chen Yu put away the twenty gold, "No one thinks money is too much, of course, I want to win more."

The referee immediately got excited.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our contestant wants to continue the challenge. If he can consecutively beat ten robots, he will win one thousand gold."

The venue fell silent for a moment, then erupted into frantic cheers.

Since the competitions were established here, no one had dared to make such a challenge.

It was undoubtedly a death wish.

But such a competition fully aroused the passion of everyone present.

Chen Yu took the microphone from the host's hand.

"What's the fun in such a competition? In my opinion, why not have ten robots come at me all at once?"

The moment he said that, the atmosphere at the scene escalated a notch further.

The host was also frightened; he had never encountered such a situation before.

Just then, a lady hurried over and whispered a few words in the host's ear.

The host coughed twice.

"Please welcome the strongest ten robots in our venue to the stage."

As the words fell, he immediately jumped off the arena, followed by a thunderous roaring noise throughout the venue.

Ten fully armed robots strode grandly out from the adjacent passage.

The weapons on these guys were very advanced, taking any one of them out could cause a huge sensation.

Chen Yu still appeared indifferent. He walked forward a few steps and gently tapped with his finger.

An imperceptible blue-white glow instantly spread out, enveloping the robots.

Following the host's command, Chen Yu dashed forward like lightning.

Before the crowd could react, the robots had already fallen to the ground, sparking flames.

The highly excited audience was stunned in place; they had come to see a thrilling fight but didn't expect it to be over so quickly.

The host too was wide-eyed, as he didn't expect Chen Yu to defeat ten robots in such a short amount of time.

Chen Yu took a moment to regulate his breathing and then approached the host.

"For something like this, I should receive at least five thousand gold, right?"

The host swallowed hard, not daring to agree on the spot, and after uttering some polite words to the audience, he hastily led Chen Yu backstage.
