After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 314

Chapter 314: Chapter 314: The Balance is Longer Than His QQ Number

"The third challenge..." Lan Yu scratched her head and said, "The third challenge is said to be a couples’ push-up, and it’s also $10 per attempt."

"It’s where the guy does push-ups on top of the girl, and completing 40 in one minute counts as a pass. Plus, the form has to be correct."

"If it’s less than 40, there’s an encouragement award based on the number completed."

"—40??" Upon hearing this, Han Jing couldn’t help but comment.

"Is this a night market game or are they selecting athletes here? The standard is so high."

"Exactly because the standard is high, most people can’t complete it, and that’s how the stallholder makes money," Lu Sheng explained.

"Right," Lan Yu nodded, "Anyway, the first three challenges are like this, and I’ve seen many comments saying that not many can pass the first one, and even fewer can get through the second and third ones."

"It seems like this event has been going on for several days now, and only a few couples have managed to pass the first three challenges to reach the final one. And those few couples only got the encouragement award, not the first, second, or third prizes."

Hearing Lan Yu say this, Lu Sheng asked, "What’s the final challenge game like? Is it very difficult?"

Lan Yu replied, "The strategy guide didn’t mention what the final challenge is, but it must be very tough."

"Because the first prize is that stuffed cat, the second prize is a tablet worth $3,000, and the third prize is a lipstick set worth over $1,000. The encouragement prize also seems to be something worth several hundred dollars."

"The stallholder uses prizes totaling over ten thousand dollars to attract people, so obviously, he can’t let them take the prizes easily."

"However difficult the game is, participating costs at most $90, but you might win prizes worth several hundred or even a thousand dollars."

"If you can make it to the final challenge, even an encouragement award would be worth it, so there are still many participants, and the business is booming," she added.

After seeing Lan Yu consulting the strategy guide and explaining so much to them, Lu Sheng asked her, "So, do you want to give it a try?"

"I do want to participate, I really like that cat plushie. But I don’t have a boyfriend, so I don’t even qualify to participate..."

Lan Yu couldn’t help feeling down, but before she could finish, Han Jing interrupted her.

"...Ahem," Han Jing awkwardly scratched his hair and cleared his throat as he looked towards Lan Yu.

"Didn’t you just say that even though this activity is for couples, strangers or friends who want to win prizes can also form a temporary CP to participate?"

"Since I’m free anyway, let me do you a favor and reluctantly pair up with you for now, and join the game with you," he proposed.

"Really?!" Lan Yu’s eyes lit up at hearing this, then she gave Han Jing a skeptical look—

"Wait a second, why are you suddenly being so nice to me? Didn’t you always say that these kinds of games are childish?"

"I..." Han Jing opened his mouth, his ears suddenly turning a tad red, and finally managed to force out a sentence, "Who’s being nice to you? Don’t you understand a man’s desire to win?!"

"Didn’t you just say the event is tough and hardly anyone makes it to the last challenge? I’ve never failed to pass a game since I was little, I just want to try it, it’s not for you."

This was indeed very much in Han Jing’s character.

Hearing Han Jing say this, Lan Yu finally felt at ease.

She said very seriously: "Then let’s agree on this first: even though we participate together, I’ll pay for the game. If we really win the cat, you’re not allowed to fight over it with me."

"What am I, unreliable in your eyes, that I’d fight a girl for a cat?" Han Jing couldn’t help but protest, "If you like cats, I’ll take you to buy the world’s most expensive plushie, even nicer looking than this one."

Lan Yu rolled her eyes: "What kind of nouveau riche comment is that, I don’t want the most expensive plushie. Pets are not about the price, it’s about whether they click with you or not. I just like this one."

"Alright, alright, let’s go win it then," Han Jing hastily agreed, not wanting Lan Yu to get upset.

After speaking with Han Jing, Lan Yu turned expectantly towards Lu Sheng: "So Shengsheng, you and President Li..."

Seeing Li Muchen ready to pay for everything, Lan Yu initially felt a bit embarrassed.

But then she thought, there really was no need to be polite about $90 with President Li, who had a hundred billion fortune.

After paying, someone came to guide Lu Sheng and the others to the queue.

However, the man who scanned the code caught a glimpse of the balance figure in Li Muchen’s account and his eyeballs nearly popped out.

He was so stunned that even after Lu Sheng and the others had walked far, he still hadn’t recovered.

——I mean, what’s with that string of numbers in this man’s balance, longer than his QQ number?

Is it that he is seeing things, or has the world gone mad?

——

Lu Sheng and the rest were led to the queuing spot and looking up, they saw the area split into four sections in sequence towards the front.

There was only one pair of couples left on the field now, playing the third game, couple push-ups.

The girl lies on the soft mat while the boy on top of her was strenuously doing push-ups.

There was an electronic countdown timer next to them, and someone was flipping through huge numeric pages, recording the number of push-ups the boy was doing.

The last ten seconds of the minute were counting down, but the slim boy already looked visibly exhausted, though he was still trying his hardest to keep going. Barely maintaining the standard of the movement, his arms were trembling fiercely.

However, when the countdown reached zero, the number of push-ups the boy had done just happened to be 39.

——Just one short of the standard needed to pass.

When the stall owner blew the whistle, the crowd around instantly let out a sigh of disappointment.
