Not to mention anything else.
Just looking at their builds, Lin Yu and Chi Qingchi didn’t look like people who could finish thirty skewers.
And with the unmistakable air of youth about them, it was practically impossible not to equate Lin Yu and Little Chi with a pair of clueless rookies!
Chi Qingchi was stunned by Lin Yu’s actions as well.
She had already tried to stop him once, but Lin Yu still insisted on signing up a second time.
If she tried to stop him again, the two of them looked ready to start arguing right there on the spot.
So all she could do was watch helplessly as Little Lin completed the registration.
Only afterward did she pull him aside and ask in disbelief:
“Little Lin, are you serious?”
“Thirty skewers? In twenty minutes!”
“That means you’d have to eat one skewer in less than a minute. Are your cheeks made of iron?”
“As for placing or not placing…”
“Shouldn’t we take our circumstances into consideration?”
“What if you can’t finish them…”
Even if the challenge really did end in failure, Chi Qingchi naturally had no intention of making Lin Yu pay.
But the price of thirty skewers was already half again as much as she had budgeted for.
If he really failed the challenge, she would be making a complete fool of herself!
As a poor student—and one whose allowance was tightly controlled by her older sister—she simply didn’t have enough money in her pocket to pay for thirty skewers.
Little Lin might be very wealthy.
But she had asked him to come help her. Making him pay on top of that would completely defeat the purpose.
“What courage, little brother and little sister!”
Without giving Lin Yu a chance to explain, the competitive-eating couple took the initiative and came over to talk to them.
Chi Qingchi first checked whether they were carrying any equipment.
She also looked around their necks and collars to see whether they were wearing microphones.
If they had brought recording equipment, she would have to be more careful about what she said.
Fortunately, the two of them didn’t seem to have come prepared today.
It looked more like they had simply happened to pass by and noticed the challenge at the entrance.
They weren’t carrying any equipment at all.
It was the husband who spoke.
He had a warm, infectious smile and seemed very good-natured.
At the very least, it was clear that he hadn’t come to compete. He was only stopping by to say hello.
Since the man was being so polite, Lin Yu naturally responded in kind.
He first raised a hand in a simple greeting, then said:
“Hello, you two. I’m here with my girlfriend, too.”
“She really wants to take first place, so I’m here to give it my all with her.”
“I’ve never participated in anything like this before, so I don’t know whether I’ll be able to complete the challenge.”
The competitive-eating wife gave Lin Yu a thumbs-up and praised him:
“Well done, little brother. It’s great that you’re willing to compete alongside your girlfriend.”
“Do your best, but don’t eat so much that you make yourself sick.”
“Little sister…”
“If you can’t finish them, just leave them all to your boyfriend!”
“Maybe today’s champion will come down to our two teams!”
The competitive-eating husband continued:
“It looks like no one else signed up for this many. Only our two teams chose thirty skewers.”
Chi Qingchi felt happy inside when she heard them praising Lin Yu.
She linked her arm through Lin Yu’s and said sweetly:
“Thank you, big brother and big sister.”
“I’m really happy that he was willing to come compete with me.”
“We’ll definitely give it our all. You two look like you’re incredibly skilled.”
“We’ll try not to fall too far behind you. Hehe…”
Chi Qingchi held tightly to Lin Yu’s arm.
No matter what happened,
Little Lin had written down so many skewers for her sake.
They were in this together!
At worst, she could go home and throw up afterward.
For the sake of Little Lin’s trust in her, she was going to give it everything she had!
y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation! He could become completely intangible, pass through all things, and reduce everything to nothingness! … On his fiftieth chest, he obtained a Mythic Weapon: Blade of Karma! With a single slash, karma shattered, twisting the universe and overturning the myriad phenomena of creation! … On his ninety-ninth chest, he obtained a Mythic Divine Treasure: Primordial Purple Energy! It could split open the heavens and earth, create all things, and evolve countless worlds with a single thought! Lin Ye: “Now that I think about it… shouldn’t someone have told me that every chest is guaranteed to contain something Mythic?!”
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ...

e vast world of cultivation, where he becomes the master of the Heavenly Ruins Sacred Hall, a dying old man with barely a tenth of his former cultivation remaining. He is immediately confronted with a deadly crisis: his subordinates have rebelled, and his protectors are forcing him to abdicate. At the critical moment, the system descends from the heavens: [Ding! The host has been detected facing a life-or-death crisis. The system is now officially activated!] [As a gift, you have received the Supreme Beginner’s Pack and awakened the ultimate cheat: ten thousand years of pure cultivation essence every second!] Yin Tianjue: “Wait… ten thousand years of cultivation every second? That’s six hundred thousand years a minute, and in one day… I can’t even calculate it. Either way, I’m already invincible!” You’re a peerless prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand years? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re an undying ancestor who has guarded a sacred land for countless ages? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re the strongest chosen one, blessed with heaven-defying destiny? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. From this day forth, I have only one thing to say: “I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. Now, how exactly are you supposed to deal with that?”
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
