The opportunity is yours, but you’re just not up to it. What’s wrong with a ride-hailing driver having some money?
The first level is called the Death Roll.
Sounds scary, but it’s just five big rollers.
Yang Chen rushed over quickly. Because he was so fast, he easily passed the five rollers like a dragonfly skimming the water, and successfully jumped to the transfer platform five meters away.
Female host: “Wow, he’s too fast. He flew over in one breath.”
Male host: “No wonder he said he was here to stock up. He’s got the confidence.”
The second level is called Bouncy Balls.
It consists of five huge elastic balls. You can only reach the third level transfer platform by stepping on these five elastic balls.
The difficulty of this level is that the balls are very elastic, and you can easily be bounced off.
But to pass it is actually simple. You just need to find the rhythm and jump directly to the next ball along with the elasticity of the ball. By analogy, you can pass the level by jumping over five balls.
Players who often play on trampolines and other projects will find it particularly easy to pass.
To put it bluntly, this level tests the ability to control the body and coordination.
Yang Chen adjusted his breathing and jumped out directly.
Female host: “Wow! This level still can’t stop him. He jumped over in one breath again.”
Male host: “He’s really here to stock up! This is not difficult for him at all.”
The third level is very simple. There is a big hammer, a big lollipop, and a big circle tied to a big pillar.
These are all plastic props and will not hurt people, but they can knock people into the water.
Players can only successfully enter the next level connection platform by finding the right time to pass through the big circle.
There is only one chance. Once you enter this level but fail to pass through the big circle the first time, you will definitely be knocked out by the big hammer or lollipop behind.
Yang Chen did not rush to pass the level immediately but observed it twice, found the rhythm of the big circle, and immediately rushed over, passing through the big circle with a carp leaping over the dragon gate [a Chinese idiom describing a sudden and dramatic success].
Female host: “Wow! So handsome! Are you sure this is an action that a ride-hailing driver can do?”
Male host: “Why do you look down on ride-hailing drivers? Who stipulates that ride-hailing drivers can’t be athletes?”
The fourth level is called Little Fists Pounding Your Chest.
Because you can get a rice cooker by entering the fifth level, the difficulty of this level has been increased.
There are many holes opened irregularly on a vertical wall, and fists will rhythmically pop out of these holes.
Players must step on a platform only about five centimeters wide and grab the crescent-shaped stones on the wall to pass through the five-meter-long wall to pass the level.
Female host: “You can get a Midea rice cooker if you pass this level.”
Male host: “He is really cautious. Before the start of each level, he will carefully observe to determine the pattern before *chuǎng guān* [taking on a challenge].”
That’s right, Yang Chen is indeed looking for the pattern of the fists popping out.
The fists that hit the body are not a problem. He can stick out his butt to keep his body away from the wall so that he can’t be hit.
The most dangerous are the four holes that can hit the calf. Once the calf is hit by a fist, it will definitely fall into the water.
Yang Chen quickly determined that the interval between the punches in the four holes was about one second.
Then, he immediately jumped up and started to *chuǎng guān* [take on the challenge].
As long as you find the rhythm in this kind of game, you can pass it with your eyes closed.
Female host: “Wow! Passed again! Came to the fifth level, and presented our Midea rice cooker!”
Male host: “Successfully stocked up.”
More and more tourists in the audience area took out their mobile phones to film Yang Chen’s *chuǎng guān* [challenge] process.
The sixth level.
There are six “L”-shaped stairs that swing up and down on the wall. Players need to step on the No. 1 and No. 2 stairs to climb the highest No. 3 stairs, and then use the No. 3 stairs to adjust their body position and find the right time to enter the No. 4 stairs.
The No. 4 staircase not only swings up and down but also flips once every 5 seconds. If you accidentally step on it when it flips, or it happens to flip when you step on it, the player will definitely fall into the water.
After successfully climbing the No. 4 staircase, it is simple. The No. 5 and No. 6 stairs are both downhill. If it doesn’t work, you can jump directly.
Female host: “Can he pass this level?”
Male host: “He started *chuǎng guān* [taking on the challenge]! Oh, he just walked up, without stopping at all.”
Female host: “Wow! Can this game be played like this? His ability to control his body is too strong.”
Male host: “No. 4 is flipping, be careful.”
Female host: “Oh, he just stepped on 456 in one breath. My God, we thought it was a very difficult level, but in his opinion, it is no different from walking on normal stairs.”
Male host: “I also have some doubts about whether he is a ride-hailing driver. He is probably a professional athlete who retired and then became a ride-hailing driver.”
Female host: “Entering the seventh level, he got a Midea pressure cooker. Successfully stocked up again. His friend should be very happy now and has already won two big prizes.”
Xu Xiaowan on the original stand was indeed very happy, smiling and applauding Yang Chen.
Wang Qianni applauded Yang Chen while thinking to herself: “Damn man, you are so desperate to please a *mèi zi* [girl/young woman]. When can you be so desperate to please me?”
At this time, Chen Lijun in the preparation area frowned, feeling panicked.
Looking at Yang Chen like this, it is possible to pass the level.
The seventh and eighth levels are connected together, and there is no connection platform in the middle for players to rest.
Players must first step on 8 wooden stakes from low to high, then jump up and grab the rope, and use inertia to send their bodies to the eighth level area, and grab the *diào huán* [gymnastic rings] in the air, and then pass the eighth level through 8 *diào huán* [gymnastic rings].
Female host: “The seventh and eighth levels are connected together, which is a great test for the players. Many powerful players have been defeated in this level before. I don’t know if this handsome ride-hailing driver can pass the level!”
Male host: “He started *chuǎng guān* [taking on the challenge]! I knew that the wooden stakes were not difficult for him at all. He ran and jumped to grab the rope in one breath, and his body swung over to grab the *diào huán* [gymnastic rings]! Awesome! Done in one go!”
Female host: “Wow! Watching him *chuǎng guān* [take on the challenge] is a pleasure! Other players are slow to find opportunities, but he completes the action in one go. So handsome.”
Male host: “8 *diào huán* [gymnastic rings], test the upper limb strength… Oh, one hand is as simple as walking, without any pause, successfully passed the eighth level! Wow, I want to *bài shī xué yì* [become an apprentice]! My family doesn’t have a refrigerator and air conditioner either, I also want to come to stock up.”
Female host: “Haha… I feel that his physical fitness has become terrifyingly strong. The last two levels are more test of upper limb strength, let’s see if he can pass smoothly.”
The ninth level is extremely difficult, and ordinary people can’t pass it at all.
Players must jump up and grab the 3-meter-high steel bar, and then use the strength of their waist and abdomen to send their bodies up. At the same time, they must pull the steel bar out of the *kǎ kǒu* [slot] and put it into the *kǎ kǒu* [slot] above. After repeating this 5 times, they can grab the rope at a high place, and then use the strength of their waist and abdomen to swing their bodies and use the rope to jump to the next transfer platform.
This level tests not only the strength of the upper limbs but also the strength of the waist and abdomen.
However, for Yang Chen, who is at the peak of human level, this is nothing.
Female host: “Oh, what is he doing? Playing? He went up so easily!”
Male host: “Can our designers see it? The game you designed is too simple. Every time it is done in one go, without any procrastination. Look, we have come to the last level.”
Female host: “The last level is not difficult for him at all.”
The 10th level is also the last level.
Players need to run up on a 1-square-meter transfer platform and then rush to a crescent-shaped wall.
The vertical height of the wall is 5 meters. Players can only use the crescent-shaped wall to jump up and grab the top of the wall, and then climb up with the strength of their upper limbs.
For ordinary players, after the previous levels, the upper limbs are sore when they reach this level, and it is impossible to have enough strength to climb up.
However, for Yang Chen, this is nothing. This amount of exercise is just a warm-up.
At this time, his body is in the best condition, and he can easily pass such a simple level.
Female host: “The run-up distance for this level is limited, let’s see him… Oh, he doesn’t run up at all, he just rushes up! Perfect! Grabbed the top, can he climb up? Let’s give him some encouragement!”
Applause and cheers rang out at the scene.
Wang Qianni and Xu Xiaowan shouted loudly to cheer for Yang Chen.
But Chen Lijun was secretly praying in his heart: “Fall down! Be sure to fall down!”
Yang Chen exerted force with both arms, and the muscle lines were clearly displayed.
With a sudden force, his body climbed up, put his right leg on the platform, successfully reached the top, and rang the gong for the successful challenge.
The onlookers also took pictures of Yang Chen with their mobile phones and cheered for him.
The host next to him came over and handed Yang Chen all the prize redemption cards he had won.
Host: “Handsome guy, congratulations, congratulations. You are really amazing. You are the player with the shortest time in history, only 1 minute and 23 seconds. Among all the players who have successfully challenged before, the shortest time is 4 minutes and 36 seconds. I want to ask on behalf of all the audience, are you really a ride-hailing driver?”
Yang Chen nodded and said, “Yes, I am indeed a ride-hailing driver.”
Host: “Then how can you be so good?”
Yang Chen: “Usually exercise more. And I also have friends cheering for me on the scene, maybe there is a Buff bonus [a temporary increase in a character’s statistics or abilities].”
Host: “Haha… I heard you are here to stock up?”
Yang Chen: “Yes! My friend just moved into a new apartment, and he happens to be short of a refrigerator and air conditioner. I saw that you have them here, so I came to participate in the game to stock up and exercise my muscles and bones.”
Host: “Brother, don’t say that. If you say that, I will feel that I am a waste. You have succeeded in such a difficult game as if you were playing. However, I still want to congratulate you. Please come this way.”
Yang Chen nodded and quickly stepped back.
Next, it’s Chen Lijun’s turn to play.
With an order from the host, Chen Lijun rushed out.
In the first level of Death Roll, when he stepped on the fourth roller, his right foot slipped along the roller, and then the whole person fell into the water.
He couldn’t even pass the first level, not to mention being embarrassed, he also drank two mouthfuls of water, and water also entered his nose.
Wang Qianni laughed and shouted, “Chen Lijun, is that all you’ve got? So embarrassing!”
The onlookers also laughed and took pictures of his embarrassed appearance with their mobile phones.
Chen Lijun pushed away the staff who came to protect his safety and swam up angrily.
When Yang Chen *rào yī dà quān* [went around a big circle] came back, Chen Lijun happened to go up too.
Yang Chen said with a smile: “Yo, that’s fast! Ending the battle in one second? I am willing to admit that you are the fastest man in the world.”
Chen Lijun was only concerned with wringing out his clothes and did not answer.
Many onlookers came to watch the excitement, taking pictures of Yang Chen and the prize redemption cards in his hand with their mobile phones.
Xu Xiaowan rushed up happily and hugged Yang Chen, saying, “Yang Chen, you are so amazing! I really didn’t see that you have become so good after graduation, much better than when you were in school.”
Yang Chen smiled and handed all the prize redemption cards in his hand to Xu Xiaowan, saying, “These are all for you.”
“That’s too embarrassing, these are all prizes you worked hard for,” Xu Xiaowan said with a smile.
“My family doesn’t need these things either. Take it, it was agreed that it was a prize won for you, they only belong to you,” Yang Chen said.
Xu Xiaowan tiptoed and kissed Yang Chen on the face and said shyly, “Thank you.”
Then she lowered her head and accepted the prize redemption cards.
The onlookers next to him laughed, making Yang Chen shy.
Wang Qianni immediately stepped forward and questioned: “No, you can accept it, but why kiss him? So you *pīn* [risked/staked] came the prize for you, and you have to take advantage of it!”
Xu Xiaowan looked at Wang Qianni inexplicably and replied: “This is my gratitude to him, why are you so excited?”
“I… I’m not excited about anything! I’m just standing up for him. In broad daylight, you are molesting him like this, which is wrong,” Wang Qianni said.
“What molestation? Can you speak properly? Baffling,” Xu Xiaowan said angrily.
The onlookers next to him started eating *guā* [gossiping].
“It seems that both of them like him!”
“Who doesn’t like such a handsome and strong man? I like him too.”
“I really envy this guy, he is a winner in life. He is handsome, has a good body, and has many *mèi zi* [girls/young women]. I can laugh in my dreams if I can get one of these advantages, but he has several at once.”
“Didn’t it say that God will open a door for you, and he will definitely close a window for you? Why do I always feel that all the doors a man can open have been opened by him? This is too unfair.”
……
Chen Lijun wiped the water from his face and said to Yang Chen: “This kind of low-level project is not interesting at all, what’s so proud of.”
Yang Chen chuckled and said, “The project is low-level, I gave you a chance, but you are not up to it. The grievances between us are cleared. If you continue to pester me, then I will not have the patience to deal with you.”
“Damn! Who are you scaring? What can you do if you don’t have patience? Hit me? Come on, let’s see who hits who. Come on!” Chen Lijun said arrogantly.
At this time, Wang Zijun spoke, saying: “Chen Lijun, if you want to fight, let’s make an appointment tonight. He is my sister’s friend and also the benefactor of our Wang family. If you dare to touch him, I will be on the news, and you will be removed from the household registration!”
