Chapter 42: Ga Rewards
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Wang Yan went through his list of classmates but didn’t find anyone he deed suitable.
There was a jock in the neighboring class who was capable of eating a lot, but they weren’t well-acquainted with each other.
He had no choice but to pass on the idea of asking his schoolmates.
See, the problem was that Wang Yan couldn’t ask people who weren’t close to him, but he couldn’t exactly ask people who were close to him, either. It would be too much of a hassle having to explain where all that money ca from.
After thinking long and hard, he had a sudden flash of inspiration.
The people who published eating videos on Bilibili seed to be able to eat a lot!
Now that Wang Yan had an idea, he could barely keep still. He quickly called for a cab and headed to his rental apartnt, where he picked up his Alienware laptop.
Doing a quick search on Bilibili, he managed to dig out loads of eating videos featuring big eaters.
Wang Yan randomly clicked on a video of a petite-looking Japanese girl who was attempting to finish a pile of burgers.
Halfway through the video, he was practically gaping at the screen.
‘Damn. Who would believe that a girl who barely weighed 90 pounds would be able to finish more than 60 burgers in a sitting?’
At any rate, Wang Yan was having difficulty believing what he was seeing. He was only convinced after scrolling through the barrage of comnts and repeatedly reading them.
YES!
That was exactly the kind of eater he was looking for!
However, Japan was too far away and he didn’t speak Japanese, so that was out of question. Hence, Wang Yan started looking for big eaters locally instead.
Unfortunately, eating competitions were mostly held in Japan and Arica, uncommon locally.
As for eating broadcasts, they were still lagging behind other countries. There was currently only one program online with 70-odd episodes called “Huaxia Eating Broadcast is Here!”
Wang Yan looked at a few more videos and realized that each episode focused on a certain food voted by the netizens. There weren’t really any super big eaters.
Or at least, he hadn’t co across any on the sa level as the Japanese girl, even after perusing ten episodes.
The girl in the first episode finished seven bowls of noodles in five minutes, and the girl in episode nine ate about five pounds worth of food and was one of the better eaters, but she was nothing compared to the super big eaters who were able to gobble down 15 to 17 pounds of food.
There was no room for comparison…
Wang Yan wished he could fly to Japan right away to gather the top seven contestants of the eating competition, then organize a crab-eating competition of his own.
But too bad for him, it was virtually impossible, since he had no ans of contacting them.
He decided to settle for the next best option. After finding the organizer of “Huaxia Eating Broadcast is Here!” on Weibo, he sent a direct ssage to soone called “iren Dingzhi miki.”
“I would like to organize a large-scale eating broadcast with you. To be precise, it would be a king crab eating competition, and I will be sponsoring the crabs. If you are interested, please contact at 138-943-8*48.”
The unusual cell phone number belonged to Wang Yan. Though it grated on the ears, it was extrely easy to rember.
After sending the private ssage, Wang Yan didn’t waste any ti waiting.
He found a news article online about the 5.17 Food Festival and suddenly had an idea.
As the organizer of the food festival, surely they would have access to the contact information of many big eaters?
He would get in touch with them tomorrow as a back-up plan!
All that was left was to wait, since there wasn’t much else Wang Yan could do.
Had there been a suitable public platform for promoting directly to big eaters, Wang Yan wouldn’t have minded spending tens of thousands on setting up a page exclusively for promotion, then waiting for people to co forward and sign up.
But since that wasn’t feasible, Wang Yan didn’t want to brood on it anymore. He rubbed his palms in glee as he got ready to use his Alienware laptop properly for the first ti.
A gaming laptop!
A fifteen-inch Alienware laptop!
After purchasing the laptop, he had yet to play a single ga on it. Unbelievable.
He was going to get started!
The most popular ga of 2020 had to be none other than League of Legends.
Because of the college entrance exams, Wang Yan hadn’t been playing for the past year or so. As such, he was no longer familiar with the rankings, and was kind of disoriented when he started picking up the ga again.
Xiaoxueseng, Ertongjie, and Tuoersuo were way too good for him and his team, and his screen practically exploded.
In his frustration, Wang Yan pressed Alt F4 in a bid to exit the ga.
‘Damn it!
‘I may not be good at the ga, but I have money!’
The lousy ga didn’t favor Chinese players at all. It was ti to switch, switch, switch!
He started searching online which online gas had the most girls.
Based on the search results, Wang Yan then started looking for gas in which players spent a lot of money.
He happened to co across a ranking for gars who were big spenders and clicked on the link to check it out.
Number ten on the list was QQ Xiyou, ID: song, perfu. The estimated amount of money spent on the ga was fifteen million.
Looking at just one of those rankings was enough to stun Wang Yan.
‘F*cking hell! Seriously?
What was in these rich people’s heads?
Spending fifteen million on a ga?!
After taking a look at the top three, he was at a loss for words.
LLLLLLLL, Taifen, and King had spent billions on their gas.
Wang Yan seriously suspected that those people had been hired by the gaming companies, but then he ca across news articles describing how 8L had forced SNDA to change the level restrictions.
Soone hired by the company couldn’t possibly challenge their own company, and intentionally disrupt the ga balance. Therefore, it ant that as early as ten years ago, 8L had already been spending a billion on the ga.
What a baller!
His spending had to be real, give or take so. It was no wonder then, that the Chinese gaming market was worth hundreds of billions each year!
Wang Yan had completely forgotten how he himself was a baller among ballers.
Instead, he decided to give up on gas completely.
‘Why play gas?!
‘You know what they say, riding a hobby saps one’s will to make progress!’
He ought to be studying hard instead!
As for the two percent Crit Reward… Sigh, it was too good to waste, wasn’t it?
Never mind, never mind then. He would continue playing League.
Wang Yan was left with no choice but to eat his words. Launching his League of Legends ga again, he made a top-up of 10,000 dollars.
He was no good at team fighting, farming, or gang killing.
How about skins then?
He decided to try his luck with the lucky draws.
[Congratulations, you have just received a Guan Yu skin.]
[Congratulations, you have just received a Mantis skin.]
[Congratulations…]
After a few hundred draws, just as Wang Yan was about to lose his patience, sothing vastly different finally appeared.
[Congratulations on activating a Chance Reward. You have just received a Li Qinglong (real-life) skin.]
Eh?
He had just received a Crit Reward?
How tily. It had appeared just as he was grumbling. The few hundred draws hadn’t gone to waste after all!
Wang Yan was ecstatic and couldn’t wait to check out the explanation.
Equipnt Effect:
1. High Jumps: Jump height increased by a foot (effect disappears when you change skins)
2. Dragon Leg: Your legs will be re-sculpted, your calves and thighs will beco perfectly proportioned, and your leg muscles will be shaped impeccably (permanent effect)
Damn, that was aweso!
Although his overall height wouldn’t increase, and the change in proportions applied only to the legs, that alone would greatly enhance Wang Yan’s physical appearance.
Wang Yan’s calves weren’t quite straight, and his legs and thighs were about the sa length. Although his legs didn’t exactly look awful, they didn’t look too great, either.
Wang Yan had never paid much attention to them in the past. After all, n shouldn’t spend that much ti looking in the mirror and feeling bad about themselves.
But then again, who minded improving their physical appearance?
Wang Yan excitedly put on the skin and watched as his legs wiggled and reshaped, as if they were made of plastic.
His calves beca long and straight, and both his thigh and calf muscles had beco toned and defined. When he applied a little force, he could feel a surge of energy underneath his skin.
Nice!
Wang Yan could tell that his lines were beautiful even if he had never learned how to draw, and he wasn’t sure whether it was an illusion, but his legs felt stronger than ever.
Wang Yan subconsciously lifted his leg and extended it. To his shock, he ended up kicking as high as his forehead.
Dang!
It appeared that he had acquired yet another amazing skill!
Wang Yan’s eyes widened in wondernt as he managed to execute a split with little effort. He could feel how cool the floor was as his legs made contact with it.
It was a strange sensation, and he didn’t know what to make of this latest developnt.
Splits were wonderful when executed by girls because there was much do with them.
But what good would it be for a guy?On second thoughts, though, it was pretty cool to be able to replicate Blind Monk Li Qing’s classic move, “the dragon wags its tail,” in real life…
