Chapter 805: Chapter 805
The broadcast played three times in a row.
Teams clad in white chef coats and white hats entered the stadium with food carts along the corridor and began to set up the arena.
More than twenty cameras were set up, even utilizing lifting arms to ensure that the most exciting moments of the big challenge were captured from every angle.
Kim Myungjin poked Hua Yue Yu with her finger, "You should be good at this, right?"
Hua Yue Yu looked at the food carts pushed by the chefs, covered with silver lids, completely obscuring the contents.
But the Little Merperson was not at all flustered.
"I can take on this challenge,"
Hua Yue Yu patted her stomach, "My appetite is quite good!"
Because the nation advocated for conserving food, the format of ’Big Eater’ live broadcasts had long vanished, leaving behind only food exploring or tasting some weird foods. Eating irresponsibly was not allowed.
Since most big eaters would find an opportunity to induce vomiting, after all, the physiological makeup of humans decided that it’s impossible to consume that much food.
"The prize is one thousand God Coins. Both of our teams will compete, but it doesn’t matter who wins, as long as we can get it, perfect!"
Xia Hongyao was very happy.
Gu Qingqiu guessed that Lin Baici would participate in the big challenge, but hadn’t notified him since he planned to have the two teams compete to guarantee a safety net.
The food carts were lined up in rows, thirty per row, totaling fifteen columns!
Judges donning yellow vests, red hats, and whistles around their necks entered the field, pairing up next to a food cart.
They also held a small red flag in their hands.
"The first battle, begin!"
"Please each team, within one minute, choose a food cart!"
"Those who fail to choose, eliminated!"
The broadcast sounded.
The contestants immediately sprang into action.
Xia Hongyao was used to relying on Lin Baici, instinctively turned her head to ask him, while Gu Qingqiu surveyed the surroundings and already started walking.
One’s fate, of course, must be decided by oneself!
Gu Qingqiu patted a food cart.
"I think we should listen to Little Linzi!"
Xia Hongyao frowned, "His luck has always been good!"
"Are you referring to the fact that in the half-year since you two met, you’ve encountered the God’s ruins at least three times?"
She had learned about their experiences after they met from High Ponytail; one of them was definitely Disaster Star Level.
The kind that even Lady Luck might avoid, fearing bad luck.
Li Yintong and others were shocked when they heard this.
Three God’s ruins in half a year?
What kind of Sky God descended to Earth?
"God Lin, how do we choose?"
Quan Sangin established his position, simply the underling.
"Lady Boss, what do you think?"
The food carts all looked the same, and Eater God didn’t comment, so Lin Baici didn’t mind and decided to respect Han Suying’s suggestion.
Han Suying hesitated, unsure whether the food under the lids was the same or not.
One minute passed quickly, and the countdown sounded.
"Lady Boss, quickly!"
Han Suying looked around, pointed her hand, "Choose that one!"
Huang Jinxiang called out to everyone.
The one Lady Boss pointed to was the fifth one to the left from where Gu Qingqiu started.
Half of the teams made their choice just before the countdown ended.
"Please each team send one person, within twenty minutes, to finish all the food on the cart!"
"Those who don’t finish, eliminated!"
After the broadcast finished, there was a beep sound, and giant digital scoreboards on the east and west sides of the stadium displayed a timer.
Gu Qingqiu immediately looked at the judge, "Can we look at the food first before selecting a contestant?"
Gu Qingqiu immediately lifted the cover.
On the round silver platter was a large piece of raw meat, lean with little fat, and still smeared with fresh blood, looking like it was freshly cut from some animal.
Kim Jinsoo observed the texture of the raw meat.
"Dammit, this is probably about five pounds, and we’re supposed to gnaw on it raw?"
Li Yintong was overwhelmed.
The contestants’ faces paled; many could not finish five pounds of cooked meat, let alone untreated raw meat.
If it touches someone with a strong sense of cleanliness, they probably couldn’t even swallow it.
Quan Sangin was slightly panicked.
"Captain Quan, perhaps you work hard to eat it?"
Huang Jinxiang laughed.
Quan Sangin showed a difficult expression.
[The meat cut from an animal contaminated by God’s bones will contaminate the eater after consumption!]
[Eating a large amount of blowfish meat can purify this contamination!]
[Otherwise, within a few hours, the eater will go insane!]
Lin Baici was speechless. Wasn’t this supposed to be a variety show?
How did it turn into a rule contamination?
Or was it a management mistake, and only the meat in some carts was problematic?
Han Suying, who owned a restaurant and whose grandfather was a chef, knew a lot about cooking. She frowned upon seeing the ingredients.
"Referee, there’s a problem with these ingredients; it’s mad cow meat!"
Han Suying quickly reported, she saw some contestants, in order to save time, had already started eating.
The middle-aged referee looked at Han Suying. "So, are you going to eat, or do you want to withdraw from the competition?"
Everyone was stunned.
"You bastard, did you intentionally give the contestants problematic meat?"
Huang Jinxiang was furious, wanting to overturn the food cart.
"If you’re not eating, please leave!"
The middle-aged referee was expressionless.
After Kim Myungjin got the situation clear from the Lady Boss, she immediately ran over to Xia Hongyao to inform them.
"What if it kills someone?"
Quan Sangin questioned.
"Every contestant has signed a waiver of liability for death!"
The referee explained.
Kim Jinsoo was furious.
The referee no longer explained. When the time was up, those who didn’t finish eating would be eliminated.
"God Lin, what should we do?"
Quan Sangin looked worried.
"What will happen if we eat this diseased beef?"
Kin Myungjin’s question made everyone look towards the Lady Boss.
Han Suying explained, "There was an incident before where a restaurant mistakenly used this type of beef, causing a big chaos."
"How about withdrawing from the competition?"
Kim Jinsoo timidly suggested.
"Withdraw from what? As long as you finish eating, you’ll pass. Why not sacrifice one person?"
Huang Jinxiang snorted indifferently, as he certainly wouldn’t be the sacrifice.
The faces of Quan Sangin and Kim Jinsoo immediately turned ugly.
Because no matter how they thought about it, they were likely to be the unlucky ones. Content originally comes from novel·fire·net
Thus, they both looked towards the Lady Boss’s two employees.
The two people both lowered their heads.
No one wanted to die.
Li Yintong asked, which was most crucial.
The Lady Boss took a deep breath, "I’ll eat it!"
Li Yintong was worried; the Lady Boss’s physique didn’t look like one of a big eater.
Han Suying prepared to enter the area.
"Oppa, Yi Jisheng has started eating the meat!"
Kim Myungjin suddenly pulled Lin Baici.
Lin Baici turned his head and saw Yi Jisheng, holding a doll with one hand, not cutting the meat, but directly grabbing it with his right hand and tearing at it with his teeth as if gnawing on a pancake.
Huang Jinxiang and the others were startled; did he need to be so aggressive?
Lin Baici wasn’t worried, because Yi Jisheng was a human model, so it wouldn’t be contaminated.
It wouldn’t go mad even if it wanted to.
[This meat is rich in heme iron, which can make bones stronger. If consumed in large quantities, it can cause the already halted development of bones to continue growing!]
[The problem is, after growing a few centimeters, you will go mad unless it is eaten in conjunction with pufferfish meat!]
[As the king at the top of the food chain, you can completely digest this meat without being contaminated!]
The Lady Boss had already reached the food cart; wanting to save time, she planned to gnaw on it directly, but the chunks were too large and she simply couldn’t do it.
No choice but to take out a kitchen knife and start cutting the meat.
"Can others help cut the meat?"
Huang Jinxiang asked the referee.
"Lady Boss, let me help you cut the meat!"
Li Yintong immediately dashed over, flicked her right hand, and her Butterfly Knife opened, casually making a few cuts and sliced off more than a dozen pieces.
All about the size of peanuts.
Han Suying picked up a piece and was about to eat it when Lin Baici caught her wrist.
Lin Baici pinched a piece of meat and tossed it into his mouth.
As his teeth chewed, a metallic taste immediately filled his mouth.
That’s why, the use of fire represents the progress of civilization; humans no longer need to eat raw bloodied meat.
Speaking of which, how do some foreigners manage to swallow a medium-rare steak?
Lin Baici’s eating shocked everyone, even Xia Hongyao’s side heard the commotion. When they saw Lin Baici eating the meat, they all rushed over.
"Xiao Bai, why did you join in?"
Hua Yue Yu was frantic; wasn’t the meat said to be problematic?
"What are you doing?"
Gu Qingqiu frowned; Lin Baici wasn’t an impulsive person. By doing this, could it be that he had a backup plan?
"Xiao Bai, let me eat!"
Hua Yue Yu tried to snatch the meat in Lin Baici’s hand, ready to sacrifice herself.
"Stop it, I’ll be fine!"
Lin Baici reassured everyone, "Yintong, keep cutting!"
Tai Mei was speechless; with cannon fodder available, why not use it?
Lin Baici gestured for Tai Mei to continue cutting. Although he was already tall, his goal in eating the meat wasn’t to become taller, but to have his bones grow stronger and avoid fractures.
He had a high school classmate who, right before the college entrance exams, broke his right ankle while playing soccer. Even though he entered the examination hall in a wheelchair, his performance was miserable.
Lin Baici raised his right hand to signal everyone to stop talking, while his right hand continued to pop the meat bits into his mouth.
He looked around the food carts, pondering whether to take some meat home. As long as he could find some pufferfish to eat with it, he could grow taller.
If the effect was good, he wondered if a pound of meat priced at ten million yuan would still find buyers?
Over at Xia Qila’s side, a Caucasian overweight man was eating the meat.
He usually liked eating various raw meats and raw fruits and vegetables, believing it was healthy, so five pounds of raw meat was no problem for him.
But the first one to finish was a woman.
When she pressed the red button on the food cart, the plate raised a small flag in her hand, and the gymnasium’s electronic screen immediately displayed her portrait.
