Chapter 382: Chapter 382

Li Jing didn’t speak, his right hand reaching again for the second pot.

Compared to the first pot, the second pot was noticeably heavier, roughly weighing thirty pounds.

This weight was already quite difficult for a woman.

After all, it’s not about lifting an object of thirty pounds, but rather using just five fingers to grip the pot’s edge, relying on finger strength, which makes it difficult to exert force, with a small contact area, much more challenging compared to normally holding something.

However, this was still very easy for Li Jing. The scar-faced man, seeing Li Jing finish the second pot challenge without breaking a sweat, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes but still kept his promise to prepare to pay Li Jing the bonus.

But Li Jing didn’t want it, instead handing over ten bucks to the other side: "Counting the ninety from the previous bonus, I’ll add ten more to challenge the third pot."

The original prize for the third pot challenge was fifty, which doubled to a hundred, and the bonus tripled from one fifty to four hundred fifty bucks.

Seeing Li Jing take on the third challenge voluntarily, the scar-faced man laughed heartily, immediately saying: "Good, good, good, seems the boss has some strength after all."

Upon picking up the third pot, Li Jing clearly noticed this pot was much heavier, the difficulty level rising sharply, likely around eighty pounds.

No wonder the previous gym guy couldn’t lift it. It’s not just him; Li Jing figured even professional athletes would find it hard to lift such a heavy object using only finger strength on the narrow edge of the pot’s mouth. This demanded extremely high finger strength.

Of course, although the difficulty is high, it’s still not a problem for Li Jing.

Li Jing’s face showed a slight seriousness, and with a sudden force, the third pot, which had never been moved before, slowly lifted in his hand,

Beside him, Sophie’s eyes widened, intently watching Li Jing’s right hand, cheering excitedly: "Go! Go!"

The surrounding passersby couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise when they saw Li Jing pick up the pot.

The scar-faced man, seeing Li Jing actually lift the third pot, had a flash of shock on his face but quickly concealed it, smiling: "Boss, you’re not an average person; this is the first time anyone has successfully challenged this pot since I started my stall."

After putting down the pot, Li Jing smiled slightly, without explaining, and simply extended his hand: "Boss, can I get the four hundred fifty bonus now?"

Upon hearing this, the scar-faced man’s expression changed slightly, then he smiled and spoke: "Boss, don’t rush, there’s still the fourth pot. The original reward for the fourth pot was a thousand, tripled it would be three thousand.

Boss, you’re so impressive; this is a great chance, winning three thousand would cover your round-trip flight for this trip."

The people around also eagerly awaited Li Jing to win the three thousand. After all, this boss had never lost since setting up his stall, and everyone wanted to see him lose.

As a tourist and passerby, Li Jing naturally aligned himself with the crowd around him.

Sophie, full of excitement, instinctively grabbed Li Jing’s arm, delightfully saying: "You’re amazing, why not give the fourth pot a try? It’s tripled, three thousand is no small amount!"

Facing everyone’s anticipation and enthusiasm, Li Jing remained calm and continued telling the scar-faced man: "I’m done playing, please give me the bonus for the third pot."

The others didn’t know, but Li Jing understood there was something wrong with the fourth pot. No matter how strong he was, it would be impossible to pick up.

This was the confidence that allowed the scar-faced man to set up the stall.

Although the opponent’s bonus was tripled, seemingly a lot, his challenge money would also need to be doubled, requiring five hundred for the fourth pot challenge.

In this way, if Li Jing lost on the fourth pot, it would be like returning all previously won money and losing more, while also bringing in crowds and providing free advertising for the opponent.

As Li Jing succeeded in the third pot challenge, more and more people gathered to watch.

The scar-faced man continued to smile: "Boss, you see everyone wants you to challenge the fourth pot; how unfortunate not to try.

Rest assured, as long as you succeed, I’ll make sure you get the money, and if I don’t, you can send me straight to the police."

Looking at the other man’s smiling face, Li Jing chuckled coldly inside.

Forget three thousand; he had already won four hundred fifty and had asked for it twice without any sign that this person intended to pay.

Although Li Jing wasn’t short of money, the money he earned by the rules he must get.

It’s not about the amount but about the principle. Otherwise, without principle, anyone can bully you, even if you have money. This update ıs available on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥

So Li Jing had no intention of trying again and calmly spoke once more:

"I have other things to do, I need to go, so please give me the four hundred fifty."
