Chapter 449 Challenge Successful
The table was quickly cleared, and Zhang Wei walked onto the platform under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
Soon, his noodles were served.
A large bowl, bright red with almost no visible powder, was steaming hot.
The waiter carried the bowl past Lu Youyou, which made her nose itch and caused her to sneeze continuously.
Looking at Zhang Wei, who was equally stunned, Lu Youyou had a bad feeling.
The noodles were hot, spicy, and pungent, and with a large clump of noodles inside, Zhang Wei found it difficult to finish them in five minutes.
"Oh ho, it's over."
Cui Qi shrugged and said pessimistically, "Zhang Wei, take your time eating. You're definitely going to pay the 15 Ghost Coins."
Zhang Wei gritted his teeth: "Whose side are you on anyway? Not only are you not encouraging me, but you're also giving me a discouragement!"
Zhang Heng raised her arm and waved: "Go Zhang Wei! Go Zhang Wei!"
Her twin ponytails swayed with the movement of her body, the strands of hair floating like seaweed.
Her energy was infectious, and more and more people began to cheer on this unfortunate girl.
"Timing begins!"
At the waiter's signal, Zhang Wei picked up his chopsticks and scooped up a thin scoop of rice noodles.
He had thought it through. Since the noodles were both spicy and hot, he would eat smaller portions each time and eat them faster, and he would still be able to finish them.
He simply underestimated the spiciness of the chili peppers in the Survival World.
These chilies are different from the ones he used when he was a blogger; they're incredibly spicy.
The moment the powder entered his mouth, his mouth turned into a steamer, steaming the soft flesh and tongue inside.
"Cough cough cough cough!"
Before he could even swallow the powder, he started coughing uncontrollably.
Tears and saliva dripped uncontrollably onto the ground, the spiciness sending his soul soaring to heaven.
Lu Youyou's face was contorted, as if she herself had been tormented by the act.
A minute and a half had passed, and Zhang Wei had only taken one bite of the noodles in his bowl.
Knowing that time was running out, Lu Youyou decided to reassure Zhang Wei.
"Eat slowly, don't choke."
Zhang Wei keenly caught Lu Youyou's voice, wiped away the tears welling up in his eyes, and saw Lu Youyou's worried face.
Suddenly, his vision went blurry again.
The spiciness that had been rising before brought tears to his eyes once again.
No!
He can't be this useless!
It's just super spicy noodles, it won't kill you if you eat it!
You can't act so effeminate and make people look down on you!
Thinking of this, Zhang Wei picked up a large mouthful of noodles and stuffed it into his mouth.
His rugged appearance was exactly the same as the two challengers that Lu Youyou and her group saw when they first went upstairs.
One mouthful of noodles, swallowed whole before I could even chew it properly.
In less than half a minute, Zhang Wei's face was red and swollen, looking like a pig's head that had been stung by a poisonous insect.
His mouth was completely numb, like a robot that only knew how to swallow.
The atmosphere was stirred up, and the cheers were deafening, like a tidal wave.
Time passed second by second, and Lu Youyou went from having no hope to being full of anticipation.
Zhang Wei had adapted to the spiciness and was eating faster and faster.
"10, 9, 8..."
The waiter held a stopwatch and loudly announced the countdown.
"vomit!"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Wei suddenly vomited, even though there was only one last bite of noodles left in his bowl.
Everyone held their breath, lamenting that the unlucky guy had failed at the last step.
To everyone's surprise, Zhang Wei straightened up, pinched his nose, and ate the last bite of noodles.
Then cover your mouth with both hands to prevent yourself from vomiting on the high platform.
The waiter was quite surprised and glanced at Cui Qi, who nodded and smiled at him.
"Congratulations to the challenger for successfully completing the challenge! You've been rewarded with 10 Ghost Coins. Delicious! Come again next time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Wei found 10 Ghost Coins in his pocket, and he couldn't hold back any longer, so he vomited profusely on the platform.
Lu Youyou stepped forward with a mid-level all-purpose pill, dissolved it in a glass of warm water, and handed it to Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei picked up the cup, tilted his head back and drank it all. The redness and swelling on his face subsided completely, and his swollen tongue returned to normal.
"Ha, I did it!"
Overjoyed, he jumped off the platform and excitedly walked around the building.
Zhang Heng nudged Lu Youyou's arm, unexpectedly clinging to her: "Big sister, I need to go to the bathroom, will you come with me?"
Lu Youyou's smile remained unchanged, pretending not to notice her strangeness: "Let's go, I also need to use the restroom."
In the restroom, Zhang Heng truthfully told Lu Youyou everything she had seen.
“I noticed that the waiter kept looking at Cui Qi, as if he was a little afraid of him, or as if he was following Cui Qi’s orders.”
“Cui Qi…didn’t you say he was a confidant of King You? It’s not surprising that the waiter is afraid of him.”
"That's true, but I just feel a little strange."
In fact, Lu Youyou felt the same way. Putting aside the fact that Zhang Wei didn't swallow the last bite of noodles, the noodles he spat out at the beginning didn't count as finishing all the noodles.
He was not supposed to get the reward, but he still got 10 Ghost Coins.
She definitely wouldn't have believed it if Cui Qi hadn't stirred things up.
But if Cui Qi can order the waiters around, why did he ask them to serve such difficult-to-make noodles?
Before they arrived, the two challengers in the competition didn't have that many chilies in their bowls.
Cui Qi was conflicted; it felt like he was both holding them back and helping them.
"Let's take it one step at a time. Hopefully, Cui Qi really wants to save the master. Besides, we've come to the Ghost Mansion, so there's no turning back now, is there?"
Zhang Heng nodded with a worried expression.
The watch in her pocket suddenly went off, and Lu Youyou opened the toilet stall door and went inside.
"Zhang Heng, you can go out now. I really need to use the restroom."
"it is good."
After Zhang Heng left, Lu Youyou took out the black wax eyeball to unlock her phone.
[Grave Guardian Ghost 1: Boss, Lu Youyou has entered the Ghost Mansion! I saw her on the fourth floor! Didn't that person help?]
[Wei Tianning: What? How did she know that old bastard was in the Ghost Mansion? And that damned guy even went to the fourth floor!]
[Grave Guardian Ghost 1: Boss, hurry up! I'm worried she'll climb the ranks even faster!]
[Wei Tianning: But I haven't successfully deployed here yet! Forget it, I'll go to the Ghost Mansion. No matter how powerful they are elsewhere, they can't kill Lu Youyou unless she comes out. We can't let her find the adults.]
[Grave Guardian Ghost 1: I'm in the Ghost Mansion, keeping a close eye on Lu Youyou and keeping you updated.]
After their conversation ended, Lu Youyou had a feeling that Wei Tianning would question the strange account.
She found "w", clicked on the chat, and sure enough, she saw the message sent by Wei Tianning, but the other party did not reply.
[Wei Tianning: Didn't you say to follow the plan? What exactly did you do? Why did Lu Youyou still manage to enter the Ghost Mansion?!]
Lu Youyou waited in the restroom for at least ten minutes before receiving a reply from the other end.
[w: Sorry, I was injured recently and have been in a dormant state from time to time, so I can't always reply to messages promptly.]
[Wei Tianning: Why the hell didn't you say so sooner? Who could possibly hurt you? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have needed this plan!]
[w: I'm so sorry.]
What followed was Wei Tianning's endless stream of profanities.
w didn't reply to any of them. I don't know if they're annoyed or have gone into hibernation again.
