Chapter 336 - 334: Three Winners
"Thank you!"
Although Lin Kaifeng was embarrassed, in this situation, it was clear that someone had helped him, and he couldn’t just give them a cold shoulder.
"You’re welcome, be careful."
Chen Tianlong said indifferently, continuing to climb upward, and this time Lin Kaifeng wasn’t as arrogant, carefully and cautiously making his way up.
Suddenly, with a swoosh, two team members on either side also fell out, leaving only Wu Mengting, Chen Tianlong, and Lin Kaifeng still climbing.
"Wow!"
Seeing this scene, everyone was surprised. Even though they had safety ropes attached, seeing the sudden drop still startled everyone.
Wu Mengting, on the side, almost lost her grip, but with Chen Tianlong’s help, she managed to steady herself.
"Mengting, you have to follow my instructions later." Chen Tianlong urgently said to Wu Mengting beside him.
Wu Mengting nodded vigorously. Watching one team member after another fall, she was losing her confidence. She felt like the footholds beneath her could slip at any moment, causing her to fall.
The two of them quickly reached the danger zone, just three meters from the top.
Sure enough, at this moment, the boss started looking at his buddy, who was getting ready with his hands in his pockets, ready to create some trouble.
Just as Chen Tianlong was about to step on the tampered foothold, he quickly withdrew his foot and deliberately said to Wu Mengting, "Mengting, stay there for a moment. Let me go up one step first, and then I’ll tell you how to climb!"
"Oh, okay."
Wu Mengting didn’t know what Chen Tianlong was up to, but she obediently followed his instruction and didn’t move forward.
Lin Kaifeng was taken aback and decided to stop as well. He had slipped at that height earlier, and from his climbing experience, there shouldn’t have been any problem with the way he climbed. Yet, he slipped.
Chen Tianlong realized what was happening and noticed that the foothold quickly contracted and then slowly reappeared.
Thinking for a moment, Chen Tianlong stepped onto a higher level. It was a highly difficult move that children should not imitate. At this point, Chen Tianlong was almost doing a full split, leaving everyone around speechless.
Both Wu Mengting and Lin Kaifeng, directly below and on either side, were wide-eyed, not knowing what Chen Tianlong was up to. Wasn’t there a foothold? Why didn’t he step on it and opted for a full split instead?
The next moment, Lin Kaifeng figured it out.
Damn!
So that’s where the problem was. No wonder he slipped right after stepping on it earlier.
After cursing in his heart, Lin Kaifeng didn’t reveal it. After all, that young guy could go up like this too. As someone who loves challenges, if he couldn’t overcome even this, how could he claim to be part of the Lin Family?
"What’s that young guy doing? Acrobatics?"
"No idea, maybe he just doesn’t take the usual path."
"Wow, this climbing competition is better than a TV show. Not only is there climbing, but acrobatics too, ha ha..."
The spectators stirred up a hullabaloo, thinking Chen Tianlong was intentionally performing up there, so they weren’t too worried about him.
Right in front of the spectators, two administrators looked grim. They hadn’t expected Chen Tianlong to use such a move, directly bypassing their danger zone.
If he could make it up using the full split, they were out of ideas. The boss kept his eyes on him, while the young guy forgot about his controller.
Amid the crowd’s murmur, Chen Tianlong used force and went up directly.
"Wow! Incredible, his leg strength is solid."
"Exactly, what a pro!"
Seeing Chen Tianlong’s astonishing move, the crowd was full of praise. Everyone thought Chen Tianlong’s skill was really impressive. If he came down at that moment with a tray to collect money, he would probably make a lot.
The two small bosses and the burly man in charge of climbing safety were wide-eyed in disbelief; someone actually bypassed the danger zone.
This meant they would lose a big prize worth 388 yuan! This was a huge financial blow; after a morning of business, everything would be taken by someone else, leaving them quite gloomy.
But just then, Chen Tianlong came down again, returning from a distance, leaving everyone confused.
"Is this guy having fun? Why did he go back after finally getting up?"
"I’m not sure, but it seems the one below might be his girlfriend. Maybe he’s going back to bring her up with him."
The boss nearby almost kneeled in shock upon hearing this.
Oh my!
He’s coming back for another one? That would mean losing two stuffed toys, which would be a big loss.
As the boss contemplated this, the crowd suddenly roared in astonishment.
Looking up quickly, he saw the young guy holding a girl’s hand, letting her step on his body, bum, and shoulders, and then she climbed up first.
Oh my!
This is possible?
Watching Wu Mengting reach the top, Chen Tianlong sighed in relief and climbed another step. The remaining meter was ridiculously easy, and in no time, he was at the top as well.
The crowd quickly applauded. Finally, two people had made it to the top, breaking the ice and winning the big prize, boosting everyone’s confidence a bit.
Although not sure what the reason was, this indicates that reaching the top is possible.
As applause died down, another figure appeared at the peak.
"Wow!"
Everyone was dumbfounded. The man who almost slipped earlier had also made it up. Did this mean all three won the grand prize?
This is maddening; the boss was about to go insane. The entire project was designed with only five big toys in stock, intended to last a month, but now, on the second day, they had already given away three grand prizes.
"Congratulations to the three of you for reaching the summit and winning the grand prize. This proves... anything is possible. So, what are you all waiting for?"
Despite his heart bleeding, the owner had to say these words, as the business still had to continue. Even though it might not be profitable immediately, at least they should break even.
"Boss, can we exchange one big toy for two medium ones?" Wu Mengting asked after thinking about it, as one big stuffed toy was already a hassle to carry, and two would be impossible to manage.
"Of course, you can."
The boss was overjoyed since two medium toys didn’t cost much, just 80 yuan each. All set, the total was just 160, far less than the 388 for one big one.
Chen Tianlong didn’t care much about the cost; as long as Wu Mengting was happy, it was enough.
After a while, Wu Mengting held two medium toys, and Chen Tianlong carried a big toy, walking towards Ouyang Meijia and Liu Ting in the crowd.
