Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 622 Don’t judge people by their appearance
The second man who challenged was too thin and was laughed at by the people nearby when he walked out of the crowd.
"Brother, you don't look too old, so don't be so desperate and try to get yourself killed."
"My God, you are so small and yet you still want to beat others. Are you daydreaming or are you crazy about eating meat? Don't break your arm and have to go to the hospital for treatment. The medical expenses will be enough to make you drink a pot of wine."
"Forget it. It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with good words. Young people are full of youthful vigor and always think they are the best in the world. Anyway, they have to suffer some setbacks before they know not to force themselves to stand out in the future."
"Could he be a superpower, and want to use his superpowers to win?"
"Are you stupid? Didn't you see the testing equipment on the table? It's really stupid to want to cheat in front of me."
The man was not embarrassed by the pointing and talking behind him. Instead, he walked to the table with a swagger. Even the host was a little caught off guard, so he asked tentatively: "Brother, are you sure you want to participate in the arm wrestling competition?"
"What, I can't?" The thin man narrowed his eyes, but there was no fear in his eyes, but instead a sense of relaxation and ease.
"It's not that you can't, but you should still think about it again. This is a strength competition, and the use of supernatural powers is prohibited." Although the host kept a certain smile on his face, there was actually a flash of contempt in his eyes, and he felt that this person was overestimating his own abilities.
The thin guy laughed out loud, and didn't care what the host said, still enjoying the atmosphere.
Gu Tongwan had seen this kind of calmness in many high-level bosses and company CEOs, but the thin man in front of him didn't look like a high-level hunter...
Gu Tongwan suddenly felt that this man was not a fool who would rather die than not attract everyone's attention, but a real hidden boss.
Suddenly he noticed that Chen Yanxi next to him had been silent, so Gu Tongwan couldn't help but take a closer look at the thin man, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't tell anything wrong. The blood vine on the back of his hand didn't react at all, which meant that the thin man had not reached level A or above, and secondly, he didn't pose any threat himself, so the blood vine was still so quiet.
"So that's not the case." Chen Yanxi narrowed his black eyes with a hint of coldness, and suddenly he said this in a low voice.
Gu Tongwan knew Chen Yanxi. He knew that he would only show such an intriguing expression when it came to people or things that interested him. Moreover, that interested look showed that the person was probably not an ordinary person.
The thin man sat opposite the burly man in a carefree manner. When he grinned, he showed a row of big white teeth. The expression on his face made him look quite silly.
The sturdy man frowned and looked at the other man with disdain, cursing in his heart, "Another idiot looking for death", then turned his head to look at another man in a dark blue coat who had been standing in the tent. The man nodded slowly at the sturdy man, and the sturdy man slowly placed his elbow on the table and looked at the thin man with a raised eyebrow: "Hey, kid, I'll ask you one last time, are you really determined to arm wrestle with me? It's not too late to regret it now."
The thin guy moved his head like a rattle and laughed, "Hey, buddy, you can't judge a person by appearance. I'm very strong, but you may not win today."
The sturdy man was immediately amused when he heard this, and the disdain in his eyes deepened a little. "You are really confident."
"Yes, of course I am confident, otherwise I would not have jumped out to compete with you, and the prize is a wild boar's ear. This cold pig ear is delicious, especially the crispy bones drizzled with red oil and paired with chili and coriander. It tastes delicious, even more delicious than eating greasy pork belly directly. But, if there are any more competitions in the future, I will continue to participate. After all, I like things that don't cost a penny the most."
The thin man's frivolous tone immediately annoyed the strong man. The muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably, and then he raised his eyes and looked at the host: "If there are unavoidable injuries in our competition, will I be responsible?"
The host was stunned at first, then after seeing the anger in the sturdy man's eyes, he advised awkwardly: "This... We have a team responsible for the aftermath, but after all, it's a competition, not a real fight. There's no need to fight to the death. The important thing is to participate." But after saying that, he set his eyes on the thin man who was still casually raising his arms, and changed his tone to a serious one, "However, it's normal if you get injured in the competition. The staff of the nearby health center are on standby at any time, but our guild will only be responsible for 30% of the subsequent compensation. Unless it's malicious competition, we will not bear the main responsibility. If you are willing, brother, just sign this letter of commitment."
"Oh, your competition is good. There is also a waiver of liability. People who don't know would think I'm playing. Bungee jumping is just arm wrestling. But I'll sign it. I'm also worried that you guys might get hurt by accident."
The host's smile froze for a moment, and he couldn't help but utter what was in his heart: "Haha, you are really confident..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get started." The sturdy man was obviously impatient, and the more he looked at the thin man, the more annoyed he became. Originally, he planned to use only 50% to 60% of his strength to make him retreat, but now it seems that if he doesn't teach this thin man a lesson, he won't know how to write the word "learn from his mistakes"!
Liao Yunyun stood on tiptoe and clenched her hands into fists. But when she saw the skinny guy lifting his sleeves to reveal his small arms that looked like chicken claws, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva. "Oh my god, this guy is so young but he's already stupid. His body and arms look worse than mine."
Yan Fan, who was standing nearby, glanced at Liao Yunyun. Liao Yunyun, who was 1.7 meters tall, was considered tall among women, and indeed looked much stronger than the thin man on the stage.
As the host waved his hand, the thin man didn't show any nervousness at all, and the sturdy man had a smug smile on his face, as if he could take care of the person opposite him in just a few seconds.
"Three, two, one, start!"
Originally everyone thought that this was a match without suspense. After all, the physical difference between the two men meant that the strong man would definitely be the winner. But unexpectedly, as soon as everyone blinked their eyes, they heard a scream.
Just when everyone thought that the scream came from the strong man, the thin man stood up leisurely, shook his hands, and sighed helplessly: "Oh, I waited for so long in vain. I thought he could at least last a minute. How many seconds is this? Host, did you count it?"
As everyone stared in amazement, the thin man stood up with a smile, stretched his back, and said with a grin, "I didn't expect it to take less than two seconds. I thought Big Brother could at least last ten seconds."
The sturdy man reacted belatedly and his face turned red. He suddenly slapped the table hard, and the table shook slightly.
"Are you cheating? Are you using your superpowers?" The sturdy man went up and wanted to grab the thin man by the collar, but was immediately blocked by the host.
"Wait, let's talk it over nicely. Everyone else is watching us!" The host was also panicked. They were all colleagues in the same guild, and he was afraid that this person would be stupid and do something out of line, which would have a negative impact on the guild.
"There's something wrong with this guy, there must be something fishy!" the sturdy man roared breathlessly. If the host hadn't stood between the two of them, the sturdy man would have swung his fist and hit him.
The thin man waved his hands and shrugged his shoulders, looking innocent, but his tone was still a little unclear: "Don't you know whether I cheated or not? If I can cheat in public, then it's my ability, right?"
The host held the burly man tightly with a stern face, and warned him in a low voice: "The instrument did not change color, which means no one was found to be using supernatural powers. Even if this guy is up to something, we have no evidence. Besides, with so many people watching, if you continue to make trouble, it will become like our guild is deliberately making things difficult for you. I think we should let this matter go first!"
The sturdy man wanted to say a few more words, but the onlookers were all focused on the two men. Some of them even started to help the thin man: "Hey, the ability detection equipment didn't show any abnormalities, which means that guy is better than you at arm wrestling. People in your guild, don't deny it!"
"Yes, that's right. I saw it clearly just now. His arms were exposed, and he won in seconds. If you don't admit it, you'd be too ungracious. Are you reluctant to part with the pig's ear?"
"You're awesome, bro. I'm rooting for you today. Will you join the game later?"
At this time, many people in the audience had already started to "fence-sitter" and stood on the side of the thin man. Chen Yanxi just smiled and said, "Transformation ability, and the level is not low. It can also converge its own ability, even compress it to the point where the instrument cannot detect it."
[Transfiguration] is a type of transformation ability. People can compress their bones to a certain volume. They had encountered a transformation ability before in the massacre in Liao Yunyun's community. In the end, it was Gu Tongwan's method that killed him. At that time, the level of the shapeshifter seemed to be C level, so she was able to kill him with one blow. But in her previous life, she had heard from various rumors in the supernatural world that some high-level shapeshifters can not only change their body shape at will, but can even change their appearance into another person. For example, an adult man can change himself into a six or seven-year-old child, or change his body shape into a cute little girl.
However, this type of deformation also has a flaw, which is that it cannot be maintained for a long time and will return to its original appearance after a certain period of time.
When Gu Tongwan first heard about this magical ability, he said it was simply a modern version of "Yi Yi Rong Tai Shu".
"He was able to hide from the detection equipment. Could he be an S-class psychic as well?" Being able to restrain the aura of supernatural powers at will, even to a weak level, is definitely not an ordinary person. This means that this person has used his supernatural powers to the extreme.
Chen Yanxi just smiled and said, "It's not S-level, but... at least above A-level."
Gu Tongwan pursed her lips and her eyes fell on the thin man opposite again. He was below S-level but above A-level, which meant that if this person faced an A-level psychic, he would be able to win easily. It could be said that he was infinitely close to the S-level position. No wonder those psychics on the opposite side could not see any tricks.
After this incident, the onlookers and the people from the guild that organized this event no longer dared to look down on the skinny guy. The skinny guy asked the host for a bowl of hot ginger tea, took a sip, and then licked his lips and asked, "Can we continue?"
The competition was a win-lose system, and whoever defeated the strong man could get the pig ear. But from the beginning the guild had no intention of letting anyone win the prize, at least they didn't expect the strong man to lose in the second round, so the host started to "draw lots" on the spot, and even encouraged those who were confident in themselves to come up and challenge the thin man.
Some people off the field who had always been skeptical about the skinny guy's identity were unhappy. They even thought that the skinny guy was very likely in cahoots with the guild and it was a trap set by the organizer.
So a man who looked quite strong immediately expressed his willingness to challenge. Someone immediately recognized that the man was a charcoal businessman in the camp. He often followed the logging team to the forest to cut wood. Both his physical fitness and strength were far beyond the average person.
The man does what he says and won't be convinced until he tries it himself. And after glancing at the skinny man's wrist that looked like a bean sprout, his suspicion deepened. How could this bean sprout beat the hunter from another guild? Was this a deliberate gimmick?
But after the official fight, the man gasped in pain while holding his wrist which seemed to be broken. He was defeated almost at the moment the host shouted "start".
"Fuck, is this guy so awesome?"
"See, this is what they call not judging a person by his appearance."
"Brother, I'm rooting for you!" The crowd erupted in warm cheers and applause.
This time, the host saw the person in the tent making a gesture, so he opened his phone to check the message. After a while, his face was full of smiles again. "Listen to me, everyone. In order to increase the fun and sense of participation, our guild has decided to add prizes to this arm wrestling competition. In a while, our guild will send three more members to participate in the arm wrestling competition. Others are welcome to sign up. At the same time, if this brother can beat everyone, then half of the wild boar pork ribs today will belong to him. On the other hand, if someone else wins, then I'm sorry, the pork ribs will have to be given to others. Okay, is anyone participating?"
Just as Gu Tongwan was still watching the game with great interest, the person next to him suddenly said, "I remember you liked eating pork ribs when you were a child."
"Ah?" Gu Tongwan raised his head in some surprise, but the person next to him just walked to the competition field very calmly.
Liao Yunyun beside her was more surprised than her, and shook her shoulders excitedly: "Sister, is Chen Yanxi going to crush us?"
