Chapter 3 Holding a Gold Brick in One Hand

Nandu Fortune Plaza.

Li Wen looked at the endless flow of people at the entrance of the mall, and the whole person felt bad.

"It's not a weekend either......"

Although it is not a holiday, let alone a weekend, there are still crowds of people and traffic at the entrance of the building.

Fashionably dressed women pass by in twos and threes, and there are occasional men, but the ratio of men and women is obviously incongruous, making people wonder if the beauties of the whole southern capital have gathered here.

Levine looked up, and an event ad was scrolling on an outdoor screen hanging overhead.

"Jinxin Jewelry's 10th Anniversary Reward! Fifty kilograms of gold bricks, waiting for you to get! The number is limited, only this one! Jinxin Jewelry counter on the first floor, waiting for your visit!"

Jinxin jewelry is one of the largest brands in the domestic jewelry industry, for this publicity activity, specially prepared a piece of pure gold bricks weighing 50 kilograms, placed in the glass box on the counter on the first floor, only need to pay a hundred yuan registration fee, you can get a chance to hold the gold brick with one hand, who can pick up the gold brick with one hand for 30 seconds, the gold brick will belong to whom.

Fifty kilograms of gold bricks, the value of which is up to a million!

Although this kind of activity has been common in some shopping malls, it is unprecedented to take a real gold brick as a prize, not only in Nandu, but even in the whole country!

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, not only Nandu, but also many fitness experts in the surrounding cities have rushed to Nandu before tonight, even some otaku who usually stay at home and don't go out also plan to give it a try, in order to fight for a chance to get rich overnight, relying on one-handed, to achieve their dreams!

The potential business prospects and implicit advertising costs it brings to businesses are far greater than the value of this gold brick.

A week ago, Li Wen posted an advertising flyer for the event on the street, when he was a malnourished underage high school student, let alone 50 kilograms on one hand, and even helped his sister push the breakfast cart.

However, time has passed, and a week is a short time, and many people may not be able to cope with even one exam, but it is enough for a teenager to be reborn and do something he would never have dared to think of before.

Li Wen touched the four hundred yuan in his trouser pocket, and worked on the construction site this afternoon, which allowed Li Wen to find out the details of his current body, and also allowed him to earn enough registration fees.

"Four times, I hope it works. ”

If you have hope in your heart, you won't feel tired. But this Wanda Plaza is too big, and Li Wen has never gone shopping, so he can't tell the difference between southeast and northwest. If it weren't for the frightened shouts of the crowd in front of him, he would have really lost himself in this crowd.

"Challenge failed!"

Li Wen huddled in the crowd, tiptoe to look at the counter.

A man in a white vest with rough muscles walked back from the front of Jinxin Jewelry's counter with a face full of chagrin.

"It's a pity, I almost picked it up. A passer-by uncle said to the man.

The man's face darkened, and he muttered: "Fifty kilograms with one hand, and you have to take thirty seconds, even if you find a world wrist strength champion, you may not be able to hold on." ”

Li Wen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, he had been delayed in the flow of people for too long, for fear that someone would take the lead and carry the gold bricks home.

However, seeing the extremely explosive muscles on the man's body, and looking at his thin arms like bamboo strips, his heart was also slightly drumming.

And he also agrees with the man's statement.

Fifty kilograms on one hand is not difficult for many people who like to keep fit, and specialize in arm and wrist strength.

The difficulty of grasping the gold brick with one hand is that the gold brick is a square object with a smooth surface, unlike dumbbells and other fitness equipment, where there is a place for the five fingers to exert force.

This is a bit of an old cow catching mice, and there is no place to use it.

"Pick it up!"

At this moment, a cry of surprise was suddenly heard, and Li Wen hurriedly poked his head out and looked towards the counter again.

A middle-aged strong man wearing a camouflage vest was standing in front of the glass box with gold bricks at this time, holding down the desktop with one hand, and firmly holding the surface of the gold bricks with the five fingers of the other hand.

The audience was a sensation, and this was the first player to be able to pick it up more than an hour after the event began.

And many sharp-eyed people have also noticed that on the arms of the middle-aged strong man, there are hideous and terrifying scars, coupled with the camouflage vest he wears, everyone invariably thinks of a profession: special forces!

This is a special soldier who has really been on the battlefield and killed the enemy!

Unlike those fitness men who use protein powder and deliberate local muscle training in the gym, every muscle in his body is sharpened in blood and water, and the terrifying power contained in his muscles, as well as the control and explosiveness of power, are absolutely instantaneous.

Seeing this, many of the able-bodied participants began to shake their heads, ready to retreat.

Li Wen is very surprised, for him, the most important thing at present is to make money quickly and pay off the accounts, and the control and grasp of his own strength, although he has obtained the inheritance of the sea of stars, but he will not throw his two arms every day to move bricks to the construction site so violently.

He carefully observed the middle-aged strong man, because of the overload, the muscles on the cheeks had been bitten into a straight line, and the bloodshot eyes were about to burst out, with a hideous face, half-gritted teeth, and a burst of roars came out of his mouth.

"If you continue to hold on so strongly, no matter if you win or lose, I am afraid that this arm of the gold brick will not recover for a few months, and even holding chopsticks will become a problem, right?"

Li Wen had this experience when he was working on the construction site before, and in order to finish the last two truckloads of sand before the end of work, he could hardly hold a pen and write properly for almost a week.

"It seems that it is not easy for anyone......"

At the same time as Li Wen sighed, a ridicule came from his ears: "It's the same as the truth, you still know fitness?"

Li Wen turned his head, only to find that there was a muscular man wearing a black sports vest and shorts, with an inverted triangle shape standing next to him, hugging a little beauty in sexy and revealing clothes, and looked at him with disdain.

Li Wen smiled: "I don't understand." ”

"I don't know what to pretend to be here, you can't even do the most basic muscle tensile training in the gym, and you lick your face and say that others, and you don't pick a place to pretend to be forced. ”

When the muscular man spoke, his thigh-thick arm hugged the little beauty in his arms, and the bulging biceps alone was the size of the little beauty's head, forming a strong visual contrast.

Li Wen unconsciously made up the pictures of the two people in some specific scenes in his mind, and suddenly felt embarrassed, and quickly returned his gaze to the challenge platform.

"23 seconds!22 seconds!21 seconds...... Hey!"

As the gold bricks fell on the table again, the middle-aged strong man fell down, and the whole person sat directly on the ground, panting heavily, although the arm holding the gold bricks was firmly covered by the other hand, but it was still trembling violently with a visible amplitude.

"I've picked it up, but unfortunately I can't hold on!" The eyes of the onlookers gathered on the gold bricks in the glass box, and let out a sigh of regret.

"Are you alright?"

Li Wen finally squeezed in from the crowd and stretched out his thin arm at the strong man.

The strong man glanced up at him, did not take his hand, but stood up on his own with his hand, kneaded his right shoulder, and said lightly: "You are also here to get gold bricks?"

"I want to try. Li Wen smiled with two rows of white teeth.

The strong man turned his head to look at him, and after snorting, he stared at the gold brick and stopped talking.

Even the special forces fell, and the scene fell into a cold field for a while.

No matter how the host mobilizes with the microphone, no one dares to try again, but fortunately, the organizer temporarily changed the rules of the event, as long as he picked up the gold brick, he would send a commemorative gold necklace worth 2,000 yuan, and give a strong man in front of everyone, and then someone came forward to try it one after another.

The second floor of the mall.

After Lin Xi sent the second lady home, he heard that there was a major event held in the mall tonight, so he drove here directly to check the security and fire protection measures related to the event.

"So many people here?"

As the personal assistant of the second miss of the Bai family, she also has some daily public relations activities of the Bai family's business, and she has seen a lot of big scenes, but it is the first time she has seen such an event in which so many people can participate in a business.

The accompanying mall manager smiled and said, "No, fifty kilograms of gold bricks, millions, if I hadn't heard that you were coming, I would have wanted to try it." ”

Lin Xi glanced at him lightly: "You have to understand your responsibilities, if you like to take gold bricks, you can hand over your resignation letter now, and then go down and try." ”

"You're right, I don't know the depths. The manager smiled.

As he was talking, Lin Xi suddenly let out a "huh", and looked at a thin figure in the crowd downstairs.

"Why is he here?" Lin Xi frowned, she remembered that this person should have a very important date later, why did he come here to join in the fun.

"There are still 10 minutes left before the end of this event, if there are no more contestants to challenge, then I will announce that this event will end in failure, and the gold bricks will continue to belong to the company!"

The host held the microphone and announced the deadline for the event.

So far, more than 60 players have participated, except for the special forces, who can pick up the gold bricks for 10 seconds, and the other players from a provincial weightlifting team have picked up the gold bricks, but they have lasted less than a second and then thrown them back.

The disparity in strength is obvious, and the onlookers have left a lot one after another, and the rest are all those who hold the mentality that it is rare to have the opportunity to see such a big gold brick in this life, and it is a good idea to take a look at it, including the special forces who are unwilling.

"In five minutes, no one is willing to come up and try it anymore?" The host looked at the dwindling crowd of onlookers, touched the mobile phone in his pocket, and planned to send a text message to his boyfriend, so he could leave work early today.

"I'll try. ”

A small man in shabby jeans, short sleeves stained with mud and a black mask on his face walked out of the crowd.

"You, you?"

The host thought that he had seen it wrong, and after his eyes swept around, he made sure that there was only such a teenager in the crowd who stood up to participate in the challenge, and then confirmed: "You want to try to hold a gold brick with one hand?"

Too skinny.

Look at this thin arm and thin legs, even a figure that women envy, and try to get gold bricks?

However, out of good professionalism, she quickly regained her professional smile and did not say it.

"Just try. ”

Li Wen took out a hundred yuan from his pocket, handed it to the host, ignored the disdainful gaze of the onlookers, and stood straight in front of the glass cabinet.

"It's all about participation, everyone has the right to act on their dreams, and after working hard, maybe a miracle will happen?"

The hostess in a silver slim uniform had a professional smile on her face, and then the corners of her mouth were raised, outlining an imperceptible sneer.

This gold brick was personally tested by the boss who invited the triple crown champion of the World Wrist Power Championship to test it himself, and it couldn't even support it for 20 seconds.

I watched Li Wen roll up his sleeves, revealing a slender arm, and put his palm into the glass case.

It's too small.

She shook her head sarcastically.

Fifty kilograms of gold bricks are not only reflected in weight, but also in volume that ordinary middle-aged people can grasp in the palm of their hands. If you want to pick it up, no matter how big your palm is, you can only hold the narrow part of the upper part, and then grasp it with the strength of your five fingers, and then lift it up hard with your wrist.

Physique, skill and strength are all three indispensable.

Li Wen is only 17 years old this year, his living conditions are not good, resulting in perennial malnutrition, and his physical development is already half a head shorter than his peers.

Five fingers just pinched the circle of the gold brick, and there was not even an extra knuckle, even if you had great strength, there was no place to focus at all.

"Young man, why don't you try it with gloves. ”

Special forces kindly reminded. He could see that although this child was a little self-conscious, he had a good heart, and more importantly, he was dressed up, and the family should be quite short of money.

"You can add a little bit of friction. He explained.

Li Wen did not speak, and all his attention was focused on the gold brick he held in his hand.

One million, with this million, he can not only pay off the debts he owes, but also allow himself and his sister to no longer live a poor life.

My sister no longer has to get up early every day and push the broken car to sell breakfast on the street, with this million, everything can change, everything can be fine.

This is not a gold brick, it is the lifeblood that will change the happiness of his and his sister's life!

He inhaled softly, and even though his five fingers were already having a hard time finding the place to exert his power, he still had to try with all his might.

"Dad, do you think my brother can pick up the gold bricks?"

A little girl with pigtails raised her head and asked innocently.

The middle-aged man took her hand and said dotingly: "How is it possible, Dad has been in the army all his life, and he has never seen a person with such strength in one hand, but the courage of the little brother to try is worth learning from, you know?"

"Hmm!" the little girl nodded confidently.

"Brother Xiang, do you really think this kid can pick up the gold brick?"

A delicate beauty dressed in a sexy and revealing dress, holding the muscular man's muscular arm, asked.

The muscular man sneered: "If he can pick up the gold bricks, I can get up ten times tonight, so that you can't even get out of bed!"

"I hate it, it can be nine more times, then I really hope he can pick it up. The little beauty licked her lips, and then raised her head: "Brother Xiang, aren't you going to participate?"

"Hehe, I'll wait for this kid to be defeated before going up, anyway, there are still three minutes, and when I get the gold bricks, I'll take you to pick up your favorite Paramela tomorrow morning." ”

The little beauty's eyes lit up, and she stood on tiptoe and whispered in the muscular man's ear: "I recently practiced yoga and learned a new posture." ”

At the same time, Li Wen, who was standing on the stage, was slightly clasping his five fingers, feeling the challenge brought by the weight of the gold bricks in his hand to his current body.

After all, it is 50 kilograms, which is still a bit more difficult than transporting cement on the construction site.

He was trying to get his fingers to grasp a suitable point of focus, after all, his palm was still a little thinner than the volume of the gold brick, if he couldn't grasp the narrow surface of the upper part of the gold brick, he was afraid that he would have no brute force, and it would be difficult to find a place to exert it.

But he quickly eliminated the irreversible objective disadvantages caused by physical factors, and even the largest foam box, as long as he could pinch a corner, he could easily lift it above his head.

This is an absolute crushing of power!

Li Wen stared at the gold brick in his hand tightly, and as soon as he lifted his breath, the first faint nebula in his mind suddenly lit up.

"Oh my God! He picked it up!"

With the host's uncontrollable screams, those onlookers, those who were about to leave, and those who passed by all looked towards the front of the counter.

The eyes of countless strangers were focused on this thin teenager wearing a mask.

A thin body can also burst out with earth-shattering terrifying power!

Some women, who can't help but cover their open mouths with their hands;

Some of the children looked at this little brother who was not a few years older than themselves with wide eyes with wide eyes of admiration;

There are also some losers who are re-examining this seemingly weak little boy with a state of mind that is so shocked that they can't help it;

“10!”

“9!”

“8!”

“7!”

“6!”

“5!”

“4!”

“3!”

“2!”

“1!”
