01 The goal is 100 million
Chen Yan held a crumpled bill and sat alone outside the emergency room. His face was pale, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Grandma......" Chen Yan looked at the astronomical numbers on the bill, feeling an invisible pressure choking his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Mrs. Chen suddenly fell ill at dinner today and was rushed to the hospital. Chen Yan is her orphan grandson, and the two depend on each other for their lives, and their income depends on running a small store in Xiangkou.
Such a family can no longer withstand the blow of any disease.
"The operation costs 500,000 yuan, and the cost in the later stage is not cheap, one million is guaranteed......" The doctor said something later, Chen Yan didn't remember a word, but remembered the astronomical number - one million.
Chen Xuan planned to go home and clean up before coming to the hospital to keep vigil. His hand holding the bill, like a soldering iron, was hot and heavy.
At night, the streets are brightly lit, and you pass by the bustling electrical city. The sound of the hawkers, the noise of machinery, the creeping of night cats...... Everything is also lost at this time......
"The third season of the Superpower Contest is about to start! Regardless of gender, young or old, as long as you participate, you will have a chance to grab the championship and take 100 million Lukka home! What are you waiting for? Hurry up and sign up!"
This is the third time Chen Yan has heard an advertisement when he passes by the Electric City today.
'What a superpower, it's just a gimmick to deceive the audience!' Chen Hao thought to himself. 'If there were superpowers in the world, people wouldn't have to work so hard!'
For their poor people, this kind of competition is after all an after-dinner entertainment talk, which cannot change the status quo, and is a pipe dream......
"Didi!" came a text message on the mobile phone, and when I opened it, I saw that it was this month's water and electricity and next month's rent.
"Superpower Competition...... Who is the 100 million Luka?...... Come and sign up!" The picture on the big screen on the street kept replaying, and the number of 100 million Lukas was deeply rooted in Chen Yan's mind like a spell at this time.
Gritting his teeth and secretly making up his mind, Chen Yufei ran back to his home: "Whatever, as long as you have that 100 million Luka......
He anxiously pulled out a crumpled ball of leaflets from the messy paper basket and carefully laid it out.
On the back of the flyer is the registration form, fill it out, leave the phone number, and put it in the mailbox, even if you sign up for the competition. Next, the organizer will notify the participants by SMS to go to the registration location for interview and selection.
Chen Wei threw the completed registration form into the mailbox on the side of the road and returned to the hospital.
On the hospital bed, the old lady slept peacefully, as if she was about to leave the world without concern in the next second. Chen Yan looked at his grandmother's gray hair, full of emotions.
Time passes in circles and waiting.
By the time I received my first SMS message, it was already a week later. They informed the contestants that the address for the selection was on the first floor of the town hall. Those who pass the interview will be able to participate in the pre-selection of the competition.
The whole game was broadcast live, and the schedule lasted for half a month.
Chen Xuan emptied his savings and prepaid a month's hospitalization fee. Now, there is only one choice in front of him - victory!
However, before participating in the competition, Chen Yan had a problem that had to be solved......
'How do you disguise yourself as a superpowered person to participate in the competition?'
On the day of the interview, the streets were much busier than usual.
Outside the municipal building is a crowded sea of people. An open-air café on the street filled with applicants from all over the world. Some of them were dressed in fancy costumes, some were strange-looking, and some were armed with guns and hilts...... But they all came towards one goal - victory.
Chen Yan looked at a man with a plane head and a mouse face when he stepped into the city hall, and his eyes couldn't stop looking. This man is really good-looking. What kind of superpower is he? Is he a weird-looking superpower?' Chen Hao complained to himself.
He picked up his schoolbag, followed the man into the city hall, and randomly found a sofa by the window to sit down, but he panicked in his heart: 'The name has also been reported, the person has come, but the superpower has not yet been conjured...... What to do?'
As a matter of fact, Chen Yi himself, who came to the city hall with a hard head, was just an ordinary student who was excellent in character and learning, handsome and chic, and diligent and thrifty!
That night, it was entirely because he was carried away by money that he reported his name to the devil and sent a god to report his name! And today, when his mind is hot, he came here......
"If you come, you will be safe, maybe God will open your eyes and I will win......," Chen Yan comforted himself, took the two-yuan lottery ticket he had picked up on the ground earlier, and silently took a sip of tea.
At this time, two contestants came to the couch in the back seat, and they muttered something: "Hey, you know what? Actually, the audition has already started now!"
The man looked very cautiously left and right, he lowered his voice and whispered in his partner's ear: "Actually, the real registration location is not on the first floor of the city hall, but in the toilet in the underground parking lot of the city hall!"
"Toilet!" exclaimed another, realizing that he was too loud, and asked in a low voice, "How is that possible?
Chen Hao sat in the back, pretending to read the Sudoku game in the magazine, but his actual ear listened very carefully: 'Oh~in the toilet in the underground parking lot~'
He grinned in his heart: 'It's not eavesdropping! It's just a coincidence!
The man pinched his accomplice and said, "There's a secret room!"
"I went to check in the morning, and the toilet was almost impossible to get in! I guess, there were few people who actually went to the toilet, and there must be a secret room inside!
"And the registration location is in the underground parking lot toilet, no one expected this!" The man chuckled proudly: "So, all those guys who signed up in the hall on the first floor are not qualified! Being able to collect correct information is also one of the abilities!"
After eavesdropping on the man's words, Chen untraceably packed his schoolbag and took the elevator to the underground parking lot.
There is a simple map at the entrance of the elevator, which indicates that there are four toilets in different locations, which must be checked one by one.
Chen Wei squatted at the door of each toilet for more than ten minutes. He found that there were indeed some people who did not come out of the toilet after entering, although it could not be ruled out that some people were constipated and came out too slowly...... However, only the fourth toilet went in, and ten people didn't come out! These ten people shouldn't be constipated at the same time! And there is a detail here that is easy to overlook, and he found out!
That's – toilet paper!
Although each toilet looks similar, only the first four toilets have a vending machine at the door where toilet paper is bought!
'Finally found!' Chen Hao burst into tears.
Let's not talk about the registration location. In fact, when he just squatted in the toilet, he really wanted to go in and solve it, but he didn't have any paper on him, and finally found a toilet that sold paper, so he still went to it first!
Chen Xun hurriedly walked to the vending machine, and was about to pay for it when a little brother suddenly appeared around the corner. He lined up in front of Chen Yan and looked at the machine, as if he was a little confused.
Chen Yan stomped his feet anxiously: "Just cut in line, can you hurry up!Ahhhh
But the little brother just stared at the machine blankly, his left hand hanging in the air, and pinched it helplessly.
Chen Yan looked at the little brother in front of him, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He plugged in front of the little brother, threw coins twice, and bought two packs of tissues: "This bag is for you, remember to bring change next time." Then, go first!"
It's almost the same speed as flying. Chen Yan immediately found a door, and a few seconds later, there was a sound of flushing water inside.
'Ahh
Chen Yan sighed with satisfaction, and heard a hard voice coming from the toilet next door.
"Sir, do you have any paper?"
"Yes~" Chen Yan generously handed out the remaining half of the pack of tissues from the gap below, "Anyway, it's over, it's fun to help others!"
The man took the half-pack of tissues and paused, then handed back a number plate through the slit. It is printed with the number - number 66.
'What's going on?' Chen's little brain was full of questions.
