468, you are my idol
Thank you Brother B and C for your 10,000 yuan reward!
The next day, Friday, October 19, 2018.
After visiting several business locations in Nagoya yesterday, neither Vic nor Elena were very satisfied with it.
Therefore, in the morning, as in the previous cycle, at Elena's initiative, the three of them did not continue their investigation, but went to the places of interest here to visit.
Time inertia cannot be eliminated, and there is no way to eliminate it.
I didn't think I would meet Watanabe Murafu again this time, after all, the place they are in now is very different from the location they encountered in the last time loop.
But I didn't expect it to be an "encounter".
But this time, it was Watanabe Murafu who took the initiative to find him.
Because he accidentally learned from Tetsuo Nishiguchi that Zhou Ping was also on Nagoya's side, he immediately made a phone call.
When he received a call from Watanabe Villager, Zhou Ping was also quite surprised.
He realized that this matter seemed to be unavoidable, so he directly told himself where he was at the moment.
Because they were originally in the same place, but this time the route was different, so Watanabe Murato quickly found Shuhei.
After the meeting, Watanabe Murao invited Zhou Ping to participate in the Big Stomach King competition again.
In fact, this time there was no reminder from Vic and Elena at all, and it was Watanabe Murato who remembered it himself.
Although Zhou Ping thought that the ramen in the Big Stomach King contest was very delicious, he still didn't want to participate, so he refused like last time.
And he deliberately didn't take the initiative to mention words like referee, but the inertia of time is always so strong.
Watanabe Murafu, who was still a little distressed, frowned, thinking about how to persuade Zhou Ping, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he took the initiative to let Zhou Ping participate in the Big Stomach King competition as a referee.
For this proposal, Zhou Ping was stunned for a moment.
felt that this matter was unavoidable, and combined with some details promoted by the previous time loop, Zhou Ping readily agreed.
The Big Stomach King race is the same as the last time loop, nothing has changed!
However, because of a bit of a delay in the middle of the race, when they rushed over, there were only 10 minutes left to start the game.
However, Watanabe Murafu's face was there, and after briefly negotiating with the organizer and revealing Zhou Ping's identity, he successfully won the sixth referee spot for him, and Shi Shiran sat on the referee's seat......
Supposed to be a testament to the local influence, the prize money for the World Big Stomach Contest in Nagoya is unusually generous, and it has received strong support from civil society organizations and the government, and the publicity is very good.
Therefore, the players who came to participate in this big stomach king competition are all extraordinary, and each of them is determined to win.
Because of this, it seems that the competition has entered a white-hot stage from the beginning.
However, this kind of competition is all about strength, and it is clear at a glance.
Just like last time, there were only three people left in the field at the half-hour mark.
A Japanese big stomach king named Junno Kanegawa, who is not tall and even a little thin, is also a local seed player in Nagoya, and has a long reputation in Japan and has achieved many impressive results.
A tall, muscular man from England named Felik in the name of a humanoid bulldozer.
There is also Jiang Shang from Huaxia, who is 1.8 meters tall, but not fat, and a handsome young man with a flat head.
In the first cycle, Zhou Ping was not optimistic about Jiang Shang either.
Because he is the least famous of the three, and the speed is not as fast as the other two, but he didn't expect the result to be unexpected.
Or rather, it makes people fall through the glasses!
The competition is getting more and more intense.
The crowd watching around them also fluctuated in mood as they swallowed the ramen.
Twenty-three bowls of ......
Thirty-six bowls of ......
When he had eaten forty bowls, Felik, the most sturdy of all, could not eat anymore.
He sat down on the table and chair, burped heavily, shook his head, raised his hand in chagrin, and had to withdraw from the game.
Seeing that his face was flushed and his steps were sluggish, if nothing else, he must have gone backstage to vomit.
With Felik's withdrawal, there are only Jiang Shang and Nako Sakai from Osaka, Japan!
In the Sino-Japanese showdown, there didn't seem to be much change on the scene, but the audience's emotions were completely ignited.
Felik's departure really didn't have much impact on the remaining two players.
They continued to eat the ramen in front of them unhurriedly at their own pace.
Forty-one bowls of ......
Forty-two bowls of ......
At this time, Kanegawa Junye's swallowing movement gradually slowed down compared to before, and it seemed that he was about to reach the limit.
His pace was getting slower and slower, but he was still gritting his teeth and holding on
After all, all experienced players know very well in their hearts that when the strength is equal, the competition is psychological quality.
If you force your opponent to give up first with strong perseverance, you can also win the game.
When Kanegawa Junye reluctantly finished the forty-second bowl of ramen, he finally couldn't help but glance sideways at Jiang Shang.
He was shocked to find that his opponent, Jiang Shang, unhurriedly picked up the forty-third bowl of ramen, and then slowly ate it.
Seeing this scene, Kanegawa Junye was completely deflated, held the table with a gloomy face, stood up with difficulty, and signaled to the staff that he would withdraw from the game.
Then, with great difficulty, he slowly bowed to the supporters in the audience, clutched his stomach and walked lonely away from the arena.
On the other hand, Jiang Shang, although he had already won the victory and had one more bowl than the second place, he still continued to eat.
However, apparently because of Kanekawa's withdrawal, his speed has also slowed down a lot.
Just when everyone was sweating for him, Jiang Shang ate the last bowl, burped heavily, and stopped completely.
He waved to the staff next to him to end the game.
Suddenly, the audience was cheering.
At this time, the host also came to the stage again and said in an extremely sensational tone: "This is Jiang Shangjun, the big stomach king from China, let us congratulate him with warm applause on winning this competition and winning the championship." ”
"This time, the ramen is served by the Umi ramen chain from Tokyo, and the ingredients are carefully selected and specially boiled broth, making it the perfect choice for your meal!"
......
After the game, backstage.
Looking at Jiang Shang, the same young stomach king in front of him, Zhou Ping patted him on the shoulder and congratulated him sincerely: "Well done, buddy, congratulations on winning the championship of this competition with an absolute advantage!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Jiang Shangxie asked, just like in the last time loop, with a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"Sir, you are also from Huaxia?
He asked the same question last time, but it was only after Watanabe mentioned that Shuhei had also participated in the Big Stomach competition in Las Vegas.
"My name is Zhou Ping, and we should be meeting for the first time!" Zhou Ping said with a smile.
For this compatriot from Huaxia, Zhou Ping chatted with him very happily after the game.
This fellow foodie from the magic capital is upright by nature, which can be seen from the fact that although he won the competition, he still challenged his own limits.
In the last time loop, after Jiang Shang knew that Zhou Ping was the big stomach king of Las Vegas, it turned out to be the attitude of fans towards idols.
Of course, this upright newcomer to Japan's big stomach also wants to challenge Zhou Ping.
He said that this is a wish that has been haunting his heart since he watched the video of the search for the Las Vegas Big Stomach contest last time.
Because Zhou Ping's performance at that time was so eye-catching, Jiang Shang, who was also a powerful faction, had an unreal feeling.
So he really wanted to see for himself if Zhou Ping's strength was so exaggerated.
Because sometimes for publicity, the contestants may also cooperate with the organizer to play some tricks.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Zhou Ping, but that Zhou Ping's performance at that time was really beyond the limits of what humans could have.
In particular, Zhou Ping's physique looks relatively thin, which makes it even more difficult.
"Zhou Ping?
Jiang Shang muttered this name that felt very familiar, and for a moment he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
Zhou Ping looked at him with a little smile, waiting for the moment when he suddenly realized.
Elena and Vic probably guessed what was going on, and they were also smiling, looking at this big stomach king from China very tacitly.
They were really surprised how the man in front of them, who was relatively thinner, had defeated an opponent who was wider and fatter than him and ate so much ramen.
Elena, in particular, couldn't help but look at Jiang Shang's stomach over and over again.
She really couldn't imagine where so many things were loaded by him, could it be that his stomach was leading to a black hole?
Suddenly, Jiang Shang's eyes lit up, he seemed to finally remember, raised his hand and said excitedly: "You are the big stomach king of Las Vegas, Zhou Ping?"
With a snap of his fingers, Zhou Ping nodded and said, "That's right! ”
Jiang Shang patted his head and sighed again and again: "I said how can I see you so familiar, you are my idol, I watched the video of your game at the beginning! In less than half an hour, twenty-five large burgers, plus a gallon of Coke, are really amazing! And it seems that you didn't do your best." ”
Jiang Shang said with admiration, but there was a look of eagerness in his eyes, as if he wanted to compare with Zhou Ping!
To be honest, Zhou Ping is really not interested in the title of this idol.
Big Stomach Idol?
It sounds uncomfortable, like a starving ghost reincarnated.
"Oh-my-god! man, I only knew you were the champion of the Big Stomach King, but I didn't expect you to be so able to eat. Vic looked at Zhou Ping in surprise, and that look was like looking at a monster.
Elena had obviously learned about Zhou Ping carefully, and although she was not surprised, she also looked at him with beautiful eyes, as if waiting for some kind of answer.
"Hey, Vic, please don't look at me like that! I feel weird!" Zhou Ping scratched his head and subconsciously glanced at Elena before saying to Vic.
Elena obviously knew what Zhou Ping meant, but she just smiled and didn't open her mouth to help him out.
In desperation, Zhou Ping had no choice but to divert the topic.
Because of Vic's next words, Zhou Ping had learned it last time, and he really didn't want to revisit it again this time.
It's so embarrassing.
Especially in front of Elena!
"Jiang Shang, why don't we talk in another place! This is not the place to talk. After speaking, Zhou Ping raised his hand and pointed outside.
There, there were also several reporters from local newspapers and television stations guarding there, waiting to interview Jiang Shang.
Jiang Shang scratched his head and said, "Well, it's just right to change places, I don't speak Japanese very well, and I don't know how to deal with it when the time comes, just listen to Brother Zhou!"
Zhou Ping was not surprised by what he said, everything was basically the same as in the previous cycle.
"Well, in that case, let's go!"
Saying that, Zhou Ping said hello to Watanabe Villager, and then helped Jiang Shang make an appointment with a group of reporters, and then took Vic to the coffee shop last time with Elena and Jiang Shang.
Originally, those reporters were not easy to dismiss, but Watanabe Murafu was very knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and directly helped them block the way.
In fact, for these reporters, it is good to interview the champion of the big stomach, but after learning the identity of Watanabe Murafu, they are also very interested.
And Zhou Ping said that he would arrange time for Jiang Shang to be interviewed, but he was not in a hurry.
In fact, they are also very interested in Zhou Ping.
All in all, just waiting and being able to get more material was definitely well worth the wait.
As in the previous cycle, Elena and Vic didn't stay long before heading back to the hotel.
It's not that they look down on Jiang Shang, the main thing is that their circles are different, and there really aren't many topics.
Instead of sitting there a little coldly and embarrassing everyone, it is better to just leave.
After seeing the two leave, Jiang Shang also let go of the topic and chatted with Zhou Ping as he wanted.
After all, Vic and Elena are born with a temperament, and under this momentum, ordinary people will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.
Jiang Shang is certainly no exception.
After the last conversation, Zhou Ping still knows a lot about Jiang Shang in front of him.
He was born in a middle-class family in the magic capital, and he is also considered to be a small net worth.
Originally, Jiang Shang was still very normal in terms of diet before high school, but after entering high school, the amount of food gradually increased, but his body did not gain weight.
At the beginning, this situation also caused his family to think that he had some kind of illness, and he went to the hospital many times.
The results can be summed up in just three words!
In the coffee shop, Zhou Ping chatted with him for a while and then said goodbye.
When leaving, Jiang Shang warmly invited Zhou Ping to go to the magic capital to find him after returning to China, so that he could also treat Zhou Ping and experience the characteristic charm of the magic capital.
As for Jiang Shang's interview with reporters, Zhou Ping naturally handed it over to Watanabe Villager, and those reporters' ideas of digging up Zhou Ping's relevant news were doomed to fail.
Overall, they certainly won't suffer.
A new big stomach king plus a top Japanese food master Watanabe Murao is enough to satisfy their appetite.
As for whether the two of them will be oppressed by these uncrowned kings because of this, it is not a question that Zhou Ping needs to care about.
