Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 70: All Set, Three Boxes of Rice Noodles
After the ten bowls of noodles were served, the boss placed the timer on the table.
"Sir, the snail noodles are ready. You can start the challenge at any time."
Wang Ye took a deep breath, the sour and pungent smell of the bamboo shoots and the spicy aroma of red oil instantly flooded his nostrils.
He glanced sideways around. At this moment, there were already several customers watching Wang Ye with interest, seemingly intending to watch the show. A few passers-by also gathered outside, raising their phones to record videos.
"Ten bowls of snail noodles, that looks like quite a lot."
"This young man looks pretty sturdy, but I guess he probably won’t be able to finish it all."
"Honestly, I’ve watched for so many days and haven’t seen anyone succeed. This portion is really quite unreasonable."
"I hope this young man knows when to quit, being overstuffed is quite uncomfortable."
"Honey, why don’t you try the challenge later? It looks fun."
"Are you trying to make me die of overeating?"
...
Wang Ye patted his somewhat deflated belly and said:
"I can start now, I’m hungry."
The boss nodded and activated the timer and camera.
Wang Ye then unhurriedly tore open the disposable chopsticks packaging.
He lifted the rice noodles from the soup to let out heat and cool down.
The freshly cooked snail noodles were still too hot to eat; a main dish with a soup base like this needs at least ten minutes to cool down naturally, especially in the current thirty-plus degree weather, which makes natural cooling take even longer. To avoid scalding the stomach and unnecessary digestive issues, the noodles need to be lifted from the soup to let out some heat first.
The people around started to chatter.
"Why is he still dawdling, is he giving up?"
"The noodles are too hot, it seems this young man has no experience in competitive eating challenges, he is only starting to let the noodles cool after the timer begins, isn’t that a pure waste of time?"
"Looks like this challenge will fail again."
"You see the boss’s mouth is almost grinning ear to ear."
"Sigh, let it go, let it go."
Just when everyone was disappointed.
Suddenly.
Wang Ye started slurping up the first mouthful of noodles.
Whoosh!
A large amount of noodles, accompanied by the spicy red oil, was sucked into Wang Ye’s mouth, chewed a couple of times and swallowed into the stomach.
Thanks to his evolved body with more than triple strength in every aspect, his digestive ability also greatly improved. Even food that wasn’t fully chewed being swallowed wouldn’t harm the digestive system.
And the spicy red oil nearly lost its effect on him. The strengthening of the mouth’s mucous membrane made the sensitivity to "spicy" pain greatly reduced. Nowadays, for Wang Ye to feel a noticeable level of spiciness, he’d have to eat chili peppers at hell level. Ordinary small chili peppers barely provide any heat.
Thus, after finishing the first mouthful, not even two seconds passed before he was able to stuff in the second mouthful of noodles. His mouth seemed to turn into a high-speed pulverizing machine, capable of instantly crushing and devouring whatever was thrown in!
A full bowl of snail noodles was finished clean in less than half a minute!
At once.
The crowd was dumbfounded.
The young man who was deliberately cooling the noodles slowly just moments ago.
How did he suddenly become so fierce?
"How long has it been, he’s already started eating the third bowl?"
"Just watching makes my stomach feel full."
"I guess I’d have to rest after half a bowl, this snail noodle portion is too large."
"No doubt about it, this young man must be a professional! A professional competitive eater!"
The boss standing nearby as the challenge referee was also stunned.
Only a few people in the past five days of holding the event managed to succeed.
Every successful challenger was famed on the internet as competitive eating influencers.
The original intention of hosting this event was not to let people easily succeed but to use this setup to gain hype on platforms like Douyin, attracting more capable influencers to challenge.
Clearly, this young man before him was by no means a food influencer.
"Perhaps this could also be a unique hotspot!" The boss’s eyes suddenly widened.
An ordinary passerby, definitely not a food influencer, effortlessly completed the hell-level eating challenge and even outperformed many capable competitive eating influencers. Isn’t that a perfect gimmick?
At this moment.
Wang Ye was still rapidly slurping up the snail noodles in front of him. Five minutes had passed, and he was already slurping the seventh bowl. His stomach was filled to about sixty percent capacity. It was estimated that after finishing all ten bowls, he would reach ninety percent full.
Although not overly stuffed.
Being able to reach ninety percent full for Wang Ye indicated that this competitive eating challenge was indeed of high caliber. It’s noteworthy that Wang Ye could consume up to ten thousand calories in one go after exercising.
While slurping noodles.
He glanced up at the timer, by now it was over six minutes.
According to the event rules, if he could finish the ten bowls of snail noodles within ten minutes, he’d receive two boxes of noodles. Additionally, he could earn an extra box by assisting the boss with video shooting. In total, it’d be three boxes of noodles.
At least enough to feed Wang Ye for several days.
Thinking of this, Wang Ye couldn’t help but feel excited, increasing his slurping speed even further.
A large quantity of noodles was sucked into his mouth, swallowed directly without chewing.
Wang Ye’s belly visibly expanded.
Leaving onlookers worried.
But only Wang Ye could clearly feel that while eating, his stomach acid also rapidly secreted, resembling magma at the bottom of a volcano, melting and decomposing all the food, turning it into continuous nutritional flow poured into his limbs and bones.
Meanwhile, the muscle damage caused by recent weightlifting started to recover quickly. If anyone could see the cross-sectional anatomy inside Wang Ye’s body right now, they’d clearly see each muscle fiber being infused with a massive amount of nutrients, recovering from shriveled and damaged state, and continually swelling thicker.
Finally.
Wang Ye swallowed all ten bowls of snail noodles and drank a few gulps of the red oil soup to soothe his throat.
The timer froze at 7:56.
Wang Ye pulled out a napkin and elegantly wiped his mouth.
The boss then excitedly shouted.
"Let’s congratulate this gentleman for passing the store’s competitive eating challenge and earning this event’s top reward—free meal + three boxes of noodles!"
