Chapter 1761 The Most Boring Game

The restaurant here is definitely the busiest restaurant Xiao Peng has ever seen in Russia: even busier than the 'Opening Day' restaurant in Noyabrsk!

On the opening day, at most there was some dancing at the restaurant, but here? It was basically filled with cheers and screams.

The reason why this place is so lively is that a competition that Xiao Peng considers to be the "most boring in history" is being held here - a slapping competition.

Some people may not believe it, but the hottest and most popular competition in Russia right now is: slapping competition.

This game is probably the simplest and most boring in the world: two people stand across a table, flip a coin to decide who goes first, and then the game proceeds like you slap me, I slap you, and once the bleeding is done, we continue… until one of us gives up. Afterward, they shake hands, a truly harmonious and joyful scene.

Well, are there any rules? Yes, when hitting someone, you can't hit the temples, neck, or ears. You have to hit them accurately in the face. The person being hit can't dodge, they have to take it. If they dodge, it counts as a foul - even if they dodge subconsciously.

Add a handshake after the slap (if they're still sober) and there are no other rules. Then you watch the two people fight as hard as they can. Whoever can stay sober to the end wins the prize. If both parties can last five rounds (some fights are seven) without either lying down or admitting defeat, the prize money is split equally.

Don’t think that this is just a niche competition. Now in Russia, the "Slap Contest" has developed into a national event held regularly every year, with a rich prize pool. There is even a "Russian Slap National Competition" known as the "Fighting Nation Super Bowl"!

Oh, and Vasily Kamosky.

This Kamoskiy was the grand champion of the first Russian National Slapping Competition. Nicknamed "Dumpling" for his love of pelmeni, his other nickname is even more endearing: "The Slap God." His matches are incredibly brutal, essentially one slap per opponent. He's unrivaled in his slapping style. In 2019, Kamoskiy made headlines in Russia after being knocked unconscious by Vyacheslav.

Why is he so strong? How can he not be strong with a weight of 330 kilograms?

And the interesting thing is: this fighting style of the nation has even crossed the ocean to the United States, and now there are many people who like this "sport" there - I hope this can be considered a sport.

And their love for this sport is related to an internet celebrity.

This internet celebrity is Logan Paul, nicknamed "Splits Guy." His popularity is somewhat baffling to Xiao Peng; he gained popularity through a series of videos of himself suddenly performing splits in various public settings. However, in Xiao Peng's eyes, the main reason for his popularity is his good looks—looks speak louder than words!

Look at his girlfriends, they are basically all big stars - he even had a relationship with Wang Ching-ying from "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."

He's a real internet sensation in North America: practically everyone there knows him, a true internet celebrity. He's even boxed with Floyd Mayweather, challenged Conor McGregor to a fight, and has been appearing in WWE stories lately.

The slapping contest in North America actually has something to do with Logan Paul: Logan Paul saw the slapping video of Kamowski and expressed his dissatisfaction and wanted to challenge Kamowski.

Logan Paul is not the kind of person who just talks but does nothing. He directly used his "money power" to hire a professional team to help him train, and gave him a full range of training from striking power to ability to withstand blows.

Then……

Three days before the agreed time, Logan Paul announced his withdrawal from the competition, citing the fact that he did not want to participate in any event that would cause serious harm to the contestants.

However, it is estimated that someone showed him a training video of Kamoski, which led to his direct withdrawal from the competition. Kamoski's training was extremely simple, just smashing a watermelon with a slap - the kind that turns it into water.

But no matter what, the Americans also know the fun of this "slapping" competition. You can often see two people in the bar slapping the table with their hands. They are either fighting or competing in slapping each other.

The slapping competition in this restaurant is certainly not a national competition. It just randomly picks two people to slap them, and then someone sits next to them and places bets. 5% of the total bet amount is considered the contestant's prize money.

However, two grown men slapping each other really couldn't make the people in the restaurant excited. The reason they were so excited was because there was a women's competition on the scene.

What could be more satisfying for these rough, drunken men than watching scantily clad women slap each other?

Yes, there is one, and that is the "Spanking Contest", a development model of the "Slap Contest".

This competition is simpler. Only women can participate. They slap each other's buttocks, and the winner is determined by whoever loses balance or is knocked down first.

Xiao Peng and Kaxin were indifferent to the competition due to the epidemic, and felt that the caviar here was not as delicious.

The caviar here even tastes better than the caviar in Murmansk!

The caviar here comes from Sabetta.

What many people don't know is that there's actually a river that connects Bactria directly to the Arctic. This river is the Ob River, known as the Irtysh River in China. In theory, Bactria's goods could be transported directly to the Arctic via this river. However, this route is hampered by harsh conditions, making it inaccessible nearly half the year.

Sabetta is located right next to the mouth of the Ob River.

Now it should be called "Sabetta Port": in 2012, a port was invested and built there for the "Yamal LNG Project" jointly undertaken by Bactria and Russia.

That is also Xiao Peng’s destination.

Gregory was so excited watching the slapping contest over there that he didn't even bother to eat and hurriedly placed his bets, then kept cheering and shouting from the sidelines.

Xiao Peng and the others didn't pay attention to the two girls spanking each other. At this time, the waiter had already served the food.

He ordered a sauerkraut stew, which was pork, sausage, and the like on a pile of sauerkraut.

"I never thought I would see this dish here." Xiao Peng exclaimed.

This is not a Russian dish but a German dish from Alsace. This region originally belonged to Germany, but was later given to France, then taken back by Germany, then taken back by France, then taken back by Germany, and finally became French territory again after the defeat in World War II. The story of "The Last Lesson" that we learned in school took place there.

But it’s not surprising to eat this dish here, after all, there was no shortage of German prisoners of war in Vorkuta.

Xiao Peng was just about to try it to see how it tasted when a cold snort came from the table next to him: "Daxia people are such shameless thieves!"

"Um?"

Xiao Peng was a little confused. Who did I offend by having a meal?
