"Ahem, I have a feeling something's fishy going on here. What if this thing can't even last 100 seconds?"
"I don't think so. They were hanging for the first 90 seconds without any problems!"
"Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only 100 seconds; hanging up there is actually quite physically demanding, so it's understandable that you might slip up in the end..."
Amidst the murmurs of the audience, the dark-faced stall owner offered some words of comfort to the person who had failed the challenge.
Putting the facts aside, the stall owner seemed even more frustrated than the challenger. If it weren't for the principle that 'rules are rules,' he would have given the 1,000 yuan prize directly to the challenger!
After the second challenger failed, another person took on the challenge for the 1,000 yuan prize.
Unfortunately, without exception, not a single person could hold the position on the horizontal bar for 100 seconds.
The weaker ones could only hang on the horizontal bar for sixty or seventy seconds before running out of strength and falling down, while the stronger ones, like the first two challengers, couldn't even last the last 10 seconds of the countdown.
As a result, the atmosphere among the crowd gradually cooled down.
Seeing that no one else had taken the challenge for a while, Xu Lu stepped forward, ready to give it a try, since the 1,000 yuan prize was still very attractive to him.
But at that moment, an unassuming man stepped forward from the crowd and addressed the stall owner:
"Boss, let me give it a try. It looked pretty simple just now. I just need to persevere a little longer at the end!"
Seeing someone come out, the dark-faced stall owner remained enthusiastic, nodding repeatedly and saying with a look of agreement:
"That's right. If you can get through the first 90 seconds, you have to hold on for the last 10 seconds no matter how tired you are."
"Sigh, I'm just waiting for the first person to win this 1000 yuan prize. I wonder who will take it."
As they were talking, the man began his challenge, and the stall owner restarted the timer.
However, because so many people had failed before, the onlookers weren't as excited this time.
It wasn't until the countdown reached its final 10 seconds that everyone perked up a little.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6... 3, 2, 1...
"Congratulations! You are the first successful challenger!"
While the crowd was still somewhat bewildered, the dark-faced stall owner was the first to rush to the challenger's side and excitedly announced loudly.
That's right! This challenger actually managed to hang on the horizontal bar for 100 seconds, and the stall owner has already pulled out 1,000 yuan in cash.
