Oh no, it looks like I'm out of the first prize!
This thought wasn't just on the minds of the customers present, but also in Xu An's. Even the wisest can make a mistake; he hadn't expected such a monster to exist in Haishi, eating the hot pot without batting an eye. Judging by his expression, eating two more wouldn't be a problem. The opening event had only been going on for a little over an hour, and the first prize was already gone?
Xu An's pained expression was honestly captured by the camera. Several people on the field noticed the change in Xu An's expression and couldn't help but chuckle, sharing their observation with their friends. The message was quickly passed from one to two, then to three, then to four, until most people on the field knew about Xu An's fleeting moment of pain.

Then, he opened his mouth wide, giving everyone and Xu An a 360-degree demonstration, indicating that he had truly swallowed it and hadn't faked it.

Nearby shopkeepers and passersby were also drawn by the applause and came to see what was happening. Xie Yuting quickly walked in, holding a huge camera, and focused the lens on the tall, thin middle-aged man's wide-open mouth.
