Chapter 1002: Chapter 28 Jason: How do I impersonate to make myself look like an ordinary person?

Eating Contest?

Jason was momentarily stunned upon hearing such an invite.

It felt both familiar and foreign.

Back in his ‘hometown,’ he had watched similar competitions.

Seeing those contestants, strong as bulls, devouring a hundred hot dogs or fifty burgers.

Of course, most of them failed.

Success was rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

However, it attracted enough attention, making a killing for the businesses.

Because not only did the audience get their appetites whetted, enhancing the effect of advertisements, the contestants usually had to pay a hefty entry fee.

If they won, the return was significant.

But most of the time, they lost.

Hence, the businesses were the true winners.

After arriving at ‘Nightless City’, those leisure days had long left Jason.

Even thinking about such things was beyond him.

He was afraid.

Afraid that longing too much for his ‘hometown’ days would hinder his survival in ‘Nightless City.’

Without experiencing light.

One wouldn’t comprehend the terror of darkness.

Although most of the time, reminiscing about returning to his ‘hometown’ was the strength that kept Jason going in ‘Nightless City.’

He used the thought of ‘going home’ to reassure himself of hope.

Telling himself, he had to survive.

To return.

Everything was endurable.

Isn’t it contradictory?

Humans are inherently contradictory.

This contradiction is like two hedgehogs cuddling for warmth.

Too close, they hurt each other.

Too far, and they can’t keep warm.

So, there must be a ‘degree’ to maintain.

Jason had been doing just that.

In ‘Nightless City,’ he strictly controlled himself, reminiscing about his ‘hometown’ just once a week.

Anything more?

He would exhaust himself through various practice routines.

So tired he couldn’t recall anything.

Naturally, this weekly remembrance became the happiest moment for Jason in that week.

Even, in a way, it was like a reward.

Because of this reward, Jason survived those most challenging days.

With hope, he could endure the days.

Jason knew this better than anyone.

Therefore, at this moment, Jason was somewhat bewildered.

This bewilderment caused some misunderstanding for the inquiring staff member.

“Sir, this challenge is to eat 100 hamburgers!”

“The entry fee is only 50!”

“If you finish within the stipulated time, you get 500 dollars!”

“And if you win the championship, you can win the cumulative prize from the first to the 33rd round: 66,000 dollars!”

The staff member’s tone was seductive, especially when mentioning the figures, emphasizing them.

Great rewards bring forth brave souls!

This principle is universal.

If there are no brave souls?

Then the reward isn’t enticing enough!

Of course, we must select appropriately.

You can’t find a lion in a flock of sheep, just as you can’t expect a skinny person to participate in an eating contest.

So, seeing Jason, the staff member approached him.

Tall, strong, he looked capable of eating a lot.

Just like the contestants he had been scouting.

However, like before, he didn’t think Jason could eat 100 hamburgers within 20 minutes.

In fact, since the onset of this eating contest, no one has been able to do it.

It’s just a promotional gimmick!

This time?

No exception.

“Stipulated time?”

Jason raised an eyebrow.

Can I keep eating during the stipulated time?

If so, can I eat 10 at a time? Or 20?

Would that be too terrifying?

Could it cause unnecessary trouble?

Jason thought.

And hearing Jason’s question, the staff member misunderstood again.

“Yes, 20 minutes.”

This time, his answer was lethargic.

In the face of such high rewards, to still inquire calmly about the specific time equates to a cool-headed person.

Such people, with a bit of analysis, would detect the gimmick.

Naturally, they wouldn’t participate.

And he would lose the 5 dollars per head reward.

As the staff member sighed inwardly, Jason spoke up again.

“Can I keep eating within those 20 minutes?”

Jason asked.

“Of course!”

“You can eat as much as you can within 20 minutes!”

The staff confidently nodded.

Within 20 minutes, one could eat as many of the 100 burgers as possible.

As for finishing them?

The staff thought for a moment, then quickly shook his head.

Impossible!

He had seen some formidable competitive eaters, and even they couldn’t do it.

Jason might be tall and strong, but that didn’t mean he could eat.

“Good.”

“I’ll participate.”

Saying this, Jason took out 50 dollars.

The staff looked at the 50 dollars before him, blinking in surprise.

He thought he was going to fail this time.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn.

“Are you sure?”

The staff asked.

“Sure.”

Jason answered.

“We have to sign an agreement, and if you fail, the entry fee is non-refundable.”

The staff reminded.

“Will what you just said about ‘continuously eating within 20 minutes’ also be written in?”

Jason asked.

“Of course.”

“That’s the rule.”

The staff affirmed.

“Good.”

“I like places with rules.”

Jason smirked.

“Please follow me, we’ll sign the agreement immediately.”

“You have about half an hour left to prepare.”

Seemingly worried that Jason might back out, the staff spoke very quickly and led Jason towards the ‘Gourmet Row’ inside.
