"Are you done or not?" Eveleigh roared.
"Wait, I'm collecting money. Oh, what's your name?" Chen Zhao wrote it down.
"Pete."
"Okay, Pete, two hundred dollars."
"If you lose, you'll pay us, right?"
"Of course. There's so many of you. I can't go back on my word, right?"
Chen Zhao had already collected more than $1,000. Seeing that no one else was betting, he put the money away.
Chen Zhao retreated 30 meters. He ran, sprinted, and jumped.
Chen Zhao's body drew an arc in the air and landed steadily in the sandpit.
"7.51 meters."
Everyone stared at Chen Zhao, dumbfounded. They didn't move for a long time.
"No, that's impossible. You cheated." Eveleigh didn't understand. She subconsciously felt that Chen Zhao was cheating, but it didn't seem possible in front of everyone. "Did you step on the line?"
"Go see for yourself."
The starting line was drawn in gray. It was easy to see if he'd stepped on the line.
"Maybe you crossed the line." Eveleigh was still stubborn, unwilling to accept reality.
"Okay, it's boring to cheat. I won, right?"
Bob looked as if he had lost his soul. Lost?
He lost?
He'd actually lost to an average-sized Asian who was 15 centimeters shorter than him?
"Wait … I didn't admit defeat," Bob suddenly yelled. Bob suddenly shouted, "Since this is a regular competition, I should still have one more chance."
Chen Zhao shrugged and made an inviting gesture. "Go ahead."
Chen Zhao sat at the side, counting a stack of money.
Seeing Chen Zhao's despicable look, everyone wanted to beat him up.
Bob jumped again. 7.42 meters, but he still couldn't surpass Chen Zhao's record.
Bob sat in the sandpit, unwilling to get up.
He was too shocked, and the other students didn't have time to comfort him.
They were all provoked by Chen Zhao. After counting the money, Chen Zhao's face was filled with satisfaction. "Not bad, $2,120. Thank you, Eveleigh."
Eveleigh gritted her teeth and stared at Chen Zhao. Her eyes were filled with dangerous red light.
"The second competition is a 10,000-meter run. Do you dare?"
"Anyone?" Chen Zhao asked.
Hearing this, Eveleigh felt even angrier.
"Grint, come here."
Grint was a slightly slender black man, but when he took off his jacket, everyone could see his well-defined muscles.
This was what it meant to look skinny with clothes on, but fleshy without.
"Grint, don't lose to him!" Eveleigh shouted.
"Eveleigh, don't worry. I won't lose to an amateur," Grinth said while glancing at Bob. It seemed like they had a personal grudge.
"How about five thousand? Ten thousand is too far. I don't even know if I can run ten thousand meters," Chen Zhao said, his face full of awkwardness.
"You don't have a choice. Either you stand at the starting line or you admit defeat."
"No one wants to bet? I have no motivation at all. " "Plus, I just finished the long jump. I feel really tired. I need to rest. Wait for me for half an hour."
"Rest for half an hour? Impossible! Get up and run right now! "
"No, I'm tired."
"I'll bet $2,000," Eveleigh said, gritting her teeth.
Chen Zhao immediately stood up. "Does anyone else want to bet?"
Peter, who'd lost $200 earlier, walked up hesitantly. "You'll lose this time, right?"
"Come on, track and field has always been Asian's weakness. Also, do I look like a professional athlete? I might not even be able to run five thousand meters. "
"Fine, I'll bet another $200." Peter made up his mind and took out $200.
"That much?" Chen Zhao frowned.
"Can't I?"
"I'm afraid that the money I won just now isn't enough," Chen Zhao said, troubled.
"I'll bet too."
"Me too. I'll bet $100."
Indeed, these kids who hadn't entered society were too naive.
Chen Zhao collected another 1200 dollars in bits and pieces.
He took off his jacket and pulled up his sleeves, starting to do small exercises again.
"Hurry up and get ready. Grint's been waiting for you."
Chen Zhao finally went to the starting line unwillingly. He glanced at Grint. "Hey, how about letting me win later? If I win, I'll give you half."
Grint glanced at Chen Zhao coldly. "Don't even think about it."
"So boring."
Eveleigh held the gun. "Get ready. Don't talk."
Eveleigh really wanted to point the gun at Chen Zhao and shoot him in the head.
Bang!
Chen Zhao and Grint started running at the same time. Chen Zhao ran side by side with Grint. He followed Grint's speed.
Grint sneered. Running side by side with him? Look at your own stamina.
He could run three thousand meters at this speed, but it didn't mean others could.
Long-distance running was a sport that tested tactics. If the tactics were used well and suited the athlete's characteristics, they'd naturally get good results.
If they used the wrong tactics, they might not even be able to run ten thousand meters.
"Grint, go!"
"Grint, go!"
All the students were cheering for Grint.
Grint was even more excited. However, after two laps, he realized that Chen Zhao was still beside him.
He had an idea. He'd trick Chen Zhao's stamina first.
Thinking of this, Grint immediately sped up.
As expected, Chen Zhao also sped up.
Grint snickered inwardly. Amateurs were indeed amateurs. Chen Zhao was tricked so easily.
If Chen Zhao was a professional athlete, he definitely wouldn't be distracted by other athletes and change his tactics.
However, after speeding up three laps, Chen Zhao was still closely following Grint. He wasn't shaken off at all.
On the other hand, Grint's stamina dropped because he messed up his running tactics first.
But it didn't matter. Grint felt that Chen Zhao wouldn't be able to last long.
Maybe he'd collapse from exhaustion in the next lap or the lap after that.
"Are you tired? Do you want to stop and rest together? "
Grinth ignored Chen Zhao. Talking at a time like this was simply asking for death.
"Phew … I'm so tired. I feel like I'm going to collapse."
Chen Zhao was still chattering. "Can you take a look at my hair? Is it messed up?"
While running, Chen Zhao fixed his hair. Grint was so angry that he almost laughed.
"I feel like I'm going to collapse after two laps, no, one lap." Chen Zhao's breathing became heavy. "How did you run? Why is your breathing so smooth?"
"Have you been to China? If you have the chance, you must go to China. It's a great place … "
"Oh, I saw on TV that you can drink water during a race, right?"
"That's a marathon," Grint finally said.
"You finally spoke. I thought you were mute."
You're the mute! Your whole family is mute!
