NOVPUBIn the resting room, Wu Bin sat on a stool while Xu Qian and Han Jiaoyan wiped his sweat and fed him water from both sides.
Although Wu Bin repeatedly refused, saying he had hands and feet and didn’t need anyone to wait on him,
Han Jiaoyan spoke with righteous severity, "Wu Bin, you need to conserve your energy right now. If you can avoid moving, do so. You still have the shot put event coming up."
Xu Qian also nodded on the side, simply saying, "Don’t move."
Wu Bin couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.
These two women were really treating him like a national treasure.
Meanwhile, the fans in the live stream were boiling with excitement.
"Damn, I just knew my bro Wu wasn’t ordinary. Without any training, he casually broke a world record. That’s freakin’ awesome!"
"Wait a sec, guys, have you noticed that Wu seems to get stronger after every illness?"
"To the guy above, you’re just jealous because Wu looks handsome, but don’t be disheartened. At least Wu breaks easier than you. Does thinking that make you feel a bit better?"
Wu Bin had been watched by the live stream’s viewers as he grew up.
It felt like raising a digital pet that initially breaks down easily, always ending up in hospital.
Only now, not only does it not break down easily, but it also broke a world record!
Tell me, are you excited or what!
For a moment, viewers in the live stream began to furiously send gifts.
All sorts of rockets and sports cars, they were sent like they were free.
Are you kidding? My bro Wu just broke a world record; maybe the next Olympic sprint gold medal will be his.
Watching the continuously rising amount of gifts in the live stream, He Bingbing also covered her mouth, utterly astonished.
She even thought the live stream had malfunctioned, and hurriedly called the backstage staff to confirm.
Meanwhile, in the exchange student resting area.
Unable to handle the shock and having accepted the loss, Hendi had already left for the airport from the agricultural university.
Originally, these exchange students were all very arrogant and confident.
After all, they were professional sports specialists deliberately sent by Michigan.
Well, look at them now.
They were shattered in the first competition by a guy with no training at all.
Seeing the exchange students’ morale sinking, the person in charge, Hansen, clapped his hands to invigorate everyone.
"Okay, everyone, adjust your mindset," he encouraged.
"It’s common to encounter such situations on the sports field," he explained.
"You think your opponent is a weakling, but he turns out to be an expert," he pointed out.
"But so what? Don’t forget what I taught you before. Once on the battlefield, you have only one opponent, and that’s yourself. The only person you need to defeat is yourself!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, perk up and show these people from Dragon Country the spirit of our athletes from America!"
Hansen was indeed great at boosting morale.
Initially, the exchange students’ morale was about to collapse, but Hansen’s pep talk rekindled their confidence!
"That’s right, it’s just running fast. I don’t believe he’s good at every single event!"
"What’s the kid’s next event again?"
"Shot put."
Upon hearing that the next event was shot put, everyone burst into laughter.
"Robert, do you think you can win?"
The man named Robert sat in a chair, flexing his arm muscles for all to see.
Robert’s arm muscles were like swollen balloons, puffing up significantly, clearly showing he was a contender of immense strength.
In contrast, Wu Bin, whether in stature or his pre-game warm-ups, clearly looked like a novice.
Robert couldn’t understand how such a novice dared to participate in the shot put event.
After all, it was a contest of strength, where speed mattered little.
Robert had already decided that he would definitely defeat Wu Bin in a spectacular fashion in this event, securing this precious point for Michigan!
"Athletes participating in the shot put, please get ready and enter in sequence."
Following the referee’s command, Wu Bin, Robert, and others made their appearance one by one.
As fate would have it, Robert and Wu Bin were scheduled to appear one after the other.
That meant that right after Robert had his turn at throwing the shot put, it would be Wu Bin’s turn.
Thinking about how Wu Bin had embarrassed Hendi previously, Robert couldn’t control his emotions any longer and taunted, "Yellow monkey, it’s still not too late for you to give up. You’ve somehow managed to snatch one championship already, giving up now won’t be a disgrace."
It was obvious that Robert was trying to provoke him.
If he had truly wanted Wu Bin to forfeit, he wouldn’t have loudly provoked him in front of the cameras.
Unexpectedly, faced with Robert who was almost a size larger in build, Wu Bin did not retreat but calmly responded.
"This isn’t a contest of who can trash talk better. Don’t let your muscles fool you; they’re just dead weight and totally useless."
"But seeing how cocky you are, I’ll take you up on a bet. If I lose, I’ll admit I’m the sick man of East Asia. But if you lose, you have to kneel down and kowtow three times to me."
First calling his muscles ’dead weight,’ Wu Bin left Robert bewildered.
Following up with a bet only fueled Robert’s anger. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
It’s undeniable that Wu Bin had a grip on manipulating emotions.
An irate Robert didn’t think twice as he snapped back, "Okay! I accept this bet!"
Hansen, the facilitator, clasped his forehead, feeling his migraine kicking in again.
Although he didn’t know exactly what trap Wu Bin was setting, after briefly interacting with him, Hansen understood that this delicate-looking college student was no simpleton.
When it came to mental games, ten Roberts were no match for Wu Bin.
It was unfortunate that Robert was too quick to speak.
He couldn’t even mediate in time, and the bet was established in front of a live audience.
"Next up, Robert."
Upon hearing his name called by the referee, Robert took his time and casually made his entrance.
The students from the Agricultural University, spotting yet another foreigner, booed and jeered in unison.
But Robert maintained a polite smile throughout.
Hansen was very pleased with Robert’s demeanor.
"It seems this young man has grasped the importance of ’When in Rome, do as the Romans do’—focusing on his own performance regardless of others’ views."
Not arguing, not getting physical.
This was what Hansen had stressed repeatedly before.
Now it appeared Robert had taken it to heart.
"Mr. Robert, please get ready."
The judge called out, and Robert raised his hand to indicate he heard, then moved to a small box beside him where he applied some anti-slip powder.
Having made all the necessary preparations, Robert bent down to pick up the shot put.
