What About Letting My Friend Try?

"Brother Qiang, I've seen your videos!" a passerby said with a laugh.

"Right? We never fake anything. Whoever manages to lift it gets paid. It's that simple. I prepared a lot of cash today. I've always heard that there are plenty of muscular fitness enthusiasts in Modu, so I came here to see whether it's really true!"

"How heavy is that dumbbell?" a passerby asked.

"120 kilograms."

"120... kilograms?"

"Hehe, of course. If it were 120 jin, any average man could lift it. Where would the challenge be in that?"

"Is that your heaviest dumbbell?"

"Not quite. I also have 130-kilogram and 160-kilogram ones, but very few people can lift the 120-kilogram dumbbell, so I'm not bringing out the other two. However, if someone successfully challenges the 120-kilogram one and wants to try something heavier, I can bring them out." The man called Brother Qiang smiled.

"What would the reward be if someone lifted the 160-kilogram one?"

"Haha, although that's somewhat unlikely, since you asked, I'll answer. If anyone successfully lifts both the 120-kilogram and 160-kilogram dumbbells today, I'll reward them 10,000 yuan on the spot!"

After saying that, Brother Qiang paused for a second, then raised his hand and called out, "No, no, no—20,000!"

The crowd instantly erupted.

"Holy crap!"

"Really?!"

"Of course it's real! I have more than three million followers on Douyin, and I'm livestreaming the entire thing. If I couldn't afford to play fair, why would anyone follow me? Right? Haha."

"Alright, alright. So anyone can challenge it?"

"Anyone. It's completely free. If you think you can do it, come on up. The purpose of this challenge is actually to promote fitness for everyone. The men of our Huaguo have to be tough!"

"Well said! Then I'll do it!" A brawny man about 185 centimeters tall
