Targeting and Counter-Killing

When Su Li arrived at the scene, Xia Ke and Xia's Father were already waiting for him!

"What's going on? Why the sudden change in schedule?" Su Li asked.

"I don't know. The big hotels just discussed it among themselves and decided to change it. We only received notification!" Xia Ke was also bewildered. Although this was a privately organized competition, changing the schedule on a whim was really unacceptable!

"Cough, Little Su, Uncle thinks they might be targeting you!" Xia's Father coughed and gave an answer that surprised Su Li.

"Targeting me? Why?"

"Think about it. They put in money and effort to organize this competition, and then you, a dark horse, appeared and threatened the predetermined champion. Can they not target you?"

"How could they do this? It's outrageous!" Before Su Li could say anything, Xia Ke became indignant. However, when she noticed Su Li staring at her, her voice gradually quieted down.

"Uncle Xia, you might be mistaken. I don't think changing the competition to now affects me much!" Su Li asked.

"How could it not affect you? You ate so much this morning, unlike the other qualifiers who only ate a small portion!" Xia's Father continued.

"The current situation is that your condition is only at seventy percent, while others are at one hundred percent!"

"Oh, I see! That's really quite bad!" Su Li nodded, indicating he understood!

The rules of this glutton king competition were actually to see who could eat the most within a specified time. The seeded contestants encountered people who ate moderately, so they naturally wouldn't go all out. How could they be like Su Li, who even drank all the soup!

Of course, Su Li's approach also confirmed to others that he was indeed a newcomer and not there to cause trouble!

"It seems that unwritten rules are everywhere!" Su Li smiled and continued.

"It's also fortunate that I ate a lot this morning. Otherwise, they might have just found an excuse to make me withdraw right now!"

"Sigh, I tried my best to negotiate, but unfortunately, we're just a small restaurant, we can't compete with them!" Xia's Father sighed and didn't say anything further.

"Don't worry, Uncle Xia. The current situation doesn't really have a big impact. I'll do my best!" Su Li comforted them. Although Su Li didn't feel anything himself, comforting them would make Xia Ke and her father feel better, so he didn't find it difficult!

"That's all we can do!" Xia's Father nodded.

Although he was a bit unwilling, Xia's Father wasn't overly upset. In fact, achieving the current results had already exceeded his expectations. One shouldn't be greedy!

After Su Li entered, the competition quickly began. This time, the food was no longer braised noodles but some glutinous rice cakes.

Looking at the plates of glutinous rice cakes being served, Su Li knew for sure that these were definitely aimed at him.

Although these cakes were not large, they were definitely filling. Inexperienced people might feel full after eating just a few.

Su Li was only an amateur contestant. In terms of eating, he couldn't compare to the professionals. Therefore, based on the food alone, Su Li's chances of winning decreased by another point.

Of course, all the above analyses were based on the assumption that Su Li was an ordinary person. But in reality, was Su Li an ordinary person?

So, no matter what underhanded tactics the organizers employed, as long as they still allowed Su Li to participate, the championship would definitely be his!

"Who will be the Donghai Glutton King?"

"Will it be contestant Lin Qi from 'Wufang Pavilion', or Su Li from 'Misty Rain Summer Wind', or perhaps... please stay tuned for the finals of the Donghai Glutton King Championship!"

"..."

To achieve the promotional effect, the host first extensively introduced everyone representing their respective restaurants before the competition. Under the public's gaze, they didn't engage in any underhanded tactics. Misty Rain Summer Wind was also not left behind, it was just a standard performance with no highlights!

Afterward, all the contestants, including Su Li, gave their acceptance speeches, and then, this glutton king competition officially entered its final round!

"The Donghai Glutton King Championship Finals officially begin!"

As the host's words fell, all the contestants present immediately sprang into action.

Among them, Su Li's movements were the most exaggerated.

He suddenly picked up a plate of cakes and poured all of them into his mouth.

Once, twice, thrice...

Chewing slowly three times, Su Li swallowed these almost intact cakes.

"..."

"My god!"

"What a beast! A true master!"

"Nonsense, I think he's too impulsive. He felt good eating like that, but what about next?"

"Hmph, he definitely knows what he's doing. Why are you worried?"

"Bullshit—"

"..."

With Su Li's actions, the audience below was instantly captivated and started discussing.

"Dad, will Su Li be okay eating like that?" Xia Ke asked worriedly.

"Probably!"

Xia's Father shook his head. Logically speaking, this was just a competition, and there was no need to go to such lengths.

But he couldn't quite figure out what young people were thinking!

As everyone below was chattering, Su Li picked up another plate of pastries and swallowed them.

This time, however, he chewed a couple more times, because Su Li found that the pastries tasted surprisingly good, and eating them made most of the gasoline taste in his mouth disappear!

As Su Li's actions continued, some of the contestants also noticed what he was doing.

At first, they had mocked him inwardly, thinking Su Li was showing off. After all, eating like this was the easiest way to not be able to finish, and besides looking impressive, it served no other purpose.

But as Su Li ate plate after plate without interruption, some of them finally changed their expressions. This was because the amount of pastries Su Li had consumed had already exceeded their limits!

In other words, even if Su Li stopped now, their final results wouldn't be better than Su Li's, let alone the fact that Su Li was still eating.

As time passed, Su Li's actions never ceased, but the number of people whose expressions changed grew…

A moment later, all the pastries in front of Su Li had entered his stomach.

This is just a completely different level of strength!

Looking at the empty stack of plates in front of Su Li, everyone present had the same thought.

"Everyone, I concede!" Su Li cupped his hands and then stood in place, waiting.

After a moment of stunned silence, the remaining contestants started moving again. Even though the championship was gone, they still wanted to fight for second place!

Below—

"He wiped them all out? That's too strong!" Xia's Father's expression was a little strange. Su Li had won against everyone without any suspense, something he could never have imagined!

"Mm!" Xia Ke nodded vigorously.
