Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 230 Challenge
After listening to Shen Siyuan's story, Ruan Hongzhuang asked curiously, "So, what is his wish?"

"He asked me to help him plant three trees by the Zhuxi River near his home, and also to help him mail some letters." Shen Siyuan said.

"I can understand sending a letter, but what does planting three trees mean?" Ruan Hongzhuang was a little curious.

"I'm not sure, but I think it has some special meaning." Shen Siyuan said.

The two walked forward, and then a group of people gathered together, which caught their attention.

Since they were just strolling around, the two of them came over curiously.

But I saw two people standing in the crowd, a man and a woman.

The man was of sturdy build, and judging from his bulging muscles, he was obviously involved in the fitness circle.

As for the woman, she was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and her towering breasts and white thighs were very attractive.

She held high a sign in her hand that read, "National Fitness, 100KG Dumbbells, One-Handed Challenge Competition."

The burly man shouted to the crowd around him: "Is there anyone who wants to try? Just lift this 100KG dumbbell and you will get a bonus of 2000 yuan."

Shen Siyuan took a look and prepared to pull Ruan Hongzhuang away.

But Ruan Hongzhuang seemed very excited. She knew that Shen Siyuan was very strong, which was a bit unbelievable.

When the two of them played poker, he could hold her in his arms the whole time and do all kinds of tricks without even touching the ground.

Ruan Hongzhuang is 60 meters tall and has a plump figure, so her weight has always hovered around kilograms.

Although he couldn't catch up with the dumbbells in front of him, Shen Siyuan was able to last for a long time and still had the energy to play some tricks, which meant that he not only had some spare energy, but also a lot of it.

Just then, a young man in a white T-shirt stepped forward and said he would accept the challenge.

Looking at the muscles in the young man's arms, it was obvious that he had exercised.

"I'm from a nearby sports school. I don't do much fitness, but I like playing basketball," said the young man.

The burly man was also very happy and didn't ask too many questions. He just handed the young guy a bottle of anti-slip powder.

The guy poured some anti-slip powder on his hands and rubbed them, then bent over and picked up the dumbbells.

At first, when the young man said he was from a sports school, everyone had some hope for him. But when he tried several times, the dumbbells didn't move at all, and everyone was disappointed.

The burly man was very proud when he saw this, and shouted to the people around him again.

"Boys can use one hand, and girls can use both hands. If any beautiful girl wants to come up and try, as long as she can lift the dumbbells with both hands, I will also reward her with 2000 yuan."

"Do you want to go up and try it?" Shen Siyuan asked.

Ruan Hongzhuang glanced at him and said, "I don't want to. Just for 2000 yuan, I will go up there and be made a fool of by others?"

"So you're still staying to watch?"

"I like watching others perform tricks." Ruan Hongzhuang said with a smile.

As the two were talking, a man wearing a black T-shirt and with tattoos on his arms walked up to them.

His muscles are not much smaller than the burly man's.

"Wow, are you here to mess things up?" the burly man laughed.

"Why, you don't dare let me accept the challenge?" Black T-shirt said with a smile.

"What's there to be afraid of? As long as you can lift it, I'll still give you 2000." The burly man said generously, taking out a wad of cash from his pocket.

Ruan Hongzhuang leaned close to Shen Siyuan's ear and whispered, "They are in the same group."

"You know all this?" Shen Siyuan was a little surprised.

"If I don't have this little bit of common sense, how can I do business with others?" Ruan Hongzhuang said with some pride.

"Don't you rely on Jiang Taozhi's network of relationships to do business?" Shen Siyuan deliberately angered her.

As expected, upon hearing this, Ruan Hongzhuang immediately stretched out a two-finger pliers and clamped his waist, but was grabbed by Shen Siyuan, who clasped her fingers tightly and made her unable to move.

So Ruan Hongzhuang could only use her other hand to hit him on the shoulder twice in a coquettish manner to express her dissatisfaction.

While the two were talking, the man in black T-shirt successfully completed the challenge and got 2000 yuan smoothly.

Obviously, the black T-shirt is a hook, which gives many onlookers the illusion that they can do it too.

Then a few more people went up one after another, including migrant workers doing manual labor and office workers wearing glasses and shirts who were obviously sitting in the office.

There was even an old man who wanted to challenge him, which made the burly man a little panicked. He was afraid that the old man would sprain his waist and that 2000 would not be enough to compensate him.

However, this dramatic scene attracted a lot of people to watch.

Of course, everyone’s favorite was a girl in a black miniskirt. She was indeed quite pretty. She used both hands but still failed the challenge.

"Handsome guy, do you want to try it?" At this moment, the burly man suddenly asked Shen Siyuan.

"Me?" Shen Siyuan was a little surprised why the burly man suddenly asked him.

"Yes, I think you have beautiful muscle lines, maybe you can succeed in the challenge."

Although the muscles on Shen Siyuan's arms are not as high as those of bodybuilders, the lines are extremely smooth and beautiful, somewhat like those of people who do physical work, lean and powerful.

The reason why the burly man asked Shen Siyuan was mainly because of Ruan Hongzhuang who was standing next to him.

The main reason was that she was so beautiful and had such a great temperament. As soon as she arrived, she attracted 80% of the attention. People around her kept looking at her, so that fewer people were concentrating on watching her performance.

This made him very unhappy, so he came up to ask Shen Siyuan for a little revenge.

When he saw Shen Siyuan's physique and the shape of his muscles, he didn't think he could succeed in the challenge.

Shen Siyuan was about to refuse, but Ruan Hongzhuang beside him said, "Okay, dear, go up and try."

"Didn't you say you didn't want to be made a fool of yourself?"

"But I also said that I like watching people play with monkeys." Ruan Hongzhuang laughed.

Then he reached out and pushed Shen Siyuan forward.

"Handsome guy, give it a try. Maybe you will succeed in the challenge and get two thousand dollars for free." The burly man said with a smile.

Shen Siyuan turned around and glared at Ruan Hongzhuang who was smiling secretly, then walked towards the dumbbells.

The burly man was right. It would be a waste not to pick up the money that is easily accessible.

The burly man followed and handed the anti-slip powder to Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan shook his head, bent down and reached for the dumbbells.

"Let's see if this brother can succeed in the challenge and take the two thousand dollars from me..."

Before the burly man could finish his words, he saw Shen Siyuan lift up the dumbbell effortlessly.

"Wow~" the burly man exclaimed.

"What do you do? Do you exercise regularly?"

"Ordinary office workers rarely exercise," said Shen Siyuan.

Practicing "Eighteen Phases of a Great Arhat" is cultivation, not fitness, so he speaks very honestly.

The burly man took a look at Ruan Hongzhuang and first of all, he didn't believe that Shen Siyuan was an ordinary office worker.

How can an office worker find such a beautiful and elegant girlfriend? The four-leaf clovers on her neck and hands are all Van Cleef & Arpels. Is this something that an ordinary office worker can afford?
However, the burly man was very happy and directly paid Shen Siyuan 2000 yuan.

But he didn't give up, and continued: "Handsome boy, I see it's easier for you to lift it, do you want to challenge again?"

"How do you challenge?" Shen Siyuan asked curiously.

"As long as you hold it up for ten seconds, I'll give you another 2000."

"What if I last twenty seconds?"

"Every ten seconds, I'll add 2000." The burly man said immediately.

Shen Siyuan smiled when he heard this. If that was really the case, he could challenge him until he went bankrupt.

As if afraid that Shen Siyuan would not believe it, the burly man immediately explained the rules to the people around him. The people around him immediately followed suit and clamored for Shen Siyuan to try it. Shen Siyuan heard Ruan Hongzhuang shouting the loudest.

So Shen Siyuan didn't say anything more and picked up the dumbbells again.

Then--

The burly man had a sad face and transferred 10,000 yuan to Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan persisted for fifty seconds, not because he couldn't hold on, but because he didn't want to overdo it, and it was exactly ten thousand yuan.

"Brother, how did you train? I see you don't have big muscles. How did you train?"

"Add me as a friend, we can discuss and exchange ideas when we have time."

The burly man chattered nonstop while transferring money.

"Okay, next time there is such a challenge, please contact me." Shen Siyuan said with a smile.

"Don't come, I beg you." The burly man's voice broke.

The people around burst into laughter when they heard this.

Everyone looked at Ruan Hongzhuang with eyes that seemed to reveal understanding. Such strength and physique were indeed what rich women loved most.

Shen Siyuan pulled Ruan Hongzhuang out of the crowd and said to her with a smile, "Let's go see Tang Tang and the others on Sunday. We have the money to buy them gifts."
