Exciting 1979!

Chapter 297 Ni Kuang Eats Shit, De Biao Becomes a God

Ni Kuang and his family of three were ready. More and more people gathered around them. Ni Kuang felt like he was standing on a grand stage of life, and his desire to perform was overflowing. He even blew kisses to everyone around him.

Ni Zhen was also eager to try, and he had already noticed that some pretty female students were looking at him with admiration.

Hmph, watch me pull the elephant over, it'll be super awesome.

Then the three members of the Ni family exerted their strength together, but the elephant Tiannu remained completely still.

Ni Kuang, standing at the front, pointed to the red dot and said to Tiannu, "Look, it's a banana!"

Tiannu snorted and then took a step back.

"Ouch!" Ni Zhen, who was at the very back of the rope, stumbled and fell to the ground.

Tiannu took another step back, and Ni Zhen's face stopped two meters forward on the muddy ground.

This scene was captured by reporters from Wen Wei Po and Ta Kung Pao in the crowd; they were very familiar with Ni Kuang.

Tiannu only took three steps back before pulling the Ni family of three to the red line. After winning, it slowly walked to the banana, curled its trunk and put it in its mouth, then stuck out its elephant mouth with its trunk sticking up, making a cheerful "Ooh-hoo! Ooh-hoo!" sound.

The elephants laughed happily, the audience was even happier, the scene was excellent, and the zookeepers and zoo managers were overjoyed.

Only the Ni family was unhappy, especially Ni Zhen. He had just been a handsome young man, but now he had been brutally beaten by the elephant-faced man, his face covered in dirt, looking utterly pathetic.

Damn, thank goodness it was dirt; if it had been cement, I would have been disfigured today.

The zookeeper immediately stepped forward, first affirming the pioneering spirit of Ni Kuang's family, and then asking them if they wanted to take a photo together.

What's the point of taking a picture together? We've completely lost face. The key is that Ni Kuang couldn't let his boastful words go to waste, so he offered his brilliant opinion: "This elephant must have been trained. It's probably already full, which is why it can resist the temptation of bananas. I don't think anyone can beat it, not even 50 people!"

Zookeeper Akun laughed and said, "Sir, isn't that a bit too arbitrary? Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't."

He couldn't let this old rascal scare the other tourists away.

Ni Kuang perked up: "I said no, it's definitely no, I'm putting this out there. If someone can pull up an elephant today, I'd rather eat a kilogram of shit."

This statement caused an uproar, but there were some talented people among the audience.

A middle school student, whose head was the only part of his body visible in the crowd, asked, "Excuse me, do you eat elephant dung?"

"Hahaha!" The crowd burst into laughter again.

Ni Kuang frankly stated, "Elephants are fine too, at least they're fresh."

The atmosphere reached another climax, and Wei Ming, who was mixed in with the crowd, remarked that there were really a lot of fun people in Hong Kong, and that Lao Ni Kuang was really cooperating.

Then the middle school student who had just asked the question walked out of the crowd. He was not tall, had a youthful face, and wore glasses, which made him look refined. However, he was very strong, with a muscular build. Once he took off his school uniform, he was all muscle. He was as strong as a small tank.

At his command, more than twenty young men of similar build jumped out from the crowd.

“We are the bodybuilding team of St. Paul’s Co-educational High School, and we want to take on the challenge.”

St. Paul's Co-educational College is a prestigious school in Hong Kong, having produced famous singers and artists such as Michael Kwan and Danny Chan. Both of Li Ka-shing's sons also attended the school.

Seeing so many strong and energetic young men, Ah Kun perked up: "How many of you are there?"

"26 people!"

Ah Kun said, "Then let's say you get five bunches of bananas."

Ni Kuang, standing to the side, scoffed, "A mere 26 people, you have no chance."

He was still waiting for the outcome, but his proud son, Ni Zhen, had already left in a huff, fearing that his father would be unable to bear the consequences and that his son would have to "pay the price" for his father's debts.

Wei Ming said to Zhen Zidan beside him, "These muscles are pretty good. You can't compare to them. You still need to work out."

Zhen Zidan scoffed, "They can't compare to Brother Biao."

Danzi is now a die-hard fan of Biaozi, and these 26 fit young men are definitely no match for an adult elephant. But Lao Gui gave Tiannu a wink, and it let out a "woo" and, with the combined effort of the 26 men, actually moved forward a small step.

The entire stadium erupted in cheers, and other spectators also shouted for the 26 young men, as if they could already see the dawn of victory.

The crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger; Liyuan Zoo hadn't been this lively in a long time.

At this moment, a bald man, surrounded by a group of people, also ran over to join in the fun.

"What's going on here?" he asked the person in front of him, only to find out that it was a tug-of-war between a person and an elephant, and the winner could get a monthly pass.

At this point, Tiannu and the 26 warriors were locked in a stalemate for a while. Tiannu stopped pulling back and began to pull the rope tied to his front leg backward.

One step, two steps, three steps, Tiannu won again. However, the young men still won the respect of the audience, and a few female students even flirted with the bespectacled guy in the lead.

Finally, they happily took a group photo with Tiannu, laughing heartily. The audience was deeply moved. This youthful vigor was truly precious. It felt like even though they didn't win, they were happy just to participate.

And every time Tiannu wins, it laughs loudly in celebration, having been here for over twenty years, it seems like it hasn't been this happy in a long time.

Caught up in this atmosphere, tourists joined in the tug-of-war, with groups ranging from four or five people to twenty or thirty, though most of the twenty or thirty-person groups were temporary.

Seeing that the time was right, Wei Ming said to Zhen Zidan and the others, "It's getting late, let's get ready to go on stage."

"Excuse me, could you move aside?" Wei Ming had just finished speaking when a bald, bearded man walked up to the registration area.

"My brothers and I want to sign up, give me ten bunches of bananas."

"Ten of them!?"

That would be 50 people! Other tourists looked over and made way. A group of gangsters walked over. They were easily distinguished from normal tourists by their clothing, hair color, and tattoos. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were there to seize territory and collect protection money.

The bald, bearded man said smugly, "When I, Brother Yong, am out in the game, the two most important things are: loyalty and having many brothers."

Wei Ming thought to himself: Isn't it about sleeping with his sister-in-law?
Just then, someone nearby whispered, "Where did these gangsters come from?"

Someone replied, "It looks like Bearded Yung from Yau Ma Tei."

"Never heard of it?"

"Just a nobody, nobody. He can't even compare to Crippled Ho or Broken Tooth Koi."

However, Yong Ge did bring a team of 50 people, which contributed a lot of tickets to Liyuan, making it the most spectacular competition to date.

Zookeeper and host Ah Kun said that after this challenge, there will only be one more competition: "Because Tiannu has eaten his fill of bananas, and we have run out of bananas."

These 50 people had brightly colored hair and varied appearances. They were both men and women. Although they didn't look very strong, they were particularly fierce and had a ruthless air about them. Some of them were even super fat, which gave the audience the illusion that "maybe they can do it."

However, this is not possible, because elephants walk on all fours and have an extremely stable chassis. Even humans of equal weight cannot move an elephant, let alone 50 of them, whose combined weight is less than that of an elephant.

But Tiannu still gave them enough respect, and symbolically made a show of exertion, even taking a small step forward, then letting out a howl and struggling to walk backward, which was actually not difficult at all.

This was the longest tug-of-war ever, but the battle was still resolved within a minute, with Elephant Tiannu winning!

"Alright, Tiannu has eaten so many bananas that he feels like throwing up whenever he sees yellow ones, and we only have one banana left. Let's welcome the last group of contestants."

Then three people wearing the same outfit appeared on the field, with the words "Heroes have always emerged from among the young" written on their clothes.

The slogans were inspiring, but they didn't seem to have any real substance. Liu Rulong was just over 1.7 meters tall, Zhen Zidan was less than 1.7 meters tall, and as for Xiao Wujing, he was just over 1 meter tall. Nobody treated him like a human being.

With these three people, the outcome was inevitable. Everyone felt there was no excitement left to watch. If the previous 50 people had been placed at the end, it would have been a perfect ending. Now, however, there's a slight sense of regret.

Ni Kuang had already started showing off to the people next to him who recognized him: "What did I tell you? How could a human possibly outmaneuver a well-trained elephant? I definitely won't get to eat this shit. It's a pity I didn't get any good luck back then."

"Haha, Mr. Ni is right," the reporter from Ta Kung Pao said evasively.

At first, Zhen Zidan, Liu Rulong, and Wu Jing were indeed no match for Tiannu, and were dragged forward several steps by the elephant.

However, just as they were about to be pulled to the red line, a burly man dressed in the same clothes as them suddenly ran over and shouted, "Why didn't you wait for me, Zhao Debiao!"

He then wrapped the long rope around himself and pulled it backward sharply.

Biaozi's entrance was quite remarkable. He started with a loud shout that immediately grabbed everyone's attention. Although it was in Mandarin, it was very clear, and most people in the audience heard and understood it.

Then comes the presentation.

This person is incredibly muscular; he's not only stronger than those middle school students, but also much taller.

Biaozi's height was about the same as Wei Ming's, around 1.83 meters, but standing next to him were A Long, Zhen Zidan, and Wu Jing, which made Biaozi appear tall and imposing like a god.

To emphasize this effect, Wei Ming deliberately didn't appear. If he had been there, Biaozi certainly wouldn't have been as awe-inspiring as he was now. Finally, he really did pull it together.

After Biaozi appeared, Tiannu, who was about to win, suddenly stopped retreating. A difficult expression appeared on his elephant-like face, and under the influence of a mysterious force, he took a step forward.

"Wow!" The entire venue erupted in cheers!
"This person is incredibly sharp!"

"It's like a god descending to earth!"

"If this were in ancient times, he would definitely be a great general capable of defeating ten thousand men!"

"Even Xiang Yu and Lü Bu of ancient times were no better than this."

"OMG, those muscles are so cool! Ah, I can't take it anymore, I'm coming!"

"Look, everyone! Look at his clothes!"

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

Everyone craned their necks to look at the center of the field, and some children even sat on their fathers' shoulders, watching with great interest.

"what!"

With a furious roar, Biaozi's clothes, which had just started to tear, were completely ripped apart.

"Her clothes ripped off! Holy crap, her clothes actually ripped off!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar, their eyes widening in shock and jaws dropping. Biaozi's muscular physique, now exposed after his clothes were ripped off, looked even more alluring, a true devil in human form.

He had become somewhat complacent after filming and getting married, but in order to promote the film in Hong Kong, he started to train his body again and restored himself to his peak condition.

In addition, the clothes he was wearing were very tight-fitting, and there were many places where the seams were not sewn properly, which is why he got the current look. Thanks to Aunt Xia Meng's garment factory.

Wei Ming originally wanted to rip his pants open as well, but Biaozi said, "He has to save face."

For men, the buttocks are equivalent to the face, so they kept the pants and only exposed the shirt.

But this scene was still shocking, with the same shock as when global audiences saw Schwarzenegger appear naked for the first time three years later.

Elephant Tiannu seemed to be stunned by Biaozi's amazing aura, staring blankly with his long trunk swinging back and forth as if it had broken.

So, with the powerful intervention of the ripped version of Biaozi, Elephant Tiannu walked step by step toward humanity.

Three meters is actually very close to an elephant.

The entire audience was so nervous that their palms were sweating, some were holding their breath, and others were shouting encouragement.

This includes, of course, the group of fit middle school students and the colorful gangsters from earlier.

Although they didn't succeed, they hoped someone could, because they believed that human will could overcome nature!

Only Ni Kuang wiped the sweat from his glasses, panting heavily: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The Ta Kung Pao reporter next to him, who was pretending to be a Wesley fan, laughed and said, "Mr. Ni, don't worry. At worst, we can just run away. We can't eat this shit. Elephant dung is all coarse fiber and can't be digested!"

Ni Kuang snorted, "It's not over yet, the outcome is still uncertain."

At this moment, Elephant Tiannu also seemed to be exerting his strength, and when he was about to fail, he and the four opponents reached a stalemate.

Biaozi's veins were bulging from his forehead, as if his body was about to explode along with his clothes. Wei Ming exclaimed: Who said our Biaozi has no acting skills? This acting is so real!

Feeling that the stalemate had reached a point where things were getting too tense, Biaozi worried that Daxiang might not want to continue the act, so he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Break it!"

With that sound, the elephant, Tiannu, seemed to have exhausted its strength, but was finally pulled to take the crucial step.

Moreover, after taking that first step, it staggered a few more steps before stopping in front of Zhao Debiao, as if blocked by an invisible killing intent.

Biaozi stood proudly facing the elephant, which was a meter taller than him, while Zhen Zidan, Wu Jing, and the others hid behind him, looking as if they were being protected by him.

This scene was captured by a reporter from Wenhui Daily. Elegant, this photo is so elegant!

Although the four of them won the game, at this moment the entire audience only remembered Zhao Debiao, and the shouts from the entire audience were only for Debiao, the sound so loud that it seemed to overturn the sky.

As the chief architect of all this, Wei Ming was very satisfied. The result was even better than he had imagined. At this moment, Biaozi became a legend in Hong Kong.

The biggest selling point and the most worthy of hype for the movie "Heroes Have Always Been Born Young" was the unconventional couple, the strong woman and the weak woman, who were a perfect match.

Moreover, Yanzi had both good looks and fighting skills, which was exactly the type of female action star that Hong Kong was in dire need of at the time. Unfortunately, she was pregnant and could not perform high-difficulty moves, so Wei Ming could only focus his publicity efforts on Biaozi.

After all, he was a short drama director in his previous life, so he knows all too well what kind of sensational moments the general public likes.

Although rational people would never believe that four people could pull a fully grown elephant, there are too many people and too few rational ones. Moreover, with so many people watching today, and media arranged by Wei Ming beforehand, this matter will inevitably spread widely in the Hong Kong media, whether positive or negative.

Even if Qiu Degen, the owner of Liyuan Amusement Park, knew about this, he would try his best to make it a hot news story, since Liyuan Amusement Park hasn't been this lively and popular in a long time.

The cheers lasted for more than ten minutes before Debiao and his team finally stood in the center of the field to give their victory speech.

However, Biaozi was so exhausted that he could barely speak.

You might think it's just good acting, but he was actually putting in so much effort to pull the elephant that he almost broke his liver.

At this moment, Biaozi changed into another outfit, and the crowd reacted enthusiastically, shouting "Burn out his clothes! Burst out his clothes!"

Zookeeper Akun, holding the tattered clothes in his hand, laughed and said, "I noticed that the words 'Heroes have always emerged from among the young' are written on the clothes of some of you. What does that mean?"

Zhen Zidan answered in Cantonese: "This is the name of our film crew. Our movie is about to be released, and the director asked us to wear this outfit and walk around in crowded places to do promotion, but he forgot to write the release date."

Ah Kun immediately asked, "When will it be released?"

"This Friday, or the day after tomorrow."

Many people at the scene immediately remembered the name and the movie, and some even thought of a serialized martial arts novel they had read before, which seemed to have the same name.

"Wow, this movie must be really good! I'd like to ask what role this brave man plays in the movie?" Ah Kun pointed at Biao Zi, and the crowd cheered again. He's very popular right now.

Biaozi's Cantonese was rather broken, so he simply said in Mandarin, "I'm playing the main villain."

Ah Long translated it for him.

"The main villain? Then the protagonist is definitely going to suffer. Are you playing the male lead?" Ah Kun asked Zhen Zidan.

Zhen Zidan shook her head and pointed at Biaozi, saying, "I'll play his underling."

"So who will play the male lead?"

Zhen Zidan gave a gentle push, shoving the blushing Xiao Wu forward: "It's him."

"What!?"

Everyone found it unbelievable that this boy, who looked like a little girl, was actually the male lead? This movie is quite interesting.

After expressing his amazement, Ah Kun asked, "So your movie doesn't have a female lead?"

Zhen Zidan: Yes, but the female lead is currently pregnant and it's inconvenient for her to come out and participate in activities.

"Wow, she's pregnant! What's the relationship between the female lead and the male lead? Are they mother and child?"

“No, they’re husband and wife,” Zhen Zidan said with a smile. Amidst the incredulous discussions of the crowd, he then asked, “Do you know whose child the female lead is carrying?”

"who?"

Zhen Zidan pointed at Zhao Debiao again. Biaozi smiled slightly, thinking his smile was quite amiable, but to everyone else, it looked like a villain's satisfied smile after abusing the female lead.

So evil, so powerful! I love it!
In this initial reveal, Biaozi and his team didn't talk much about the movie, otherwise it would have seemed too deliberate.

After receiving their monthly pass rewards for Liyuan Amusement Park and Songcheng, and taking a group photo with Tiannu, two of the zookeeper Akun's colleagues suddenly brought over something while wearing masks.

Ah Kun said, "We just learned that the first gentleman to participate in the competition is the famous writer, Mr. Ni Kuang, the author of Wesley and Yuan Zhenxia. As one of the Four Great Talents of Hong Kong, the great writer Ni Kuang is a man of his word, even when he is starving. Now, let's welcome Mr. Ni, eat shit!"
