CHAPTER 978: CHAPTER 565: CAPTURE (PART 2)

Moreover, Evergreen Liquid is offering a huge prize, 660,000, and now the average house price in Yuzhou is only about three to four thousand, with really good locations at just five thousand, equivalent to a house or a small car.

"Let’s go eat something delicious, there are drinks, fruits, and chocolates!" Xue Yuantong was very excited.

Xue Chuchu looked at Tongtong’s eager expression, as if she was back in childhood. When people in the countryside got married, they often liked to throw candies to celebrate. Tongtong would take her to grab candies, and each time they would bring back a lot.

If they met generous in-laws, they would even throw money into the air; those were their happiest moments.

Xue Chuchu hesitated: "Is the food for the participants?"

Xue Yuantong said proudly: "Jiang Ning applied for us as volunteers, and volunteers can eat."

"Snacks, hey, chocolates, Red Bull drinks, and energy bars, you haven’t had them, right? Hehe, all free!" Xue Yuantong enticed her.

Xue Chuchu: "Alright."

She agreed.

Jiang Ning saw this and decided to let Chuchu ride the electric scooter with Tongtong, letting them taste all the good food along the way.

As for himself, he’ll decide later; he might choose to join in as a pacer with Yang Sheng, breaking the wind resistance for her, since he promised to cheer for her. If he only focuses on eating, would that be okay?

Of course, he might also be a volunteer.

...

The class 8 group chat was lively.

The marathon held in the urban area became the main topic of tonight.

Class 8 was very lucky. After a confession, a small class surprisingly drew five spots for the marathon participation, namely: Dan Kaiquan, Zhang Chi, Yang Sheng, Tang Jing, Huang Yuzhu.

The network of these five extended, covering almost half of the classmates in the class.

Meng Zi Yun expressed that she would cheer for her sister Tang Jing on-site, and Cao Kun opted to follow.

Dan Kaiquan attracted Guo Kunnan and others, Yang Sheng, needless to say, the twins, Bai Yuxia, and even Dong Qingfeng all chose to go.

Xin Youling: "Wish you all good luck in tomorrow’s race, succeed in making it to the top hundred."

Jiang Yanan asked: "Do you know how long it takes to get into the top hundred in a half marathon?"

Chen Qian replied: "Even in a small city, you have to run at least 1 hour and 35 minutes to hope for the top hundred."

"Moreover, the prize is substantial, and of the 5000 participants drawn afterward, there are definitely many professional runners, not lacking international elites."

Guo Kunnan: "Brother Quan, what’s your time limit for 10 kilometers?"

Dan Kaiquan answered: "The limit hasn’t been tested. I ran it in 43 minutes last time."

Guo Kunnan cheered for his good brother, "10 kilometers in 43 minutes, 20 kilometers in 86 minutes, 1 hour and 26 minutes, steady, steady!"

He popped the champagne early.

Chen Qian: "Half marathon is 21.0975 kilometers, and the 10km and 20km are different; the further you go, the more tiring it gets."

Zhang Chi said: "What’s there to be afraid of? Just do it! With my physical fitness, getting into the top hundred is no problem!"

Duan Shigang: "Still, Brother Chi is awesome."

Pang Jiao said: "I really want to run a marathon. I heard that running a marathon can help you lose 5 pounds. If I hadn’t missed the draw, I would definitely participate."

Wang Yanyan said: "Oh dear, what a shame! Heaven won’t let Jiaojiao lose weight, so annoying!"

Zhang Yifei: "I also want to compete, but don’t have that luck!"

Chen Qian: "To clarify, a full marathon can indeed help you lose 5 pounds, but this race is a half marathon, so losing 5 pounds is difficult."

"Moreover, even if you can’t participate in the marathon, you can still pace along the outside."

Wang Longlong thought: "Brother Qian was too impulsive!"

Pang Jiao was indeed furious, replying: "Mind your own business!"

Zhang Yifei: "Mind your own business!"

Li Shengnan: "Mind your own business!"

Wang Yanyan: "Knowing a lot makes you great, huh?"

Chen Qian wished he could slap his own mouth.

It was Xin Youling who stepped in to mediate: "Stop arguing!"

Pang Jiao: "What am I arguing about? Isn’t he the one meddling first?"

Wang Yanyan: "Yeah, what did Jiaojiao do wrong? How can you, as the class president, take sides?"

Li Shengnan: "That Chen Qian is such a good student, amazing huh!"

Xin Youling was so angry she wanted to mute everyone, but she knew she couldn’t abuse her power.

After venting a few words, Pang Jiao posted boldly in the class group: "Sooner or later, I’ll slim down to a flash of lightning and blind all of you."

Wang Yanyan: "Ah, Jiaojiao, you definitely can do it."

The other two golden flowers praised Pang Jiao’s spirit repeatedly.

Chen Qian couldn’t control his hands and typed a line: "Actually, there’s a kind of lightning called ball lightning, commonly known as rolling thunder."

After this sentence was sent, the class group was silent for a moment.

Chen Qian closed his eyes: ’To sacrifice for truth, I would die a hundred deaths without regret!’

The class group went completely chaotic, with insults scrolling like crazy.

At this time, Jiang Ning received a group invitation from Dan Kaiquan, from the [Marathon Fourth Middle School Group].

"You’re a volunteer, join," Dan Kaiquan said.

After clicking agree, Jiang Ning saw many familiar faces in the group.

Wu Yunzhi: "Wanqing, Zichen, I participated in a 1500-meter race in middle school and got a place, I will lead you when the time comes."

Shang Wanqing: "But, brother, if you lead me, will it delay you from winning the prize? I don’t want to drag you down, boohoo."

Many lurking group members secretly mocked in their hearts after hearing such mushy words, ’Where did this silly person come from!’

Wu Yunzhi, seeing such a charming little girl acting cute in public, felt secretly pleased, he said, "To me, the race is not as important as you."

On the other side of the screen, Shang Wanqing expressionlessly replied: "Oh my, you’re so nice, I’m so touched, I’m so troubled~ so afraid of delaying you."

During her speech, many group members clicked into her QQ space, Shang Wanqing’s space was open to everyone, with many photos inside.

Shyly, cutely, dreamily...

People who originally thought she was silly instantly changed their view, she’s not silly, she’s clearly cute!

Like Tao Nian, a sports student from senior year who once competed with Jiang Ning in the high jump finals, jumped out and said: "Junior, you’re also joining the marathon!"

Wu Yunzhi, seeing his beautiful object being approached, immediately said: "It’s okay, Wanqing, you can run with me when the time comes."

...

November 2nd.

At 2 a.m., all was silent, the sky a deep blue, stars twinkling, moonlight spilling over the fields, glowing faintly.

Next door, Xue Yuantong was sound asleep, Xue Chuchu also deep in dreams.

In the room where Jiang Ning was, the door suddenly opened without wind, and his figure appeared in the courtyard.

With a casual flick, the pocket-sized Spirit Boat enlarged, and he leaped onto it, heading towards Hu Qi Mountain.

In the mountain forest at dawn, it was pitch-black, with wisps of mist swirling gently.

In the woods, a group of wild boars was foraging, their bodies rough and thick, covered in gray hair, with short and sturdy limbs supporting their heavy bodies.

The leader, an adult wild boar, had a pair of sharp tusks sticking out, appearing extremely fierce.

This wild boar, leading its family, foraged freely in the forest, using its tusks to dig up food from the ground.

Its small eyes gleamed, constantly aware of its surroundings, and its ears were constantly twitching, seemingly capturing sounds.

In this situation, Jiang Ning’s figure appeared beside a large tree, without hiding.

Soon, that alert adult wild boar discovered Jiang Ning, letting out low grunts as a warning.

At the same time, the boar’s eyes became sharp, filled with anger, its body tensed up, and its hair gradually stood on end.

Jiang Ning chose a piglet behind it, he said: "Get lost."

The next second, the wild boar moved its sturdy legs, charging madly, heavy footsteps pounding the ground like a hammer.

This several-hundred-pound adult male boar had almost no natural enemies, and if it encountered an ordinary person, it could kill with just two moves, charging and ramming, knocking a person down instantly, while its tusks could cause devastating penetrating wounds.

Even with a gun in hand, it’s hard to kill a wild boar, needing several shots to do so.

Thus, there’s an old saying among the people, one boar, two bears, three tigers.

Jiang Ning, seeing this scene, quietly said: "Eating my food and drinking my drink, still dare to make a move?"

He gestured with an empty hand, and an invisible Spiritual Power hand fiercely struck out.
