LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 314: The Rules of Shroud Shop.
Completing 100 push-ups in one day isn't such a difficult task, but when many people heard this announcement, their eyes lit up immediately. The reason they were so excited was because of the next sentence on the announcement board.
"Every player who completes an additional 100 push-ups will be granted one exploration opportunity."
"This exploration opportunity allows players to obtain the rules of a building without entering it."
...
"Hey!"
The tattooed muscular man who first entered the convenience store last night saw this sentence and immediately grinned excitedly, "I knew regular fitness was useful, you may not think I'm supernatural, but I've always been into fitness."
"I might not be good at other stuff, but when it comes to push-ups, even some supernaturals might not match up to me."
"Just 100 push-ups, right? I'll do it with one hand!"
Other people, upon seeing this sentence, were quite excited too. Although doing 200 push-ups was somewhat tiring, 100 was the minimum task, and the additional 100 could be exchanged for an exploration opportunity. But when life was at stake, a little fatigue in exchange for a life-saving opportunity was considered the smallest price to pay.
Even some women were rubbing their hands in readiness for a big challenge.
...
Only Hungry Monkey couldn't help but laugh bitterly, turning his head towards Zhou Shen and the others with a light sigh, "I didn't want to steal your thunder, but this event has handed it to me on a silver platter, and I can't even decline it."
"Here's the deal, there are probably a few hundred scattered shops on this street. I'll open them all for you."
"When the time comes, you choose for yourself, pick whichever you want."
"That's settled."
Chen Miao looked at Hungry Monkey with a smile, "Stop with the jokes, let's get started, get more exploration opportunities. I really want to see what the rules for the Shroud Shop and Wax Museum are. I have a feeling these two could be something good."
"After all, these two places look a bit spooky, and they might actually reverse the expectations."
"All right!"
Hungry Monkey rolled up his sleeves, patted Yuan Buping on the shoulder with a smile, and then lay down on the ground, propping himself up on his forearms, adopting an extremely standard push-up posture.
He took a deep breath.
Then his hips started moving like a V8 engine, beginning to piston furiously. In just a few seconds, he had already done more than a dozen push-ups, so fast that they could hardly keep up.
In less than thirty seconds.
"Done."
Hungry Monkey roared, signaling he had finished his task for the day, and not a trace of sweat was on his forehead. At this moment, Hungry Monkey's Strength Value was over 60, what did a Strength Value of over 60 mean?
If a level 50 supernatural put all their attribute points in Strength upon leveling up, not including other bonuses from items or taboo items and counting their base strength attribute value, then their Strength Value would be around 60 or so.
In other words.
Hungry Monkey's strength was on par with a level 50 supernatural who had invested all their attribute points into Strength.
His Strength Attribute far surpassed that of regular humans, and things like uprooting trees were easy tasks, not challenging at all. With such a high Strength Value, these push-ups were incredibly simple.
However, when he did the 101st push-up, Hungry Monkey suddenly uttered a surprised sound, as if something unexpected had happened.
But Hungry Monkey's movements did not stop, the speed of doing push-ups remained just as fast, and soon the second set of 100 push-ups was also complete!
The third set...
The fourth set...
The fifth set...
By the sixth set of push-ups, Hungry Monkey's sweat had already soaked the entire ground, and his movements became slower and slower. By the last few reps, his arms began to tremble violently, fluttering like the wings of a butterfly.
It was obviously extremely strenuous.
Thud, Hungry Monkey finally collapsed, the entire person sprawled out on the spot as the sixth set of push-ups just ended. Lying on the ground, Hungry Monkey was gasping for air, unable to utter a word.
"Can you still go on?"
Zhou Shen passed over a bottle of mineral water with a smile, "You're down after just 600 push-ups? Your strength has reached 60 points, shouldn't a strength attribute value of 60 be more resilient than this?"
From Hungry Monkey's performance, he had guessed that with each set, the difficulty was likely increasing. But with Hungry Monkey being so cocky before, Zhou Shen didn't mind pretending to be unaware right now, wanting to tease Hungry Monkey a bit, since Hungry Monkey often made fun of him.
Before everyone entered the secret realm, they basically carried big and small bags of many things, and many carried a lot of food to ensure that they wouldn't starve to death in the 79 days in the secret realm. Stay connected with empire
Although each of them came empty-handed, their supplies were all with Miao, so they weren't short of supplies.
Everyone knew that Miao had a pocket similar to Doraemon's, into which many, many things could fit. Of course, it was estimated that more than half of it was filled with bullets. After all, given Miao's rate of fire, the bullets he carried would run out in just a few seconds if there were any fewer.
...
"You know shit!"
After gasping for air on the ground for a while, Hungry Monkey got up and took the mineral water, gulping down half the bottle. He then poured the rest of the water from the half bottle over his head and wiped his face.
"After each set of push-ups, the strength of the next set increases. It's like having a heavy truck on top of you. When you do push-ups, it becomes very hard to push yourself back up."
"You guys can give it a try later."
"Six sets is my limit. It's impossible to go beyond that. I just tried the first one of the seventh set, and the result was just as you saw—I was pressed flat on the ground, utterly unable to get up. If I hadn't given up, I could have been pressed here indefinitely, just like Sun Wukong trapped under Five Fingers Mountain."
"You were pressed down and couldn't get up just now?"
Zhou Shen's eyes flashed with surprise, "I was wondering why you were gasping for air on the ground. I thought you were just exhausted, resting there."
"You've worked hard."
Chen Miao smiled, patting Hungry Monkey's shoulder and passing another bottle of mineral water, "We brought plenty of water when we came in, I'll give you a bath later; you don't have to be too frugal, there's enough."
"Let's go check out that Wax Museum and Shroud Shop to see what rules they have."
At this moment, only a few people had finished the first set of push-ups, completing just the bare minimum task, and were attempting the second set. But most people were lying on the ground, gasping for air, obviously resting.
So far, only they had the privilege to explore the buildings.
No one else was rushing to do it first.
"Okay."
Hungry Monkey took the bottle of mineral water and poured it over his head again, then strode towards the Shroud Shop.
