Chapter 16: Where exactly is your limit? [New book, seeking flowers]

As expected, Han Dongjun successfully leaps across the finish line. ===== CHAPTER 37 =====

The men in black behind are left far behind.

It's not that they couldn't run, but they were deeply discouraged and lost their motivation!

They even fell into self-doubt.

Are we really professional athletes?

Why does a cameraman easily outrun us?!

Please, act like a human!

Like them, Han Dongjun has no joy after winning, but instead looks at Qin Mu with a face full of shock.

Damn!

How fast were you just now?!

You reached the finish line at least half a second faster than me!

And we started at the same time!

"Excuse me, what was my pace just now?"

Han Dongjun hurriedly asks the staff member recording the time nearby.

"Very good, a pace of 11.27 seconds per hundred meters!"

The staff member is full of admiration.

It's even better than a national second-tier athlete; the previous best result, Zheng Kai, only had a pace of 11.68 seconds.

Professionals are just different!

However, Han Dongjun doesn't feel any joy; his face twitches in shock.

I hit 11.27.

Then what about Brother Qin?

He must have hit at least 10.70!

Holy crap!

Even stronger than my peak!

He has already surpassed the standard for a first-tier athlete!

"Han Dongjun seems to have taken a huge blow!"

"If it were me, I'd be sad too; no matter how fast I run, I'm not as fast as Brother Qin!"

"Ladies, we have another clue; a first-tier athlete, hurry and look for an athlete with the surname Qin, the super handsome kind!"

"Awesome, I can even see the despair on the faces of the men in black, my heart aches for them!"

"The theme of this episode could be changed to 'Finding the Truth About Brother Qin', it's so damn intriguing!"

The live stream room has truly exploded.

Han Dongjun is very impressive, the strongest among the guests.

But precisely because of that, it highlights Brother Qin's power even more.

When Guo Dalin ran, he could stay a body length ahead; when Zheng Kai ran, he also stayed a body length ahead; damn, when Han Dongjun ran, it was still just one body length.

Forcibly keeping it a tie?!

Where exactly is your limit?!

Carrying his disappointment, Han Dongjun returns to the lounge.

Everyone knows the reason and comes forward to comfort him.

"It's okay, Dongjun, you were already great!"

"Just surpass yourself, no need to compare with others!"

"That's the 'other people's child', we don't compare."

"You've done very well, we've all seen it."

Various comforts and reassurances; anyone who didn't know would think he had lost.

But he was successful!

And he was the most successful one!

The atmosphere in the entire lounge is strange.

Just after returning to the lounge, Qin Mu hasn't even had a chance to take a breath.

Yao Dao and the assistant director run over eagerly, waving the contract in their hands like a flag of victory.

"Brother Qin."

"Why are you still drinking mineral water? Come, come, this bottle of Anmuxi is delicious."

The assistant director waits on him hand and foot.

This is the big star of their team; he must be well taken care of!

"Brother Qin, we've rushed to draft this contract; take a look and see if it's suitable."

"If it's suitable, let's sign it now."

Yao Dao takes out the drafted contract.

Qin Mu isn't too surprised; it's normal for them to be in a hurry, so he examines the contract carefully.

He spots a problem at a glance.

A good problem.

The salary has quietly increased by ten thousand, to seventy thousand per episode!

What a clever little move!

On the side, the eyes of the two cameraman colleagues are about to pop out.

Damn!

They joined the crew at the same time.

It's only been two hours since filming started, and someone else is already signing a lucrative long-term contract, while they haven't received any attention at all.

People really are different!

After a while, Qin Mu finishes reading the contract.

It's alright, about the same as the conditions Yao Dao boasted about earlier.

"Let's sign."

The assistant director hurriedly hands over a ballpoint pen.

He is specifically responsible for logistics; with a rising star in the camera crew, his status in the company will also rise rapidly.

Under two pairs of expectant gazes, Qin Mu signs his name.

'Yeah!'

Yao Dao's inner joy is hard to hide; he picks up a bottle of Anmuxi and raises it high: "Happy cooperation, let's have a drink!"

They are working now, so they can only use yogurt instead of alcohol!

"Cheers."

In the lounge.

After a short, heated discussion.

Sha Yi has to face the final reality: the score is now 160:160.

The final key leg is in his hands.

"I'm under a lot of pressure right now."

Sha Yi says with a mournful face.

The victory of the entire team depends on him, but after watching everyone else's challenges, he is now terrified.

They were too fierce.

He is an old man... *cough cough*, a slightly older young man, he can't handle it!

"Daddy Sha, the hope of the whole village is on you!"

Guo Dalin says with full expectation.

"Teacher Sha Yi, come on!"

Baby and Li Qin encourage him silently.

"Hahaha, Old Sha, I hope you don't follow in the footsteps of an old man like me." ===== CHAPTER 38 =====

Taking the opportunity, Li Chen jokes.

Sha Yi's face immediately turns bitter.

Damn it!

Must succeed!

Otherwise, I really won't be able to shake off this 'old man' title.

Carrying sorrow and determination, Sha Yi walks into the long corridor.

In the camera crew.

The only middle-aged cameraman who hasn't gone up is eager to try.

Whether it works or not, he has to give it a shot!

"Brother Liu, you go; I'll rest for a while."

Qin Mu sees his intention and smiles.

"Brother Qin, thank you!"

The middle-aged cameraman is immediately overjoyed and hurriedly expresses his sincere gratitude.

The running corridor is a unique and excellent performance opportunity for this episode, and there won't be another one later.

He can tell that Qin Mu is deliberately giving up this opportunity for him.

With Qin Mu's current state, going to film Sha Yi's challenge, which doesn't require much physical exertion, would be a breeze.

"Brother Liu, come on!"

Qin Mu encourages him with a smile.

It's just right to rest for a while; anyway, the goal has already been achieved, so there's no need to be in such a rush.

Soon, Brother Liu follows Sha Yi's footsteps.

The latter is slightly disappointed to see that the cameraman has changed.

Sigh, I can't perfectly showcase my heroic and dashing posture.

However, he doesn't say anything, and after exchanging some encouragement, he stands on the challenge platform.

Ten points. ===== CHAPTER 39 =====
