Chapter 62 - Sports Drink (2/2)

And with his tonnage, running 10 kilometers was a spectacle. From now on, there would definitely be many people who would watch his stream as it would spark interest for sure!

Of course, that was not the case right now.

“This mini-marathon is a one meter for one grain of rice charity event hosted by a running APP. One meter for one grain of rice just means one grain of rice is donated to an area in poverty for every meter ran.”

Meng Fan introduced the event and continued, “At the finish line, there will be a charity donation point. If I reach it, and I arrive within 1.5 hours before starting, I will donate all the gifts you guys give me, regardless of what it is.”

Meng Fan didn’t mention the bets that had been made in the channel earlier. Actually, it didn’t mean much, regardless. He didn’t want to force the big talkers among his viewers to toss out their ‘C-spot halos’; not that he could anyways.

It was better not to mention anything. At least now, everyone had some basis for their thoughts. If they were willing to donate, they would, and the ones who weren’t could remain as they were.

—XuJiaYu’s Hardware store has donated a C spot halo in channel 131225. Come help the host level up to a center spot and claim your reward!

“After what the host said, I’m going to donate one first!”

—DaysNianXiuWalked has donated a C spot halo in channel 131225. Come help the host level up to a center spot and claim your reward!

“Hahahahahaha animation department’s iron hero, add oil! But this C-spot halo is for the traditional chinese painting department’s goddess!”

After Meng Fan had spoken, the channel gained a few C spot halos. One of them seemed to be from a fellow student at the academy who had recognized Meng Fan and recognized Wu Tong in one glance.

Both C spot halos were broadcasted throughout the entire platform, attracting an array of viewers. Another group of viewers had entered the channel after receiving his stream notification. Of course, there were also viewers who had been drawn by Meng Fan’s metaphysical attribute of validation.

The viewers noticed Meng Fan’s hefty figure immediately, and upon seeing the announcement bar were all full of doubt as they waited for Meng Fan to begin running.

The mini-marathon began at 10 am sharp. At around 9:50, the contestants had already arranged themselves according to their jersey colors, forming a long dragon-like line outside of the gymnasium.

The thirty or so people who were standing at the front were all wearing their own sports jerseys.

The red jerseys were the first group immediately following the leading section. Meng Fan was part of that category. So aside from Zhang Zhou Wei who was filming from his small donkey-like bike, the organizers own cameramen were also frequently focusing their lens on Meng Fan.

Behind them followed the other monochrome colored jerseys; yellow, blue, white and black.

The difference between the colors was partly determined by the scores of the runners on the Mou Dong app, and partly by the groups under which some people signed up to.

At 9:59, Meng Fan downed a bottle of sports drink that he had redeemed earlier.

The sports drink—an equipment from the task [Travelling Deity]—cost 10 points per bottle.

The function provided moisture and trace minerals needed for exercise while adjusting the physical state of the consumer to an optimal one for competition.

Drinking one every half an hour would maintain the effect.

As to what ‘best competitive state’ meant, Meng Fan, who had never entered any athletic competitions his whole life, had not experienced that whatsoever. But he knew a competitive state was important in any sports race.

So he had exchanged a bottle. It was not expensive, and he wouldn’t have the chance to drink it regularly.

In addition, Meng Fan had also prepared the energy chews that could supplement physical energy.

Although it was impossible to win a championship, he still could run a result that he normally couldn’t reach.

After all, he was streaming. It would be embarrassing to fall behind.

10:00 am. The race began.
