Chapter 0007: Became Famous Just by Having a Meal

I would like two more hamburgers! And one more pizza

So many people are taking photos, and there are those recording videos. Even if something happens, it has nothing to do with me; I have already reminded them. The customer is always right... The manager helplessly instructed the staff to bring two hamburgers and a pizza, along with a large cup of water, and personally delivered them to the Chinese boy's table

Looking at their physique and attire, they do not seem like someone who cannot afford to eat

However, seeing that desperate look, it truly resembles someone who is starving

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Sun Ce decisively engaged in training, focusing this time on the lower limbs and abdominal muscle groups

Phase-based explosive pre-training task: The first round of the 666 Devil Training Method has been completed. The host has been granted three hours of rest to replenish consumed physical energy. The next round of training will commence on April 10, 2009, at 23:00. Please be prepared

Diligent Chinese youth, the basketball dream of the Chinese people

This is Sun Ce's current thought

However, he did not realize that he could eat so much, his stomach was like a bottomless pit

When this prompt appeared on the transparent screen in Sun Ce's line of sight, he felt his body suddenly become incredibly heavy, having just completed one minute of a plank exercise, and he collapsed onto the floor.

It is eight o'clock, precisely eight o'clock. After enduring six hours of grueling training, he finds himself unable to sleep at all

The purpose of creating teaching materials is, of course, to promote basketball. Therefore, it is essential to select movements that are not too difficult for the average person to practice, yet are relatively visually appealing at this level.

In Phoenix, due to matters related to individuals associated with a very popular local team, it has also garnered significant attention

Although the original author of this blog and video was not a basketball fan and merely hoped for high clicks and ratings on their blog, this particular piece quickly caused a sensation in the domestic basketball community as people were just getting off work and preparing to surf the internet... It even attracted the attention of "patriots," leading to heated discussions...

Indeed, this Chinese boy is Sun Ce. After taking a shower and changing his clothes, he drove out to eat, as he was so hungry that he felt like he could gnaw on the showerhead.

Do hungry ghosts reincarnate

If one is in such a physical state that they simply want to collapse and sleep, no matter how much willpower Sun Ce possesses, he would not be able to endure it

At this moment, Sun Ce was already oblivious to the external world, repeatedly engaging in mechanical practice of dribbling, shooting, and other fundamental basketball skills

After three hours of rest and preparation, Sun Ce felt some strength returning to his body, knowing that it was time to begin again

Sun Ce knew that all of this was true. He had an opportunity to completely transform his body and return to the state before it was hollowed out. His stubborn personality made him unwilling to give up.

Around six o'clock in the afternoon, John, not knowing what he had done, took a nap. When he came out, he saw Sun Ce still practicing

However

Beverages are no longer offered, as fast food restaurants primarily serve carbonated drinks, which are even more filling when consumed

Exhausted to the point of wanting to fall asleep, yet he simply cannot sleep

Until 8 PM, the muscles of the arms, forearms, shoulders, back, and chest... have finally been worked through in the first round of training

It is the ninth one! Keep it up! The onlookers nearby have already started to cheer...

Seeing Sun Ce practice continuously, tirelessly

Sun Ce is not a notable figure; he merely indulged in leisure during his university years and is only famous within his college. He is not well-known even on the main campus. Those truly wealthy second-generation rich kids have far more tricks up their sleeves than he does. Sun Ce cannot be said to have any real influence; only those in his department know his name and recognize him as the lucky one chosen by the Suns. Perhaps he is temporarily quite well-known in the school, but he is merely regarded as a fortunate individual

This scene is quite astonishing, and thus, others began to take photographs again

Fatigue, drowsiness, soreness

At this point, he certainly has to grit his teeth and persevere

Training the lower limbs and the waist and abdomen is not limited to the gym; it also requires exercising in some outdoor locations.

While Sun Ce was training vigorously outdoors, he did not notice that someone was taking photos outside the low fence of the courtyard

Little did one know

Having a certain foundation is advantageous; combined with the resilience developed through Sun Ce's difficult growth experiences in his previous life, he remarkably completed the first round of training

Do I still need to conserve my energy? Sun Ce also couldn't understand, but it was what it was. After taking a sip of water, Sun Ce picked up the ninth hamburger

From the perspective of an observer, the training of standard movements appears to be highly aesthetic

Repeated over and over again

Not looking at the screen, but only listening to the sound, is truly marvelous

On April 10, 2009, at 9:35 PM, near the South Line Historical Art Museum in Phoenix City, at a fast-food restaurant that is a 15-minute drive from the villa rented by Sun Ce, a large crowd is now taking photos of a table with their mobile phones

All bodily reactions after excessive and extreme exercise manifested in him

The energy consumed during the afternoon training has led to a sense of hunger in the body, which seems to have accumulated completely. Moreover, it may not be limited to that; the food ingested appears to be quickly digested and converted into energy. Currently, the body remains in a state of extreme fatigue, but as described in the introduction of the "Phase Burst" card, it will recover to a level of physical fitness sufficient to support the completion of a training session before the next set begins. The greater the fatigue, the larger the consumption...

... ...

John did not think much of it, believing that Sun Ce had practiced for several hours and would not have much energy left in the evening

The fast food restaurant is filled with exclamations of amazement one after another

For Sun Ce, the nightmare has only just begun

Taking a bite of the hamburger and chewing, Sun Ce felt quite frustrated: "I have become a tourist attraction! But I am so hungry!"

By the morning of the 11th, Sun Ce had already begun his third round of training

There are people who imitate the number 24 player from the neighboring state, running at four in the morning. They saw Sun Ce working out frantically before dawn and curiously recorded it to post on Facebook

As for Sun Ce's statement about wanting to play in the NBA... John completely took it as a joke

The onlooking crowd watched as Sun Ce shot the basketball time and again, his sweat soaking through his sportswear, yet he paid no mind, training over and over again

Consciousness is becoming increasingly blurred, yet... he still cannot fall asleep

In addition, there is an uncontrollable feeling...

I am still hungry

... ...

I still want more, just the last two, I am so hungry...

The store manager and the people around were left speechless

However, he just cannot fall asleep, and after completing each set of training, when he regains some strength before starting the next set, Sun Ce's determination always drives him to grit his teeth and continue training

John did not know what to say anymore, he was about to leave, truly unable to bear it any longer. He felt that Sun Ce was merely acting irrationally, or perhaps trying to do something to announce that he was ready to start making an effort.

Originally, John intended to leave a masseur for Sun Ce, but Sun Ce asked him to take the masseur away as well

When practicing upper body exercises, Sun Ce only emitted a slight sound of effort when exhaling, but by the second round, each exhalation was almost equivalent to a wail

Rationality told him that it was time to give up, but feeling a mysterious resurgence of strength in his body, it was as if all the food he had just gorged on had truly transformed into energy. Moreover, despite feeling tired and sleepy, he had no desire to sleep whatsoever

The training in the first two rounds has accustomed Sun Ce to practice each movement slowly according to the standard actions depicted in the instructional materials similar to basketball coaching resources, with a habitual pursuit of precision in every action

... ...

Photos and videos have gone viral in the United States, featuring an individual of East Asian descent. Upon noticing this, a Chinese journalist conducted an investigation and discovered that it was a Chinese international student who participated in the event for the farewell game of the Suns. This immediately sparked thoughts on how to write about it in a way that would attract attention

Sun Ce had never considered this aspect; he was unaware that merely having the opportunity to "experience" the NBA had already granted him a certain level of recognition within the domestic basketball community

Last night, a video titled "Mysterious Eastern Boy Devours 10 Giant Big Macs" circulated online, and some locals in Phoenix also saw it. In the age of the internet, information spreads rapidly, and it sparked a wave of excitement last night. Some recognized that the competitive eater from last night was undergoing intense training and came to watch. Additionally, there were those who had seen the photos of the "lucky ones" from the charity event announced by the Suns a few days ago in the news, and knowing that Sun Ce is a basketball fan, they also came.

At 8:00 in the morning, when Sun Ce began the third round of training, there were already people observing from the periphery of the courtyard

... ...

I am so hungry! I want to eat!

Is this meant to push every muscle of mine to the limit

He cannot fall asleep

However, Sun Ce's intense training, from around 4 a.m. ... all the way until 2 p.m. of frenzied practice, made him famous locally in Phoenix

If one had chosen to use a star simulation card from the very beginning during the trial, it would have been acceptable. However, having persisted until the third group, to give up at this point... If we really talk about it, Sun Ce's behavior may not be considered perseverance... Rather, it stems from a fear of poverty, leading to a desire to avoid any losses at all times

"Sir, do you really want more? You have already eaten 8 hamburgers and 2 pizzas. We greatly appreciate your love for our restaurant's food, and this time I will waive the bill for you. Please come back to eat next time, alright?" The manager could no longer bear to watch, fearing that this young Chinese boy, who did not seem very old, might overeat and face serious consequences.
