By this time, he had had enough time to swallow five chili peppers, it was uncertain if he could handle it.
"Keep going! Keep going!"
The audience clutched their hands tightly, shouting loudly, extremely nervous.
Meanwhile, viewers watching the livestream were sending supportive shouts in the comments, with some staring at the screen, silently watching for the final outcome.
Seeing the struggling, sorrowful look on Ba Ge's face, Lin Yifan truly felt heart-wrenched. His heart was made of flesh too, and since he wasn't a cold-hearted person, witnessing such a tragic scene also brought out his sympathy.
Ba Ge clasped his hands tightly, using all his strength to chew, and just as he was about to swallow the chewed-up chili peppers, his stomach revolted again, unable to swallow such spicy substances.
"Ugh!"
This time, the vomited chili peppers came out with blood, looking even more severe than the previous time.
"Is he livestreaming with his life? That's too pitiful!"
"Stop challenging yourself, health comes first!"
"If you're short of money, I'll gift you ten sports cars instead."
"Records aren't that easy to break, take care and cherish life!"
...
Watching the livestream, viewers felt sorry for Ba Ge, so they started gifting again.
By now, the number of onlookers had reached a million, meaning a million people nationwide were watching this livestream; it was incredibly popular.
The gifts had reached hundreds of millions of beans, meaning a profit of several million had been earned, which was a great income. Unfortunately, Ba Ge didn't receive a share of this income, nor did it have anything to do with him, which was truly tragic.
On the other hand, seeing Ba Ge vomit again, some followers came to Lin Yifan for elixir.
Lin Yifan didn't hesitate and immediately handed out a Pill to his follower.
This was the most sympathy he could muster; otherwise, he wouldn't care if Ba Ge lived or died.
After the last two times, the onlookers weren't as worried about Ba Ge's safety anymore.
As long as Lin Yifan had the Elixir, Ba Ge wouldn't die, so they don't have to worry.
After the Elixir was swallowed, Ba Ge quickly recovered; this feeling was like having a nightmare that, upon waking, everything was back to normal.
Only, the painful and burning sensation lingering in his heart could never vanish.
Now, Ba Ge no longer dared to claim he could handle eating chili peppers.
Although most injuries had healed, because he had eaten too many chili peppers earlier, his stomach hadn't fully recovered. However, continuing to eat chili peppers was still possible, just not too many.
Now, he had two choices: one was to continue challenging with the risk of endangering his life; the other was to commit suicide.
After pondering, he chose to continue the challenge; Lin Yifan wouldn't let him die, as could be seen from how he had intervened earlier, so even if he got a gastric perforation, he wouldn't die - at most, he would suffer some complications.
"Ba Ge! Are you still okay? If not, let's not force it." His followers kindly advised.
Seeing Ba Ge in such torment, they truly felt heartache.
"Who says I can't? It's just vomiting a few times, it's no big deal. Today I must succeed in the challenge and break the world record! I must redeem myself!" Ba Ge roared towards the sky, swearing to the heavens.
It looked like he was determined to keep going.
"Uh... is it that you want to break the record, or are you being forced to?" His followers went silent, feeling that Ba Ge was very tragic.
The previous distribution plan was faultless; only by dividing the chili peppers into smaller portions could he have a chance to succeed in the challenge.
So this time, he planned to stick to the plan and divided fifty-one chili peppers into ten portions.
After getting ready, he asked Lin Yifan to keep time.
Lin Yifan didn't hesitate and immediately announced the start of the challenge.
"The challenge begins!"
Seeing Ba Ge still challenging, the audience revived their spirits, watching this final challenge.
Having had the experience three times before, Big Boss's mouth and tongue had adapted to the intense spiciness, which meant he had developed a certain resistance to it; therefore, he ate much faster than in the previous three sessions.
Watching Big Boss eat chili peppers as if they were rice, everyone was shocked and then, utterly amazed, erupted into applause.
"Is this the legendary Dragon Warrior? How does he seem to grow stronger as he fights?"
"So fast? Why is he so quick this time? Is he desperately hungry?"
"Could it be that he's used anesthetics? Why isn't he afraid of the spice?"
"Awesome! So cool!"
...
On the screen, the live-streaming audience was sending a flurry of comments and giving numerous gifts, thrilled by the exciting scene.
What they wanted was this kind of spectacular performance, not a sorrowful and suppressed one.
Zhou Jiajia and the others covered their mouths, shocked. They hadn't expected that this time, Big Boss would eat so quickly, almost as if he were about to break a record!
His followers were also frightened by Big Boss's actions; although he was fast in previous times, he had never eaten chili peppers like he was eating rice.
"Has he taken stimulants? How can he be so fast?"
"A burst of fighting spirit! It seems he's really going all out."
"Go Big Boss!"
"Go Big Boss!"
His followers shouted continuously, their emotions running high, feeling confident that Big Boss was sure to win this time.
Onlookers both at the scene and online were also cheering for Big Boss, hoping he could successfully complete the challenge.
While everyone was immersed in joy, only Lin Yifan and Xiao Fang were frowning with concern. Others might not see anything wrong with Big Boss, but only they knew how dangerous his situation was right now.
Big Boss's stomach was filled with an intense spiciness that could burn through his stomach. If not treated in time, it could be life-threatening.
Big Boss, engulfed in his frenzied eating, was acutely aware of this.
He was just trying to hold on, wanting to finish the challenge quickly and then vomit out the chili peppers he had ingested, waiting for Lin Yifan's Elixir treatment.
Though he was fast, it still took him forty-five seconds to finish the ninth serving of chili peppers.
With little time left, Big Boss hesitated no more and immediately stuffed the last serving of chili peppers into his mouth and chewed.
This time, he fought the nausea, mustered all his strength, and swallowed down the last serving.
Everyone held their breath once more, quietly waiting for him to swallow it down.
"Swallow it! You must swallow it!"
"Come on! Victory is within reach, push through!"
"Swallow quickly! Don't hesitate, or it will end up like last time!"
...
Everyone hoped desperately that Big Boss would succeed in his challenge.
"Gulp!"
The next moment, as they had wished, Big Boss swallowed the chewed-up chili peppers and then endured the pain for three seconds.
"One, two, three!"
"Yeah! He did it! He succeeded in the challenge!"
Everyone cheered, including the audience at the scene, Big Boss's followers, and the online viewers.
They were genuinely happy for Big Boss, celebrating his incredible record-breaking feat.
Lin Yifan smiled slightly, also admiring Big Boss's resilience.
