Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 1633 - 891: Gift (Part 2)

The female store manager couldn’t help but laugh, "Of course you can."

She didn’t expect that the young woman in front of her, who seemed to have high emotional intelligence, would still indulge in unrealistic fantasies...

She sighed inwardly, thinking that youth is really wonderful, as it allows for daydreams.

Unlike her, who feels restless even in sleep as she gets older.

Le Qin nudged Jiang Ning, urging him to get on stage, eager to see the demeanor of a great master!

Guo Ran was quite speechless. She knew Le Qin was straightforward and meant no harm, just sometimes a bit impulsive and fiery.

"When the time comes, I’ll give the silver beans to Jiang Ning... Hmm, that’s decided." Guo Ran thought, feeling slightly better at this thought.

At this moment, someone who had witnessed their conversation from a distance chuckled, "This young man has skills, he’ll definitely be able to lift it!"

"Yeah, young people are really impressive these days!" someone else added.

The old man who previously joked about seeing Diao Chan laughed, "Of course, back in my youth, I could lift my entire house with one hand!"

People joked, venting a bit of dissatisfaction from not being selected themselves, as no one actually believed the young man could lift the gold brick.

Just joking, the previous big fitness coach and workers couldn’t even lift it!

Five seconds!

Jiang Ning casually walked forward, glancing at the gold brick in front of him, and confirmed it was indeed the real deal: a trapezoidal block, narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. No human hand could grip the base, making it extremely difficult to lift.

Even so, if someone specially trained for this and used magnesium powder, it might be possible.

However, the gold shop’s rules required participants to wear their gloves, making it incredibly challenging.

"Go for it, handsome!" The female store manager, noticing his good looks, cheered on. But as the manager, money was her priority.

Jiang Ning put on the gloves.

Even though Guo Ran knew it was a fantasy, she still encouraged him, "Go for it!"

Le Qin was watching intently, "Great master, you can definitely do it!"

The old man, who had spoken several times before, chuckled, "Young man, this thing is heavy!"

He had tried it before, and it didn’t budge an inch.

As he spoke, Jiang Ning’s left hand gripped the gold brick, and he slightly frowned.

"It’s not possible, is it? He’s going to give up, right..." everyone blurted out, as previously many challengers had merely grabbed the gold brick, applied effort, relaxed, shook their hands, then awkwardly retreated after completing the process.

And it was expected that the young man in front of them would be no different.

Smart parents took this moment to quietly move their children to the front, ready to rely on them entirely.

Someone was still saying, "It’s heavy, it’s impossible!"

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Jiang Ning frowned and said, "It is indeed quite heavy."

The next second, he lifted the gold brick into the air.

"I told you it’s heavy... huh?" The old man was thunderstruck, almost thinking he was seeing things.

His eyes were glued wide open, and he started babbling like a madman, "Great-grandma, haven’t you been gone for thirty years? I was just watching someone lift gold, and as I was speaking, I came to see you!"

Guo Ran felt a magical sensation watching the scene.

But the discomfort from Le Qin’s tight grip on her wrist constantly reminded her that this was really happening.

Her face, once called a Fox Spirit’s face by some, was frozen in astonishment, leaving only Jiang Ning’s slender shoulders in sight.

Le Qin, the lawyer, stayed rational and shouted, "Time it, start the timing!"

The female store manager was equally in shock, and the nearby notary raised their voice, "1, 2, 3..."

Le Qin reminded, "Oh no, we started late!"

Jiang Ning held the gold brick single-handedly, his arm steady, and he complained slightly, "I’m getting tired from holding it."

"4, 5, 6,...10!"

By the time they counted to ten, Jiang Ning released his fingers, and the 50-pound gold brick "thudded" onto the table, creating a deep sound and shaking the hearts of the crowd.

The playful old man clutched his chest, as if he had seen a ghost, unable to crack any more jokes.

The scene was even more suffocating.

Jiang Ning took off his gloves, pulled out a wet wipe, and gently wiped his hands with elegance. His tone was light and airy, "I have to admit, it was a bit challenging."

Guo Ran watched Jiang Ning’s hand intently; it was a very attractive hand, slender like jade, with distinct joints, beautiful but not effeminate.

She was even more aware of how terrifying the strength contained in that hand was.

A ridiculous thought flashed through Guo Ran’s mind: ’If he can easily lift 50 pounds, doesn’t it mean he could lift me with one hand?’

...

In the brief moment of shock, people finally understood what had happened.

This boy, who wasn’t strong and was even thin, actually managed to pick up the gold brick, completing the challenge!

Le Qin started demanding payment, "Sister, we did it, didn’t we get to choose any gold jewelry we wanted?"

The female store manager snapped out of her astonishment, her mouth moved as if trying to find an excuse.

Before she could speak, the next second, Le Qin pulled out her law practice certificate and her phone, "Sis, I recorded it, so you have to keep your word!"

The female store manager was stunned for a moment, then immediately put on a smile, and enthusiastically said, "How could we renege? We’re a legitimate shop!"

She was secretly startled in her heart; at the time, the leader above proposed using a gold brick worth millions as a prize, and out of caution, she refused. Otherwise, the prize given today would have been the gold brick!

She raised her voice, "Everyone saw, right? We’re definitely not fooling anyone, someone actually managed to do it!"

The onlookers were excited, holy cow, someone can actually lift it!

The old man who previously tried and failed came up wanting to have a look at Jiang Ning’s arm. Jiang Ning remembered this unruly old man and teased, "My skill can’t compare to yours; you were lifting houses in your youth!"

The old man smiled awkwardly, "You brat!"

The female store manager holding the microphone gestured to the showcase behind her, "Handsome young man, you can choose any gold jewelry from this counter."

Le Qin hooked her arm with Guo Ran’s, she was beyond excited; getting gold for free, who could resist such temptation?

She advised, "Choose a heavy one, heavy one! Big gold bracelet!"

Too exhilarated, Le Qin even forgot to praise Jiang Ning’s bravery; her eyes were all on the gold, this thing has a huge attraction to humans.

Seeing the items in the glass cabinet, Le Qin looked disappointed; among what she saw were rings, bracelets, necklaces, none of the 80g big gold bracelets.

Jiang Ning turned his face away and asked, "Guo... sister, which one do you like?"

Guo Ran was still in a daze, "Huh, me?"

Jiang Ning watched her confused look, it was quite rare, "Who else if not you?"

Le Qin was speechless, is she not a person?

However, she naturally didn’t interrupt the two of them.

Guo Ran looked down at the glass cabinet, the shiny gold jewelry dazzled her, "I don’t know."

Jiang Ning, "In that case."

He reached out and tapped the glass cabinet, "This one then."

The female shop assistant in charge of the prize immediately took out the pair of gold earrings and introduced:

"This is our store’s new style of earrings named ’Butterfly Tassel.’ It uses Light Sand Technology, doesn’t it move like butterflies when you move? 999 pure gold, weighing 5.9 grams, priced only at... Oh, for you, it’s free."

The female shop assistant marveled at their luck, "This pair of earrings, the process fee alone costs over 500."

Jiang Ning asked, "Do you like it?"

Guo Ran didn’t answer, but her eyes said it all.

Jiang Ning made the decision, "Alright, let’s go with this."

The female shop assistant picked up the gold earrings, then led them to the cashier to print out the receipt.

While waiting, Le Qin, good at reading expressions, gave Jiang Ning a "you’re awesome" look, then moved to the side to glance at the big gold bracelet.

Guo Ran opened her mouth, hesitated, and still said, "It’s too precious."

Jiang Ning smiled carefree, his clear voice echoed, "A gift for you."

Guo Ran’s eyes were complicated, she said, "There’s no need for that... your presence today is the best gift."
