"I feel like my life has reached its climax at this moment!"

Chen Feiyu was eating delicious meat skewers, expressing such sentiments.

The meat skewers were just too delicious, the lamb was grilled to a sizzling oily perfection, and each bite dripped with oil, yet peculiarly, it didn't feel greasy at all!

A faint refreshing aroma made the lamb taste unbelievably satisfying.

If there's one flaw, it's that there's never enough!

30 lamb skewers, 2 kidneys, 4 oysters, and 2 pieces of oily fringe, he just wanted to loudly question Wang Fan, "Who do you think you're underestimating, huh?!"

As for the unlimited vegetables, I've evolved over thousands of years to reach the top of the food chain, am I here to eat vegetables?

Chen Feiyu huddled close to Wang Fan and negotiated, "Boss Wang, I've chased you from Beijing to Harbin and then to Mount Tai. As a die-hard fan, can you bend the rules and give me more? I promise not to tell anyone."

Wang Fan rubbed his ear, slightly sore from Chen Feiyu's loud voice, barely knowing how he could keep the secret if it got out.

Looking at the diners who instantly perked up their ears, Wang Fan dared not give him more even if he wanted to.

"Good on you for the effort, but really, the amount is fixed. Our staff are already working very hard, and I can't exploit them too much."

Chen Feiyu sighed, helplessly turned his gaze to the blackboard beside him, suddenly seeing the line at the top of the board - Climb Mount Tai and line up at the store, and receive 10 lamb skewers as a free reward.

Chen Feiyu's eyes lit up immediately, pointing at the sign, he said, "Boss, is this for real?"

Wang Fan looked at the information and nodded, "Of course it is."

Chen Feiyu asked again, "Does it not count towards the limit?"

Wang Fan said, "It doesn't count."

Surprised, he looked at Chen Feiyu, "You're not planning to climb the mountain now, are you?"

Chen Feiyu let out a cold smile, "Boss Wang, your culinary skills are unbeatable, but you have no idea about the power and determination of foodies! Do I just need to climb from Red Gate?"

Wang Fan nodded.

Chen Feiyu negotiated, "If I'm fast, is there an extra reward?"

Wang Fan thought for a moment, "It usually takes people about 4 to 5 hours to climb. It's now 4:30. If you can climb up by 8, I'll give you 20 more skewers."

Chen Feiyu's eyes shone, "Then if I climb up within two hours, is asking for 50 more skewers unreasonable?"

Wang Fan nodded, "Not unreasonable."

"Alright, you've said it, a gentleman's word is his bond..."

Chen Feiyu extended his fist, and Wang Fan smiled and bumped his fist against Chen Feiyu's, "It's set!"

Chen Feiyu turned and left, "I'm off, I'm taking the cable car down now, I'll record a video when I get to the top, I promise I'll climb step by step. If I take the cable car, I'm a puppy."

His words drew the attention of many diners, several of whom gave him a thumbs up.

"Buddy, awesome! We'll wait for you to reach the top!"

"Go for it, I believe in you. If you really make it in less than two hours, I'll treat you to 10 skewers."

"Wow, this makes my heart itch too. I just took the cable car up Mount Tai, wait for me, I'm going to climb too."

"I'm going too, Boss Wang's limit is too belittling, it's not enough food!"

Suddenly, five or six more people stood up and followed Chen Feiyu towards the cable car.

This little episode made the already lively diners even more animated, with many making bets on this.

"I think two hours is too tight. Mount Tai is hard to climb, it'll probably take at least three hours."

"I can see that young man is pretty sturdy, I feel two and a half hours is possible."

"I'll bet 10 skewers that he can climb up in less than 2 hours, anybody wants to play?"

"I'll bet against you, I'll bet he climbs in 2 and a half hours, if it's over 2 hours, you lose, how about that?"

"Bring it on, let's make it a deal."

...

Taking the cable car, Chen Feiyu headed down to Red Gate, preparing to go from Red Gate to Middle Heavenly Gate, then ascend to South Celestial Gate.

He was confident, believing he could definitely reach the top in 2 and a half hours, though he was unsure about doing it within 2 hours.

At Red Gate, he began warming up, even stretching all his muscles before filming a circle with his phone, then said to his phone, "It's now 4:58, I'm at Red Gate, I'm starting to climb."

Saying that, he started walking quickly uphill. At this time, there were few people climbing up, but many coming down, and they all shared one common trait - their legs were shaking like sieves.

Chen Feiyu ignored them, didn't bother with those who also wanted to climb the peak for more grilled meat with him; he had his own rhythm which mustn't be disrupted.

Looking up at the mountaintop, Chen Feiyu's eyes were full of determination, "Wait for me, meat skewers!"

Step by step, step by step, step by step like... cough cough...

Chen Feiyu climbed incredibly fast, taking only 40 minutes to walk from Red Gate to Middle Heavenly Gate, then without resting, heading straight towards South Celestial Gate.

50 minutes, 60 minutes...

90 minutes!

As the stopwatch ticked over to 12, Chen Feiyu's foot landed on the last step of South Celestial Gate.

It was only then he seemed to feel fatigued, suddenly beginning to breathe heavily.

He slowly moved towards Wang Fan's shop, and those diners who knew of the situation applauded enthusiastically as they saw him.

"Young man, impressive! Your physical fitness is truly amazing!"

"This is the first time I've seen someone reach South Celestial Gate in less than two hours, I'm impressed, impressed. I'll give you my 10-skewer quota!"

Chen Feiyu finally moved to the front of the queue, chuckling, "Boss Wang, I've climbed up, took 90 minutes, definitely no cheating. If you don't believe it, you can watch my recording. Gimme 60 skewers, hahaha."

Wang Fan gave a thumbs up, praising, "You're amazing. I'll personally skewer the 60 sticks for you. No need to watch the video, I trust you."

Chen Feiyu laughed heartily, a buddy got up to let him sit, while the other diners gave him a thumbs up too, "You're truly impressive."

"Awesome."

"Respect."

Chen Feiyu laughed heartily, "Oh, it's nothing, I just enjoy hiking normally. This is just a stroll for me."

The buddies glanced at their drinks shaking in front of them, agreeing with Chen Feiyu, indeed just a stroll.

Chen Feiyu coughed to mask his embarrassment, shifting his legs shaking like a sieve away from the table leg...

"After all, this is winter, if it were spring, summer, or autumn, my legs wouldn't be shaking!"

Wang Fan kept his word, saying he'd skewer them himself, and he did, personally preparing all 60 skewers for Chen Feiyu, who held the skewers like a world champion.

The few friends following behind were much slower, but Wang Fan's shop didn't close today, letting Zhuo Qianqian, Li Wei, and Feng Haoyu rest, while he stayed in the shop alone, with those who had already climbed waiting with him.

Xu Wei's steps were incredibly heavy, his labored breath akin to a bellows. He didn't know if the meat skewers gave him strength, but now he only wanted to conquer South Celestial Gate.

Gradually, he saw the building with his eyes, knowing victory was right in front.

Upon finally climbing the last step, he saw a bunch of meat skewers and several large hands.

Exhilarating laughter echoed through South Celestial Gate.
