Chapter 1136: Be My Vice President

“Completed a 135 kg snatch, without an ounce of water weight!”

The young man said seriously.

The young guy raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, “Does that mean he can rank in the top five now?”

A bald middle-aged man who came later couldn’t help but say, “More than that, I feel he can challenge 150 kg. This Oriental guy doesn’t seem to exert much effort at all.”

Another person, a woman, said with some surprise, “Indeed, looking at his face, he’s not even flushed.”

Hua Yun asked Chen Wen from the side, “How is it? Do you feel like it’s taking a lot of effort?”

“No, it feels quite normal.”

Chen Wen shook his head, “But at this stage, adding more weight won’t be as easy as before. From this point, adding just one kilogram will require more effort.”

The young man beside him asked, “How much will you add this time?”

Chen Wen thought for a moment and said, “145, let’s try again.”

This weight caused an exclamation from the crowd.

145 kilograms was actually already the second place.

The previous second place was only 140 kg.

The woman had already taken out her phone, presumably to record the moment Chen Wen broke the record.

Chen Wen added the dumbbells to 140 kg.

Soon, he began to attempt it. Although it was a bit strenuous, in the eyes of others, he still easily completed a 145 kg snatch.

This made the crowd explode in excitement.

When it comes to world records, there are countless competitors who lift 145 kg, and even more who can lift over 200 kg, but they usually weigh a lot more, thus naturally having more strength.

Just like the middle-aged man said, Chen Wen’s weight is about the same as an average person, probably around 100 kg. It’s amazing to complete a snatch close to double his body weight.

The main thing is Chen Wen didn’t show any changes in facial expression, nor did he seem to reach a sticking point while lifting.

“Why not try 160 kg directly?”

The middle-aged man, who was just questioning Chen Wen, was stunned and couldn’t help but say, “I feel he can even easily complete 160 kg.”

The young guy gave an even bigger number, “Actually, 170 kg should be possible!”

Chen Wen calculated and felt like 170 kg shouldn’t be too difficult either.

Therefore, he said directly, “175 kg then, perfectly seven red plates.”

Immediately, sounds of disbelief arose from around.

Red plates are large red barbell plates, each weighing 25 kg.

Saying seven red plates is actually not quite appropriate since barbells have plates on both sides.

So ultimately, it’s six red plates plus some other colored plates.

After a sufficient warm-up, Chen Wen began the demonstration.

He grabbed the barbell handle, applied force slowly, and gradually lifted the dumbbell near his shoulder.

This was the first time he showed a pause, but after a brief stop, Chen Wen took a breath and straightened up to lift the barbell.

The young man at the side widened his eyes and counted down, “Three, two, one! Done!”

After hearing the word ‘done’, Chen Wen immediately set down the barbell.

With a thud, the people nearby felt the ground tremble!

“Amazing, brother, you’re so strong!”

Having witnessed a new record, especially such an extraordinary one, the young guy couldn’t help but say, “It’s unbelievable, 175 kg, that’s twice your body weight now!”

“More than double!”

The bald middle-aged man asserted confidently, “He probably weighs less than me, and I weigh about 170 kg.”

The middle-aged man who had been skeptical earlier clapped, “Excellent! Friend, you’re excellent!”

The young man who encouraged Chen Wen to challenge the record also couldn’t help but say, “You’re too strong, your strength even surpasses President Valery’s.”

“It’s not a complete surpass, I just picked my battles.”

Chen Wen modestly replied, as he could feel his strength had improved significantly, likely due to the system.

Various attributes had probably enhanced his body.

At the very least, Chen Wen felt his muscle density should be higher than usual. His build looks similar to the middle-aged uncle, but his weight is even slightly heavier.

The young man, under everyone’s witness, updated the record.

He asked Chen Wen to put his name down, and Chen Wen confidently wrote his name.

After finishing, everyone applauded.

The young man, eager to capitalize on the moment, invited Chen Wen to try other challenges, but Chen Wen politely declined, saying, “No, I’m just somewhat specialized in strength, I won’t embarrass myself in other events.”

The young man knew it was Chen Wen’s modesty.

As someone who follows the Eight Extremes Challenge closely, he knew Chen Wen’s core strength and speed were probably far superior to President Valery’s.

After exchanging a few polite words with the other onlookers, and politely declining the lady’s request for his contact information.

Chen Wen finally wrapped up his tour of the gym area.

“Russians are really hospitable!”

Chen Wen couldn’t help but remark, the lady just now even wanted to touch Chen Wen’s pectorals, though he politely declined.

Hua Yun chuckled and said, “You are still conservative, abroad, especially in fitness circles, such behavior is common. Even in one’s own country, it’s not that conservative now.”

Chen Wen firmly said, “Then I am conservative.”

Mainly, Chen Wen felt he didn’t have much pectorals; compared to those trained ones, his chest was at most just broad and his muscles were a bit harder.

After the gym area, next was the cafeteria.

At this moment, the cafeteria was still open, and since it was adjacent to the gym area, it offered low-fat fitness meals, and was also open to the public.

After passing the cafeteria, there was the office area, honor display room, survival gear experience zone, and survival zone.

It can be said that apart from the core office building, the entire association felt more like a huge gathering place for survival enthusiasts, open to the public, and you could see the equipment was well-used.

Such an atmosphere was something Chen Wen quite liked.

After walking around a large circle, Chen Wen, Hua Yun, and the young man arrived at the office building.

The young man led them to the meeting room where badges were distributed. Adam and the others were already there, and to Chen Wen’s surprise, he also saw Lee Min-jun’s team with whom he had previous interactions.

But compared to Chen Wen’s complete team, only five people from Lee Min-jun’s side were present.

Cha brothers, Lee Min-jun and his girlfriend, and the lone Changmao.

Seeing Chen Wen, they all enthusiastically greeted him.

The reason Lee Min-jun and his team were able to persist largely stemmed from those elk hunts with Chen Wen.

Those elk helped them through the toughest times.

Therefore, they were very grateful to Chen Wen.

Hua Yun and Lee Min-jun’s girlfriend also seemed to know each other and had a few words together.

After all, women in Survivor were already very rare, so it was normal for them to look after each other.

While everyone was talking, President Valery entered the meeting room.

He held the badges for the current Forest Extreme Challenge.

But after arriving, Valery didn’t mention anything about distributing the badges.

He looked at Chen Wen with interest and asked, “How is it? Do you like our environment here?”

“I like it very much, the atmosphere here is really great.”

Chen Wen replied politely.

But his next sentence surprised everyone.

“How about becoming an assistant president here?”
