The longed-for village system

Chapter 454 Easy Challenge Success
As time slowly passed, 19 minutes had already elapsed, just one step away from the 20-minute mark. Everyone held their breath, as if afraid that their breathing would affect Chen Qing.

The judges already had a result in mind: Chen Qing would definitely break the record. Compared to the other contestants, his challenge was too easy. During this time, he didn't even spit out a single bubble. If they hadn't seen him open his eyes from time to time to look at the underwater camera, they would have suspected that Chen Qing had kicked the bucket.

A prodigy, truly deserving of the title!

"Brother Chen, it's been 20 minutes, keep it up."

At 20 minutes and 10 seconds, the younger sister finally spoke up to remind Chen Qing. She did this mainly in the hope that Chen Qing could extend the record a little, and she was also afraid that if she didn't keep the time accurate, Chen Qing would catch up at the right time, which would be a big mistake on her part.

Sure enough, after the countdown ended, Chen Qing got out of the water a few seconds later. He casually touched the stream water on his face, and his breathing was the same as before. No one would have thought that he had just washed his face!
"Congratulations everyone on the successful adjustment of our Brother Chen. The final score is 20 minutes and 30 seconds. The certificate will be mailed to Mushroom House in a few days."

After Chen Qing stood up, the judging panel also pressed pause and announced Chen Qing's final score.

"Holy crap! Brother Chen is amazing! He really broke the Guinness World Record just like that? That was so casual!"

"That's not even the most impressive part. Didn't you see that Brother Chen didn't spit out a single bubble during the whole process? And after he got up, his breathing didn't change at all. He was still breathing steadily as before. What does that mean? Those 20 minutes and 30 seconds were Brother Chen giving the people who challenged him later a chance."

"999, that's incredible! It's unbelievable that the record was broken so easily under these conditions. Will the next challenge also have to be completed under the same conditions? I'm afraid no one will dare to challenge it in the future!"

"No, keep it low-key. We'll allow them to challenge us in a still swimming pool, otherwise Brother Chen will be too lonely."

"It's lonely at the top!"

Besides leaving comments, many fans also sent virtual gifts, including rockets and airplanes. The production team must be the happiest of all. They're going to dominate the highlights and trending topics this episode. It's really hard for them to keep a low profile.

"Prepare drinks, unlimited tonight, to celebrate our Brother Chen breaking the Guinness World Record." Old Wang waved his hand and sent his assistant to make the arrangements.

Teacher He and Teacher Huang were slightly surprised when they received the news, but they were very calm about Chen Qing breaking the record. They were just a little surprised that Chen would agree to participate in the competition.

Meanwhile, in the goddess group
Shishi: As expected, the ending was uneventful. Brother Chen broke the record with ease. It's really hard for outstanding people to keep a low profile.

Xiao Ju: Brother Chen is the best! Hooray!
Honey: I always thought Brother Chen was amazing, but I didn't expect him to be this amazing. It feels like he didn't even try his best!
Mimi: Yes! He didn't even change his breathing when he got up, that's inhuman! It's practically inhuman! Isn't he afraid of attracting the attention of experts?
Qinqin: Don't make a fuss. It's just normal. Just sit down and say "666".

Hot Bar: Brother Chen's physical condition is just too good! No wonder he got Sister Xiao Gu pregnant in such a short time, amazing, amazing (drooling).

Xiao Gu: Reba, you're a goddess too, don't be a lecherous woman, and don't try anything with my little Chen Ge.

Mimi: On Dilraba, don't listen to Zhao Xiaodao. Brother Chen is so physically strong, he needs the warm embrace of other women. Open your heart and hug him!
A group of popular goddesses were fantasizing about a man in a group chat, practically ready to wash themselves clean and offer themselves up for a one-night stand. Meanwhile, Chen Qing and the others, having completed their challenge, returned to the Mushroom House. Due to time constraints, they didn't continue fishing in the stream.

"Chen, you're amazing! You even managed to complete a Guinness World Record for collecting snails. Impressive!" Teacher He said with a smile to Chen Qing as he entered.

"Xiao Chen, I think there's a saying that's more suitable for you than for me: Excellent people can take shortcuts as long as they start walking, while prodigies can take off from the spot as soon as they get going."

Teacher Huang genuinely felt that these words were more appropriate for Chen Qing. It was true that he was capable, but his capability was still within the standard of ordinary humans. Chen Qing's capability had already transcended the scope of ordinary human standards; to put it bluntly, he was simply inhuman.

"Keep a low profile, it's just standard practice. We're only slightly ahead of others, and we might be overtaken tomorrow."

Chen Qing doesn't think his record will be broken by anyone, and it might be rewritten soon. However, Chen Qing definitely won't participate in the challenge then. Besides the lack of challenge, he also wants to keep a low profile, which is why he started preparing after breaking the record.

A record that is only improved by a few seconds will still be considered for a breakthrough, but if the record is broken and the score is doubled, no one will want to challenge it anymore.

"Teacher Huang, how about adding some stir-fried snails for lunch? We all want some." Chen Qing quickly changed the subject to avoid them continuing the conversation and revealing other information about himself.

After all, everyone here except Ni Ni, Yang Chaoyue, and Zhang Yixin knows that he knows martial arts. If they talk about it and ask him to show off his skills, he will completely dominate the trending topics list again.

Keep a low profile and develop discreetly – that's the key.

"Sure, no problem. You guys clean the snails! I'll start stewing the braised pork."

A stir-fried snail dish doesn't take him long; the time-consuming part is the preparation. Besides, it was Chen Qing who suggested it. He would make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall if Chen Qing wanted to eat it.

It's just a small request, nothing more.

With many hands making light work, several dishes were quickly served, and everyone began to sit down and eat.

As Yang Chaoyue ate the delicious food prepared by Teacher Huang, his gaze was fixed on the eaves of the main entrance of the Mushroom House. He asked Chen Qing, "Brother Chen, how did you get this honor? Is there some glorious secret behind it that we don't know?"

As Yang Chaoyue spoke, everyone turned their attention to the plaque under the eaves, and then to Chen Qing, clearly curious about the same question.

There has been much speculation online about this plaque, with some saying it was awarded to Chen Qing because his extraordinary medical skills had saved so many lives. This speculation is widely accepted, given the sheer number of people Chen Qing has treated during this period.
Of course, some people had wild ideas, saying that it was because Chen Qing had developed a medicine that could prolong life, and this reason also gained a lot of support.
