"He's a retired paratrooper!"
Ash said, "And during his service, he received two collective second-class merits, one individual second-class merit, four third-class merits, and was rated as an excellent soldier."
Blake marveled, "That resume is truly impressive."
James added, "And The Bucket List he chose seems tailor-made for him."
"You're right, he might really become the second successful challenger," Rose said.
"If I remember correctly..." Zoe furrowed her eyebrows slightly, "Lewis chose the same last wish."
Ash chuckled, "That's right, he chose the same one. And Lewis' physical condition is also excellent. Now, it's a matter of who can complete this last wish."
Blake asked, "What happens if two people complete a last wish at the same time?"
Ash replied, "Whoever finishes first will receive the reward."
"What about other challengers who choose the same last wish?"
"They will be immediately eliminated."
"Alright, the rules are quite harsh."
As they were talking, the landline on the table rang again.
Ash clicked the speakerphone. "Hello, this is the 'Bucket List' program team."
"Hello, Ash, this is Lewis."
"Lewis? Hello." Ash was a bit surprised.
The others, upon hearing it was Lewis, also fell silent and listened intently.
Lewis said, "Please contact the cameraman. I will start challenging a new last wish from today."
"Today?"
"Yes."
"Alright, please keep your phone on. The cameraman will contact you at the first opportunity."
"Okay, thanks."
After hanging up, Ash said, "Unexpected, truly unexpected."
Rose agreed, "Yeah, I thought Lewis would wait seven days before starting the challenge."
Blake took a sip of tea and pondered, "I guess Lewis might be feeling pressure."
"I have that feeling too," James said. "He's probably worried that this Challenger No. 62 will complete the challenge before him, so he ended his vacation early."
Ash asked, "Observers, who do you think is more likely to complete this last wish, Lewis or David?"
James and Blake answered in unison, "David."
Zoe also said, "Although I really like Lewis and have high hopes for him, the other party is a retired paratrooper. Just for this last wish, Lewis doesn't have any advantage."
"Although my Lewis is strong, this last wish isn't something that can be handled just by having excellent physical condition."
"Yeah, and the other party is an paratrooper. That's such a perfect match for this challenge!"
[Duck King]: Unconditionally supporting my Lewis!
Lewis chose to start the challenge today partly for this reason.
But in fact, when he upgraded [Parachuting] to master level last night, he had already decided to start the challenge today.
David's appearance only made him move up the timing by a few hours.
Although he felt that even professional paratroopers might not always complete precision parachuting.
But even a lion attacking a rabbit must use its full strength.
He would never underestimate any opponent.
...
Amber, South Mount County.
In an ordinary residential building, a man around thirty years old, standing at one meter eighty-three tall, with a muscular build and a buzz cut, suddenly received a phone call.
After finishing the call, a smile appeared on the man's face.
He had become a standby challenger for the "Bucket List" program team. When asked which last wish he chose, he immediately stated the one he had already decided on.
Three hours later, the cameraman would arrive at his place, and the live brast would begin.
And he began preparing for the challenge.
Professional running shoes with good shock absorption.
Warm clothing to keep him from the cold.
He couldn't prepare much, but within the scope of preparation, he wanted to do his best.
On the other side, Lewis waited at home for an hour and a half.
The cameraman arrived.
He had already changed into sneakers and worn a baseball cap, meeting the cameraman in the hall.
"Mr. Lewis, are you ready?"
"Yes."
"Alright, then let's start the live brast."
The cameraman turned on the camera, and the No. 1 live brast room, which had been dark for a few days, went live again.
And when the brast started, the number of online viewers instantly surpassed 500,000!
[Duck King]: Lewis, your fan is here!
"Finally seeing Lewis again, I've missed you so much!"
"Two days, I haven't seen you for two days. Do you know how I've been these two days?"
"Did you notice? Lewis seems to have become more handsome."
"Lewis was already handsome, okay?"
"What I mean is, Lewis has more charisma now."
"Charisma, my ass! Even a dog living in a hundred-million-USD mansion can have charisma! If you want to flatter, just do it, don't be like this, okay?"
Ash looked at the crazy surge in Lewis' live brast data and praised, "Lewis is indeed impressive, his popularity is really terrifying."
"It's not just terrifying. On the first day of the program, he trended on Twitter and even topped the trending list for two consecutive days!"
"I heard that even the world champion in marathon personally posted a congratulatory message on Twitter for him."
Blake said, "His abilities deserve this popularity."
Ash nodded and said, "He seems to be ng tickets."
Lewis was indeed ng tickets. He was ng a high-speed rail ticket to Linder.
That would be the location for his second last wish challenge.
The program team immediately d tickets for the cameraman on the same train as Lewis.
After ng the tickets, Lewis went outside and hailed a taxi to the high-speed rail station.
After getting off the taxi, Lewis suddenly turned around and held out his hand to the three cameramen, "The taxi fare is 30 USD, and there are four of us, so it's 7.5 USD each."
The cameramen were stunned, looking at each other before finally saying, "Uh... we need to contact the program team first."
"Contact them while we walk," Lewis said.
Technically, splitting the fare equally among the four was fine since they were all riding together.
However, Lewis' action caught many people off guard.
Ash couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, "Lewis is really frugal."
Zoe asked, "Is he not violating the program team's rules by doing this?"
"No," Rose shook her head, "since the cameramen are technically hitchhiking..."
"Haha, hilarious. Lewis, you're a billionaire, how can you bring yourself to do this?"
"If it were me, I couldn't bring it up."
"Other challengers have also shared rides with the cameramen, but Lewis is the first one to ask for money."
[Duck King]: You don't understand. Lewis is reasonably using all rules within the allowed scope. There's nothing wrong with it, okay? And twenty-odd USD is enough for Lewis to have a meal, so this money must be saved!
While waiting for the train, the cameramen gave Lewis 22.5 USD.
Lewis pocketed it and casually asked, "After we arrive, shall we have lunch together?"
The cameramen shook their heads vigorously, "No, no, we'll eat by ourselves."
"Alright."
Lewis felt a bit disappointed.
Having more people to eat with meant they could order more dishes and split the bill, which would be more cost-effective.
They really don't know how to manage their finances.
