[The 133rd item on "The Bucket List" has been completed. The reward is unexpectedly...]

[Shocking! This man breaks four world records in a single day!]

[Fancy push-ups! Watch Lewis complete the 100 details of "The Bucket List" in HD!]

[Exclusive full video of Lewis completing the 133rd item on "The Bucket List"!]

After posting these shocking headlines one after another, Tom collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep instantly.

He had given it his all; now it was up to fate.

...

Morning, 8 o'clock.

At this hour, students had arrived at school, either for morning self-study or morning exercises.

White-collar workers were commuting by subway or bus, still bearing traces of sleepiness on their faces.

Grasping onto handrails with one hand and their phones with the other, they surfed the internet for news and watched short videos during their commute...

"Someone completed 'The Bucket List'?"

A young man curiously clicked on the video, one of the videos produced by Tom.

The video was seven minutes, starting with the host announcing the program rules, followed by Lewis stepping up to choose the 133rd item on the list, and then detailing the specific content of that item.

Upon reaching this part, the young man muttered to himself, "How could anyone possibly complete this kind of item?"

The video then cut to Lewis doing sit-ups, with the cameraman counting beside him.

This section of the video is played at 30x speed. As Lewis completed one uninterrupted sit-up after another, the young man couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment.

Next, Lewis moved onto pull-ups.

After finishing one thousand, the young man was completely bewildered.

Then, ten thousand push-ups.

At this point, the young man's mind went blank.

He felt his knees weakening, wanting to kneel before this man.

As a result, he didn't catch the excited speech made by the host after Lewis finished the marathon.

"So... someone really can do it!"

"This Lewis, his physical fitness is incredibly monster-like!"

On various forums, these videos were also being spread rapidly.

Each video had an astonishing amount of views.

"I'm absolutely blown away. Seriously, I'm in awe. Is Lewis a human or a ghost?"

"Can someone knowledgeable tell me, can a normal person achieve this level of fitness through training?"

"It's terrifying, but indeed someone can do it. It's just that there are only a couple of such people in the world."

"Too scary. He can even do so many fancy pull-ups and push-ups."

"The scariest part is that he broke four world records in one day!"

"My knees are giving out and I want to kneel. What's the diagnosis for that?"

At 9 o'clock, a topic quietly trended on Twitter: The First Man to Complete "The Bucket List".

At this moment, the topic ranked 39th on the trending list.

But its popularity was surging at a terrifying speed.

A few minutes later, it rose to 31st.

A few more minutes passed, and it jumped to 16th!

By 9:30, the topic had soared to 7th place, officially breaking into the top ten!

Throughout the morning, almost all forums were flooded with news related to Lewis.

At 10 o'clock.

The official Twitter account of "The Bucket List" posted a tweet.

"Congratulations to Contestant No. 1 Lewis for completing all the challenges of the 133rd item. Currently, Sky Group is verifying his completed challenges. The results will be announced tomorrow. Stay tuned!"

This tweet boosted Lewis' already sky-high popularity even further.

"I really want to know what reward Lewis will get."

"A villa? A sports car? Company shares?"

"Even if it's the worst, it should still be worth millions."

"I'm super jealous."

"I hate not being a woman so I can't marry him."

Although Lewis didn't appear in the program's live stream today, his shadow was everywhere on the internet.

Meanwhile, in capital city, at the gym of a five-star hotel.

A lean black man stepped off the treadmill and returned to his room.

As soon as he entered, his phone rang. It was his agent calling.

"Hey, Eliud, your record has been broken!"

The black man smiled, "Oh, Robin, is that true? That's really surprising."

Robin spoke seriously, "Eliud, I'm not kidding. I'm serious."

"Really?" Eliud asked in amazement, "Who did it?"

"A man from eastern land. He ran it in under 2 hours!"

"Is that true?" Eliud couldn't believe it.

He was the world record holder for the marathon and the first athlete to run it in under 2 hours.

Although his record-breaking race was not recognized by the IAAF, it didn't stop him from setting a new world record.

Currently, besides him, no one else in the world had been able to run a marathon in under two hours.

And now, his agent told him that his record had been broken.

If it wasn't his agent saying this, he would think the other person was joking.

He came to this country to participate in a sports event.

But he didn't expect to encounter such a thing. It was truly unexpected.

"I've sent you the video. Watch it yourself. He's amazing, incredibly amazing," Robin said.

Eliud clicked on tTarak, which was the full video of Lewis running the marathon.

Eliud started watching, very intently.

Lewis' stride length and frequency, as well as his breathing rhythm while running, were perfect.

He found the perfect rhythm right from the start.

Eliud specially looked at Lewis' shoes. For a professional athlete, shoes are the wings that carry their dreams.

A pair of Nike, a very ordinary pair of Nike shoes.

They probably cost no more than a thousand USD.

He broke his record wearing these shoes?

Eliud continued watching.

Soon, the video ended.

Eliud couldn't help but stand up, watching the video, and applauded with both hands, "He's a natural runner!"

He was excited and didn't feel upset about his record being broken.

On the contrary, he felt like he had met a kindred spirit.

He wanted to share his joy with others.

He picked up his phone, opened Twitter, typed a message, translated it into the new language using a translation app, and posted it.

[Eliud Kipchoge]: Congratulations to Lewis for setting a new marathon world record. You're a natural runner. You're still so young, and I believe you can run even better times!

"Wow, Eliud has spoken!"

"Oh my, it's Eliud! It's really Eliud!"

"Lewis is amazing! Even Eliud recognizes you!"

"What's it like to be recognized by a world champion? Lewis: Thank you for the invitation. I'm in the Magic City and just broke four world records."

"It's got that flavor. Isn't this Lewis' usual tone?"

With Eliud's Twitter post, Lewis' already skyrocketing popularity exploded even more.

Moreover, this tweet instantly trended on Twitter within just half an hour.
