《I'm the King Of Technology 》Chapter 440. Challenge Accepted
Advertisement
The next day, Landon, Beri and the whole team began their 3-week journey to Zhuli City..... before splitting up and each going their own way.
Meanwhile, Back in Baymard... the usually busy streets became even more chaotic.
The roads were packed and the sidewalks were busy with majority of the people moving towards District D.
And within the District, hundreds and thousands of people we're currently gathering in a massive stadium-like hall.
The place was rowdy and full of life!
And why wouldn't it be?
Today was the day many people had been waiting for.
Today... was the first day within 'World Record week 1'.
It's been 2 years since Baymard had begun their practice of creating World records..... as those who won and participated in them, usually ended up in the newspapers.... as well as in the world record part of the museum.
Their names would be legendary for many more years to come.
And due to this, they had also been seen as celebrities.... as people truly wanted to shake their hands and take portraits with them too.
And one shouldn't forget that every year, even though these people don't get any pay from doing this... an industry within Baymard, or even an association, like the human rights association, could end up giving them sponsorship deals and campaigns.
So they might get much more money at the end of the bargain.
And just this alone was enough to make many of them overly excited.
Last year, many of them had seen posters of the strongest man in the world eating the new vegetable Wraps from one of the most popular fast food places.... so how could they not want to sign a contract as well?
For now, contracts and campaigns only last a year, so as to give chances to other world record breakers.

Of course in the future, it might even last for 5 years if need be.
But for now, a year-long contract for these people, as already seen as a rare opportunity to them.
Hence everyone jumped to the scene excitedly.
Last year, the Caronians also joined in the fun... and they ended up having 2 world record holders to their name.
And now, all over empires would join in this year's own as well.
To be honest, many people had already heard about this world record thing..... and had travelled far and wide just to get to Baymard.
Many of them wanted to be proud champions who would leave some sort of legacy behind for their children.
They would be seen as heroes, as well as champions to their empires.
Thus many people wanted to participate in the event.
Anyway.... there were 3 weeks dedicated to world record-breaking and creating.
And after these 3 weeks, all winners... and even first runner ups, were advised to stick around Baymard for an extra week.
One should know that many companies, shops and industries.... would definitely send their representatives over, so as to watch the entire event.
If they saw anyone that they thought would fit as the new face of one of their products... then they would definitely get the person to sign a contract with them.
Of course, the person would definitely be paired handsomely and fairly as well.
Last year, the tallest girl in the world .... had posters of her wearing the spring collection outfits.... and now, several girls wanted to copy her style and wear what she was wearing.
She had become a celebrity just like that.
Apart from the winners, some first runner ups also managed to sign contracts as well.
So of course, everyone who won or came close to being a world champion holder.... had already planned to stick around for a week more, just in case they got a deal as well.

26-year-old Danver, who had arrived in Baymard a month earlier with his son and wife... also decided to participate in the festivity.
The reason why he had previously come, was because he wanted his son to school here in Baymard.
Of course he and his wife would have to work to pay the tuition, but he didn't have any problems with that.... as nothing was more important than his son's education and future.
Even though he was but a poor farmer from the empire of Deiferus, he had been saving money painstakingly for a year and a half now..... so as to plan for this move.
Anyway, while here... he had heard of the world record thing, and had immediately decided to participate in it, so as to make his wife and 7-year-old son feel proud of him.
"Aye... Danver.... if we don't leave now, we are going to be late!" Said Danver's neighbour on the 4th floor of the apartment complex that they were living in.
"Coming!" Danver said, while quickly locking his door.
His wife was at work, while his son was in school.
He hadn't told them of his plans to participate, lest they became disappointed with the results.
Hence right now, even though it was his off day... he was still sneaking around to go-to for the event.
Taking the bus, he and his friend quickly arrived at the spot excitedly.
Looking at the crowded place, Danver felt his heart rate increase rapidly.... as if it was ready to fly out of his chest any moment from now.
This is it!
Today was the day that he would change his life!
With that thought in mind, he and his friend struggled to slip through the crowd, until they finally got to the front.
The crowd before him was like a pool of people, with everyone moving in their own direction.
Some were leaving the place with joy written all over their faces, while others had sadness on theirs instead.
Some people left feeling anxious, as they were scared that even if they won a world record title now.....someone else would challenge it and beat their record before the end of the 3-week long event.
And of course while some were leaving, many were also going in as well.
"Welcome sirs..... are you participants or observers?"

An Extra-Ordinary Story about Ordinary People
In a different world, a different reality, where ordinary people occasionaly have extra-ordinary powers for no particular reason, we follow a number of characters, trying their best to live in this strange yet normal world. We have our first character, a currently nameless but sentinent creature who happened to find himself in the body of a strange fungus after an unknown incident that robbed him of not only his former body but of his memory, as well. Secondly, we follow Smith, a high-standing man who doesn't even need to explain which Smith he is, on top of the world, yet human enough to meet said fungus. And thirdly, we have another nameless character, who is burdened by the ability to summon things that he doesn't want. A charming gang, who will (most likely) meet at some point. --- All and all, it's a twist on the common super-hero world, where all super-heroes have somehow dissappeared, but not the possibility for new ones. The series that feature the mushroom-dude are the 123 ones, the stories that feature Smith are the ABC ones, and the ones that feature our newest character, the summoner-dude, are the abc ones. Neat, huh? Also, just a word of warning? The 123 ones are kind wierd, and you can skip the first few chapters and go straight to the ABC ones without missing too much. But I'd rather you didn't, since i really enjoyed writing them. In ABC and abc, the format changes to a more typical form, with proper grammar and stuff. So if you dont like the 123, I'd love it if you gave the ABC a chance :^) Anyhow, I hope you enjoy it!
