Chapter 47: I Am the Most Stubborn One of All!

[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully checking in today. Reward…]
Jiang Yun had no idea how long he’d been squatting beside the female swindler.
The system’s voice sounded in his mind, but Jiang Yun paid no attention to what reward he’d received this time.
At this moment, he was curiously eating the same kind of bread as the woman across from him.
He suspected that the bakery owner had cheated him earlier.
This bread simply didn’t have the strong sense of fullness it was supposed to!
Soon, after eating a whole piece of bread and taking a sip of water, Jiang Yun’s confusion grew deeper.
Just now, after eating only one piece, he’d felt about sixty percent full.
Though he wasn’t completely satiated, it at least proved the bread’s filling quality was quite high!
Most importantly, he was a man—
A man with a strong, robust body!
If he felt sixty percent full after one piece, then a woman at most could eat two!
Especially the female swindler before him, who looked frail and thin.
But the strangest thing was, she had already eaten two pieces right in front of Jiang Yun!
And now, she was working on the third!
She ate slowly, but she hadn’t stopped for a moment.
Jiang Yun glanced at the chat comments.
“Damn, has this woman been eating two pieces of bread for an hour?”
“Wait, isn’t this swindler planning to leave?”
“Uh-oh, Jiang Yun’s met his match—a stubborn swindler.”
“No way, when someone gets exposed for scamming, shouldn’t they just move on? She’s actually sitting here and eating?”
“…”
Everyone expressed their confusion at the woman’s behavior.
In their eyes, once a swindler was caught, she should immediately leave and find a new place!
Yet she was actually eating bread!
The audience was all eagerly waiting for her to be exposed and then slink away, with Jiang Yun following her wherever she went to scam, purposely making things difficult for her…
That was the scenario they wanted to see!
Not watching her with her head down, slowly eating bread!
“I’ll just see how long you can keep eating,” Jiang Yun muttered, then sat down directly across from her, eyes fixed intently on her.
At that moment, a viewer noticed something odd.
“Huh, the stream has been live for over two hours. Jiang Yun hasn’t ended it yet?”
“Shut up, you above!”
“Exactly, where else would we watch if he stopped now?”
“We’ve watched her eat bread for over an hour, you’re not going to let us finish?”
“…”
“Jiang Yun can’t end the stream until the swindler admits defeat!”
“…”
Jiang Yun knew his broadcast had gone over two hours today.
Even the system voice had sounded in his mind.
But he didn’t mind working overtime today.
Just as the viewers said, he wanted to see how long this woman could keep eating!
She was stubborn, but Jiang Yun was no less so.
He’d watch her eat until she quit, until she admitted defeat!
Another hour passed quickly.
By now, the swindler had finished her third piece of bread.
But anyone could see her eating speed was slowing dramatically.
When the third piece was gone, she squatted in place, unmoving, as if hesitating.
Seeing this, Jiang Yun’s eyes lit up.
He’d squatted here for over two hours; his livestream audience had shrunk from more than twenty thousand to just six thousand.
Many couldn’t stand the boredom and left.
But those who stayed shared Jiang Yun’s anticipation—
Was she finally going to admit defeat?!
“The swindler’s hesitating! She doesn’t dare eat anymore!”
“She’s finished three, and finally realized something’s wrong! She’s about to surrender!”
“Is she finally going to give up and leave?”
“Two hours of waiting, and finally we get to see this moment!”
“…”
Just as everyone’s hearts rose with excitement, the swindler seemed to sense their words.
She lifted her head slightly and looked at Jiang Yun.
When she saw his excitement, the woman appeared to make a decision, and without hesitation… she pulled another piece of bread from her bag and began eating!
“Damn!!!”
That was the thought echoing in Jiang Yun’s mind and the hearts of all his viewers!
Watching her slowly chew, Jiang Yun steeled himself.
He walked to a nearby convenience store, rented a power bank, plugged in his dying phone to prevent the stream from ending, and bought a small folding stool.
Then he sat right across from her, motionless, staring her down.
Today, he was determined to see this through! He refused to believe she wouldn’t surrender!
“Damn, is this woman insane? She still won’t leave?”
“Damn it, the swindler is insane, and so is Jiang Yun!”
“Forget them, I must be crazy too—I’ve been watching this the whole time!”
“Damn, I have work tomorrow, just leave already!”
“How long are they going to keep arguing like this?”
“We just want to see the swindler admit defeat, what’s so wrong about that? Just leave!”
“…”
With the barrage of complaints from the viewers, the swindler’s eating slowed even further.
As if she could see the live chat.
Time ticked by, and Jiang Yun lost track of how much had passed; he felt himself growing drowsy.
The streetlights had gone out at some point, and the night market stalls closed, with a faint glow appearing on the horizon…
By then, the swindler had eaten eight pieces of bread!
Eight!
A number far beyond Jiang Yun’s own estimate of his appetite!
Yet still, she didn’t stop.
Each time she finished a piece, she’d glance up at Jiang Yun.
By now, his live viewers had dwindled to just over three thousand.
Most had given up, gone to sleep.
Only a handful remained, enduring alongside Jiang Yun and the swindler.
Beep, beep, beep!
As the street filled with more car horns and pedestrians passed by, Jiang Yun realized it was already eight in the morning!
He’d been locked in this showdown with the woman for more than seven hours!
Neither stubborn soul was willing to admit defeat.
Jiang Yun refused to give up on seeing her embarrass herself, and she had no intention of moving on!
“Wait, I woke up and Jiang Yun is still here?”
“Damn, did he really spend the whole night facing off with the swindler?”
“Wow, his eyes are bloodshot—did he really stay up all night?”
“Incredible!!!”
“The clash of the stubborn!”
“…”
As some viewers woke up, the numbers in Jiang Yun’s stream began climbing again.
Soon, they were back up to over eight thousand.
Faced with a screen full of questions, Jiang Yun merely smiled, moved the camera aside, and lit a cigarette for himself.
“I am the most stubborn of all—no one can outlast me! No one!”
His tone was firm, as if he were accomplishing something heroic.
Across from him, the swindler paused her eating for a moment, then—after hearing his words—actually started eating faster!
