Life is Easier If You're Handsome novel Chapter 271

—“Privileges will be granted in order according to the results of the preliminary test.”

—“Starting from the highest ranks, each will choose their opponent.”

—“Therefore, the first to select an opponent will be...”

—“Group A, Kim Donghu.”

The moment the series of broadcast announcements ended, everyone instinctively turned to look at Kim Donghu.

Who would he choose? And just what kind of strength would he show?

‘If the broadcast is to be believed, there are three arenas total—a playground-like area, a mud pit... and the cage.’

‘So those with the higher rank ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) get to pick the location and the opponent?’

‘That’s definitely an advantage. Choosing the stage and opponent...’

As the participants exchanged thoughts in silence,

Kim Donghu rose from his chair with an air of utter calm.

His expression said he’d known who he’d choose from the start.

And the direction he moved toward wasn’t the lowest rung, where the lights didn’t even reach—

“Kade Walker, should we just do the finals right here?”

—But directly to the row beneath his own.

The spot where Kade Walker, ranked in the TOP 10, was seated.

“...Seriously? Are you serious right now?”

“Yes, I’m asking. If you’re open to it, I’d like to choose you.”

“...”

At that bold question, Kade Walker’s pupils dilated wide.

He’d been an athlete for a long time.

Always kept himself at the top.

So he instantly understood what Kim Donghu meant by saying this.

“I didn’t expect you to be the kind of guy who crushes someone’s spirit like this.”

“It’s fun, isn’t it?”

The one with the right to choose hands that right to someone else.

The one ranked higher gives the lower-ranked the authority to decide the match.

This wasn’t kindness.

It was a dare.

If you’ve got the confidence, then go ahead and accept.

A move meant to crush the opponent with sheer momentum.

‘And he’s doing that... to me, Kade Walker.’

Height: 191 cm. Weight: 110 kg on average.

Currently taking PEDs, his physical condition was at its peak.

And yet this guy was doing this on purpose to break him?

A scoff slipped out.

“Ha.”

It came out naturally.

“...”

But despite that, he couldn’t easily accept the challenge.

Sure, the guy was probably shorter and weighed less than him.

Then why did he seem bigger?

Even so, he had no choice but to grab it.

He had to.

Just as Kade Walker was about to open his mouth—

“Just kidding. You’re way too strong, Mr. Kade. Honestly, you scare me.”

Kim Donghu backed off with a playful grin, quickly stepping to the side.

‘That should be enough to give them the shot they wanted.’

Even if <Physical 300> was a program focused on physical competition,

Its foundation was still, at its core, entertainment.

Pulling off a scene like that was incredibly important.

So after getting the ideal shot,

Kim Donghu turned toward the opponent he’d had in mind from the beginning.

The person he’d sworn to challenge if the game involved taking a ball.

Step, step.

“Hey, hey, hey, wait—where’s Kim Donghu going?”

“Wait... who’s he heading toward?”

“No way. No freaking way, right?”

“Wow, no way... wait. I think it is.”

Ranked 263rd in the preliminary test.

“Let’s do this.”

“...Are you serious?”

“Absolutely. Let’s make something beautiful in that mud pit.”

Height: 2 meters 3 centimeters. Weight: 186 kilograms.

Angus the Highland Wall.

Winner of the 2021 World’s Strongest Man competition.

***

Kim Donghu vs Angus the Highland Wall.

The moment that match was set—

“This is fucking insane!!!”

<Physical 300> PD Ji Yonghu couldn’t hold back his shout.

He normally loathed profanity, but

The second the match was confirmed, the excitement overwhelmed him.

Even after other intense and thrilling matches were decided,

None could match the dopamine rush of ‘Kim Donghu vs Angus.’

The man said to be the strongest in the world,

Against the one currently considered the strongest on Earth.

‘Feels like something straight out of a comic book.’

Starting with Kim Donghu’s match decision—

The 300 participants quickly found their pairs.

And since there was no need to delay,

They were given about 20 minutes to warm up before the ball-stealing game began.

“...Wow, both Donghu and Angus aren’t saying a word while warming up like beasts.”

“Their focus is insane. With this many people watching, too.”

The rules of the game were simple.

The person who holds the ball—about the size of a human torso and wrapped in leather—

Until the end, wins.

Each match lasts three minutes, and striking is strictly prohibited.

Body contact and wrestling-like movements were allowed, of course.

But any deliberate striking, if caught, resulted in immediate disqualification.

If no one held the ball for the full three minutes, a two-minute overtime would begin.

It resembled the ball-stealing games people played as kids.

Only this version was... a little more extreme.

‘He... picked me.’

Angus, realizing the situation, rushed to finish warming up.

He had to build up heat quickly and loosen his muscles.

‘This will go down as the biggest and most glorious battle of my life.’

Kim Donghu.

Smaller than him. Weighed less. An East Asian.

In the past, he might’ve dismissed him without a second thought.

But the moment their eyes met, when they squared off, he realized—

‘He’s like a fortress.’

This translation is the intellectual property of Novelight.

He sensed overwhelming power in this small East Asian man.

But still, he believed he would win in the end.
