Book 1: Chapter 199
Fatty looked at the distance, looked at his stomach, and then looked at me very seriously, "Mr. Nave, we have to take it seriously this time. If I fall, do you still need to blow up this bell? I'll settle this all by myself. Not only will the thing below become obedient, but I'll have two children with it and make them call you Uncle' when you come to see me next year."
This had gotten so ridiculous that I didnt even want to talk anymore. I told him that it was the same if I fell down because Id probably give birth to four fucking babies.
Poker-Face lowered his hand and looked at us helplessly while Black Glasses smiled and scolded us, "Dont mind us, you two just keep messing around. Mute, let's go back up and crack some melon seeds first (1). Wu Xie, if you couldnt do it, you shouldve said so earlier. Were going back."
I looked at the distance and then looked at Fatty before cursing in my heart. I slapped myself twice and said, "Come on. You better fucking throw accurately."
Fatty laughed mischievously and told me that it would be fine. The water below was deep enough and he had jumped from this height at the swimming pool every day. When he said that, he told me to stick my butt out, grabbed the back of my waistband with one hand, and pulled my collar with the other. I told him to let me take a deep breath first, but before I finished speaking, Fatty shouted, Lets go!
As my whole body was lifted up and tossed directly into the air, I heard the sound of my belt breaking. I clenched my teeth and stretched my hand out. Poker-Face grabbed me and I hit the bell directly with a loud noise.
At that time, my whole body was shaking and I felt as if my brain and the bell had resonated completely.
Poker-Face was holding onto my wrist so tightly that I felt as if my hand was going to die.
It took me a second or two to come to my senses, and when I did, I found that my lower body felt chilly. I looked down and saw that my belt was broken and my pants had fallen to my thighs. I immediately went to pull them up with my other hand, but Fatty shouted, "Don't worry about it! Its not like everyone here doesnt have it! Hurry up!"
I looked around and saw that the dirt clump was supported by some copper poles, which penetrated into the clump and were fixed to the sides of the bell. I looked at my flashlight. It was very sturdy and could even be used to beat the shit out of people. I lifted it up and hit it against one of the copper poles. There was a loud clang, the copper pole broke, and a crack appeared in the earthen clump, releasing a foul odor.

TN Notes:
(1) Cracking melon seeds is the equivalent of getting popcorn ready. Basically, theyre ready to watch a show lol.
(2) I think this is a pun. Zongzi is slang for zombie. Its also a traditional Chinese rice dish made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo leaves. In the West, theyre called rice dumplings. If its not a pun on food, then it might be a pun about porn or prostitutes. I got some uhinteresting google results lol
(3) Yang energy is apparently masculine because its very active and energetic. I think it can help turn corpses into zombies or something.

The image of Wu Xie smacking into the bell that popped into my head lol:
I'm also convinced the man doesn't wear underwear. How has he lived this long? lol
