Cheng Youyou, reluctant to leave, tossed in another coin.
【Ha ha ha, hilarious, this is totally me.】
【Every time I think about studying, I end up looking at my phone games and say, “Just one more round.”】
【Ha ha ha, it’s just like me not wanting to study hard.】
Cheng Youyou tossed in the last coin she had just exchanged.
She secretly encouraged herself, “The final round, leaving it to fate.”
At the moment she pressed the confirmation key, Cheng Youyou, separated by the glass, exclaimed, “Oh my…”
Cheng Youyou opened the delivery slot and looked at what was in her hand, asking, “What is this?”
At that moment, the broadcast announced: 【Cheng Youyou has obtained the “S-rank Irrevocable Mandatory Enforcement Card.”】
Cheng Youyou’s face was filled with confusion: Who came up with this card name? It’s too cheesy.
For the first time, the broadcast explained the function of the skill card: 【S-rank Irrevocable Mandatory Enforcement Card. As the name suggests, whoever possesses this card will be forcibly compelled to use it, regardless of the next card they receive.】
Cheng Youyou understood: “So, if I draw an increase card next, no matter if I want to use it or not, my funds will increase.”
She added: “If I receive a decrease card, I also have no choice but to use it, regardless of my intentions.”
【This card is too ruthless!】
【From the looks of it, this card doesn’t seem to be anything good.】
【Exactly, guests who obtain an increase limit card would use the card skill themselves, but if it’s a decrease limit card, there might still be a chance not to use it. However, this inexplicable mandatory card will forcefully decrease the limit.】
【The game is getting more and more exciting.】
【I’m sweating bullets, worrying about Cheng Youyou.】
Cheng Youyou wasn’t nervous at all. She didn’t even give it a second thought.
What does all this winding and turning have to do with her and the program team? Anyway, she’s someone who’s planning to get a foot massage after work.
Cheng Youyou didn’t waste any more time. She found the foot massage parlor and walked in, asking straight away, “How much for a one-hour foot massage?”
The boss replied, “800 yuan.”
【Are you crazy? What about the 800 yuan?】
【Robbery! This is too expensive.】
【Wait a minute, what did Cheng Youyou say? One hour?! She’s going to get a one-hour foot massage?】
【Time is running out, Cheng Youyou, get down to business and go find the card.】
Even the barrage of comments began to express concern for Cheng Youyou.
Upon hearing the boss’s response, Cheng Youyou paused. She glanced at the countdown timer for this round of the game.
【There’s no way she’s going to spend that 800 yuan.】
Cheng Youyou looked at the countdown and asked, “Boss, how much does a one-hour and twenty-minute foot massage cost?”
The boss replied, “You’ve got a keen eye, I’ll give you a discount, 1000 yuan.”
Cheng Youyou didn’t hesitate for a moment: “Deal.”
She calculated the time and realized there was exactly one hour and twenty minutes left until the end of the program.
【???】
【Can someone explain to me what she’s doing?】
【The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is1In practical terms, it suggests a scenario where those with less power or responsibility are more eager or anxious to get things done than those with greater authority or control.! I’m freaking out off-screen, and Cheng Youyou is actually getting a massage?】
【And she’s using up all the remaining time for a foot massage?】
【No, no, no, Cheng Youyou is definitely not an ordinary person. She must have great wisdom.】
【I still doubt it. She has once again seen through the program team. Perhaps this is her winning strategy.】
【You upstairs, you’re such a Cheng fanboy. Wake up, you don’t need to make excuses for her like this.】
The barrage of comments kept the atmosphere lively, while behind the director’s console, Director Wang stood ready: “All cameras at the foot massage parlor, focus on Cheng Youyou.”
In the camera feed, Cheng Youyou sat with her eyes closed, listening to music, blissfully enjoying her foot massage.
As time passed, Cheng Youyou became so comfortable that she was on the verge of falling asleep.
While she was enjoying herself in a daze, the announcements on the broadcast continued to echo.
Ding Yaxin frantically searched for her card while keeping an eye on the system’s updates. The system still hadn’t displayed any news about Cheng Youyou falling into a pit.
She couldn’t understand it. The pits were clearly set up, so why weren’t they having any effect?
Ding Yaxin found this pitfall design quite clever. There were pits located 20 meters to the east, south, west, and north of Cheng Youyou’s initial position. Normally, given the time that had passed, Cheng Youyou should have encountered an accident by now.
Unless… the system had dropped the ball.
Ding Yaxin planned to go and see for herself, to assess the situation.
However, as she was getting ready to leave, she thought of a question: Where was Cheng Youyou?
Ding Yaxin: 【Send me Cheng Youyou’s location.】
System: 【You need to pay 100,000 yuan.】
Ding Yaxin: 【Are you crazy?”】
The system insists again: 【Please pay 100,000 yuan.】
Ding Yaxin felt that the system today was acting like artificial stupidity. She became even more suspicious that the system definitely didn’t do its job this time.
She had to find Cheng Youyou to see the specific situation.
With only twenty minutes left until the end of the game, Ding Yaxin heard a broadcast announcing the current card holdings and funds of the guests as she searched for Cheng Youyou.
【Ding Yaxin: 49,800 yuan, with three reduction cards, valued at 300 yuan, 500 yuan, and 1000 yuan respectively.】
【Zhou Hao: 34,000 yuan, with two reduction cards, valued at 200 yuan and 500 yuan respectively, along with one enforced card.】
【Li Yiyun: 26,000 yuan, with one enforced card and one reduction card valued at 400 yuan.】
【Zhao Mengran: 23,000 yuan, one compulsory execution card, one deduction card worth 1,000 yuan.】
【Wang Wensheng: 18,000 yuan, one compulsory execution card.】
【Cheng Youyou: 4,855 yuan, with one S-level enforced card that cannot be resolved.】
While getting her foot massage, Cheng Youyou also heard the announcement.
Cheng Youyou: “Why do I still have so much money left?”
She found her small backpack and planned to see if the program team had made a mistake.
Then, she discovered a shiny golden envelope under her small backpack.
She had been getting her foot massage with her eyes closed since she entered the foot massage shop, and her small backpack was placed casually. She didn’t even notice that there were shiny golden envelopes underneath it.
The sparkling golden envelope piqued Cheng Youyou’s curiosity. No girl could resist something so shiny and dazzling.
Cheng Youyou opened the envelope, but before she could see clearly, suddenly!
A super intense background music blasted from the radio, ringing for a few seconds before announcing, “Congratulations! Cheng Youyou has obtained an SSR card: First Place Exchange Card.”
Cheng Youyou: ???
She was just a corporate worker waiting to get off work, so why was she drawn into the whirlpool again?
Before everyone could understand the function of this card, they heard the announcement again on the radio: 【The amount held by the guests was updated in real time, Cheng Youyou 49,800 yuan, Ding Yaxin 4,855 yuan, and the amount held by the rest remained unchanged.】
At this moment, the camera simultaneously focused on Cheng Youyou and Ding Yaxin, with one on the left and one on the right, splitting the screen into two.
Cheng Youyou and Ding Yaxin both widened their eyes.
Ding Yaxin couldn’t hold back her frustration: “What’s going on? I clearly had 49,800 yuan, how did it suddenly disappear?”
【I also didn’t understand the rules. What’s going on?】
【Did the program make a mistake?】
Cheng Youyou looked at the two cards in her hand and understood, “Can it still be played like this?”
【It seems like I understand now too.】
The broadcast announced, “Cheng Youyou possesses an S-class Irrevocable Mandatory Enforcement Card. No matter what card she draws next, it will be subjected to the function of the Enforcement Card. And the card she just drew is the First Place Exchange Card. With the combination of these two cards, she has exchanged her holdings with the holder of the first place.”
Cheng Youyou glanced at the card in her hand. “It’s quite unexpected.”
She was already prepared to exit the game, but ended up getting such a large sum of money.
【I told you she had her plan.】
【I really think Cheng Youyou is very intelligent.】
【See, this is what a master looks like.】
【Cheng Youyou might have planned this out in advance.】
【Cheng Youyou’s level of thinking is incomparable, she’s amazing.】
Cheng Youyou: “How much time is left until the end of the competition?”
The staff reminded, “There are still fifteen minutes left.”
At this moment, the broadcast sounded again: “Now entering the looting phase. As long as you seize someone else’s card and funds, all spoils belong to the looter.”
Cheng Youyou nodded. “Got it.”
【We’ve finally reached this stage!】
【In fact, Cheng Youyou probably thought of this stage when she asked about the electronic map.】
【Cheng Youyou was probably thinking about this when she asked about the remaining time just now.】
The next moment, Cheng Youyou closed her eyes and said to the foot masseur, “There’s only fifteen minutes left. Please continue the massage.”
As time ticked away, the frenzy outside had reached its peak, yet no one could locate Cheng Youyou.
Nobody even considered the possibility that Cheng Youyou would be inside the foot massage parlor.
Wang Wensheng seized the opportunity and grabbed Ding Yaxin by the arm. “Hand it over,” he demanded.
Broadcast: 【Ding Yaxin has been robbed of 1000 yuan. Current holdings: 3855 yuan. Wang Wensheng holds 19,000 yuan.】
The competition on the field intensified, with the broadcast continuously updating each person’s remaining amount of money.
Cheng Youyou’s wealth remained steadfastly intact, not a single penny diminished.
For all the guests present, Cheng Youyou now stood as a figure akin to a feudal landlord.
At some point, Wang Wensheng found himself on higher ground, nervously shouting at the others rushing towards him, “Let’s not turn on each other!”
Wang Wensheng raised his arms and shouted, “Let’s overthrow the rich and redistribute the land! Let’s go after the big shot Cheng Youyou!”
His words jolted everyone awake.
With everyone scrambling frantically, they had now descended into chaos, with no one able to guarantee that they would emerge unscathed in the end.
Everyone was in a deadlock, no one dared to take the next step, fearing they would become the target of the others’ aggression with one reckless move.
Wang Wensheng took the opportunity to call for unity, “It’s pointless for us to fight like this. Why not unite?”
Before everyone could express their stance, Ding Yaxin spoke up first, “Yes, we need to find Cheng Youyou!”
Ding Yaxin was looking for Cheng Youyou, and now, she and Wang Wensheng were in perfect agreement.
Zhao Mengran and Li Yiyun were panting from exhaustion, exchanging glances with each other. They couldn’t guarantee whether Ding Yaxin was a friend or foe, so they hesitated to make a decision.
Zhou Hao stood nearby, neither too close nor too far. “I still think the money in front of me is more important.”
Then, he cast his gaze onto Ding Yaxin’s wallet.
Ding Yaxin looked at Zhou Hao’s eager eyes and was immediately startled. Clutching her wallet tightly, she ran for her life.
Zhou Hao shrugged, “I don’t bully girls.”
Then he added, “I can’t stand girls bullying girls.”
Ding Yaxin didn’t have much money left, and now she was so scared that she ran around without a clear direction. Suddenly, she passed through the large glass window of the foot massage shop, not too close, not too far, only about four or five meters away from Ding Yaxin.
Ding Yaxin’s eyes lit up. Right now, she was determined to catch Cheng Youyou off guard and swallow all her money when she least expected it.
Ding Yaxin’s mind was clouded by the joy of victory. She rushed forward recklessly…
Then, everyone heard a deafening scream: “Ahh!!!”
Emergency broadcast: 【Mobile medical team on standby, mobile medical team on standby. Ding Yaxin fell into a pit.】
Ding Yaxin fell into a pit, falling into the trap she had set for herself.
