Chapter 132: The Last Member

"I have the same song," Mr. Big News said.

Xu Jiji was clearly pleased when he heard the news, his eyes sparkling in excitement. "We’re teammates again, brother!"

Mr. Big News smiled in return. However, he wasn’t done speaking yet. "Actually, I found two music sheets."

The others looked at each other. There was only one missing sheet left for their team. That meant that Mr. Big News had two music sheets from different songs.

"I do too," Xu Jiji shared, oblivious to that fact. He was just too happy to be teammates with his good brother three times in a row.

Mr. Big News smiled wryly. Then, he produced the music sheets out of his inventory. Xu Jiji went over to him to see the music sheets Mr. Big News had.

"Oh, it’s the same songs too!" Xu Jiji said.

"Really?"

Xu Jiji nodded and took out his music sheets from his inventory too. The two looked at them together.

Mr. Big News had the fourth page of World of Art — the second part of the chorus. It was certainly a good part for a vocalist like him. The music sheet from the other song was also a good fit for his voice. It was an R&B song.

Now, Mr. Big News had to make a choice. Would he choose the World of Art or the R&B song?

Mr. Big News’s face scrunched up gradually as the seconds passed, torn over the two options. Until finally, he made up his mind.

He looked apologetically toward Xu Jiji. "Can I trade my page with yours?"

"Eh?" Xu Jiji titled his head, but realized after what he meant. "Okay..."

The two completed the trade within a few seconds. After Mr. Big News handed over his own World of Art sheet to Xu Jiji, he hurriedly went to find his other teammates. Xu Jiji pouted, heading back to his teammates too.

Now, they have the complete set of the song. There were still seven minutes left before the hour was supposed to end, so they waited by the side.

Other desperate participants who had seen the transaction between Xu Jiji and Mr. Big News approached him to bargain for his extra page, but the kid only ignored them.

However, a beautiful figure approached the sullen Xu Jiji.

"Jiji, what’s wrong?" Iris asked.

Hearing the familiar voice, Xu Jiji lifted his gaze. "S—Iris."

He was able to stop himself at the last moment in uttering the forbidden word.

"What’s wrong?" Iris repeated her question.

"Nothing." Xu Jiji lowered his head once more, his lips still pouted.

Their conversation was cut off. Iris had a frown on her gentle face. She repeatedly opened and closed her mouth, as if hesitating whether to say what was on her mind. However, when she glanced at the time in the clock, she couldn’t hold back anymore.

"Jiji, do you have an extra music sheet?" Iris asked.

Xu Jiji looked at her again. "Yes."

"Can... you sell it to me?"

’Ah, so that was it.’

Rayen realized why Iris seemed uneasy. She might have also seen Xu Jiji trading with Mr. Big News and knew he had an extra sheet. Yet, she didn’t immediately go to him since the kid was refusing the other participants when they requested for it.

However, she was pressed for time. And given their close relationship to each other, she thought Xu Jiji wouldn’t just refuse her, but she probably thought that using it as leverage was taking advantage of Xu Jiji.

’What a kind woman. It must be why Jiji is so fond of her.’

"No need. You can just have it," Xu Jiji said, clearly excited at the prospect of having Iris as his teammate.

Iris hurriedly refused Xu Jiji’s offer. "No."

Xu Jiji pouted again. "Why? You don’t want to be teammates with me too?"

"It’s not that," Iris explained. "I don’t have a music sheet to exchange with you, so I’ll just buy it. What do you want?"

"Nothing. You can just take it from me."

"No."

The two went back and forth. Xu Jiji insistently pushed the music sheet to her, while Iris pushed it back to him. Beside them, the group watched. They had been going at it for over five minutes now.

Sigh.

"Seriously, just take it. You have no time," Adrian said.

Confirming the same thing by peeking at the clock, Iris finally agreed. Left with no choice, she just accepted the music sheet.

"I’ll treat you later," she said.

Finally, the team was really complete. Exactly as the transfer of ownership concluded, Plotter’s voice also spoke through the speakers.

"My, my. Are you all done?" Without waiting for an answer, Plotter continued, "Then let’s proceed to the next floor!"

Rayen looked around the whole place. Those who haven’t been able to get ahold of even a single music sheet were fidgeting.

Plotter’s distorted voice once again said, his tone playful. "Those who couldn’t find a music sheet, you’re out of the game~"

At the same time, those participants all disappeared out of sight of everyone — no, it wasn’t them who disappeared — the place they were in just changed.

The familiar retro corridor with empty plant pots hanging on the wall registered in Rayen’s and the others’ vision. Without knowing it, they had been transferred to the second floor.

’What are we going to do here now?’

Plotter’s voice echoed from the speakers. "Welcome to the second floor!"

Large confetti suddenly exploded above the puzzled participants.

"Now, for the second floor challenge..." Plotter paused dramatically. "It’s a race to the practice room!"

The practice room... Everyone gazed at the farthest room from where they all stood. It seemed an easy challenge at first, but Rayen knew racing wasn’t all there was to it. Definitely, there must be something else more for the challenge of this floor.

And Rayen was right.

Plotter added, "You see the pots on your left side?"

Everyone gazed at the empty pots hanging on the wall.

"Every time you arrive in the pots’ points, you will have to take on a mini-challenge. Are you ready?"

They hadn’t even said anything yet when another boom sounded through the entire corridor, signaling the start of the race.

"Go!"
