Chapter 566: Chapter 566: New Game Begins!

"How is that possible?" Luo Xuan frowned, "What’s the rush? Listen to me first." ƒrēewebnovel.com

"Although they are the lowest-ranking team, you’ve seen their strength when they first arrived—it’s not to be underestimated. Besides, with their numbers, we might not be able to take them all down in one fell swoop. But look at them now, chopping trees so hard in the woods. They’ll surely expend a lot of energy. Once they’re all worn out, we’ll strike. Wouldn’t that yield twice the results with half the effort?"

"Right." Guo Xing clapped his hands, "Xuan, this suggestion is brilliant."

Chen Manman also thought it made sense and nodded, "Then we’ll wait some more. There’s no rush; they won’t leave here anytime soon anyway."

So, Team J just waited and waited, until around one or two o’clock, when the people opposite gradually stopped their lumbering.

But by this time, their own energy was almost drained. They had not eaten well in the morning, and now after whiling away so much time, Chen Manman had no choice but to satisfy Guo Xing’s pleas by grilling two more fish and making fish soup from another one.

Gradually, a fire was lit on the other side, too.

What shocked the four of them was that Team Q had made fried sauce noodles for lunch!

The aroma was tantalizing, and just the smell of it made their mouths water; the fish in their mouths didn’t taste as good anymore.

"Damn, were these people trained as chefs? How do they know how to make everything? I really want to go over there and snag a bite, but with the way things are between us, it wouldn’t be appropriate now."

Ai Xiaochun gave Guo Xing a sidelong glance, "Spineless fellow, all you think about is food. When you’ve got the five hundred million in hand, won’t you be able to eat whatever you want? Who cares about their fried sauce noodles?"

[This girl’s got her head in the clouds again.]

[I’ve come to realize that this team is full of slackers—they talk big but do little and still fancy their chances of winning in the end. Hilarious, isn’t it?]

[They even plan to go after Jiang Li. Our Sister Li could take on four at once!]

[These people are so short-sighted. If it were me, I wouldn’t care about rankings. Wouldn’t it be better to just cling to the Jordans across the way?]

After having lunch, they all felt drowsy. By then, Chen Manman thought of attacking, but Ai Xiaochun hardly had any strength left in her body.

So, after discussing briefly, they decided to rest for a while—the people from Team Q were napping, too.

Before they could get a good rest, the sound of ding-ding-dang-dang came from the woods again.

"No way, they’re chopping trees again?"

Even Luo Xuan was a bit puzzled now, "Yeah, what do they need so much wood for?"

In less than a day, there was already a small mountain of wooden stakes piled up by the lake. If they were just for cooking, they wouldn’t need nearly that much wood.

"Who cares what they’re using it for, let’s just hurry and eliminate them, and all this stuff will be ours." Ai Xiaochun was eager, busily picking out a few handy items from their supplies.

However, before she could charge over, the watch on her wrist suddenly rang with a sharp alert tone.

"Good afternoon, everyone. How was your rest today?"

It was He Pingzhang’s voice.

[Ahhh, Director He’s voice is so nice to listen to.]

[Why start audio now? Does the production team have something up their sleeve? I have a bad feeling about this.]

[Wake up, when King Zheng speaks, that’s when there’s really no good news. Director He always brings pleasant surprises.]

[Still, no word on King Zheng’s situation to date.]

[Of course, it’s been suppressed. Didn’t they say he’s got someone backing him?]

Unable to do anything about it, with He Pingzhang’s voice out there, their actions had to be halted.

"The game yesterday got a great response, and today our production team has arranged a fun game segment for you all."

"Like before, once you enter the game segment, you can pause whatever you’re doing. During this period, any attacks will be considered invalid. We hope everyone can immerse themselves in the game and enjoy themselves."

Team J was dumbstruck.

A game segment? Attacks are invalid?

Then what was the point of their attack?!

"Is the production team doing this on purpose?" Ai Xiaochun, frustrated, waved the stick in her hand, "No, we need to make a quick decision and eliminate them!"

"No, we can’t." Luo Xuan quickly stopped her, "Didn’t you hear what the director said? All attacks are invalid now. If you press on, the production team will consider it grounds for elimination."

"What do we do now?"

"Let’s just play the game. Didn’t we get by yesterday doing the same?"

Yesterday, when the production team announced this segment on short notice, they were almost as frantic as ants on a hot pan.

This place was remote with few people coming by, and eventually, after they had wandered for a while, they came across two isolated players and played Truth or Dare.

Those two had low points to begin with and were eliminated after only a few rounds. Only then were they saved.

They hadn’t expected another game segment today.

Isn’t it perfect now that Team Q’s members have arrived? Play the game and then eliminate them—wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds?

After thinking it over for a while, Ai Xiaochun put down the items in her hands.

"Alright, this is the only way for now."

The four of them walked over to Team Q’s base, interrupting their tree-chopping.

Chen Manman took the initiative to speak, "Jiang Li, you must have also heard what the director just said, right? Today’s game also requires cooperation between two teams. How about we form a team together?"

"That’s fine."

Jiang Li dropped her axe, took off her gloves, and stepped out from the shadows.

Perhaps because of the long hours of labor, her fair face was now flushed, and a thin layer of sweat had formed on her forehead.

But she was nowhere near disheveled; instead, the work had added a touch of liveliness to her, making her seem less untouchable.

The next second, she plucked the branch from her hair and let her black locks cascade down, and a fresh scent wafted towards them. Luo Xuan and Guo Xing were immediately spellbound.

How could anyone be this beautiful?

Ai Xiaochun noticed her boyfriend’s unusual behavior and elbowed Luo Xuan hard before giving Jiang Li a glare.

Such a vixen! With so many men in her own team, she still has to seduce a taken man!

Of course, Jiang Li noticed Ai Xiaochun’s expression, but she didn’t care about this petty woman. She turned around and called everyone out.

After a quick cleanup and some water, they sat down on the grassy lakeside.

Once the two teams were linked, the mechanical sound from the team captains’ watches was clear and just like yesterday’s.

[Congratulations to both teams on a successful binding. Today’s game mode is [Roulette], simply draw a random mini-game and complete it according to the rules.]
