Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂
Chapter 56. (2/2)
Xu Jia knew the two might not know each other, so she stepped forward and introduced them
The game officially began while they were chatting.
The golden characters continued, “The first round of the game—erase the blackboard, all players. Two players on each team use the blackboard eraser to defend, and three players use chalk to attack.”
“When a player writes a number with chalk if it is not erased within three seconds, the player with that number will be eliminated. (For example, Xu Jia wrote ‘No. 6’, and the blackboard eraser did not have time to erase the number within three seconds, then No. 6 will be eliminated in this round.)”
“The game is a best-of-three game and the team that wins two games first wins. Please place your bets first and discuss the time for five minutes.”
The words just appeared, and the hourglass began to count down.
The negotiation time was limited, and Xu Jia took the lead in expressing her opinion: “I think we can place a heavy bet in this round of the game. Because in terms of force, we are absolutely superior.”
“The system says to use the blackboard eraser for defense and the chalk for attack, but there will definitely be physical collisions. Just treat it as a group fight.”
“Qi Yuan has been practicing martial arts since childhood and can hold two people. The girls in the team have also practiced specifically and will not be a drag.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Yuan nodded and responded, “It’s no problem to hold two people. Leave it to me with confidence.”
Le Lin had a different opinion: “I’m afraid I will be a drag. After all, I’m just a weak intellectual.”
Xu Jia was not worried. She casually pointed out, “There must be someone on the other side who will hold back; you may not lose against them.”
After a pause, she seriously said, “If it doesn’t work, you can go deal with the girl on the white team.”
Le Lin, “…”
Although he knew the arrangement was reasonable, he felt slightly uncomfortable when he heard it.
Xiao Yin’s eyes flashed unexpectedly, and she said slowly, “I am also against placing a heavy bet.”
“Why?” Xu Jia wondered.
“I’m afraid of being dragged into the ditch.” Xiao Yin said bluntly, “I don’t expect the big guys to lead the way, and the others can win comfortably. I hope the black team won’t lose so much that they can’t turn over.”
Placing a heavy bet can win quickly and lose quickly, which is particularly exciting. If a spy is messing up, the black team will be finished. Therefore, Xiao Yin insisted on not listening to Xu Jia’s opinion.
Xu Jia felt a little helpless. She was obviously a good person and sincerely built up the black team. Unfortunately, no one appreciated it and guarded against her like a thief.
Xiao Yin pretended to be democratic, “This is a team game. If there is any controversy, everyone can vote. I think placing a heavy bet is not good. Please raise your hand if you agree with my point of view.”
Three hands were raised: Le Lin, Xiao Yin, and Xiao Yang. The three exchanged glances and established a united front.
Xu Jia laughed angrily. She wished she was a spy so that everyone would no longer be teammates and she could screw them to death.
Qi Yuan sighed in his heart, saying she was worthy of being his girlfriend, and when she was excluded, she was just like him.
“How about 4-3-3?” Qi Yuan suggested, “If you are worried about someone playing tricks, then split the points in each game equally. The rules of the first round of the game are already known, and there is a greater chance of winning, so add 10 points. Is it okay?”
Xiao Yin thought about it and agreed, “Okay.”
Before the hourglass ended, the five people agreed on the betting points.
Xu Jia was very curious, “If you suspect I am a spy, are you not going to let me play?”
“Why?” Xiao Yin smiled hypocritically, “You go to attack.”
The implication is that you are unnecessary for important work such as defense.
Good citizen Le Lin reported, “This guy named Qi Yuan and Xu Jia are lovers.”
“Well… then…”
Just as Xiao Yin was about to assign a task, Xu Jia sneered and interrupted, “If there is really a spy, it could be you or anyone in the team. You have a good relationship with Xiao Yang, and I am worried about you guarding the base camp together. Who knows if you will let them go together?”
“Then Xiao Yang and I will guard the blackboard, and the other three will attack. How about that?” Qi Yuan suggested.
The personnel arrangement fully demonstrated the team spirit of “doubting everything and supervising each other.”
Le Lin agreed, “I think it’s okay.”
The first round begins.
Xiao Yang holds the blackboard eraser in both hands, waiting solemnly.
Qi Yuan rolls up his sleeves, ready to use force to hold the enemy hostage at any time.
The other three carefully avoid the enemy and rush to the blackboard.
At the same time, Lin Dongyang, Zhou Yue, and the girl with glasses from the white team attack while Guo Dong (No. 6) and Lin Xi (No. 8) stand in front of the blackboard.
The first to attack are, of course, the defenders.
Xiao Yin runs to the left corner and writes “No. 6,” but Guo Dong erases it. She is not discouraged and jumps high to write in the upper left corner, but Guo Dong stretches out his hand and erases it again.
Xu Jia just met Lin Xi and tripped him to knock him down, and then he and Le Lin wrote frantically on the blackboard.
The two clearly divide labor: Xu Jia writes “No. 8,” and Le Lin writes “No. 6.”
Guo Dong finds something wrong and quickly uses the blackboard eraser to wipe it. But as soon as he wipes off the word “No. 6,” Le Lin hugs him without saying a word and stops him from getting closer. Although Guo Dong is very strong and can drag Le Lin to walk, unfortunately, the three seconds of entanglement are up, and Xu Jia successfully eliminates No. 8 (Lin Xi).
After being eliminated from the game, players cannot continue participating in defense and attack and can only squat aside. Lin Xi stood up and walked slowly to the side, his face full of helplessness—no matter how high his IQ is, he can’t beat them because of his insufficient strength. There is nothing he can do about it, and he is also desperate.
