Chapter 138 : Chapter 138
Chapter 138
Eighth question, Ling Feng answered correctly.
As the system counted the current number of ropes for the players, the manga gave Ling Feng a shot of him thinking.
Ling Feng's inner monologue indicated that he had to admit Bai Xuechao's proposal was somewhat reasonable. They were indeed too slow; after eight questions, none of the four had been eliminated.
【Hahahaha, Ling Feng: I take back what I said before.】
【Ling Feng the little cat even agrees with Axue's proposal!】
【Ahhh, the person who said my wifey was selfish, come out! He wasn't just thinking about his own enjoyment! (Sobbing) (Punching) He clearly discovered that the rules were imperfect!】
【Ahem, well, I feel like he did have the intention to perfect the rules and speed up the process, but he also wanted to increase the excitement.】
【Wow, Xuexue has the most ropes now!】
The quick-response mode was activated.
The ninth question was answered by Zhou Chenhao, who excitedly explained the number of episodes in Journey to the West.
The system prompted the other players to pull off their ropes. When the camera returned to Zhou Chenhao, he had already put away his smile, looking nervously at Ling Feng opposite him.
Everyone except Zhou Chenhao pulled off a rope, and the system counted the number of game coins and ropes.
【One second, Brother Haozi was talking nonstop about Journey to the West, and the next second he saw the system prompt that Ling Feng also had to pull a rope and his expression changed in an instant. He kept looking at Ling Feng nervously. They're so shippable! (Fainting with a red heart)】
【Sister in front, you won't lose out by investing in Chenfeng! This isn't Dream Game City, it's Dream Candy City! Chenfeng's candy is too delicious!】
【I'm a cold machine, I only care about my dear Axue =w=】
【In a corner no one cares about, Little Xue's game coins have surpassed 1.1 billion.】
【Hiss, this man is too terrifying, I can't see how the male lead can win…】
The tenth question was answered correctly by Gong Ting, and the others pulled their ropes.
The manga gave a panel of Gong Ting's expression here. His green eyes were full of malice, like a cold and sinister poisonous snake.
He said to Zhou Chenhao: “Shouldn't you be going down too?”
The next panel, the hemp rope that had been pulled off had not yet completely fallen. The panel after that was Bai Xuechao's calm face. It turned out that he was the one who pulled this hemp rope.
【Down my ass, I think you should be the one to go down!!】
【Ahhh, I'm so nervous! The space given to pulling the rope this time has obviously increased, I feel like something is going to happen!】
【No matter if it's Brother Hao or the little cat who falls, I'll be sad, okay?】
The manga here was a panoramic shot. Gong Ting had his back to the camera, and you could clearly see Zhou Chenhao and Ling Feng, each holding the end of a hemp rope, looking at each other.
Below this, two pictures of ropes that had been pulled down but had not yet fallen were joined together, indicating that they were pulled down at the same time.
Next was a panel where the big screen had turned red, indicating that one of them had pulled the system's rope.
At this point, this page had come to an end. The remaining pictures were two close-up shots, one of the composed Bai Xuechao and the other of Gong Ting with wide-open, excited eyes.
The identity of the person was not revealed, which whetted the appetites of the readers in the high-dimensional world, making them both curious and worried, and they sent bullet comments on this page.
【(Waving fist) Ahhh, this paneling is amazing, but how can you drag it out so long (no offense), hurry up and let us see who it is!】
【When they were looking at each other from afar, I was cheering and shipping them, but then the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Now I don't even dare to look back and see who it is.】
【I don't dare to turn the page either. Are there any sisters who have finished reading who can come back and tell me? Did anyone fall?】
【Is it possible that both of them fell (.)】
【Grass (a type of plant), what kind of devil are you, sister in front?】
【I'm back from reading it, no one fell, you can relax and watch.】
Flipping to the next page, the hemp rope on Zhou Chenhao's left side had come loose, and his body had lost its balance. His face was faintly illuminated by the red light of the big screen below, and his eyes still held a hint of relief, as if he had thought for a second that he had luckily passed.
Next to it was a small close-up of Ling Feng's expression. He had widened his eyes and shouted: “Zhou Chenhao!”
Next were a few consecutive panels.
Zhou Chenhao reached out and grabbed the hanging swing board, pulling himself up by alternating his hands, and finally stood firm on the swing board with both feet.
Next to this series of panels were also inserted close-ups of the three people's expressions. Ling Feng was obviously relieved, Bai Xuechao raised his eyebrows as if he was quite interested in this, and Gong Ting was staring with wide eyes, looking a little angry and frustrated.
Gong Ting called the system, pointing at Zhou Chenhao and saying it was a violation.
【Ahhh, Brother Haozi is my superman! That series of movements was so cool, wuwu!】
【I can't imagine how the teacher who cosplays Brother Hao is going to recreate this scene, hahaha. They'll probably have to learn some acrobatics. (Doge emoji)】
【That killed me. The way Gong Ting pointed at Brother Hao and tattled to the system is just like the classmate in my class who always loves to tattle to the AI teacher.】
【This episode's Chenfeng is so shippable! I've been taking crazy screenshots of the way Ling Feng the little cat lost his composure and shouted for Brother Hao! (Contentedly)】
【It's always been Bai Xuechao's highlight moments before, but this time it's finally the male lead's turn to shine!】
In the manga, the big screen received Gong Ting's complaint and displayed that a vote would be initiated. The three people other than Zhou Chenhao had the right to vote.
The system asked: Is pulling the swing with one's own strength allowed?
Gong Ting immediately voted against it, and Ling Feng followed closely with a vote in favor. The two people's panels were placed side by side in an irregular, opposing manner.
Below that was a solo close-up of Bai Xuechao. His expression was unreadable, and the way he slightly tilted his head even made him look a bit nonchalant, which made it even harder to guess his thoughts. In the bottom left corner of this panel was a small close-up of his eyes. The blood-red pupils had moved to the left, indicating that he was looking to his right side—at Ling Feng.
At the very bottom of this page was a close-up of Ling Feng's eyes. The azure pupils were as beautiful as the deep sea, and the small text next to them said “pleading.”
On both sides of his eyes were Ling Feng's inner monologues. The left side stated that he didn't dare to bet on Bai Xuechao's friendliness, and the right side wrote that if Zhou Chenhao fell, he would try to end the game as quickly as possible.
【Help, why is this episode so exciting, I'm getting nervous again!】
【Every time before the results are announced, it gets stuck on a page. I'm really grateful. Old scoundrel Bai, confess, where did you go to study paneling!】
【I haven't turned the page yet, I think Xuexue might vote against it… (Lost in thought)】
【No, look at how interested he was in Brother Hao climbing the rope? swing? before. He should like this kind of method, so he'll vote in favor.】
【I think with my wifey's intelligence, he should have thought of this method long ago.】
【(Starry eyes) My little cat's eyes are so beautiful. Being looked at like that, he'll definitely soften up! Vote in favor!】
【That's right! These eyes are so pretty. If you're looked at like that and don't soften up, you're not a person from Xia Country! (Exaggerated)】
But as soon as the page was turned, Bai Xuechao was seen curling one corner of his lips into a slightly wicked smirk, as if he was about to say no.
In the next panel, Ling Feng's eyes widened slightly, looking a little panicked, and the small text next to him said “trying to stay calm.”
Bai Xuechao said: “I choose——”
Gong Ting urged him to choose not to allow it, but Zhou Chenhao said: “You can choose whatever you want.”
Ling Feng's gaze at Zhou Chenhao seemed to ask, “Are you trying to die?”
【My mom, my grandma, my—no, it's Brother Hao's brain that's turned into a jujube. At a time like this, you're not even trying to campaign for yourself! (Crying out like a dog)】
【Wifey's smirk is so handsome! But it feels like he's going to vote against it =A=】
【I'll make a shallow guess at my wifey's psychological activity: ‘Choose whatever I want?’ Then I'll let you fall and have some fun.】
【No, Axue has never caused any substantial harm to the male lead. He definitely doesn't want to hurt the male lead in his heart. This smirk is probably just a fun-loving person's mentality, to scare Ling Feng for fun. In reality, he'll vote in favor.】
【Ling Feng's gaze is so funny, he looks like he wishes he could sew my Brother Hao's mouth shut.】
【I feel like if the atmosphere wasn't so serious right now, Brother Hao could sing a line of ‘I'm Tarzan from next door, grabbing the vine of love~’】
【Hahaha, I'm really going to die laughing at you guys. Sister in front, that song you mentioned, I feel like it could actually be in Brother Hao's playlist!】
On the next page, Bai Xuechao also looked at Zhou Chenhao. The manga gave a panoramic view of Zhou Chenhao from his perspective. He was standing on the swing board, grinning at Bai Xuechao with a mouthful of white teeth.
Bai Xuechao finally said: “Allowed.”
Ling Feng let out a sigh of relief, his eyes looking in Bai Xuechao's direction, and the small text next to his head said “grateful.”
【I feel like I'm seeing Ling Feng the little cat's head displaying favorability +1+1+1+1+1…】
【+1 is a bit too little, it should be +10+10, right. (Pondering)】
【Sorry, I'm shipping Chenfeng again! It's too sweet! Brother Hao is fine, and the little cat is so grateful!】
【Why do I feel like Axue is taming a cat…】
【Taming a cat? What's that, elaborate.】
The system added a rule that you could hold onto the rope with your own strength.
This time, Gong Ting was not happy. He said to Bai Xuechao that if he had chosen not to allow it, the game would have ended immediately.
Bai Xuechao tilted his head, his snow-white hair falling slightly with his movement, and said: “I just love to see him hanging here, can't I?”
Zhou Chenhao gave a dry laugh and said thank you.
【I just love to see him hanging here~】
【I just love to see him hanging here~】
【I'm strangely shipping Bai Zhou, hahahaha, the psycho young master and his unlucky, cheerful brother.】
【Unlucky, cheerful brother, hahaha! I'm laughing so hard I'm spitting out milk!!】
【The psycho young master setting is very suitable for Axue!】
【My Xue's beauty is consistently online, his expression when he said that was so coquettish, I'm taking crazy screenshots, mwah!】
【That killed me, I feel like Jade Liquor's eyes are cursing very filthily.】
Continuing the game, the eleventh question asked which country A●ddin was from. Ling Feng was the first to answer, but unfortunately, Gong Ting was faster than him.
The manga gave a shot of Gong Ting here. He was thinking that he might be wrong. He didn't know the answer and just guessed randomly, and now he had figured out that what Ling Feng said was correct.
The next panel, the system displayed that the answer was wrong.
【？？？】
【Little friend, do you have a lot of question marks??】
【A●ddin is actually from Xia Country?】
【Strange knowledge has increased. (Maomao's cosmic sublimation)】
Gong Ting, according to the rules, pulled off a rope.
The next panel was still a close-up of his face. He looked down with disbelief in his eyes, his face illuminated by a red light. It was clear that he had pulled the system's rope, and the big screen had turned red.
The rope on Gong Ting's left side came loose. He started climbing up like Zhou Chenhao had done before, thinking to himself that it was a good thing that rule had been added.
【Gong Ting a minute ago: Choose not to allow it! A minute later, him: Good thing that rule was added. (Rolling eyes)】
【This cup of Jade Liquor must be from a non-European producer, it's too unlucky. He even got it with a one-in-seven chance.】
At this moment, the manga cut the camera to Zhou Chenhao.
Next was a series of consecutive panels, starting with Zhou Chenhao swinging the swing towards Gong Ting, to him hooking the swing board with the back of his knees, his body hanging upside down, swinging closer and closer to Gong Ting.
The manga used a full page here to give them close-ups of their expressions.
In the upper half, Gong Ting's green eyes were wide with a terrified expression, as if what was approaching him was some kind of flood or fierce beast.
In the lower half, because Zhou Chenhao was hanging upside down, his half-black, half-red hair had all fallen down, revealing his forehead. He looked at Gong Ting, a brilliant smile on his lips, as cheerful as ever, but it gave people a dangerous feeling.
Turning the page, Zhou Chenhao reached out and grabbed the back of Gong Ting's suit pants, pulling him off the swing.
【Holy shit, so cool! I'm cheering for Brother Haozi!】
【Having long arms and legs is so good. Another day of envying Brother Hao's height. (Doge emoji)】
【I told you this kid's heart is black! Look how happy he was when he pulled Gong Ting down!!】
【As expected of the naturally black-bellied male lead, he's still performing consistently today. (Drinking tea)】
