Chapter 139 : Chapter 139
Chapter 139
The manga showed a panel of Gong Ting's panicked and terrified expression.
The next panel was a low-angle shot centered on Gong Ting. He was being held by Zhou Chenhao by the back of his pants, and the two of them were swinging in the air together.
Gong Ting wanted to reach out and grab his own swing rope, but Zhou Chenhao moved his hand, and he couldn't reach it.
【What the heck, he didn't even pull Gong Ting off. (Disappointed)】
【But watching Brother Hao tease Gong Ting like this is quite interesting. (Obedient)】
【Brother Haozi's arm strength is amazing (.)】
【In comparison, Gong Ting looks like a little chick (just kidding)】
Following that was a panel from Zhou Chenhao's perspective. Because he was hanging upside down, everything except his own hand was inverted. His hand was holding Gong Ting's waistband, and Gong Ting had his back to him, trying to turn his neck to look back at him.
The next panel was from Gong Ting's perspective. Zhou Chenhao's handsome face was upside down, his smile bright and brilliant: “I'm going to let go now——”
Gong Ting reached his hand back to grab him, still saying not to let go.
But in the next wide-shot panel, Zhou Chenhao threw him up. Gong Ting flew diagonally upwards, his expression terrified, his hands flailing wildly.
Then it was Gong Ting's perspective again. In his field of vision were the long, dense, and extremely terrifying spikes below.
Another wide shot, this time Zhou Chenhao had caught Gong Ting, grabbing the side of his waistband.
【Brother Hao's heart is really too black. (Laughing and crying)】
【Seeing Gong Ting being thrown up with a terrified face: Pfft, what's there to be afraid of. Seeing Gong Ting's perspective: Ahhh!】
【Brother Hao even gave a warning before throwing him. What a good kid. (Talking nonsense)】
【Wuwu, so handsome. I feel like I can do it again, hubby!!】
【I really want to see Axue's reaction. Is he watching the show with a smile?】
As if it knew what the readers wanted to see, the manga gave a close-up of Bai Xuechao's expression.
The white-haired boy sat securely on the swing, a slight curve to his lips, watching them with a look of great interest.
Next was a shot of Ling Feng, who said: “Stop playing around.”
Zhou Chenhao retorted with some grievance that he wasn't playing, then smiled and reassured Gong Ting that he would definitely find a good spot for him before letting go, and that he wouldn't die if he didn't flail around.
Gong Ting looked devastated: “Is this a matter of life and death?”
【Hahaha, it would have been better not to say anything! After hearing that, Jade Liquor looked like the sky was falling. I'm really going to die laughing!】
【I knew Xuexue must be watching the show with great interest! (Proudly puffing out chest)】
【Hehe, Brother Hao is a wifey slave (ni). As soon as the little cat said to stop playing, Brother Hao immediately started getting down to business. Chenfeng is really celebrating the New Year today. (Doge emoji, hehehe)】
【Is no one going to speak up for Jade Liquor? He looks like he's about to break, haha!】
The manga here was still from Zhou Chenhao's perspective, with his inner monologue as narration. It stated that he was going to find a position for Gong Ting where he could get stuck in the crevices.
The manga even thoughtfully drew a dotted-line human-shaped diagram among the long spikes in his field of vision. In theory, it was possible.
However, the inner monologue in the next panel added that a little injury was within the normal margin of error.
The manga switched the camera back to Gong Ting. He shouted in fear, “Don't throw me.”
Then, in the next panel, Zhou Chenhao let go of his hand, and he began to fall.
【So this is the kind of Brother Hao you are! (Maomao shocked)】
【In the previous chapters, Brother Hao had fewer psychological activities. Although it was officially certified that he was naturally black-bellied, I still thought he was more like a silly, sweet, white character. Now I realize I was wrong, ridiculously wrong.】
【‘A little injury,’ ‘normal margin of error,’ ‘ne’ are so classic.】
【What a handsome, black-hearted big doggy. (Clutching heart)】
Next was a large wide shot. In the center of the frame was the falling Gong Ting, and below him were rows of sharp, long spikes. He had completely lost control of his expression, his hands and feet flailing wildly. Next to him was written “struggling,” and above his head was a long, irregularly shaped bubble with “Ahhhhh——!” written inside.
The frame then turned to Zhou Chenhao's waist and abdomen, with “exerting force” written next to it. In the next panel, Zhou Chenhao had already sat up, holding onto the rope.
Next, he raised one foot and stepped on the edge of the swing, but next to him were two bubbles with “puchi” and “ah!” written on them respectively. It seemed to be the sound coming from Gong Ting's side, making one curious about what had happened there.
The next panel showed him standing up completely, looking down innocently and saying: “I told you not to flail around.”
The camera finally returned to Gong Ting.
This was a very impactful wide shot. Although Gong Ting's head and body were indeed stuck in the crevices of the long spikes as Zhou Chenhao had previously thought, one of his legs and both of his wrists and arms had been pierced by the long spikes. Fresh blood oozed from the pierced areas, flowing down the spikes to the ground.
And Gong Ting's expression was even more terrifying. His wide-open eyes were full of resentment, and next to his mouth was a dialogue bubble: “Ah…” Next to it were the two words “hoarse.”
【The male lead looks innocent and says Gong Ting was flailing around, while Gong Ting is so resentful he looks like he's going to die with a grievance. This strong contrast on both sides is shocking…】
【Brother Hao, you are my only brother! I admit that I spoke a little too loudly to you before! (Wiping sweat)】
【This brother is too scary. A naturally black-bellied character is terrifying!】
【Am I the only one whose focus is on his waist strength seeming to be very good? (Cupping face) (Little face all yellow)】
【No, sister, you… you're even driving on this broken road?】
The system began to settle the accounts. Gong Ting's remaining ropes were exchanged back for game coins, and along with his existing game coins, they all went into the prize pool. The system then recounted the players' game coins.
The game continued, and the 12th question was a bit difficult.
The manga first showed a close-up of Bai Xuechao. He was leaning his head on the hemp rope to his left, looking bored. Next to him was a countdown: 7 seconds.
Below this were two close-up shots. The one on the left was Ling Feng, his brows slightly furrowed as if he was carefully thinking about something. The countdown next to him was 6 seconds. The one on the right was Zhou Chenhao, his eyes staring straight ahead. Bai Guzi had even added a special effect of a chaotic black line above his head. The countdown next to him was 5 seconds.
It wasn't until the countdown reached 3 seconds that Ling Feng answered, and he was correct.
But he was not happy. His inner monologue indicated that he felt Bai Xuechao had deliberately not answered the question.
【When I saw the previous part, I was thinking, did Xuexue deliberately not answer the question? After seeing the back, I found out that Ling Feng also had this feeling!】
【Ling Feng also just felt it. A feeling is not the truth, maybe he was just overthinking it.】
【But my wifey's expression looks bored, not like he doesn't know the answer.】
In the manga, both Bai Xuechao and Zhou Chenhao pulled their ropes, and the 13th question began.
Bai Xuechao was the first to answer, and he was correct.
Zhou Chenhao pulled off a rope. Ling Feng only had two system ropes left. After preparing himself, he pulled off one, stepping on the swing board like Zhou Chenhao had done.
【Ling Feng the little cat's nonchalant manner is so handsome 2333.】
【I feel like my wifey is starting to exert his strength. I guess the next question will also be answered by my wifey.】
This reader was not wrong. Bai Xuechao answered the 14th question correctly again.
The manga first gave the camera to Ling Feng, who only had one system rope left. The manga used a series of consecutive panels to show him neatly pulling off the rope, then grabbing the hemp rope with his right hand as the swing board fell, and wrapping the hemp rope around his right hand twice with his left hand. In the end, he was hanging in the air by his right hand, without falling.
Next was another panel of the falling swing board, and the next panel was a picture of Zhou Chenhao hanging in mid-air, holding onto the hemp rope with his right hand.
The manga gave a wide shot here.
The perspective was from Gong Ting's position. In the center of the frame was Bai Xuechao sitting leisurely on the swing. On his left was Ling Feng hanging in mid-air with the rope wrapped around his right hand, and on his right was Zhou Chenhao hanging in mid-air in the same way. The two of them were looking at each other from afar, each with a dialogue bubble above their head, with “……” written inside.
【Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. The two of them are speechless as they look at each other.】
【Brothers in misfortune】
【Brother Hao had 1 system rope and 1 safety rope, and he got the jackpot with a 2-in-1 chance. This must be a curse from Jade Liquor!】
【Jade Liquor's curse: The person who made me fall must also fall!】
【No, isn't this composition a bit too much? Xuexue is sitting in the middle, with his left and right guardians hanging on either side?】
【Help me, hahahaha, I'd like to call this Bai Xuechao and his two useless men.】
【Sister in front, you made me laugh so hard I almost had a hemorrhage!!】
【Actually, they're still a bit useful. Look, these two guys have amazing arm strength. You can tell they're strong and can work. (Obedient)】
【This ‘can work,’ is it a proper one? (Little face all yellow)】
In the manga, Bai Xuechao suddenly called out to the system, saying he wanted to ask a question.
The system told him to ask.
Bai Xuechao asked several questions in a row, including the order of exchanging rewards in the system's prize pool after the game ended, what would happen if he chose to quit the game, and whether game coins could be transferred. The system answered all of them seriously.
In the next panel, Bai Xuechao said “oh,” but a bubble suddenly interjected from the side: “I want to say——”
In the next panel, it was a close-up of Zhou Chenhao's brilliant smile: “Are you trying to stall for time?”
【Ahhh, Brother Hao's intuition is so accurate! Bai Xuechao must be deliberately asking questions at this time!】
【My wifey is very bad, it's really possible, hahaha.】
【Shouldn't he let them hang for a while longer to train their arm strength? (Doge emoji)】
【Hey, I think Little Xue means to let them hang for a while, but does he also mean to give them a hint? The questions he asked are all quite useful. (Touching chin and pondering)】
【The priority of exchanging rewards is very important. If they can't redeem their things, they can't save Xiao Xi.】
【Quitting the game is hinting to them that if anyone can't hold on, they can choose to quit the game and keep the game coins they have already obtained.】
【The same goes for transferring. If it can be transferred after the game ends, then it's enough for Ling Feng the little cat to stay and answer the questions!】
【Wow, looking at it this way, my wifey is too kind. This is giving them a clear path!】
【Kind is not necessary… (Wiping sweat)】
Bai Xuechao did not answer directly, but told them that they could quit the game, and that he would not go easy on them anymore.
Both Ling Feng and Zhou Chenhao said that they did not need him to go easy on them.
Zhou Chenhao also said that it was definitely not a problem for him to hang here.
【Brother Hao, listen to what you're saying! You have no ambition! (Grabbing collar)】
【Ling Feng's expression looks like he wants to scold him, hahaha.】
【Did no one realize? My wifey said he wouldn't go easy on them anymore, doesn't that mean he was going easy on them before! Then the little cat's feeling was right!】
【Oh, damn, I just realized it. That's right, but why did Axue go easy on them?】
Next, Bai Xuechao indeed did not go easy on them, answering six questions correctly in a row.
It wasn't until the 21st question that Ling Feng managed to get one and answer it correctly.
The manga gave a wide shot. Bai Xuechao was still sitting leisurely on the swing, and the two people hanging on his left and right looked at each other.
Below were two close-ups of Zhou Chenhao and Ling Feng's expressions. Their faces were equally solemn. Needless to say, they realized how difficult Bai Xuechao was to deal with.
These two panels also had text: What to do!
【Who would have thought? The boss of Dream Game City is not the City Lord, but Axue. (Facepalm)】
【Answering 6 questions in a row really shocked me. Two of them were super difficult! My knowledge chip is the most advanced, and it took me a long time to react to those two questions because they were too obscure.】
【This shows that Xuexue's knowledge base is very broad!】
【My wifey is so handsome, wuwu, a paradise for those who admire the strong.】
The big screen displayed the 22nd question, but a bubble appeared next to it: “A!” The bubble was also marked with: instant.
The next panel showed Zhou Chenhao with his mouth open, obviously he was the one who answered.
The system indicated that the answer was wrong. Since Zhou Chenhao had no more ropes to pull, the system displayed a wavy line, as if it was thinking.
Below were two panels joined together, which were close-ups of Bai Xuechao and Ling Feng. They both had an expression of having thought of something. Below these two panels was a panel of pure text, which seemed to be what they had thought of: As long as you answer the moment the question appears, faster than Bai Xuechao, you have a chance to guess correctly and get game coins!
The next panel was a close-up of Zhou Chenhao's pleased and proud smile. A low laugh was written next to him, and he said: “The system didn't lie. You can win by luck even without using your brain.”
【Ahhh, the tables have turned! Brother Hao is so handsome! (Excited)】
【As expected of you, kid! Why didn't I think of this method! Don't be too handsome! (Biting handkerchief)!】
【Hiss, so next is a competition of who has the faster reaction speed?】
【Just by reaction speed, the male lead might not win, right? Bai Xuechao's level is higher than theirs, and he has been enhanced more times, so his reaction speed might be faster.】
【But Brother Hao has an official setting. His body is greatly enhanced when he levels up. It's really not certain who will win. (Pondering)】
