Chapter 242: Round 28 Ends — Special Stream After Surviving Four Rounds
The following period of time might have been unexpected for everyone in the live stream room.
Days 6 and 7 of Round 28 were exceptionally calm.
The situation that many in the live stream room had anticipated, where Old Dog would seek revenge during these last two days, also did not occur.
The lab rats living here passed the time as leisurely as if they were in their own homes.
This resulted in this round ending in an especially bizarre manner.
Round 28, Day 7.
The current time is 23:55.
Only the final five minutes remain before Round 28 concludes.
Many people in the Neighbors Over Distant Relatives live stream room are eagerly awaiting the end.
Why? Because an unusually high number of lab rats survived this Round 28.
Several of them, in fact!
This was something no one had anticipated.
And with more surviving lab rats, there are more beneficiaries.
Hence, the anticipation.
Time passed.
The final five minutes also elapsed.
The Long-haired beautiful host once again appeared on the live stream screen.
She looked exceptionally beautiful and captivating tonight.
Facing the live stream camera, she revealed her consistently bright and sweet smile:
"Welcome, everyone, gathering at the very end of Round 28, tuning in on time for the broadcast."
"The time has come, representing the conclusion."
"Therefore, I declare that the Round 28 game ends here."
"Next, we will announce the results."
"The results are as follows."
"This round's lab rat casualty list: Ou Yingying and Little Zhao, as well as Zhao Jie."
"This round's surviving lab rat list: Jiang Ran, Lin Feng and Wang Ziyi, Fang Xiao, Wang Jian, Liu Xiaoyu."
"Users who placed bets on the above surviving lab rats will divide the total prize pool of 584.9 million according to their respective betting proportions."
The Long-haired beautiful host announced the final results.
Upon learning the results, the live stream room was filled with a rather cheerful atmosphere.
This was because there were a total of 7 lab rats this round.
Apart from Lab Rat No. 3 Ou Yingying and Little Zhao, and Lab Rat No. 5 Zhao Jie dying, the remaining 5 lab rats all survived perfectly well.
Meaning, in this round, even if you didn't use your brain and bet randomly, you still had an extremely high win rate of five-sevenths.
It could be said that Round 28 of the Hua Country's Alice Apartment Neighbors Over Distant Relatives game had the absolute highest win rate since its broadcast began.
Of course, in a round with such a high win rate, if there were still users who failed their bets, it could only mean your luck was truly abysmal.
Just like the person below.
Child of Fate: "Damn it! 28 rounds! A full 28 rounds! I've placed a bet every single time, and I haven't won even once!!!"
Middle-aged Uncle @ Child of Fate: "Brother, you seem unfamiliar..."
Child of Fate: "I'm not a chatterbox like you all, of course I'm unfamiliar."
Fairy Sister @ Child of Fate: "You really haven't won a single round?"
Child of Fate: "What do you think? Is there any need for me to lie to you?"
Child of Fate sent a screenshot, which was indeed a screenshot of his betting win rate.
I'm Actually a Girl: "Oh my heavens! I can hardly believe it, I almost suspect you photoshopped it!"
Middle-aged Uncle: "Yeah, wanting to not win a single round out of these 28 must be quite difficult, right? And during those consecutive winning rounds of Fang Xiao and Jiang Ran, just betting randomly once wouldn't have led to this! So, Child of Fate, are you intentionally maintaining a 0% win rate?"
Child of Fate typed angrily: "No!"
Middle-aged Uncle: "Then next round, bet on Jiang Ran, and you'll probably win a round!"
Child of Fate: "No! I need to place my bets according to my Celestial Star Big Dipper method!"
Middle-aged Uncle: "Celestial Star Big Dipper? What nonsense is that?"
Child of Fate: "It's a fortune-telling technique I've studied for a long time. Every round, I perform a divination to determine the target of my bet!"
Middle-aged Uncle: ......
Domineering Female CEO: ......
Little Aunt: "Not succeeding once in 28 rounds... honestly, with your level, you should stop learning. I've heard that in metaphysical matters, it also depends on talent and opportunity. You clearly have neither!"
Perhaps feeling provoked, the Child of Fate stopped replying after that.
I'm Actually a Girl: "It's all your fault, you made him so angry he won't talk! But he really is... no, I can't hold back my laughter..."
Middle-aged Uncle: "Alright, alright, let's not talk about him. Let's discuss this round instead! The first 5 days were very exciting! There was something entertaining to watch every day! But the last 2 days were so quiet! I was so bored during the last 2 days that I barely watched the stream!"
"However, the quietness is good too, at least my Ultimate Rich Kid brother survived!"
Domineering Female CEO: "What actually surprised me this round were the two anomalies, Wang Jian and Liu Xiaoyu. I wonder if these two anomalies will participate next round?"
"If they do participate, next round will definitely be even more exciting."
"Especially since Old Dog never took retaliatory action against Fang Xiao. I don't know what he's planning?"
"Also, Kim Yoon-ah still hasn't made a move against Jiang Ran."
Little Dragon Girl: "Yes, the next round will definitely be more exciting!"
Just as these people were discussing how the next round would be more exciting, the Long-haired beautiful host, who had never left the live stream screen, suddenly smiled and said:
"Everyone, I apologize for interrupting your enjoyable conversation, but I must tell you some rather bad news."
People in the live stream room typed: "What news?"
Long-haired beautiful host: "Round 29 will be postponed."
As soon as these words were spoken, the live stream room was in an uproar.
Middle-aged Uncle: "Postponed? What does that mean? Could it be that you're planning to run away? Or is the Neighbors Over Distant Relatives live stream room going on hiatus?"
Domineering Female CEO: "Although I usually habitually contradict you, Middle-aged Uncle, now I must strongly support you! After all, there were rounds in the past separated by several months, and they never specifically mentioned being 'postponed'. This time, it's specifically stated. I feel like they are planning to run away."
I'm Actually a Girl: "No! I've only watched a few rounds! How can you be going out of business already?!"
Fairy Sister: "Going out of business? That shouldn't be the case! This is the number one hottest live stream room on the Black Software!"
Little Dragon Girl: "Although it's number one, this live stream room's money-making ability and its expenditures are actually disproportionate."
"Look at other live stream rooms, many are like ordinary external live streams, with tipping functions. But does this one have that? Never."
"Furthermore, the Neighbors Over Distant Relatives game absolutely consumes enormous human, material, and financial resources."
"As said before, the input and output are disproportionate."
"So it wouldn't be strange if it went bankrupt."
I am the Hero: "If it really closes, then my Ultimate Rich Kid brother will be free!!!"
Just as many people in the live stream room were discussing endlessly, the Long-haired beautiful host spoke again: "Everyone, no need to overthink it. Unless the Black Software disappears, the Neighbors Over Distant Relatives game live stream room will absolutely never close."
"What I meant by Round 29 being delayed is because there will be a special live stream next."
The Long-haired beautiful host looked at the large number of people asking in the black tablet in her hand, "What special live stream?"
The Long-haired beautiful host didn't beat around the bush and said directly:
"It's like this."
"For the Neighbors Over Distant Relatives game."
"In the Alice Apartments of each country, whenever a lab rat survives 4 rounds, they will subsequently enter a special live stream."
"It is also because, this time, Jiang Ran and Fang Xiao have reached 4 rounds of survival that the special live stream has been triggered."
"You must be asking, what is the special live stream?"
"Taking our Hua Country as an example."
"They will go to a certain place together with lab rats from other Asian countries who have also reached 4 rounds of survival."
"They will survive there for 7 days, which is equivalent to one round's time."
"During those 7 days, they will still receive 10,000 yuan income per day, but the difference is, after successfully passing this special live stream round and returning to their respective Alice Apartments, surviving 1 day will change from earning 10,000 per day to 20,000 per day."
