Chapter 105: Chapter 105: A Blind Cat Runs into a Dead Mouse
Shen Zhiyi felt that 008 was baiting her with false promises, but having entered this broken world, she couldn’t leave without completing the plot, so she patiently said, “Whatever, can you help me solve the trouble at hand? Open this door, I want to win.”
008 promptly replied, “No problem, Host, you go find a piece of metal and try it on the door lock.”
A piece of metal?
Shen Zhiyi, half-doubting, fished out her keys and walked over to Bai Tingyu, “Let me try.”
She slid the key in the door lock and, not knowing what she touched, the door ‘clicked’ open.
Surprise flashed in Shen Zhiyi’s eyes, “The door’s open, Teacher Dai Qin, Teacher Fu Wanxue, come over quickly, we can go to the castle across from here.”
Everyone was pleasantly surprised, and Fu Wanxue praised directly, “Zhizhi, you’re really smart, truly worthy of being a top student at Imperial City Academy. I was never as good as you when I studied.”
Shen Zhiyi smiled shyly with a touch of embarrassment, “Teacher Wanxue is much more impressive than me, this is nothing, it’s just blind luck.”
Fu Wanxue giggled, “Still so modest, you are truly capable and bright.”
[Ah ah ah, Zhiyi Zhiyi! So awesome, she actually thought of this method, it’s brilliant.]
[I’m crying, I so hope she wins, makes it to the very end. I wept when she was patiently teaching those kids. I come from the mountains, she might not know, but the short two lessons she taught today will become an unforgettable memory for those children.]
[The poor have their own struggles, she’s doing it all for her mother, I hope Ji Tian stops targeting her. To blame a girl for something like her brother liking Zhiyi, anyway, I find it quite disgusting.]
[How could someone who eliminated her own brother be a good person? It seems like there’s no such thing as family affection in wealthy families. I think the story of this haunted house suits her quite well, I hope she doesn’t end up like this female ghost (snicker)]
[The person above is overestimating her, she enjoys the material life of a wealthy family at most. After she grows up and gets married, she’ll still have to live by looking at her rich husband’s face. There are too many complexities in a wealthy family. If she were a commoner like us, she wouldn’t even be talking about earning money, not starving on the streets would be good enough.]
Online, the support for Shen Zhiyi was overwhelming.
Her appearance on this program had already achieved its purpose.
Whatever the case, her fame was established, and she would only appear on the screen more frequently in the future.
Bai Tingyu smiled, “It’s still you who has the knack, solving this pressing crisis.” Then he turned to Gong Yu, “What do you say, Yu?”
Gong Yu glanced at the way they had come, smiling in response, “Hmm, it seems a bit like cheating.”
Bai Tingyu didn’t care much, “As long as it’s successful, the process actually doesn’t matter.”
Gong Yu passed it off with a laugh. Indeed, as long as the goal was achieved, who cared how dirty the means were.
Seeing they had all gone in, Bei Ning gritted her teeth and said, “Wait for me.”
After the door was opened, there was another staircase.
Bei Ning seemingly slipped, slamming right into Shen Zhiyi.
Shen Zhiyi didn’t stand firm and tumbled down the stairs, Bei Ning panicked and turned pale, “Ah!”
Fortunately, the staircase wasn’t long. Shen Zhiyi was dizzy and her knees were scraped. If it weren’t for protecting her head with her hands as she rolled down, she would have certainly been bleeding.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose, Zhiyi, are you okay?”
Bei Ning, crying, was about to go down the stairs to help Shen Zhiyi but was pushed away by Bai Tingyu and fell sitting on the staircase.
“You okay?” Bai Tingyu supported Shen Zhiyi’s arm.
She made a slight hiss, pulled up her trouser leg, and saw the bleeding wound, lightly shaking her head, “I’m fine, just can’t seem to stand up. I might slow you all down.”
“Zhiyi, I’m sorry. It’s all because I ran too quickly,” Bei Ning explained tearfully.
Shen Zhiyi smiled, “It’s okay, don’t blame yourself. It was my own fault for not standing firm.”
Bei Ning wiped her tears with her sleeve, visibly relieved as if this was the outcome Gong Dongxi would be satisfied with.
Gong Yu reached out his hand towards her, “Let’s get up, we need to hurry and leave this place.”
Bei Ning glanced at him, knowing that guys from the Four Major Tycoons’ families were all popular among the girls, not only because of their affluent backgrounds but also their outstanding appearances.
Yet, Bai Tingyu was a bit more popular, not only because he was a good student, but also because he was outstanding in sports. He represented Class One in the school’s basketball games, and even for the provincial league, the school would center the team around Bai Tingyu, letting him lead a team out to compete.
Meanwhile, Gong Yu gave off a quiet and gentle impression, academically excellent but very modest, and particularly polite, he was the unattainable ‘first love’ of all girls at Imperial City Academy, a completely different character from Bai Tingyu.
She blankly took his hand and then let go, whispering softly, “Thank you.”
Gong Yu smiled with his eyes curved: “No need to be polite.”
Ahead, Bai Tingyu had already carried Shen Zhiyi on his back. Once they had all entered, the door behind them closed, thankfully there was a faint light in the tunnel.
[Bei Ning is so clumsy, it’s infuriating! She’s already useless and she’s still dragging the team down!]
[I always feel like she’s doing it on purpose, I can’t quite put my finger on it. Let’s just consider it an accident, but how is Shen Zhiyi going to handle the following tasks? We were in a winning position, and then this mishap occurred…]
[Well… Ji Tian has been stacking up luck buffs all the way here, never really seen her take a real hit, can someone really be this lucky? If she wins this time too, I’ll hail her as the ultimate lucky charm.]
The door closed for less than three minutes before Ji Tian and her group arrived at the spot.
She looked at the messy footprints on the ground and raised an eyebrow, “It seems that Shen Zhiyi and the others have already gone inside.”
Yu Chuang’s heart tightened, “So quickly?”
Ji Tian glanced at him and sighed, “We spent too much time on the second floor. It would have been better if we had been faster.”
“Yu Chuang, if we are unfortunately eliminated this round, don’t feel bad. You can still come back for the second season of the show.”
Yu Chuang: “…”
How could it be the same!
He had no achievements in the first season, and in the second season they were sure to change the guests. Maybe with the show’s rising popularity, A-list celebrities would join, and would he still get camera time? He might as well eat shit.
His heart was aching.
He pulled himself together and said, “It’s alright, they can’t have gone far. If we move quickly, we might catch up.”
Ji Tian nodded, “Okay, everyone spread out and look for any boxes, preferably unlock box number three.”
The group immediately scattered. Wen Jiangxue was reluctant, but she went searching too.
Yu Chuang was the most eager; as he passed by He Chenxi, he noticed her spacing out and couldn’t help but say, “He Chenxi, you’ve been daydreaming all along the way, do you even want to pass this level? If we lose, we might all be eliminated!”
What do you think?
