Silver-like rainwater wrapped in white steam fell from the sky endlessly, turning into even more water vapor that melted into the thick white fog. The members of the Red Team, who were surrounded by the steam, wished that their ears were filled with water so they couldn't hear clearly.
"The White Team moved forward by three squares?" Chen Fan was the first to jump up. If he wasn't afraid of Mr. Dot, he would have grabbed Lin Sanjiu's collar and shook her. "What is that woman doing? Why did she ask the White Team to move forward by three squares? "
Apart from Brown-Furred Rabbit, the other people's expressions were the same. It was as ugly as one could imagine.
As if he could hear the thoughts of the members of the Red Team, the young man from the White Team took three steps forward briskly before he stopped. He looked at Lin Sanjiu and the Red Team with a carefree smile. He laughed a few times before he pointed at Lin Sanjiu and said something. He seemed to be overjoyed.
Just when the members of the Red Team were confused and angry, Mr. Dot's voice rang out, "Sigh, I didn't expect the Red Team member to lose."
"Now, let me explain to everyone what just happened. The Red Team member requested for a chance to speak to the White Team member. After that, she told the contestant from the White Team that she hoped that the two of them could work together for once and not only move one square every time — because it was obvious that moving only one square every time would only cause them more losses, and there would be no other benefits. Rather than suffering a huge loss before dueling, it's better to duel earlier. "
"When the White Team member heard this suggestion, he agreed and said that he would call for three squares the next time. However, during the eighth round, the White Team member unilaterally broke the agreement and only called for one square. The Red Team member still followed the agreement and called for three squares. That's why the difference is now. "
After Mr. Dot finished his explanation, Zhong Junkai's face turned red with anger. He glared at the young man from the White Team and shouted, "Mr. Dot! Isn't there a punishment for such an obvious violation? "
Both the Red Team and the White Team heard Mr. Dot's reply clearly, "Even though it's not good to violate the agreement, the rules do not prohibit it."
"What — — This is obviously a lie —" Zhong Junkai couldn't sit still. Just as he was about to jump up, his girlfriend grabbed his hand. Only then did he look back with some doubt, and found that his teammates all had disapproving looks on their faces.
Old Wang's face darkened. He smacked his thick lips and said softly, "That Miss Lin looks fierce. In reality, he was just a naive fellow. It's a good idea, but don't you know where you're at? "
"That's right, Brother Zhong," Chen Fan chimed in, "She's practically offering herself up to be cheated! Not to mention that person, even if it were me, I would make the same choice. "
Zhong Junkai looked at them in shock. After a while, he shifted his gaze to his girlfriend.
Lara said softly, "Don't go against Mr. Dot. What if you get punished in some way? What should I do … "
This sentence was like a gust of wind that immediately extinguished Zhong Junkai's anger. He glanced at the crowd and finally sighed without saying a word.
B.Rabbit, who was resting at the side, opened one of his eyes and looked at them, then closed his eyes again as if he was about to fall asleep.
As if he knew that they were almost done talking, Mr. Dot spoke, "This time, the contestant from the White Team walked three steps in a row and came to the lottery booth to buy a lottery ticket. She opened a treasure chest. Contestant from the White Team, do you want to open this treasure chest? "
The young man shouted proudly. From the shape of his mouth, it was clearly a "yes".
"Congratulations, contestant from the White Team, you've opened a + 2 point! However, because of the witch's curse, you actually only got 1 point … Now, your score is -1 point. "
Even though he only got 1 point. This was also a great surprise — the young man didn't expect that his choice would bring him such good luck. He was instantly full of smiles and looked much more relaxed.
"The contestant from the Red Team acted bravely on the bus and caught a pervert, a hooligan, and a thief. The Public Security Bureau awarded you + 3 points. Now, the score for the Red Team is 1 point. "
The young man's smile froze.
Currently, the Red Team had 2 prizes. 1 point, one chance to "pass", one chance to "take a five-minute break", in the 8th square.
The White Team had 3 prizes, -1 point, one chance to "reverse a move", in the 10th square.
"Haha, I didn't expect her luck to be so good. She actually got 1 point in one go!" Old Wang laughed as he slapped his thigh. His wet and round tummy quivered. "Actually, if we think about it carefully, that guy is still 6 squares away from the finish line. If he can step on a few of the pause squares, we might have a chance of winning …"
Chen Fan nodded in agreement. Just as he said "I hope so", he suddenly saw Lin Sanjiu's back and was stunned.
He wasn't the only one who was stunned. Everyone else was a little stunned because Lin Sanjiu did the same thing she did last time. First, she said something to Mr. Dot. After she got his permission, she turned around and talked to the young man for a long time.
As they couldn't hear what Lin Sanjiu said, the members of the Red Team had no choice but to widen their eyes and study every expression on the young man's face. Even the raindrops that rolled down his face were scrutinized by everyone.
The young man couldn't believe his ears. He stood rooted to the ground for a long time. After he looked at Lin Sanjiu from head to toe a few times, he finally nodded again.
Lara's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She grabbed her boyfriend's sleeve and said with a trembling voice, "Hubby, she … she can't be … How can there be such a stupid person …"
The members of the Red Team thought of the same possibility at the same time and their faces turned pale.
At that moment, Mr. Dot spoke in his usual cheerful tone, "The ninth count, the White Team moves forward 3 squares, the Red Team moves forward 1 square."
If they could hear the voices of the White Team, the young man's laughter would probably be reverberating through the air. He couldn't wait to walk past another three squares and was already standing on the 13th square. He was only three steps away from the finish line and he would win.
Chen Fan suddenly jumped up. The veins on his forehead bulged as he dashed towards the gaming arena. None of the people in the arena could stop him. However, before he could reach Lin Sanjiu, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared from the white mist and struck him. Immediately, a pungent smell of burnt flesh permeated the air.
Lin Sanjiu looked indifferently at Chen Fan, who was not far away from her. His clothes were already smoking. Lin Sanjiu ignored him and turned to look at the young man who was getting closer to the finish line.
"This is a warning to the members of the Red Team. If anyone tries to come into contact with the contestants again, they will be punished with death."
As soon as Mr. Dot said that. Lin Sanjiu didn't need to turn around to know that Chen Fan must have gone back.
"The contestant from the White Team found 1 point from his grandmother's belongings. White Team + 1 point. Your current score is 0." Mr. Dot announced the rewards and penalties once again. "The contestant from the Red Team went to the bank to deposit money. You are the 100th customer and you have received a treasure chest. Do you want to open the treasure chest? "
"Yes," Lin Sanjiu looked at the square in front of her and replied calmly.
"Congratulations, the contestant from the Red Team has received a prize!"
Despite the strange reactions from the people in the arena, Lin Sanjiu remained calm.
After the ninth round of counting, the situation of the Red Team and the White Team were compared:
The Red Team has 2 prizes, 1 point, 1 chance to "pass", 1 chance to "take a five-minute break", and is in the 9th square. Contestant Lin Sanjiu has received a personal prize.
The White Team has 3 prizes, 0 points. You have a chance to "reverse a move", and is in the 13th square.
For the 10th, 11th, and 12th round of counting, the Red Team and the White Team only advanced one square each.
From the looks of it, Lin Sanjiu had come to her senses and wouldn't be fooled again. However, the gap between the two teams had increased to 4 squares. The outcome was already decided, and it was too late to say anything now.
However, in these three rounds of counting, both teams had gained quite a lot. In the three squares that they passed, there were basically either treasure chests or prizes. Everyone was a little excited when they heard that.
After the 12th round of counting. The situation of the Red Team and the White Team was compared:
The Red Team had two prizes, three points, one chance to "PASS", and one chance to "take a five-minute break". She is in the 12th square. Contestant Lin Sanjiu has received 2 personal prizes.
The White Team has 3 prizes, 2 points, 1 chance to "reverse a move", and 1 chance to "seek help from outside the arena". She is in the 16th square. The White Team has received 1 personal prize.
The White Team was already on the 16th square, which meant … There was only one more chance for the White Team to win the game of "Destiny Depends on Man's Double Six".
None of the members of the Red Team looked happy. Lin Sanjiu had purposely lost the game in order to get out of the deathmatch. This was their conclusion.
"On the 13th round of counting, the White Team will stop moving. The Red Team will advance 1 square."
"Huh?"
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn back. Some of them widened their eyes in shock. "Didn't they say that we can't call 0 …?"
"As the contestant from the Red Team has used the chance to" pass ", she is exempted from the obligation of counting once. Therefore, the contestant from the White Team can only stay where she is," Mr. Dot explained in an understanding manner.
The young man was only one step away from the border. He looked at Lin Sanjiu and frowned.
"Isn't this kind of struggle meaningless?"
Lin Sanjiu looked down and didn't look at him. She heard Mr. Dot's voice, "The contestant from the Red Team accidentally spilled wine on an old man at a company reception. That was how she got to know one of the top three richest men in the world. After that, they got married. The contestant from the Red Team received a wedding gift, + 1 point, and a treasure chest. Do you want to open the treasure chest? "
"Yes."
"Congratulations! The contestant from the Red Team has received 1 personal prize! "
The young man's eyes suddenly widened. He quickly raised his head and said something to Mr. Dot with an anxious look on his face.
"Oh? The contestant from the White Team has just requested to use the chance to "Reverse a Move"! " Mr. Dot's words surprised everyone. "But I'm sorry. As the number of squares you can advance is determined by the contestant from the Red Team, you can only move back when your opponent uses the chance to" Reverse a Move "… In that case, do you still want to use it?"
