Su Yan was something else.
She rolled up her sleeves, “Let me tell you, at crucial moments like these, you should cut to commercials. That way, viewers, not wanting to miss the plot, will stay and watch the ads. Then, once you collect the ad fees, won’t you have another stream of income?”
The production team, It seems… she has a point?
“Wait? I’m starting to lose sight of where this is going?”
“I thought she was a host, turns out she’s a planner?”
“Cutting to commercials at a crucial moment? How ruthless!”
“You’ve taken all the ruthlessness on Nikka Star!”
“Actually… it seems really feasible!”
“Putting everything else aside, if the production team cuts to ads, I’ll definitely report them.”
“Putting everything else aside, if the production team cuts to ads, I’ll definitely report them.”
Su Yan stopped there and returned to “work”.
“Alright, let’s get back to the show.
Now, that alligator has clearly reacted, plunging into the water, intending to punish this incompetent delivery person.”
She took a few steps forward, looking closely at the river, “We don’t know where that delivery person has swum to yet, but judging by the alligator’s movements, it might still catch up.”
The next moment she spoke, the water turned red.
“Sprite Cola” burst out of the water, gasping for air, and swimming frantically forward.
However, he was bobbing up and down, clearly being dragged underwater by something.
“Sprite Cola”‘s expression looked terrified.
He shouted loudly, “Save me! The alligator is biting my back leg down here!”
Although she disdained his betrayal of his teammates, those teammates were indeed a bit idiotic, so he couldn’t be entirely blamed.
So Su Yan still offered advice, “Kick down hard. As long as you kick the alligator off, you’ll get a chance to surge forward.”
“Sprite Cola”‘s face was twisted with pain, and he said exasperatedly, “If I could kick it off, I would have! Why do you need to tell me?”
Su Yan pouted, “Well, if I could save you, wouldn’t I have done it already? Villains meet their match; save yourself.”
She wasn’t that oblivious.
While those idiots were indeed too naive, this person definitely had ill intentions.
After all, he abandoned his teammates without a hint of hesitation, clearly having planned it beforehand.
If you use others, be prepared to face the consequences.
“Cola Sprite” looked below himself and gritted his teeth.
He hadn’t passed the last round, and if he didn’t pass this one, he would truly lose.
One hundred thousand yuan!
That was one hundred thousand yuan! If he just won, he could pay off his grandmother’s medical bills.
And after getting out, his injuries would completely heal.
For his grandmother, he would do anything!
He looked up at Su Yan, gritted his teeth, and forcefully pulled his leg out of the alligator’s mouth.
Instantly, an intense pain twisted all his features.
Ignoring his cries, the man gritted his teeth.
While the alligator was distracted by his half-leg, he quickly swam to the shore with one leg.
Shocked by his perseverance and desire to survive, several people jointly pulled “Cola Sprite” ashore.
Once on land, “Cola Sprite” finally relaxed.
An intense pain also spread throughout his body.
“Ah! My leg! It hurts so much!”
At his shout, Su Yan and the others noticed his half-severed calf.
Su Yan had to admit, this person was truly ruthless.
To willingly break his own leg, that kind of courage wasn’t something ordinary people possessed.
She made a pause gesture in the shadows, signaling that she was stopping her commentary.
This new guest was a bit too noisy, his wailing greatly affecting the commentary’s effectiveness.
“Cola Sprite” cried out in pain for a while, then endured it, looking at Su Yan, “That… hiss… that… you’re safe now. Could you lend me your sunglasses for the next round?”
Su Yan raised an eyebrow, stating concisely, “I don’t do charity.”
She truly admired this person’s courage to tear off his own leg and could guess that he must have been in urgent need of money in reality to be so desperate.
But as she said, she wasn’t here to do charity. If she established a kind persona now, it would be like confining herself.
If similar situations arose in the future and she didn’t help, her persona would crumble, and she’d likely be ridiculed.
There was no need to trap herself.
“Cola Sprite” had already thought of this.
He struggled to speak, “I… Host! Can I share my winning prize with someone else?”
The cloaked figure instantly appeared and nodded: “You can.”
There was a precedent for this.
Their production team was also very humane; you cooperate if you wish, anyway, the total money given is this much.
“Cola Sprite” looked at Su Yan, gritted his teeth, and said to her and the cloaked figure, “After I win, I’ll share… what’s your name?”
He looked at Su Yan.
Su Yan already knew what he was going to do and said plainly, “Yan Jing.”
“Cola Sprite” nodded and continued to the cloaked figure, “After I win, I’ll give ‘Yan Jing’ twenty thousand of my one hundred thousand yuan. She only needs to lend me her sunglasses for one round.”
The cloaked figure nodded, “Contract effective, no backing out.”
After speaking, he immediately vanished from everyone’s sight.
Su Yan hadn’t thought of such a method before.
She thought about it and didn’t want to trick this person.
After all, his desire for victory made Su Yan realize he was definitely in dire need of money in real life.
A child from a well-off family like Su Yan would never willingly break her own leg for victory.
She’d rather be eaten by an alligator than endure the pain of a broken leg.
After all, if she were eaten, she could revive, but the pain of a broken leg couldn’t be eliminated.
“You need to know something: in the third round later, if you wear the sunglasses, you will definitely face a fierce attack from everyone for that one minute.”
She eyed “Cola Sprite” suspiciously, questioning him bluntly, “In your current state, can you handle it?”
This was true. After hearing Su Yan’s words, “Cola Sprite”‘s eyes darkened.
He had underestimated the situation.
He had originally thought he could pass as long as he got the item, but he forgot about the other guests lurking (single rhyme).
He had already lost a leg and definitely couldn’t beat the other guests.
Even with the sunglasses, it would be useless, just giving them to someone else for nothing.
Seeing his appearance, Su Yan raised an eyebrow and suddenly asked, “If your leg hadn’t become like this, could you have withstood theå›´æ”» (encirclement) of those people?”
“Cola Sprite” lowered his head and said dejectedly, “Yes, unfortunately, there’s no chance now. This leg can’t heal no matter what, right?”
He had been a street fighter, had fought in real battles.
Although those people looked formidable on the surface, most of them were just a rabble and not worth worrying about.
There were a few trained fighters who could actually fight.
But as the old saying goes, the soft fear the hard, and the hard fear the desperate.
He could do anything for victory.
If he were still whole, those people definitely couldn’t beat him.
At most, they’d make him suffer a little.
***
The bullet screen was also filled with regret.
“Alas, what a pity, that person worked so hard just now.”
“I’m almost moved, he’s so desperate!”
“No matter what, I’m a fan of this person. I’ll favorite him after he gets out.”
“I always feel like the young lady has a way…”
“Stop messing around, what else can be done?”
Su Yan suddenly smiled, “Wanna gamble? Jump in now, feed yourself to the alligator, and you should revive completely unharmed for the next round.”
Everyone froze, surprised by Su Yan’s suggestion.
She further analyzed, “The rules state that simply reaching the other side counts as passing; there’s no rule about being alive on arrival. Guests who hadn’t died weren’t healed, but those who were revived showed no injuries at all.”
Su Yan crouched down, getting close to “Cola Sprite,” and said earnestly, face to face, “Anyway, in your current state, you’ll definitely fail the next round. Instead of waiting to die, why not gamble to see if it works? What do you say?”
Though a question, Su Yan was confident.
She knew that given “Cola Sprite’s” survival instinct, he wouldn’t miss this chance, even if it meant self-sacrifice.
This was why she told “Cola Sprite” this plan.
If “Cola Sprite” lacked this resolve, her words would be useless.
She might even be resented, accused of being cold-blooded.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, “Cola Sprite” nodded, saying determinedly, “I’m taking this gamble!”
He then turned and began crawling towards the river.
After just two steps, he struggled to turn his head back to Su Yan: “Thanks.”
Su Yan waved her hand, saying nothing.
She merely offered a method; the actual execution depended on him.
“Cola Sprite” leapt into the river, swimming towards the alligator.
Soon, a layer of red floated on the water.
During their discussion, many guests had already successfully crossed.
With experience from the first round, many capable individuals were prepared.
Ten out of forty people crossed the river, which was quite a number.
Among them, “Brother Tiger” also made it across.
He walked over and bid Su Yan farewell, “Winning two rounds means I can exit the instance directly. My leg hurts!”
Because he hadn’t died, the alligator bite wound on “Brother Tiger’s” leg still hadn’t healed!
Now, the saltwater irritation made it seep fresh blood again.
Su Yan nodded, admiringly saying, “Brother Tiger, you’re too strong. You truly conquered the instance through sheer brute force.”
“Brother Tiger” shook his head, saying somewhat self-deprecatingly, “Nah, what’s this? I once saw someone…”
At this point, he suddenly fell silent, “Why am I telling you this? In this game, people really can’t compare. Just keep being yourself; I have a hunch your fans will soon surpass mine.”
Su Yan was a little curious at this, but seeing “Brother Tiger’s” expression, she figured he didn’t want to elaborate.
“Brother Tiger” was quite shrewd; seeing Su Yan’s undisguised expression, he knew what she was thinking.
He smiled, “You might meet those people in the future too; after all, the more games you play, the more likely you are to run into them.”
With that, he waved his hand and exited the instance.
Most of the guests who had already cleared the round also chose to leave the instance; they didn’t want to suffer any more here.
In a flash, this side of the river became much emptier.
And what about the other side of the river?
It was still surprisingly lively; it seemed six or seven people didn’t plan to cross.
It was unclear if they had given up entirely or were waiting for the next round to try their luck.
Among them was “Ice Dream Tear.”
She was focused on Su Yan, hoping to get the sunglasses from Su Yan in the next round.
“Ice Dream Tear” thought self-righteously that since Su Yan had betrayed her this round, she must compensate her in the next.
And all she needed was for Su Yan to give her the glasses; that wasn’t too much to ask, was it?
However, what “Ice Dream Tear” didn’t know at this time was that her beautiful dream had already fallen through; Su Yan had already promised the sunglasses to someone else.
Of course, even if she hadn’t given the sunglasses to “Cola Sprite,” she probably wouldn’t have given them to “Ice Dream Tear.”
For no other reason than this person lacked self-awareness.
Twenty minutes passed quickly, and soon, everyone was teleported back to the starting point.
Out of the original forty people, only a dozen or so remained.
Besides those who had passed and left, more had lost two rounds and, having no hope, had departed.
