During this time, Su Yan picked up her old habit again and began whispering commentary from the tree.
“Dear viewers and friends! Right now, we can see that the Pursuer really wants to join this train of cars and perform the classic ‘Old Man Pushing a Cart’ trick for everyone. However, the speed of the cart is too fast—even at this pace, he can’t get on.”
“Am I acting weird?”
“You’re the one acting weird!”
“I think it’s because your cart’s speed is too fast!”
“Did a car just roar past just now?”
“That’s not the kindergarten bus! Let me down!”
“The door’s welded shut!”
Su Yan’s expression remained natural, as if the fierce words just now hadn’t come from her mouth: “The Pursuer looks a bit dizzy now, standing still in place. Perhaps he’s thinking about how to insert himself into this standing formation.”
“Did another car just pass by?”
“I’m pure, but I still don’t understand what you’re commentating on.”
“Mom, I want to get off!”
“I want to see how many kinds you can say.”

“Wait? Forget the last sentence, but was there even a car just now?”
“An honest man has appeared! Everyone, hold him down!”
At this moment, a guest suddenly stumbled, and the whole team instantly became a little chaotic.
The last few guests crashed into each other.
What was originally a smooth interface suddenly developed cracks.
Of course, the Shadow Entity noticed this scene.
Its eyes brightened, and it immediately wanted to charge forward.
Luckily, the person who was tripped adjusted in the nick of time and quickened their pace to the front.
The few guests behind followed suit, restoring the original formation.
Once everything was back on track, Su Yan let out a long breath.
If that formation had been broken earlier, they would have had almost no chance to pass.
Luckily, luckily—she certainly didn’t want her painstakingly devised strategy to be ruined in an instant by this bunch of newbies.
With the crisis resolved, Su Yan calmed herself and continued her commentary:
“Ahem, just now, we clearly saw the guests trying to stack themselves up in a human tower to give the Pursuer a show. The Pursuer saw this as a perfect chance to join them and immediately tried to move forward. However, the guests quickly recovered.”
Su Yan’s exaggerated expression made it look like she was heartbroken: “If the Pursuer could speak, he would surely say: ‘I’m not here to break you up, I’m here to join you.’”
The viewers watching her antics were laughing uncontrollably.
“Shadow Entity: I might not be human, but you’re really a dog.”
“You’re so cheeky!”
“Did someone just ‘drive’ again? That’s three bodies in formation now, right?”
“Love it, love it, reporting the driver.”
“Is this the legendary group sport?”
“Learning something new, learning something new.”
Next, Su Yan unleashed all her skills and successfully, “without a trace,” recommended nine different kinds of happiness (bushi) to the Nick Star viewers.
At the end, she seriously added: “By the way, I was giving a very professional commentary just now, don’t misunderstand anything.
Of course, if there is any misunderstanding, it’s definitely your problem.”
“You? Serious?”
“Who the hell are you, a late-night streamer or what?”
“If I hadn’t seen the actual scene, I would’ve thought you were commentating on some kind of video!”
“Well then, is this the legendary backhanded compliment?”
“‘Yan Jing’—the contemporary master of human body studies!”
“If I’m not acting weird, I’d actually believe you.”
“No nesting dolls allowed!”
It’s gone.
While Su Yan babbled on, the Shadow Entity, overwhelmed by her “formation,” realized it couldn’t keep going like this.
This group of guests had obviously formed a strange kind of balance.
If it kept struggling here with them, it would probably gain nothing in the end.
Seeing only five minutes left, even the usually indifferent Shadow Entity grew anxious.
It stopped and deeply felt the need to break through the barrier.
But such an almost perfect formation—how could it disrupt it?
Wait… is someone missing here?
The Shadow Entity’s eyes lit up as it suddenly turned to stare at Su Yan, who was watching the show from the tree.
This woman had been completely ignored by it!
If it could eliminate her, it wouldn’t be a wasted trip.
Moreover, if Su Yan didn’t want to be eliminated and jumped down from the tree, the original formation would definitely be disrupted.
That way, it would be killing two birds with one stone.
Su Yan saw the Shadow Entity looking at her and clearly understood what it was thinking.
She cleared her throat, raised an eyebrow, and coldly spat out three words: “Don’t even think about it.”
Then she decisively fixed herself in place.
Shadow Entity:
The audience burst into laughter.
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha!”
“Shadow Entity really has it rough!”
“Who was the idiot who said this formation has a flaw?! How dare they comment on the master’s formation?”
“Damn! Forgot there was this rule.”
“Shadow Entity is way too hard done by, huh?”
“So this formation really can’t be broken?”
Five minutes flew by, and the Shadow Entity reluctantly vanished from the field.
At this time, ten guests remained.
The guests looked at each other and finally burst out laughing together.
This round was finally over.
“Awesome!”
“What else can I say but ‘666’?”
“Is this a record? The first time so many people have passed together.”
“‘Yan Jing’ forever the god!”
“I want to experience being carried by a pro too, sob sob.”
“Looking back, ‘Yan Jing’ has always been the one carrying the entire game, right?”
“A treasure girl! Investing in her never loses!”
“Fan now, fan now! I’m following her as soon as I get out!”
Su Yan sat on the tree branch, swinging her legs as she smiled, watching the sea of joy below.
The unchanging sunlight above filtered through the mottled leaves and fell across her face, adding a layer of mystery to her otherwise ordinary visage due to her changed appearance.
The black sunglasses on her face made it hard to see her expression from below.
No one could guess what Su Yan was thinking.
“Radiator” looked up at her, feeling something.
The girl on the tree didn’t notice his gaze, half-leaning on the trunk while watching the noisy commotion below.
A faint smile curved her lips.
Somehow, though they were only a few meters apart, Radiator suddenly felt as if a chasm as vast as an abyss lay between them.
He couldn’t help but want to break the distance: “Hey! ‘Yan Jing’!”
Su Yan turned her head to look at him.
Radiator opened his arms wide and stepped closer: “Jump down, I’ll catch you!”
Su Yan raised an eyebrow, about to refuse.
But at that moment, several other guests also approached.
One of them laughed: “Boss, you jump down! We’ll all catch you together.”
The others all nodded: “Yeah! Boss, come on down! We’re counting on you this time!”
They quickly encircled the whole tree, ensuring Su Yan wouldn’t fall to the ground.
Su Yan tucked in her legs, crouching nimbly like a cat on the branch.
She shook her head and refused: “I can jump down by myself.”
A girl seriously said: “How can we let the boss jump down alone? Even if we’re trash, we have trash’s dignity.”
Su Yan looked at her amusingly: “What is trash’s dignity?”
A boy immediately stood up and loudly declared: “We can’t let the boss get hurt!”
Others nodded vigorously: “Exactly! That’s right!”
Meow~
Since the others insisted, Su Yan had no reason to refuse.
She smiled and nodded: “I’m coming down!”
With that, she leapt down and landed in the middle of the crowd.
Sure enough, everyone caught her as promised.
But instead of simply setting her down, they threw her up into the air with force.
“‘Yan Jing’ boss, long live!”
After everyone stood steady, the host Xiaohong quietly appeared behind them.
It hopped over to the crowd and half in admiration, half in pain said: “You guys are amazing! Fifteen started, ten survived.”
The five guests who had died earlier stared in shock at the survivors: “What? You all passed?”
The others quickly made room around Su Yan and pointed at her: “All thanks to the boss.”
Then a few of them chattered on about Su Yan’s method for passing.
The host also knew Su Yan had played a huge role this round and nodded at her, asking: “So, do you want to start the second round right now?”
Su Yan shook her head: “Wait, no rush. Let’s discuss the strategy for the next round first.”
The host nodded in understanding and then stepped back, disappearing from the field.
Everyone looked puzzled, and a girl asked: “Why bother discussing? Why not just start? The formation you set up just now was almost unbeatable, right?”
The five who had died immediately said: “The boss must be planning to include the five of us, that’s why she wants to rethink it.”
Su Yan sighed.
That was indeed her plan.
If those five guests weren’t included, they’d definitely cause trouble later.
But the field was limited in size.
Adding those five would shrink the space considerably.
Her method depended heavily on the spacing between guests.
That spacing was just enough for everyone to keep pace with the Shadow Entity’s speed.
Now with five more people, the formation would be disrupted.
Finding a suitable angle again would be very difficult.
Su Yan wasn’t a math genius, and the previous success was largely accidental.
Moreover, due to the field’s limited size, those five couldn’t just be placed somewhere on the edges.
That would affect the overall flow of the formation and easily cause collisions.
Her tree only supported one person.
It couldn’t bear an extra one.
In short, there was no way to fit those five in.
Su Yan looked at the hopeful expressions on the five’s faces, then lowered her head in frustration.
She wasn’t some saintly figure who had to bring everyone through.
But the greater the expectations, the bigger the disappointments.
If she didn’t bring them along, how could they accept failure?
One Pursuer had already given her such a headache.
If these five stubbornly broke the formation, she would be completely helpless.
What to do?
Su Yan sighed deeply.
“Radiator” naturally saw the worry creasing her brows.
He stepped forward and patted her shoulder: “Are you having trouble coming up with a good solution?”
Su Yan looked at him and thoughtfully nodded.
Radiator leaned close to her ear and whispered: “How about we take the initiative and kill those five first? That way, there’ll still be ten of you. Isn’t that better?”
