192: Great luck! Time to go beachcombing!
Walking out of the sealed duty room of the Longhai City Police Bureau.
Su Yun could clearly sense... the 'look of admiration' and 'peculiar' gaze from Fatty Wang Fan.
Fatty's small face trembled: "Brother, you guys didn't do anything bad in there, did you?"
"Why were the curtains drawn?"
"Oh right, I also heard the sound of clothes being taken off..."
Su Yun: ... He suddenly shot a glare at Wang Fan and walked straight toward the temporary housing unit.
"Ding! Bank card ending in 1234 has received a real-time deposit of 10,000 yuan! Balance..."
Officer Hong finished the transaction: "Fatty, stop guessing randomly."
"Your Brother Su went in there to make money!"
Make money!?
Is there a secret in the duty room?
Fatty Wang Fan quickly followed Su Yun.
He decided in his heart: If he gets the chance, he has to go in and try it out!
The temporary housing unit... was arranged as expected—small but fully equipped!
There was a large bed, and the sheets and duvet covers were new.
It was equipped with a water dispenser, fruits... — [Wow, not bad! This treatment is better than when I was a security guard!]
— [Never look down on security guards; they save decades of detours!]
— [Brother Su, I want to eat fruit slices, please feed them to me, thank you...]
— [A free king-sized room, comfortable and reassuring!]
— [Haha, Brother Su is practically running the Police Bureau now!]
The traffic in the livestream room continued to exceed a hundred million.
Su Yun was half-lying on the bed.
He suddenly thought: "Fatty, I haven't asked you yet, has our ranking changed in the show?"
Hearing this, Wang Fan, who was fully engrossed in his game.
Without thinking, he said bluntly: "Brother! What level are you at? Can't you be a little more self-aware?"
"Don't ask such childish questions anymore..."
"Just wait to win by lying down!"
Su Yun: "..."
To be honest, if he hadn't been in such a good mood today, he would have really wanted to slap Fatty twice.
However... this guy was accurate about one thing: the 1 billion prize was already a sure thing!
— [I'm so envious I'm grinding my back teeth!]
— [Remember back then, who said Brother Su would starve to death on the streets?]
— [Sorry! My voice was too loud back then, I apologize!]
— [So, picking up trash really can lead to wealth...]
— [What restricts a person is never their choice, but their ability!]
Having nothing to do.
Su Yun figured that he was, at least, the top dog in the show now.
It wouldn't be too much to check in and care about the situation of the other contestants, right?
For the first time, he proactively called the director team... Ring, ring!
Inside the office... The program executives, sporting dark circles and drinking black coffee like water.
The director was filled with trepidation: "Chairman! Su Yun is calling!"
The Chairman instantly jumped to his feet: "Agree! Agree to any request he has!"
"Hello? Su Yun?"
The director answered the phone, his voice so gentle it unconsciously had a hint of vocal fry.
Su Yun paused for a moment and asked: "Hello Director, I hope I haven't disturbed your rest?"
Everyone: ???
Unnecessary concern is the most terrifying thing!
Especially coming from Su Yun, the safety publicity ambassador!
The director forced a smile: "No, no..."
"Oh... I just wanted to ask, how many contestants do we still have in the show?"
Su Yun asked subconsciously.
The executives in the office froze.
They answered seriously: "Excluding those who withdrew due to special reasons, there are currently over two hundred left!"
Over a hundred withdrew!?
Su Yun was very curious: "Director, why did so many people withdraw?"
"I recall that there were some special awards and benefits in our show's rules, right?"
In order to heavily promote the show "the strongest challenger."
To ensure every contestant gained something for their labor... the show rules included: Special rewards can be triggered based on the contestant's performance!
For example, if you work diligently and efficiently as a dishwasher in a restaurant... the production team could award you: The Strongest Dishwasher, with a cash reward of one thousand yuan!
Another example: You work as a KTV companion singer!
If you randomly move one hundred customers!
You can trigger the reward: The Golden Voice title! Three thousand yuan in cash!
Rules similar to these were too numerous to count.
Hearing this, the director seemed to understand the meaning of Su Yun's call.
"Su Yun, are you feeling lonely?"
"To tell you the truth..."
"Actually, the majority of contestants who withdrew didn't all do so because of you."
"Take, for example, Contestant No. 1, the Chairman's former secretary..."
"She is now the Chairman's wife!"
"Then there's Contestant No. 58, the most respectable and best-conditioned occupation—Traditional Chinese Medicine..."
"Do you know why he withdrew?"
"He was severely beaten by a patient!"
"Speaking of him, No. 58 had good medical skills, but... he had a terrible mouth! He said whatever came to mind..."
"Once, a young couple went to see him, and Contestant No. 58 diagnosed: Your girlfriend is biologically male! She won't menstruate!"
"The guy with the dyed hair was immediately unhappy, and Contestant No. 58 said: She is literally a walking contraceptive saint!"
"When asked for a solution, Contestant No. 58 said: Break up! Your girlfriend will be my girlfriend from now on! I will bear this pain!"
The director spoke on and on.
This wasn't the first show he had directed... but from this season of "the strongest challenger."
He truly experienced: The diversity of species!
Hearing this, Su Yun's lips twitched slightly: "Alright, I understand."
He had originally thought about visiting other contestants to experience their challenges since he was bored.
Now it seems... he better forget about it... The next morning.
Exactly seven o'clock in the morning.
The system's mechanical voice echoed punctually in Su Yun's mind.
[Ding! Daily sign-in successful! It is another day full of hope!]
[Today's sign-in reward: Merit +1! Wealth +1!]
[Today's fortune prediction: Great Fortune!]
With a "buzz"... Su Yun sat up from the bed.
The corners of his mouth lifted, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud... Great Fortune! Everything goes well!
"Brother... why are you grinning like an idiot?"
Fatty Wang Fan was still groggy.
Su Yun didn't explain much... He put on his clothes and quickly washed up.
Officer Hong and the others had already brought the breakfast.
"Brother Su Yun, what are your plans for today?"
"How about... coming with me to patrol the streets?"
Su Yun subconsciously shook his head: "I think I'll pass!"
Although patrolling in a police car was impressive, and although he could freeload and benefit... he was tired of the feeling of dealing with corpses and rotting flesh every day.
Officer Hong asked again: "Then what are you going to do today?"
"Just don't cause any trouble for me..."
These two kids... as long as they were within the boundaries of Longhai City, they fell under the jurisdiction of the Longhai City Police Bureau.
Su Yun thought for a moment.
He said: "Don't worry, Officer Hong."
"I plan to go check out the seaside."
"I'll follow the trend and go beachcombing or something."
"I'll try my luck; maybe I can pick up a big gold chain that floated over from the opposite shore?"
