35: Chapter 35 Life is meaningless, destroy this world!

The first obstacle was the rotating rollers.

Six inflatable rollers were placed side by side across the track in sequence. Taking the physical fitness of the female guests into consideration, the Program Team did not set the rolling amplitude too large.

However, to pass through, one had to step on the rotating rollers and run across quickly. If one were even a fraction slower, maintaining balance would be out of the question once the roller turned.

Zhou Yichen stopped in front of the rollers.

He looked at those rolling cylinders, his brows tightly knitted together, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

Su Qing caught up, came to a stop beside him, looked at the rollers in front of her as well, and took a deep breath.

"Yichen, I'll go first, and you follow me?"

Zhou Yichen glanced at her, his lips moved, and in the end, he simply nodded.

Without hesitation, Su Qing stepped directly onto the first roller.

As soon as her foot touched it, her body swayed along with the rolling cylinder, but she quickly stabilized her center of gravity and swiftly stepped her other foot onto the second roller.

Just like that, swaying with one step and steadying with the next, Su Qing crossed the roller zone slowly at a pace that wasn't fast, but was extremely solid.

The whole process took about twenty seconds.

For a girl, this speed was truly exceptional.

Soon, Su Qing jumped off the last roller, steadied herself, and turned around to look behind her.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yichen was still standing motionless at the starting point.

"Yichen! Come over here!" Su Qing shouted.

Zhou Yichen took a deep breath and stepped onto the first roller, whereupon his expression changed instantly.

The roller rolled backward, and his body leaned backward as well, his center of gravity completely shifting off-balance.

"Splash!"

Water splattered everywhere.

Zhou Yichen fell entirely into the water, soaking wet from head to toe. Not only was his hairstyle ruined, but his makeup had also smudged a bit, and his expression went completely blank.

The netizens in the livestream instantly burst into laughter.

[Hhahahaha hahahaha couldn't even last a single second]

[Falling into the water right at the start, truly deserving of Zhou Yichen]

[Su Qing made it across, yet Zhou Yichen couldn't even last a second?]

[What do you guys know! This is called strategic probing!]

[What the hell kind of strategic probing is that, he clearly just couldn't make it across and is still being stubborn]

Soon, Zhou Yichen crawled up from the water, wiped the water from his face, and wore an indescribable expression.

According to the rules, he had to return to the front of the obstacle.

With the help of the staff in the pool, before long, a soaked Zhou Yichen returned to the starting point, the expression on his face looking as though he had swallowed something thoroughly unpalatable.

Soon, under the gaze of everyone present, Zhou Yichen cautiously stepped onto the roller.

He had thought that being a bit slower would be fine, but unexpectedly, the slower he went, the more doomed he was.

"Ah!"

To everyone's surprise, this time Zhou Yichen didn't fall down; instead, he hung onto the roller like a macaque monkey.

Moreover, he was spinning 360 degrees along with the rotation of the roller, feeling as though the entire world was turning upside down.

Su Qing instinctively reached out and called out.

"Yichen, can you grab onto me?!"

Zhou Yichen could no longer care about anything else. Enduring the urge to vomit, he stretched out a hand and grabbed around frantically.

It was a pity that Su Qing was still far away from him, so he was simply grabbing at thin air.

The livestream's bullet comments instantly flooded the screen.

[Hahaha hahaha I'm dying of laughter, is this a roller or a massage chair?]

[I'm familiar with this posture of his, my dog looks just like that when it's scared]

[Su Qing must be exhausted, running into such a useless burden]

[When it comes to dragging others down, my Brother Yichen is a professional!]

At the scene, Zhou Yichen was hugging the roller tightly, the expression on his face already on the verge of cracking.

He took a deep breath, preparing to grit his teeth and climb up.

Finally, through Zhou Yichen's unremitting efforts, he fell into the water once again.

...

By the time Zhou Yichen cleared the first obstacle and arrived before the second one, nearly five minutes had passed back and forth.

He had also given everyone a demonstration of what a wet temptation looked like, except that his current attire seemed somewhat mismatched with his gloomy expression.

Su Qing glanced at him with worry, and left with no other choice, she could only continue walking forward.

The second obstacle was the rotating windmill.

Several huge inflatable blades were rotating slowly, requiring one to find the right timing to rush across.

Looking at it this way, it should be simpler than the rotating rollers.

Su Qing observed for a few seconds, seized a gap to rush across, passed smoothly, and cleared it in one go.

Zhou Yichen stood at the entrance, staring at those rotating blades, his mind rapidly calculating the timing.

Three, two, one, he rushed out.

Then, smack! Critical hit.

Poor Zhou Yichen was knocked into the water once again.

This time he didn't climb up immediately.

Soaking in the water, he tilted his head back to look at the sky, his eyes filled with absolute despair, leaving only a single thought in his mind.

He regretted it.

Had he known earlier, he wouldn't have come to this lousy show.

Back then, his manager had said this dating variety show had massive traffic, and Shen Qingxue was also participating, so it would be a great chance to hype up a CP, piggyback on the national goddess's popularity, and raise his own status a bit higher.

He had agreed and came over full of joyful expectations.

And what was the result?

He did manage to eat the traffic, but it was all negative traffic.

And what about Shen Qingxue? Up to now, she hadn't even given him a proper look a single time.

Furthermore, she even chose that obscure third-rate nobody as her CP—that penniless wretch who only owned a single pair of shoes.

Zhou Yichen closed his eyes, then opened them again.

I'm exhausted, just let this world be destroyed.

...

It had to be said that the disastrous combat situation of their group actually caused the livestream's popularity to rise instead of fall.

Netizens were still discussing Zhou Yichen's extreme water falls, especially the iconic scene of him hanging and spinning on the roller, which had already been made into a GIF and was spreading wildly across the internet.

Through the efforts of the two, the countdown finally ended, yet the two of them hadn't even completed half of the obstacles.

At this moment, Zhou Yichen felt immensely relieved.

It's finally over...

Among them, Su Qing walked the entire course, while he soaked in the water for the vast majority of it.

During the second half, the staff practically had to fish him out of the water time and time again using a landing net.

Inside the livestream, netizens were talking about it with relish.

[I'm dying of laughter, this score is slower than my grandma taking a stroll.]

[Su Qing is genuinely strong, too bad her teammate is a pig.]

[Zhou Yichen: Who am I? Where am I? Why did I come to participate in this show?]

[What do you guys know? Big Brother has an injury on his hand! Being able to persevere through this is already quite amazing!]

[Exactly! Furthermore, he fell into the water so many times and still didn't give up; isn't this kind of spirit worth learning from?]

[If it weren't for the injury, Brother Yichen definitely could have taken first place!]

[Did the Program Team deliberately turn up the roller's rotation speed? Targeting our big brother?]

[Turn up the roller's rotation speed? How did Su Qing get across then? Is she not human?]

[Zhou Yichen's fans are truly—I'm crying to death, always on the front line of making excuses.]
