56: Chapter 56: The game got increasingly tense, but in the end, it turned out I was just scaring myself?

As round after round of the game passed, the candies on the table became fewer and fewer, and the number of times they stepped on mines gradually increased.

Shen Qingxue stepped on a mine, and along with Chen Wenwen and Xu Hao, they each stepped on a mine once. The points previously accumulated by all three groups were instantly wiped out at once.

The scoreboard on the field rose and fell like a rollercoaster, just like the emotions of the audience.

Originally, when the game started, as long as anyone shouted "Yamete", or perhaps "Baka Yaro", the guests present would laugh from ear to ear.

But now, no one could laugh anymore.

After all, the points that the two people had managed to accumulate with difficulty were all wiped out by a single mine. How could they not feel upset?

Even Lu Li could barely sit still. If things kept going like this, wouldn't his seafood feast have no hope left? ? ?

It was just that this thing really relied heavily on luck; it wasn't something where you could turn the tables just by being serious.

On the contrary, Zhou Yichen and his group hadn't stepped on a mine ever since they hit one the first time.

The situation on the field gradually became clear.

Zhou Yichen and Su Qing's group now had 15 points, steadily ranking in first place.

Ranking in second place were Lin Mo and Chen Wenwen.

Although the two of them had also stepped on mines, the losses weren't too big, and they quickly accumulated 11 points.

In third place were Xu Hao and Lin Yu, who had stepped on mines twice and currently had only 8 points.

At the very bottom were Lu Li and Shen Qingxue. Although the two of them had only stepped on a mine once, unfortunately they had accumulated too many points which were wiped out in one wave, leaving them with only 5 points currently.

[It's over, it's over, why is the Goddess's group at the bottom?]

[Lu Li, you jinx, can you not hold the Goddess back?]

[So funny, can this even be blamed on Lu Li?]

[Exactly, I can only say that both of them had bad luck.]

[Zhou Yichen is first! Brother is amazing!]

[Su Qing won by lying down and being carried, so funny.]

[At the end of the day, this game still depends on luck. What kind of tacit understanding test is this? It's clearly a luck test.]

...

The game entered its final stage.

The candies on the table became fewer and fewer, and the probability of bombs correspondingly became higher and higher.

Every group started to become cautious, and the speed of picking up candies slowed down significantly.

The game entered its final stage.

At this time, there was only a pile of candies left on the table.

According to the calculations of those who had stepped on mines before, there were still at least three mines left in this pile of candies.

Of course, this was just what they calculated based on the people who stepped on mines; in the eyes of the livestream audience, there were only two candies left in that pile of candies.

Because one mine was eliminated by Lu Li right at the beginning.

Right now, the situation was still led by Zhou Yichen and Su Qing, and some viewers in the livestream room had already started celebrating in advance.

[Ah!!! Brother, come on! Charge!]

[Lu Li's group is still at the bottom, so funny. Is this the so-called tacit understanding?]

[To be honest, this game just depends on luck. What the heck does it have to do with tacit understanding?]

[What are you barking about? You guys weren't saying this earlier when Lu Li and the Goddess got first place in parkour.]

[Times have changed, losing is losing, don't look for excuses.]

[Exactly, and you still want to compare with my brother like this?]

[Fans of Zhou Yichen, let me tell you, the river flows east for thirty years, then west for thirty years. Don't fucking look down on people with your dog eyes right now.]

[Exactly, the game isn't over yet. What if Lu Li and the Goddess have a plot twist?]

[So funny, a plot twist? Are you shooting a movie here?]

The bullet comments were arguing heatedly, while the scene on-site became increasingly tense.

Soon, it was Zhou Yichen's group's turn again to pick up candies.

The staff signaled for Su Qing to pick first. Su Qing glanced at the remaining candies on the table, hesitated for a moment, closed her eyes, and reached out to touch one.

It was still a yellow candy.

But the secret phrase shouted out by Su Qing made the staff shake their heads helplessly.

"Sorry, stepped on a mine, points cleared to zero."

Zhou Yichen's smile instantly froze on his face.

[I'm dying of laughter, retribution! This is called retribution.]

[Haters! Barking?]

[The plot twist has arrived, your Yichen-gege is going to get a goose egg ~]

[I love eating goose eggs ~]

[Ah!!!!!! I want to report you guys, I want to hang you guys online!!!]

[Still no reward posted ~]

"Pfft..."

Lu Li was the first one who couldn't hold it in and laughed out loud, but he quickly held it back and faked a couple of coughs.

No, he had to remain calm.

Although Zhou Yichen's expression was still putting up a calm facade, his hands placed under the table silently clenched into fists.

"Continue."

As Zhou Yichen's group's points were cleared to zero, they instantly dropped from first place to the bottom.

The situation was instantly thrown into chaos.

In the next round, everyone felt a bit timid and alarmed, fearing that they would follow the old path of Zhou Yichen's group.

Even the netizens in the livestream room started to get nervous.

[Too thrilling!]

[It's making my palms sweat from tension.]

[It's just like playing Russian roulette, oh my god.]

Fortunately, everyone was safe and sound in the next few rounds, and it was Lu Li's turn again.

At this time, the candies on the table could be completely counted out; at most, after another round, they would be gone.

Touching them at this time meant the probability of stepping on a mine would skyrocket straight up.

Fortunately, the Goddess of Luck still favored Lu Li and Shen Qingxue's group, and neither of them stepped on a mine.

This situation continued until it reached Lin Yu.

When she picked up a piece of candy and shouted out the secret phrase.

However, the secret phrase couldn't save her. The staff's voice instantly rang out, and the moment Lin Yu heard it, it was as terrifying as a life-claiming urge.

"Sorry, stepped on a mine, score cleared to zero."

Compared to the sudden changes in expression of Lin Yu and Xu Hao, Zhou Yichen and Su Qing instead breathed a sigh of relief.

Good thing, good thing.

Now someone else was helping to be at the bottom.

But just as everyone here breathed a sigh of relief, they started a new round amid trepidation.

As a result, until the very last candy was picked up, the staff's prompt still hadn't sounded.

"It's... it's gone?"

Xu Hao was the first to react, subconsciously widening his eyes, his gaze shifting back and forth between the staff and Director Zhou.

"No wait, where are the mines? Didn't you say there were eight mines? Why do I remember it only sounding seven times?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed.

Right, eight mines, why did it only sound seven times?

What about the remaining one?

[I'm dying of laughter, you guys just found out?]

[The other mine was eliminated by Lu Li.]

[Hahaha I was just waiting to see when this group of people would realize it.]

[Xu Hao's reflex arc is way too long; he only realized it after the game ended.]

[That being said, those people who carefully picked candies afterwards were all scaring themselves?]

[Ha, scaring, themselves ~]

[Hahahaha I can't stop laughing to death.]

On-site.

Director Zhou stood behind the monitor, a meaningful smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, and finally raised the megaphone.

"Alright, alright, seeing that everyone is quite confused, let me explain."

"Indeed, out of eight mines, only seven sounded. As for that unexploded mine..."

Director Zhou deliberately dragged out his tone, his gaze finally landing on Lu Li.

"It was eliminated by Lu Li in the very first round when the game started."
