Chapter 27

◎Second update◎

"Hmph," Yan Sinou snorted, looking away. He lowered his head and smugly looked at the card in his hand. It had a rat label on it. He glanced at Lin Chaojin and the others, then raised his voice as he opened it. "Great! It's still suitable for our status."

He took out the card wrapped inside with a "swish". Within five seconds, the expression on his face changed a lot. "This is impossible," his voice was full of disbelief.

Yan Ruo noticed his expression was off, so she walked over to take a look. The card read: "Congratulations, you've triggered the 'One Rat Spoils the Whole Pot' skill." Hey, you nasty little rat! You're so mean, what need do you have for a safe house? You've ruined it all yourself! Ruined it all! Ruined it all!

Immediately after, a beeping sound echoed from the smartwatch, followed by a public message: Congratulations to player Yan Sinuo for triggering his skill, causing all of his safe houses to be destroyed! P.S.: Safe houses cannot be shared. Players, please be on your own and escape.

Chi Ling glanced at the message and breathed a sigh of relief. "That was a close call! I was just about to go get it." Four and a half safe houses, gone in an instant. The thought filled her with dread. Then she thanked Lin Chaojin, "It's a good thing you stopped me."

Lin Chaojin glanced at the public screen message, raised his head and said indifferently, "There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world."

Obviously Yan Sinuo and Yan Ruo also heard it, their faces turned red and white, and they looked ugly.

Yan Ru was the first to regain her composure, and said to Lin Chaojin and the others in a gentle voice, "It's a good thing you didn't get this skill card," with an expression of relief for them.

Lin Chaojin glanced at her and said quietly, "After all, humility is a traditional virtue."

After hearing this, Chi Ling turned her head away and curled the corners of her mouth. Is this what she meant to say here? But she felt so good, what should she do? The performance of Yan Ru and her brother just now almost made them feel embarrassed.

Yan Ru's perfect expression twitched, she looked away and said nothing more.

However, Yan Sinuo's expression management was not as good as hers. Ever since he got the card, he had a gloomy face. He threw the card to the ground angrily and turned away.

"Hey, Sinuo," Yan Ruo no longer cared about them and hurriedly chased after them.

Lin Chaojin glanced at the card on the ground, walked over and picked it up, only to find out what was written on it.

Then he threw the card into the trash can next to him, turned to the camera and said, "Children in front of the camera, please don't throw garbage casually. The kindergarten teacher should have told you that this is uncivilized behavior."

Yan Sinuo, who had not walked far, staggered and almost fell when he heard this, and walked away even more angrily.

[Pfft, Yan Sinuo suffered another 100 million critical hit. Hehe, thank goodness he acted quickly, otherwise our Lingbao safe house would be completely destroyed, dog head.]

[Haha, Missy's goddamn "There's no free lunch in the world"—this irony is perfect. Today is another day to learn the art of speaking from Missy.]

[To those who said earlier that Missy would snatch other people's cards, Missy is here to show you some disdain. Thank you, no need.]

"But it seems our innate skills have also been exposed," Chi Ling clicked on the "safe house" in the message and complained, "Director Zhang, you're just enjoying the fun."

Lin Chaojin pondered their "nine" for a moment, then said, "I think I know what their cat's talent card is. We are the number nine. For fairness, and according to the director's instructions about cats' characteristics, they should be 'cats have nine lives,' corresponding to our nine safe houses."

Chi Ling's eyes lit up when he heard this and he nodded, "I think that's it."

Director Zhang, who was sitting in front of the camera, choked while drinking water and said to Assistant Li, "No, is this so easy to guess?"

[This woman is so terrifying. She guessed the enemy team's talent card so quickly. She really has a quick mind.]

[Now it's Detective Conan time. Let's follow the young lady's reasoning. This and that. Okay, I get it.]

[Don't exaggerate so much earlier. Who wouldn't understand such a simple question? I can do it too.]

[The guy in front, yes, yes, yes, you are awesome, you can do it too.]

"Oh wow," Lu Ge also received the message, showing his white teeth, "Ha, so their talent card is the safe house, this is too weak, they can only defend, unlike us who have four lives, wait, this time my sister will definitely be caught by me."

Chi Huai curled his fingers after hearing his words, raised his eyes and glanced at a glowing card on the side of the road. He stopped and said, "There seems to be a card there."

"No, no," Lu Ge stopped when he heard his words and asked anxiously, "Skill Card."

"Then," Chi Huai raised his hand and pointed him in the direction.

"Really," Lu Ge followed the direction he pointed and saw the card lying quietly on the ground. His eyes lit up, "Let's go pick it up." Just as he was about to walk over, he remembered that it was Chi Huai who found it first. He paused and said to him, "You found it, go get it."

Chi Huai withdrew his hand and glanced at him. In the dim light, Lu Ge could not see his expression clearly. He only heard him say, "It's okay. Go get it and see what it is."

"Okay," Lu Ge saw that he didn't mind, so he walked over and picked up the card happily.

Some fans who were watching Lin Chaojin's live broadcast witnessed this familiar scene and started adding subtitles.

[No, brother, don't pick it up. Listen to your sister, "There's no such thing as a free lunch." That card is definitely not a good one!]

[Ah, I'm so anxious, brother, don't pick it up. Hey, why isn't your sister by your side? Ge Suangsong is now like a naughty child who has escaped his sister's control and is running wild.]

[Huai Shen, quickly stop him from doing stupid things.]

[No, I'm just trying to come up with a conspiracy theory. Why didn't Chi Huai pick it up himself, but let Lu Ge do it?]

[Uh, the sisters in front, Huai Shen and Ge Ye are in the same group. How could he possibly cheat him? Maybe Huai Shen was just being kind and gave it to him.]

[Agree +1]

Lu Ge obviously didn't have the chance to see the barrage in front of the camera, so he happily picked up the card and opened it with a "swish". Before he could be happy, he saw the words on the card clearly, his face froze, and the happy expression instantly broke.

Turning around, she said to Chi Huai with a sad face, "Brother, what the hell is this card? The director is playing tricks on me."

Chi Huai walked over and took a look. It said: "Congratulations to the player for triggering the skill 'A cat with gloves can't catch a mouse'." Hey, greedy thing, you've been fooled. Let's see how you can still be so majestic without your hands.

"Luckily, brother, you didn't pick it up," Lu Ge slumped his shoulders. He was as happy as he was just now, but now he was as sad as he was. "I give up. No, this skill card has a side effect."

Hearing his words, Chi Huai touched his nose and said, "The director reminded us before that skill cards may not be useful."

"Okay," Lu Ge remembered that there was such a sentence and nodded dejectedly.

Suddenly, two big men in black appeared and walked towards them.

Lu Ge was startled and complained, "You guys are really elusive."

The big man in black didn't answer him. Instead, he said expressionlessly, "Please accept your skill card and hold out your hand."

After hearing this, Lu Ge twitched his lips and said, "Ghost's skill card," and then he stretched out his hands obediently.

The man in black took out a pair of large gloves and put them on Lu Ge without saying a word. That was not the end yet. He took out a rope from somewhere and skillfully tied a knot on the gloves in a few seconds.

Lu Ge watched them perform their moves and said sarcastically, "They actually have gloves! You're really good at this." He then watched them skillfully tie the knots and laughed, jokingly saying, "No, what did you two do before? You're quite skilled at this 'killing people and dumping bodies' technique."

The two big men in black twitched their faces, did not answer him, quickly tied the knot, and disappeared without saying anything.

Lu Ge looked at the man who disappeared in a short while and thought: "No, where did the director find such professional people? I almost want to hire them as my bodyguards."

Director Zhang said with a stern face: You wish for the best, kid.

Lu Ge moved his hands and thought to himself that he was indeed a professional. Now his hands could not move at all, and he was obviously useless.

He turned to Chi Huai and said with a smile: "Hey, look, now I am even worse off than Yang Guo. Although he is a one-armed hero, at least his other hand can be used. Unlike me, I am an armless hero. Brother, you will be the main force of our team from now on. You have worked so hard."

"Yeah," Chi Huai lowered his gaze and nodded.

Lin Chaojin's watch received a message with a beep: Congratulations to player Lu Ge for triggering his skill and "losing" both of his hands. Hey, naughty kittens deserve punishment. Get scared, players!

"How did Lu Ge lose both his hands?" Chi Ling glanced at the message, looked up at Lin Chaojin, and thought about how to comfort her. After all, it was her brother who was "injured".

Before he could finish his words, Lin Chaojin raised his eyebrows without changing his expression. "There's such a good thing."

Chi Ling swallowed back the words before she could finish her sentence, and changed her tone: "Yes, this gives us a slight advantage."

[Haha, I noticed Lingbao's expression change was amazing. Lingbao: I was just about to open my mouth to say something to comfort her, but luckily I didn't say it, otherwise I would have been embarrassed. Sorry to bother you.]

[The eldest lady is ruthless, what's a younger brother? Oh, it seems we are a little closer to victory.]

[Lu Ge fainted in the bathroom crying at this moment. Sister, you didn't even offer any comfort, and you even gloated over my misfortune. I'm still your brother.]

[The older sister will answer: What is a brother? Can he be betrayed, you idiot?]

Lin Chaojin and the other person came to a new place, a castle with warm yellow lights on, and pushed the door open and walked in.

A beautiful woman with long curly hair and a palace dress turned around and saw them with a smile on her face. "Hey, little guests who have come from afar, I think you must be happy to do me a favor."
