Chapter 713: The Stepmother (17)

Wen Wan was exhausted and gave up. She was grabbed by a man in black and taken to a room where the other eliminated guests were. Soon after, the children also returned.

"Hero, Chen Qian, you are our greatest hero." If it weren't for Chen Qian, they probably wouldn't even have food to eat. Who would have thought that the one who ultimately changed the course of the battle would be the seemingly frail Chen Qian?

Qiao Xiaoya also found out, and looked at Wen Wan, saying, "You did very well this time."

"You're pretty good too." Wen Wan pinched Qiao Xiaoya's alchemy. If it weren't for the energy points Qiao Xiaoya gave her, she really wouldn't have been able to kill the two men in black and successfully save their dinner.

The production team didn't want to put them through the wringer at the end, so they didn't even ask them to cook the meals themselves. Instead, they laid out a variety of delicious dishes on the table, the aroma of which was simply irresistible.

The children couldn't wait any longer, and the parents were also starving, after all, they had done a lot of physical labor all afternoon!

Soon everyone started eating. Wen Wan buried her head in her food, feeling utterly exhausted. She felt like she had been running around all afternoon, and her body didn't even feel like her own anymore. Not to mention taking care of Qiao Xiaoya. Fortunately, Qiao Xiaoya was able to eat by herself. Actually, Wen Wan felt quite lucky. After all, although Qiao Xiaoya didn't like her, she was a good girl. At most, she would bicker with her, but she never actually did anything to hurt her.

That's true. With such a kind and gentle person as Gu's mother guiding him, how could he possibly be a bad child?

After finishing their meal, everyone prepared to rest, because tomorrow would be physically demanding. If they couldn't kill eight men in black, they might not even be able to afford two meals. And most importantly, their goal was to kill twelve men in black in one day, which was no easy task.

Wen Wan and Qiao Xiaoya returned to their room.

After the two showered and changed into their pajamas, Wen Wan asked Xiao Ya, "How do you earn energy points during the day?"

Qiao Xiaoya: "Answer the question."

"Uncle asked a lot of really hard questions, and my little dumpling brother couldn't answer any of them, but I answered several correctly and was number one."

Wen Wan: "You're awesome!"

Perhaps because it was the first time Xiaoya had received praise from Wen Wan, her face turned red. "Even if you praise me, I won't like you."

"Why? Your mother likes me a lot, and your brother likes me a lot too, so why don't you like me?"

Xiaoya: "Because you are a bad woman, your brother's stepmother, and stepmothers in stories are all bad people."

Wen Yan: "..."

So this child has read too many fairy tales, which is why she thinks she's a wicked stepmother?

"Let's talk about reason. Isn't your brother more capable?"

"Of course my brother is amazing! He's the most amazing person!"

“Your brother is older and bigger than me. Do you think I would bully him? He's not a princess in a fairy tale. Have you ever heard of a stepmother bullying a prince?”

Qiao Xiaoya pondered for a moment.

Looking at Wen Wan's thin and frail appearance, compared to her brother, she didn't seem like someone who could bully him.

"You really won't bully my brother?"

Wen Wan shook her head. "No."

"Then... then if you don't bully my brother, then I won't hate you anymore. Tomorrow I will try my best to do the tasks and earn more energy points for you."

Wen Wan kissed the little boy, "Good boy, I will also work hard to complete the tasks and strive to get first place."

The two reached a friendly agreement, and that night Wen Wan slept soundly with Qiao Xiaoya in her arms.

...

The next morning, Lin Ge and Liu Zihua heated up the leftovers from the night before and quickly solved the breakfast problem for everyone.

Then I started making plans.

After yesterday, everyone has learned a lot. At least they know the location of the safe zone and are proficient in those skills.

And most importantly, they finally know how their child earns energy points.

Answer the questions.

It wasn't just about answering questions; there were also various mini-games. However, the children clearly weren't taking it seriously. They didn't feel any urgency and thought it was just for fun, with adults helping them out.

The parents did a lot of ideological work with their children.

Let the children know that if they don't do their tasks properly, they will be captured by the men in black, then they will go hungry, be kicked out of the castle, and will no longer be beautiful princesses and handsome princes.

The children all became serious.

Then the parents started making plans.

Chen Kai and Liu Zihua had the best physical strength, so they were responsible for stopping or distracting the men in black. Wen Wan was the luckiest and was able to find various hidden energy points, so she and Lin Ge were responsible for finding the mission points.

Chen Xi was responsible for protecting Wen Wan and Lin Ge, and also for stepping in when Chen Kai and Liu Zihua were physically exhausted. After all, he was young, and he had to do his part.

The plan was quickly finalized, and the game began.

Behind the scenes, the director had already planned how to torment these guests today, and had listed Wen Wan as the number one player to be eliminated.

After all, he investigated yesterday and there was no possibility of cheating. That leaves only the most unlikely possibility: this person is truly a chosen one, and his luck is absolutely incredible.

The twelve men in black began their operation.

They also began to take action, still starting with three energy points each.

They were besieged from the start. Chen Kai and Liu Zihua were responsible for drawing the fire of the men in black from the outside, while Wen Wan led Lin Ge to find the energy point.

Moreover, her efficiency was exceptionally high. After all, Wen Wan had the system as a cheat code, so she could find almost any box, no matter how well hidden. To avoid suspicion, she even rummaged around the box a few times and even created a persona of a finding expert with a strong sixth sense.

Lin Ge was also convinced.

Chen Kai and Liu Zihua will meet up when they have only one energy point left, and Wen Wan will give them one energy point.

Moreover, the children were extremely efficient today. Qiao Xiaoya managed to get five energy points for Wen Wan in just two hours, and Xiao Tuanzi even got one. Xiao Tuanzi's mother, Lin Ge, was overjoyed and cried tears of joy, as her son had finally made some money.

So far, Wen Wan has accumulated thirteen energy points.

But that's not enough.

It's still far from perfect.

The director clearly didn't want to let Wen Wan, this big, fat sheep, go, so he sent five or six men in black to surround and attack her.

However, Wen Wan was as cunning as a mouse, always managing to find blind spots in the surveillance. She even conspired with Chen Xi to take away and tie up the cameraman who was filming with her.

For the sake of the show's effect, Wen Wan knew the director would agree, so she started to find energy points while exploiting loopholes in the surveillance. When she got tired, she would gather the others and spend an energy point to enter the safe zone to conserve her energy. By collecting energy points, the five of them had accumulated a total of twenty-three energy points, enough to kill four men in black.
