Lin Xiaoxiao woke up from a hardworking office worker to a rich second generation in another world. She thought her wonderful life was about to begin.
However, before her new life arrived, it...
Wang Quan then turned his attention back to Zhang Nan. He knew that if he touched Zhang Nan's bracelet again in an hour, Zhang Nan would be eliminated. Then he wouldn't have to be tied to this troublesome guy anymore.
Wang Quan couldn't help but look at Zhang Nan, who was still unaware that she had been infected and turned into a small yellow dot. A secret joy rose in his heart. Hehe, so what if she's smart? She's still going to be eliminated by me. But don't blame me, I'm just teaching her a lesson. When you enter society in the future, don't trust others too easily, hehe.
"Wang Quan, what are you laughing at? Did you find some prop?"
Zhang Nan's voice, neither loud nor soft, was amplified in the otherwise quiet, empty floor.
Wang Quan cursed Zhang Nan in his heart again. This idiot, why did he have to shout so loudly!
Wang Quan looked up and, sure enough, the guard on the other side of the passage had his eyes fixed on him. Ivan's team members, who were searching for evidence in the other rooms, also poked their heads out of their rooms or came out to look at Wang Quan, with Ivan's eyes showing a sense of determination.
Wang Quan felt a chill run down his spine under the scrutiny of Ivan and the others; their gazes were anything but friendly, and he felt sweat starting to break out on his back.
If Xu Ge's team's gaze was that of an angry, sulking puppy, then Ivan's team's gaze upon him was that of a ferocious wolf ready to slaughter everything. Although they and Ivan were at opposite ends of the long corridor, their gazes seemed to have invaded and surrounded them.
Wang Quan quickly denied it, "No, I didn't find anything."
However, Wang Quan's words did not stop the people opposite him from staring at him. On the contrary, Wang Quan's denial, coupled with his hoarse voice that was tightened due to nervousness, made the aggressive gazes of the people opposite him even fiercer.
Wang Quan was furious seeing Zhang Nan still acting clueless. What an inconsiderate person! Doesn't he know what he can and can't say?
Zhang Nan said somewhat relaxedly, "Oh, I thought you'd found the prop, that's why you're laughing so happily. Turns out you haven't found it~"
One was tense, the other relaxed; Ivan had already made up his mind who was genuine and who was faking it.
As expected, after Zhang Nan finished speaking, Ivan on the other side couldn't wait any longer and walked straight over.
"Gentlemen, let's get acquainted. I'm Ivan, and these are my teammates. What are your names?"
When Wang Quan saw Ivan approaching, he felt things were getting a bit complicated. He actually hoped Ivan would do what Brother Xu did and simply refuse them and send them away. After all, Ivan and his group looked shrewd and weren't easy to fool. But Zhang Nan, unlike the nervous Wang Quan, smiled and extended his hand, which was adorned with a bracelet, to shake hands with Ivan. "Hello, I'm Zhang Nan. This is my friend, Wang Quan. Ivan, I know you! You're a big streamer on Douyin (TikTok), I've even seen your videos!"
Ivan hesitated at first, but when he heard that the other person was his fan, he shook hands with him.
Ivan didn't beat around the bush any longer and went straight to the point, staring at Wang Quan as he said, "If you find any props, I can buy them at a high price as a reward for your hard work, brothers. The price will definitely satisfy you. Of course, we're still filming the show, so there's no equipment to transfer the money right now, but don't worry, I'll definitely cash it in after we get out and transfer the money to your bank accounts. You don't need to worry about me not honoring the deal either; after all, I'm a big blogger, I have that kind of money. Besides, there are cameras recording here, so you don't need to worry."
Wang Quan felt his forehead was already damp, and beads of sweat were gathering, threatening to trickle down. He had denied it, but Ivan still thought he had a prop, even though he really didn't. If he couldn't explain himself clearly to Ivan, and Ivan mistakenly thought he had a prop and kept following him, his identity would be easily exposed. But then again, how come following Zhang Nan always made him the center of attention?
Wang Quan argued nervously, "No, if we had any, we would definitely give them to you, but we really haven't found any props."
Ivan's eyes darkened for a moment. The young man who had been guarding the corridor slowly walked up behind Ivan, his right hand inside his hoodie pocket as if he were holding something. Although he didn't have any weapon, he exuded a murderous aura, and the scene suddenly became tense.
Wang Quan panicked a little, but his panic only made Ivan more certain that the other party had a tool, and it was a healing and support type, because if it were an attack type, the other party wouldn't be so flustered and trying to hide it.
Ivan said softly, "You two should know that there are support types and attack types of items. Each of us only has ten bars of initial health. If we lose them all, we will be eliminated."
Wang Quan's pupils dilated instantly. Ivan's words were incredibly informative, a flood of information washing over Wang Quan's mind. Ivan was a fake human, meaning ordinary people couldn't harm him. But Ivan specifically emphasized offensive items, which meant his team might have such items. Did that mean the other side had a way to hurt him?!
Wang Quan's gaze swept over the deliveryman's pocket, and his apprehension grew stronger.
Not to mention that everyone initially noticed the health bar, but now no one has discovered any information about it. Ivan already knew that once the health bar is completely depleted, the player would be eliminated. How did Ivan know that?! Could it be that those eliminated before weren't all ordinary people, but possibly fake humans?! How many of those twenty fake humans are left now?! Isn't the survival space for fake humans being compressed smaller and smaller?
It was only then that Wang Quan realized how tempting the 50 million was, that Ivan, a top anchor, would openly utter such threatening remarks in such a nonchalant tone under so many cameras, without even worrying about being heavily criticized and losing fans after the show aired.
Fifty million is indeed a huge sum of money, but after meeting the other contestants, he had already given up hope. Wang Quan was thinking that if he performed well on the show, he could ride the wave of popularity and become an internet celebrity later.
Wang Quan remained silent, but Zhang Nan had already replied to Ivan, "Wang Quan said he didn't find anything."
Wang Quan was truly exasperated by Zhang Nan's slow, deliberate way of speaking. It was like putting him on a hot plate, grilling him on both sides with oil. Any lingering hesitation or thoughts of letting Zhang Nan go were completely suppressed. He would eliminate Zhang Nan as soon as the time was up.
Ivan didn't glance at Zhang Nan, but continued to stare at Wang Quan, his tone not very friendly, "I've already said so much, so how about I reveal what kind of prop it is? You can tell me your conditions, maybe we can cooperate? I don't want to cause any unpleasantness, wouldn't it be better if everyone was happy? You agree, Brother Wang Quan."
