[The anchor is right, swallowing it doesn't necessarily mean death. The protective suit can still withstand stomach acid for a while. Who knows, after being swallowed, Number 7 might be able to cut open his abdomen and come out of the tree frog's belly. That would be quite a sight.]

[It seems like the streamer is getting a bit overpowered after wearing the protective suit. Could this be considered cheating?]

[If protective suits weren't needed, the streamer would just be throwing away their money; what would be the point of gambling then?]

[That person, number 3, was saved from being bitten on the head by the giant earthworm because of the protective suit, proving that the suit is very sturdy.]

[I feel the government should provide each livestreamer in the contaminated area with a set of these protective suits; that would make their livestreams from the contaminated areas much more interesting.]

These protective suits are very expensive; they cost 5,000 coins per set in the store.

Can this protective suit protect against mutant ants? If it can, then it's a panacea.

[As long as you don't get swallowed whole by a giant and can't get out for a short time, you're basically invincible.]

[This protective suit isn't that overkill, is it? At most, it's just a bit sturdy; it wouldn't be able to stop mutated ants much, would it?]

Why think so much? The problem is, the streamer won't die if he jumps, but my 1000 coins are gone!

[Now, apart from number three who is dead, everyone else is still alive. It's been more than ten minutes, so those who bet on total annihilation are probably going to be wiped out.]

Meng Ziran was startled when No. 7 suddenly jumped down from the tree. However, she understood when she saw a giant tree frog darting out of the tree.

We've already lost 900,000, so we can't afford to lose this number 7 again.

While it's believable that anyone else would be eliminated, Number 7 is known for his excellent hiding skills and is considered a veteran player. With him around, Meng Ziran is confident that a complete wipeout is impossible.

Number 7, who had fallen from the tree, got up and stood still, then stood there blankly for a few seconds.

Everyone assumed he was startled by the sudden encounter with the giant tree frog, but in fact he was looking at his donation information over and over again.

A sudden donation of one million yuan would be unbelievable to anyone at first glance.

After confirming everything, Number 7 immediately took off running. Not to escape any polluting beasts, but to shout as he ran, "I quit! I quit!"

What's going on? Does this count as abstaining?

Does abstaining count as being eliminated?

[Why does it feel like player number 7 is one of us? Did they deliberately forfeit so everyone else could win?]

[Were they terrified by the giant tree frog?]

[Fine, then he's out, right?]

[I should have bet 1000 coins; it would have turned into 10,000 in no time. Now I only won 1000 coins, what a pity.]

[My entire bet was wiped out, but now I feel like my chances are even greater.]

【Me too】

With No. 7 forfeiting and being eliminated, Meng Ziran's heart clenched.

But then, number 8 also inexplicably and spectacularly abstained. The expression on their face when they abstained was so captivating that Meng Ziran suspected that they had not only not lost 10,000 Sunshine Coins, but had actually gained more.

The fact that number 3 withdrew was an accident, and number 7's withdrawal could be considered a coincidence, but the fact that number 8 also withdrew is definitely problematic.

It was easy to find out that all three of them had been tipped one million yuan by "Chasing the Wind Boy".

Li Lechen was just about to give a reward to No. 5, who was racing against a giant snail, when he heard Meng Zaoran call out to him directly in the live stream: "Hey, you in the exclusive zone, can we talk in private?"

Are the big spenders in the exclusive zone also watching the live stream?

What did that whale in the exclusive zone bet on? I want to bet the same thing as him.

[@ChasingTheWindBoy...]

Li Lechen didn't do this to cause trouble for Meng Ziran; he simply wanted to get Meng Ziran's attention, or rather, to get him to contact him. So without hesitation, he clicked to request a one-on-one video chat.

Even knowing that Li Lechen must have some ulterior motive, Meng Zaoran quickly accepted the offer. Twenty minutes had already passed; if the two chatted for another ten minutes, she could break even this time.

Moreover, it was quite obvious that Li Lechen had actually held back; otherwise, twenty minutes would have been enough time for him to tip everyone a million.

If each of the ten people has a million, that's ten million, but if the whole army is wiped out, you'll have to pay five hundred million.

With just ten million, you can definitely get five hundred million. How could I not have thought of such an obvious loophole?

Are you going to thank me?

As soon as the video call connected, Li Lechen wore an innocent-looking smile.

Meng Ziran couldn't even say "no" to this. Because if Li Lechen hadn't shown mercy, he would have really suffered a painful loss.

But this completely ruined his gambling business. Once people understood the situation, they could easily copy his methods and always lose.

Therefore, Li Lechen indirectly cut off his biggest source of income.

"What exactly do you want?" Meng Ziran could only ask bluntly, "Even Kang Shuaifu is afraid of you now, so it's pointless for you to mess with a nobody like me."

Li Lechen was surprised that Meng Ziran was quite perceptive about the situation, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Therefore, Li Lechen made a request for some of Meng Ziran Company's cosmetic formulas, manufacturing processes, and even manufacturing equipment.

Meng Ziran did not refuse immediately, but said that she could consider it.

I can consider it; basically, I agree, but I haven't decided what demands I want to make yet.

......

......

In just half a day, Li Lechen reached a mutually beneficial agreement with Jiang Zhennan and established a very pure and friendly relationship with Meng Ziran, achieving considerable success.

But Kang Shuaifu was frustrated.

The sale of natural water in the mall has been suspended for more than ten hours, and there have been a lot of complaints. Even the Environmental Protection Administration has intervened.

Although he was obligated to accept bribes, Kang Shuaifu really went too far this time.

It's impossible to force Kangshuaifu to relist its natural water in its online store, as all water resources are Kangshuaifu's private assets. However, the Environmental Protection Administration can test the natural water that Kangshuaifu previously sold, and if any illegal additives are found, it can impose penalties according to relevant laws and regulations.

Giving a green channel to bigwigs with permanent residency in safe zones, exempting them from reporting, review, and inspection, does not mean that the government is powerless to deal with them.

The power that can be given can also be taken back.

Kang Shuaifu knew he couldn't withstand scrutiny.

In reality, no permanent resident of a safe zone can withstand scrutiny. So even if they are wealthy, people treat even the lowest-ranking government official with utmost respect.

We agreed to the Environmental Protection Administration's request to put the natural water back on the shelves within ten minutes. Meanwhile, the person from the Health Administration, with whom we were cooperating, also contacted us.

The percentage remains at 120%, but it was originally said that only Class IV and Class III water needed to be treated with the medication that causes abdominal pain. Now, it is required to be added to Class V water as well.
