Fun Seesaw (1)
Jian Tanxi said to the three people opposite her, "Don't be nervous. Find a suitable spot to squat down and don't move around. This is a seesaw; if anyone changes position, the others will lose their balance."
There were three young people opposite, one man and two women. The man was in his early twenties, looked like a male college student, and was quite handsome; one of the women was also in her early twenties, petite and delicate, like a Barbie doll.
The other woman looked much more mature, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. She was wearing a business suit, had short hair, and a calm and capable demeanor; she was probably a female white-collar worker.
The male college student stood in the middle, the female college student in front of him, and the female office worker behind him.
The male college student and the female office worker quickly calmed down and kept observing, choosing a suitable position.
But the female college student was panicked, constantly turning to look at the male college student behind her, saying, "Zicheng, what do we do... are we going to die...?"
The male college student comforted her, saying, "Don't be afraid, Jiaojiao, I will protect you. Even if we die, we'll die together!"
Female college student: "Waaah... I'm so touched..."
The female college student ran towards the male college student and hugged him.
It seems that these two young people are a couple.
However, the fact that they are only focused on dating at this time is rather abstract.
Because the female college student ran too far, the seesaw tilted to the right, and Jian Tanxi and Professor Pan involuntarily slid to the right. The female office worker on the far right was almost sliding off.
Jian Tanxi and Professor Pan made a quick decision and ran to the left side.
In this way, the seesaw regained its balance.
The female office worker managed to steady herself just before she was about to fall. She was now standing on the very edge, and one wrong step would send her plummeting.
So she looked at Jian Tanxi and Professor Pan and asked, "My two teammates over there, I want to move back a little. Could you move a little to the middle as well, so we can maintain balance?"
Jian Tanxi and Professor Pan both said, "Okay, you can go back, we'll go back together."
The couple didn't move. The female office worker walked towards the middle, and Jian Tanxi and Professor Pan also walked towards the middle.
In this way, the seesaw remained basically stable and did not shake much.
Just as the female office worker was about half a meter away from the male college student, the college student spoke up: "Stop! You're not allowed to come any closer! Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You're not going to get near my boyfriend!"
The male college student also said to the female office worker, "Madam, please don't come near me. I already have a girlfriend, and I only love Jiaojiao."
The female college student looked touched again and said to the male college student, "Zicheng, I knew you were the best."
The male college student patted the female college student's head and said, "Of course, Jiaojiao is the most perfect in my heart, no one can compare to you."
The female office worker not far away: "..."
Jian Tanxi: "..."
Professor Pan: "..."
The female office worker looked shocked, then explained to the couple, "Um, I'm not interested in other people's boyfriends, especially not such an abstract one. I wouldn't want him. I was only approaching you for safety, so please don't misunderstand. Girl, since you won't let me get any closer, I'll stop. But please, you two, don't change your positions, or we'll have to rearrange ourselves."
To everyone's surprise, the female college student got angry again and said to the female office worker, "Why did you belittle my boyfriend? You must apologize to him!"
Female office worker: "..."
Jian Tanxi and Professor Pan: "..."
The female office worker, wanting to consider the bigger picture and not wanting to argue with two teenagers, said, "Okay, I apologize. I shouldn't have said that about the boy... Anyway, we're in a dangerous situation right now, and we have to work together to get through this."
The female college student gave a slightly arrogant "humph": "Do you even need to tell me? I realized a long time ago that this is a cooperative game. Because the seesaw can only keep everyone alive if it stays balanced. Once someone falls off, the seesaw becomes unstable, and everyone else can easily fall off as well."
The male college student looked at the female college student with admiration: "Jiaojiao is so smart."
Others: "..."
Jian Tanxi broke the awkward silence by saying, "Um... let's get to know each other first. My name is Jian Tanxi, and I'm a third-year student at Beijing University of Technology."
The female college student opposite looked at Jian Tanxi and said to the boy with some grievance, "Zicheng, she's from a 985 university. Her school is better than ours. We're only from 211 universities."
The male college student looked at her and said, "Jiaojiao, don't be sad. Although her school is better than yours, you are more outstanding than her, and you are also more beautiful than her. I don't even care about those girls from 985 universities."
The female college student cheered again, looking at the male college student with starry eyes: "Zicheng, I knew I didn't choose the wrong person..."
Jian Tanxi: "..."
Professor Pan: "..."
The female office worker coughed twice and said, "Let's chat later. Let's continue with our introductions first. My name is Meng Yuening, and I work for Dock Energy. I'm 28 years old."
Jian Tanxi looked at the female office worker with some admiration: "Doc Energy? Is that the multinational corporation that's so hard to get into and has such great benefits?"
Meng Yuening laughed and said, "Yes, I got in because I was lucky."
"No, no one ever gets into Doc Energy because of luck. You are very capable."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Professor Pan said, "My name is Pan Xian, I am 78 years old, and I am a professor at Huazhong University of Science and Technology."
Next up was the couple.
The male college student said, "My name is Hong Zicheng, and I am a sophomore at Yangcheng University."
The female college student said, "My name is Du Jiaojiao, and I am also a sophomore at Yangcheng University. Hong Zicheng and I are a couple."
Jian Tanxi: "I can tell."
Du Jiaojiao asked, "Why were you staring at my boyfriend just now?"
Jian Tanxi: "I wasn't staring at him, I was looking at Meng Yuening behind him, so it was inevitable that I would see him."
Du Jiaojiao: "In short, you must not have any feelings for him. I know he is very outstanding and popular with girls, but he can't have room for other women in his heart."
Jian Tanxi: "..."
Jian Tanxi said speechlessly, "Don't worry, I won't have any feelings for him. I hope you two stay together forever."
At that moment, a large piece of paper floated down from the sky, on which was drawn a bat-man.
This bat-man is shaped like a bat, but has a human head, hands, and feet, making it look very strange.
Although the paper was in the fire, it didn't burn at all. It seems that its material is not ordinary paper, but fire-resistant paper.
Then, the bat-man spoke: "Welcome to the new round of games: Fun Seesaw. Participants: Jian Tanxi, Pan Xian, Du Jiaojiao, Hong Zicheng, Meng Yuening. I am the referee for this competition, Bat Superman."
Next, let me introduce the competition rules:
First, no one can die, otherwise the others will not be able to leave the instance.
Second, the players are divided into two teams, with members on the same side considered as one team. Team 1: Jian Tanxi, Pan Xian. Team 2: Du Jiaojiao, Hong Zicheng, Meng Yuening.
Two teams of players must retrieve a small bead from the center of a seesaw. The team that retrieves the bead can leave the seesaw and escape the fire.
The game is considered complete when everyone leaves the fire room.
Now, use your skills to win the game!
Everyone looked towards the center of the seesaw and sure enough, they saw a white bead right in the middle.
However, the bead was too small and was embedded in the wooden board, so no one noticed it earlier.
Jian Tanxi asked, "Wait a minute, I don't quite understand the rules of the game."
Batman asked, "Is there anything you don't understand?"
"The team that gets the bead can leave the seesaw. But the other team will lose their balance and fall into the fire. Even if the other team reacts quickly and sends someone to the other side to keep the seesaw balanced, it will only prevent themselves and their teammates from falling off; they still won't be able to leave the seesaw."
In that case, there must be one team that cannot leave.
However, the condition for passing the level is that everyone must leave the fire room, which is impossible.
Batman said, "No, it's possible. You're all geniuses, figure it out yourselves."
Professor Pan asked, "I also have a question. Did the team that got the bead leave the fire room directly, or just leave the seesaw? If they left the seesaw, would they fall off?"
Professor Pan's question was crucial.
The young couple had been secretly moving towards the center, hoping to be the first to grab the bead. But when they heard Professor Pan's words, they stopped.
If, after leaving the seesaw, you rise directly into the air and then fall into a sea of fire, that would be disastrous. In that case, it's better not to try and grab the beads.
Batman replied, "The team that gets the bead will be suspended by a rope, leaving the seesaw, and won't fall into the fire."
Professor Pan continued, "Hanging up with a rope? Is it hanging from the neck, or from some other part of the body?"
Batman laughed: "Dear Professor, you're being overly cautious. Of course, not hanging them by the neck, otherwise the winner would be hanged immediately. The rope will be suspended around their waists, keeping them upright."
The female office worker, Meng Yuening, asked, "After being hoisted up, will you leave this house, or will you continue to stay in this house?"
Batman: "We'll stay in this house, but the winner will be suspended near the ceiling to get away from the fire and be safer than the player on the seesaw."
Meng Yuening said, "Since getting the small bead only results in being hung from the roof, the winner still can't leave. In fact, being suspended by a rope makes it even more inconvenient for them to move around and makes it even harder for them to escape."
Batman: "I told you, there is a way for everyone to escape, but you have to find that way yourselves."
After hearing Batman's explanation, everyone was hesitant.
Admittedly, being suspended by a rope reduces the burning sensation, but it also increases the difficulty of escape.
However, if you stay on the seesaw, there's almost no way to escape.
This house has no doors or windows, and apart from this seesaw, there is nowhere to stand.
