Su Muyao wiped away her tears fiercely.
The fire in her heart burned brighter and brighter, but she knew it.
Now is not the time for an attack.
She stared in the direction of Yan Ning's room, her eyes cold.
"Just wait and see."
She whispered, "Su Yanning, you just wait. I'll find the perfect opportunity to completely crush you."
"I'll make you fall so hard you can never get up again! I'll make you disappear from Huaiye's side forever!"
The next day, sunlight shone into the ancient desert city.
People gradually left the room.
Ge Wen was already waiting outside with a smile.
Good morning, everyone! The production team has asked me to arrange an exciting activity for you all—a treasure hunt!
Everyone became interested upon hearing this.
Ge Wen continued, "The production team has hidden several small treasures in the city. Finding them will provide clues that ultimately lead to one big treasure! Good luck to everyone!"
Upon hearing the word "treasure hunt," Yan Ning's eyes lit up instantly, and he rubbed his hands together excitedly.
"This is my specialty!"
At this moment, Basha paused for a moment and reminded everyone:
"Most of the city is safe, but there are some remote corners or abandoned houses where it's best not to go alone. Please be careful."
Soon, everyone was able to form teams freely.
Yan Ning, Xie Huaiye, and Sun Wuji naturally formed a team.
Su Muyao's eyes flickered, and she teamed up with Qi Minghao, who seemed easier to talk to.
The two teams set off separately.
Sun Wuji looked at the crisscrossing alleys and various shops, scratching his head in frustration:
"This place is so big! It's like a maze! There aren't any clues at all, where do we even begin? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack!"
Yan Ning, however, was in no hurry, looking around with great interest:
"What's the rush? It's the last episode, the treasure is definitely well hidden!"
"Since clues could be anywhere, why don't we browse these shops and see what happens?"
As she was speaking, she was drawn by a lively shout.
I slipped into a small shop that looked very local.
Inside the shop, a group of burly men were gathered around a large vat, excitedly shouting something.
Yan Ning, curious, squeezed in to take a look—
It turned out to be a cricket fight!
Locally it's called bullfighting.
Two large, glossy crickets were locked in a fierce battle in the jar.
The people around him shouted until their faces turned red.
Upon seeing the new faces, especially the group of strangers, the shop owner immediately greeted them with a smile.
"Gentlemen, would you like to experience our authentic bullfighting culture? It's very interesting!"
Yan Ning immediately perked up and eagerly asked, "Sure! How do we play? Let's give it a try!"
The owner quickly introduced, "I have many carefully bred cows here. Which one would you like to choose for the competition?"
Yan Ning moved closer to the small jars.
She carefully selected one for a long time, then pointed to one that looked particularly energetic and was hopping around very happily:
"This is it! It looks amazing!"
The shopkeeper gave a thumbs up: "Miss, you have a good eye! This is just Black Whirlwind, fierce and powerful! Three thousand yuan."
"How many?!"
Sun Wuji almost jumped up. "Three thousand yuan for a bug? Boss, are you robbing me?"
The boss wasn't angry; he just smiled and explained:
"Young man, you may not know this, but this is just how our culture is here."
"A good bull is like a fine horse, worth this price! Some even cost tens of thousands! Of course, if you win the race, the prize money will be much more than this!"
Xie Huaiye didn't speak, he just looked at Yan Ning.
Yan Ning's competitive spirit kicked in, coupled with her genuine curiosity, and she waved her little hand:
"Okay! I'll buy it!"
She paid the money readily.
Then, she held the small earthenware jar.
Like a young general about to go to battle, he walked to the edge of the large vat.
The burly men around saw a delicate-looking young girl approaching with crickets.
They couldn't help but burst into laughter.
A burly man named Gesang, a victorious general here, said in a loud voice:
"Little girl, this is not a place for playing house!"
"You little rascal, don't let my great general beat you to a pulp in a bit, then don't cry! Hahahaha!"
Provoked by him, Yan Ning became even more energetic, raising her chin:
"Hmph! Don't be so sure! Let's see what you're made of! Who wants to fight me first?"
Yan Ning held her Black Whirlwind and stood in front of the bullfighting vat.
She took a deep breath, her eyes full of eagerness.
The first to step forward to challenge him was a lean man nicknamed Skinny Monkey.
The cricket he released was long and thin, and it was called Quick Knife.
"The match begins!"
The two crickets just touched each other.
Quick-handed, he swiftly circled to the side, his movements incredibly fast, attempting a sneak attack.
Black Whirlwind seemed not to have reacted, and spun around in a daze.
"Hey! Quick Knife! Let's teach it a lesson!" Skinny Monkey shouted triumphantly.
Sun Wuji stamped his feet anxiously, "It's over! It's over! Three thousand yuan is going down the drain! This big oaf can't keep up!"
Just as Quick Knife accelerated and pounced again.
The black whirlwind suddenly moved!
Unlike its opponent, it didn't rely on speed; instead, it suddenly sidestepped.
Using his stronger physique, he rammed straight into it like a small tank!
A soft "bang!" was heard.
Quick Knife was knocked over and flipped over, landing on his back with all six legs in the air, unable to get right for a long time.
Wow, that's amazing!
A gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd.
"Miss Yan Ning wins the first round!" the boss announced.
Yan Ning breathed a sigh of relief and gave Xie Huaiye and Sun Wuji a triumphant "V" sign.
