Everyone fell silent. Quite a few people panicked. Missing out on the reward was no big deal, but they absolutely couldn't let the manure-shoveling job fall on their heads!
Black Glasses sneered and issued an imperial decree:
"Manure-shoveling is suspended this week. The reward will accumulate until next week! The first-place team next week will receive 200,000 points directly! If you still can't complete Remote Recovery next week, the points won't accumulate again. They'll be cleared out entirely!"

"Keep dreaming!" Xie Yuanxun glanced sideways at him and
