Rest Time

Near the Digital Egg house, the group reunited.

Qian Lai arrived last, but seeing A Lie's 'miserable' state of being unable to get up, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.

"Yo~ Your captain got beat up too?"

The two teams were rivals on the show, and Qian Lai had already personally experienced the trouble brought by fatigue.

A Lie's situation was clearly even more serious.

"Excuse me, sorry to interrupt."

The props team pushed each other until a young girl was pushed out to announce Liang Xing's notice.

It was obvious that Liang Xing's preparation was insufficient, or rather, he didn't know anything about the filming process of the show itself.

The entire staff of the show only consisted of the camera crew and the props team, with Liang Xing coordinating the overall situation.

Now that Liang Xing had gone to arrange the subsequent plot of Impmon, the work of conveying the next direction of the show could only be temporarily taken over by the staff.

This girl from the props team was the face of their group, and she was usually eloquent, so she was naturally pushed out by her colleagues.

"The first stage of the mission is considered completed by everyone. Wang Lie's team gets 3 points for killing 3 Goblinmon, and Qian Lai's team gets 2 points for blocking 2."

Everyone looked at her, but she was still quite steady and spoke clearly.

"Next is the free mission time. The program team has prepared ingredients for everyone in the village. It's best if you can prepare dinner and a place to rest in advance."

"That's it, thank you!"

After speaking, she ran away in a puff of smoke.

"Then do we still get points for defeating Goblinmon now?"

"Only killing them counts for points." A staff member nearby responded.

"Okay~ Got it."

It was at this time that Qian Lai learned that A Lie's team had killed 3 Goblinmon.

As for why blocking and killing were worth the same points, he really hadn't considered it.

Maybe it was a rule of the show?

He would never have thought that his team's score was purely because those two Goblinmon no longer existed.

One died and one evolved, and Liang Xing counted the points on their team to avoid the score difference between the two teams being too large.

"Qi Tian! How did you guys win? Spill the beans."

Qian Lai had rations, and the room he found earlier met the conditions for resting at night, so he thought about gathering some information first.

He had just fought with the Goblinmon, and if it weren't for Elecmon as the main force, his team wouldn't have been able to stop the Goblinmon's invasion.

But if A Lie's team also had Elecmon as the main force, the timing wouldn't add up.

Then there was only one truth!

That was that A Lie's team had mastered the method of evolution!

"My Koromon evolved! It's Agumon!"

Qi Tian and Qian Lai were considered friends, so the little guy didn't have any intention of keeping it a secret, and proudly showed off.

"Wow—amazing! How did it evolve?" Qian Lai also cooperated, giving a thumbs up and praising.

"Uncle Qian! Are you trying to trick a kid?" Ning Jing pulled Qi Tian back.

Although the secret of Digital Monsters evolving through the Digivice was easy to discover, Ning Jing wasn't really sure how to operate it specifically.

Qian Lai had also seen Kurokyumon evolve into Koromon, but what was the use of not knowing the principle?

He couldn't just shout like Qi Tian did back then, could he?

Qian Lai had tried it, and it didn't work at all!

"Hmph!"

Qi Tian nodded to Ning Jing, looking like he knew what he was doing.

Then he looked at Qian Lai with a smug look: "I don't know either!"

Even without Ning Jing's reminder, Qi Tian wouldn't be 'fooled', so the little guy was naturally proud.

"Then tell me about the situation at that time."

In a competition like this, it was normal to keep secrets.

So Qian Lai changed the subject and became curious about the situation at that time.

After all, they were still kids, and Qi Tian and Ning Jing didn't think much about it. The former began to brag about Agumon's rampage, while the latter was wondering if sleeping on the ground would make them catch a cold.

Lian Jin didn't continue to persevere after the battle. The little guy was experiencing this feeling of being exhausted for the first time.

In other words, the only ones in A Lie's team who could still move freely were Qi Tian and Ning Jing, which was why Ning Jing would stop Qi Tian.

But unfortunately, Qian Lai still got the information he wanted.

Although Qi Tian exaggerated his role, judging from the injuries of A Lie and Lian Jin, the general situation could be reconstructed.

Combining that with the scene of Kurokyumon evolving into Koromon the first time, Qian Lai could basically conclude that it was likely related to emotions.

"Awesome! Thanks!

Oh yeah~ Sorry to bother you, but you'll have to find a new room. You can hand A Lie and the others over to the staff."

Before leaving, Qian Lai reminded the two little ones.

Their original room had been destroyed, and if they waited for A Lie to wake up before looking, their team might go hungry that night.

"What do we do?" Watching Qian Lai's team leave, Ning Jing turned to look at Qi Tian.

"You take care of Lian Jin and Uncle A Lie, I'll go find Elecmon."

Children's thoughts might not be as complex as adults', but they also don't have as many preconceived notions.

So Qi Tian had a flash of inspiration, thinking about finding Elecmon to gather some information.

"Elecmon!"

When the little guy, with Koromon, found Elecmon, it was counting the Digital Eggs.

"Thank you for helping us defeat the Goblinmon. On behalf of everyone in Qidian Village, I thank you," Elecmon said, jumping down and expressing its gratitude solemnly.

"Hehehe~ It was nothing!" Qi Tian said, scratching the back of his head with a silly smile, and directly asked, "My companion is injured. Which room do you think is suitable for us to rest in?"

"Follow me!"

Under normal circumstances, Elecmon couldn't possibly see all the props team placing the food and other daily necessities.

But Liang Xing believed that Elecmon, guarding Qidian Village alone, should be very familiar with the village's terrain.

Elecmon had to know the general location of props like food and daily necessities, which should have already existed.

The specific implementation was actually very simple: show Elecmon the locations to be set up in advance, and the props team would operate according to the map. As for how much Elecmon could remember, that wasn't their concern.

Fortunately, Elecmon had a good memory and quickly led Qi Tian to a suitable room.

It had electricity, beds, food, and wasn't far from the Digital Egg house.

Elecmon also had its own little thoughts: in case the Goblinmon attacked again, support could arrive a little faster.

Then came the transfer of the 'injured'.

Lian Jin could already walk on his own. Although he was weak, he could still take care of himself.

As for A Lie, he was sleeping soundly, and Qi Tian and Ning Jing really couldn't carry him.

"Why don't… you just leave him for now?"

Fatigue was originally a punishment, and if there was a reasonable excuse, the staff could lend a hand.

For example, using Elecmon as an excuse.

When the show was officially broadcast, they could cut out the scene of the staff helping, creating the illusion that the Digital Monsters and the little ones were working together, which was still reasonable.

Liang Xing was very strict about these details, ensuring that the finished product after editing was indistinguishable from reality.

Even if everyone knew that the Digital World didn't exist, the realistic interactions would definitely make many people suspicious.

That's what Liang Xing wanted to achieve.

In case real Digital Monsters were born in the future, it would be a way to prepare everyone in advance.

Thanks to Ye Zifeng for the reward! Thank you for your support!
