In this game, both sides can see each other's stats.
Lin Xi had previously checked Su Mian's side; their economy and equipment were both at 0.
He was still lamenting that this victory had been too easy.
But when we looked again a minute later, they had actually caught up with us in no time!
Lin Xi curled her lips into a smile, "This is a worthy opponent who can truly rival me."
Soon, the two sides finally met at the summit.
[Although we fought fiercely just now, Mianmian's team's equipment is still slightly inferior to Lin Xi's team's! Waaaaah, I think it's going to be tough!]
[Yeah, besides, Tyrant Bro is just a mascot who doesn't join the battle, while Lin Xi has countless fearsome bots on her side!]
[We can't lose! It's about our bloodline and our dignity!]
Even Lin Xi herself thought so.
Even though Su Mian developed a bit later on, there was still a significant gap between the two sides.
He curled his lips into a smirk, added a game effect, and mocked his opponent.
However, in his eyes, Su Mian and the others were just dressed as normal players.
But in Su Mian's and the other two's eyes, Lin Xi and the others all had a small mustache growing on their philtrum!
The highly sarcastic special effect from before was, in Su Mian and the others' eyes, interpreted as Lin Xi and his two companions lewdly calling out, "Pretty girl~"
How can we tolerate this?
Su Mian rushed over without thinking and started hitting his head!
Once he starts punching, he goes all out, loses himself, and becomes reckless!
Soon, a large "game over" message popped up on the screen.
Yin Xiaohong's voice came through. "Game over, Su Mian's team is the winner!"
[They weren't necessarily going to win, but that taunting effect at the end was practically a buff for the Mianmian team!]
[This is so exciting! So good! I'm still getting excited!]
The hashtag # Su Mian # is trending rapidly.
Lin Xi was stunned for a long time.
He was just admiring his own special effects, and then before the effects even finished, his own special effects were gone?
No! He didn't believe it!
He quickly went to check the big screen.
That's when I realized that Su Mian had modified their character appearances!
The handle in Lin Xi's hand fell to the ground with a thud.
He slumped onto the sofa, muttering to himself, "So that's how it is. I lost again. Hah, I lost again..."
[It's over, the child has lost their mind from gambling...]
Yin Xiaohong: "Next, the winning team will send one representative to ask each of the three guests in the losing team a question. If they can't answer, they will have to pay for all the winning team's date expenses!"
The winning team unanimously nominated Su Mian to go out and ask.
Su Mian first asked Huang Han, "Which book is 'My Master is Too Cold, Three Thousand Disciples Dote on Me'?"
Huang Han rolled his eyes. "How could there possibly be such a masterpiece?"
Su Mian: "It's the Analects."
Huang Han: "..."
Upon hearing this question, Lin Xi immediately sat up straight.
His competitive spirit flared up again, and he raised an eyebrow at Su Mian defiantly. "Let me tell you, I've seen these old tropes before. I know 'There's Always a Villain Trying to Steal My Master' is from 'Journey to the Journey to the West,' 'I Accidentally Seduce My Cousin While Visiting Home' is from ' Dream of the Red Chamber,' and 'The Untold Stories of 105 Men and 3 Women' is from ' Water Margin '... Anyway, I know everything. You can't possibly test me!"
Su Mian replied expressionlessly, "Who wants to ask you these questions?"
Lin Xi raised an eyebrow. "Hmm? You have a new joke?"
Su Mian: "Who wrote the Analects?"
Lin Xi was taken aback... such a simple question?
Is Su Mian deliberately going easy on him?
Lin Xi looked at Su Mian with a scrutinizing gaze.
Could she have already fallen in love with him? That's why she deliberately gave him such an easy question?
Lin Xi smiled slightly.
Indeed, women are more likely to fall in love with their nemesis than with a man who is completely devoted to her.
Su Mian looked at him like he was an idiot. "What are you imagining? You're grinning like that! Just tell me the answer, okay?"
Lin Xi suppressed her smile and replied seriously, "Of course it was written by Confucius."
Su Mian: "No, it was compiled and recorded by Confucius's disciples and their disciples. Many of the ideas in it were not said by Confucius. For example, 'Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are determined by Heaven' was said by Confucius's disciple Zixia."
[You wouldn't believe it! My sister is really talented, besides her abstract art!]
I love saying "Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are determined by fate" the most, but I didn't know it was actually said by Zixia!
[I told you you could learn something from playing on your phone! The teacher never mentioned this!]
Lin Xi realized what was going on after being reminded like that.
He wanted to explain that he had gone abroad to study at a young age and was unfamiliar with Chinese culture.
But to be stubborn about this is like being a sore loser.
He simply offered no explanation, and coldly snorted, "Fine, I'll pay the bill!"
Next up is Fang Nuonuo.
Su Mian: "Then I'll continue focusing on the Analects..."
Fang Nuonuo smiled, already prepared.
Su Mian has really bitten off more than she can chew this time.
She participated in a Chinese classics society during her university years and specifically studied the sayings of Confucius and his students.
She has the ability and the confidence.
Su Mian knows, she must know even more!
She even hoped that Su Mian could come up with something more difficult.
That way, when I trend on social media for being "learned and knowledgeable," I'll be more convincing to the public!
Su Mian: "What were the names of Confucius's three thousand disciples?"
Fang Nuonuo's smile vanished abruptly, "... Who knows! Do you know?"
Su Mian: "I don't know, but the rules don't say I have to know the answer to the question I ask."
Yin Xiaohong nodded repeatedly, confirming that it was indeed true.
[ Mianmian is still too kind! She could have targeted only one person, but she took everyone's feelings into account!]
Isn't it because she doesn't let anyone who's crossed her get away with it?
[Fast forward to the date! I want to see the goddess and the top fan's sweet moments!]
Fang Nuonuo puffed out her cheeks, looking aggrieved. "I don't have much money left."
Huang Han was heartbroken and immediately said, "Don't worry, I'll cover all the expenses today! Don't use your so-called living fund, I'll pay for everything myself!"
Fang Nuonuo looked up, touched. "Thank you."
[As expected of the top-ranked player, so domineering!]
[Ahhh, is this the charm of older men? I'm totally shipping them!]
[Hopefully, the top-ranked fan will become a regular guest! The top-ranked fan and the goddess are the only truly sweet moments on this show!]
[We, the Cockroach Scallop CP, disagree!]
The production team agreed to Huang Han's request to cover everyone's expenses.
Today, all guests will still need to wear heart rate bracelets to record the frequency of their feelings for each other.
But the bracelet won't ring today.
After today's event concludes, we will announce the total number of times everyone's heart fluttered today.
Those who are most interested in a particular house will have priority in choosing it.
Su Mian immediately went to look for projects.
Since someone is paying the bill, she'll definitely choose to specifically see the animals that cost extra and participate in the paid activities.
The closest project is paying to feed bananas to gorillas.
Just as Su Mian was about to go over, Yin Xiaohong waved to her with a smile.
Su Mian ran over. "What's the good news, Sister Xiaohong?"
Yin Xiaohong stuffed a bottle and some small packets of wet wipes into her bag.
"They've got a new ad for you! Find an opportunity to casually mention it three times, and this time you'll get 60,000 in advertising revenue!"
Su Mian glanced down at the new product. "Does this have that effect? Is our program really that explicit?"
Yin Xiaohong: "Don't worry, as long as you don't mention that feature, the live stream won't be banned."
Su Mian gave an "OK" sign. "Wrapped."
