I really don't want to be famous, but the collapse is still chasing me

"Zao Shanghao, what about you?"

A whistling sound, like a clip being clipped, came from behind Su Chen.

Su Chen didn't turn his head and immediately quickened his pace.

"I didn't hear anything! I didn't hear anything!"

"Hey, Mr. Su Chen, it's me!" The voice from behind grew more urgent, and the footsteps quickened accordingly.

"I didn't hear it! I didn't hear it!" Su Chen said as he started running at top speed.

"Wait a minute!"

During the conversation, the firework began to twist and darkly crawl rapidly towards Su Chen.

"Stop!" Hanabi finally crawled up to Su Chen. "Don't run away anymore!"

Hua Huo, panting heavily, clung tightly to Su Chen's trouser leg.

"Damn it! Forget it, Director Hua, I'm very busy."

"Boss, I heard you're assembling a team for the competition. Do you need a gentle, cute, and easy-going director?"

Su Chen glanced down at Hanabi and said, "No need, bye."

"No, no, no! Letting me join your team would be like adding wings to a tiger, right? Please, let me join!"

"No, I'm afraid the audience will beat me to death." Su Chen's steps were firm, as if he had made up his mind.

"Are you sure?" Hanabi stopped pleading. "Don't you want to know about Ryuhoshi's team composition?"

Upon hearing Hanabi's explanation, Su Chen froze on the spot. "Ahem... But then again, my team only has me right now. A team's maximum is four people, so... you know, we still need to find more people before the competition starts."

"Hehe. I, Lord Hanabi, have a way! First, we need a henchman!"

"Thugs?" Su Chen stroked his chin. "Yellow Springs? Flying Sky? Mirror Stream?"

"How could they possibly have time?" Hanabi pulled out her phone. "Bai E doesn't have a team yet. If we could get him to join us, that would be... hey hey hey!"

Su Chen grabbed Hua Huo's hand and started running. "Don't worry, I'm his older brother, he'll definitely give me face!"

……

Not long after.

Su Chen, carrying the fireworks, had already arrived in front of Bai E.

Bai E, dressed in his favorite yellow and purple suit, smiled and said, "Big brother, and Director Hua, are you two hungry? Would you like some fried rice with eggs?"

Su Chen looked at Bai E in disbelief: "Forget about the food, Third Brother, no offense, but aren't you afraid Aglaia will kill you dressed like that?"

"It's alright, she's been busy lately." Bai E pulled out a chair and sat down in front of Su Chen. "Brother, I probably can't help you with the team-up thing."

"Why?!"

"Because I also want to participate in the competition, and I also have my own wishes that I want to fulfill."

"Pfft—" Hanabi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Su Chen turned to look at Hua Huo. "If you laugh again, I'll dye your fur white!"

"Pfft—sorry, sorry..." Hanabi quickly covered her mouth, "I'm his older brother, he'll definitely give me that face!"

Su Chen clenched his fists repeatedly: "You..."

"Big brother," Bai E interrupted Su Chen, "Actually, I'm not free, but there are still many people who are free."

"for example?"

"Ten thousand enemies".

Su Chen suddenly realized, "Oh! I understand, you want to compete against him on the field?"

"That's different. I just think it would be a shame if he didn't participate in such an interesting competition."

-

soon.

Su Chen arrived at Wan Di's apartment again.

"Su Chen, and Miss Hua Huo, are you hungry? Would you like me to make you a dessert?"

Su Chen blinked and looked at Hanabi beside him. "Where have I seen this plot before?"

Hanabi shrugged.

"I don't understand the unspoken understanding between men, but Wan Di? Do you want to join us?"

Wan Di looked at Su Chen and Hua Huo, "Actually, I want to take this opportunity to rest properly, since I've basically finished all my scenes anyway."

"Sigh... alright then, we'll have to go find someone else." Hanabi sighed softly, winking at Su Chen. "Boss, who do you think we should go find later?"

Su Chen immediately understood, and stroked his chin: "How about we go find Bai E?"

"No way, he's going to participate in this competition."

"Wait a minute?" Wan Di frowned slightly. "Bai E is going to participate in the competition?"

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Hanabi asked, feigning surprise. "Didn't you know he was participating in the competition, and he didn't try to recruit you into his team?"

Su Chen nodded solemnly from the side: "Yes, yes, Bai E's team seems to be full. Wan Di, you seem to have been forgotten?"

“HKS!” Wan Di let out a deep breath. “Since that idiot wants to participate, then I want to participate too!”

Upon hearing this reply, Hanabi and Su Chen raised their eyebrows at each other and smiled.

"By the way, how many people are there in our team now?" Wan Di asked.

Su Chen replied, "Currently there are three: me, you, and Huahuo. We're one person short."

Who's missing?

"My goal is to find another strategist. Hey? How's Teacher Xia doing?"

Hanabi interjected, "It's definitely not going to work. He also participated in the competition. Don't ask why, just know that Aglaia also participated."

"Uh..." Su Chen's face darkened. "Let me think... Jing Yuan is busy, Dan Heng is participating in a competition, Lao Yang is developing a game, so who else is there?"

Hanabi blinked frantically at Su Chen, "It's obvious that I'm an intelligent character."

"Okay, I'll tell you three things. If you can remember them, I'll admit you're intelligent, alright?"

"Sure, nothing is too difficult for Director Hua."

"Listen carefully, ball, flag, tree. Remember these, I'll ask you about them later."

"Okay."

What is 1000 minus 7?

"993."

"Reduce it again."

"986."

"Reduce it again."

"979."

"Subtract further..."

"972..."

"..."

Wan Di, who was standing to the side, listened to the question and began to do mental calculations.

So, does knowing a few arithmetic problems really qualify as intelligence?

Isn't this too frivolous?

Su Chen suddenly stopped them, "Do you remember those three things from earlier?"

Hanabi blinked, "It seems like there's someone eating, right?"

"Sigh..." Su Chen patted Huahuo on the shoulder, "Let's practice some more. Let's go find the last person."

……

a long time.

Su Chen, Hanabi, and Wan Di sat in Himeko's coffee shop in despair.

Almost no one else has as much free time as the three of them.

Either I have something to do, or I have to participate in a competition.

In the end, they couldn't even find a fourth person, let alone a strategist.

Su Chen slapped his forehead. "Is that the only way out?"

Hanabi's expression turned grave. "It seems this is the only way."

"But... is it really okay for Scott to join our team? I feel like you should just call Hook instead," Wan Di couldn't help but complain.

"There's nothing we can do, there's no one here."

however.

at this time.

The wind chimes outside the coffee shop rang.

A figure they hadn't seen in a long time appeared before the three of them.

"I've only been gone for a year, how come Interactive City has changed so much?"

Su Chen looked towards the door, following the direction of the sound.

She could no longer suppress the urge to smile.

"It's you? Little Black Tower!"
