0713: You who shine in the parallel world

On the surface, it was an alliance, but in reality, Su Xing was using his own methods to get Yu Yu's suspension lifted "openly and legitimately." The guys were joking that Su Xing was too cunning and even thought of bringing in outside help, but in fact, they were just using this method to fool Yu Yu into participating in the game by skirting the rules.

Just like Brother Sheng said, let the kids play.

However, Yu Yu was, after all, an "outsider," and Su Xing did not intend to let Yu Yu play in every game.

Seeing that he and Land Rover Wang Zhengliang were in the second group and would only go on stage after the other three had finished, he immediately adjusted the order of their performance with Yu Yu.

After Chen Chusheng, Wang Yuexin, and Zhang Yuan demonstrated, he roughly knew what to do. Stepping on the squares of his own color was secondary; the most important thing was to avoid the red squares. You should know that stepping on the right square only earns one point, but stepping on the wrong square deducts five points.

He planned to go on the field first to familiarize himself with the game and understand the patterns. In the second round, when Yu Yu went on the field, he could rest and conserve his energy. If he fell behind in the first round, Yu Yu could still score points in the second round to make up for it.

Once he enters the third round of the finals, having had a bye in the second round and a chance to rest, he will face two other players who have already played two rounds. Winning will be a piece of cake for him.

Wang Yuexin listened to Su Xing's troop deployment from the side, and for some reason, she couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

He gripped Su Xing's shoulder with one hand and used the other to slightly conceal the upturned corners of his mouth: "Young Su, you've thought things through very thoroughly, but despite all your scheming, you seem to have overlooked one issue."

"What are your thoughts, Mr. Wang?" Su Xing raised an eyebrow.

"It's true that Yu Shao is physically gifted and has excellent athletic ability, but this game seems to test the flexibility, coordination, and reaction speed of the limbs. As we all know, Yu Shao's dancing skills are on par with Sheng Ge's."

Su Xing: ?!

He glanced at Yu Yu, who blinked innocently.

He glanced at Wang Yuexin again, who was grinning smugly, waiting for him to fall from grace despite his elaborate schemes.

The first round of the competition is about to begin. Wang Yuexin left Su Xing, whose pupils were in shock, and went to the grid.

After he left, Yu Yu said earnestly to Su Xing, "My dancing skills have improved a lot recently."

However, Su Xing was too familiar with Yu Yu's wicked intentions and perverse sense of humor beneath her serious demeanor, and Yu Yu's "radio gymnastics" was quite "standard," capable of representing primary and secondary school students in radio gymnastics competitions alongside Chen Chusheng.

Seeing that Su Xing was somewhat skeptical, Yu Yu added, "After all, I sang and danced in the first performance, and I'll be doing it again in the second."

That's true. Su Xing remembered that Yu Yu had mentioned that his first stage after starting his own business was singing and dancing. Of course, he didn't gossip with his brothers about why he chose singing and dancing, so he just assumed that Yu Yu had finally figured it out or was preparing for his world tour.

Considering the players' physical condition, each group only had two minutes for each round of the checkerboard game. Soon after, the first group, who had set an example for everyone, finished their game, and the second group took their turn.

Land Rover isn't exactly a singing and dancing expert; his movements aren't fast, and he missed quite a few squares. However, he excels in precision. Being cautious, he won't step on a square unless he's sure of success, so his score is steadily rising.

Although Wang Zhengliang is the oldest among them, he has been exercising recently, so his reaction speed is quite fast. Although he stepped on some red squares incorrectly, he quickly made up for it by using squares of his own color.

As for Su Xing, don't be fooled by his recent slackness. He used to be an all-around ACE in singing and dancing, and his dancing skills are still there. He hasn't fallen too far behind.

His eyesight is a bit poor. His own purple and Wang Zhengliang's pink plaid are too similar, and since his support color is pink, he subconsciously thinks that pink belongs to him, so he "helped" Wang Zhengliang step on a lot of plaids.

Chen Chusheng couldn't help but complain, "Is he colorblind?"

"He probably wanted to make the second round more difficult for me." Yu Yu watched from the side, feeling both amused and exasperated.

In the second round, the safe zone changed from the four sides to a line in the middle, and the red ocean on the left and right sides would switch back and forth according to a certain pattern. The colored square you liked a second ago might turn red the next second.

After Yu Yu entered the arena, he did not move around casually. He simply stayed obediently in the middle green area, occasionally stretching out his long legs to step on the purple squares belonging to Su Xing.

He might seem like he's just coasting along, but that's actually the safest approach. If he jumped into a square like Zhang Yuan from the first group and it turned into a sea of ​​red the next second, then it would be a huge loss.

With Zhang Yuan's disastrous decision to dive headfirst into the penalty area serving as a cautionary tale, Yu Yu, Wang Zhengliang, and Lu Hu were quite conservative, standing obediently in the middle.

Of course, this state didn't last long. Soon, they discovered that the red ocean was changing its frequency and they were starting a little train in the green zone in the middle. The three singer-songwriters even started clapping along to the rhythm. However, because the red ocean was changing faster in the later stages, their rhythm also became faster and faster. From 1.5X to 2.5X, the melody sounded like it had been distorted by post-production.

Mistakes are inevitable at this point; it all depends on the final score tally.

Yu Yu stepped down from the grid, and the total score ranking had already appeared on the screen. The top three were Chen Chusheng, Su Xing, and Lu Hu.

Su Xing immediately gave Yu Yu a high five and praised him generously for his recent trip to Pi Ge, saying it was very successful and that his dancing skills had improved significantly.

Land Rover was surprised by the result; who would have thought that the least athletic person on the field could make it to the finals?

“Tiger, the guy standing next to you is Champion, Tiger!” Zhang Yuan said to Land Rover.

"I never imagined that one day I would be able to reach the finals with the champion and runner-up!" Land Rover looked at Zhang Yuan with a sense of "flattery and surprise".

"Come on, Tiger! Even if you don't perform well, you'll still be in the top three." Wang Zhengliang cheered for Land Rover.

Su Xing looked at Chen Chusheng.

Before he could say anything, Yu Yu, who was holding a cup of tea on the sidelines, sighed, "It's over, we're about to start the same thing that happened sixteen years ago."

Su Xing didn't say anything.

Yu Yu: ? Hey, you better make up that prelude!

Wang Yuexin, however, had a lot of confidence in Chen Chusheng, or rather, Su Xing: "It's okay, even if he doesn't say anything, he still can't beat Brother Sheng, hahaha!"

Su Xing did not win; to be precise, neither he nor Chen Chusheng won. The winner was Land Rover.

In the final round, only red squares will be displayed on the grid screen, and they need to avoid the red squares as much as possible. Stepping on a red square will eliminate them, and the last one eliminated will automatically win.

Land Rover felt that it was already incredible that he could reach the final and stand shoulder to shoulder with the champion and runner-up, but he never expected that he would not only reach the final, but also stand to the end and win!

He strode confidently toward the drawer containing the winner's spoils and pulled out his friend card.

“Actually, Tiger is quite talented,” Yu Yu said with some admiration. “Like when we played football in Sheng’s hometown, Tiger showed his goal-scoring instincts on his first time playing football. So in sports, Tiger, you must be a lucky opportunist.”

Land Rover was initially feeling a bit smug listening to Yu Yu's serious analysis and praise. He was about to say a few humble words when the kid suddenly changed the subject: "So I suggest that when we need to go on an adventure, we can have Tiger lead the way. It might have a miraculous effect."

"?! No, no, no, no, this kind of thing should be done by you professionals." Land Rover shook his head vigorously.

"Hey Tiger, I think that makes sense. You always seem to have some special luck. Maybe if you lead the way, you can find the key item or the right path instantly." Zhang Yuan laughed, enjoying the spectacle.

"No, I can't unless you come with me, Yuanyuan."

“But Yu Yu said that I’m not the one with talent.”

Yu Yu: "Is there really such a good thing? Can I just tell you? I can tell you, I can tell you about Brother Liang."

Zhang Xiaoniao Wang Xiaoneng: "Shut up!" x2

While the seven were playing around and making fun of the game, the clown teacher returned to the staff break room. He took off his mask and handed the stun gun prop to the masked villain teacher whose weapon had been stolen by Yu Yu at the beginning. He also teased him, saying that it was a real failure for an NPC to have his prop stolen by a player.

The masked villainous teacher rolled his eyes: "Didn't you get pinched by a clam?"

The clown teacher didn't take it seriously: "That was for the sake of the show's plot, okay? I did it on purpose."

Just then, a staff member carrying a walkie-talkie and wearing a name tag walked in. She had overheard their conversation at the door and immediately interrupted their pointless argument: "Alright, put the props in this box. They've already headed to the puppet area. The clown needs to start preparing for the next scene."

The clown teacher nodded: "Okay, they're moving pretty fast. Why did it take so long to record last time?"

The masked villain teacher knew the answer to this question: "Because the last one was a horror scenario, and the nursing home scenario isn't mildly scary. Apart from Su Xing and Yu Yu, it's difficult for the others to run rampant in a horror scenario."

"Tsk, if only I had been chosen as a nurse last time, I could have chased them down with weapons." The clown teacher sighed.

The girl wearing the name tag smiled enigmatically, as if she had just thought of something: "Then you're wrong. You might very well be chased and attacked by Teacher Yu."

"...beyond the scope of the curriculum."

The clown teacher muttered a complaint, then reached into his pockets to throw his stun gun into the prop box, only to find both pockets empty after searching for a while.

Seeing him standing there awkwardly, the masked villainous teacher immediately realized what was happening and mocked, "Did you intentionally lose your props too? Hahaha, it's quite a failure for an NPC to lose their own props!"

The clown teacher was furious: "How could it be lost? I know where I put it. It should be on the sofa in the living room on the second floor. It must have fallen to the ground when I was attacked by Wang Yuexin and Yu Yuhebang. Maybe it rolled under the sofa. I'll go get it in a bit."

The seven old Beibeis in the secret room were unaware of what was happening behind the scenes. They had already arrived at the next intellectual challenge room and were trying to translate the dense text on the rules into something they could understand.
