As soon as you enter the cave, a stone slab falls down with a "bang," sealing the entrance.

At the same time, an electronic voice broadcasted, "There's a red line in front of everyone's toes. Once someone crosses it, the game officially begins."

Everyone lowered their heads, and the little paper cranes, as if by telepathy, all landed on the ground, illuminating the red line.

<No time limit. Walk from the red line at the entrance to the green line at the exit to obtain the puppet. If the total points deducted in this round exceed 200, the production team will cancel dinners for the next three days.>

The crowd looked at each other, none of them daring to make a move.

But a stalemate couldn't go on forever. After hesitating for a while, Zhong Zheyi suggested, "The mission won't be easy. Let me scout ahead first. If there's no danger, then you can come over, okay?"

Song Yifei and the others nodded vigorously, afraid that he would change his mind.

Cheng Ai leaned closer to him, "I have more points, I'll go with you."

“Okay.” Zhong Zheyi’s eyes darkened slightly, a faint smile appeared on his lips, he took a deep breath and stepped across the red line.

The next second, a broadcast announced, "Game Start."

He took a step forward, stopped, and took another step when he didn't hear the prompt.

<Ding! 1 point deducted from Zhong Zheyi!>

He was so frightened that he quickly backed away, and was penalized another point.

"Brother Zheyi, don't move!" Song Yifei shouted anxiously.

"Two points deducted at once, don't force yourself if you can't handle it!" Cheng Baoni shouted anxiously.

Zhong Zheyi stood frozen in place, his heart pounding, at a loss for what to do.

Cheng Ai pursed her lips and tried to walk a few steps faster, but unsurprisingly, every step deducted points.

In just one minute, she lost 6 points.

Cheng Baoni stomped her foot angrily and growled, "You don't want to eat dinner? I do! Watch out!"

"If you're so great, why don't you go and do it yourself?" Song Yifei said sarcastically.

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Wu Xu quickly stepped in the middle. "When the points were being deducted, I think I saw a few flashes of red light. Ai, do you have a way to make them visible?"

Cheng Baoni disliked being interrupted. She glared at him fiercely and snorted, "Get lost, you old geezer. Now you want to offer advice? What were you doing in room 209?"

Wu Xu choked, feeling embarrassed, and retreated to the side, keeping his mouth shut.

Song Yifei finally snapped, "Respecting the elderly and caring for the young is a virtue. How could you be so rude to Grandpa Wu?"

"Oh! Always ready to stand up for the weak?" Cheng Baoni raised an eyebrow dismissively, sneering, "That's quite a nice way to put it. Old Man Wu is getting on in years, and it's usually Cheng Ai and Zhong Zheyi who take care of him. Why haven't I seen you doing anything about it?"

Song Yifei was furious, "You, you're slandering me!"

"So what?" Cheng Baoni shrugged, adopting a shameless attitude. "What are you going to do about it?"

Cheng Ai rubbed her temples, annoyed, and snapped, "Enough! Shut up!"

Once the cave was quiet again, she looked coldly at Cheng Baoni and said in a very harsh tone, "Have some decency for the child in your womb, and stop causing trouble."

With that, she gently waved her fan, and six small paper cranes rushed forward as if on command, their red light flashing wherever they went.

When they flew back, the area in front of everyone was filled with chaotic red laser lines, densely interwoven into a net, completely blocking the entire passage.

Moreover, the order of the laser lines keeps changing, from horizontal to vertical, and from vertical to diagonal, making them unpredictable and impossible to defend against.

Zhong Zheyi and Cheng Ai were penalized for touching the wrong surfaces repeatedly.

Song Yifei was stunned and muttered, "Are you kidding me? Unless you find the pattern, there's no way you can get past this!"

Hao Jian rolled his eyes, and suddenly an idea came to him. He hurriedly asked, "Sister Xiao Ai, if paper cranes can fly over so easily, can you turn us into paper cranes too?"

Cheng Baoni's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands excitedly, praising, "Darling, you're so clever! That's a brilliant idea!"

Immediately afterwards, she arrogantly raised her chin and shouted domineeringly, "Why are you standing there? Hurry up and cast the spell!"

Cheng Ai's lips twitched, and for the first time, she showed a shocked expression. "You guys think I'm a god? You really dare to think that way!"

"Useless!" Cheng Baoni rolled her eyes disdainfully, mocking, "If you can't do it, then why did you make the origami cranes fly back and forth just now? Were you trying to act all high and mighty?"

Cheng Ai's patience had long since run out after being subjected to her sharp tongue time and time again. She tucked the fan into her waistband, glanced at the corner of her eye, and the origami crane that had landed on Cheng Baoni's head suddenly began to burn.

Then, the hair also caught fire, and in just a moment, a fresh bald head was created.

A piercing scream echoed throughout the cave.

"Aaaaaah!" Cheng Baoni squatted on the ground, clutching her head in despair, wailing in agony, "No! My hair! My hair! Aaaaah!"

Cheng Ai snapped her fingers mischievously and grinned, "This is just a little warning for you. If you anger me again, it won't just be your hair that gets burned."

Song Yifei, having endured it for so long, finally couldn't hold back any longer and pointed at Cheng Baoni's head, bursting into wild laughter, "Hahaha... I've often heard people talk about bald girls... I've finally seen it with my own eyes today... Hahaha..."

She paused, then added, "Once the director starts the live stream... netizens will be able to see it... you might even trend on social media... hahaha..."

The laughter was highly contagious, and everyone else covered their mouths and chuckled, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Of course, this did not include the furious Cheng Baoni, who glared at Cheng Ai with eyes wide with rage, wishing she could pounce on her and tear her to pieces immediately.

However, her opponent was too strong, so she could only shrink into the corner and wail in frustration.

As his boyfriend, Hao Jian took off his coat and draped it over the bald head, but unfortunately it slipped off as soon as he put it down.

After several failed attempts, he chuckled and said, "Don't worry... pfft... your hair will grow back... pfft hahaha..."

Cheng Baoni cried even harder, wiping her tears and pounding his chest with her little fists, "It's one thing for others to laugh at me... but why are you laughing too, sob sob sob..."

Hao Jian silently looked away, coughed awkwardly to cover his embarrassment.

After the interlude, everyone's gaze fell upon the layers of laser lines, and their expressions gradually became serious.

"Why don't we try walking around first? If we're lucky, we might be able to complete the task before we lose all 192 points," Song Yifei suggested tentatively.

"No way!" Hao Jian refused decisively. "Everyone's points combined are only 23. If we listen to you, dinner is definitely out of the question."

Fearing some might object, he explained, "It's okay for us to skip a meal, but Bonnie has a baby in her belly and needs to eat to replenish her nutrition."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Baoni gently rubbed her bald head against his shoulder, "A-Jian, you're so good to me, I love you so much!"

Hao Jian's words made a lot of sense, but Song Yifei still caught a loophole: "Didn't you say you didn't want this child? Wouldn't it be better to have a miscarriage?"
