In an American comic book world, you start with a horse charm.

The red light only stayed on for a short while before Miller pressed the button again.

At this point, most of the challengers learned their lesson and stopped running, opting instead for race walking. This allowed them to stop in time without getting tired from standing still for too long. However, Jack did not choose this method.

Because of his excellent eyesight, he discovered a bug in the game: the host, Dr. Miller, would always observe the person in front before pressing the button. Although this time was short, it was enough for him to adjust his posture.

Jack shared his discovery with Olay, who gradually gained confidence in succeeding.

The fastest person has already eliminated 200 people before even completing one-tenth of the journey. Olay doubts that many people will be able to pass the first level in the end, even though the game is not that complicated.

To O'Lee's surprise, because the first two operations eliminated a large number of challengers, the remaining challengers learned their lesson and the number of eliminated challengers began to decrease significantly. On several occasions, not a single challenger was eliminated.

Having mastered the trick, Jack quickly became the person in the lead and had already completed half the journey.

At this point, the last challenger was still near the starting line.

Miller, curious, went over to ask the final challenger a question and took out a microphone to let him share his thoughts with the other challengers.

"I think the clothes are very nice, and I don't want to get them wet. By the way, Dr. Miller, will you be giving these clothes to me?"

"Of course, I'm glad you like this outfit." What else could Miller say but encourage him? Then he pressed the button, the green light came on again, and the man remained in place, though he did stretch his body a little.

The green light seemed to last a bit longer this time. After glancing at the countdown timers on both sides, Jack suddenly realized that there were only ten minutes left.

Many people seized the opportunity and started running, so the red light came on again.

The fastest runner couldn't brake in time and fell to the ground. Luckily, the floor was specially designed so it wouldn't hurt too much.

Riding a balance bike and carrying a small gun and microphone, Miller began to weave through the still crowd, and images of watching time-freezing movies from his past life suddenly flashed through his mind.

During this time, Miller constantly provoked these challengers with his words. Although it wasn't obvious on the surface, Miller was overjoyed to see his reputation points soaring in the system.

Leaving the crowd and reaching the finish line, Miller looked at the challengers staring intently at him and the countdown, took out the microphone, and announced, "The final minute countdown will end with no more red lights. Are you all ready?"

"Ready!"

Hearing the synchronized sounds, Miller smiled with satisfaction, pressed the button in his hand, and the green light turned on.

The challengers charged toward Miller, the finish line, like wild horses unleashed.

Upon realizing there wasn't enough buffer distance, Miller understood that their speed would cause an accident and quickly arranged for nearby staff to come forward to assist them.

The first person to reach the finish line appeared quickly, followed by the second and the third... When the time came to the last ten seconds, Miller, the staff, and some of those who had reached the finish line began to count down.

"Ten"

"Nine"

"eight"

"seven"

"six"

"five"

"Four"

"three"

"two"

"one"

The countdown stopped, and the red light came on. Miller waved to the dejected challengers standing at the finish line, signaling for staff to lead them away.

The 527 challengers who passed the first level were then taken to the second room.

"Passing the first level will earn you a thousand dollars, so challengers, will you choose to take the thousand dollars or continue to challenge for the final million-dollar prize?" Miller addressed the crowd in the room.

At this point, a challenger asked, "Dr. Miller, if I fail the second challenge, will I still be able to take the thousand dollars?"

"Of course not."

Soon, various discussions arose regarding the bottom line.

Miller stopped them from continuing the discussion, took out the microphone, and said, "Challengers who are giving up now, please come forward and line up in front of me."

Soon the challenger who had asked if he could take the money stood in front of Miller. Miller took the thousand dollars from the staff and handed it to him, indicating that he could leave.

"Are there any other conditions? I can leave now?"

"certainly."

"I'll come again next time!"

"In principle, we won't invite duplicate challengers to participate in the game, but who knows?"

Seeing that they could actually get the money, a long queue immediately appeared in front of Miller.

Jack looked at his still-breathing companion beside him. "Aren't you going to join the line?"

Ole waved, "Brother, I won't give up easily."

Jack patted him on the shoulder.

After sending away the challengers who had given up early, Miller began to explain the content of the second challenge to the remaining 418 challengers.

"The second challenge is called 'Cookie Master,' and we will distribute random cookie boxes to everyone."

All you need to do is completely cut out the pattern from the cookie to pass. You have 30 minutes. Anyone who runs out of time or damages the pattern fails. Understand?

"I heard you clearly."

Soon, staff began distributing cookie boxes and tools to the challengers, reminding them that they could only open them once the countdown began.

Once everyone had received their cookie boxes and tools, the countdown officially began.

Jack looked at the round cookie in his hand and the small needle in his hand, feeling a slight headache, but then he looked at the umbrella next to him and suddenly felt that his round shape was acceptable.

There's an old saying that goes, "The best way to heal from misfortune is to see people who are more unfortunate than you."

Looking at the umbrella in his hand, Olay felt he should have left earlier and complained to Jack, but seeing the other challengers gradually starting to move, he accepted reality and began to move as well.

Jack picked up the cookie in his hand and tentatively poked it with the small needle in his hand. He found that it was okay, he could poke it, but it was only a little bit useful.

It seems to be a real test of patience. Jack observed the people around him and found that some people were using their hands to break it, some were using their fingernails to rub it, and some were using their teeth to bite it, but very few people were honestly using a small needle to poke it.

Jack couldn't think of any other way, so he followed suit and bit off the cookie around the pattern little by little, then used his teeth to grind it bit by bit. Soon he had roughly made out the shape, and finally he used a small needle to fix it, and the cookie shape was complete.

After confirming that everything was correct, Jack glanced at O'Reilly beside him and noticed that he was still trying.
