TAKING PART IN A SURVIVAL GAME WITH MY BROTHER - Season 1 Episode 63

Being stuck in the center of everyone caused the NPC to unintentionally hold his breath.

There was no such thing as the most embarrassing circumstance. Surely, there existed an even more uncomfortable situation.

At the pinnacle of his career, the NPC did not believe he was qualified to handle it.

Lu Yang stated, “Turn to page 3 and look at the twelfth line.”

“Lu Yang is here! She’s here with the answer!”

“I don’t care about that. Let me see what’s so special about the magazine!”

Wen Jian took the magazine from Lu Yang.

“Hurry up and turn to page three!” Qin Yitan urged.

Wen Jian flipped it open. The words were illegible as the paper was yellow. She frowned and skimmed it for a long time before reading. “There’s a quail that was late to the ball, so everyone calls him… night quail.”

At that instance, an awkward silence filled the scene and the live broadcast room.

“Is Lu Mingyu the author of this magazine?”

Lin Xinmeng was extremely puzzled and mused, “The system clearly said that Lu Yang already knew about mission 3, why did Wen Jian utter such a strange sentence?”

Afterward, Wen Jian smiled awkwardly. “I’m sorry. I’m short-sighted. I’m mistaken.”

Qin Yitan was stunned. He grabbed the magazine and exclaimed, “Let me see.”

Everyone’s expression kept altering from this change of events. The NPC stole a glance at Lu Yang and noticed that she was still sporting a relaxed expression.

This small incident did not affect her state of mind at all, and her mental resilience was excellent.

The words on the magazine page were not complete sentences. They were intermittent. Qin Yitan’s eyes narrowed into slits. He stammered, “A ditch and a small river? A small river and big river?”

Zhou Moli frowned. “If we reverse it, it should be a big river, a small river, a small river, and a ditch.”

An idea came to his mind, and he uttered with a hint of joy, “A big river is not satisfied with a small river, and a small river is not satisfied with a dry trench.”

“The first thing I thought of is song lyrics! The big river flows eastward. The stars in the sky flow to the big dipper!”

“Zhou Moli is pretty clever. When he was discussing clues with Lin Xinmeng, he mentioned whether 73 was related to mission 7. It turns out that it’s really related!”

This was clear to Lin Xinmeng, who was ecstatic. She seized the opportunity to show off.

“The flow of water in big rivers is small because of the driftsnow drought. Hence, the flow will generally be smaller for any small river. The same applies to the ditch.”

“What about mission 3?” Qin Yitan asked.

He felt that Lin Xinmeng might as well tell him what mission 3 was instead of talking nonsense.

Lin Xinmeng’s brows were initially raised in joy, but she quickly brought her brows down slightly. She turned to Lu Yang and asked, “Lu Yang, what does this have to do with mission 3?”

Lu Yang raised her eyes, and her gaze landed on Lu Mingyu. “Mingyu, what do you think?”

n a joyful tone, Lu Mingyu added, “Mission 7 is related to clues 3 and 7. Clue 7 involves seawater. Here, it’s about river water. Water was mentioned in both missions, so that might be the connection.”

Lu Yang raised her brows in approval.

Lu Mingyu’s words were like a key that unlocked the train of thought for Zhou Moli.

Zhou Moli muttered, “Nothing in the world is softer than water, yet nothing is better at overcoming the hard and strong. This is because nothing can alter it.”

“What are you talking about?” Wen Jian asked.

Zhou Moli explained, “The words on the cloth in mission 7. They’re from the Taoism Classics.”

Missions 7 and 3 were linked together, so there must be a connection.

“But there’s no water here?” Lin Xinmeng was puzzled.

Regarding this question, Zhou Moli looked at Lu Yang for an answer.

Lu Yang stated with a smile in her eyes, “Sea water takes up about 70%, and land takes up about 30%.”

“70% for sea water and 30% for land,” Zhou Moli mused.

Lu Yang’s words enlightened Zhou Moli.

Zhou Moli’s voice was a few semitones higher than usual. “Water vapor. It’s the temperature of the water vapor.”

“Hahahaha! I feel like Lu Yang is the commander in chief today, and the other guests are simply her aides.”

Qin Yitan was confused and yelled irritatedly, “Can you guys quit speculating? Just tell me what mission 3 is. It’s a waste of time!”

Wen Jian nudged him with her elbow and gritted her teeth. She stated sarcastically, “Don’t you know your position without a GPS?”

“Wasn’t it good to win by following Lu Yang? Why did he have to make a fuss? He is really an idiotic teammate,” she thought.

Qin Yitan decided to turn to Lu Yang, who seemed to be the easiest to bully.

“Don’t try to be mysterious, Lu Yang. Just tell us the answer. Regarding the river, the ditch, or the guilt trip you’re referring to, I have no knowledge whatsoever.”

Lu Mingyu glanced at Qin Yitan coldly and said, “You must have hidden yourself when humans were evolving. If not, why do you lack a brain while tofu does?”

Qin Yitan was furious. He tried to retort, “You’re the one without a brain!”

Lu Mingyu chuckled. “Don’t speak if you don’t know how to scold people.”

“Lu Mingyu is quite fun to tease. Hahahaha!”

Qin Yitan stopped complaining and stood aside quietly. His face was red, but it was unclear whether it was because of anger or because he was too hot.

The NPC opened his mouth wide, then he soon shut it again. “Amazing. The guests’ logic are quite strong. The planning team underestimated them.”

After tidying up the line, Wen Jian asked again, “What’s the use of the temperature of the water vapor?”

Lu Yang’s right hand touched the back of her left hand naturally. Her tone was light and soothing, “The temperature of water vapor can reach above 100 degrees. This temperature is the key to solving mission 3.”

After Lu Yang finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something and smiled slightly.

The audience in the live stream room held their breath.

This smile of hers seemed to be different from usual.

She looked astounding!

“Damn it! I’ve already downloaded the anti-fraud application. Why did Lu Yang still steal my heart!”

“Where’s my cupid? Quickly come and match Sister Yang and me. I want to make the most fragrant skewers in the northeast with Sister Yang! I love eating skewers! I love Sister Yang!”

Wen Jian was silent for a moment. She then nodded thoughtfully. “Ah, I see.”

Lin Xinmeng’s head was in a mess. She looked at Wen Jian and asked in confusion, “Do you understand?”

“No,” Wen Jian replied frankly.

Lin Xinmeng was speechless.

“Hahahaha! Wen Jian is like so what if I don’t understand? I’m laughing so hard!”

The NPC wanted to move a stool and sit quietly to watch them analyze.

Unfortunately, Lu Mingyu was staring at him, so he did not dare to move.

When the time was right, Zhou Moli looked at Lu Yang and asked again, “What does 30% of the land mean?”

Zhou Moli knew it had something to do with the wooden house, but he had yet to figure out the connection.
