Chapter 24 The party begins
Chapter 24 The party begins
In the final round, only Shi Erzhe and Shan Shanshan remained.
Although Shi Bai was intelligent, his reaction was surprisingly slow, and he was defeated in the second round.
An Yixuan was distracted, so her reaction time was naturally not very fast, and she was unfortunately eliminated in the third round.
Although Ding Ning is very good at playing games, she didn't want to compete for this spot, so she secretly gave up in the penultimate round.
The onlookers consciously moved aside, leaving the center position for the two eager contestants.
The atmosphere was inexplicably heated.
Feng Shuyuan was helpless.
Anyone who didn't know better would think these two were about to have some kind of life-or-death struggle.
"Ahem..." Feng Shuyuan cleared his throat.
Upon hearing the sound, the two people seemed to jump up from their stools almost simultaneously, as if without thinking.
"1!"
Then he pointed at the other person and shouted out their nickname.
"Squid!" "Milk tea!"
After all, it was just the two of them left, and that nickname had already run through their minds a hundred times over.
After this series of smooth and effortless actions were completed, the two seemed to realize something and stood there stunned.
Meanwhile, the people around them were already laughing so hard they were doubled over.
Ding Ning laughed so hard that tears streamed down her face.
The comments section erupted in cheers.
"False start! Both of them false started! Disqualified!"
"Hahahaha, this is hilarious! I thought it was a really mindless game, but I didn't expect them to find it so interesting."
"Hahahaha, Shanshan is so silly."
"Interesting, I enjoy watching it, I recommend playing it more often!"
"I'm ready to go! Hahahaha!"
Shan Shanshan and Shi Erzhe exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.
"Relax, don't be so tense."
Feng Shuyuan was just smiling and comforting the two when he suddenly and rudely shouted, "Begin!"
The two had just experienced a blunder and were still basking in the afterglow of their "early start".
Upon hearing the command, the first thing that flashed through my mind was:
"Did I mishear again this time?"
Realizing that it was indeed the “beginning,” Shi Erzhe immediately stood up, securing his victory.
Shan Shanshan was ultimately a second too slow.
By the time she realized what was happening, Shi Erzhe had already played his "1", and she was eliminated.
"Shanshan got ambushed! Hahahaha!"
"Shanshan looks so cute with that dazed look in her eyes!"
"It's just a little game, it's not important. Good luck, Shanshan!"
Shi Erzhe has some histrionic personality traits.
Upon hearing Feng Shuyuan confirm him as the winner, he immediately ran around the arena in excitement.
As he circled the field, he raised his arms and shouted, making some strange noises.
Feng Shuyuan was dumbfounded.
"Has he... always been like this?"
Feng Shuyuan spoke somewhat tactfully.
"Yes, he's always had this smug look on his face."
Shan Shanshan gritted her teeth.
It seems this isn't the first time something like this has happened.
After circling the field once, Shi Erzhe ran up to Feng Shuyuan, his eyes shining, and asked:
"Sister Yuanyuan, what reward do I get for winning?"
Feng Shuyuan patted Shan Shanshan's shoulder, who was still somewhat unconvinced, to appease her.
Then, she went to the shelf, took the torch down, and handed it to Shi Erzhe.
"You need to use your torch to light the campfire. Come with me."
The others quickly joined in as well.
When Tang Jiang saw Shi Erzhe accept the torch, he inexplicably felt a solemn aura.
He then shook his head, trying to shake the thought out of his mind.
This is the carefree Shi Erzhe!
However, he wasn't the only one who felt this way.
When Shi Erzhe took the torch, he himself felt a strange sense of solemnity.
He subconsciously swallowed, holding the torch, and for a moment even seemed to lose his footing.
He was also a little curious; he had only lit a fire, so what was wrong with him?
Led by Feng Shuyuan, he carefully approached the tall campfire, torch in hand.
When he actually stood in front of the campfire, Shi Erzhe was not so nervous anymore.
After taking a deep breath, he felt inexplicably at peace.
"Crackling"
The firewood made a crisp sound.
The flames spread from Shi Erzhe's torch toward the center of the campfire.
At first, there was only a tiny spark.
However, at a certain moment, the fireball at the center began to expand rapidly.
Shi Erzhe felt the scorching heat and took a few steps back.
The fireball engulfed the entire pile of firewood with lightning speed.
Fire shot into the sky.
Amidst the blazing firelight, Shi Bai, with his sharp eyes, spotted several tiny points of light spreading out from the campfire in all directions.
They look like tiny LED strips.
He looked in the direction of the light and found that as the light moved backward, more and more things lit up.
Tiny LED strips of light were wrapped around the swings, tents, tables, and chairs, making these things, which would otherwise be inconspicuous in the darkness, sparkle.
Meanwhile, the stalls in the distance lit up as well.
It was as if Shi Erzhe's torch illuminated the entire world.
Everyone was stunned by the sight.
Honestly, this kind of temperature sensing technology is nothing special in this world; even a middle school student could easily master it.
But nobody would actually use this technology like that.
Feng Shuyuan used it briefly, and the results were astonishing.
The next second, music started playing all around.
The music was melodious and gentle, like a summer breeze, sweeping away the heat in everyone's hearts and bringing a sense of coolness.
[You now have one genuinely trusting and fond visitor to Huaxing. Current Trust Coins: 5.]
[You now have one genuinely trusting and fond visitor to Huaxing. Current Trust Coins: 6.]
The system flashed two messages in succession about receiving True Coins.
Feng Shuyuan nodded in satisfaction.
Music truly knows no borders.
The lighting and music effects were great; it jolted out two coins immediately.
We'll give them a bigger show next time we have the chance.
After enjoying the stunned expressions on their faces for a while, Feng Shuyuan took charge of the situation:
"Well then, with the help of classmate Shi Erzhe, our party shall officially begin!"
As Feng Shuyuan's voice faded, the music suddenly became cheerful.
Several men and women dressed in brightly colored clothes with intricate patterns entered the venue with light, rhythmic steps, accompanied by music.
The silver ornaments on their heads made a series of crisp sounds as they moved.
Before everyone had even recovered from the initial lingering effect, the dancers had already arrived in front of them.
A dancer stood in front of each person, moving their bodies to the music while reaching out their hands to the young visitors.
It felt like a lecture, but also like an invitation.
