Chapter 37 One Kick to Solve
This is so awkward... Wang Liang couldn't help but complain in his heart. He didn't think much of it when watching TV dramas, but watching this group of actors record a program was really too awkward. He could hardly control his expression.
After all, it's a variety show, so it can't be too bad. Director Wu immediately gave Zhao Ruoxi a wink, and Zhao Ruoxi quickly picked up the acrylic ball that Liang Yuan had drawn for Ding Xuehui and showed the task slip to the camera.
"Huihui's mission is a grand adventure!" Zhao Ruoxi screamed dramatically, "Players, please go to the wine cellar alone and retrieve the red wine with the 'G' mark!"
Wang Liang swallowed hard, inwardly marveling at Ding Xuehui's incredible luck! In Wang Liang's mind, the girl on the screen was practically a dead person.
After the boots landed, Ding Xuehui was no longer as nervous as before. She took the task slip and looked at Jiang Lin again.
Noticing Ji Xingyi's cold gaze, Ding Xuehui showed him disgust for the first time. With Ji Xingyi around, she had no chance to get close to Jiang Lin! Peace talks and courting!
"What are you standing there for!" Director Wu's stern voice shouted, startling everyone.
"Wang Liang! Hurry up and keep up!"
Wang Liang, still reeling from the shock, suddenly felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, his face drained of all color. He suddenly remembered he was a photographer! He was supposed to be filming the players!
Players are required to adhere to logic and advance the plot; otherwise, they will be immediately punished with elimination.
Wang Liang remained motionless, and the system sensed his intention to retreat, issuing a warning.
"Damn it!" Wang Liang cursed under his breath and immediately followed Ding Xuehui with heavy steps.
After leaving the restaurant, Ding Xuehui looked around, not knowing where the wine cellar was. She turned to look at Wang Liang, who shook his head with a bitter expression. Just as she was at a loss, Ding Xuehui heard footsteps.
A black-haired woman of a different race, dressed in a black maid outfit, carried a steaming steak toward the restaurant.
Ding Xuehui tried to communicate with the maid in English.
The dim light illuminated half of the maid's face. Ding Xuehui didn't know what the characteristics of people from France were. The maid in front of her had particularly fair skin, but the texture was rough, giving the impression of fine grains.
The maid's eyes had an unusual green tint, with very white sclera. They lacked any sparkle and appeared quite dull. She stared at Ding Xuehui for a few seconds before raising her hand and pointing to the end of the dark corridor.
In those few seconds, Ding Xuehui's heart pounded, as if she had been suddenly struck by ice, feeling a chill. Even after the maid left, she was still in a daze.
Wang Liang raised his hand and shoved the girl, saying anxiously, "Let's go!"
Ding Xuehui immediately walked away quickly. After they were out of sight, Wang Liang whispered, "I feel like she's hiding something in her skirt, maybe a weapon!"
"What did you say?" Ding Xuehui was startled. The Western-style maid dress did have a slightly bulging, curved hem, but to hide a weapon there would be too exaggerated.
"This is my third instance. I'm not ashamed to admit it, but I'm still incredibly nervous. Don't find me annoying, just talk to me and I'll feel less nervous."
Wang Liang has a slight northern accent, but it's not strong.
"I saw a video on TikTok, set in the 1920s, also in France. A maid named Kate was scolded by her mistress. She turned around, grabbed an axe, and hid it in her skirt! When the mistress had her back to her, she pulled out the axe and, with a snap, chopped off half of her brain!"
The staircase leading to the basement was pitch black, but Wang Liang's naturally humorous voice dispelled the invisible fear in the darkness.
Ding Xuehui exhaled a breath of stale air and replied, "The maximum load-bearing capacity of a human skull is between 200 and 500 kilograms, and the hardness of a skull is equivalent to a 4 to 5 cm steel plate."
"Theoretically, it's impossible for a woman to cut off half of her skull with one stroke; it's just that marketing accounts are exaggerating."
"Wow, you know quite a lot!" Wang Liang looked at her with newfound respect. This girl looked delicate, but he didn't expect her to be able to think rationally in this situation. She's quite impressive!
Ding Xuehui: "After I cleared the first dungeon, I went to brush up on some medical treatment knowledge."
She couldn't improve her physical fitness in a short time, nor could she make herself smarter; her best option was to study hard and increase her knowledge. Emergency medical care was the most likely area Ding Xuehui would need.
“It’s good to be young. I’ve been working for many years now.” Wang Liang said with envy, “I work like a slave during the day for that little bit of money, and when I finally get a day off, I have to participate in this awful game. Life is really meaningless.”
Ding Xuehui couldn't help but turn around and glance at Wang Liang.
"Don't look at me like that, your luck isn't much better!" Wang Liang said self-deprecatingly. "Hurry up and grab your things, it's terribly cold in here!"
Unbeknownst to them, the two had already entered the cellar, which was filled with piles of wine barrels. Ding Xuehui carefully searched for the mission target, and before their luck ran out, they found an item marked with a "G" in the third wine cabinet.
The props were on the bottom floor. Ding Xuehui squatted down and reached out to grab them when she suddenly felt something slip across the back of her hand, startling her so much that she leaned back.
"A rat!" Ding Xuehui belatedly realized what it was, and her face instantly turned pale.
No sooner had she finished speaking than a small black creature darted out from under the wine cellar. Before Ding Xuehui could even react and scream, a large foot wearing a black sneaker nimbly shot out.
With a smack, he swiftly and decisively stomped the black rat under his foot!
Ding Xuehui looked at the man behind her in disbelief. In that instant, Wang Liang appeared unusually tall and imposing.
Before recording began, Jiang Lin told him and Ruan Qing about the clues regarding the rat, which is why she was so flustered. Unexpectedly, Wang Liang was so bold!
"What's so scary about rats?" Wang Liang said dismissively. "Don't you southerners eat roasted rats? I heard they taste like chicken. Is that true? Have you ever tried them?"
"..." Ding Xuehui was speechless, and sighed inwardly: Wang Liang's mouth is really the nemesis of the terrifying dungeon!
Three minutes later, the two returned to the restaurant, and Ding Xuehui sat back down, slightly out of breath.
"Huihui, you're amazing! You finished the task so quickly!" Zhao Ruoxi gave Ding Xuehui a playful hug.
Ding Xuehui glanced at Jiang Lin and replied nonchalantly, "There were rats in the wine cellar, but luckily Brother Wang was quick and took care of them with one kick, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get them out so fast."
Upon hearing the word "rat," Zheng Lu and Zheng Zhaonan in the filming area instantly became serious.
Recording continued, and the eight participants began the second round of card drawing. Director Wu announced the lucky winners as the ones with the highest and lowest cards.
Jiang Lin looked at the King of Diamonds in his hand, his eyes flickering slightly. It was his turn!
