Taking Part in a Survival Game with My Brother

If the guests did not know about 73, how would they find the wooden house? The original plan of the planning team was to randomly pick a guest, secretly tell him the clues, and let him complete mission 3.

Such a solution could not only create a persona for the guests and attract passers-by fans, but it could also add high-energy segments to the show.

It was a perfect win-win situation.

!!

However, Lu Yang’s conditions messed up their plans. They didn’t have an alternative plan, so they could only go along with it.

The NPC was evasive. “… Didn’t you guys find out There’s no need to talk about this problem anymore, right?”

The fact that he had a script planned in private must not be known to the netizens.

Lu Yang ran her fingers across the magazine and replied, “Of course.”

The NPC was overjoyed.

Lu Yang’s fingers were holding the corner of the paper as she said nonchalantly, “There will be a typhoon in a few days. Will the program’s recording be suspended?”

“Isn’t the answer obvious? The recording will definitely be suspended. It’s such a waste to ask this question.”

“The NPC looks like he’s been struck. He’s looking at Lu Yang in disbelief. I’m sure he didn’t expect her to ask this question.”

The land was vast, the forest was colorful, the sky was clear, and every place was filled with endless vitality. However, the NPCs felt like a typhoon had arrived and the dark clouds were crushing them.

As expected, with so much foreshadowing, Lu Yang would not ask a good question.

The NPC knew that the answer to the question was no doubt that they would not. However, if he were to point it out in advance, he was afraid that he would be scolded to death by the netizens.

The topic would be him disregarding human lives for the sake of popularity.

The NPC suddenly had a flash of inspiration and entered acting mode without warning. He held his right arm with his left hand and said in pain, “My arm suddenly went numb. Do you know what happened?”

“This arm does not cause a heart attack. The angina condition will impact not the right arm but the left shoulder.” Lu Yang exposed his act.

She used the most soothing tone and sincere expression to cut off the last straw.

The NPC couldn’t help but feel sad.

“Argh! I give up. I can’t escape this time, so I might as well be struck to death by lightning,” he thought.

“I’m dying of laughter. He’s pretending to be sick in front of an expert. Hahahaha!”

The NPC thought for a while and bowed slightly. He looked at Lu Yang with pleading eyes, “Why don’t you just ask me what mission 3 is?”

“The NPC was very arrogant NPC when he first appeared. Now, he’s very humble.

“Lu Yang has clearly made things difficult for the NPC with her questions. Hahahaha!”

The audience in the live broadcast room was stunned.

It was really a smart move to make the NPC beg to ask what mission 3 was!

It was absolutely unprecedented!

In the studio, the director and planner watched the live broadcast in fear.

“Is this NPC a professional?” The director was full of doubts. He put one hand on his waist and pointed at the NPC on the screen with the other.

The planner raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead. “He’s very professional. He’s the number one in the industry. Whether it’s his acting or intelligence, he’s recognized as the top in the industry.”

“Are you sure he didn’t self-proclaim it?”

“No…” the planner replied.

The director squinted his eyes. “Then why do I feel like Lu Yang didn’t even need to put in any effort to question him?”

The planner felt uneasy. “Maybe… Lu Yang is too smart.”

Although the clues and mission had been shown to the director, the director did not interfere. He could not understand it either. They had actually been a little lazy when designing the mission.

If the director found out they had cut corners, they would probably be fired.

…

On the other side, Lu Yang’s continuous questions caused the NPC’s mentality to collapse like a snow mountain, which was difficult to recover from.

If he had known this would happen, he would not have given her a chance to ask questions, even if he had to devise a lousy excuse.

Lu Yang blinked and stated sincerely, “But I know what mission 3 is.”

In other words, the NPC didn’t need to answer what mission 3 was.

It wasn’t just the NPC that was shocked. Even Lin Xinmeng was shocked. “You know what mission 3 is?”

“What is it?” Qin Yitan asked. “What is mission 3?”

“Is this show really not following the script? They are always solving the clues by surprise and completing the mission.”

“Amazing! Lu Yang has completely blown us away. Let’s sit back and reap the benefits. It’s not a bad idea to lie flat!”

“Qin Yitan’s attitude toward Lu Yang has changed a lot. Look at his admiring eyes. It’s like the way my dog looks at me.”

Lin Xinmeng quickly called out to the system, “Do Lu Yang really know that is mission 3? When did she find out?

The system answered: “Yes, while you were arguing with the NPC.”

“Lu Yang is smarter than I thought. She didn’t know it beforehand and deduced it. That shouldn’t be the case! This is a story where I play the main character with Zhou Moli, and everyone likes me. Why is there someone smarter than us?” Lin Xinmeng mused.

The system was speechless: “Darkness is not what you see in front of you. What kind of script do you think it is for everyone to like you? Could it be a sacrifice script? Host, I could guarantee that the script could have unfolded smoothly if you followed my instructions. Perhaps, it could even turn into a script where you excel at everything in life. It would be the most rejuvenating script.”

The NPC saw that Lu Yang was surrounded and wanted to sneak away. However, he bumped into Lu Mingyu just as he took two steps back.

Lu Mingyu stared at him. “You haven’t answered her question.”

The NPC slowly straightened his back and avoided eye contact. “You already know about mission 3. There’s no use for me to stay here, so I’ll take my leave.”

...

Lu Mingyu blocked his way and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He looked like he was not to be trifled with. “Hold on.”

“Oh! He’s stop the NPC directly!”

The captured NPC was like a sheep waiting to be slaughtered. He could do nothing but wait for death.

The drop in authority ranking happened too quickly like a tornado. The NPC was caught when he tried to escape the storm.

He had thought this would be the start of his career’s peak, but he didn’t expect it to be a downward trajectory.

“Mingyu.”

Lu Yang turned her head, and her gaze moved between Lu Mingyu and the NPC. After a while, she said to the latter, “Mingyu and I like to play murder mystery games, and we always want to poach brilliant NPCs to play with.”

The NPC was shocked and mused, “Did they stop me so they could keep questioning me and not kill me?

“Do the salary and benefits you mentioned just now still count? I can reduce my pay a little. Not 10 times, just 5 times,” the NPC asked.

“The NPC must have thought Lu Mingyu was there to beat him up.”

“What a surprising turnaround! Not long ago, the NPC had coldly rejected Lu Yang. He’s now making an effort to win her over now.”

...

“I pity this haughty NPC. He’s not living a humane life.”

The NPC was looking forward to the answer, but Qin Yitan suddenly interrupted, “Lu Yang, what’s mission 3?”

“First, tell us what mission 3 is, then we can slowly talk to the NPC.”

The four looked at Lu Yang in unison, hoping she would tell them about mission 3.

Zhou Moli had some clues in mind, but he had not yet developed a flawless line of reasoning. Thus, he was unsure of task 3. However, figuring out mission 3 was only a matter of time for him.

As for the others, they were too exhausted to think about mission 3.

Lu Yang’s lips twitched as she handed the magazine to Wen Jian.

“Turn to page 3 and look at the twelfth line.”
