CHAPTER 30: CHAPTER 30: UNLUCKY MENTOR CARD

Compared to Yu Xia’s stinginess, Wei Yaoyao had more faith in the two seven-point cards.

"Even though we can’t get the best one, we shouldn’t just give up, Yu Xia. You get what you pay for."

"What if the production team is counting on this mindset and deliberately set it up the opposite way? Spending seven points on an unlucky card would be too unlucky, at least a two-point card doesn’t hurt as much."

The two debated back and forth, neither convincing the other, so they both turned to look at Xie Qingci.

Yu Xia: "What do you think, which one should we choose?"

Xie Qingci didn’t hesitate and pointed to the two-point card from a distance.

"This one."

Yu Xia felt relieved.

Wei Yaoyao let out a howl: "I have a bad feeling about this."

The NPC asked, "Is this your final decision? Not spending another point to see the card’s name?"

"We’re not falling for that, just take this card."

"Alright, fine."

He brought out the prop card, flipped it over, placed it on the display case, and pushed it to them.

The camera and the three heads leaned in to take a closer look.

Yu Xia read it aloud: "Entertainment Card—Unlucky Instructor Card..."

Damn.

Without missing a beat, she grabbed the prop card and lunged at the display case, reaching out to switch it, her movements quick and fierce.

Xie Qingci and Wei Yaoyao reacted quickly to hold her back, while the NPC guarded the display case tightly.

NPC: "No take-backs! No refunds!"

Wei Yaoyao: "Yu Xia, calm down! Calm down! Don’t be rash!"

Xie Qingci: "Be careful!"

Yu Xia shouted at the top of her lungs: "Change the card! What kind of crap is this?! How does making the instructor unlucky help the game, huh?! You’re messing with me!"

Wei Yaoyao couldn’t help but laugh, trying to comfort her while chuckling: "It’s okay, Yu Xia. Calm down, maybe this unlucky card isn’t so unlucky?"

Yu Xia reluctantly calmed down, took a deep breath, and asked to see the description area under the prop card’s name.

"If the production team is in a bad mood and wants to see someone unlucky for entertainment, drawing this card means the instructors in the team can’t ride vehicles, drink water, or eat snacks, and all physical attacks are aimed at them. Wow, just great."

Expressionless, she read it aloud once, then started to lash out again.

"Let go! What does the production team’s bad mood have to do with me?! Take a nap if you’re in a bad mood! Give me a different card! Spending two points for bad luck, you’re really bunch of greedy bastards!"

This time, no matter how much Wei Yaoyao tried to soothe her, she wouldn’t listen.

The crucial point was that she was determined to struggle, and Wei Yaoyao and Xie Qingci couldn’t use force, so neither of them could hold her down, allowing her to slip away like a slippery fish.

Both buyer and seller flailed their arms and legs, and just as a fierce showdown was about to erupt, Xie Qingci managed to scoop Yu Xia back, pinning her behind him.

"You’re going to shake the mic off."

Yu Xia glared at the card, wheezing like a bellows.

"I’m so pissed, so pissed!"

Xie Qingci held back his laughter: "It’s alright, at least it only cost two points."

"...Just spending two points to buy bad luck! This should at least be worth nine points!"

Xie Qingci blinked innocently: "But this is what you wanted to choose."

Yu Xia: "..."

Might as well be pissed to death.

Even though she wanted to deny it, the purchase was made, the two points were deducted, and the prop card was now in effect.

She dragged her weary steps to leave, but the NPC awkwardly coughed and said: "Don’t you want to see what the nine-point card is? Each episode’s prop cards are different, and once missed, you won’t see it later."

Wei Yaoyao: "Well, then let’s take a look?"

He looked at Xie Qingci.

Xie Qingci then looked at Yu Xia: "Take a look?"

Yu Xia tiredly nodded.

As soon as the golden VIP card was taken out, the words on it shocked them.

"Key Card—Clearing All Difficulties."

NPC: "The effect of this card is to help eliminate three wrong answers, and determine which wifi you need to connect to."

The three: "...Swindler misled us!"

Right from the start, they made us spend a point and we still missed out on this card, how unscrupulous.

As for the two seven-point cards, they didn’t want to look at them to avoid getting angrier.

Leaving the display case, they walked a short distance, and Yu Xia’s mood was still heavy.

"I was wrong, you get what you pay for, that’s true. I’m going to make this phrase one of the guiding principles of my life."

Wei Yaoyao: "Well, it’s not necessary. What are the guiding principles of your life?"

"I only had one phrase before."

"What?"

Yu Xia looked up with tears: "Wholeheartedly towards the party, always upholding love and peace."

Wei Yaoyao: "...Seems powerful."

After walking a bit more, they returned to the alley where Gang Dan lived.

Upon entering the alley, their steps became heavy, their pace slowed, and they even leaned against the wall to walk.

Yu Xia: "Oh, the thought of meeting your sister soon makes me so excited I’m weak all over."

Wei Yaoyao: "I’m worse, I’m so excited that my vision is going black." He almost wished to go blind on the spot.

Gang Ruannuan was feeling his unique Mediterranean hairstyle, and upon hearing this, said: "It’s normal, the thought of my sister’s beauty makes me a bit excited too."

Yu Xia glanced at him: "So excited your wig’s crooked, huh?"

Xie Qingci turned his head away, trying not to laugh, covering his mouth to restrain himself.

Gang Dan’s house was right in front of them.

They noticed that besides the familiar wide-faced beauty at the door, there was also a skinny young man.

A bicycle was parked by the wall, and a few onlookers were cracking sunflower seeds for entertainment.

"Who is that?" Wei Yaoyao asked.

Gang Ruannuan: "Chen Ergou, he’s proposing to my sister again. Sigh. Beauties have such troubles, I guess."

"...Good for them, wish them a happy marriage." He retracted his neck and offered a blessing.

Yu Xia was still thinking about the wifi password, discussing with them how to get a string of numbers or letters out of Er Gouzi.

Xie Qingci said: "Clues are embedded in the NPC’s performance, they don’t start acting until we’re on the scene. Let’s watch this play first."

Yu Xia: "Yes, let’s move closer and carefully listen to everything he says."

At this moment, Chen Ergou suddenly lifted his leg high, doing a split against the wall, pinning the blushing Gang Dan against the wall so close their faces almost touched.

Wei Yaoyao: "Leg wall slam, nice leg!"

Next, Chen Ergou launched into a complex, heartfelt confession.

He also pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, glancing at it every few lines. Despite his deep male voice, he spoke with a strange accent.

"Dear Gang Dan~ I am Er Gou, please let me tell you in the best English—’I love you’! You are my heart, you are my liver, you are three-fifths of my beloved!"
