Chapter 67: Chapter 67 How heavy can a black and white photo be, it can hang! (Add one more update)
Bei Ning stiffly replied, “Understood.”
“I look forward to your next performance. I don’t like people who back out at the last minute. I hope to hear a result that satisfies me.”
Obediently, Bei Ning nodded. Qin Jiangsheng meant that she shouldn’t touch Ji Tian, but she could shift her target to Shen Zhiyi.
It was only when the crisp breath beside her faded that she relaxed and realized that her back was already drenched in sweat.
Fortunately, the target Gong Dongxi had given her was two people, so she would start with Shen Zhiyi.
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
She felt somewhat tangled and pained but ultimately, for the sake of her family, made up her mind, hoping that Shen Zhiyi wouldn’t blame her. After all, she had rashly attempted to vie for Bai Tingyu and had touched Gong Dongxi’s sore spot…
...
…
Shen Zhiyi was already making a rope, probably planning to climb up herself to get the money. The cliff was steep, but it was still climbable, albeit with some difficulty, while Quan Jingyou had borrowed a hook from Yan Ming.
Gong Yu also went to find a solution.
At this time, the most idle were Ji Tian and Ji Weinan.
One didn’t want to win, and the other wanted to win but lacked the intellect.
Ji Weinan looked at a crooked tree at the top of the cliff and calculated the distance to the bird’s nest with his gaze. Suddenly, he had a brilliant idea, “Little sister, I have thought of an excellent method!”
Seeing Ji Tian’s pitying gaze on him, he excitedly revealed his freshly devised plan, “Do you see that tree? About three to four meters diagonally above the bird’s nest. What do you think, I’m not very heavy, and with the tree’s inertia, I could hang on the branch where the nest is, little sister, do you think it could work?”
Ji Tian glanced, from their angle coupled with some imagination, it indeed seemed easy. She didn’t want to dampen Ji Weinan’s enthusiasm, so she encouraged, “Yes, how much can a black and white photo weigh? It should hold.”
Ji Weinan: “…”
He didn’t know how to describe his feelings at the moment, but he just felt that he shouldn’t try it anymore.
As Ji Tian watched a group of people hesitantly haggling over fifty yuan, she turned to Ji Weinan and said, “Do you want that fifty yuan?”
Ji Weinan irritably replied, “Obviously.”
Otherwise why would he be here?
“Alright then,” Ji Tian’s tone carried a father-like indulgence, “I’ll indulge you.”
She crouched on the ground and picked through the rocks until she chose one that was neither too big nor too small.
She gauged the distance to the bird’s nest on the cliff, and then with a fierce throw, before anyone could react, Ji Tian’s stone knocked the nest down, landing steadily right in her hand.
Inside was fifty yuan. She directly took it and put it in her pocket, “Okay, check-in over, next.”
Everyone: “…”
[????????]
[Amazing. I almost forgot how strong she is. That rock in her hand is like a slingshot, hitting the target every time.]
[No kidding… Shen Zhiyi just finished making the rope, and Ji Tian has probably infuriated her…]
Shen Zhiyi was indeed very angry, feeling that Ji Tian was deliberately playing with her.
Yet she still responded in good nature, “What a pity, the money ended up in Ji Tian’s hands. Let’s look for something else.”
Having said that, she quickly left the place, and the other teams didn’t dare to delay either, given that their survival for the coming days was at stake.
Meanwhile, Ji Tian, by sheer luck, ended up with two hundred yuan in cash. Wherever she went, there seemed to be money, which was eerily lucky. Quan Jingyou seized the opportunity to stay close to her, and managed to pocket one hundred.
Gong Yu also found one hundred, while Yu Chuang, leading Qin Jiangsheng and Feng Juanjuan, found only fifty.
Thus, the initially favored Dai Qin Team only managed to secure fifty.
But they had no house to stay in. The fifty yuan was enough for groceries, but for three people, fifty yuan meant eating just steamed buns every day, otherwise they wouldn’t make it through the next four days. What troubled them the most was not having a place to live.
Dai Qin rubbed his brow in frustration, “What will we do for a place to stay tonight? Wanxue is smart; she used that one hundred yuan and paid twenty-five in rent to the Yu Chuan Team to sleep in their small western-style house for one night. Although there aren’t many beds, it’s enough even if three more people join.”
“Tile houses and thatched cottages are just standard triple rooms, not one more, so our situation is quite dire right now.”
He had thought they had a good start, but it turned out to be terrible; not getting a house was bad enough, and now being at the bottom in terms of money was worse. The only good fortune was receiving that mysterious reward.
Dai Qin, with his calm demeanor, pondered for a moment before saying, “Should we use this reward? The best course right now is to maximize the value from others to ensure we aren’t eliminated.”
Bai Tingyu pursed his lips slightly, “I think it can be used to trade for a house, or even saved for tomorrow to trade for the food they buy.”
Shen Zhiyi smiled faintly, confident, “Let’s wait a bit longer. I’ve found a place to stay for free where we can manage for tonight. After we gather some money, and there’s also the fourth task, we might as well complete that before considering whether to trade.”
The fourth task was today’s final task.
It was related to their learning.
It was already five in the afternoon. Dai Qin sighed, “Alright, let’s spend some money on dinner later, constantly being hungry isn’t the solution.”
All they had was fifty yuan, so they needed to save wherever possible.
Until they gathered in the open area, Ji Weinan was still a bit confused. He and Ji Tian had just idly wandered around and also ended up with two hundred yuan.
This meant they could afford to pay the rent for the coming days and wouldn’t have to sleep outside.
Plus, they had enough money to eat well, and Ji Weinan could almost see victory.
But the fourth task immediately made him frown.
Yan Ming held the megaphone, announcing, “Now, we’ll reveal today’s last task, ‘Joyful Learning’. The five members of the star group don’t have to join. This task is specially designed for the students, and on completing the task, they can earn money, up to one hundred!”
The mention of money brought joy to some and concern to others.
Quan Jingyou, like Ji Weinan, frowned.
Among the people present, except for the two of them, Ji Tian, and Qin Jiangsheng, the others were almost all top students.
Wasn’t this task specifically designed to trouble them?
Upon hearing about the task, Yu Chuang had already given up hope. His gaze shifted to Qin Jiangsheng, who had been like a ghost all day, with nearly all tasks being handled by him and the girl, Feng Juanjuan. Even Ji Tian couldn’t keep up with him.
And he’d heard that this boy’s academic performance was poor, really poor!
This was a direct GG.
Feng Juanjuan was a good student, ranked within the top hundred in the school. With a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, she reassured, “Don’t worry, Teacher Yu Chuang, I’m here. I’ll do my best to get the prize. First place one hundred, second place fifty, third place twenty; I’ll strive for the second!”
Yu Chuang smiled, finding Feng Juanjuan quite plain compared to the radiant Ji Tian, but appreciated her simplicity. He joked lightly, “Go ahead, but don’t stress out. Even if we lose, it doesn’t matter. We’ll manage by collecting rent.”
