Chapter 63: Rounding It Up

“I don’t have any tools,” Bai Lin said lazily, “I’ll get some back.”

Bai Xi’s group was still struggling with the first bomb.

They really did not have enough points. If they wanted to buy the bomb disposal instructions, they would not be able to buy a kit.

The staff member kept hinting to them that they could think of something else through Bai Lin and the others. For example, they could borrow some points.

Bai Shao and Zhao Yuan had just embarra.s.sed themselves at Bai Lin’s place and did not want to go. Fan Feng had wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Bai Lin and the others, but Bai Xi did not let him do as he wished.

Bai Xi looked at Jin Ran gently. “Xiao Ran, you and Bai Lin used to be in the same team. She took a good care of you too. If you ask, she’ll definitely help.

You should go.”

Jin Ran pursed her lips. “You’re borrowing points from Lin-jie, so what are you planning to repay her with?”

“It’s already said that we’re borrowing the points, it’s not like we’re not returning them to her,” Zhao Yuan said indifferently.

Jin Ran did not back down. “There’s only one more day before this episode ends. We don’t know what the next episode will be like. Besides, the grouping will change, and we won’t be able to calculate the points then.”

Zhao Yuan got angry and sneered, “This won’t do, and that won’t do too. Why haven’t you thought of a good solution though?”

Bai Xi patted Jin Ran’s hand, causing the latter to tremble and subconsciously shake her off.

Bai Xi did not seem to mind at all and chuckled, “Xiao Ran, you don’t have to be embarra.s.sed. My sister cares a lot about her friends, so there’s definitely no problem for you to go. Besides, you don’t want to be eliminated, do you?

“That’s enough, Fan Feng said impatiently, “There’s no end to it. It’s a waste of time. I’ll go find Bai Lin.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice came from behind them.

“I think I heard my name.” Bai Lin put her hands in her pockets and walked over with a smile. “Do you need any help?”

As soon as Bai Shao saw Bai Lin, he wanted to refute but when he thought of the predicament they were in, he could only sit back down and remain silent. Bai Xi’s eyes flickered. “Jiejie, have you completed the mission on your side?”

“Mn, I came out to see how you guys are doing. Not going well?” Bai Lin asked. “Do you need help?”

Bai Xi was startled. She was afraid of being tricked again, so she cautiously probed, “How do you want to help, jiejie?

“I know how to defuse the bomb.” Bai Lin tapped the bomb on the ground with the tip of her foot. “You guys gather your points and get me a toolkit. I’ll help you guys defuse it. How about it?”

Bai Lin’s condition was reasonable. Bai Xi was even more confused. “That’s it?”

Bai Lin laughed. “What else?”

After a pause, she suddenly realized, “You mustn’t want me to work too hard, so you want to pay me for my hard work, right? You’re so kind.”

Bai Xi was not happy to be praised by someone she hated. The corner of her eyes twitched, and she said stiffly, “Jiejie, you must be joking. Let’s redeem a beginner kit and…”

Bai Lin interrupted her, “I want the advanced one. This bomb is complicated. It can only be defused with an advanced kit.”

[Hahaha, who was the one who took the pliers given by the production crew and defused the bomb?]

[My Lin-jie’s ability to lie through her teeth has improved again.]

If there were any other way, Bai Xi would never cooperate with Bai Lin, but now she could only swallow her anger and go to the staff member to redeem the advanced toolkit.

In their group, Jin Ran had the most points. They had originally planned to let her pay the full cost, but with Bai Lin’s half-smile as if she could see through her thoughts, Bai Xi could only share the cost and redeem the advanced toolkit for her.

The bomb that they had been struggling with for a long time was defused by Bai Lin without any difficulty. It took less than ten minutes.

Even Bai Shao had to admit that Bai Lin was good in this.

After defusing their group’s last bomb, Bai Xi was still in a daze. Why did Bai Lin help them?

The question was quickly answered.

After Bai Lin defused all their group’s bombs, she used the toolkit they had redeemed to defuse her group’s bomb.

“Didn’t you say that you’ve already settled them?” Bai Xi asked incredulously. She thought that Bai Lin could defuse the bombs without a toolkit and had only asked them to redeem one to save time.

If she had known earlier that Bai Lin had not defused the bomb, she would not have had nothing as her negotiation chip just now and was completely at Bai Lin’s mercy. She could have even taken the opportunity to gain more benefits from Bai Lin.

Bai Xi wallowed in regret.

Bai Lin did not even raise her head. Her fingers quickly separate the wires using the tools. “Yeah, two out of three bombs were disposed.. Isn’t it considered done after rounding it up?
