Chapter 229: The Hidden Quest

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everyone left the cla.s.sroom one after another, leaving Zheng You standing there.

“Youyou, why aren’t you leaving?” Jing Shan was the first to notice her and quickly asked.

Zheng You composed herself and smiled. “It’s nothing. I just feel that this is the part where we need to solve the riddle. I don’t know if there’ll be any problem if we don’t solve it…”

Zheng You was hinting at something. Bai Lin understood what she was implying and said lightly, “If you have such concerns, Miss Zheng, we can split into two groups and deal with the situation separately. Then, we can meet back here.”

“Then let’s talk about it later.” Zheng You quickly caught up with the team.

“Accidents will happen at night. It’s safer for us to stay together.”

Bai Lin gave her a strange look. “What accident?”

Zheng You was shocked and knew that she had let it slip. She had no choice but to pretend to be calm. “There’ll definitely be accidents with this kind of escape  room arrangement at night. I was just saying it casually. I don’t know if there’ll be an accident either.”

At this moment, Yan Ruo also looked at Zheng You. Hisr gaze seemed to be able to see through one’s heart.

Zheng You felt guilty and did not dare to look Yan Ruo in the eye, so she turned her head away.

After they came out, they saw the emergency exit signs at the corridor pointing in the same direction. It was actually the stairs to the fifth floor.

Yan Ruo lightly pressed the earpiece in his ear twice.

Yan-3 immediately received the notification and reported the information he collected back to Yan Ruo in just a few minutes.

As expected, Zheng You had bought the script, but Yan Ruo did not plan to let her use it to win the game smoothly.

He coughed lightly. Yan-3 understood and immediately called Sun Han on the phone.

“What? A last minute change?” Sun Han could not help but frown. However, the Abyss had always prepared two scripts for each episode in case of an emergency. It was not impossible to change the script at this time, not to mention that this was a request from the sponsor.

Sun Han gritted his teeth and agreed. It just so happened that some of the mechanisms he had designed previously had become invalid due to their practicality. It could be said that it was the most suitable time now to use them. In the cla.s.sroom building, the group who had just reached the fifth floor suddenly heard the mechanical female voice from the broadcast.

“Congratulations to everyone for completing the first stage of the mission. Next up, we’ll be entering the second stage of the show. Guests, please head down in an orderly manner and wait for the set layout on the first floor.”

“What? Second stage? I thought it’s almost over,” Li Xuan mumbled in dissatisfaction. He had never heard that this show was so troublesome before he came. Every show was filmed in one go, so why did an accident really happen this time like what Zheng You said?

Ye Xing consoled him considerately from the side, which made him feel much more appeased.

No one noticed how bad Zheng You’s expression was in the dark corridor.

Her words had come true!

The script she received did not mention anything about this, so she had no idea what the so-called second stage was about.

Zhou Guang said coldly with a half-smile, “Ah, as expected, an accident happened. Miss Zheng, you actually have the ability to predict the future. It’s amazing.”

A staff member came to guide them. The lights in the hall on the first floor were on, and there were some fruits and snacks. It seemed that the tasks in this second stage would take a lot of time to complete.

As soon as everyone took their seat, they saw that the large gla.s.s teapot on the table was neither clear water nor tea, but a grayish-white turbid liquid. It did not look like a drink, but more like dirty water used to wipe the table.

“Director! Can this be drunk?” Li Xuan asked loudly.

The one who answered him was the mechanical female voice, “Congratulations on unlocking the hidden quest. Please try to clear the water in the teapot in exchange for drinking water.”

“Congratulations? You told us to rest, but we still have to work. How dare you congratulate me?” Li Xuan stomped his foot in anger.

[Li Xuan is too funny. I thought he’s the kind of sc.u.mbag who looked down on others and a womanizer, but now I think he’s quite real.]

[The Abyss is really full of surprises. There are twists and turns everywhere. I thought they’re really going to take a break. I didn’t expect there to be a hidden mission.

[Lin-jie’s already eating and doesn’t care about the mission at all. My Lin-jie must be so tired.]

[Is she the only one tired? She left the quest and started eating on her own. She doesn’t have any team awareness at all. How selfish!]

[Hasn’t Lin-jie done enough? It’s break time anyway.. Besides, if she doesn’t eat, is she going to leave it as tribute to your master?]
