The surrounding stone walls were entirely smeared with thin, saturated mud, trickling downward.
The muddy pit beneath everyone’s feet was a myriad of unclear holes.
—Jin Qiu was in one of them.
No one spoke.
Nor did anyone move.
The color of gold often gave people a sense of luxury, but it also made it easy for people to overlook its inherent hard metal quality. What would happen if you were hit by a metal as large as a basin and at high speed?
The lighter cases would fracture bones.
The graver ones would directly result in death!
The middle-aged, overweight man, positioned as the server, stood stiffly, his face as white as paper. A large bubble appeared in the mud water beside his legs due to the vibration. It burst with a “pop,” prompting the man to shudder.
The faint stench of urine pervaded the area…
The cave was gloomy, damp, hot, and utterly silent.
No one found the time to mock.
Everyone only stared at those holes, afraid that Jin Qiu would shoot out again.
– It was a ball of extremely hard texture, but it bounced like a fully inflated rubber ball! During its rapid movement just now, Jin Qiu nearly hit people several times. The splash of mud caught everyone off guard and made it impossible to avoid. So now, everyone sat or stood like sculptures, looking pitifully ridiculous covered in caked mud!
Even our legs feel weak.
Bai Youwei quickly counted and identified more than thirty holes within her line of sight alone, not to mention the countless others beyond her sight, implying that the number of rebounds for Jin Qiu was at least over sixty.
She finally understood why the game lasted only 20 seconds.
One of the characteristics of mud is its softness. When a puddle of mud is smashed into a hole, the surrounding mud would slide downward due to gravity, eventually filling up the hole again.
Therefore, if they wanted to find Jin Qiu in the hole, they had to take action before the hole was filled.
Bai Youwei sorted out her thoughts. In a flash, those 20 seconds had passed.
Most of the mud holes had already collapsed and merged with the surrounding mud, leaving behind only a few vaguely visible depression marks.
No one knew where Jin Qiu was.
Everyone was shocked by the speed and power just now, and moreover, their vision was blurred by the mud splashing around. Nobody knew where Jin Qiu had finally landed. contemporary romance
After 20 seconds, a section of the muddy ground suddenly bulged, and Jin Qiu broke out!
It shook up and down, rotated left and right, and the mud on it was flung clean off, returning to its brilliant golden appearance. .c(o)m
“What the hell—” the complaining tone was slow and long, exceptionally dissatisfied. Jin Qiu asked, “Why didn’t you come looking for me? I told you earlier, there’s only one demonstration! The whole of 20 seconds, and you didn’t even look inside one hole?!”
The faces of the crowd were bitter as they looked at it.
Look for the ball?
Just a little distracted, and their heads could explode! They didn’t even have time to hide, how were they supposed to look?!
Jin Qiu scanned the crowd indignantly (even though it had no eyes) and said begrudgingly, “Forget it, the demonstration is over! Now, let the game begin!
The theme of this game is the golden ball of a frog. The Inspector will serve the ball at any location, angle, and strength. If the player finds the ball within 20 seconds, they can pass.
To find the ball, one, your hand must touch the ball, two, the ball must be still.
Are you ready? Let’s start…”
“Wait a moment, please.”
A gentle voice resounded from the crowd.
Everyone looked towards the voice. It was Bai Youwei.
She was sitting on a snail, propping up her elbow. Her scattered long hair was soaked and wet, clumped together in strands, and her wide skirt saturated with mud stuck to the snail shell. She resembled a stranded mermaid, quiet and fragile.
Only her gaze was gloomy; a cold smile played on the corners of her lips, forming an eerie contrast with her disheveled appearance.
Bai Youwei raised one hand, and asked, “The game rules, aren’t they missing something?”
