I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today-Chapter 470 - : Square Carnival
Chapter 470: Chapter 470: Square Carnival
People need the rejuvenation of climbing a peak every time they hit a valley. On the evening of the 21st, when news of the game being cleared spread, people gathered spontaneously in the square, lit bonfires and threw a party.
All were reveling in the merriment.
Chu Huaijin, the person in charge of the organization, knew this was an excellent opportunity to rally spirits. He had his subordinates distribute supplies in abundance, providing food and drinks for the grand feast.
Professor Song also hosted a banquet once again for those who cleared the game, the locale being the activity center in the square.
Neither Shen Mo nor Bai Youwei were particularly interested, but they attended anyway. This feast was meant not only for celebration but also to discuss the next step and to exchange the rewards from the current game, to assemble the eight puzzle pieces.
Teacher Cheng and Pan Xiaoxin also attended, even the injured Tan Xiao did.
The atmosphere was truly vibrant. They dined and drank inside the room while the lively bonfire party was just outside.
Young men were singing, dancing, shouting, and the few women meandered through the clusters of men, their laughter chimed like bells.
It has been a while since they had relaxed like this.
People lived day by day at the base without much thought, it was only when they were threatened with eviction that they realized how much the land beneath their feet meant to them.
Clearing the game was not just a morale booster, it was also a signal telling them that it’s time to unite.
…
Shen Fei was well-liked at the base, and as soon as he reached the square, he was towed off to join the frolic around the bonfire.
Tan Xiao also joined, even his bandaged chest did not dampen his love for festivity. He was surrounded by a group of people, engaging in discussions about everything under the sun, especially the game.
“…Confronting Mary and the cat was hellacious! The cat was as massive as a truck! But no fear, none at all! We had Yan brother, the forefather of setting traps! In a blink of an eye, he laid a net around them! Roasted Mary and the cat like pigs! But the most unexpected thing was…”
He slapped his thigh, spittle flying.
“Shocking as it was, Mary and the cat were not afraid of fire at all! And to top off it all, we had a traitor among us!”
“Ah? A traitor?”
“What traitor?”
“Who is it?! Who is the traitor?”
The crowd around him, listening to his story, erupted in confusion, all asking who the traitor was.
“The guy wearing white gloves!” Tan Xiao was still furious at the mention, “That guy with the beady eyes and small nose, didn’t look trustworthy at all! If we hadn’t needed more players, we wouldn’t have brought him! He didn’t think about clearing the game, even dared to covet my Sister Weiwei’s… oh, wrong, covet my Weiwei’s prop!”
Everyone looked at each other, curiously asked him: “Then what happened? Didn’t Jiang Hao come out with you guys? Did you guys get rid of him?”
“We didn’t even have time to do that!” Tan Xiao sighed, “The fire was so fierce, we barely escaped, how could we have time to deal with him? But it was so close, If we hadn’t brought the healing prop, Shen Fei would have nearly lost his life to Jiang Hao!”
Someone immediately protested: “Didn’t Jiang Hao have two buddies with him? Did they come? They should clarify! Those who joined them in the games never came out alive before!”
“Exactly! They need to explain what happened!”
“That’s right! Even if Jiang Hao died, we can’t just let the matter drop!”
The crowd was a buzz, becoming more heated.
Someone chimed in, “They left a long time ago!”
“What? When did they leave?”
“They probably heard the game was cleared, worried that Jiang Hao’s actions would expose them too, so they hurried away…”
“Those scoundrels!”
Everyone was cursing to vent their anger.
