Chapter 679: A Lot Of Small Money (1)
Shi Yao replied with an “Oh-oh”before she felt her phone vibrate.
She hurriedly ran from the game to wechat and saw a link sent to her by Mr. Number in the group.
Curious, she clicked on it and found out that it was an online competition for ‘Survival of the Jedi’hosted by a certain live streaming platform. The first prize was 500,000 in cash and four mobile phones.
Shi Yao was aware of such online competitions. It could be a promotional event organized by a live streaming platform, or it could be an event organized by some big streamers to gain fame… But, what did this have to do with her?
With this thought in mind, Shi Yao replied in the group, “What’s Wrong?”!!
[ shishi juice ] : “Boss means to ask if you’re interested in joining us to participate in this online competition?”
Shi Yao felt like she had just seen the funniest joke in the world, so she sent out a series of question marks without thinking twice:”? ? ? ?”
[ Yao loves ice cream ] : “Even though your joke was pretty good, I really didn’t laugh. I only felt cold.”
[ juice ] :”…”
[ expert of the monkeys ] : “Hahaha, you’re being despised, aren’t you? Grandson?”
[ juice ] : “Who the F * ck are you calling grandson? Grandson!”
[ expert sent by monkey ] : “I’m calling you grandson, grandson, grandson, grandson, grandson…”
[ juice ] : “My grandson is a repeater!”
“…”[111111] popped up in [ expert and juice’s N + 1 exchange of blows.
[111111]@[ Yao loves ice cream ] : “It’s not a joke.”
Perhaps it was because of [111111]’s words that juice and expert stopped bickering and returned to the main topic in the group chat.
[ expert of the monkeys ] : “That’s right, Sis Yao. It’s not a joke.”
Shi Yao casually typed: “If it’s not a joke, then it’s a joke.”
[ expert of the monkeys ] :”…”
[ juice ] : “Hahaha, grandson, the wheel of fortune has turned. Are you now walking down Grandpa’s path of retreat?”
Probably afraid of those two fools, [111111] started bickering with them once more. But before the expert could reply, [11111] suddenly popped up again: “We’re serious. We’re serious about inviting you to join us.”
We’re serious about inviting you to join us… looking at those words, Shi Yao couldn’t help but think back to the message Lin Jiage had sent her many days ago — ‘we’re serious, we’re serious about liking you.’.
For some reason, her relaxed mood from playing the game tonight suddenly turned a little gloomy.
By the time she came back to her senses, there were already a few more messages on her phone screen.
[ juice ] : “That’s right, Sis Yao. We’re serious about inviting you to join us and compete with us in the tournament.”
[ expert of the monkeys ] : “Sis Yao, we need four people to register for the tournament. So, right now, all we need is the east wind, and you’re the East Wind.”
Even though they had already confirmed that they were really trying to recruit her as a teammate, Shi Yao still felt that it was a little ridiculous. She couldn’t help but reply, “Are you sure you’re here to find teammates and not opponents?”
[ shi juice ] : “How can you say that about yourself? Sis Yao, you’re very important, alright? Without You, we wouldn’t be able to form a team. Without You, we wouldn’t be able to obtain the 500,000 yuan prize money!”
[ expert of the monkeys ] : “That’s right, that’s right! 500,000 yuan! With the four of us, we’ll split it equally, and it’ll be 125,000 yuan for each of us. That’s a lot of money…”
