Chapter 637: End of Game 2
Chapter 637 The Second Round Ends
The tracker suddenly beeped, indicating that a contestant had completed the task or needed rescue.
Su leaned over to look at the tracker in Kong's hand. The small dot representing Seno was heading towards the referee's seat.
"No need for rescue," Sora said with relief, "It looks like Seno completed the mission first."
Soon, Seno came back with the deactivated geomagnetic disruptor, delivering the goods and collecting points at the same time.
After the Traveler Team set up the camera to capture the scene, Su began the interview.
"This game is very difficult. What do you want to say about the first player to complete the task?"
"What do you think?" Seno showed a sharp look that was intimidating without even getting angry. "My friend fell on the road to victory, so I must not lose!"
Seno looked up at the scorching sky and the flying yellow sand, put his right hand on his heart and then opened it to everyone, making a magnificent oath.
"The ties of the past will open up a new future. The proof of friendship connects us. At this moment, I will not lose to anyone!"
"This is a line from my favorite work, The Summoning King, and it's exactly what I'm feeling right now."
Elhaisen's expression remained calm as always, and Nilu smiled in confusion but respect.
The corner of Kong's mouth twitched slightly. He felt that he saw the shadow of a certain lady with an eyepatch in Mondstadt in Senor.
Su and Paimon also showed speechless expressions.
Su: "Seno, what you said... Xiaoti fell down, not died."
Paimon: "Luckily, Xiaoti isn't here, or he might have hit Seno on the head."
The traveler team, which had temporarily finished their work, planned to go to Isaac's house to see Tinari and take a rest. Su lent the polyhedron to Nilu.
Nilu: "Thank you Su, it is indeed cool, but the wind seems a bit too strong."
Elhaisen adjusted the output power of the polyhedron, "Okay."
At Isaac's house, Tinari has fully recovered and is teaching Isaac some knowledge about plants.
Tinari pointed to a dining table not far away, "Are you back? Are you hungry? I bought some food."
"That's so thoughtful, Xiaoti!" Paimeng, who was already starving, was the first to sit down, and then he was dumbfounded by the table full of bean products.
Kong was also stunned for a moment, then he realized that the most productive alternative to rice in the desert is a bean crop called bald bean.
The people of Aru Village, which is located in the desert area, not only use bald beans to cook dishes, but also habitually add bald beans to rice.
Sue, on the other hand, hates almost all bean foods, especially those made with balsamic beans.
Su's evaluation of Tutudou is as follows:
"It tastes terrible! There's clearly a very stinging green smell, why do you all say you can't taste it? The name is even worse, if you eat too much you'll definitely lose your hair!"
Sora had reason to guess that Su might be allergic to bald beans.
Otherwise she wouldn't have tasted that strange flavor that no one else could sense.
Kong was just about to use the kitchen to make some food for Su, but Su stopped him.
Su: "Cooking in this weather is torture. I'll just skip a meal and consider it as losing weight."
A figure stepped into the room and said, "Since you already have a better tool, shouldn't you return the hat you don't need to me?"
"What I snatched is mine. Why should I return it?" Su righteously retorted, then remembered something and rolled his eyes. "Unless you exchange it with something else."
——*——*——
Watching Ah Mao's back as he walked into the kitchen, Paimon was full of curiosity, "Can he really cook? Is it delicious? Su, have you ever eaten it?"
Su recalled the doll's virtuous look when it was stepping on the sand, "He can do it. Many people have praised his skills."
As for whether she had eaten it...
At that time, she was in the form of a soul possessed by the doll's veil and could not eat at all.
However, the doll still makes a lot of delicious food every day and puts it in front of her to tempt her with the fragrance!
Wow, she gets angry just thinking about it! She must try the puppet's craftsmanship, and if it doesn't taste good, she will laugh at him in person!
The aroma of food gradually came from the kitchen, and soon A Mao came out holding a plain bowl.
Paimon was very curious to know what kind of food that fragrance was, but when he saw it, he was speechless.
Paimon: "Although the rice is arranged in a lotus shape, isn't this just rice soaked in tea..."
Although the rice was decorated with some seaweed and a plum, it still looked bland and perfunctory.
Kong Bang A Mao said, "Sour plums can stimulate the appetite, and eating some cold dishes to cool down when the weather is hot is also good."
Su ate the sour plum in the first bite, then dug into the rice to reveal the sweet eel meat inside.
"Oh!" Paimon suddenly realized, "The fragrance I smelled turned out to be eel meat!"
Really, this guy Ah Mao, his cooking style is always in this "sharp words but sweet words" style!
It's so awkward to always hide good intentions in unpleasant words! Can't you be more frank?
The sour plums were appetizing and the seaweed was fresh and fragrant, the tea was slightly bitter but refreshing, and the eel meat was sweet and chewy. It was her favorite type of soup with rice, and Su had a satisfying meal.
Looking at the girl eating the food he cooked seriously, A Mao's eyes were filled with a sense of satisfaction as if his wish had been fulfilled.
Su: "Good cooking skills. I'll return the hat to you." She finally ate the meal made by the doll.
Ah Mao took the hat and put it back on his head, then left with the long curtain fluttering.
Paimon felt that he couldn't understand him at all.
When Su didn't want to pay attention to him, he would take the initiative to approach her. But when Su paid attention to him, he couldn't stay for long and would take the initiative to leave.
Sora lowered his eyelashes. He could sense some of the puppet's thoughts.
He was so distant because he didn't dare to let himself indulge.
Every look he gave Su was more of a stare than a gaze.
Focused, reckless...as if he would rather the world be small and intimate, with just him and Su being there.
His current restraint and concession is only because he realizes that his mission is not yet completed and he has neither the time nor the qualifications to fight for it.
wait until……
A hand waved in front of Kong's eyes again and again, pulling his thoughts back from their flight.
Su: "Kong? What are you thinking about? Let's take a rest and then go to the desert to see how everyone is doing?"
Sora held the girl's hand and smiled, "Okay, let's go together."
——*——*——
By late at night, this game, which was extremely difficult due to the high temperature and scarce supplies, finally ended.
After two games, Seno and Leila tied for first place with 4 points each.
Next in turn are Tinari, Falushan, Kavi and Amo who has been in the game since the beginning.
Su has been insulting the organizers who designed this competition.
"Are you crazy? Have you ever felt the temperature of the desert and calculated the food and water resources needed for normal consumption?!"
"The purpose of the competition is to showcase the knowledge and abilities of the representatives of each academy, not to let the contestants challenge the limits of human beings!"
"And the location where you placed the leyline jammer was actually near an unknown ruin! The contestant fell into the depths of the ruins and couldn't even be detected by the tracker!"
"This is all caused by your failure to survey the situation in advance!"
"If we weren't all holders of the Eye of God, any ordinary person would have died long ago! Talents are not for you to use as consumables, understand?!"
"I understand, I understand, I understand!" The person in charge who was scolded by Su wiped his sweat frantically, "Sir, the Greatest Sage, you are teaching us that some unexpected mistakes did happen, but we didn't want to..."
The person in charge changed the subject and said, "Because the contestants nominated this time are all powerful holders of the Eye of God, the difficulty will be increased accordingly..."
The person in charge flattered again, "With you and the Flower Knight here, we thought everything would be safe! But we didn't expect that man proposes, God disposes, and there were still some minor mistakes..."
"It's just a small mistake." Su, who always liked to hear nice words, sneered. He was not bought at all and was too lazy to listen to the other party's blame.
"I think there's something wrong with your organization. I've already made an appointment for you to have a disciplinary officer review your case. You're welcome!"
The person in charge had a sad face and was investigated by the disciplinary officer... Who wouldn't be hurt?
