What is the elimination round? It means that most adventurers will die.

Another thing, she didn’t know if she and Wei Wenlan would be separated.

Even if she made some moves to protect Wei Wenlan, it shouldn’t be too obvious. If she can protect him within the rules, she will do so.

Therefore, earning more coins is very necessary.

The hoop throw returned to Huo Jingchen and the others. Unfortunately, this time Huo Jingchen only hooked a bowl of mixed noodles.

He sighed, went to the owner to get a bowl of mixed noodles to eat.

Then it was Qin Lin’s turn. She took a deep breath, tossed the hoop, and even closed her eyes. When she opened them, she found she had actually hit the 300 coins, and her smile broadened, which made Huo Jingchen happy too. Qin Lin’s subsequent hoop results: empty, empty, empty, empty, an apple.

Seeing it was just an apple, Qin Lin breathed a sigh of relief. It wouldn’t fill her up, so she could continue throwing.

Next, it was Bai Qiaoqian’s turn: empty, empty, 100 coins, empty, 200 coins, empty, a plate of steamed bread.

Bai Qiaoqian’s face stiffened, after a plate of steamed bread, it would be impossible to eat anything else.

She held the steamed bread and walked over to Wei Yao: "Brother Yao, can you eat more? But this time I hit 300 coins, thanks to your help eating earlier, otherwise I couldn’t continue. This is your credit too. I’ll transfer 150 coins to you, don’t refuse, it should be split evenly."

"I can still eat." Wei Yao exhaled a long breath, "Let me go throw first, then we can eat together."

"Okay."

He thought Bai Qiaoqian was indeed different, even though many people didn’t like her personality. But just because Bai Qiaoqian didn’t let him work for nothing and even shared the reward, it showed she was a good person.

Because of this, he was very willing to help solve these things.

His luck wasn’t very good, he hadn’t hit any coins yet.

Wei Yao’s luck wasn’t great, and this time he hit a plate of snacks. He took the snacks and steamed bread to the side to eat. Bai Qiaoqian didn’t queue again but went over to accompany him and even helped him eat the snacks. It was quite a while before she finished a piece of snack.

Even so, the emotional value was full, at least Wei Yao enjoyed it very much.

"I suddenly realize her skill level is quite high." Wei Wenlan whispered to Ah Chen.

Ah Chen glanced over there, then withdrew his gaze: "Of course."

In this kind of place, just exploiting people, even fools wouldn’t be willing, let alone Wei Yao who isn’t particularly foolish. And unless there’s no other choice, Bai Qiaoqian wouldn’t do anything bad to Wei Yao. Anyway, Wei Yao didn’t really lose out on this hoop throwing matter.

Soon it was Wei Wenlan’s turn. Unfortunately, on the fifth throw, she hit a plate of food.

Bai Xingwen hit food on his seventh throw.

Next was Ah Chen, who first hooked 1000 coins, stunning the entire room, even Wei Yao, who was eating, widened his eyes in disbelief at such luck!

Wei Wenlan clapped her hands and cheered, shaking Ah Chen: "That’s amazing, have you practiced before?"

"I’ve practiced shooting." Ah Chen said, the commissioner indeed practiced shooting.

"Right, right, how did I forget about that," Wei Wenlan nodded quickly, she also knew this, just didn’t play this, didn’t follow, "Go on, go on, get that 500 coins."

Huo Jingchen and Qin Lin were watching Ah Chen, wondering if she could hook anything else?

Ah Chen wanted to throw the second hoop, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Can I hook the same place multiple times?"

The owner was stunned and instinctively wanted to say no.

But an NPC spoke out: "Yes, someone used two hoops to hook a bowl of noodles before, resulting in eating two bowls."

The owner glared at the NPC, and could only reluctantly say: "Yes."

Ah Chen didn’t care what others thought, within the rules, she was skilled in earning more coins, using no other methods, just accurate hooping.

In fact, even ordinary people, with some training, can be very accurate, and those with some talent, even more accurate, hitting every time isn’t an exaggeration.

The next nine hoops, Ah Chen hooked all to the 1000 coins.

The crowd cheered, only the owner looked pained as he handed out coins.

No need to feel sorry, Ah Chen didn’t feel sorry for him, he’s just an NPC, quickly hand out the money.

But she didn’t plan to do a second round, knowing when to stop.

Then the owner announced a cap on grand slams, meaning she couldn’t participate further.

coins, she checked the store, enough for Wei Wenlan to buy plenty of life-saving items.

"Chenchen, you’re amazing." Wei Wenlan’s eyes sparkled, "When we get out, I’ll practice shooting too."

"If you want to be good at hoop throwing, practicing hoop throwing directly is better."

"But shooting is cooler!"

Ah Chen didn’t say more, if she liked it, she should learn it then.

Huo Jingchen was slightly lost hearing the two walk away.

This side of Li Chen, he naturally had never seen before, only now realizing how little he knew about her.

Of course, he thought more about how with Li Chen’s ability, her chances of surviving out seemed quite high.

Bai Qiaoqian also stared at Ah Chen’s back, with a hint of regret in her eyes.

Such a person wouldn’t be easy to approach, she had some skill in judging people, and here only Wei Yao was easier to deceive, the others were all sharp.

Wei Wenlan was rather innocent, but she wasn’t lacking in vigilance, especially with Li Chen by her side, she dared not provoke them.

She wondered how Wei Yao and the others managed to have a fallout with Li Chen. With this kind of strong support, shouldn’t they be holding on tightly?

Ah Chen didn’t find any suitable projects to participate in, but Wei Wenlan and Bai Xingwen tried a few challenges in the afternoon and gained some results.

In the evening, everyone returned.

Judging by their faces, they all seemed to have gained something.

Ah Chen was silent, it seemed the next stage was going to be full of danger, probably the elimination round she knew about. Giving the adventurers so many rewards was clearly to help them face the crisis in the next world.

Rather kindhearted.

Both teams knew about Ah Chen’s earnings of 10000 coins from hoop throwing, and looked at her differently.

Before nightfall, the two teams gathered once more.

With more items in hand now, it’d be no problem to go out at night.

As night was about to fall, the discussion ended, and everyone returned to their rooms.

"Sister Chenchen, it’s not safe here at night, don’t go out, and don’t open the door for anyone." Qu Rou’er reminded once again at the room door.

Ah Chen agreed, and Qu Rou’er left.

"So, will someone knock on the door tonight?" Wei Wenlan propped her chin with her hand, "Feels like I won’t sleep well," then collapsed onto the bed, "Better sleep a little while it’s quiet."

The village returned to silence, the atmosphere particularly eerie.

Ah Chen lay down, but didn’t fall asleep, the two fake vases by the window were still talking. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Bro, she’s even more formidable than we imagined, if you don’t act soon, she’ll leave after five stages."

Bai Chao: "Stop nagging."

He wanted to act too, but how? Suddenly appear in front of her, wouldn’t she think he’s crazy?

Five stages? Only need to pass five stages to leave? But Ah Chen captured this information, it’s not too many.

Not knowing how much time passed, Wei Wenlan’s voice suddenly spoke up: "There’s no sound yet, tonight is too quiet."

Ah Chen was about to speak when knocking sounds were heard, faint cries for help followed: "Help."

"Help me."

Qin Lin tried to turn on the light, but it didn’t work, the power went out again.

The people from the two rooms met, the cries for help outside continued, knocking on the door from time to time.

Wei Yao went and knocked on Granny Li and Qu Rou’er’s doors, as expected no response, unknown if they were inside or had gone out.

"What should we do?" Wei Yao asked.

Let someone in, or ignore it?

"If we help, who knows what might happen afterward. If we don’t help, we can’t go out either." Huo Jingchen was also conflicted, "Let’s all think for a bit, and vote in a moment."

Ten minutes later, everyone decided to observe first, letting someone in without knowing anything was too dangerous.

Ah Chen didn’t care either way.

Another half hour passed, the sound was gone, and silence filled the air.

They were about to discuss whether to take a look outside or return to their rooms, when knocking was heard again.

At the same time, a familiar voice called out: "It’s me."

It was Shi Lingmeng’s voice.

"We’re planning to take a look, Brother Yao, are you coming?" Bai Qiaoqian’s voice followed.
