Chapter 81
Li Yingwu wasn’t just eliminated in the show—he was also eliminated in real life by netizens.
As criticism mounted, all his past scandals were dug up, and his entire reputation collapsed.
Netizens gleefully spectated the drama:
[Flying Pig Demon]: Why did you even provoke her?
[Catfished for Three Bars of Battery]: I remember last time Yuan Feng’s downfall was caused by Xie Mi exposing him. This time her fans directly dragged Li Yingwu down too?
[Crazy Lady Pulling Noodles]: Damn, her fans’ fighting power is insane.
[Iron-Blooded Lin Daiyu]: Honestly, I watched the clip of her flipping the middle finger at the camera… it was kinda satisfying.
[Most Damaged Brain]: This sis has the strongest combat power in the industry, and her fans are right behind her.
[Radish Bro]: Straight up “don’t accept it? fight it out, life or death doesn’t matter.”
[Money Leaks by Constitution]: Can we have more people like this in the entertainment industry!!
With Li Yingwu’s collapse, the sycophants who followed him on the show couldn’t escape either. Their livestreams were flooded with scolding.
Meanwhile, the innocent Peng Lingdang—who was wronged and berated earlier—ended up under the protection of the mighty Xie-bros.
When Lingdang’s fans (“Little Ding-Dangs”) couldn’t withstand the cyber-bullying from Li Yingwu’s fans, a thunderous entrance was made: Xie-bros arrived.
[Useless things, retreat behind me!]
[I’ve survived three Internet Keyboard Warrior Championships—having no manners is my best résumé. Come on, type-war, let’s go!]
[Which stray dog is barking? Sis will tie you to the kiddie channel windmill and spin you round and round.]
The battle flipped instantly—Li Yingwu’s fans were beaten back with no power to resist, running away with their tails between their legs.
The Little Ding-Dangs cheered wildly:
[Sis! You’re my one and only sis!]
[Thank you Sister Xie! Thank you Xie bros!]
[Waaahhh our Lingdang finally got to cling to someone big!]
[Sister Xie! On behalf of Lingdang, I’ll recognize you as our Dad!]
The Little Ding-Dangs in unison: [DAD!!!!]
Meanwhile, in her room, Peng Lingdang sneezed loudly, “Huh? Who’s thinking of me?”
At this point, the game had entered its final stage.
Only 9 people remained:
Xie Mi, Shen Yanqing, Xiao Jingxi, Xu Shuangrong, Yu Jinzhe, Sangzan, Yu Qianqian, Cui Hang, Ran Jun.
[Out of 9, five are from “Love Observation.” That show’s combat strength is terrifying.]
[No wonder, all guests trained by Director Niu. Totally different level.]
[You sure they were trained by Director Niu?]
[…More like trained by Xie Mi.]
Xie Mi successfully regrouped with Sangzan at a coffee shop, waiting for the last mission announcement.
Since Sangzan’s phone had died, he went to ask the staff for a charger.
Sangzan: “Excuse me, do you have a power source?”
Staff: “Hello, I am the staff.”
Sangzan: “I meant the kind of power source you can plug into.”
Staff: “Sir, please show some respect.”
Xie Mi: “…”
…Yup, they sure know how to chat.
Ding-ding—
The final mission dropped:
[An additional 20 Hunters have been released into the park. The only way to reduce their numbers is to find weapons that can eliminate them.]
[Guests, please try your best to survive this last stage and claim victory.]
Sangzan’s eyes went wide, “Five hunters were already super scary, now there are 20 more—doesn’t that make 25?!”
Compared to his shock, Xie Mi—who already knew the plot—remained calm.
With 25 hunters chasing 9 guests, hiding alone wouldn’t work. The only solution was to find weapons and fight back.
But the park was full of danger. To move around, they needed disguises…
Five minutes later, an old granny and an old grandpa emerged from the gift shop.
The granny hobbled with a cane, the grandpa wheeled himself forward slowly in a wheelchair.
Hunters passing by looked suspicious, but ultimately didn’t stop them—catching the wrong person meant a pay cut.
Granny Xie Mi gave a sly smile.
Success.
The two, disguised, wandered boldly around the park in search of weapons—only to spot two people being chased.
It was Xu Shuangrong and her little sidekick, Cui Hang.
Xu Shuangrong’s sharp eyes spotted Xie Mi. Her apricot eyes widened, and she rushed toward Xie Mi in panic, “Teacher Xie! Run, hunters are coming!!”
Identity exposed, Xie Mi: “Gee, thanks!!”
Sangzan: “Xie Teacher! What do we do?!” (panicking)
Seeing hunters close in, Xie Mi flung away the cane and shouted, “What else can we do—RUN!!”
She rolled forward dramatically, “Rolling Granny!!”
Sangzan grabbed the wheelchair, sliding after her, “Sliding Grandpa!!”
And so a granny and a grandpa tumbled ahead with front flips, backflips, 270-degree twists, handstands, wall-kicks…
They disappeared from the hunters’ sight in a showy blur.
Xu Shuangrong: “???”
In the end, idol boy Cui Hang blocked for her, allowing Xu Shuangrong to survive.
The livestream chat was already howling with laughter:
[LMAO HAHAHAHAHA]
[You two need to stop, omg]
[Agile Oldies™!]
[I’m in class laughing like crap, send help]
[Disabled-but-determined Granny—once she throws the cane, she’s a weapon herself!]
[Do hunters get workplace injury insurance from this show?!]
Though they escaped, Xie Mi and Sangzan got separated.
So be it—at this point regrouping didn’t matter. Survival was the only rule.
Xie Mi arrived at the haunted house zone. Without hesitation, she walked inside.
“Xie Mi?”
From the shadows came a familiar voice. Xiao Jingxi emerged, eyes lighting up in joy, “It’s actually you. I didn’t expect we’d meet at the very last stage. Seems like fate.”
Xie Mi: “…”
She turned on her heels and bolted.
Anyone who teamed up with Xiao Jingxi ended up eliminated. Damn it, he was a curse!
“Why are you running! Xie Mi!” Xiao Jingxi chased after her like a ghost.
Zigzagging away, she finally shook him off and stumbled into a dilapidated lab.
Just as she began searching for weapons—she ran into yet another familiar face.
“Big sister?”
Yu Jinzhe looked at her, instantly softening into a gentle smile, “Did you come here to find me?”
Xie Mi: “?”
Then she remembered—Yu Jinzhe had spammed her with messages earlier, saying he was hiding safely in the haunted house and that she should come join him.
She had only glanced once before blocking him.
“You keep hiding here then. I’m leaving.”
Xie Mi turned to go. She wasn’t about to tell him that in the last ten minutes, hunters would do a full sweep of the entire park—the haunted house wouldn’t be spared.
It looked safe now, but would become a death trap.
“Big sister!”
Yu Jinzhe suddenly grabbed her hand, face full of hurt, “I came on this show just to spend time with you. Why won’t you give me a chance?”
But before Xie Mi could answer, a low, lazy voice spoke up first, “Because big sis doesn’t like drinking green tea.”
