He had well-maintained long hair, handsome features, and not a hint of femininity; the long hair instead added an air of mystery to him.
At this table, there was only Jiang Qi, whom he didn’t recognize, and Jiang Qi certainly didn’t recognize him. Yan Chuan felt more at ease when facing Jiang Qi.
When it was his turn, Jiang Qi naturally took back his gaze and focused intently on the spinning wheel.
The little ghost card in his hand was also put away, gently pressed on the table, his long fingers resting on it.
Jiang Qi’s skin was pale, exhibiting a kind of pallor that came from rarely seeing the sun, making the clown tattoo on the back of his hand even more conspicuous.
Was he… a magician?
Yan Chuan guessed to himself.
The pointer came to a stop, landing squarely on a red section.
Words slowly appeared on the display screen to show the task.
“Please use the second card obtained by the contestant.”
Jiang Qi raised an eyebrow.
Yan Chuan was taken aback as well.
Use the obtained card?
He had not received any card props in the script, but he knew that props acquired in escape variety shows were usually very useful; there were both attack and defense types, and a variety of others.
The closest he had come to card props was in the “Apartment No. 13” script.
Tang Zhen, who was playing his “lover” at that time, had used a hypnosis card on him.
Recalling some not-so-pleasant memories, Yan Chuan frowned slightly.
A gaze from across the table was particularly intense.
Yan Chuan didn’t even need to look to know it was Tang Zhen.
Feeling a bit sulky, he pressed his lips together and lowered his head, unwilling to meet Tang Zhen’s eyes.
Did players like him, who had much more experience and many cards, find it fun to bully newcomers?
He only realized while watching the live stream that his memory loss was because Tang Zhen had used a hypnosis item on him to complete a task.
To complete a task, he had also expended an important item on him.
At that time, Yan Chuan wasn’t clear on Tang Zhen’s specific mission until he remembered with the urges in the comments.
As his secret lover, Tang Zhen’s task was probably to take “intimate photos” of him.
They could cooperate, but after thinking about it, Yan Chuan felt that if he agreed to cooperate with Tang Zhen, it wouldn’t be possible for him to assist in completing that kind of task.
Wearing a gaudy, revealing dress and posing in such ways in front of the camera…
That was beside the point.
Yan Chuan stared blankly at the pristine tablecloth, as if trying to look a hole through it.
After several scripts, he had mostly put Tang Zhen’s absurd behavior out of his mind. But Tang Zhen appearing in the villa with Dan Qi inevitably stirred up some not-so-pleasant memories for Yan Chuan.
However, he still remembered that he needed to complete the special variety assessment and needed to focus on the spinning wheel game.
Jiang Qi also made a move on the other side.
He whispered an “apology,” tapping the card with his fingertips, then said in a voice loud enough for everyone at the table to hear, “My second card is rather special.”
Yan Chuan blinked.
Jiang Qi appeared to be quite at ease, calm since he entered, looking much like a seasoned player; it turned out he really had props.
With two or more items, the task rating must be good.
Moreover, when Yan Chuan looked at forum guides, he learned that the chance of dropping items in dangerous scripts was higher.
In the previous scripts he experienced, the danger levels were not very high.
Yan Chuan thought about his own clear experiences… it was normal not to have any props.
Instead, he had gained some unrelated buffs like “beauty” and “charismatic.”
However, was this mission deliberately designed by the escape variety show? To let them understand the strength of the other contestants?
Yan Chuan felt a bit worried.
Also, there were lethal items among the props; asking Jiang Qi to use a card now wouldn’t cause casualties, would it?
Without realizing it, Yan Chuan looked at Jiang Qi.
Just now his expression was strange; he raised an eyebrow, apologized, and revealed that his props were quite peculiar.
This seemed to imply… it wasn’t dangerous, but the prop’s function was uncommon?
Yan Chuan watched as Jiang Qi’s fingertips slowly tapped on the tabletop.
Suddenly, a “ding” resounded in his mind.
“Contestant number 43786, your points have been deducted by one hundred.”
A cold mechanical voice broadcasted, notifying Yan Chuan of the points decrease.
Yan Chuan’s eyes widened.
He immediately looked at the others, discovering they too raised their eyebrows, seemingly having received the same notification.
No, it wasn’t just the contestants at their table; others at different tables were also looking over.
Someone asked, “Who used the prop? Or is it a task requirement?”
After scattered discussions, Jiang Qi raised his voice.
His tone was somewhat cold, deep like a certain instrument: “It was me; the escape variety requires me to use the second card.”
Jiang Qi’s tone was very calm, and his introduction was simple.
“This card allows me to obtain items from other contestants.”
“Radiation range: All contestants present.”
Low curses emerged from the crowd.
Yan Chuan understood; they were participating in a tense offline variety show, and suddenly someone used a collective card to acquire points from all present.
He didn’t yet know how much others had lost, but losing a hundred points wasn’t small.
Yan Chuan glanced at Jiang Qi.
Because the latter continued to speak.
“There’s another segment to the card in the magic act,” Jiang Qi spoke slowly, his tone deep like a musical instrument: “Select a lucky audience member and receive a gift from the magician.”
