TISHW 78




Chapter 78 The Secret of the Treasure 4

Jiang Yu's conditions were indeed a bit tempting. Mainly because it was almost certain that the first step of deciphering the treasure map lies in the book she got.

Although they agreed in the morning that one person could read it for ten minutes, the current paragraph on the treasure map obviously needed careful consideration. Ten minutes may not be enough. What if it was needed later?

Of course, the main thing was their puzzle content...

While everyone was contemplating, Jiang Yu suddenly remembered something. She sat up again and started writing on the cardboard.

Qin Shiyu simply stood behind her and watched. Whenever she wrote a word, he would read it, "Help find a partner?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Jian Cang said, "Why do we have to provide a partner when forming an alliance?"

【Hahaha, Elder Sister Yu, are you planning to do something impossible to retaliate against the director team? 】

【Pass it down, "All Rounder" is going to be changed into a dating show. 】

【Dating these people in front? I can! ! ! 】

【I’m signing up too! ! 】

Only then did Jiang Yu realize that what she had written was ambiguous, so she directly drew an inverted V in front of "partner" and wrote "jigsaw alliance".

Qin Shiyu raised his eyebrows, "Help find a jigsaw alliance partner?"

Ye Yuanyu said, "Do you know the content of our puzzle?" 

As he spoke, he looked at Shu Hua.

Shu Hua didn't shrink at all. Jiang Yu nodded, "En, I have indeed seen her puzzle. It’s only one part. Maybe half or one third of it, definitely not one sixth. What’s more, it’s still an individual battle. Then your puzzle cannot be a whole one. There’s a high probability of 2-3 pieces."

"In this way, each puzzle piece is likely to represent a clue. Are you sure you want to share it?"

Of course they weren’t sure. Who knew what the next task would be? What if there was a confrontation? Wouldn't it be easy for them to lose their advantage if their information was exposed?

Jiang Yu said, "So, if you want to confirm the alliance partner. To do that, you have to look at each other's puzzle pieces. If you find the right one at the first time, it will be fine. If you don't find the right one, your clues will be revealed and may fall behind in subsequent tasks."

"Of course, some people may be more lucky. While others leak information to each other, they strike gold. It depends on which of you has the sacrifice mentality."

Audiences who knew them well immediately responded on the barrage:

【This is definitely not the case. 】

【At least in this party, they don’t sacrifice mentality, hahaha. 】

【It’s already pretty good if they don't create pits for each other. In the end, they will probably start to pull each other to the limit. 】 

Zhou Feifei said, "You mean you want to look at everyone's puzzle pieces and then tell everyone who is on the same team as who."

Jiang Yu nodded, "Why else would I only form an alliance alone? It’s also being responsible for you."

【It’s here! Elder Sister Yu is acting serious when talking nonsense. You are clearly doing it for yourself. 】

Zhou Feifei grinned, "You make it sound nice. Aren’t you doing this to see all of our puzzle pieces?"

Jiang Yu laughed, "I offer unlimited book access. Asking to see the puzzles isn't it too much? We are mutually beneficial. You can't morally kidnap me and ask me to contribute for free."

Zhou Feifei was rendered speechless.

She heard Jiang Yu continuing, "If it's for my own sake, I only need to accept an alliance between many of you. Wouldn't it be less trouble to look at the puzzle together?"

"Of course, I’m also saving trouble now. Forming an individual alliance with me now, you can quickly complete the pairing. This saves the time of testing and dragging it out. I can also understand the complete picture early and can carry out the next task."

She glanced at them with a smile and said in a nice and sweet tone, "So afraid of me knowing your mission clues? Do you think that 2 or 3 of you together aren’t as good as me alone?"

How can they endure this? Qin Shiyu immediately said, "Come and form an alliance."

At the same time, Jian Cang spoke, "I'll do it!"

Qin Shiyu turned to look at him. Jian Cang subconsciously shrank his neck. After realizing this, he said, "Why should I feel guilty?"

【That's right, our Jian Darling isn’t guilty. He can stand up against Qin Shiyu! 】

Jiang Yu looked at the two of them, "You can use rock, paper, scissors to decide the order."

Xiang Chen grinned, "Then you two decide first. I'll form an alliance with Jiang Yu first."

Of course Jian Cang didn't allow it, "Do you know first come, first served? I'm first!"

Qin Shiyu was already standing directly in front of Jiang Yu, "Come, what should we do?"

Seeing this, Zhou Feifei smiled and sighed, "As expected of the ocean queen, truly understands men."

Although she used a joking tone, the group clearly noticed the malice in it. Jiang Yu grinned, "Don’t limit the gender. Women who only understand men aren’t good ocean queen."

Shu Hua immediately said, "I can, Bigshot!" 

Then she pounced on her, "Will you ally with me first?"

Qin Shiyu raised his hand and grabbed her collar, "Off to one side." 

Then he said to Jiang Yu, "I used to be a little white face. I'm very good at coaxing people. Can you give me priority?"

Ye Yuanyu spoke, "If you put it this way, I was supported by a rich woman..."

Qin Shiyu looked back at him, "She's not a rich woman."

Ye Yuanyu said, "How is she not? She is the richest among us, right?"

Of course he was referring to points.

Jian Cang said, "Putting it this way, aren't you the richest person? You didn't perform last time. Nor did you  treat us to the meal... Is it appropriate for a rich man to be supported by a rich woman?"

Qin Shiyu narrowed his eyes, "Rich man, your hobbies are quite special. Why don't you make up for the show that you didn't perform last time. See if you can please our Elder Sis Yu?"

Jiang Yu shivered when he called "Elder Sister Yu" and looked at him in shock. Others rubbed their arms in unison.

The barrage were bursting with laughter:

【Qin Shiyu, don’t be like this. You’re scaring us. 】

【Hahaha, it’s rare to see our Elder Sister Yu being frightened. 】

【Elder Sis Yu! LOL. I even got goosebumps. 】

【Am I the only one who cares about Ye Yuanyu’s performance? I can! 】

【Recalling Mr. Ye’s chest muscles, drool...】

【The official edited version won’t do. Have to rely on the netizens. Zoom in, slow down. and display it 360 degrees, quite suitable for ladies like us. 】

【I knew it. This scene wouldn’t pass so easily. The best way for Ye Yuanyu to cover up his dark history was to cover it up with new ones. So hurry up! 】

Others at the scene caught on and immediately expressed their approval. Even Xiang Chen spoke out, "That T-shirt probably haven't been thrown away." 

As he was about to go upstairs, Ye Yuanyu latched onto his neck again.

Everyone couldn't stop laughing. Apparently after watching the replay, they all understood the whole story.

Jian Cang grinned, "So the rich woman who supported you before was Shu Hua?"

【Now that you said that... Huahua, you guys play quite wildly, to even tearing clothes off. 】

【Above, there is something wrong with you...】

【Ah, I seem to be a little yellow...】

Shu Hua blushed at their laughter. In order to divert their attention, she stepped forward and hugged Jiang Yu while Qin Shiyu wasn't paying attention, "Elder Sis Yu, look at me. I am your no gender limit..."

Then she turned to Xiang Chen and Jian Cang, "You two are no competition!"

Xiang Chen said, "Who said? To be honest with you, before I faked my qualifications, I was a little white face with a very good temper."

Jian Cang followed straightaway, "Then I won't hide it from you. Before I started playing fake matches, I was fully supported by a rich woman. I have a very cheerful personality!"

【Hahahaha, these crazy people. I have some doubts about their mental state. Why are they comparing themselves to this? 】

【Everyone in All Rounder has the disease of "if you don't compete, you will die". Anyway, everything must be ranked. 】

【But it’s settled. All the top students are 8G surfers. There’s nothing they don’t know. 】

Jiang Yu looked at Zhou Feifei, "Feifei, you..."

Zhou Feifei waved her hands with a fake smile, "I won't compete with you. My one isn’t funny."

The cheerful atmosphere instantly halted. The audience's dissatisfaction broke out:

【What’s with her? She clearly brought it up first. She can talk  about ocean queen but when it’s her turn, it’s not funny? 】

【Even double standards aren’t like this, right? 】

【Why do I feel like something is up with her? In other variety shows, I saw that she take jokes. Why is she so sensitive at the mention of her donations being fraudulent? 】

Zhou Feifei’s fans couldn't resist popping up:

【How can orphanage matters be used as a joke? 】

【That’s right. It’s better to be kind toward this kind of matter...】

The audience didn’t take the bait:

【Haha, she was very kind when she mentioned ocean queen matter. The other party hadn’t even opened her mouth and it’s not kind? 】

【Can’t use it as a joke, but can use it as a protection talisman, right? 】

【I had wanted to say it for a long time. When it is needed, she was born as an orphan and has no background. Anyone who is better than her will bully her; when it’s not needed, no one should mention it. 】

【Won’t let others mention the orphanage? But everyone knows that she is an orphan because she emphasized it time and time again, no? 】

【Why was she so high-profile when the donation was publicized? People are unkind if they make a joke and question it? 】

【Besides, this is an opportunity to clarify. Why is she so secretive...】

In the camera, Jiang Yu awkwardly said, "I want to ask you if you want to form an alliance."

【Haha...so they didn't have the intention to ask her about the donation. 】

【So she must be feeling guilty. 】

There was a lot of noise on the barrage and the audience was annoyed:

【I sincerely suggest that the program team carefully selects the guests when inviting guests for the next episode. I had a slight change of opinion about Zhou Feifei in the last episode, and here it is again. 】

【That's right, she has been targeting Jiang Yu. If you want to be the leader, you must had that ability. 】

And because the atmosphere at their scene wasn't very good, Jiang Yu got up and went directly to the living room, "Anyone who is willing to form an alliance, come and find me."

Except for Zhou Feifei, everyone else followed.

Then there was a fight at the door over order.

The barrage returned to cheerfulness: 【Anyway, no matter whether there is a reason or not, competition is the right thing. 】

【Speaking of it, doesn't it look like Elder Sister Yu’s concubine selection scene, hahaha. 】

【Yes! Come, come, place bets! See who might become our Brother-in-law! 】

【Hahaha, I bet on God Yu! The tit-for-tat duel between a crazy man and a rebellious woman. What a feel. 】

【I bet Ye Yuanyu. The cool school sweetheart and the well-behaved school beauty. It’s also super sweet! 】

【I’m betting on Lawyer Xiang. Wouldn’t a gentle barrister and a sly and well-behaved school girl be better? 】

【Our Jian Darling isn’t bad either. A cheerful little puppy and a slightly bad girl. 】

【You guys are too normal. I am different. I bet Shu Hua, the hilarious younger sister and the reliable and calm elder sister. Ahhhh, my hands are itchy. I want to write. 】

【The pen for you guys. Go and write quickly! 】

A melee of betting began on the barrage. Zhou Feifei couldn't join them, so she had to pretend to be playful and adjust the atmosphere by herself, "Anyway, Jiang Yu will pair up the five of them. The remaining one who hasn’t formed a group is my alliance partners. Jiang Yu is too strong. I got to at least hide a piece of information and struggle for a while."

Except for Zhou Feifei's fans who praised her for being smart, other viewers didn't feel anything at all. Some viewers even said: 【Blindly Guessing Sister Yu doesn't care about your one information at all 】

【That's right, she is a woman who can skip obstacles. 】

Zhou Feifei sat aside and studied the puzzle. Then she looked at the people at the door who were using rock, paper, scissors to decide the order. She didn't understand why her alliance plan was disintegrating before it could work out. Jiang Yu didn't make a fool of herself. Instead, it was herself who fell into embarrassment again. She could only look at the camera and muttered helplessly, "Didn't we agree to form an alliance? Now they go back on their word so quickly? Alas, it seemed that I was deceived by them. I still need to grow up."

【LOL, agreed on forming an alliance? How was it agreed? How does the alliance work? 】

【Forming alliances with empty words in All Rounder isn’t popular. Got to put something on the table. You can't always count on moral kidnapping. 】

【More importantly, Jiang Yu had already predicted your so-called alliance. 】

The few people at the door decided on the winner. Qin Shiyu was the first to go in. He handed the puzzle to Jiang Yu and said directly, "Do you need an undercover agent?"

Jiang Yu:……

  Audiences:【……】

【I forgot that this guy is also good at predicting things. He predicted Jiang Yu's prediction. 】

【So the extreme pulling around is about to begin? 】

【What are you talking about? This is obviously another attempt to form an alliance. 】

【Tsk, tsk, God Yu appeared so worthless. He is indeed the material to be Brother-in-law. The official CP has the most confidence. 】

Qin Shiyu said with a smile, "I’m used to being a little white face and like the feeling of getting something for nothing." 

He analyzed his pro for her, "You’re forming individual alliances because you want to prevent others from joining together to form a 1 vs. 6 alliance situation, right?"

"After all, according to the intention of the director team, we will see each other's information during the team formation. We will probably form an alliance together in the end. So you use this method to keep everything in your control and can put distance between them at any time."

"Both Jian Cang and Shu Hua are easily exposed. Everyone can guess that they are your undercover agents. I am different. They all think that I am your competitor. This way can crush the director team’s suppression conspiracy against you."

Jiang Yu felt a little moved when she heard this, "How can I trust you?"

Qin Shiyu sighed and put a sad expression on his face, "You have my points in your pocket. Doesn’t your conscience hurt when you say this?"

Jiang Yu:……

She almost forgot that she had been keeping the points for him from the last episode.

【Hahaha, here it comes, Qin Shiyu’s alliance method. The last episode was the threat and extortion method. Is this episode a moral kidnapping method? 】

【ROFL, it used to be very difficult for people to form alliances with him. Encountering Jiang Yu, he offered freely help to the point of paying out of his own pocket. 】

【It’s settled. This is our Brother-in-law! 】

【Above, don’t say it too early. I think we can talk about it after watching it all. 】

Jiang Yu touched the points in the small bag and felt that having all his points with her was indeed a bargaining chip, so she nodded, "Okay, let's play it by ear."

Qin Shiyu asked, "What about Shu Hua and Jian Cang?"

"En, they are all undercover," Jiang Yu sighed, "I’m accustomed to being an ocean queen, can’t have only youl." 

Qin Shiyu:......

【Hahahaha, it’s rare for my God Yu to be so proactive and isn’t only one in the end? 】

【Hey, our Elder Sister Yu is the ocean queen. How can there only be one? Of course, adults don’t choose and instead take all! 】

【No more. There are only seven people in total. One mastermind and three undercovers. The remaining three aren’t one group. Are you top students too free? 】

After a long while, Qin Shiyu smiled slightly, "Okay."

But when Qin Shiyu came out and passed by Jian Cang, Jian Cang couldn't help but shrink his neck. He went to the living room and saw Jiang Yu and blurted out, "Elder Brother Shiyu is so scary. Does he know that I am your undercover and is ready to kill me?"

Jiang Yu replied, "No."

Jian Cang said warily, "I think he will."
