Chapter 692

Finally,

the five minutes were exceptionally long, but this group still made it.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo..."

"I'm exhausted."

The few who arrived were all exhausted and collapsed.

"Little brother, drink some water quickly. Just pay me back later, double is fine."

Saying this, a player handed his water to another player, and that player didn't even have time to think and drank it directly.

Other players, seeing this, one after another displayed their enthusiastic and hospitable side, giving water and food.

A business with no capital and ten thousand times profit.

As for not wanting to give?

Then wait to be targeted!

"Thanks, thank you very much."

After the organizers' personnel arrived, these few players finally knew why those competing players were so active and enthusiastic.

They had thought the water and food here were free of charge.

It didn't cost money, but this rule was no different from costing money.

And the weight of ingredients their group had risked their lives to bring back could be turned into an enviable amount of food and water here.

They didn't want to give it.

But facing a group of players around them like wolves and tigers, they all inwardly called out in helplessness.

At the very least, what they had drunk and eaten had to be paid back, and they even had to pay a little bit more.

"Mom was right, you can't just eat other people's food or drink other people's water."

Now, they were paying the price for it.

Hahaha.

The organizers brought the food and water given according to the regulations, and a few players began a simple distribution, but quite a bit was left over in the end.

This was what they deserved.

Suddenly, one person thought of something and immediately took out a portion and came to Lin Ye.

"Brother Ling, if it weren't for your reminder in the first event, we definitely wouldn't have passed. This bit of food and water is our thanks to you. Please be sure to accept it; don't mind that we're giving so little."

This group of people knew how to conduct themselves.

"Fine."

Lin Ye did not refuse.

Now, who would complain about having too little food and water!

Other players' attitudes toward this group changed, becoming a bit more restrained.

Before, it was the look of looking at a fat sheep; now, with Lin Ye's relationship, they really couldn't be too greedy and go to slaughter them twice more.

Old players couldn't be offended, and Lin Ye, this old player, was even more not to be offended; here, a large portion of people owed Lin Ye a favor.

What's more, Lin Ye's own strength was very strong.

If he stepped in, they were absolutely no match.

As for the old players, they also gave Lin Ye this face and wouldn't be too desperate.

Making an enemy of Lin Ye was too cost-ineffective.

Five minutes left.

Most people thought no new players would appear.

However, unexpectedly, players still appeared at the end of the field of vision.

Not just one group, at least three groups.

They were gritting their teeth and rushing with all their might.

Persist, persist again.

"Come on!"

A little girl shouted out encouragement again.

"Four minutes left, it's in time, come on!"

Many other new players also shouted.

Although they were competitors, now that the rankings were determined, the later players wouldn't affect their ranking this time. As for the competitive pressure of the later events?

That was still a long way off; who knew what the later events would be!

Three minutes.

Two minutes.

One minute.

'Tap, tap, tap...'

Several figures stumbled across the finish line.

After arriving, they collapsed one after another, but in the end, they successfully reached the finish line.

23 groups.

Initially, 35 groups participated in the second event, 'Walking', and only 23 groups successfully reached the finish line within the stipulated time.

The elimination rate was 37%.

Walking had officially ended.

The masked host from the organizers came again.

Next, it should be the announcement of the content of the third event.

……

The masked man scanned the area, and he clapped his hands, "Clap, clap."

"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to the guests present for passing the second event, Walking. Now I will begin to announce the rankings and corresponding points for the second event."

This time, the point values increased: first place is 8 points, 2nd-5th place is 7 points, 6th-10th is 6, 11th-15th is 5, and 16th to 28th is 4 points.

Following this trend, the point values of the subsequent events would get higher and higher, and it might even happen that the last round's point value would account for half of the total score.

In that case, the currently lagging groups could completely catch up and counter-kill in one fell swoop through the superior performance of the subsequent few groups.

This made it impossible to determine the final winner of this Gourmet Sports Meet even now.

Lin Ye looked at the masked man, boldly guessing whether it was intentionally targeting him; compared to the previous two sessions, the rules had been adjusted again.

He had to win first place beautifully and give these organizers a good slap in the face.

Otherwise, how could he be worthy of their targeting him so much this time!

"The second event, Walking, has officially ended... so..."

In the distance, the gasping, lagging players appeared.

But they were already late.

"W-we..."

The masked man looked at the few people and revealed a smile. "Congratulations to you all, you have already exceeded the time; the event is a failure."

A single sentence made the few people break out in a cold sweat, but they still had hope. "C-can we... continue to participate? We'll count as zero points for this event..."

"Of course you can..."

These words made everyone pause.

The few players who had risked their lives to arrive on time only felt that their previous efforts seemed to have no meaning at all.

If it only required zero points, then why were they so desperate!

"Th-thank you, w-we will definitely work hard and strive for the best later... absolutely..."

"Hard work is not needed; after all, the way you guests will participate later is in the capacity of ingredients."

In an instant, the whole scene was silent.

In the capacity of ingredients?

The ending for these failed players was to become ingredients?

Really or fake?

This was even more tragic and cruel than dying!

Some players who were just regretting that they had been too desperate were secretly glad at this moment that they had worked hard and arrived in time; otherwise, they would all have become ingredients.

"No, host, this is a joke, right!" ===== CHAPTER 693 =====
