Chapter 706

But if Lin Ye really was finished, their pressure would be reduced, and they could also strive for first place.

First place was four hundred and fifty Eerie Coins. Thanks to Lin Ye's efforts, it had grown from one hundred Eerie Coins to four hundred and fifty. If they got first place, they would receive a huge income of Eerie Coins.

Whether for personal use, handing it over to an organization, or trading with national forces, it was quite a worthwhile thing.

"Sigh, it can only be said that he was targeted by the organizers."

"Who can pass a project competition under the referee's targeting!"

"One should still keep a low profile. It was fun to mess with the organizers, but later you have to pay for it with your own failure."

……

The old players kept sighing as they spoke.

"Maybe he can make it!"

"No possibility of that."

"What if!"

"There is no 'what if'."

……

Some old players argued about it, even taking out Eerie Coins to make a bet.

Some bet that Lin Ye would complete the task and bring back the ingredients; others bet that Lin Ye would fail.

The masked host watched the players' reactions, laughing incessantly in his heart.

"I believe in him."

At this moment,

Nakiri Erina's voice pierced through the noisy chatter of the entire venue.

So many players didn't trust Lin Ye, but she, Nakiri Erina, had full confidence.

"Zero and Miss Leng will definitely bring back the ingredients."

The masked host looked over and walked toward Nakiri Erina. He stared at this blonde girl, "Guest, you have a lot of confidence in him?"

"Of course."

"But I can tell you with regret that the possibility of that guest succeeding is very, very low."

Low to the point of being near zero.

"As long as it isn't zero, he can succeed. I believe in him."

"What a pity, he isn't here. If he knew of this trust you have in him, he would surely be very happy!"

The masked host laughed, "How about this! I'll give you a chance."

He looked at Nakiri Erina, "If he fails and doesn't bring back the ingredients, according to the rules, we have the right to treat the failed guest as an ingredient, but I will specially allow you, this beautiful young lady, to join us and become one of us."

This voice was not quiet;

most of the players heard it.

They stared blankly.

You can join and become one of the organizers?

Why didn't they say so earlier?

If that were the case, the players who failed in previous projects would certainly have been willing to join. Compared to death, joining the organizers was nothing at all.

But after a while, they realized that this qualification to join the organizers was not so easily obtained.

"Pervert."

"Men are all the same."

"This guy, as expected."

……

The whispers revealed an obvious fact.

Nakiri Erina heard it, and her expression changed slightly, "I have no interest. I believe he will return."

"Since you believe, why not bet on it!"

"Bet? What benefit do I get if I win?"

One sentence actually stumped the masked host.

It seemed that for this bet, there was only the cost of Nakiri Erina losing, but no result mentioned if she won.

"What do you want?"

What did she want?

Nakiri Erina frowned slightly in thought.

What could she want?

What was she allowed to want?

More delicious ingredients? Recipes? Brand new delicious dishes?

She felt none of these things were appropriate. Not to mention whether they existed, even if they did, their value wasn't high.

They wouldn't actually be of much help to her survival in future Eerie games.

Finally,

Nakiri Erina thought of something.

"Eerie Coins."

"You want Eerie Coins?"

"Well, it's not that I want Eerie Coins, but if I win, then the Eerie Coins for the first-place prize should be increased by another three hundred and fifty."

Nakiri Erina hummed softly, her sharp eyes staring at him.

"How about it? Do you dare?"

Increase by another three hundred and fifty Eerie Coins?

This woman actually dared to propose this?

He watched, and at the same time felt the piercing gazes of the surrounding players.

Although they didn't say it, those eyes were revealing a certain fact—coward, a spineless person who doesn't dare to bet.

"It seems the Gourmet Sports Meet organizers don't have much capital, and the person in charge doesn't have the guts either. Better not bet; it'll be a laughingstock if word gets out."

"Bet."

The masked host slammed his hand down and said immediately, "I'll bet with you. If you lose, you join us, and if you win, then the first-place prize of Eerie Coins will be increased by another three hundred and fifty, reaching eight hundred."

He went all out.

He had one hundred percent certainty.

Even if he took a step back, if the first-place Eerie Coins really reached eight hundred, as long as there was no first place, these Eerie Coins would never have the possibility of going out.

"Good, it's a deal."

Nakiri Erina said.

That was all she could do. Next was to continue believing in Lin Ye, believing that Lin Ye could bring back good news.

If Lin Ye successfully brought back the matching ingredients, then... she could also be considered to have made a contribution.

Those eight hundred Eerie Coins would also have her contribution in them.

Suddenly,

the old players felt that Lin Ye returning and successfully providing the ingredients was also a good thing.

According to the judging criteria of the previous two projects, the earlier one submitted the ingredients, the more points one got. This time, Lin Ye's points would probably be at the bottom.

By relying on the results of the third project 'Hunting', they had a full possibility of catching up, or even surpassing Lin Ye.

Eight hundred Eerie Coins, a full eight hundred Eerie Coins.

"You have to come back for us!"

"We hope you return with the ingredients."

"Please, keep it up!"

……

The old players who were wavering or even hoping for Lin Ye's failure were suddenly pumped up at this moment, cheering and encouraging Lin Ye, hoping that Lin Ye could return with the ingredients.

After all, as long as Lin Ye returned, the first-place prize would be three hundred and fifty Eerie Coins more.

The cheering made Nakiri Erina feel even more embarrassed.

These old players were all self-interested; before, they all hoped Lin Ye wouldn't return, but now that Lin Ye returning meant three hundred and fifty more Eerie Coins, they were all sincerely praying for Lin Ye to return.

This reality made Nakiri Erina realize that it is very difficult to have true friendship among Eerie players in the Eerie game.
