Chapter 732

Everyone in the venue looked at Lin Ye, watching him pick up ingredients and put them into his mouth to taste; everyone was stunned, unable to make a sound.

Why?

Why would Lin Ye do this?

Lin Ye had absolutely no reason to do so.

A group of players racked their brains but couldn't think of a reason.

And the masked host, after a brief moment of astonishment, revealed a smile.

He had thought of 'moral kidnapping,' letting Lin Ye help all the players to test for poison, but considering that no one would be so stupid, how could anyone test for poison for others?

It was a life-or-death matter; no one was willing.

But the situation was that he moral-kidnapped Lin Ye, and Lin Ye didn't take action to kill the failed players, but instead started tasting the ingredients himself.

Watching Lin Ye eat one ingredient after another, the masked host was overjoyed.

"It's over."

"He's dead for sure."

Some ingredients were poisonous, and while the toxicity wasn't particularly strong, they were hallucinogenic and affected the brain nerves; once eaten, it would be hard to have normal human thinking and consciousness for days.

Some ingredients needed to be eaten in a certain amount to take effect, while some ingredients could kill upon eating, requiring very little amount.

There were even ingredients eroded by the Eerie aura, with high concentration; once eaten, one would suffer the influence of Eerie transformation and become an Eerie monster.

And Lin Ye was eating them one by one now.

Those poisonous ingredients were unavoidable.

Even if he didn't die, he wasn't far from death.

The masked host suddenly saw Lin Ye pick up a flower-like ingredient.

Eerie Man Flower.

Tasting even a little bit could affect the spirit and cause irreversible damage; the more one ate, the faster one would become stupid. Even for Eerie, this kind of ingredient, except for a very few that wouldn't be too affected due to their own characteristics, other Eerie wouldn't eat it at all.

And Lin Ye was going to eat this Eerie Man Flower now.

Good.

Good, good, good!

The masked host exclaimed that it was great; Lin Ye, this eyesore of a player, would become a madman, a fool, and the direction of this fourth cooking project would return to the future he had set.

The future he craved had appeared once again.

The masked host had never thought that happiness and joy would come so quickly.

A good thing, a great thing.

His eyes stared fixedly, and even the mask couldn't hide the excitement bursting from his gaze, watching Lin Ye pluck a petal of the Eerie Man Flower and slowly put it into his mouth.

At this moment, he was excited and almost shouted out.

But he held back; he was worried that because he was too excited, Lin Ye would spit out the petal.

He still needed to endure, endure until Lin Ye ate the second one.

The next second,

the masked host saw Lin Ye pluck the second petal and stuff it into his mouth, his expression seeming somewhat enjoyable and happy.

Good, good, good.

It was affecting his nerves, hallucinations were appearing; at this moment, Lin Ye had already fallen into the dreamlike scene constructed by the Eerie Man Flower.

"Hahaha..."

At this moment,

the masked host finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

In less than ten seconds, for him, every second of endurance was torture; now he could finally let go and vent loudly.

"Those who do evil will not live."

Once these words were out,

the players' expressions changed one after another.

This was the first time they had seen the masked host's excited, hideous appearance; this was his true self at this moment, because Lin Ye had caused trouble repeatedly, and at this moment, he revealed his ugliest side to Lin Ye.

And why would he reveal it?

The reason was too simple.

The ingredient Lin Ye was eating now definitely had problems.

Poison? It was likely a deadly poison, or even a tragic poison that would make one's life worse than death after eating.

That black flower absolutely couldn't be chosen.

"Brother Zero, it's over."

"Why did Brother Zero go to taste the ingredients for no reason?"

"Could it be that Brother Zero decided to taste the ingredients to judge whether they were poisonous for our sake?"

"This... this can't be, right! If Brother Zero was that kind of person, he could have completely accepted the host's proposal just now!"

……

……

Discussions continued, and the players were constantly guessing the reason for Lin Ye doing this.

Many people sighed and exclaimed in regret; they didn't expect Lin Ye to suddenly do something that was completely against his own interests. Naive? He should be a bit stupid!

But they also knew that if it weren't for Lin Ye's stupidity, they wouldn't have been able to walk until now.

And the veteran players who were dedicated to winning first place had regrets, but they were more joyful.

Lin Ye, the strongest competitor, was finished; victory would be produced among them.

He had confidence in dealing with the other veteran players.

"I will remember this sacrifice of yours."

"I will definitely take first place beautifully."

Several veteran players were full of energy; now that Lin Ye was going to be eliminated due to poisoning, even if he wasn't eliminated, he couldn't possibly get a good result, so...

They started looking forward to the moment of their victory.

Lin Ye noticed the strange gazes from around him; he held the Eerie Man Flower, plucked another petal with his right hand, and stuffed it into his mouth.

He ate while watching, and at the same time, he remembered the masked host's words.

"The taste is not bad."

"Do you want to try some?"

Saying this, Lin Ye walked toward the masked host and tried to stuff a petal into the masked host's mouth.

The masked host retreated quickly, not giving Lin Ye any chance to stuff it in.

He didn't dare to touch this Eerie Man Flower at all.

'Ta, ta, ta...'

The masked host retreated several steps.

"Come and eat some."

"No, no need."

"I suddenly thought of another way to distinguish whether ingredients are poisonous."

This sentence immediately opened up a new line of thought.

Whatever ingredient the organizers' staff didn't dare to eat must be poisonous.

The masked host also realized this point, "Forcing staff members to face punishment by the rules."

Was this rule real or fake?

At least in the second project, 'Brisk Walking,' players beat the staff, but didn't encounter any punishment from the rules.

That matter seemed to have no impact at all.

"If players act violently, staff members can defend themselves."

At this moment, the masked host calmed down.

They needed to follow the rules, but they were also protected by the rules.

If players used violence, they could also counterattack, and would even receive the blessing of the rules' power; the players would not be their match.

The masked host was now looking forward to Lin Ye using violence, to trigger this rule.

However, Lin Ye had eaten such a quantity of Eerie Man Flower petals, and his reason was still there; this guy's physique seemed good, and his mental power was also quite high; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have no problems.

He could only wait for time. ===== CHAPTER 733 =====
