Chapter 111

“Once everyone has finished writing, we will begin announcing the results.”

“3”

“2”

“1”

“Please reveal your boards!”

???

“Are you all crazy?”

“Don’t you want to get a good night’s sleep?”

This time, it was Lin Yu’s turn to widen his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

It turned out that, except for Lin Yu, everyone else had written down a 9:00 AM start time.

“Uh…”

“Lin Yu, based on your performance all day, I figured you would definitely do the opposite, so I…”

“Oh my! You brat, you actually played it straight this round. You’re impossible to guard against!”

“Mom! I guessed wrong, I crashed! Lin Yu, you owe me dice points!”

Everyone had originally wanted to outsmart Lin Yu’s prediction, but Lin Yu had chosen to just give up this round!

“Hahahaha!”

The production team burst into laughter upon seeing this scene.

It was too ridiculous!

The one time they had a chance to win, the Running Man team had actually collectively used their brains.

“After this choice, seven of our members have chosen the same: start work at nine.”

“So, our start time tomorrow will be nine o’clock.”

“The total accumulated team fund is 84,000 R.”

PD Yao also provided a summary.

“Oh my god! If Lin Yu goes in and spends 80,000 right away, we’ll only have enough left for toilet paper.”

“Hahahaha! Everyone else will have nothing.”

“I’m afraid even that 84,000 won’t be enough for Lin Yu to spend.”

“I’m so curious! What exactly is Lin Yu going to buy with these R-coins?”

“……”

Amidst the laughter and chatter, the Running Man team finished their day and returned to the Folk Culture Park.

Current Leaderboard:

Lin Yu: 22 dice points

Zhou Shen: 4 dice points

Bai Lu: 2 dice points

Yang Ying: 2 dice points

Everyone else has 0 dice points!

“Currently, the person with the most dice points is Lin Yu. Please come up and collect your dice points!”

The Folk Culture Park at night appeared exceptionally quiet.

Colorful lanterns hung between the pavilions and corridors, and the branches in the courtyards were illuminated by spotlights, creating a scene like a fairyland.

“We’re back.”

In the voiceover, Sha Yi’s tone sounded slightly exhausted. Although there hadn’t been much strenuous physical activity today, the group had been locked in a battle of wits with Lin Yu, which had worn them out.

Even though they had been crushed and hadn’t won a single time, they were still mentally and physically drained.

“Come on! Let’s shake!”

“Shake it! Shake it! Get it moving!”

Li Chen and Zheng Kai entered the frame one after another, their spirits quite high.

“Lin Yu! I just want a pillow, please.”

“Me too.”

“Ah! Blind dice?”

Li Chen looked at the eight empty-faced dice on the ground and cast a suspicious glance at the production team.

“We will give everyone points.”

“You stick them on yourselves.”

Hearing the production team’s explanation, everyone suddenly realized that it could be played this way.

“After a day of challenges,”

“the team has accumulated a fund of 86,000 R.”

“Currently, the person with the most dice points is Lin Yu, with 22 points.”

*Clap, clap, clap.*

“Yeah!”

As soon as PD Yao finished speaking, cheers and exclamations erupted from the crowd.

“He’s the one getting the dice, what are you cheering for?”

Sha Yi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Bai Lu, Yang Ying, and the others.

“Brother Sha, if you say that, you won’t have a pillow today.”

Zhou Shen hurriedly reminded Sha Yi that trouble comes from the mouth!

“Ah, ah, ah! Oh my god, this mouth of mine!”

“Yeah, it has to be our Yu! So amazing. These 22 points are too few; PD Yao, if you rounded it up to 30, I’d still look down on the production team.”

When it came to knowing how to handle things, Sha Yi could definitely rank among the top of this group; his main strategy was sucking up to power!

“A normal die has a total of 21 points, and the points you won today are additional.”

“Next, please come to me one by one to collect your dice points.”

“First is Brother Sha’s 21 points.”

“Can 21 points be stuck on one side?”

Sha Yi took the points from PD Yao and asked curiously.

“Anything is fine, stick them wherever you want!”

Upon hearing PD Yao’s reply, everyone suddenly understood.

“Oh! So that’s how it is! Doesn’t that mean everyone has a chance? Playing all day was just to get higher odds!”

“Exciting! This is actually quite exciting.”

Zheng Kai and Yang Ying nodded and analyzed, looking at each other.

This meant that it wasn’t just Lin Yu; everyone had a chance to win the final victory.

“The points in your hands can be stuck on any of the six sides of the die.”

“The initial 21 points on the die can also be rearranged.”

“Great!”

“Then it’s really not certain who will have the last laugh.”

Hearing PD Yao’s words, everyone’s eyes turned toward Lin Yu.

“Lin Yu, if I were you, I’d take a gamble!”

“Stick all 43 points on one side.”

“Hahahaha!”

Bai Lu had intended to goad Lin Yu, but as she spoke, she couldn’t hold it in and started laughing herself.

“Lin Yu, if you’re tough, make the biggest one, otherwise you really won’t be able to beat us.”

Sha Yi was even more arrogant, pointing at the die in front of Lin Yu and speaking passionately.

“Old Sha, if I were you, I’d go all in and stick them all on one side.”

Seeing this, Li Chen hurriedly fanned the flames from the side.

“Of course I have to stick them on one side, otherwise how would I have a chance to beat Lin Yu?”

As Sha Yi spoke, he used both hands, and soon, a die with 21 points stuck on a single side made its grand appearance.

[Ding]

[Luck Deduction activated]

[Current Sha Yi luck: 30%]

Just this?

Lin Yu chuckled inwardly.

With 30% luck, no one would believe it if he rolled a 21.

“Here it comes.”

As he spoke, Sha Yi raised the die, acting smug and shaking his head.

“Each person only has one chance to roll the die.”

“According to the order from largest to smallest, enter the Good Dream Supermarket.”

“……”

The first to go was Bai Lu.

“I only put a few extra on one side; the rest are more or less evenly distributed.”

“I stuck 7 points on the highest side.”

“Leave it to fate.”

After Bai Lu finished speaking, she squatted down and exerted force, and the die flew straight into the air.

It clattered on the ground twice and landed exactly on the 7-point side.

“Oh, oh, oh!”

“Wow!”

Bai Lu’s eyes widened instantly, her face filled with wild joy as she let out a shout.

She opened her arms and, like a winner, sprinted around the field.

“My luck is too good.”

“So lucky! I actually rolled a 7.”

“Next is Cheng Xiao.”

Amidst the cheers, Cheng Xiao actually rolled an 8, instantly igniting the whole scene again.

Immediately after,

Yang Ying: 0 points

Li Chen: 0 points

Zhou Shen: 4

Zheng Kai: 5 points

On the field, only Sha Yi and Lin Yu remained.

“Lin Yu, how did you stick yours?”

Yang Ying and Cheng Xiao crowded over, curious.

They wanted to see how Lin Yu’s brain would allocate the dice points.

“There’s no special technique.”

“The current highest is Sister Cheng Xiao’s 8 points.”

“That means if I want to beat 8 points, I need at least 9.”

“I currently have 43 points, which can guarantee four sides are over 8 points.”

“The win rate is two-thirds!”

“The odds of winning are still very high.”

Lin Yu spoke calmly and eloquently.

“……”

After hearing Lin Yu say these things with such composure, everyone present was dumbfounded.

In the entertainment industry, let alone doing math, even reading characters was a challenge for some.

Many actors even frequently marked pinyin annotations on their scripts.

Good heavens!

For our entertainment industry artists, being able to understand a smartphone and knowing to run home when it rains is already considered elite.

How did a calm, freakish brainiac like Lin Yu emerge?

It’s unfair, this is too unfair!

The livestream room was also shocked by Lin Yu’s wit.

“Holy crap! Isn’t Lin Yu only 20 this year? Why can I see the words ‘cunning and calculating’ in his eyes? This kid is truly mature beyond his years!”

“Hahahaha! This line of thinking is really clear. I thought Lin Yu would be goaded by Bai Lu into sticking them all on one side. I didn’t expect him to be so rational. He’s truly a breath of fresh air in the industry; he deserves to be the man who plays variety shows with his brain.”

“Makes sense! I already have the absolute advantage, why compete with you on luck? Let’s just compare probabilities. It’s true that if you learn math, physics, and chemistry, you can go anywhere in the world without fear!”

“But… why didn’t Lin Yu consider Sha Yi? It seems there’s still one person left!”

“……”

“That’s not right! Why didn’t you count my 21 points, Lin Yu?”

Sha Yi suddenly reacted. I haven’t thrown mine yet? What? Am I, Sha Yi, not considered a person?

“It’s fine! Brother Sha, if you win, I’ll gladly take second place.”

Lin Yu waved his hand with a smile.

“Then I’ll throw first!”

Without the slightest hesitation, in a flash, Lin Yu threw the die in his hand.

No surprises.

After all, a two-thirds probability is quite high, and the die settled steadily on the 9-point side.

Only Sha Yi was left on the field who hadn’t thrown yet!

[Ding]

[Current Sha Yi luck deduction: -20%]

Huh?

Why did it drop so much?

Could it be because of Sha Yi’s confident words just now? It seems one should still be low-key. When one gets arrogant, their luck drops significantly.

“I must go all in.”

After Sha Yi finished speaking, the die flew into the air.

Everyone else threw it straight up and down, but Sha Yi threw a parabola.

“PD Yao, watch out!”

“Bang!”

Before the production staff could even warn him,

PD Yao’s glasses flew off, and he was knocked over by the fierce and heavy die!

Familiar!

How was this scene exactly the same as the one where Brother Sha kicked the bowling ball in the last episode!

“Director, are you okay… Hahaha.”

The production team gathered around to help him up, but seeing PD Yao’s disheveled state, they couldn’t help but laugh.

It wasn’t that their quality was low; it was just that this scene was too funny!

“PD Yao, this doesn’t count, right~”

“I want to throw again.”

Sha Yi blinked and, seeing PD Yao get up, asked cautiously.

“Throw… (your mother’s)”

“Out of bounds! 0 points!”

PD Yao rubbed his forehead and roared fiercely.

“Damn it! Where did my glasses fly to?”
