A washed-up celebrity on a dating reality show starts by forcibly kissing a young lady from the Beij

Chapter 37: Looks like a victory, but actually a defeat

Su Xiaoxiao's expression was very calm.

She ate hot pot noodles and spicy chicken at Chen Feng's place that night, but her stomach was still full.

It doesn't matter whether we have these barbecues or not.

Gu Yu's stomach growled again. He touched his stomach, and the expression on his face changed from smug to frustrated.

Jiang Jingyan stared at the skewers on the food cart for a while.

She ate three bowls of oil-splashed noodles, most of a plate of spicy chicken, and a bowl of noodle soup that night.

She was already full, but the aroma of grilled skewers woke her up again.

She asked Director Wang, "How can you make a living based on your talent?"

"Let's play a game, pop the balloons."

Staff pushed a canopy over, with dozens of colorful balloons attached to it, half a meter above the ground.

The staff brought over several baseball caps, with a long needle sticking out from the top of the brim.

"The male and female guests will wear pin hats, and each balloon will contain a folded banknote. They will use the pins on their hats to pop the balloons. Once popped, the money inside is theirs."

"The time is ten minutes."

Jiang Jingyan's eyes lit up.

Isn't this the same as buying a lottery ticket?

Yang Fan's stomach also growled.

He didn't eat anything today; he only took a small bite of the raw steak before he couldn't swallow it.

His stomach was growling madly. He looked at those balloons like they were skewers of grilled meat. He'd pop one open, and the money inside would be the meat, the charcoal, the cumin, and the chili powder.

Wu Yurong also wants to participate.

Her implants haven't been put back in place yet, but she can't worry about that now.

She's already embarrassed herself enough on the show today, and she's starving. This barbecue late-night snack is her last chance to turn things around.

Gu Yu looked at the needle cap, then at Director Wang: "Can I participate?"

Director Wang shook his head.

"Only the losing guests are eligible to participate. Your group won, so you are not eligible."

Gu Yu was about to break down.

He won the competition and won a hundred yuan for barbecue expenses.

But that hundred yuan is worthless in the face of the price list, and he doesn't even have the right to pop the balloon now.

Even though I won, why do I feel like I lost?

"Are you going to participate?" Jiang Jingyan asked Chen Feng.

Chen Feng nodded.

Who can resist late-night barbecue?

Jiang Jingyan stood up, picked up a pink pin hat, and put it on her head.

I walked up to the balloon and took a look.

The balloon is quite thick.

Since you can't see inside from the outside, you can't tell the color of the money inside, making it impossible to decide which balloon to pop.

Chen Feng was already standing next to her, wearing a pin hat on his head.

"Which balloon do you think contains a lot of money?" Jiang Jingyan asked.

Chen Feng shook his head.

"That depends on luck."

Jiang Jingyan thought for a moment.

"I won 500,000 in the lottery, I wonder if my luck will last?"

Wu Yurong and Yang Fan stood under the canopy, looking up at the sky full of balloons.

Colorful balloons swayed back and forth under the lights, but no one knew which one was a large bill and which one was a small bill.

Yang Fan rubbed his hands together.

"Just poke around randomly, you never know, you might poke a big one!"

Wu Yurong rolled her eyes and pouted, saying, "With your luck today, you'd be lucky to even get a dollar."

Yang Fan retorted defiantly, sticking his neck out: "You talk as if you're incredibly lucky. How many scandals have been exposed about you today?"

Hahaha, neither of them should complain about the other's skill level!

[The sugar daddy's mistresses are fighting! Their arguments are my source of amusement!]

[It was clearly Wu Yurong who caused this, what does it have to do with my brother!]

Yang Fan was too lazy to argue with Wu Yurong anymore. He looked up, picked up a balloon at random, and jumped up with a kick.

The needle tip brushed past the balloon but didn't poke anything.

He landed back on the ground, staggering a step.

Wu Yurong scoffed, "Useless."

She jumped up too.

Her jumping ability was not as good as Yang Fan's; she landed as soon as her toes left the ground, and the needle tip didn't even touch the edge of the balloon.

Both of them poked at empty air.

[Hahaha! We were just complaining about how little money we were earning, and now look, not a single cent! So funny!]

Are these two trying to be funny? They can't even pop a balloon properly!

Yang Fan jumps like a toad, Wu Yurong jumps like a penguin! They're both equally matched.

The investor, watching this scene on television, is probably considering replacing the actor.

Chen Feng stood to the side, squinting at the balloons.

Relying on guessing is no different from buying lottery tickets.

Ten minutes isn't a long time; what he needs to do is find out which balloon contains the big money.

It would be great if I could exchange it for X-ray vision.

The moment the thought crossed my mind, the system panel lit up.

[Ding! The finger-breaking game is over. The host has collected 5000 resentment points! The system shop is now open. Please select the skill or item you wish to exchange.]

A virtual panel popped up in front of Chen Feng's eyes.

Option 1: X-ray vision skill (One-time use, expires after ten minutes! Note: Cannot see through human bodies, only objects). Exchange cost: 2000 Resentment Points.

Option 2: 1 million RMB, exchange cost: 5000 Resentment Points.

Chen Feng didn't even look at the second option.

Between a million dollars and X-ray vision, he chose X-ray vision.

Once a million is spent, it's gone; moreover, the required resentment level is very high.

After using up the X-ray vision, you can still earn resentment points to exchange for other things.

"Exchange for X-ray vision."

[Ding! Successfully exchanged 2000 Resentment Points for the X-ray Vision skill!]

[Ding—Skill fusion in progress—Fusion complete! Duration: 10 minutes. Countdown begins now.]

Chen Feng closed his eyes.

A cool sensation washed over my eyes, and they felt much more comfortable.

When Chen Feng opened his eyes again to look at the balloon, the balloon skin appeared as a transparent film to him, and the banknotes inside were clearly visible; he could even see the numbers on the banknotes.

He could clearly see which balloon contained fifty dollars, ten dollars, one dollar, or one cent.

Jiang Jingyan stood beside him and had already begun to act.

In this situation, it really just depends on luck!

She randomly chose a blue balloon.

Then he jumped up!

The balloon has popped!

A 10-yuan note fell out.

Jiang Jingyan picked up the money.

Ten yuan can buy a skewer of lamb!

Chen Feng remained standing in the same spot.

Just as Jiang Jingyan was about to urge him...

Chen Feng suddenly strode towards the outermost balloon!
