I Rely On Poverty To Sweep Through Survival GamesCh7 - The Second Selection (Two)

Zhang Dong curled his lip unhappily and seemed somewhat regretful that his pretentious act had failed. He pointed at Lin Yan. “This time, the one to bring me the most fun will be you. Go ba.”

Lin Yan tidied up his dishevelled clothes and pushed up his glasses, his eyes as calm as ever. He straightened his back and unhurriedly headed for the goods section. U1GnjW

The sleeve tattoo gangster had a complicated expression on his face at that moment.

Out of the five who followed Lin Yan, three of them had died in the blink of an eye. Seeing that Lin Yan didn’t appear regretful or guilty, the gangster didn’t have to be any more of a fool to understand. This guy was using them as test subjects.

What should he do now?

He didn’t dare continue trusting Lin Yan anymore, but he also didn’t know how to do it on his own ah. 7vCYxr

It had to be pointed out that the five of them gave every piece of information they had to Lin Yan, who then directly gave them a verdict; Lin Yan himself had never revealed any clues or his process of analysis.

The sleeve tattoo gangster had initially felt that Lin ge was reliable, but now he really wanted to give the ignorant him a slap in the face.

He knelt on the floor; he was just a bitter winter’s white cabb… maybe he wasn’t white enough; a cauliflower, then.

To match the current situation, Luo drew a broken bowl in front of the tattooed gangster. These drawing skills… Just looking at them made a person want to cry.

Xiao Lan: “…”

You’re relying on the fact that no one else can see it to fool around, right?!

Seeing Xiao Lan’s strange expression, as if he was restraining himself with great difficulty, Zhao Xiaohe nervously said, “Xie ge, are you okay?”

“…I’m fine.” As Xiao Lan spoke, he stuffed a hand into his pocket to flick the envelope that was inside, telling Luo to stop joking around. pL7 1J

Seeing his action, Zhao Xiaohe seemed to understand. She whispered considerately, “Since Lin Yan hasn’t come back, how about you go to the toilet first?”

Xiao Lan who was suspected of kidney deficiency: “…”

I’m not! I don’t have that! Don’t speak nonsense!

Lin Yan returned right at that moment, just in time to alleviate the current awkwardness. Xiao Lan even looked at him a little affectionately; this person had never been so pleasing to the eye. Mk20Qd

Seeing Xiao Lan’s expression, Lin Yan was a little stupefied. What’s going on? Is this guy planning to assassinate me?

After that, Lin Yan smoothly passed the test.

He kept the safe clue for his own use, while the dangerous and uncertain ones were tested through other people. It had to be said that this really was a conniving boy. KaSI6M

He walked around the supermarket for a very long time and picked up several things before putting them down, hesitant and afraid to make a decision. It took so long that the female shop assistant gave a warning. “Please don’t be inactive when playing the game!”

Finally, not long after the second warning, the tattooed gangster returned with a packet in his hand — underwear.

It was even an eight-piece set; it was enough for a new pair to wear each day, then seven of them could be collected and tossed into the washing machine while the remaining pair could still be worn — this was truly considerate calculation. d0AiYd

Was this perhaps the tacit understanding that all single, middle-aged losers shared? For some people, this amount might be enough for a couple of months…

But this wasn’t something Xiao Lan knew from experience, because he wouldn’t buy eight pairs of underwear at all; that was just too luxurious! Why not just shower every day?

The tattooed gangster nervously set the underwear on the checkout counter. Zhang Dong revealed a satisfied expression; this choice jived perfectly with his lazy nature.

He even smiled at the tattooed gangster, and the beautiful picture was so blinding that the gangster nearly peed himself from fear. fWmIG4

Zhao Xiaohe also smoothly passed.

Finally, it was Xiao Lan’s turn.

Zhang Dong: “Don’t disappoint me ah. You’re the lucky one I’m most optimistic about~”

But his gaze was clearly saying, I’ve already planned a good death for you, and I’m just waiting. Hp69uQ

Xiao Lan walked towards the supermarket’s goods section. He already had a lot of clues about Zhang Dong: a middle-aged loser, poor yet lazy, half-hearted at work, self-centered, bewilderingly self-confident about his charm, and always full of unrealistic fantasies about the women around him.

Xiao Lan: “Since he’s a… then that thing should…”

Even though it was highly unlikely that the boss would hear him, Xiao Lan still screened the keywords for his safety; if the boss got angry, then what?

【Sir, what do you want to find?】 kMs5d3

Xiao Lan quietly said, “Luo, can you help me analyse the toilet paper in the supermarket? Look for the type that’s of low quality and in a large pack; the mass doesn’t matter.”

A rough man like Zhang Dong absolutely wouldn’t care about how coarse the toilet paper was; in any case, it couldn’t be any coarser than he himself ah.

【Very well, sir】

Three seconds later. RJXd7H

【Turn left, at the very bottom of the sixth shelf rack. The average cost per gram is the lowest】

He even considerately drew a guide arrow on the floor.

Xiao Lan couldn’t help being stunned.

This speed was just too astonishing. He originally thought that two people looking would be quicker than one, but unexpectedly, Luo suddenly used a great move. It was like originally planning to do your summer vacation homework together with your comrade, and he suddenly told you that he had already finished doing it. GodYAZ

It had to be said that there were no less than five racks of toilet paper in this supermarket, and each rack had five shelves that were fully stacked with various toilet paper brands that had completely different packaging designs.

Unexpectedly, Luo was able to find the most suitable one in three seconds, and Xiao Lan suddenly realised that he may have accidentally bound himself to a very powerful fellow.

Seeing that Xiao Lan wasn’t saying anything, Luo continued writing:

【Apologies, sir, I was a little slow. I’m currently a little weak. If I recover, I’ll definitely be able to give you more help】 QdrZOq

WTF?! You’re telling me that this speed is considered weak? Don’t tell me that at your peak, you can solve the Goldbach conjecture in one second?

In the end, what level of existence was this person?

Xiao Lan came back to himself. “This is already a great help to me, really. You don’t have to apologise.”

【It’s my honour】 MhwQ95

Xiao Lan, “You say you’re weak right now; do you remember why?”

【I don’t. My memory seems to be fractured, and only a few fragments remain; none of them has anything relevant on my memory loss】

Xiao Lan asked, “Then what can we do to help you recover?”

【By clearing instances, sir. My intuition tells me that the more you and I clear instances, the quicker I’ll regain my abilities】 WzqNmk

“Okay, I’ll do my best.” Xiao Lan took a deep breath. Right now, he was shouldering the weight of both their lives. If he was careless and died, there would be one corpse and two lives lost.

Pei pei pei, what one corpse and two lives?! Why did that sound strange…

He reached the shelf, and it was a large pack of toilet paper which was enough to cover a bed three times over, and even for doing it every night until his skin peeled off.

Xiao Lan stepped forward and picked up a whole pack of toilet paper, which had an image of a large foot-picker gnawing on his innards. Putting the somewhat bloody image aside, the character on the packaging looked a lot like Zhang Dong; some people might look rough, but buried in their hearts was actually a dream to become an exquisite boy star. 6nSfrq

Xiao Lan brought the toilet paper to the checkout counter, and met Zhang Dong’s regretful eyes.

Zhang Dong: “It’s hard to find such a broke youngster. Can’t you stay behind and accompany me?”

Xiao Lan: “Thanks, but no thanks.” Big brother, in reply to these words of yours, I want to complete the instance even if I have to stake my life on it.

“The third selection.” Zhang Dong looked at the four people left. “Let’s change the play instructions: You can come to me as soon as you’ve found something good.” Hljkuz

He smiled maliciously. “It’s fine even if it was originally chosen by someone else, as long as it belongs to you when you give it to me.”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaohe turned pale. Her fighting strength was the weakest among them.

Xiao Lan’s expression sank as well. The tattooed gangster looked tall and brawny, and clearly wouldn’t be easy to handle.

And seeing how Lin Yan had pushed the girlfriend away earlier, his strength was extraordinary as well. Who knew if he had a skill, like Xiao Lan, or if it was the game itself that had enhanced his physique. Ut3zbZ

Either one would be very troublesome.

If it was a skill, the cooldown had to be very short, seeing how Lin Yan used it so casually and without the slightest scruple. Meanwhile, Xiao Lan’s【Poverty is unable to restrict my imagination】had a 24-hour cooldown period.

If it was a physical boost — in other words, if he was able to maintain constant fighting strength — and if he even knew fight techniques, then it was even more troublesome.

In contrast, Xiao Lan could maintain his fighting strength and battle them for only — five minutes. b9VRdC

The countdown restarted — 00:59:59.

The author has something to say:

Xiao Lan, a man who’s so broke he soon won’t have pants to wear.

Luo: Sir, I’ll look after you eiQoI6

Xiao Lan: You don’t have pants to wear either, okay?
