Surprise! The Supposed Talent Show Was Actually–?!Ch82.2 - Going All Out

The contestant watched as the stage manager took care of the vines and finally couldn’t help but speak up, “What exactly is this…” kg7qcs

Stage manager: “Giant ironwood, injected with pitcher plant, catnip, and flytrap genes. Hey, don’t poke it, they’re still young little girls who’ve just come out of the nursery. They have mimosa plant genes too!”

Contestant: “This nursery is really big…”

By the time the contestant had dried up the mucus on his body, the 25 students from the previous group had already completed their evaluations. EvSq6k

That trainee greeted Wu Jin when he came out. Wu Jin immediately remembered this big brother––he’d forced him to down several cups of water during the Temperance card instance, and he’d then been eliminated by Jingyi’s double c.

 

Blood Pigeon came out of the glass enclosure, removed his breathing filtration equipment, and beckoned for Wu Jin and the others to settle down around him.

“The fourth elimination match arena.” Blood Pigeon knocked on the glass enclosure, “Will be in a terraformed late Cretaceous period environment. Any creature you encounter will be a product of genetic restoration and is the private property of the sponsor company. They cannot be damaged, and there is only one type of gun and bullet in the game. Understood?”

The trainees all nodded in unison.

 

Blood Pigeon pulled up a virtual screen, “In the competition, you will be able to obtain almost any high-tech equipment you can think of––off-road vehicles, first aid sprays, and even precision gliders, thermostatic pods, and hormone detectors.” kgx1Wl

Even before everyone could start getting excited, Blood Pigeon added, “However. Your greatest enemy is the environment.”

 

A circular disk was projected out in mid-air.

“During the Cretaceous period, the oxygen content of the air was 28%, which is 21% higher than the current oxygen level of the blue planet. Carbon dioxide levels were six times higher than they were prior to the first industrial revolution.” Blood Pigeon casually pointed to a trainee, “Tell me, where does the problem lie?” m8kyjd

The trainee pondered out loud, “Natural oxygen, it should be refreshing?”

 

“……” Blood Pigeon told him to sit back down, “You’re wrong. There will be oxygen deprivation.”

“High concentration of oxygen can lead to a transition in air exchange, accelerating carbon dioxide poisoning. Secondly, high carbon dioxide pressure in the human body will inhibit the movement of gas in the alveoli, penetrate the cerebrospinal fluid barrier, binding with the carbonic acid in the blood to make it more acidic, and further reduce its ability to bind with oxygen.” qubih0

“Once you no longer have the assistance of breathing equipment, your survivability will be greatly reduced.” Blood Pigeon took out the equipment he’d just removed and gestured to it, “This is your initial equipment. It will only support you for 6 hours, and then it will need to be replenished regularly.”

Wu Jin soon figured it out.

Wu Jin looked up.

Group class in the afternoon…

 

Halfway into their session. YumZ28

Wu Jin made his way out of the vines without having encountered any of the obstacles. Blood Pigeon corrected several of his movements, then nodded slowly in recognition of Wu Jin’s hard work, “Little Witch can leave first. Review your foundation on dodging and evasion when you go back.”

Wu Jin quickly asked, “Instructor, can I go through the course a few more times?”

 

Blood Pigeon was surprised and pondered out loud, “The practical application for this obstacle course training isn’t very high. If you have time, you should spend it on close-combat fighting––” PemjOf

Wu Jin responded cleverly, “Just, I just want to strengthen my muscle memory.”

Blood Pigeon understood and didn’t take away Wu Jin’s breathing equipment, allowing him to continue weaving his way in and out of the vines.

 

The group training passed by in a flash. xY9IbB

Close to sunset, all 250 trainees finally gathered together in front of the enclosed vine area.

The 16 minutes of obstacle course training wasn’t difficult, and the attack frequency of the vines also gave players a certain period of time to react. After mastering how to breathe with the filtration device, many trainees had already made a breakthrough––at least, they were no longer caught and rolled up by the genetically modified green tentacles.

Thin Fire stood in front of the vines and took selfies, while Caesar searched everywhere through the crowd for Red. Red, on the other hand, was hiding in the shade of the trees and communicating on his terminal.

“It’s a prehistoric creature instance! Hey, big brother, I’m telling you, there’s gotta be a huge––oversized––guinea pig!”

“If we roast it, it’ll be a huge––oversized––roasted guinea pig! Hey! Big brother, don’t hang up, don’t hang up, I’m just kidding, okay…” EaIVoW

 

In the middle of the video call, Red suddenly looked cautious and looked left and right before quietly touching a corner of the terminal, “Is Brother Wei about to enter the fourth course of treatment?”

“Alright, alright, I got it. More contact with the outside world, emotional stability, positive guidance, the comfort of his therapy companion… comfort? Ah? The cat is already on its way by courier?”

A moment later, Red shot out like lightning, grabbed a staff member, and asked, “Hey, are we allowed to raise cats on the base? Oh, it just needs to be registered? What breed? I don’t know what kind of cat it is, it’s the kind that can piss people off!” BwVXyb

 

On the podium, Blood Pigeon raised his loudspeaker and urged the trainees to line up, “It’s the same as earlier. 25 people per group to complete the vine obstacle course. We’ll be checking today’s training results, and the one who makes it across the fastest can decide on the canteen menu for tomorrow––”

The trainees beneath the podium instantly became rowdy.

‘Stir-fried frog’, ‘stewed pot chicken’, ‘braised pork’, ‘crab soup dumplings’, and so on rang out endlessly. Taking advantage of the chaos, Wu Jin jumped around left and right amidst the crowd, finally squeezing towards the front of the group and coming to a stop a few people away from the big boss.

Wei Shi looked towards him from afar.

 

The youth blushed slightly and pretended that he hadn’t noticed the big boss. The small curls were pushed back to reveal his forehead, and the little round face that was usually soft and cute looked neat and handsome. LsIP3c

Wu Jin was a little nervous, but he soon calmed down. In order to show his ‘more mature’ side in front of the big boss, he’d specifically taken care to roll up the sleeves of his training uniform the way the big boss did.

He was almost exactly like a teenager who wanted to attract girls’ attention on the basketball ball court at school.

On the podium, Blood Pigeon soon named a group of people, Wu Jin included, to go and prepare to enter the obstacle course. Blood Pigeon instructed, “The rules for the game is that there are no rules. Alright, Instructor Ying will track the time––”

Wu Jin had been preparing for a long time. He dashed out with a swish.

 

He’d gone over the vine obstacle course several times more than the other trainees and had long become familiar with it. He’d even mastered some special tricks––using the two seconds of plant reaction delay and positioning to hold back other players from the same group while simultaneously keeping the obstacles in front of him clear. gSFLud

The audience off-stage soon became excited.

 

Caesar’s voice was as loud as a bell and more obvious than anyone else’s, “Holy sh*t! Little Witch is pretty good!”

Even Ming Yao praised Wu Jin, clapping his hands––halfway through, he seemed to suddenly think of something and looked towards his own captain. Zuo Botang laughed, “Your hands are your own. What are you looking at your captain for?” sLehNG

 

Inside the vine area, Wu Jin jumped up and down between gaps in the vegetation, crouching down abruptly after being slashed at by the vines. With a flex of his powerful abdominal muscles, he bounced back up quickly, and after leaving their range, he stepped accurately onto the next patch of vegetation––two vines that had been attacking Wu Jin suddenly collided together.

His shoulders and arms shifted, and the training combat jacket that had nearly slipped off was once again pulled on properly, the fabric rustling with the wind.

Wei Shi squinted his eyes.

Caesar continued to boast about him, and even Thin Fire whistled from far away.

Ying Xiangxiang covered her heart theatrically, “This tactical maneuver! I don’t care whether or not it’s able to kill a prehistoric behemoth––it was able to murder the hearts of hundreds of millions of girls through the screen! Life has finally made a move on me, this 17 year old kitten!”

When Blood Pigeon opened his mouth to question her doubtfully, she added, “You keep quiet.”

At 9:12, after making a round through the obstacle course, the end of the course finally appeared in front of Wu Jin.

Beneath his feet was a designated minefield covered with flags. KMcBhO

 

It would take a minute and twenty seconds to pass it.

Of course, there was another, riskier method––

  ST89vW

Wu Jin suddenly saw Wei Shi standing in the crowd.

Intense exercise, increased blood flow, and overflowing dopamine as well as adrenaline made his choice for him within a split second.

 

He wanted to shoot a three-pointer in front of the big brother he had a secret crush on. EIdWPd

Wu Jin leapt up and grabbed the vines, sprinting backwards and using the momentum to swing through the sky, crossing the barrier marked by numerous flags, avoiding the green tentacles that roared past, stepping on the late afternoon, early autumn wind––

 

The end was just one arm’s length away.


Juurensha: Awwww Little Witch trying to show off.

  4. Little Witch: I’m worthy of you! Look at me~~~

    I hope it doesn’t bite him. These cliffhangers are too accurate.

    Using the air filtration packs for longer than the others should help him train for the upcoming challenge though…

    Thank you for the chapter!

  5. Thanks for the chapter! So, who thinks Wu Jin will be cuddling both the bunny and the kitty? Mask fans would go wild over him cuddling the fur babies while WS cuddles him…

  6. Red’s jealousy is hilarious😂

    Little witch showing off is so cute and funny at same time, just hoping he won’t trip!

    Thank u so much for the chapter💜💜

  9. Big Boss please give lil witch praises and cuddles for his effort!

    I demand cuddling and snuggling session between Big boss and little witch in the bed tonight!

  10. Secret crush? Are you sure it’s still a secret when facing brother Wei? Knowing that he can read you like an open book?

    And oh, another course of treatment! Will he still be bitten or will he finally be eaten? He he…

    And I’m guessing the food will be handheld wraps. Er, was it?

  11. LMAAOOOOOO WU JIN YOU ARE EMBARASSING ME!!!! Little Witch is like those infatuated highschoolers trying to impress their crush so adorable 😭😭😭

  12. I confess that every paragraph of him showing off like a teenager showing off to the person he likes makes me cover my face with shame … but I still root for him

  13. Oh wow, this is simultaneously cute and cringe. Reminds me of awkward school crushes. You got this Little Witch 😂

    Thanks for the translation ❤

  14. Alveoli is my favourite body part cause it’s name makes me think of pasta. It was literally the first thing I thought of when my grade 11 and 12 Science teacher mentioned it for the first time…

  15. why do i think he’ll fall or something and get depressed that he made a fool of himself in front of his crus?? i know i have before. These school time crushes were always so bittersweet. I don’t love like that anymore
