I really don't want to be famous, but the collapse is still chasing me

Chapter 550 1V7

Backstage, amidst concerned gazes, Liu Ying slowly opened her eyes.

"Liu Ying? Are you alright? How are you feeling?" Ling Sha was the first to come forward, and Xing and Ting Yun also gathered around with worried expressions.

"Firefly, if anything happens to you, your little brother will skin me alive!" Xing said, pressing the back of his hand against Firefly's forehead in surprise.

"Huh? Why is it so hot!"

Firefly blinked, seemingly still not quite understanding the situation.

She instinctively tried to sit up, but was surprised to find that her whole body was sore and weak.

She looked around blankly, her gaze finally settling on her teammates' faces, which were filled with concern and...gossip.

Then... with a "boom," everything that had happened behind the curtain rushed back into my mind like a tidal wave.

That irresistible skill, that breath so close, that…

Her cheeks were flushed, like those of a ripe apple.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The three exchanged glances, each seeing a burning fire of gossip in the other's eyes.

A girl's blush speaks volumes, yet it leaves endless room for imagination, making one want to pry open the curtain and find out what's behind it.

at this time.

Everyone's phones simultaneously beeped, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere with the notification for the next round of the competition—the new round: [Fixed Word Challenge].

-

Meanwhile, in the owner's team's locker room.

Su Chen and the other three sat together, and the atmosphere became somewhat heavy after seeing the notice.

Xiao Heita's fingertips flew across the tablet as he analyzed the latest battle situation: "Wan Di's health has reached zero, and our team's total health is down to five. Although we are still within the safe threshold, once it drops below four, it means that someone will be completely eliminated, which will be extremely detrimental to our subsequent team matches."

"A fixed-word challenge?" Wan Di frowned, looking puzzled. "What kind of trick is this now?"

“The rules are simple,” Little Black Tower explained succinctly. “The system will give you a fixed word, and then no matter what questions your opponent asks you or what they say, you can only answer with that fixed word.”

Hanabi's eyes darted around, and she smiled slyly: "Hey, let me give you an example. Take the fixed phrase 'I do.' Manly man, don't you think our boss is brilliant and wise, and want to immediately hand over all your assets to him, to be his slave from now on, and never betray him?"

Wan Di's face darkened, and veins bulged on his forehead. He was about to shout "HKS" when he realized that under the rules, he could only squeeze out three words through gritted teeth: "I...am willing."

"Hahaha! Interesting! This is so interesting!" Hanabi clapped her hands, laughing so hard she almost fell over. "Boss, let me go this round! I guarantee I'll outsmart them all!"

“No,” Su Chen unexpectedly stopped her, “I’ll go this round.”

He looked around at his team members and had already made up his mind.

This is not a contest of knowledge or logic, but an art of mindset, adaptability, and navigating linguistic traps.

As for the art of language... Su Chen relied solely on his words to "trick" one promising young man after another into joining his scheme.

This game is practically tailor-made for him.

The legend of cannibalism has not yet ended!

"The score is too close. I must use this round to widen the gap completely. I must win this game!"

As he spoke, he looked at Hanabi, "Hanabi, lend one of your life points to Wan Di. We must ensure that all of us are present."

The integrity of the team is the foundation for ultimate victory.

Under the trusting gazes of his teammates, Su Chen took a deep breath, straightened his collar, and strode towards the brightly lit stage.

When the host, Jimi, saw Su Chen appear in person, her face broke into a wide smile, and her voice rose eight octaves:

"Ladies and gentlemen! Let's give a warm welcome to our eight challengers for this round! They are—Ling Sha from the Flowing Firefly Team! Feng Jin from the Butterfly Team! Ti Bao from the Agrea Team! Na Ke Xia from the Great Black Tower Team! Sunday from the White Calamity Team! Sai Fei Er from the Flying Sky Team! Yin Lang from the Yellow Springs Team!"

And—the greatest entrepreneur of this century, the male lead of our web series, and the actor who plays the pioneer 'Qiong'—Mr. Su Chen from the Boss Team!

Amidst the cheers, Su Chen nodded meaningfully to Jimi and mouthed: "Your year-end bonus is gone!"

Jimi nodded emphatically, mouthing a knowing reply: "Don't worry, boss, I'll make sure you get the coolest vibes!"

Hey, my year-end bonus is a sure thing.

"Eight players will compete simultaneously in this round," Jimi cleared his throat and announced the harsh rules.

"Answer according to the fixed words; failure to answer will result in elimination. This round will also feature a 'champion'; if the champion loses, two lives will be deducted. Conversely, if the champion wins, the remaining seven challengers will all lose two lives! Now, we will randomly select..."

Before he could finish speaking, the entire audience erupted in uproar.

[Holy crap! 1v7? That's way too risky! Losing means losing two lives, which is practically half the game over!]

[Even if they won, it would be insane! They took out seven opponents, giving them fourteen lives! Was this a clean sweep?! Is the production team going to go this far?]

[What kind of monsters are these?! Ling Sha, Silver Wolf, Sunday, and that supermodel Na Ke Xia... Whoever becomes the champion is doomed!]

Backstage, Hanabi clenched her fist excitedly: "Exciting! So exciting!"

Wan Di's expression turned solemn: "This is too risky."

at this time.

A hand was raised calmly and powerfully under everyone's gaze.

The camera zoomed in abruptly, projecting that face with a faint smile onto all the large screens.

It's Su Chen.

The whole place fell silent instantly.

Fireworks in the backstage murmured, "Here he comes, here he comes, the boss is about to start putting on an act..."

Su Chen's voice was clear and steady, carrying throughout the entire theater through the microphone:

"No need to draw lots, I'll be the champion. All seven of them, come at me together."
