Chapter 24 Truth
Chapter 24 Truth
Shen Mo was stunned.
Finished!
This guy's gone crazy from losing.
Tell me about it!
I've seen gamblers who went crazy from losing in my past life, and their expressions were exactly the same.
"The rules are simple: one person can speak in a row, and then the other person can take over."
Ah...no!
This is the first time I've seen someone so enraged by their losses that they're even giving themselves money away.
What a good person!
Butcher's Beloved (LV41): The streamer doesn't need to pay attention to him. He added rules halfway through the game, and this guy clearly can't handle the game.
Energetic Mom (LV39): Exactly! They've completely lost face; we can just ignore them. We should either make them admit defeat, or we'll just make them give up—that's just not fair anywhere.
Long-legged in white stockings (LV34): Still too kind! No way, I haven't ridden him yet! Who does he think he is?
……
Shen Mo was completely mesmerized.
The art style was perfectly good, but the woman in stockings completely ruined it.
"How about it? Dare to play?"
Lost City sneered inwardly.
It's not that he can't afford to play, it's that he can't afford to lose.
In his previous public persona, he had actually dabbled in being a cultural broadcaster.
But all of that was done in advance through rehearsals and practice.
They mostly played simple games like word chain games.
If we lose today, needless to say, all the followers we gained before will be lost.
"Can!"
"But since you've added a rule, I'll add one too, that's the only way to be fair."
Lost City's heart skipped a beat.
There are only so many poems, and it's all part of nine years of compulsory education. Even if the other person knows a little more, it's not by much.
He had to add this rule to avoid always having the other person speak first when he knew something.
After weighing the pros and cons, he nodded.
"Sure, add it!"
"The dance music will be played in rotation for each round."
"Uh...that's it?"
The Lost City is somewhat unbelievable.
Dude, you mean just adding a rule?
Do you feel embarrassed that I suddenly added a rule, or do you simply look down on me?
"Can!"
Mi Cheng spoke rapidly, as if afraid the other person would regret it.
"Okay! This time I'll play the music, and I'll say the words."
Shen Mo didn't want to waste time with him.
Making money is the real priority.
It's not easy to encounter such a spendthrift in the first PK.
"The character this time is 'closed,' the 'closed' in 'building a cart behind closed doors.'"
The music starts.
Soul of the Sword...
The upbeat and exciting music started playing instantly; it was catchy and addictive, yet surprisingly pleasant to listen to.
Everyone turned to look at Shen Mo.
"As dusk approaches, rain patters on pear blossoms, and the door is tightly shut!"
"What kind of music is this?"
Lost City's first reaction was to search for music. After confirming that the other party had played a song he was unfamiliar with, he immediately understood the other party's sinister intentions.
No wonder they want to reset the right to play music.
That's sneaky!
But soon, he started moving too.
There are no systematic dance moves; it's just a matter of twisting, shaking, and waving your hands, and then jumping around randomly.
However, the poem with the character "闭" is so difficult!
"To eclipse the moon and shame the flowers?" That's an idiom!
what……
Suddenly, a message appears, and the brain quickly memorizes it.
"Intending to catch a cicada, he suddenly stopped singing and stood still!"
"Great!" Shen Mo exclaimed, jumping even bigger and raising his voice.
"How can one bear the chill of spring in this lonely inn, as the setting sun casts its last rays amidst the cuckoo's cry?"
"Amidst a thousand peaks, the setting sun casts long shadows on the lonely, closed city."
"The green-clad eunuch guards the palace gates; how many springs have passed since he closed them!"
"Who feels the chill of the west wind alone, as the rustling yellow leaves close the sparse window?"
"A desolate courtyard, with a slanting wind and drizzling rain, the heavy doors must be closed!"
Lost in the city, making up random movements, was completely dumbfounded.
No!
This is the trick I wanted to use against you, why are you still reciting it so happily?
Ahhhhh!
I thought of those two sentences just now.
Ha! There really are some big shots in the live stream. Sister Liuli, you are my favorite. The other person would never say that.
"Have you not seen how, though the Changmen Palace was so close, Empress Chen was confined there? In life, when one is down on one's luck, there is no north or south."
"Close the door and retreat from the moonlight outside the window; throw a stone and shatter the sky beneath the water."
"catch!"
Shen Mo didn't hear a sound. He looked over and found that the person opposite him was frozen in place.
catch?
What are you going to answer? Answer my ass!
Micheng's eyes darted across the screen, noticing that the other person had already read the poem on the public chat.
The other person also recited the poems that weren't on the public chat.
My mind is completely blank!
How can we answer this call?
and also……
What lousy music is playing? If I get even slightly distracted, all I can do is twist my waist and shake my hips.
This is an instinctive action.
But other than that, he didn't do anything.
Before he knew it, he was sweating.
"Next, this time I'll choose the character '戏' (xi), which means 'to sing opera'."
The music chosen was "God Is a Dancer," which he is most skilled at.
This song is also full of electronic elements, with a strong electronic drum beat, making it a must-have song for members of Joyful Music.
"Fish play among the lotus leaves to the east, fish play among the lotus leaves to the west..."
Elementary school poetry, grasp the essence.
The city of Lost City did not relax; instead, it quickly entered a state of combat readiness.
"In the small garden, pavilions and terraces stand amidst distant pond waves, where fish frolic and play among the newly sprouted lotus leaves..."
"Wutai, a place of prosperity both past and present, especially loves the lantern shadow plays during the Lantern Festival..."
"A hundred performances compete in front of the building, but only the long pole dance is truly divine..."
"What we jokingly said about what would happen after death has now come to pass..."
……
Time passed little by little.
Lost City felt completely numb from losing.
This feeling is wonderful.
He gets angry every time he loses; seeing the other person's smug expression makes him furious.
So I kept searching in my mind for the textbooks and poems I had learned in elementary and middle school.
The poems displayed on the public screen were also one of his sources of inspiration.
For some reason, he noticed that the poems on the public chat were becoming fewer and fewer, and instead, they were replaced by...
"You know what, regardless of whether the guy across from me is talented or not, he really knows a lot of poems."
"Am I the only one who noticed how seductive the dance on the other side was?"
"The dance was so seductive, and the figure is really great. During that waist twist just now, I not only saw the deep V, but also her abs."
"I'm thirsty! The young man danced for so long, and I just went over and bought him a beer. He even planned to design some interactive moves for me. He's so thoughtful."
"Really? I'll give it a try!"
No!
Which side are you on?!
Are all the new recruits this brazen now? Openly trying to steal the older sister right in front of him!
My mind was filled with shame and indignation, and the other party's "please be so kind!"
I'll teach you a lesson!
"Again!"
"I'm not coming!"
"Huh? Can't take a joke?" Mi Cheng's eyes changed.
The gentle breeze and drizzle from just moments ago are nowhere to be seen.
Shen Mo curled his lip.
"How many rounds have we played already? You haven't even sent any gifts yet! What are you even playing for!"
Lost City suddenly snapped out of his daze, staring at the health bar above his head, completely numb!
[Health Bar: 38190 VS 3103]
Three... over thirty thousand points?
You gained 5,000 followers in one game, and then lost seven games?
"You lost a total of 7 rounds, and you still have 120 lollipops left to collect in 4 of them. You're now 35,087 points behind me. I'll round it down to 35,000 for you."
"How are those 35,000 points calculated? Can we tie it?"
"If we tie, it'll be doubled, 70,000 points. Not much, just like two Carnivals plus one Douyin No. 1!"
[The Little Fangirl of the Lost City (LV42) gifted the streamer 99 lollipops]
[The Little Fangirl of the Lost City (LV42) gifted the streamer 21 lollipops]
"I give up!"
Lost City gritted his teeth.
Although I don't want to admit it, I seem to really be illiterate.
"Don't let them tie!"
Are you out of your mind or am I?
You want two Carnivals plus one Douyin No. 1 for just one game?
Do you really think I'm stupid?
"Alright! Now it's simple. Truth or Dare, will you choose truth or dare?"
Silence is meaningless!
I never intended to earn this money in the first place.
Ultimately, the core of this live stream was to help the eldest sister get back at him.
"The truth!"
"good!"
Shen Mo immediately sat up straight.
"My question is, when was the last time you acted out a scene where you tricked an older sister, and who was the tricker?"
