Chapter 222: Chapter 222: A Bloody Case Triggered by Watermelons
So, how much are these dozens of round watermelons worth?
Each weighing at least ten pounds, there are around forty to fifty here. So, how much in credit points exactly?
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
My brain is about to crash, can’t calculate anything clearly.
Ji You only knew one fact, these watermelons in front of her represented a fortune!
As soon as the contest rules were announced, Ji You looked at the remaining ten contestants, waved her hand grandly, and said dominantly, "I advise you nine to just forfeit! Because today, I, Ji You, declare that these watermelons, I’m taking them all for myself."
Nine contestants: "..."
Sheng Qingyan rolled her eyes disgustingly, and said, "Where did this shameless lunatic come from? I suggest dragging him out and beating him to death!"
Shen Changqing opened his mouth, then suddenly said, "I agree."
Yue Qiyuan raised his hand, pointing to his feet, and said, "I raise both hands and feet in agreement!"
The rest: "Then no more nonsense! Let’s beat him to death!"
A sinister cold air appeared from nowhere, Ji You shook her shoulders, cursing, "You ungrateful fools! I was making it easy for you, but you just don’t get it, don’t blame me for being rude."
Sheng Qingyan gave her a sidelong glance: "People are laughing in your face..."
Shen Changqing pursed his lips, "I won’t lift a finger, but I can provide weapons, anyone wants to strike first?"
Ji You: "..."
Ji You took a breath, glancing unexpectedly at Shen Changqing, and said, "Big brother, what has changed with you? How come I don’t even recognize you anymore?"
Honest people—
When they suddenly become dishonest, it’s kind of scary.
Shen Changqing turned his head, looking at Ji You, said seriously, "I want to eat watermelon."
Ji You: "..."
Ah~
Men!
Always appearing decent, but once food is involved, their true colors show.
I see through you.
Meanwhile, Yue Qiyuan darkly added, "Give me the weapon, I’ll finish her off. But let me make it clear, I am the primary force here, I’m taking the lion’s share of these watermelons! One fifth has to be mine."
Upon hearing this, the others quickly responded, "Killing her is tough work, no need for you to bother, we few can handle it, just leave it to us, us brothers want no more than half."
Sheng Qingyan rolled her eyes, "Keep dreaming!"
Shen Changqing said, "I disagree."
Yue Qiyuan said, "I disagree too." He paused slightly, looked at Sheng Qingyan and Shen Changqing, said earnestly, "How about, the three of us team up, get rid of the rest, and then split it equally?"
Sheng Qingyan’s eyes immediately lit up, "That’s a really good idea..."
Shen Changqing’s eyes flickered slightly, he nodded, "Feasible."
Ji You: "..."
Ji You couldn’t help but say, "Enough you guys, you are utterly shameless! From a gang wanting to crush me alone, to your internal strife, then forming small groups and incessant fighting... Aren’t your roles too excessive?"
Not just the contestants, even the surrounding audience, at this moment looking at each plump Big Watermelon, everyone was unsettled. While Ji You, Shen Changqing, and others were secretly plotting to kill their opponents and monopolize the watermelons, the spectators were also quietly discussing, "Should we kill these ten finalists and then share the watermelons among ourselves?"
"I think it’s a plan."
"Sound idea, I’m in."
"Yeah, I’ll join."
"I must be included in such a great opportunity."
"Bosses, a weakling like me wants to join the group, take me! Take me! I can go and kill the weakest one in their team, Ji You!"
Ji You, who has sharp ears and is very good at detecting demeaning and slanderous voices aimed at her, immediately heard this comment from the crowd. Following the direction of the gaze, she looked forward and saw a tall figure hiding among the people. Even though he tried to appear weak and pitiful, Ji You immediately spotted his sneaky and dodgy eyes!
Ji You narrowed her eyes dangerously: "Oh! Little Zhouzhou, Barbie loves you so much and always thinks of you when she has anything good. Yet you secretly want to kill me!"
Humph!
Just wait and see!
From now on, you are no longer my beloved child.
Over here.
Xuzhou suddenly forcefully broke away from Zhang Ye’s restraining hand, pushing him from behind and with an angry expression, said, "Zhang Ye, you went too far just now. Why did you push me out to take the blame?"
Zhang Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead, forced a smile and said, "Isn’t it because you are her beloved child? Even if she’s angry, she wouldn’t really hurt you, right? Definitely not."
Xuzhou: "..."
Xuzhou felt a bit exhausted.
Zhang Ye, looking at those Big Watermelons, said, "You Iron Fool, do you super regret now? You’ve already struggled up to the fourth level, yet you got eliminated, why are you so useless?"
Xuzhou: "..."
Iron Fool Xuzhou retorted, saying, "I might be useless, but at least I made it to the fourth round, what about you?"
Zhang Ye: "..."
Xuzhou said, "Not only are you useless, but you are also a jinx."
Zhang Ye: "..."
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Ye said, "Little Zhouzhou, you’re not the old Little Zhouzhou anymore."
Xuzhou: "... Shut up! I don’t hit girls, but do you think I’m scared to hit you?"
Zhang Ye: "..."
Zhang Ye chuckled dryly and said, "Hey hey... we’re brothers, why say such things? Don’t be angry. It was just a joke."
Xuzhou: "Don’t call me Little Zhouzhou."
Spicy Eye.
This scene took place in a corner, and since it wasn’t about her, Ji You naturally didn’t care. Right now, all she could see in her eyes, her heart, and her mind was one thing – the Big Watermelon!
The juicy, sweet Big Watermelon.
The shop owner looked at everyone, whether they were contestants or other customers, and at that moment, thought that everyone was assuming they could finish all the watermelons by themselves. He smiled slightly and thought to himself:
These people who haven’t seen the big scene really think they can just eat the watermelon freely and finish it?
Naïve!
Then, the shop owner immediately arranged for service robots to cut the 10 watermelons, each of the same weight, into slices, and placed neat slices of watermelon next to each contestant.
The moment the watermelon was cut, a natural fresh fragrance filled the air, making everyone itch to run in and grab a piece to satisfy their craving.
The shop owner said, "In this eating contest, the rules are simple: whoever eats the most and the fastest wins."
Ji You raised her hand and asked loudly, "Boss, there’s no limit, right? If there isn’t enough here, will you add more watermelons?"
Hearing this, the shop owner thought: Even more naive! These are huge watermelons weighing at least ten pounds each, even if these 10 people have huge stomachs, they couldn’t possibly finish them all.
More watermelons?
Impossible.
The shop owner waved his hand grandly and said, "Yes, we can."
