The teams were evenly split, one male and one female, and two males.
The host grinned lecherously and shouted, "Excellent, excellent! Let's have another round, but this time, our requirements will be even more stringent."
He paused. "How about this: switch partners, with a time limit of 5 minutes?"
"Fine."
"You always know how to spice things up, Old Liu!"
"Hahahaha, 5 minutes."
"Can they do it?"
"Doubt they'll finish!"
"Start, start, start."
The man and woman in one pair exchanged glances. The man's face turned ashen, while tears seemed about to spill from the woman's eyes.
They were a couple who had fled to the Flying Teng Base. He was an ability user, while she, lacking awakened abilities, was assigned to the Carefree House.
Normally, because he was a rare healing ability user, she was his exclusive woman, and no one dared touch her.
This time, she had been nominated for the program, and it seemed she truly couldn't escape.
Fortunately, she had encountered him again.
Tragically, they hadn't won.
Hearing their thoughts, Xu Qian frowned. It was indeed rather grim; after all they had been through, to face this predicament.
She turned her head and glanced at Li Ping, who was on the verge of sleep.
He leaned back lazily in his chair, his narrow eyes closed, long, thick eyelashes concealing the emotions within.
His collar was open due to his posture, revealing the fair skin of his chest, exuding a powerful aura of masculinity.
Many men and women in the base cast glances in their direction, but dared not linger.
He was quite strange.
The more ghastly this event was, the more bored he seemed. He appeared to have no interest in these things, yet this program was supposedly organized by him.
Xu Qian pondered for a moment and then spoke, "Boss Li, I want those two."
Mei Yue Bai blinked, wondering what she wanted with them.
The man's eyelashes twitched as he opened his eyes. Following her gaze, he saw the ordinary-looking man and woman on the stage.
With a subtle flick of his fingers, a subordinate quickly brought over a file.
"One is a healing ability user, the other has no abilities. What do you want them for?"
She looked up, meeting Li Ping's scrutinizing gaze.
"I just want them. Can I?"
Perhaps it was the couple's unwavering love in the apocalypse that touched her, or perhaps the scenes were too disgusting to bear. She didn't want to watch anymore.
"You want them? Alright. Come with me tonight."
His voice was deep as stone, captivatingly pleasant.
Mei Yue Bai's face darkened, and sparks crackled from her hands.
{I really want to kill this Li dog right now! How dare he lower his voice to seduce Miss Xixi!}
She narrowed her eyes slightly, her tone cool and indifferent, "If not, then never mind."
If she could save them, she would. She wasn't going to sacrifice herself for someone else's grand love.
"Come with me tonight. Just... keep me company for a chat? For an hour?"
Mei Yue Bai's face flushed with anger.
"Not even for a minute!"
Li Ping cast a sideways glance at him, then whispered something into Xu Qian's ear before calling the host over.
The host hurried over, his head bowed subserviently, and asked, "Boss, what is it?"
{Is he not having fun?}
A hint of a smile appeared in Xu Qian's clear eyes. Your boss is so bored he's about to fall asleep.
"Bring those two over here."
The host was taken aback. "Boss, but they're in the middle of a match. Can we bring them over after it's finished?"
Li Ping frowned, clearly displeased.
"I told you to bring them over, so bring them. Don't waste my time."
The host, intimidated, quickly agreed.
In the end, for reasons unknown to everyone, the male pair was declared the loser. The man and woman then spoke a few words to the boss and left not long after.
The host announced, "Now, we come to your favorite segment: the penalty game!"
"Yes!"
"What are we playing today?"
