After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 400

Chapter 400: Who Made It Through the Challenge?
Zhao Xinghua was quick to notice this.

He furrowed his brow, staring at the computer screen. What’s going on? Is there a glitch?

Even with all of them combined, they were just over a hundred people. The questions he posed couldn’t possibly be answered by everyone.

Except for the initial few challenges testing physical fitness, judgment, insight, and strategic planning abilities, the final challenge tested intelligence.

All the questions were mental arithmetic, and the answers determined the next safe floor tile’s location.

Don’t think that brute force alone could prevail in their line of work; intellect was also required.

For instance, to hit a moving target in the distance, factors like humidity, wind speed, temperature, and air pressure at the time all played a role.

They had to consider all of these to accurately hit the target. Therefore, mental arithmetic skills were particularly important.

Without pen and paper, they could only rely on mental calculations, making the difficulty unimaginable.

How could anyone possibly make it through?

Even if someone managed to pass multiple times, it couldn’t be possible. Each restart presented different challenges. Passing two or three times was feasible, but 102 times overnight was absolutely impossible.

Where could the biggest glitch be? It must be Zhouzhou.

The questions he meticulously set up were seen by Zhouzhou as either extremely fortunate or unfortunate. With a mere glance at the compass, she immediately knew which way to go.

After all, in her eyes, science and mysticism were two sides of the same coin, both capable of solving problems!

Zhao Xinghua was still unaware of this, his brow furrowing as he opened the monitoring system, only to find a pitch-black screen, nothing visible at all.

The surveillance had been tampered with too!

Now, he was even more certain that an outsider had intruded.

Instantly, Zhao Xinghua couldn’t sit still anymore, striding out.

Meanwhile, Luo Jin hurried towards the challenge room.

At the same time, Zhouzhou looked at her ranking, finally climbing to the middle, nodding satisfactorily.

Her stomach rumbled, and without attempting further challenges, she walked to where Jinbao was sound asleep, picked it up, and carried it.

But she found something round and chubby in its arms, along with a few strands of thread.

She picked it up and looked at the round object, feeling somewhat puzzled.

What could this be?

A faint aroma of food wafted through the air, prompting Zhouzhou’s little nose to twitch. Without much thought, she tossed the object aside and immediately trotted off.

Time for dinner.

Following the scent, Zhouzhou found her way to the cafeteria.

As she reached the entrance, she coincidentally ran into Wen Jing, who looked somewhat anxious.

Upon seeing Zhouzhou, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly approached. “Zhouzhou, where did you go?”

She went to wake Zhouzhou up just now, only to find her missing from the room, which startled her.

If Zhouzhou had any trouble, the boss would definitely not let her off.

Zhouzhou blinked and said, “Sister Marvelous, I went out to play.”

Wen Jing lowered her gaze, noticing Zhouzhou’s sweat, and bent down to wipe her with a tissue.

Zhouzhou obediently tilted her face up, smiling at her.

Wen Jing was charmed by her and couldn’t help but lean over to kiss her on the cheek before taking her to wash up.

She rolled up her sleeves, and her gaze inadvertently swept over Zhouzhou’s arms, suddenly furrowing her brows.

Seeing the bruises on Zhouzhou’s arms, her expression immediately darkened. “Who hit you?”

The young girl had fair skin, even whiter than her clothes, and her arms were as chubby as little lotus roots, but now they were bruised and swollen, looking quite distressing.

Wen Jing’s eyelids twitched, carefully inspecting Zhouzhou’s legs and finding numerous injuries.

Even her chubby little belly had bruises, all appearing as if they were caused by sticks.

Her aura suddenly sank to the bottom, a hint of killing intent flashing in her eyes.

Zhouzhou also sensed it sensitively, hurriedly grabbing her hand and shaking her head, her voice soft and milky, “Sister Marvelous, no one hit me. I fell while playing a game.”

The first challenge with the blindfolded bronze man was quite tough, and one needed some time to adapt, so getting hit was inevitable.

But it’s okay.

She proudly puffed out her small chest and said, “I’m the top troublemaker of Sanqing Temple! I’ve been hit much harder during martial arts practice before, much worse than this. Master said, for martial artists, bumps and bruises are part of the journey.”

She shook her little head solemnly, completely unconcerned.

This amused Wen Jing to the point where she couldn’t help but burst into laughter. She rubbed Zhouzhou’s small nose and said, “You are right.”

The girl looked so delicate, yet surprisingly not at all delicate.

Wen Jing found it somewhat amusing, but knowing that no one had hit Zhouzhou, she felt relieved.

Of course, Zhouzhou was already quite capable herself, and with the protection of the Qin family, no one dared to bully her.

As for the people on the island? She didn’t think it was likely. Since Zhouzhou arrived, she had been busy detoxifying the boss, and very few people had seen her, let alone held any grudges against her.

Since that’s what she said, Wen Jing didn’t dwell on it and simply dried her hands before leading her inside.

By now, many people had already sat down, enjoying their meal with gusto.

Their training regimen was rigorous, so they all ate heartily, making it look quite appetizing.

Zhouzhou couldn’t help but salivate, her mouth watering incessantly. She looked up at Wen Jing eagerly, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Wen Jing comfortingly ruffled her little head, then walked to a counter with two plates. Pointing, she ordered a serving of each vegetarian dish. “Auntie, one of each for me, and make them generous.”

Their meals were provided, and they were treated well. The best proof was that the serving lady’s hand didn’t shake at all as she scooped generous portions onto the plates.

Before long, the plates were filled to the brim.

Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up at the sight.

Someone passing by couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wen Jing, eating so much today? Why no meat? It’s all vegetable, how can you feel full?”

“It’s not for me,” Wen Jing explained.

Not for her?

Then who was it for? Wasn’t Ye Ling still asleep?

Zhouzhou unconsciously puffed out her chest; of course, it was for her to eat!

But being such a tiny thing, Wen Jing’s colleagues hadn’t even noticed her.

As Wen Jing led her to an empty seat and watched her push the fully-loaded plate in front of Zhouzhou, she finally noticed another little girl. Her expression grew even stranger.

Could this little girl eat so much?

Zhouzhou paid no mind to their reactions, greedily stuffing her face with food.

Before long, half of the plate was empty.

Her colleagues were stunned, and people around them looked on with curiosity. As Zhouzhou finished one plate and asked for another, their astonishment grew.

Someone couldn’t help but exclaim, “This little girl can really eat, huh?”

“Yeah, she can eat as much as Leader Ye!”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou’s ears twitched, realizing they were talking about Ye Lingfeng.

Turning her head, her cheeks puffed out, she proudly declared in her soft, sweet voice, “Because he’s my daddy! We both eat a lot!”

With that, she proudly patted her little belly.

What? Leader Ye’s daughter!

Suddenly, others crowded around, chattering excitedly, their eyes full of curiosity.

Zhouzhou blinked at them, continuing to eat without pause, never once getting food on her nose.

As they watched her eat eight plates of food in front of them, everyone finally believed her.

“Hey, with an appetite like that, she must be Leader Ye’s daughter for sure, equally capable of eating!”

Absolutely!

Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, they weren’t eating for nothing.

She needed to eat a lot so she could have the energy to keep playing games!

At that moment, Zhao Xinghua arrived at the entrance of the challenge room, his face darkening as he saw the broken surveillance equipment on the ground.

After the staff checked the levels inside and reported back, saying, “No problems.”

No problems?

How could that be possible?

Zhao Xinghua looked down at the data records in his hand.

The number of passes recorded was currently 102, with all but one coming from a single individual.

Someone with an unknown name and code.

As his gaze scrolled down to the height column, he was suddenly filled with confusion…
