After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 402

Chapter 402: What If My Legs are Short? They Don’t Affect My Performance!
Upon hearing these words, Wen Jing’s brows eased slightly. He caressed her small face and said, “No need, it’s fine. We’ll handle it. Come, let’s eat first.”

Director Zhao had already upgraded the challenge. Wan Leng had just tested it; he used to reach the tenth level, but now he could only get to the eighth.

The difficulty had significantly increased, making it impossible for that person to succeed.

Moreover, all the surrounding doors were shut; without clearing the levels, there was no way out.

They merely needed to trap the prey in the pot. It was not a problem.

Zhouzhou had no inkling that she was the very prey they sought. At that moment, her little head was buried in a bowl, devouring her meal with gusto.

Despite being accustomed to her large appetite, everyone was still slightly astonished upon seeing it again.

Watching the young girl’s contented demeanor, their hearts warmed.

These people fought so hard to ensure that their loved ones could eat their fill, wear warm clothes, and live peaceful lives.

The thought that their families were now enjoying themselves like the little girl fueled their determination.

Little did they know that the person who had kept them on edge all day was this very girl who soothed their spirits.

Zhouzhou, unaware of the truth, was filled with ambition to help them catch the bad guys.

After dinner, Wen Jing sent Zhouzhou back to her room and then returned to his work. Zhouzhou lay in bed but couldn’t sleep.

She had napped all day and was now wide awake. After a while, she sprang up, her eyes gleaming as she hugged Jinbao. “Jinbao, let’s go play at that place from yesterday,” she suggested excitedly.

Jinbao, however, let out a “meow” and darted away. It didn’t want to go; it was too dangerous, and the girl often did reckless things.

Seeing this, Zhouzhou, understanding its refusal, pouted in disappointment but then hopped off the bed with determination. It didn’t matter; she would go alone.

Zhouzhou dressed and headed outside, discovering many people patrolling. Knowing they were on a manhunt, she didn’t want to disturb them, so she quietly bypassed them, holding her little compass as she made her way to the challenge room.

She skillfully pressed a button on it. At the same time, Zhao Xinghua’s phone lit up. He sneered, “Here we go again.”

He was eager to see who this person was. This time, once inside, there would be no escape.

Zhouzhou quickly noticed the difficulty had increased. The bronze figures’ attack speed and strength had improved significantly compared to the previous day. Within minutes, she had taken several hits.

She furrowed her brows but her eyes sparkled with excitement. Excellent, she had found the previous challenge too easy and had grown bored. She admired the game designer’s work.

The little girl eagerly fought on, spending twenty extra minutes on the first level compared to yesterday.

“Level cleared, reward: 1,000 points.” Huh, the points had doubled? Zhouzhou felt even more motivated and immediately proceeded to the next level.

Fantastic, soon her name would appear alongside her father’s on the ranking list. This thought filled her with renewed vigor.

Zhouzhou continued to clear the levels. Upon reaching the tenth level, she noticed many more words on the ground.

Without a glance, she calmly took out her compass from her bag. As the night wore on, Zhao Xinghua, massaging his sore brow, finally finished his work.

He stretched and recalled the person in the challenge room. By now, that person must be crying for mercy. He had said his upgraded levels were unbeatable.

Leisurely, he opened the data interface, but upon seeing the content, his smile froze. “Level clears: 112 times.”

There were ten more clears! How could there be another bug? He furrowed his brows deeply. Could it be that someone had cleared the levels again?

His breath caught, and without any delay, he rushed out. Others, receiving the news, also hurried to the challenge room.

The data showed that the person was still advancing; this time, they had to catch them.

After searching all day without finding any suspicious individuals, they even began to suspect one of their colleagues might be secretly adept and hiding their skills.

For a moment, their gazes at each other were filled with scrutiny. If someone was this skilled, why not show off openly? They wouldn’t be envious but astonished.

Everyone sneered and surrounded the challenge room tightly, eager to see who this elusive person was.

At that moment, Zhouzhou was still clearing levels. Except for the final level, which was slightly uninteresting, the rest were quite enjoyable.

She felt her martial skills had improved over the past two days. When her father woke up, she wanted to spar with him to see if it was true.

“Congratulations, you have cleared the level. Reward: 999,999 points. Total points: 878,100,000. Leaderboard ranking: Second place.”

The mechanical voice sounded again. The string of numbers left Zhouzhou a bit dazed.

She skipped over them and looked up at the leaderboard. Seeing her name just below Ye Lingfeng’s, she smiled with satisfaction. Done!

She wiped the sweat from her forehead; her clothes were nearly soaked. She couldn’t continue.

Zhouzhou walked to the door and pressed the button. The door slowly opened. The people outside, hearing the noise, immediately looked on alert.

Zhao Xinghua, seeing the points on his device, his eyes glimmered with interest. He had changed his mind.

As long as this person wasn’t a villain and had no ill intentions, he would do everything to keep them.

Clearing levels that even Ye Lingfeng found difficult was no small feat. This person had completed it ten times; they were a rare talent and must be retained!

Luo Jin also stared inside, a foreboding feeling in his heart. His handsome face tightened, void of any humor.

He had lured Zhouzhou here to provoke Ye Lingfeng into waking up, not to create another rival for himself. If it truly was that little girl…

His eyes darkened. Everyone held their breath, ready for anything. The next second, the door fully opened, revealing a small figure.

Wait, a small figure? Everyone was dumbfounded, staring at the little girl who barely reached their knees.

Zhao Xinghua’s phone slipped from his hand in shock, all his recruiting words stuck in his throat.

How could it be her! The phrase “height undetectable” in the data sheet finally made sense. It was indeed a short little thing!
