Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 86 Laughter

If Cheng Hao is flexible and adaptable, then Zhao Jiacheng is stubborn and refuses to back down. He believes that everything is just a coincidence since Chu Deng has given him a bonus card. So when someone hires him to gang up on Chu Deng again with a bonus card, the skeptical Zhao Jiacheng requests to join the fight.

But he watched as Chu Deng, with the crowd obscured, kicked a useless card at his feet as he rushed forward, causing him to stumble, lose his balance, and fall face-first to the ground.

Zhao Jiacheng barely managed to brace himself at the last second before his face hit the ground, and the blood seeping from his scraped palms stained the ground red.

He was in excruciating pain, still reeling from the shock, when a gust of wind brushed his face, followed by a sudden slam on his back. With a thud, he was thrown to the ground, his lips making intimate contact with the earth, his teeth slamming into the soft flesh inside his mouth. His features contorted in pain, his vision blurred, but his hearing became even more acute. When the fatal "beep" sounded again, Zhao Jiacheng was finally convinced of his defeat!

Then, Zhao Jiacheng, who had fallen to the ground, was trampled on several more times by a group of people. Kind-hearted Cheng Hao then pushed him, tumbling him towards the wall. While rolling Zhao Jiacheng with one hand, Cheng Hao laughed so hard he could barely breathe, "Hahaha, bro, buddy, now you see how you died, right? The genie killed you instantly, hahaha..."

Zhao Jiacheng, lying flat and accepting the ridicule, didn't want to speak and silently watched the battle from the ground.

Chu Deng ducked to avoid an arm holding a deduction card, kicked another person behind her hard, turning that person from facing her to facing her back, then grabbed the wrist of the person holding the deduction card and stretched it forward. Three seconds passed quickly, and before the examinee who had just turned around could recover, a "beep" sounded.

"Announcement: Candidate No. 41 used the deduction card against Candidate No. 17. Candidate No. 17's current score is 16."

"Amazing! This little girl is so good at slacking off during the game, haha!" Qian Wen, sitting in the monitoring room, slammed his hand on the table and burst into laughter. He wished he could have a beer and some snacks with him. This was even more exciting than watching a football game!

Over there, Chu Deng was still operating the equipment. She didn't reveal anything special about herself; at most, she was a little more agile and stronger. Anyway, Luo Xia had sent her to learn Taekwondo when she was a child, which could be used as an explanation.

Chu Deng is simply stretching his muscles and playing with the examinees, but he doesn't intend to let them off easily.

"Announcement: Candidate No. 1 used the deduction card against Candidate No. 29. Candidate No. 29's current score is 26."

"Announcement: Candidate No. 21 used the deduction card against Candidate No. 30. Candidate No. 30's current score is 33."

……

Another series of broadcasts came on, like a constant stream of KPIs, making Meng Qiuhe both annoyed and itchy.

"Wait, why aren't they running laps to stick cards anymore?"

Pei Hanxing noted down every single one, but noticed that one number was mentioned quite frequently: "Chu Deng is among them."

Meng Qiuhe was speechless: "So they're only targeting Chu Deng to get bonus cards? If I remember correctly, this is the second wave?"

“Chu Deng has never had a demerit card issued.” Pei Hanxing blinked and then said.

"Announcement: Candidate No. 8 used the deduction card against Candidate No. 1. Candidate No. 1's current score is 13."

Meng Qiuhe and Pei Hanxing locked eyes, and in the end, Meng Qiuhe couldn't hold back.

He pointed at Pei Hanxing and burst into laughter: "Brother, Chu Deng was killed by your poisonous grandma."

Pei Hanxing: "...Request to withdraw."

"Withdrawal invalid, haha!" Meng Qiuhe mocked mercilessly.

On the other side, Cheng Hao and the others, who were fortunate enough to witness everything, stared in disbelief at the first and third place winners hugging each other.

Zhao Jiacheng asked as if in a daze, "Hao, am I seeing things correctly?"

"Cheng, yes, you didn't see wrong, Lin Jingqiong kissed the genie." Cheng Hao closed his chin and replied sleepwalkingly.

The situation was complicated. Chu Deng was dealing with the people who were surrounding her one by one, while Lin Jingqiong was looking for an opportunity nearby. She observed Chu Deng's habits as she watched, and noticed that Chu Deng would sometimes stand very close to the wall, making it easier for her to press down on others and stick cards on them.

So, following suit, after Chu Deng finished dealing with one person, Lin Jingqiong rushed out and crashed into Chu Deng, pinning him against the wall. As she did so, she casually slipped a deduction card between Chu Deng and the wall.

Although Chu Deng had noticed her long ago, just as she was about to shake off Lin Jingqiong, she saw another person taking advantage of the chaos to stick a card on Lin Jingqiong's back, and that person was none other than Tang Zhen!

So, instead of stopping Lin Jingqiong from rushing into her arms, Chu Deng grabbed Lin Jingqiong and pulled her closer. Then, she grabbed Tang Zhen's wrist and twisted it. Driven by the pain, Tang Zhen struggled free from Chu Deng, glared at the wicked Chu Deng, and ran away.

After all, Tang Zhen's target this time was Lin Jingqiong. He was a little afraid of Chu Deng. Chu Deng stopped him, and he didn't dare to fight back. He just wanted to run away.

After Chu Deng twisted Tang Zhen's ankle, she was pushed against the wall by the force of Lin Jingqiong's impact. She lost her balance for a moment, and when she regained her balance, the sensation from her chin made even the usually composed Chu Deng momentarily lose her composure.

When the three seconds were up, a "beep" sounded and the broadcast started.

Lin Jingqiong, disregarding her initial victory, abruptly took a few steps back, her face flushed, and turned to the two onlookers, who seemed to enjoy the spectacle. She stammered, "No! I didn't kiss her! Ah! No, I did kiss her, but only her chin! That doesn't count! That doesn't count! My first kiss is still intact!"

Compared to Lin Jingqiong, whose head was practically steaming, Chu Deng, who had just been kissed, calmly wiped the water from her chin, took out the deduction card that had been pressed down by her equipment and the wall, and immediately felt a pang of toothache.

The card that had already been used up was printed with "-10".

No one has this luck.

"Wow—" Cheng Hao, with his sharp eyes, gasped when he saw the number on the deduction card. He looked at Lin Jingqiong with admiration and said, "It's all my fault for not recognizing Lady Luck. Not only did you kiss the school beauty of Haishi No.1 High School, but you also personally deducted 10 points from the top student of Haishi No.1 High School! It's no exaggeration to call you a winner in life today!"

"You, you, you!" Lin Jingqiong felt that it would have been better not to reduce the score at all. Chu Deng was the school beauty, but she had become a joke. The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to cry. Lin Jingqiong ran away, but she still left behind the words, "Jin Xiaoyue is on the straight track of No. 8."

Zhao Jiacheng rolled his eyes at the sarcastic Cheng Hao: "That's enough, you've made him cry."

Cheng Hao hadn't expected Lin Jingqiong to be so thin-skinned. He scratched his head and said, "I wasn't being sarcastic, I meant it!"

Chu Deng glanced at Cheng Hao, who immediately stood at attention, made a zipping motion with his finger over his mouth, and shut his mouth.

"What a coward," Zhao Jiacheng muttered.

Cheng Hao glared at his friend, but under pressure from Chu Deng, he still didn't dare to say anything.

"Life is truly full of surprises and unexpected events," Qian Wen remarked, taking a sip of tea as he sat in the monitoring room.

Huo Xuan raised an eyebrow, watched as Chu Deng on the screen dusted herself off, and her figure gradually disappeared from the eleventh surveillance camera's view.
