Chapter 151: The Acupressure Mat Relay
Page (1/3)
“Take your positions! Get ready!”
“Go!”
“Boom!”
The four members of the Red Team sprang into action.
Deng Xin surged ahead, threw himself onto the ground, and began crawling forward.
When he reached Chen Chi, Deng Xin handed him the baton.
Chen Chi spun around and ran toward the giant ball.
Holding the baton in one hand, he began kicking the ball.
“Phew! It hurts, it hurts!”
As Chen Chi stepped onto the acupressure mat, he grimaced in agony, his feet as though they had been scalded by boiling water.
Every time he kicked the ball, he had to stop and recover.
He crept forward on tiptoe. “It hurts, it hurts!”
At last, Chen Chi kicked the ball across the finish line.
He handed the baton to Yang Ying.
Yang Ying picked up the chopsticks and began transferring ping-pong balls from one side to the other.
For this stage, she only had to move five ping-pong balls to complete it.
Yang Ying picked up the chopsticks, clamped onto a ping-pong ball, and hurried toward the other side.
“It hurts, it hurts! Phew! Phew!”
Like Chen Chi, Yang Ying proceeded on tiptoe.
At last, after moving five ping-pong balls, she ran quickly to Li You.
Li You took the baton and dashed off without looking back.
“Phew! It hurts!”
He was incredibly fast. He reached the finish line and returned in the blink of an eye. All that remained was to run over and press the button.
Li You moved like a bolt of lightning.
“Smack!”
He slammed his palm onto the button.
“Beep!”
The director blew the whistle and checked the time. “Red Team, three minutes and forty seconds!”
“Woo-hoo!”
Deng Xin and the others cheered.
“Who’s next?”
“We are!” Jiang Yun said.
“Good. Yellow Team, get ready!”
The four members of the Yellow Team took their positions.
“On your marks—beep!”
“Go!”
“Boom!”
Ren Xing took one step forward and reached the rope net.
He began crawling beneath it.
“Phew! This is killing me!”
Ren Xing crawled at top speed and passed through the net in just a few movements.
He handed the baton to Wei He, who turned and sprinted away.
“Phew! How can this hurt so much?”
Wei He grimaced in pain and limped as he kicked the ball to the finish line.
He quickly reached Wang Fengwan and handed her the baton.
Wang Fengwan took it, picked up the chopsticks, and began transferring the ping-pong balls.
“Ah! It hurts!”
Her little feet hopped wildly, as though she had stepped on bullets.
After moving five ping-pong balls, Wang Fengwan hurried toward Jiang Yun.
“Faster, faster!”
Wang Fengwan reached Jiang Yun, who took the baton and dashed off without looking back.

Jiang Yun moved like a bolt of lightning.
“Smack!”
He struck the button with his palm.
“Beep!”
The director blew the whistle.
“Director, how did we do?” Wang Fengwan asked impatiently.
“Yellow Team, three minutes and twelve seconds!”
“Woo-hoo! Yes!”
“Woo-hoo!”
“Ha-ha! Yes!”
The four members of the Yellow Team embraced happily.
“Only the Blue Team remains. Blue Team, get ready!”
Zheng Kai and the others rubbed their fists and slapped their palms. “It’s finally our turn!”
The director said, “Zheng Kai, quickly decide who will run which leg!”
“Ha-ha, look at them. They still haven’t assigned their positions!” Wang Fengwan laughed loudly.
Zheng Kai looked at Wang Lan and Wang Bao. “Brothers, what’s going on? What are you doing?”
“You take this one, and you take that one!”
“No, you take this one!”
Zheng Kai’s team immediately descended into chaos. He looked toward the camera and said, “Director, there’s no way to play this game anymore!”
“Hahaha!”
“Ha-ha-ha!”
In the end, Wang Lan took the crawling section, Wang Bao kicked the ball, Zhu Yin transferred the ping-pong balls, and Zheng Kai ran the fifty-meter shuttle.
“Are you ready?” the director asked.
“We’re ready!”
“Good! Begin!”
“Beep!”
The director blew the whistle.
“Boom!”
Wang Lan dashed out first. He was small, but extraordinarily fast.
He threw himself onto the ground and crawled beneath the rope net, passing through it in just a few movements.
Wang Lan handed the baton to Wang Bao.
“Phew! Ah! That really hurts!”
Wang Bao sprinted forward with the baton and kicked the ball to the finish line in no time.
He handed the baton to Zhu Yin.
Zhu Yin picked up the chopsticks and began transferring the ping-pong balls. She moved so quickly that her feet seemed to have gone numb.
Zheng Kai staggered over to her. “Zhu Yin, don’t your feet hurt?”
“Get lost. Stop distracting me!”
Zheng Kai was immediately silenced.
He gave an awkward smile.
After transferring five ping-pong balls, Zhu Yin quickly reached Zheng Kai and handed him the baton.
Zheng Kai took off at full speed, running as though powered by an engine.
“Smack!”
He slammed his palm onto the button.
“Beep!”
The director blew the whistle. “Time!”
“Director, how did we do?” Zhu Yin asked impatiently.
The director did not keep them guessing. “Three minutes and one second!”
“Woo-hoo!”
Zhu Yin jumped up in excitement.
Zheng Kai and the other two came over and embraced her.
The twelve contestants stood in a line, facing the camera crew.
Li Mengya stood beside the crew, holding a small folding stool.
“All three rounds of the game are now over. You have only one chance to describe the item!”

“Who wants to go first?”
“I will!” Jiang Yun stepped forward first.
It was a psychological tactic. By stepping out first, he would make the others believe he was completely confident.
Sure enough, the others frowned when they saw Jiang Yun come forward.
“This item can be stored for a long time—ten days or even half a month,” Jiang Yun said.
The others frowned again.
“This item can indeed be stored for a long time, but I’m not sure, because I’ve never eaten it!” Zhu Yin stepped forward and said.
Jiang Yun frowned. Never eaten it? What was he supposed to do now? He had already gone first with his description!
“Next!”
“This item can be used to make porridge!” Ren Xing said.
“Oh my goodness, Ren Xing, that was far too obvious!”
“Haha, was it?” Ren Xing said with a laugh.
Everyone was speechless.
“All right, the descriptions are over. The Blue Team may now conduct an inspection!”
The members of the Blue Team began discussing among themselves.
“Have you reached a decision?” the director asked.
“We have!”
“Whom do you want to inspect?”
“Deng Xin!”
Deng Xin stared at them in bewilderment. “Wait, how did you come up with inspecting me?”
“Because, judging from previous episodes, there’s a good chance you have a special identity this time!”
Deng Xin was speechless. “What kind of ridiculous reason is that?”
“Have you made your final decision?” the director asked.
The four members of the Blue Team answered, “Yes!”
“Deng Xin’s identity is that of a good person!”
“What?”
Zheng Kai and the other three smiled awkwardly.
Deng Xin folded his arms. “See? I told you. You’ve just wasted one of your chances!”
“You may now vote!”
“I vote for Zheng Kai!” Deng Xin spoke first.
“Wait, why?” Zheng Kai wailed. “At this rate, I’m going to be eliminated!”
“That’s what you get for inspecting me just now!”
“What kind of reason is that?” Zheng Kai said helplessly.
“Hmph!”
Deng Xin laughed. “I felt exactly the same way you do now.”
After a while, the voting came to an end.
“Zheng Kai has five votes, Jiang Yun has four, Ren Xing has two, and Teacher Wei He has one!”
“Congratulations, Zheng Kai. You’re out!”
Zheng Kai was speechless.
Everyone hurried over to tear the name tag from his back.
Rip!
“Hahaha!”
Wang Bao burst out laughing. “I told you it was him!”
He spoke in his local dialect, which made it sound rather amusing.
“Zheng Kai, that’s what you get for pretending to be innocent!”
Zheng Kai looked at everyone awkwardly. “Everyone, it wasn’t as though I wanted this!”
Jiang Yun quietly let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had not been eliminated.
