Deng Fei took a small hop and arrived in front of the cup, shouting loudly, "Hey! I choose for you to choose first!"
Wang Xiang generously allowed the guest group to have the first choice, but Deng Fei didn't care for this right: "Hehe, I like being passive..."
"What a move, turning initiative into passivity," Wang Qin praised again. "This move not only solves one's own choice paralysis, but also hands the problem over to the other party. If the other party chooses incorrectly, they will experience double the annoyance."
Mu Li couldn't help but retort, "Listening to you is like listening to nothing at all. Why don't you say what if the other party chooses correctly?"
As a staff member of the "Wu Ha" program team, what kind of situation had he not experienced?
He immediately chose Deng Fei's cup, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
A moment later, the staff member smiled calmly, extended a hand, bent at the waist, and with perfect etiquette, said, "I'm done, it's your turn."
Deng Fei's smile had already frozen on his face. He subconsciously looked at Wang Xiang, wanting to say something, but Wang Xiang didn't even look at him.
"Good, good, good..." Deng Fei gave a bitter smile. "I never thought I, General Deng, would have such a day... I... Can I not drink it, Director Wang? I can just go into the water directly."
Wang Xiang sneered, "Don't! If you don't drink it, how will you know if this cup is herbal tea or not? What if it's not herbal tea, wouldn't you all be at a disadvantage?"
Deng Fei's expression changed, and he said seriously, "I trust you, Director Wang."
"Hmph, stop with the nonsense, drink it quickly," Wang Xiang didn't fall for that at all.
Seeing that it was unavoidable, Deng Fei ultimately endured the pain and drank the herbal tea, becoming as useless as Peng Xiaochang, and was casually discarded by the ice pool.
With two consecutive losses, the remaining five people's expressions were all very solemn.
"General Chichi, it seems we can only rely on you," Mu Li said with a heavy expression.
Chichi smiled calmly, "Since ancient times, warfare has emphasized striking while the iron is hot, then fading, and finally exhausting. These two failed because they talked too much nonsense."
Chichi walked gracefully to the two cups of drinks, staring intently.
Five minutes later, everyone couldn't help but yawn.
"So you're just holding back from talking, huh? Forcing yourself to endure?" Mu Li complained. "What, are you planning to evaporate the herbal tea inside?"
Chichi gave Mu Li an annoyed glance, sighed, chose the drink opposite him, hesitated for a moment, and then drank it.
One second later, Chichi's face lit up with joy, "How about that? I told you, my strategy was correct, right?"
Wang Xiang shook his head and dragged the staff member who had become useless to the side of the ice pool. "2 to 1, the advantage is with us."
Next was Fan Yizhi. The big brother smiled indifferently, reached out, picked up the cup in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp, then spread his hands, "Now it's 2 to 2."
"As expected of Big Brother!" Mu Li praised, while having the remaining staff clear the opposing contestant, who had become useless, from the field.
Seeing how easily Big Brother won, Wang Qin couldn't help but feel a longing, and immediately imitated Big Brother, wanting to be dashing for once.
But the moment he picked up the cup, he realized that being as dashing as Big Brother was not a simple matter.
Some things, once you hesitate, the outcome might change.
When Wang Qin made up his mind to finish the drink in his hand, it was decided that he could not become a dashing person like Big Brother, but could only become a useless person like Deng Fei.
3 to 2, Wang Xiang scored another point.
"Oh, it's already match point," the smile on Wang Xiang's face was already impossible to suppress.
"Not good, the opponent has reached match point, and their momentum is now like a rainbow," Mu Li thought to himself, but at this moment, only he and Wang Yijia were left on the field.
"Jia'er, I wonder if you can bear this life-or-death pressure?" Mu Li murmured.
Wang Yijia's mouth twitched violently, "What the hell is 'Jia'er'! Speak to me properly!"
Mu Li reached out and used his index finger to seal Wang Yijia's lips, shaking his head gently and saying, "I won't allow you to slander yourself like that. I hope you pass this difficult hurdle well."
"Go away! You're the one messing with my head, okay?!" Wang Yijia roared.
Mu Li seemed not to have heard at all. He slowly looked at Wang Xiang and smiled calmly, "Let's begin, Jia'er. I'll take this man, and the rest is up to you."
Wang Yijia gasped for breath, as if he had exhausted all his strength, "Damn it! Can you not call me something so embarrassing!"
Wang Xiang sneered, "Hurry up, Jia'er!"
Wang Yijia's pupils instantly widened. He looked at Wang Xiang in disbelief and couldn't help but cover his chest, "Even you..."
"Stop talking nonsense, Jia'er..."
"Come on, Jia'er..."
"Go for it, Jia'er..."
...
Cheers faintly came from around them.
Wang Yijia angrily said, "You're all useless, are you still going to complain?"
Finally, Wang Yijia accepted his fate and stood at the crossroads of destiny.
Looking at the two cups of drinks in front of him, Wang Yijia closed his eyes, breathed shallowly, and placed both hands above the two cups of drinks.
A moment later, Wang Yijia suddenly opened his eyes, picked up the cup on his left, and drank it all in one gulp.
"I succeeded! I succeeded!" Wang Yijia cried tears of joy, threw the cup away, and did several somersaults on the beach.
This time, it was Wang Xiang's smile that froze.
Mu Li's gaze towards Wang Xiang suddenly sharpened. At that instant, Wang Xiang felt as if he was being stared at by an ancient beast. A chill instantly rose from his tailbone, and goosebumps unconsciously appeared all over his body.
Wang Xiang subconsciously looked behind him, only to see a small purple chubby figure that had appeared behind him at some point. It was puffing out a freezing breath from its wide-open mouth, gently blowing it under the hem of his clothes.
Gengar, seeing that Wang Xiang had discovered it, showed an awkward smile and shrank back into the shadows as if nothing had happened.
The scene was extremely awkward, even Mu Li was a bit stiff, only able to force a wry smile: "Haha, I wanted to make a joke, but I didn't expect you to find out."
The veins on Wang Xiang's temples were already bulging. He strongly suppressed the urge to complain, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down before saying, "Last one, it's your turn to choose."
As the final choice approached, Mu Li fell silent instead.
"Director Wang, have you ever considered what kind of situation you would face if you lost?" Mu Li said faintly.
"Isn't it just jumping into ice water?" Wang Xiang sneered, completely unmoved.
Mu Li shook his index finger, revealing a faint smile, and said, "It seems you're already prepared?"
"Naturally, I'm ready anytime," Wang Xiang spread his hands, as if everything was under his control.
"Very good, I admire your courage," Mu Li said with a smile. "Since things have come to this, Director Wang, do you dare to increase the stakes even more?"
Wang Xiang's pupils instantly sharpened a few points: "Oh? How do you want to gamble?"
"What you took from me, I want back," Mu Li said calmly. "If we lose, the remaining treehouse is yours, but if we win, give us back our treehouse."
At these words, everyone was shocked.
"Stop, Ah Zu!"
