Chapter 126 Extra Match
Chapter 126 Extra Match
"Old Zhang..."
"Back during the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony... you slapped me so hard... I'll remember that for the rest of my life!"
Zhang Zhiwei smiled and thought to himself that this old Lu was still a child, he hadn't grown up yet.
Raise your glass:
"Okay, okay, I'll drink it, I'll make it up to you."
"What good is an apology!"
Lu Jin suddenly grabbed Zhang Zhiwei's arm and said in a slurred voice:
"We...we've been friends for so many years."
"Even though you're stronger than me... I'm more handsome than you!"
"Come on! Let's take this opportunity... let's become sworn brothers!"
"puff!!!"
Tian Jinzhong, who was standing next to him, spat out a mouthful of wine and laughed so hard that the chair shook.
"Sworn brothers? Old Lu, are you drunk? You're over a hundred years old, pulling this stunt?"
"Who's drunk! I'm perfectly sober!"
Lu Jin held onto Zhang Zhiwei tightly, refusing to let go, and even tried to pull him to kneel on the ground:
"Heaven above! Earth below!"
"I, Lu Jin, hereby pledge to become sworn brothers with Zhang Zhiwei!"
"I don't ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but I do... but I do ask that you hit me less hard in the future!"
Zhang Zhiwei looked at Lu Jin and couldn't help but want to laugh.
After all these years, I never expected that Lu Jin would still hold a grudge against me for making him cry when we were young.
There's really no need for that, after all, he's not the only one crying.
The entire room fell silent.
The younger generation of the Lu family covered their faces, unwilling to acknowledge that this was their great-grandfather.
What a shame!
Is this a flawless life?
This was a complete drunken misbehavior!
Zhang Zhiwei was being pulled along by Lu Jin, looking utterly helpless.
He pushed up his sunglasses and looked at Su Wuxian:
"Junior brother, aren't you going to do anything about it? Isn't this liquor too strong?"
Su Wuxian laughed until tears streamed down his face, and he raised his phone to record the scene.
"What do you care? Senior brother, this is a memorable scene!"
"Senior brother, just go along with him. Old Lu has never beaten you in his life, so what's wrong with winning once at the dinner table?"
"Why……"
Zhang Zhiwei sighed and reached out to steady Lu Jin, who was about to slide under the table:
"Alright, Lao Lu, let's forget about the sworn brotherhood."
"I won't hit your face anymore, okay?"
"You said it yourself!"
As if he had received some kind of promise, Lu Jin chuckled twice, then tilted his head and fell asleep on the table.
He was still muttering to himself:
"I, Lu Jin... possess the Triple Rebirth... invincible... Zhang Zhiwei... has also failed me..."
Seeing this, everyone burst into laughter.
These elderly people, who stand at the top of the world of supernatural beings, are usually dignified and profound.
But at this moment, with wine and friends, they are nothing more than a group of lovable old rascals.
"alright."
Su Wuxian put away his phone and looked at the starry sky:
"Everyone, get a good rest tonight."
"tomorrow……"
"The most exciting things are yet to come."
……
The next morning, in the dense forest behind Longhu Mountain.
Still reeling from the hangover, Lu Jin rubbed his temples, which felt like they were about to explode, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
It wasn't just because of the headache, but also because of the shame.
"Good morning, Lao Lu."
Zhang Zhiwei, carrying a thermos, walked over with a smile, his eyes behind his sunglasses full of mockery.
"Did you sleep well last night? Oh my, I didn't expect you to be so loyal and righteous at your age, insisting on becoming sworn brothers with this old Taoist priest..."
"Shut up!!"
Lu Jin's face flushed red, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Zhang Zhiwei! If you dare to utter a single word about what happened last night, I... I'll fight you to the death!"
"That was just drunken nonsense! It doesn't count! Absolutely doesn't count!"
"Okay, okay, that doesn't count."
Su Wuxian walked by, waving his phone:
"However, I've already backed up the video three times, on the cloud, my hard drive, and Zhang Chulan's phone. Brother Lu, if you ever want to renege on your promise... hehe."
Lu Jin: "..."
Is Longhu Mountain a bandit's den?
I knew nothing good would come from being with Zhang Zhiwei and Su Wuxian!
Lu Jin completely shut down, refusing to leave the stage no matter what, and sat on the platform drinking tea with a dark expression.
"Alright, enough chit-chat."
"Comrades, did you all get a good night's rest last night?"
Su Wuxian put his phone away and pointed to the dense forest behind him shrouded in thick fog:
"If there are no further questions, all contestants may proceed to the arena!"
"Because the second event yesterday caused some psychological trauma to everyone, our competition committee has decided to hold an extra round to soothe everyone's wounded hearts."
"Next up is the tiebreaker round, get ready to begin!"
"The competition venue is in the dense forest behind the mountain!"
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing.
The once familiar woods behind the mountain have now changed drastically.
Countless thick vines coiled around the tree trunks like snakes, huge broad-leaved plants blocked out the sky, and the ground was covered with strange flowers and plants that had never been seen before.
If you weren't told this was Longhu Mountain, you'd think you were in the Amazon rainforest.
"What happened that night?"
At the entrance to the jungle.
Su Wuxian, holding a megaphone, stood at the entrance of the woods, looking quite spirited.
"This project is called—Jungle Adventure!"
"The rules are simple: hidden in the heart of this forest is a 'golden pine cone.' Whoever gets it first and brings it out of the forest within ten minutes is the champion!"
"Looking for something? That shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
"Has the advisor truly reformed?"
Zhang Chulan was a little confused. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned.
"I just went in and ran around with my Xunlei VIP membership... Holy crap?!"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Chulan's eyes suddenly widened.
At the entrance to the dense forest, a small figure stood.
Su Duo was wearing overalls and a cute little straw hat today. Instead of carrying a weapon, she was holding a bag of... fertilizer?
She looked at all the contestants and bowed politely.
"Hello uncles and elders, I am today's... gatekeeper."
"Su Duo?"
Wang Ye's heart skipped a beat:
"Master Su, are you asking Junior Sister to stop us? Well... we're too embarrassed to do it."
"You don't need to do it."
Su Wuxian chuckled mischievously and patted Su Duo's little head:
"Girl, let's begin. Let these ignorant uncles see how well we're doing in our gardening class."
"Um."
Su Duo nodded.
She stretched out her little hand, grabbed a handful of fertilizer, and threw it into the air.
A stream of emerald green energy erupted from her body and merged with the surrounding vegetation.
"Everything...revels."
Rumble!!!
The earth trembled.
The once tranquil forest seemed to come alive in an instant!
Trees grew taller, vines grew wildly, and countless thorns, like giant pythons, weaved through the forest, forming an impenetrable green maze.
That dense forest was Su Duo's masterpiece in one night!
The vibrant flowers opened their enormous flower heads, revealing sharp, serrated teeth that dripped with sticky sap.
"Gulp."
Zhang Chulan swallowed hard and took a step back.
"Master...is this a gardening class? Or is this Plants vs. Zombies?!"
"Are we zombies???"
"Let's not call it Jungle Adventure, let's just call it Plants vs. Inhumans!"
"Enough talk! Start the timer! Charge!"
Su Wuxian gave the order.
