Nothing happened overnight.

The next morning, Jiang Che woke up from his sleep.

As usual, he kicked Zhuge Ye, who was tangled around him, off the bed.

Zhuge Ye: "Ah... my back, hiss—"

Hu Mei'er's voice came from outside the door, "Breakfast is ready~"

Jiang Che: "Coming~"

Zhuge Ye rubbed his backside and chuckled, "Che, you're amazing. I give up. I'll just lie here and wait for you to carry us."

Jiang Che ignored Zhuge Ye and asked Xiaoman.

"Did anything happen while I was asleep last night?"

Xiaoman: "No."

"Are you sure?"

"I should be sure..."

"Damn! Did you fall asleep again?"

Xiaoman: "No, I didn't. Don't talk nonsense!"

Jiang Che couldn't help but facepalm.

Xiaoman, with no brains, is really unreliable. Luckily, nothing went wrong, or else there'd be no time to cry about it.

I wonder when I'll meet the second prisoner from the Myriad Heavens Prison. Hopefully, the next one will be more reliable...

After breakfast, aside from Hu Mei'er constantly flirting with Jiang Che, everything seemed normal.

Zhuge Ye seemed to understand.

This Uncanny Trial had been taken to a new level by Che.

Look at Hu Mei'er, she looks so content, clearly well taken care of last night.

Leaving the deputy village chief's house.

Zhuge Ye asked, "Che, what's the plan for today?"

"First, let's check on the other challengers, then head into the mountains."

"Into the mountains?" Zhuge Ye frowned, "Why go into the mountains? What if darkness falls, can we escape in time?"

Jiang Che: "What are you questioning?"

Zhuge Ye lightly patted Jiang Che's shoulder, "Oh, I'm just asking~"

"Honestly, you're not from the Zhuge family, are you?"

"......"

After "satisfying" Hu Mei'er last night, he got a clue.

Before the village chief disappeared, he mentioned going into the mountains, and no one has seen him since.

Therefore, the village chief is likely still somewhere in the mountains.

At this moment, a small group appeared on the deserted street.

It was Jiang Zihao and his group.

This Jiang Zihao, he's not a good person...

As for why I say that, well... it's a man's sixth sense.

Jiang Che squinted his eyes.

Twelve people...

Including himself and Zhuge Ye, that's fourteen people in total.

It's only been a day, and six people have already been eliminated...

Jiang Zihao was so smooth yesterday, and this is the result?

...

"Even though the task is for twelve days, there's no strict requirement for us to survive all twelve days."

"The main task is to find the village chief. As long as we find him, the main task will be complete, and even if we exit early, we'll still get the main task reward."

"This way, it counts as completing the Uncanny Bureau's qualification challenge." Jiang Zihao said seriously among the crowd.

"Then, Brother Hao, just take us to find the village chief."

"This D-level challenge, not to mention the danger, I still have no clue..."

"Yeah, even if there were fixed tasks every day, it would be better. Now I feel like a headless chicken, not knowing when I'll be done for."

"The family that invited me served me rotten meat last night, and this morning they gave me something like liquid food. I'm really about to break down."

"And when darkness falls, the house feels like it's on fire. I almost got cooked alive last night..."

"No matter what, we have to be careful. I saw a body hung like cured meat on the balcony by that family."

"Those people don't need to be mentioned. They were cursing Brother Hao yesterday, serves them right! Brother Hao, we're really counting on you this time."

Everyone was chattering around Jiang Zihao.

"Eh? Wasn't he the one cursing the loudest yesterday?"

Suddenly a voice rang out.

Zhuge Ye: "Yesterday, that guy was clearly cursing Jiang Zihao for being a scam."

Jiang Che: "You remembered wrong, the one cursing 'scam' was the one next to him, he was cursing 'idiot'."

Zhuge Ye: "Eh? You're right! Shh~ Let's keep it down~"

"......"

Jiang Zihao's face instantly darkened.

If you two were any louder, my ears would be deafened.

I'm the one involved, and I'm turning a blind eye, and you two are still blabbering?

You think you're so smart, huh?

"Brother Hao, I..."

"Sorry, Brother Hao..."

The two people "called out" by Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye lowered their heads and mumbled.

Jiang Zihao took a deep breath and said, "It's fine, it's all in the past."

Then, Jiang Zihao looked at Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye and said, "I'm glad to see you two."

Jiang Che: "Fake, not even a smile."

Zhuge Ye: "Exactly, give us a smile?"

Jiang Zihao: "......"

Zhuge Ye: "Or should I smile for you?"

"Hehehe."

Jiang Zihao forced a smile and said, "Haha, you two are really funny. Let's get to business. I have an immature idea. Would you like to hear it?"

Jiang Che: "You said it's immature yourself."

Zhuge Ye: "Then we won't listen."

Jiang Zihao: "......"

Damn it...

What kind of logic do these two have?

Can't you see I'm just being polite?

Damn chicken!

At this moment, the two people who were just "called out" stepped forward.

"What the hell are you two talking about!"

"Are you looking for trouble? Are you looking for trouble?!"

"Hey!" Jiang Zihao raised his hand and said, "Meeting is fate. Let's not argue over small things. Working together to pass is the most important."

Jiang Zihao looked at Jiang Che and smiled, "Brothers, why not join us?"

Before Jiang Che could speak, Zhuge Ye snorted and said, "I just heard you say you have no clues. Now you want us to join you to get free clues?"

Jiang Zihao: "Who said we have no clues?"

Zhuge Ye: "Then tell us, how would I know you have clues if you don't say?"

Jiang Zihao: "Heh, I know the village chief is... hmm?"

"You're the one trying to get free info!"

Zhuge Ye jumped back a step, "Hmm?! Juvenile, quick reflexes!"

Jiang Zihao shook his head with a smile and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you. We should be helping each other."

"Brother Hao, is that necessary?"

"Yeah, Brother Hao, they clearly want free info, and you're still telling them? Idiot, I mean, it's not necessary..."

"......" Jiang Zihao suppressed his inner anger.

Calling them freeloaders, aren't you guys freeloaders too?

Jiang Zihao discreetly assessed Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye.

He saw it clearly yesterday.

While everyone was looking for a house, these two rushed into one first.

Now, let's be friendly and see what secrets these two are hiding.

Jiang Zihao cleared his throat and said, "Although the task is different from the strategy I know, there's a clue that might be useful."

"Before the village chief disappeared, he went into the mountains."

"So I plan to check the mountains. Why don't you two join us?"

Zhuge Ye: "???, Damn, how does this guy know?"

Jiang Che: "Maybe he overheard when I told you just now."

Zhuge Ye looked at Jiang Zihao with disdain, "Damn, shameless!"

"Hiss—" Jiang Zihao took a sharp breath, feeling his heart about to stop.

Damn it...

When did I eavesdrop?

And who's shameless?

Who! Is! Shameless!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!
