Chapter 213: Chapter 118: The Heroic Ballad of Everyman!_1

"Is he up to it?"

Feng Qin questioned.

The boy Lin Baici had chosen was short, probably not even 1.6 meters tall, skinny as an underdeveloped stalk of grain.

"Catching a flying disk is about agility, coordination between the body and eyes, not about being taller, right?"

Lin Baici could guess what number 24 was thinking: he wanted to pick someone who looked athletic, but where could you find so many of those to select from?

Moreover, the Eater God had just assessed the boy.

[From a remote mountainous region, grew up catching birds and fishing, moves flexibly.]

"How about I go second?"

The short boy wasn’t selfish; he didn’t refuse, but was just worried that if he went first and messed up, it would severely affect morale.

No, that’s not right,

If he messed up, there would be no follow-up.

"No worries, I believe in you!"

Lin Baici stuffed the Leg of Giant Locust into his hands: "Hurry and have a few jumps to get used to it!"

"Oh!"

The short boy put strength into his toes and lept.

Whoosh!

Straight up to four meters high.

"Damn!"

The short boy was startled.

A Sled Dog carrying a flying disk in its mouth, its tail wagging, walked off into the distance.

"Quick, keep up, you can do it!"

Lin Baici gave the short boy a slap on the back.

Everyone watched the short boy.

"Little Linzi..."

Xia Hongyao felt a bit of guilt; it had been her intention to save others, yet in the end, it was Lin Baici who had put in the effort, convincing these people.

"There’s no need to blame yourself. You’re part of the Bureau of Safety, a national official agency. If even you don’t have the will to save ordinary people, then the Bureau would be really awful,"

Lin Baici consoled Xia Hongyao: "Moreover, even if you were an ordinary person, it’s not wrong to want to do a good deed, right? The world still needs some light!"

"I just feel like I’ve troubled you!"

Xia Hongyao sighed.

"It’s okay!"

Lin Baici smiled, the game was very simple, no need to use your brain, all dependent on the body, and Lin Baici was now extremely confident in his enhanced body.

Besides, the Eater God had said the success rate was over eighty percent. As long as he picked the right people and with the Leg of Giant Locust, there was no pressure at all.

The Sled Dogs threw the flying disk, and compared to the few times the delivery guy had caught it, the difficulty was indeed higher, but it was just a bit faster and further, that’s all.

The short boy immediately dashed out. Clutching the Leg of Giant Locust, he found he could run faster and more effortlessly, so he had extra energy to watch the flying disk’s trajectory.

Fearing the flying disk would be too close to the ground and a missed catch would leave no chance for recovery, he banked on the power of the Leg of Giant Locust to leap first, trying once for now.

Whoosh!

With a running start, over eight meters high.

Having often climbed trees and caught birds when he was young, the short boy didn’t panic at this height, reaching out to grab.

Slap!

He had the flying disk in hand.

When landing, he had planned to roll to cushion the fall and protect his legs, but the effect of the Taboo things meant he didn’t feel any pain in his feet.

"Yes, made it!"

Seeing the short boy get the flying disk, everyone cheered.

Lin Baici led the applause: "Thank you!"

"Thank you!"

The crowd followed in giving thanks.

The short boy, seeing everyone cheering for him, suddenly felt like he had done something significant, like a hero; he was so excited he couldn’t help but raise the flying disk in his hand.

Whoosh!

People around, hearing the commotion from Lin Baici’s group, all looked over.

"Shall we go over too?"

"Let’s go, no harm in taking advantage of the opportunity!"

"He won’t mind, will he?"

"Just butter him up with a few nice words, or at worst kowtow!"

Some people wanted to join, but there was no need for Lin Baici to reject them; the stray dogs themselves disagreed. Seeing the person who had caught the flying disk about to leave, they immediately surrounded him.

Woof woof!

The stray dogs barked chaotically, ready to choose their next victim.

"The game has started; no interruptions allowed!"

The stray dogs warned.

"I’m not interrupting; I just want to join them!"

Someone explained, but the stray dogs wouldn’t listen.

"If all the flying disks are this speed, there’s no challenge!"

Number 24 wasn’t concerned about others; seeing how the first round went, he was relieved.

"Handsome, you’re up next!"

Lin Baici called out.

Emboldened by the short boy’s successful example, the second person’s confidence soared.

"Watch me!"

The guy rolled up his sleeves.

The short boy ran back and handed the Leg of Giant Locust to Lin Baici.

"Any experience or insights to share?"

Lin Baici passed the Taboo thing to the second person.

"Ordinary people can’t jump that high, so you might feel unaccustomed the first time, and the flying disk is quite fast. If you’re too slow, you might not catch it, so I suggest getting ahead of it, aim to collide with it from the front using your chest, and try to hold it tight!"

Clearly, the short boy was quite intelligent: "And don’t be afraid of falling. With this weapon, falling from seven or eight meters high is no different than jumping off a curb, you won’t feel a thing."

Everyone listened attentively.

"Did you get all that?"

Number 24 asked the second person.

"Of course!"

The second person replied and then looked at Lin Baici: "Any other instructions?"

"Good luck!"

Lin Baici gave him a pat on the back: "Go for it!"

The guy ran off.

Vroom!

The flying disk spun out into the distance.

This guy’s athletic ability wasn’t bad either; he kept his eyes on the flying disk all the time, not watching his step.

Everyone feared he’d stumble, but he didn’t trip up. Seeing he was at a good height, he suddenly jumped, colliding with the target.

Slap!

The flying disk struck his chest, and he quickly hugged it tight.

Thud!

The guy landed, knelt on the ground with the momentum.

Everyone watched breathlessly.

The guy stood up straight, raising the flying disk high.
