Chapter 481: Chapter 218 Seal Fee_2

Liu Yu’s words were most likely aimed at Lin Baici, as even if Liu Yu was a bit dim, he wouldn’t dare offend Qian Jiahui. However, he forgot that Qian Jiahui and Lin Baici were on the same team, and passing an escape room was a team effort. His disdain for Lin Baici’s intelligence implied that the others were no better.

"Just so-so!"

Lin Baici thought the only thing really being played was dirty pool, the kind that could cost someone their life.

"Heh!"

Liu Yu shook his head, stubborn as a mule, "Come again next time, and I’ll lead you through."

Pfft! Ha!

Ji Xinyan couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing; even Bai Jiao shook her head with a smile.

Men, competing and growing jealous, is all normal. If they have accomplishments to show off, they can flaunt their superiority. But the question is, can’t they figure out the situation before they start showing off?

To Bai Jiao, Liu Yu now seemed like a complete idiot,

A purebred one.

"Liu Yu!"

Fang Mingyuan pointed toward the front desk, "Do you see something missing over there?"

Liu Zilu and Zhou Zhou had already gathered around Ji Xinyan, whispering among themselves.

Xu Daguan turned around, "What’s missing?"

"Eh? Seems like there’s a billboard missing? I remember it listed the names of the fastest escape room clearers, their schools, and their completion times!"

Liu Zilu’s observation skills were indeed meticulous. After she finished speaking, she looked at Fang Mingyuan, "What happened?"

Before Fang Mingyuan could explain, the front desk girl and her colleague came over, each carrying a few buckets of popcorn.

Xu Daguan and the others thought it was something Qian Jiahui bought, so they didn’t pay much attention, but they soon realized, after the front desk girl handed them popcorn, that she marched straight to Lin Baici.

She bowed her head, looking very deferential.

What’s going on?

This made her look like Lin Baici’s maidservant.

"Classmate, could you keep a secret if someone comes to ask you about it?"

The front desk girl felt a great pressure because Lin Baici hadn’t left; if other players came asking for the secrets to the escape room, and he revealed them, it would mean a huge loss for their business.

"Damn, right, how could I forget? One could disclose the escape room secrets online!"

Qian Jiahui realized belatedly.

"You just figured that out?"

Ji Xinyan rolled her eyes. Everyone was a college student; it was embarrassing to demand too much. Otherwise, they could ask not only for a refund but even for triple the amount without issue.

You should know, the cost to design and set up an escape room far exceeds that amount.

Once the clues to an escape room are known, any interest in it disappears.

"That ’clearance record’ of yours is fake, isn’t it?"

Lin Baici questioned.

"Ah?"

The front desk girl was taken aback, "It’s real!"

"Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

Lin Baici smiled.

"No!"

The front desk girl shook her head.

"You called your boss a while ago, didn’t you? His response strategy is too crude: not coming over to entertain us personally, nor willing to give a full refund."

Lin Baici chuckled, "This way, it’s clear they’ve never encountered someone who has cleared the room, nor have they thought of that consequence; otherwise, his reaction wouldn’t be like this!"

"Because I could easily post the guide in the group buying review section, so how would you make money then?"

Granted, some people enjoy the process of breaking through escape rooms, won’t peek at the answers, but others are trying to impress girls, to show their intellectual superiority, so they’ll definitely check the answers beforehand.

Once people who see the guide increase, those who come to play will keep analyzing the flaws of the escape room survival, trying to downplay it, saying there’s no challenge at all.

Why?

Because flaunting one’s superiority online is second nature to many.

When the reputation of the escape room falters, the boss either has to set up a new room or suffer through, but either way, a loss is certain.

"Ah?"

The front desk girl was scared because what Lin Baici said was very likely to happen. She instinctively wanted to pull out her phone and call the boss, but the phone suddenly rang.

She jumped, and upon pulling it out, saw it was the boss calling.

"Hello, boss!"

The front desk girl moved to the side to avoid being overheard by Lin Baici and the others.

"What’s going on?"

Liu Zilu was utterly confused, "Listening to your conversation, it seems like you’ve cleared all the escape rooms?"

"Impossible!"

Liu Yu blurted out instinctively, "We struggled so hard just to clear four, and they came out before us. How many could they have cleared?"

No one responded, simply looking at Lin Baici and his group, waiting for an explanation.

"You’d have to ask Old White why he’s so flashy," said Qian Jiahui with a laugh.

"Don’t use mortal thinking to guess the thoughts of a genius!"

Ji Xinyan chimed in after, not fond of Liu Yu and not caring in the least if her words offended anybody.

"Exactly, your limit is just Old White’s starting point!"

Fang Mingyuan commented.

"I think ’genius’ isn’t enough to describe Old White, ’God’ is more suitable!"

These heartfelt words came from Hu Wenwu because Lin Baici had somehow deduced from the boss’s reaction that the clearance record was fake.

That’s divine!

"For real, you cleared all the escape rooms?"

Xu Daguan grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth, crunching away.

"What else do you think happened to that billboard with the record on it?"

Fang Mingyuan replied with a question of his own.

"Holy shit, that’s awesome!"

Xu Daguan was awestruck; then he let out a sigh,

What a loss.

If he had been in the same group as Lin Baici and live-streamed the event, wouldn’t his popularity have skyrocketed? He would’ve definitely hit the homepage of Shark Station.

All that potential money!
