Chapter 505: Chapter 231: So envious of Sister Fish, having such a boyfriend!_1

The hurricane ceased, and some more cubes around the rooftop tumbled down.

Adding up to the previous ones, the total number of fallen cubes had become considerable, so even the least observant person could tell that a lot of cubes were missing.

A tremendous pressure landed on everyone’s shoulders in an instant, making them tense up immediately, because they knew that time was running out.

There was no need to wait for all the cubes to fall off; as soon as the cubes that were inaccessible due to their feathers were gone, it meant elimination.

Under the pressure of life and death, no urging from Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao was needed, as most started to act desperately, rushing toward the edge of the rooftop to start jumping between cubes.

"Get lost, I don’t want to see you again!"

Little Fairy screamed.

"Qin Qin, I didn’t mean to do this, I didn’t want it to be this way, believe me!"

Zeng Guoxue was still entangling with Little Fairy, with an attitude suggesting that he did it all for her good, insisting she should forgive him.

Bang! Bang!

The falling began again.

The bodies bursting upon impact and the splattering flesh tightened Little Fairy’s nerves.

"Little Fairy, hurry up!"

Hua Yue Yu persuaded her, having obtained two feathers and thus securing her safety.

"Sister Fish, wuwuwu, isn’t there another way?"

Little Fairy cried pitifully. She had a bit of acrophobia to begin with, and having been burned now, although not severely, the pain on her scalp and right hand was intense, especially her eyes; some of the foam from the fire extinguisher had gotten in, causing immense pain.

Hua Yue Yu looked at Lin Baici.

"I have an idea, but I’m not sure if it’ll work?"

Lin Baici observed the feathers: "We can’t help each other to take the feathers, but can we pick up the feathers that others have discarded?"

"You mean..."

Xia Hongyao hadn’t caught on yet.

"It’s a good idea, but what if we’re not allowed to take extra feathers?"

Hua Yue Yu was worried Lin Baici would be punished.

"Let’s give it a try!"

Lin Baici crouched down, took out a box of canned herbal tea and a roll of tape from the Black Tripod Bowl, and started stuffing them into a backpack: "Little Fairy, I’ll throw the feathers over, and you pick them up. If you’re too scared, forget it!"

Lin Baici did not insist.

"I... I dare!"

She thought, already burned once, what’s one more time: "Thank you! Thank you, big brother!"

"What’s it got to do with you!"

Zeng Guoxue rushed over to Lin Baici’s side: "Give me the herbal tea, I’ll do it!"

Zeng Guoxue, perhaps spoiled by his parents, was too self-centered. He reached out to snatch Lin Baici’s backpack.

Lin Baici wasn’t one to indulge such foul behavior, and with a swift movement of his right hand, he slapped Zeng Guoxue across the face.

Slap!

Zeng Guoxue’s head jerked to the side, his face stinging with pain.

"Damn it!"

Zeng Guoxue cursed, lunging at Lin Baici like a mad dog, trying to punch at his nose.

Lin Baici didn’t even bother to dodge and simply let fly a kick, landing it in Zeng Guoxue’s stomach.

Bang!

Zeng Guoxue was kicked back seven or eight meters and tumbled several times upon hitting the ground.

The hurricane came.

This time no one fell, and as the wind ceased, Lin Baici immediately ran towards the edge of the rooftop.

"Red Medicine, don’t come up!"

Lin Baici cautioned.

Although he was capable of jumping several meters to cubes far away, he didn’t take the risk. Instead, he chose the nearest ones and minimized the risk as much as possible.

In twenty-five seconds, Lin Baici had jumped over sixteen platforms. After grabbing a feather, he quickly taped it to a can of herbal tea and swung his arm, tossing it toward the rooftop.

Bang!

The can traced a beautiful arc through the air, landing on the rooftop.

Many eyes followed it, and those who were too afraid of heights to jump became tempted. But fearing the flames, they didn’t dare to pick it up.

Little Fairy bit her lip and steeled herself. She ran towards the can and tore off the feather.

"No problems?"

Seeing no flames burst forth, Little Fairy was overjoyed. Others took notice and began to call out to Lin Baici:

"Handsome, get me a couple of feathers!"

"Please, I’ll die otherwise!"

"Don’t you know first come, first served? Get in line at the back!"

"Line up your mom!"

People began arguing, and some with hotter tempers started shoving each other.

After throwing the cans, Lin Baici didn’t return but instead leaped down to grab a feather, succeeded, and threw it onto the rooftop.

Bang!

All eyes turned to the sight, and they surged forward like dogs fighting for food.

"Back off, that’s for me from big brother!"

Little Fairy shouted, but to no avail. In a life-or-death situation, decorum had vanished.

"Little Bai, come back quick, the hurricane’s coming!"

Hua Yue Yu was worried as she kept an eye on her watch, timing everything.

Lin Baici threw two more cans and began to leap back. When he was more than ten meters away from the rooftop, he grabbed the Giant Locust Leg, summoned his strength, and jumped.

Whoosh!

With the boost from Cat Step Light Charm, Lin Baici landed gracefully on the rooftop.

The hurricane rose, but Lin Baici was immovable with the feather in his hand; those grappling for feathers were blown about clumsily.

When the hurricane subsided, two of the viewers who had managed to snatch feathers hurried over to thank him.

"Thank you, handsome guy, I am Hua Yue Yu’s wealthy livestream fan, Big Sword of Linke. I’ve gifted her several airplanes!"

The man speaking wasn’t very big-headed, but he was emotionally intelligent.

He actually wasn’t Hua Yue Yu’s tycoon fan, nor had he ever tipped an airplane, he always freeloaded. But who would know that?

This Airplane Bro, seeing Lin Baici and Hua Yue Yu together and knowing they had a close relationship, understood that only by going through Hua Yue Yu could he persuade this handsome guy to lend a helping hand.

Anyway, his phone was broken; he couldn’t open the Shark Station app, so there was no way to tell if he really was Hua Yue Yu’s lavish livestream fan.

Another who heard him curse silently at the slyness didn’t want to be left out: "I’ve gifted Sister Fish a big rocket before!"

Lin Baici looked at the Airplane Bro and slapped him right away.

Slap!

The sound of the slap was crisp.

"Eh?"

Airplane Bro covered his face, dumbfounded. Why only hit me?

Could it be because I’m ugly?

Rocket Bro, seeing Airplane Bro getting slapped, instinctively stepped back. But then he realized retreating might earn him an even harsher beating, so he quickly stepped forward again, smiling profusely at Lin Baici.

Go ahead and hit!

If taking a slap saves my life, I can bear it.

"Do you think I’m stupid? Yue Yu’s fans all call her Sister Fish!"

Lin Baici was speechless; these guys had enough brains to pretend to be Hua Yue Yu’s rich fans and even mentioned a nickname, but were dumb enough to directly call out Hua Yue Yu’s name.

"..."

Airplane Bro, hearing Lin Baici’s words, suddenly felt the slap wasn’t unjustified; he even wanted to slap himself.

"Impressive!"

Xia Hongyao couldn’t help but admire as Little Linzi’s deductive skills were truly formidable.

Lin Baici glanced at the third person who had picked up feathers but didn’t come over, loudly warning, "I’m telling you, anyone who has picked up one feather should not pick again. Go jump on the cubes and get your own; people have to save themselves."

"I can give you money!"

A youth dressed in understated luxury spoke up, "Will a hundred thousand do?"

Lin Baici didn’t pay him any attention, urgently moving to jump onto the cubes to grab feathers.

"Will it do or not, just say a word?"

The elegant youth’s family owned more than a dozen rental properties; his daily leisure activity was playing games, so he was not physically fit: "If that’s not enough, I can add more!"

"Do you think God Lin needs your money?"

Hua Yue Yu looked down on him; she would call him God Lin when there were outsiders.

Lin Baici, moving swiftly yet gracefully, jumped on the cubes. After picking up feathers, he taped them onto the iced tea cans and tossed them toward the rooftop.

Everyone followed his movements, like a flock of poultry waiting to be fed.

As the iced tea cans fell, they immediately swarmed over, frantically scrambling for them.

Lin Baici, after picking up five feathers, jumped back to the rooftop.

The hurricane arrived, but as he had feathers, he was safe and sound, but the others weren’t so lucky; the hurricane’s wind speed doubled suddenly.

Many people were blown away, tumbling across the rooftop.

"Ah!"

Little Fairy was blown away.

Lin Baici rushed over, grabbed her wrist, but the moment he did, he too felt the immense force of the wind, causing him to stagger. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and with great strength, he yanked Little Fairy back, pinning her to the ground.

The hurricane stopped. Xia Hongyao quickly surveyed the situation and discovered that dozens of people were missing, and, even more terrifying, more cubes had fallen from the edges of the rooftop.

"Why are there only so few cubes left?"

Some people were still complaining, while others had already dashed out, seizing the last chances to fight for their lives.

"Watch out for powder falling from above!"

Gu Qingqiu warned everyone, but after waiting half a minute without incident, just as she grew puzzled, those people fell, not onto the rooftop, but plummeting onto the surrounding cubes.

"Little Linzi, be careful!"

Xia Hongyao was startled. As she shouted her warning, Lin Baici was already dodging. He could even see the look of terror on the face of the person falling beside him.

Everyone was focused on jumping between the cubes, completely unprepared for this situation, resulting in a dozen unlucky souls being struck.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Their screams dwindled rapidly until they vanished without a trace.

Lin Baici tossed out a can: "Let Little Fairy get one first!"

The crowd, preparing to scramble, dared not move.

"Thank you, big brother!"

After Little Fairy picked up the can, she immediately held it close to her chest, crying a river. At this moment, her heart was filled with gratitude.

Because she knew without this handsome guy, she would have been doomed today.

Oh!

I’m so jealous of Sister Fish, having such a boyfriend!

Why can’t I have such good luck!

After tossing out three more feathered cans, Lin Baici returned, his brows furrowed, as the remaining ones weren’t so easy for an average person to grab.

The hurricane came and went; although everyone was prepared, they were still blown into disarray.

"Give me a few cans, and I’ll help too!"

Xia Hongyao suggested.

"No need, protect Yue Yu and Qingqiu!"

Lin Baici replied and set off again.

"???"

Xia Hongyao was completely baffled. Protect them for what reason? Could there still be monsters coming?

There were no monsters, but human hearts are unpredictable.

Just now, when Fat Bro saw the number of cubes diminishing and realized he couldn’t get a feather with his agility— even if he managed to grab a can Lin Baici tossed, he still needed another one, hence certain death—it shattered his mental state. Suddenly, he yelled and charged at those waiting at the rooftop’s edge, hoping to snag a feathered can.

Caught off guard, people pushed against each other, and many were knocked off the rooftop.
