Chapter 374: I Do
Chapter 374: I Do
"Hey, are you also a participant in 'I Want to Be the Treasure King'?"Wang De decided to ask first.
The girl nodded delicately with a soft chin movement:
"Yes, I am too."
Wang De asked: "Then which one of the six are you?"
The girl said: "I'm number 3, Song Qingqing."
After speaking, the girl continued with a soft plea:
"Good brother, please, please save me! If you can save me, I'm willing to give you one of the small treasures I found."
Song Qingqing opened the backpack she was tightly clutching in front of her.
She took out a box from inside.
She opened the box and pulled out two gold sheets.
She threw one of the gold sheets to Wang De.
It was clear that Song Qingqing was extremely weak - even throwing the gold sheet seemed to take all her strength.
Wang De had to walk forward more than ten steps to pick up that gold sheet.
"A small treasure - this is 100,000 yuan!"
Wang De picked up the gold sheet, his eyes lighting up.
Over there, Song Qingqing said: "Good brother, please save me quickly!"
Wang De raised his head.
Staring at Song Qingqing's face.
Although Song Qingqing wasn't as beautiful as his girlfriend, she was definitely still a beauty.
Especially since her face was extremely pure and innocent.
Making people unable to resist feeling protective of her.
But every time he thought about that rule about killing other participants, Wang De hesitated again.
He asked Song Qingqing: "Beauty, how many rounds have you played in this game?"
Song Qingqing said: "This is my second round."
Wang De asked Song Qingqing: "Then why did someone approach you and you agreed to sign the contract to participate in this game?"
Wang De felt his question was a bit stupid.
Wasn't everyone who came to play the game here to make money?
Song Qingqing said: "I really need money, my grandfather is seriously ill and hospitalized... I grew up in a single-parent family, my mother thought my father was too poor and abandoned both of us."
"My father has to work outside all year round to support the family."
"I lived with my grandparents..."
"So when a middle-aged man approached me and told me about this game... I agreed to participate..."
Song Qingqing said this with teary eyes, looking pitiful enough to melt anyone's heart.
Wang De said: "Can you prove what you're saying is true?"
"Do you have evidence?"
Song Qingqing quickly nodded, tears pattering randomly onto the soil.
Instantly absorbed by the earth.
She took out her phone, unlocked it, and opened her photo gallery.
She slid the phone over to Wang De's feet.
Wang De crouched down to pick up the phone.
He began scrolling through the photo gallery.
The gallery was filled entirely with photos of Song Qingqing with an elderly couple, and photos of a middle-aged man.
Besides these, there were photos and videos of an old man lying on a hospital bed, covered in tubes, barely alive.
Looking at these, Wang De's heart couldn't help but ache.
He accidentally exited the photo gallery and saw a volcano fundraising app next to it.
When he opened it, he found that Song Qingqing was using this software to raise funds for her sick grandfather.
At this point, Wang De no longer doubted.
He sighed deeply and said:
"Beauty, I believe you now, don't blame me for being suspicious."
"After all, I'm a beginner too, and there's that rule in the game about killing each other. I'm really scared."
"I don't want to harm others, but I don't want to be harmed either."
"As for this small treasure you gave me, I can't take it - this is your grandfather's life-saving money. If I took it, I'd be inhuman!!!"
Wang De walked over and returned both the phone and the gold sheet to Song Qingqing.
Song Qingqing gratefully covered her mouth with her left hand: "Thank you, thank you..."
Wang De crouched down, staring at Song Qingqing's foot that was caught in the animal trap.
He said: "I don't know who the jerk was who set this thing up - this is the first time I've seen one in real life."
Song Qingqing said tearfully: "I don't know who put it there either, maybe it was other game participants."
"Anyway, that person hid it under a large pile of fallen leaves, I didn't notice and got caught."
"Originally I wanted to pry this animal trap open myself, but I'm too weak - every time I pried it open a little, I couldn't move it anymore."
Wang De took a deep breath and said: "Alright, I'm going to pry it open now, bear with it."
Song Qingqing nodded.
Wang De adjusted his position to get better leverage.
Then he placed both hands on either side of the metal animal trap.
Immediately after, there was only the sound of him straining with a loud "Aaaahhhh!"
The animal trap was pried open in less than a second, going from 90 degrees to 180 degrees.
"Strange, this animal trap..."
After prying open the animal trap, Wang De wasn't particularly happy - he only felt very puzzled.
He had originally thought this animal trap would be difficult to pry open, probably requiring considerable effort, and maybe even being useless.
So why was it so easy?
It required no effort at all.
Never mind him - even a young child could probably pry it open.
Therefore, there was no reason why Song Qingqing, an adult woman, couldn't pry it open...
Moreover, why did the animal trap not feel like iron metal, but rather like plastic?!
Based on these various strange phenomena, a flower named [Disaster] quickly grew in Wang De's heart.
Sure enough, just as he wanted to stand up and get away from Song Qingqing,
He saw that at this moment, a dagger was already stabbed into his heart.
The moment the sharp dagger pierced his heart,
Blood immediately began seeping continuously from the wound made by the dagger.
Wang De fell backward.
Looking at the pure-looking Song Qingqing with disbelief and shock.
Song Qingqing at this moment remained just as pure.
Blinking her big eyes as she looked at Wang De.
She said:
"I like naive newcomers like you the most - they're the easiest to kill."
Before Wang De could open his mouth, he fell onto the muddy ground to his left.
Before dying, his eyes remained wide open.
He died with grievances unredressed.
And in the moment before his consciousness vanished,
The only thing Wang De thought about was that he would never see his girlfriend again...
In the live stream room.
The middle-aged uncle saw this scene and expressed his opinion:
[This woman is really vicious! And disgusting too, tricking people's sympathy to kill them.]
Bomb King: [Actually this is just like in society, some human traffickers pretend to be pitiful to trick people into falling for it, like some old lady saying she's starving and wants you to buy her noodles, then takes you to some so-called cheap and delicious noodle shop.]
Fairy Sister: [This male university student named Wang De is really pitiful. Actually I'm wondering, if Song Qingqing were a man, do you think Wang De would have fallen for it?]
I am the Hero: [Hard to say, after all many university students haven't entered society yet, their thinking is still foolishly kind-hearted, they might really help. The main thing is that Song Qingqing disguised herself too well, and she even had those photos and videos in her phone to prove her story.]
Grenade King: [You've analyzed so much, but it's all bullshit.]
[Obviously this Wang De was just too stupid to fall for this kind of trick. Of course, 'I Want to Be the Treasure King' isn't short of this kind of fool, nor is it short of pretenders like Song Qingqing.]
[Usually when experienced players meet experienced players, neither can trick the other, but what you really have to watch out for is when the other side is a beginner.]
...
Jiang Ran's group walked along the mountain path for half an hour and finally reached the so-called ancient pagoda built during the Qing Dynasty.
