Chapter 1550 - 582: Xu Nuo’s
Qi Siyuan waved her hand directly: "How can this be right? We’ve only played two rounds; we will definitely beat you later! Boss Zhang, you can’t just give up, right?"Xu Nuo also said indignantly, "Yeah, you’ve only won two rounds; we’ll definitely win it back!"
Zhang Jingdong saw they were taking the bait and immediately said, "Alright, since you’re so confident, let’s continue."
"I’ll give you another chance. Do you want to keep playing this game, or do you want to switch to a new one?"
Qi Siyuan exchanged a glance with Xu Nuo, then Qi Siyuan said, "You can first explain the rules of the new game, and then we’ll decide whether to switch to the new game."
"You two really are getting craftier, huh? Fine, let me introduce this new game to you right now."
"The name of the new game is ’Hard to Say What’s in the Heart.’ The rules are actually quite simple. You assign each number from 1 to 9 to a sport, like 1 is archery, 2 is table tennis... We memorize these corresponding numbers and sports, then take turns calling out numbers and have the others say the sport. If someone answers wrong, they lose."
"So, what do you think? Isn’t this game pretty fun too?"
Qi Siyuan furrowed her brow initially, then turned to Xu Nuo: "Nuonuo, what do you think?"
Xu Nuo thought quickly and then said to Zhang Jingdong, "When you ask us, can we help each other out?"
Zhang Jingdong casually replied, "Since you haven’t won a single game yet, I’ll cut you some slack. You can!"
At these words, Qi Siyuan instantly realized that this gave them a distinct advantage compared to the previous game.
She then leaned over to Xu Nuo’s ear and said, "This way, we each only need to memorize four or five, and we’ll have an edge over him alone."
Xu Nuo returned her a look that said "Exactly."
Qi Siyuan immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Then let’s play this new game!"
Zhang Jingdong seized the moment to say, "Because you two can split the task, with one remembering four words and the other five, while I need to remember all nine, your chances of winning are clearly better than mine. So I must say in advance that the punishment for this game will be much harder than the previous one. You should consider carefully before deciding whether you want to play this game."
Qi Siyuan responded bluntly, "Boss Zhang, to be honest, you’re weaving your own trap here."
"Given that in this game our chances of winning are higher than yours, yet you want to increase the difficulty of the punishment again, you’re basically asking for trouble. So we’re definitely going to continue with the game, and, in fact, we advise you to reconsider whether you really want to increase the punishment’s difficulty."
Zhang Jingdong shrugged, "Alright, since that’s what you think, let’s start the game now. The higher the punishment, the better. If I dare to play, then I’m willing to accept the consequences!"
Xu Nuo felt a twinge of something amiss because Zhang Jingdong seemed too composed, but she didn’t know what to say about it.
Qi Siyuan sweetly said, "Okay, since you’ve put it that way, let’s start. How do we decide which sport corresponds to which number?"
Zhang Jingdong said smoothly, "To be fair, you pick five, and I’ll pick four."
"Tsk tsk, Boss Zhang, you really are game. Okay, you go first."
Zhang Jingdong pretended to think for a moment and then said, "1 is badminton, 2 is table tennis, 3 is swimming, 4 is water polo."
Qi Siyuan quickly signaled with her eyes to Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo paused briefly and then said, "5 is basketball, 6 is volleyball, 7 is judo, 8 is boxing, 9 is diving."
Zhang Jingdong pretended to memorize for ten seconds, then said, "Have you memorized everything now?"
Xu Nuo nodded first, followed by Qi Siyuan.
Zhang Jingdong then said, "Alright, let’s officially start the game. Do you want to ask first, or answer first?"
Qi Siyuan replied, "We’ll answer first."
Zhang Jingdong chuckled immediately, "Haha, it seems you’ve really memorized everything now. Alright, I’ll ask first, who will answer first?"
"But let’s make it clear beforehand, this time you have to get all the answers right to win, and your reaction time can’t exceed three seconds. Is that okay?"
Xu Nuo and Qi Siyuan exchanged confident glances and then nodded firmly.
Zhang Jingdong felt a surge of excitement, "Who will answer first?"
Xu Nuo stepped forward, "I’ll go first."
Zhang Jingdong deliberately paused for five seconds, then suddenly said, "6...three...two..."
Just as Zhang Jingdong counted down to "two," Xu Nuo immediately answered, "Volleyball!"
Zhang Jingdong feigned disappointment, "Alright, you got it right!"
Xu Nuo instantly rejoiced, high-fiving Qi Siyuan, and then she said, "Go get ’em!"
Qi Siyuan nodded and then stepped forward, "Boss Zhang, your turn!"
Zhang Jingdong blinked rapidly, paused for a good ten seconds, and then suddenly said, "4...three...two..."
And just as he was about to say "one," Qi Siyuan blurted out in a hurry, "Basketball!"
Hearing this answer, the excitement and anticipation on Xu Nuo’s face turned to despair in an instant.
While Zhang Jingdong’s face shifted from tension and disappointment to sheer delight: "Haha... Sorry, Qi Siyuan, your answer is wrong, you lost again!"
