âI donât have any tools,â Bai Lin said lazily, âIâll get some back.â
Bai Xiâs group was still struggling with the first bomb.
They really did not have enough points. If they wanted to buy the bomb disposal instructions, they would not be able to buy a kit.
The staff member kept hinting to them that they could think of something else through Bai Lin and the others. For example, they could borrow some points.
Bai Shao and Zhao Yuan had just embarrassed themselves at Bai Linâs place and did not want to go. Fan Feng had wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Bai Lin and the others, but Bai Xi did not let him do as he wished.
Bai Xi looked at Jin Ran gently. âXiao Ran, you and Bai Lin used to be in the same team. She took a good care of you too. If you ask, sheâll definitely help.
You should go.â
Jin Ran pursed her lips. âYouâre borrowing points from Lin-jie, so what are you planning to repay her with?â
âItâs already said that weâre borrowing the points, itâs not like weâre not returning them to her,â Zhao Yuan said indifferently.
Jin Ran did not back down. âThereâs only one more day before this episode ends. We donât know what the next episode will be like. Besides, the grouping will change, and we wonât be able to calculate the points then.â
Zhao Yuan got angry and sneered, âThis wonât do, and that wonât do too. Why havenât you thought of a good solution though?â
Bai Xi patted Jin Ranâs hand, causing the latter to tremble and subconsciously shake her off.
Bai Xi did not seem to mind at all and chuckled, âXiao Ran, you donât have to be embarrassed. My sister cares a lot about her friends, so thereâs definitely no problem for you to go. Besides, you donât want to be eliminated, do you?
âThatâs enough, Fan Feng said impatiently, âThereâs no end to it. Itâs a waste of time. Iâll go find Bai Lin.â
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice came from behind them.
âI think I heard my name.â Bai Lin put her hands in her pockets and walked over with a smile. âDo you need any help?â
As soon as Bai Shao saw Bai Lin, he wanted to refute but when he thought of the predicament they were in, he could only sit back down and remain silent. Bai Xiâs eyes flickered. âJiejie, have you completed the mission on your side?â
âMn, I came out to see how you guys are doing. Not going well?â Bai Lin asked. âDo you need help?â
Bai Xi was startled. She was afraid of being tricked again, so she cautiously probed, âHow do you want to help, jiejie?
âI know how to defuse the bomb.â Bai Lin tapped the bomb on the ground with the tip of her foot. âYou guys gather your points and get me a toolkit. Iâll help you guys defuse it. How about it?â
Bai Linâs condition was reasonable. Bai Xi was even more confused. âThatâs it?â
Bai Lin laughed. âWhat else?â
After a pause, she suddenly realized, âYou mustnât want me to work too hard, so you want to pay me for my hard work, right? Youâre so kind.â
Bai Xi was not happy to be praised by someone she hated. The corner of her eyes twitched, and she said stiffly, âJiejie, you must be joking. Letâs redeem a beginner kit andâ¦â
Bai Lin interrupted her, âI want the advanced one. This bomb is complicated. It can only be defused with an advanced kit.â
[Hahaha, who was the one who took the pliers given by the production crew and defused the bomb?]
[My Lin-jieâs ability to lie through her teeth has improved again.]
If there were any other way, Bai Xi would never cooperate with Bai Lin, but now she could only swallow her anger and go to the staff member to redeem the advanced toolkit.
In their group, Jin Ran had the most points. They had originally planned to let her pay the full cost, but with Bai Linâs half-smile as if she could see through her thoughts, Bai Xi could only share the cost and redeem the advanced toolkit for her.
The bomb that they had been struggling with for a long time was defused by Bai Lin without any difficulty. It took less than ten minutes.
Even Bai Shao had to admit that Bai Lin was good in this.
After defusing their groupâs last bomb, Bai Xi was still in a daze. Why did Bai Lin help them?
The question was quickly answered.
After Bai Lin defused all their groupâs bombs, she used the toolkit they had redeemed to defuse her groupâs bomb.
âDidnât you say that youâve already settled them?â Bai Xi asked incredulously. She thought that Bai Lin could defuse the bombs without a toolkit and had only asked them to redeem one to save time.
If she had known earlier that Bai Lin had not defused the bomb, she would not have had nothing as her negotiation chip just now and was completely at Bai Linâs mercy. She could have even taken the opportunity to gain more benefits from Bai Lin.
Bai Xi wallowed in regret.
Bai Lin did not even raise her head. Her fingers quickly separate the wires using the tools. âYeah, two out of three bombs were disposed.. Isnât it considered done after rounding it up?
