Zheng Jie reflected on his own stupidity and quickly realized more possibilities.
Lu Xinyi’s sche very likely had planned follow-ups:
If any of the remaining two people gave Zheng Jie a thumbs-up, then Zheng Jie couldn’t tell at all who had actually given it.
If he mistakenly thought Lu Xinyi had given it and sent another eting invitation, perhaps another trap would be waiting for him.
And even if the current situation occurred, where Zheng Jie didn’t receive a single thumbs-up and Lu Xinyi’s fake thumbs-up was discovered, there would be no additional losses.
Because from the current ga chanisms, even if Zheng Jie was deceived, he had no way to convey this information to other players from Community 17.
"Forget it, she didn’t give a thumbs-down, which was already rciful. It’s my fault for being too stupid. I should wait and see if there are any more honest and trustworthy female players I can partner up with."
Zheng Jie felt his brain wasn’t suited for playing these scheming gas. While he was struggling with these thoughts, the eting room opened again.
...
This ti, a tall woman with long golden hair walked into the eting room.
Zheng Jie imdiately looked at her naplate: [Community 9 - Zhang Xiaoxia].
"Hello, I’m Zheng Jie. This ga is quite tiring, have so water."
Zheng Jie wasn’t particularly good at socializing or smooth-talking, so his words ca out sowhat stiffly, not very polished.
But he thought that since his attitude was friendly, he was smiling, and he was actively offering a bottle of water, this shouldn’t be a big problem.
However, Zhang Xiaoxia frowned deeply, looking completely impatient, "Mineral water? You’re giving this?"
Zheng Jie was stunned, completely confused by her words.
"What? I kindly offer you a bottle of water and you’re still not satisfied?"
Zhang Xiaoxia sat in her chair, arms crossed, scrutinizing Zheng Jie from head to toe.
"What are you pretending? What’s the point of pretending with such petty thoughts? You’re the third guy to give sothing, and also the most shabby. Can’t you feel that you’re being completely insincere? Let ask you, in this ga, you n do nothing and get 30,000 minutes of visa ti when leaving the ga. Find a female player to mutually thumbs-up in the final eting, and you get another 30,000. That’s 60,000 total, easily earned. Why? You give a bottle of water, nothing more than wanting to find so naive little girl and use this cheap gesture to trick her into mutually thumbs-upping in the final eting, earning that extra 30,000. If you had actually calculated this properly, you wouldn’t have the nerve to give just one bottle of water, would you?"
Zheng Jie was dumbfounded. He felt the ga’s version was changing too fast, and he couldn’t keep up at all.
In the first eting, they were still splitting the room fee, but by the fourth eting, giving a bottle of mineral water worth 50 minutes of visa ti was being scorned.
"Then what should I give?"
Zhang Xiaoxia’s face darkened, "The last guy said he was willing to give a 10,000-minute visa ti exchange voucher and wanted to mutually thumbs-up in the final eting. But I’m just considering it, I haven’t agreed yet."
Zheng Jie’s eyes widened, "Ten thousand minutes?"
Zhang Xiaoxia got angry, "What’s wrong? You n can earn 30,000 by doing nothing, and when you want to earn another 30,000, you can’t bear to give away 10,000?"
Zheng Jie felt sothing was off but couldn’t figure out how to refute it for the mont.
Zhang Xiaoxia waved her hand, "Alright, stop wasting words. There’s nothing to talk about with soone like you."
With that, she slamd down [You Pay].
Zheng Jie got even angrier. If there hadn’t been the previous argunt, he wouldn’t have minded paying these 200 minutes of visa ti, but now he changed his mind.
He still pressed [Split].
When the options didn’t match, both were simultaneously deducted 200 minutes of visa ti.
Zhang Xiaoxia pointed at Zheng Jie in shock, "You... do you have so serious problem? Just wait, I’m definitely giving you a thumbs-down!"
Zheng Jie was also angry, "Whatever, at worst we’ll give each other thumbs-downs!"
...
Ten minutes later, both stord out of the eting room angrily.
Without question, they both gave each other “Dislikes” at the end.
Zheng Jie was furious. Originally, giving a bottle of water was just out of politeness. A normal person, even if they didn’t need it, should say thank you, but she actually complained about it.
During the eting, he simply opened the mineral water and drank it himself.
It was just right since the ga had been going for over an hour, and he was sowhat thirsty.
At this point, the talent show had begun again. What surprised Zheng Jie was that this ti’s perforr No. 1 was a handso guy, very handso.
[Community 1 - Gao Jialiang].
He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, his hairstyle was well-grood, and his fashion sense was impeccable. He belonged to the type who would naturally attract many second glances walking down the street.
Perforr No. 2 was an aunt who looked to be in her forties, with kind eyebrows and eyes, except there seed to be so water stains on the chest of her clothes, probably accidentally spilled while drinking.
[Community 12 - Zhou Guifen].
The handso guy Gao Jialiang’s performance was singing plus dancing, while Aunt Zhou Guifen also sang, but with semi-professional bel canto technique.
This ti, no one was voted too many "Boring" votes to cause an early end to the talent show. They both perford for about three minutes.
[Perforr No. 1 received 34 ’Interesting’ votes, earning 3 additional ’Likes.’]
[Perforr No. 2 received 32 ’Interesting’ votes, earning 3 additional ’Likes.’]
The talent show ended with both perforrs’ thank-you gestures.
Zheng Jie couldn’t help but sigh, "Everyone’s so talented? Co on, buddy, you’re this handso but started the talent show before , is that reasonable?"
So far, all four players who participated in the talent show chose to sing.
Because singing was a cultural skill most people possessed, and this simple talent show stage had no accompanint, so pure dancing might be very awkward.
A cappella singing was relatively the easiest way to win favor.
Or if you really had the ability, you could sing and dance like this handso guy, which was better than just singing or just dancing, but it required good looks and skill.
This guy was indeed very handso, so handso that Zheng Jie almost wanted to deliberately vote "Boring."
But after all, his singing and dancing were indeed good, and there was nothing else to do while waiting for the next eting, so Zheng Jie still chose to listen to the end.
From this talent show’s participants, Zheng Jie also roughly guessed so of the ga’s selection rules.
Obviously, there were many players who hadn’t received even 1 like, and even this handso guy hadn’t gotten any.
This was normal because each player could only get one like per hour. If the people this handso guy was matched with had already given theirs away, then even if they wanted to give one, they couldn’t.
Since everyone had 0 likes, the ga could only randomly select. Zheng Jie also had 0 likes but wasn’t chosen.
But this didn’t matter because players who had already participated in talent shows definitely wouldn’t be selected again in the short term. If Zheng Jie continued to be unlucky and didn’t get any "Likes," he would eventually get on stage.
Rather than worrying about why he wasn’t selected, he should think about what kind of talent he could perform when the ti ca.
During the talent show, the big screen also frequently interspersed several new broadcasts.
