530: Chapter 501 Mysterious Grand Prize 530: Chapter 501 Mysterious Grand Prize “Stone-face guy, it’s just you and !
Let’s go!” Shi Qing’er said as she took Liu Hun’s arm, her little heart starting to pound wildly—hugging him felt completely different from hugging Qin Yan or Lin Xiaoxiang.
Liu Hun had initially wanted to hand off sothing he was holding to Qin Yan or Lin Xiaoxiang, but suddenly he realized it wouldn’t be quite right to give it to either of them, and he instantly understood what Lin Xiaoxiang had ant.
It seed Lin Xiaoxiang really knew people’s hearts, Liu Hun couldn’t help but sigh.
After the second rose-wall door opened, those fortunate enough to have drawn the clover handed it to the gatekeeper and then passed through this rose-wall door.
After this round of pure luck, only a few dozen people were left in the area, which now felt much more spacious.
Stepping through the door in the rose wall, the scene ahead looked much the sa as before, with another rose wall and a raised platform next to it.
The main difference was that there were now many chairs set out, and those who had co in could now sit instead of stand.
Zhu Jin reappeared on the platform, microphone in hand, and addressed the crowd, “Congratulations!
Congratulations!
You all are the lucky ones!
Heaven’s favorites!
As the saying goes, luck is also a part of ability, and clearly, you all are very capable!
Please, take a seat!”
After Zhu Jin finished speaking, dozens of people sat down.
Liu Hun inadvertently noticed that Sun Guangyao and Kong Zhen had co in, though he didn’t see Wu Yan.
However, Kong Zhen’s mouth was almost splitting to her ears with a smile—staying close to Sun Guangyao was her favorite thing to do.
“Ladies and gentlen!
There’s one more little test coming up!” Zhu Jin said in a tone that whetted everyone’s appetite.
As soon as they heard it was another test, everyone imdiately perked up, fully prepared.
“As the old saying goes, opportunity favors the prepared!” Zhu Jin finished, and imdiately, several staff mbers ca out from under the platform, each holding a tray.
Zhu Jin continued, “As a person of taste, what you show isn’t only in the way you talk or dress, but also in the accessories you wear!
Therefore, please place what you think best represents your taste on the staff’s dishes.
First, if you haven’t prepared and co without wearing any accessories, then this opportunity is not for you.
Secondly, your accessories will be given to the Taster for assessnt, and their answer will dictate whether you can pass through this door.”
“Oh my God!
I’m not wearing anything today!
Damn it!
Just when I was marveling at my own good luck!
I didn’t think my luck would run out so quickly!”
“Fortunately, I’m wearing a pair of earrings today.
They aren’t worth much, but I personally think they look rather nice, so all I can do now is try my luck!”
“I think this Louis Vuitton ring I’ve got should be fine; it’s a luxury brand after all, so it should be okay!”
“…”
Again, it was a scene of mixed emotions—those who had forgotten to wear accessories left dejectedly, while those with accessories hurriedly chose their best to place on the staff’s trays.
Shi Qing’er placed her diamond necklace on the tray, while Liu Hun placed his watch, playing along with a bit of curiosity raised in him.
Each accessory was numbered by the staff, and they handed the corresponding numbers to the owners of the accessories.
Liu Hun’s number was seven, and Shi Qing’er’s was eight.
Half of dozens of people were left, then the staff gradually took the jewelry behind another rose wall for the Taster to appraise.
The preliminary appraisals didn’t take much ti, and soon, the staff returned with the trays just as they were.
Zhu Jin had already received the results and stood on the platform with a smile, addressing the audience, “Ladies and gentlen!
In my hand are the numbers that will pass through the next door, and they are…
number three!”
“Ah!
It’s !
It’s !” A young female model jumped up and hugged her companion.
“Number five…
number six… number seven…
number eight…”
As Zhu Jin announced each number, a joyous exclamation followed each one, and Shi Qing’er was no exception.
She grabbed Liu Hun’s neck and jumped up and down, almost snapping his neck, though she had no idea what the mysterious great surprise was, but this lucky feeling made her very happy.
In the end, a dozen or so lucky ones were selected by Zhu Jin, while the rest left with sighs of disappointnt.
The lucky dozen followed Zhu Jin through the next rose-wall door.
When Kong Zhen, hanging onto Sun Guangyao’s arm, saw Liu Hun and Shi Qing’er, she shook her head, rolled her eyes, and muttered, “Jeez, I really should have checked the almanac before leaving ho today; no matter where I go, I always seem to step in shit.”
“This nouveau riche only has so dirty money, and now he even has taste?
I’m starting to doubt the fairness of this test!” Sun Guangyao also wore a look of disdain.
“Ugh!
Really!
Why do we keep seeing them again!
They’re like bad pennies!” Shi Qing’er sighed heavily, then said to Sun Guangyao, “Getting cocky now?
Don’t you rember how you made your two won kneel just a mont ago?
If you doubt the fairness, then leave!
Go!
Go!
Go!”
Shi Qing’er’s words rendered Sun Guangyao speechless; he really didn’t want to leave.
“Little wench!
Don’t get too arrogant!
We will just not leave!
We’re going to stay here and slap your faces!
I’ll reclaim my place sooner or later!
And I’ll make you kneel and cry!” Kong Zhen harshly dropped the threat, then hooked arms with Sun Guangyao and walked through the rose gate.
“I’m so mad!
Let’s go!
Poker-face man!
Take care of them!” Shi Qing’er pulled Liu Hun and entered the rose gate as well.
Behind the rose gate, however, was a vastly different scene, surrounded by colorful, vibrant flowers, the chairs on the ground had been replaced with comfortable sofas, and of course, there was still a rose wall, which had also been refurbished.
“Welco!
Welco everyone!
You are very close to the mysterious grand prize!
But also… very far!” Zhu Jin said smilingly to everyone, paused, then continued, “The next challenge is still a small test.
Before the test, if you have companions, please sit together on a sofa.”
After Zhu Jin finished speaking, only Liu Hun with Shi Qing’er, and Sun Guangyao with Kong Zhen, the two pairs, sat on the sofas.
Then Zhu Jin continued, “If you don’t have a partner, please talk among yourselves for three minutes, then pick a partner you feel is suitable, form a team of two, and sit down on a sofa.”
Three minutes later, all the remaining people had selected their partners and sat down on the sofas, due to the many clusters of flowers, making each sofa quite distanced from another.
“Very good!” Zhu Jin said with a smile, “A person might know themselves well but may have limited or blind understanding of others.
A person might figure out their own taste, but could very well misunderstand what others like.”
As Zhu Jin spoke, staff mbers once again appeared, each holding a tray; the jewelry everyone had taken off was still on the trays and hadn’t been returned to them.
“Next, the staff will randomly bring a tray with two pieces of jewelry to you, of course not your own.
There are two pieces of paper and a pen in the tray.
Please write down the price of the jewelry you took off and hand it to the staff.
After ten minutes, stand up and explain the strengths and weaknesses of the jewelry you received, and give an on-the-spot valuation!
The closest valuation earns the highest points.
If any of the estimated values match exactly with the price written on the paper by the owners of the jewelry, then you and your partner will move directly to the next wall!” After Zhu Jin explained the rules of the ga to everyone, he signaled the staff with the trays to approach the participants.
Liu Hun and Shi Qing’er received a watch and a ring, and then Liu Hun wrote down the price of his watch and Shi Qing’er’s diamond necklace on the paper, and the staff took the paper and left.
Curiously, Shi Qing’er picked up the ring from the tray and saw “Kong Zhen” engraved inside, imdiately she disgustedly tossed it back into the tray, “Ugh… it’s that annoying woman’s thing!” Shi Qing’er said then looked up just in ti to see Kong Zhen tossing her diamond necklace in her hand.
“Hey hey hey!
Poker-face!
My necklace is in the hands of that annoying woman!
This is just tragic!
She better not damage my property!” Shi Qing’er said, pulling Liu Hun and pointing at Kong Zhen.
“How would she know the necklace is yours?!” Liu Hun asked, puzzled.
Shi Qing’er rolled her eyes at Liu Hun, “You really don’t understand won at all.
You n only notice a woman’s face and figure.”
“So, what do you won notice about other won?” Liu Hun genuinely asked.
“Their clothes, their styling, and what they wear and carry, especially the attractive ones, are rembered clearly,” Shi Qing’er explained to Liu Hun.
Living as a woman is truly exhausting, focusing not on the person but on the things they wear; Liu Hun thought to himself, now understanding why Kong Zhen recognized that the diamond necklace was Shi Qing’er’s.
This Prada diamond necklace indeed wasn’t just any eye-catcher.
“This cheap ring might just be worth a few dollars!
Could very well be so street stall goods,” Shi Qing’er said emotionally, utterly reluctant to touch it again.
“If you want to win, you can’t bring in your emotions; if we lose, they will be smugly gloating,” Liu Hun advised Shi Qing’er.
“Fine!
Fine!” Shi Qing’er pouted, she didn’t want to see the won who had just kneeled before her turn around and be arrogant in front of her.
“The ten minutes are up!
Now, number three and your partner, please explain the strengths and weaknesses of the jewelry you hold and the price!”
