539 Shocked; Lin Xiaoyao Regrets!

Amidst the discussion and noise, the 500 selected game participants put on their green sportswear and came to the spacious stadium.

They looked at the flashy lights around the stadium and could not help but let out a burst of discussion.

“The clothes are exactly the same as in the TV show!”

“But why don’t I see that big wooden figure?”

“What is that hot air balloon above us? It’s so big!”

“I wonder if there’ll be police officers with guns.”

“Do you guys think that one billion is real?”

“It’s probably just a gimmick.”

“But it’s already very good.”

…

Everyone was discussing non-stop, their faces full of smiles.

Obviously, they were all fans of Tentacle World.

At this moment, a loud and clear voice sounded from the stadium’s broadcast.

“Welcome to Tentacle World!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the red cloth on the huge hot air balloon was slowly removed.

In the next moment, a transparent glass cover appeared in everyone’s vision.

Inside the glass cover was a mountain of hundred-dollar bills.

“Wow!”

Everyone who participated in the game, the reporters, and the audience outside the stadium exclaimed in unison.

“Heavens!”

“So much money!”

“How much money is inside?”

“Could it be that the final winner will really get at least 500 million yuan like the news said?”

“Is that how much is inside?”

Everyone was so excited that they could not control themselves.

Originally, most people thought that the news promotion of the one billion yuan prize was just a gimmick.

Now that they saw so much cash, they understood that perhaps… it was all true!

Therefore, those who were not selected came to the staff outside the stadium and shouted.

“Hi, can I still register now?”

“Can I still participate in the Tentacle World event?”

“May I register?”

…

Even if there was still a chance, they wanted to try.

After all, this was an event with a total prize of one billion.

If they won, they would get at least 500 million!

500 million!

It could completely change a person’s life!

However, they did not have the slightest chance.

The staff members looked at the money in the hot air balloon and felt their throats go dry.

They gulped and said, “Sorry, it’s already past the event registration time.”

…

The originally excited participants became even more excited when they saw the money in the hot air balloon.

They kept shouting and clenching their fists. They were even more serious about this game.

Lin Xiaoyao, who was in the crowd, looked at the mountain of money above her head and said in a daze, “Brother.”

“What’s wrong?” Lin Fan asked.

“Can we cancel the event? It’s so much money!” Lin Xiaoyao said. As she spoke, tears seemed to flash in her eyes.

Although she already knew about the one billion yuan prize money beforehand, it was just a number then.

Now that she could see it with her own eyes, it was an incomparably shocking pile of money!

If there was no event, the money would be Lin Fan’s.

Lin Fan was her brother. Was a brother’s money not for his sister to spend?

This money could have all been hers!

Therefore, Lin Xiaoyao regretted it.

Lin Fan looked at Lin Xiaoyao’s pitiful face and could not help but smile as he patted her head. “Play hard and earn back the money.”

Lin Xiaoyao nodded vigorously as if she had been reinvigorated. “Yes!”

…

At this moment, a loud voice sounded from the broadcast again.

“Everyone should have seen it already. There’s 500 million yuan above your heads! It’s also the guaranteed prize money for the winner of this Tentacle World event!”

As soon as he said that, the scene became even noisier.

They had already guessed this outcome.

However, after it was confirmed, it was still difficult to calm down. They were extremely excited.

Regarding this…

The host did not pay much attention to it.

“Now, I will introduce the rules of the first game.”

In an instant, the entire scene fell silent.

The game participants in the stadium all pricked up their ears, afraid that they would miss out a word.

After all, this was an important event that determined whether or not they could get 500 million yuan in prize money!

In fact, it was not just the participants who quieted down. The reporters and spectators standing around the stadium also stopped talking.

This was definitely a hot topic for the reporters.

The audience, on the other hand, was looking forward to a similar event in the future.

In that case, they might have a chance to get a 500 million bonus.

…

“The name of the first round is called 1,2,3, Wooden Figure. When the wooden figure turns around, the participants can’t move their bodies. Otherwise, they’ll be eliminated!

“Anyone who successfully arrives at the destination from the starting position within the specified time will be considered to have cleared the stage! Those who clear the stage will receive a reward of 200,000 yuan. The losers will receive a reward of 100,000 yuan!”

The entire place was in an uproar again.

If they failed, they would still receive a reward of 100,000 yuan!

In other words, anyone who participated in the game could get at least 100,000 yuan!

For some people, 100,000 yuan was nothing. Perhaps it was just the price of a bottle of wine.

However, for many of these players, it was equivalent to a year’s salary!

If they cleared the first round, they could get 200,000 yuan!

This was money that the average person would have to work hard for two years to earn!

Previously, when many people saw the 500 million in cash above their heads, although they were excited, they still felt that it was just a gimmick and that they would not get the money at all.

At this moment, they completely threw this thought to the back of their minds now.

This was a game where one could get a lot of bonuses!

Thus, they were serious and excited about playing the games.

Outside the stadium, those who did not manage to participate were filled with envy.

At this moment, the curtain at the front of the stadium fell, and a tall and cute-looking figure appeared in front of them.

At the same time, two horizontal lines appeared on the stadium.

One was in front of the figure, and the other was in front of the participants.

“Game duration, three minutes!”

As soon as the host finished speaking, a large group of people in red clothes, masks, and weapons walked out from behind the stage.

They stared ahead, giving off an invisible sense of oppression.

Someone said in a low voice, “These people… Don’t tell me they’re holding real guns?”

“No, no, no. I don’t know.”

“It shouldn’t be possible, right?”

…

When they signed up, they definitely did not believe that firearms would be used.

However, they were a little hesitant now.

That was because there was too much money on the line!

“Countdown, begin!”

The host’s voice was getting louder and louder.

10!

9!

8!

…

Everyone stared unblinkingly at the screen on the stage. The numbers kept jumping, and their heartbeats began to accelerate along with these jumping numbers!
