A big storm was brewing in the little Ferris Wheel pa.s.senger car.

Wu Jin was instantly choked, “With you-you, ah…”

Wei s.h.i.+’s gaze darkened.

Under the light of the sun, the man’s deep facial features were sharply defined by the shadows cast, but his eyebrows were coated with frost. Wei s.h.i.+’s lips curved in a smile that threatened little white rabbits and suddenly pressed Wu Jin up against the viewing gla.s.s.

Wu Jin: “!!!”

Wei s.h.i.+’s face was expressionless as his sharp teeth nibbled on Wu Jin’s neck, right over the bite mark that had already disappeared. The air in the car was sluggish and heated, and for a moment, Wu Jin even had the illusion that he was being marked by a wild, adult male animal.

Wu Jin was caught by his vital point and was shocked still, “Don’t-don’t bite––”

Wei s.h.i.+’s rough palm shackled Wu Jin’s shoulder firmly, with the genetically modified teeth that were harder than normal people’s sc.r.a.ping along the youth’s pale and tender skin, “Remember, you’re already married.”

Wu Jin: “? Aren’t you two the same person? …” We’ve already gotten a wedding certificate together, so what if we share a kiss!

Wei s.h.i.+ raised his eyes, his gaze dark.

Wu Jin quivered. The man’s gaze was in the direction of the hot sun above the Ferris Wheel, and beneath the strong light, his pupils contracted, his eyelids raising slightly to reveal the whites of his eyes. The unreasonable 27 year old Wei s.h.i.+ was like a large, fierce beast.

This large, fierce beast even stuffed the hunting rifle into Wu Jin’s hand, unlocking the safety lock on the gun, and pointing the muzzle of the gun firmly at his own chest. Wei s.h.i.+ spoke coldly, “If he dares to do anything to you, do exactly this and shoot him down––”

Wu Jin: ?? That was him! The 16 year old cub…

In the next second, the fingers that were rough with gun calluses pushed into the trigger.

The muzzle of Wu Jin’s gun was still aimed at the big boss’s warm chest. He was so scared that he wailed, “Accidental fire! Don’t-don’t! Be careful so you don’t accidentally shoot!”

While they were in this position, a kiss that carried a strong predatory intent landed fiercely. The 27 year old Wei s.h.i.+ was domineering as he overwrote the 16 year old’s kiss.

The Ferris Wheel was about to finish its rotation.

Wei s.h.i.+ flicked the gun safety back on and rearranged Wu Jin’s messy curls back into their original appearance from the start of the compet.i.tion, casually rubbing over the spots he didn’t remember.

Wu Jin was still stunned and dazed.

What kind of strange development was this?! Could it be that the big boss at 27 and 16 weren’t the same person? Being jealous of himself, what kind of thought process was that&#k2013;&#k2013;

Across from him, Wei s.h.i.+ continued his interrogation, “You like him?”

Wu Jin blurted out subconsciously, “Yes, I like… like you!”

Wei s.h.i.+ narrowed his eyes. It was human nature to be attracted to youthfulness––

Wu Jin had a strong desire to survive, “… Aren’t I just extending my love to him because of you, turning a small love into a big love…”

After a long time, Wei s.h.i.+ nodded his head lightly. He used the chip he’d hidden in his wrist watch to send a message to Red. Wu Jin glanced at it and fell into another daze.

The big boss was putting out a kill contract.

That wasn’t right, he was putting out a kill contract on himself!

The big boss was actually telling Red to snipe at him. Red didn’t take his brain with him when he partic.i.p.ated in compet.i.tions, and thought that it was the big boss’s ploy to make himself appear brilliant and powerful. He agreed happily.

Wu Jin’s brain made a cracking noise.

It appeared that the big boss wouldn’t be able to maintain the status quo for long. The 27 year old Wei s.h.i.+ wouldn’t be hit even if there were ten Reds running around, but the 16 year old Wei s.h.i.+ in the arena was just like a dynamic target of a cub. The big boss’s move meant that he was holding the life of the 16 year old self in his subconscious firmly in his own hands.

The Ferris Wheel landed.

Red and Caesar pounced and piled inside, their ruddy faces so bright they were glowing, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with the joy of ‘copying Little Witch’s homework’.

When they swept by, Red nodded secretly to the big boss to express his a.s.surance that ‘he had it covered’.

Wu Jin: Oh no!

In that moment, his mind was filled with an 8PM dog blood drama plot. He and the Young!Wei s.h.i.+ had become a pair of desperate lovers in the arena! In order to protect his lover, he had to commit himself to the Adult!Wei s.h.i.+. Adult!Wei s.h.i.+ was experienced and cruel, and Young!Wei s.h.i.+ was unwilling to accept it. At the grand finale of the plot, in a battle between Adult!Wei s.h.i.+ and Young!Wei s.h.i.+, only one of them could live on. At the very end, the one who made it out of the ruins was actually…

Wei s.h.i.+: “Standing there, did you turn silly?”

On the other side, Caesar and Red had just climbed into the car. Beneath the Ferris Wheel, Thin Fire was currently beaming with joy as he explained to Wei Yan, “Those two fools! Can you pa.s.s the instance by sitting in the same carriage? Are they treating this like a kindergarten puzzle? Time on the Ferris Wheel doesn’t regress at a constant speed…”

Thin Fire paused.

On everyone’s wrist watch display, there was a change in the compet.i.tion rankings. The number of teams who had cleared the Ferris Wheel jumped up, going from 3 to 4.

Caesar and Red had completed the task. Thin Fire’s mouth opened so wide that an egg could practically be stuffed inside. A long time later, he finally remembered to manage his expression, “Holy s.h.i.+t!”

Taking the same pa.s.senger car as Wu Jin and Wei s.h.i.+ was really enough to pa.s.s that task!

All of a sudden, countless players flocked over to the Ferris Wheel. Wei Yan was the fastest to react. He blocked the ticket entrance with his body and his gun, reaching out to quickly pull Thin Fire over into the ride’s waiting area.

Overhead, Crosson’s Two Fools were singing and going wild, stopping just short of picking up oars to stir up more trouble.

Countless people rushed over––

Wei s.h.i.+ stretched out his arm, his expression cold as he protected Wu Jin.

The crowd of contestants were taken aback by G.o.d Wei’s presence and hurriedly s.h.i.+fted to the side. Before they left the Ferris Wheel, Wu Jin turned back to look at it again.

The Ferris Wheel was like a slowly rotating clock face.

The two brackets extending from the center of the circle to the ground were the fixed hands of the clock. The left frame was the hour hand, and the right was the minute hand. The 60 cars of varying colors corresponded to the minute marks on a clock.

It was at the moment when the position of the clock face and hands rotated to 9:45, that whoever was riding on the Ferris Wheel would pa.s.s the task.

Wu Jin retrieved his gaze.

Behind them, Stonehenge, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, and the Celtic and Etruria civilizations combined to form a winding torrent of Western European civilization that eventually came together at the Ferris Wheel.

The pendulum clock that Huygens had invented was the first ‘nautical clock’ in history.

Since then, accurate mechanical clocks had been officially used for navigational positioning and mechanical verification. After establis.h.i.+ng numerous sea routes, Western European civilization officially began to take off.

The ‘pendulum clock’ as represented by the Ferris Wheel was the bell of destiny for the entire European civilization.

From beside him, the big boss looked down at the itinerary list, “Next item, 11:19, the Brave Rapids.”

Wu Jin made an ‘ah’ sound of acknowledgement and pattered behind the big boss.

A normal 27 year old big boss was a survival show ‘carry machine’! Since ancient times, when two people travelled together, one of them was always responsible for planning out the whole itinerary while the other was responsible for being a silly fool.

Wu Jin happily followed behind the big boss, and his brain slowly, slowly emptied out.

Since he was so free now, he really started to want to eat a handheld wrap.

His thoughts drifted further; the 16 year old Little Wei must have never eaten one before…

From beside Wu Jin, in a dead corner where the cameras couldn’t see, Wei s.h.i.+ suddenly paused.

Wu Jin was nervous, “What’s the matter?”

Wei s.h.i.+ slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his expression was different as he stared blankly at Wu Jin.

Wu Jin was stunned, the 16 year old big boss was back!

Wu Jin: “Little cub––”

Wei s.h.i.+’s expression s.h.i.+fted. He lowered his head indifferently, and his eyes were unhappy, “Who were you calling just now.”

Wu Jin’s mind was a mess, “!!!” He’d pulled a trick to test him out?! Undoing the emotional lock had allowed him to discover new emotions, and so he’d put it to use like this?!

Wei s.h.i.+: “Hm?”

Wu Jin’s desire to survive broke out again. He laughed foolishly, “Calling-calling you! Isn’t that something from the fan circles? I was just using it casually, hehe…”

Wei s.h.i.+ looked expressionlessly at Wu Jin for a few seconds.

Then, he picked him up and continued to march into the fog.

In the Crosson Show studio.

Two hours into the game, the camera cut back to the ranking scoreboard once again. Amongst them, Jingyi had been the first to clear the Ferris Wheel, and Raphael, an Azure People’s Entertainment trainee who’d already pa.s.sed the pirate s.h.i.+p task ranked second. Wu Jin and Wei s.h.i.+ ranked third, and after that was Caesar and Red, who’d just gotten off the Ferris Wheel, and then Wei-Thin, who were currently riding in the Ferris Wheel.

“In sixth place…” Ying Xiangxiang glanced at the monitoring, “Dolma has s.n.a.t.c.hed up the next round on the Ferris Wheel, and Zoe and Wen Lin’s team appears to be very close to cracking the roller coaster. Wen Lin has the potential to be a very good a.s.sistant commander. Sixth place is currently tied between Dolma and White Moonlight.”

Blood Pigeon nodded.
