Chapter 33 Eating Hamburgers

Wang Hu picked up the second burger, thought for a moment, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and reached for the one in the middle instead.

"Hey, if you don't eat it soon, the time will run out," Sun Muyang said viciously, wiping his sweat.

Wang Hu sneered, "You talk too damn much."

He glared fiercely at Sun Muyang, then hardened his heart, quickly grabbed the box in the middle, and opened it. The burger inside was small and could be finished in two bites.

Wang Hu took a bite. After chewing a few times, his brow furrowed first, and then he quickly finished the rest of the burger. Afterward, he grabbed a bottle of water, drank it down, and frowned, saying, "Strange, this tastes like urine."

Ding!

Mysterious Person: Haha, Wang Hu, I added urine to that one.

Wang Hu immediately began to retch, cursing, "What the hell, you damn pervert! No wonder it smelled so foul."

Zhang Xiaofan stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Even though it's a bit disgusting, at least it proves it's not poisonous."

Wang Hu could only comfort himself with that thought. Many students nearby wanted to laugh at him, but under a glare from his fierce eyes, they dared not say another word.

"Hey, Sun Muyang, it's your turn," Wang Hu said coldly.

Sun Muyang walked over with a dark expression. The classroom was dead silent now. With only four burgers remaining, the probability of picking the poisoned one had increased significantly, making his choice agonizingly difficult.

In the end, he reached for the first burger and said, "Judging by human psychology, the first burger shouldn't be the poisoned one."

With that, he opened the box and took a bite directly. However, the moment he took the first bite, he couldn't help but retch violently. At the same time, a foul odor spread through the air. Sun Muyang cursed loudly, "Damn it, why does it smell so bad?"

He spat a few times, and among the food remnants was a clump of viscous slime.

The students were instantly dumbfounded. A female student covered her nose and said, "That's shit."

"Holy crap, they actually stuffed it with shit."

The students looked on in shock, many covering their noses and stepping back. With an ugly expression, Sun Muyang grabbed a prepared bottle of water and chugged it down, saying, "O-okay now."

Wang Hu burst into laughter. "Ha! You ate shit! Guess my luck is better after all."

"Don't celebrate too early. Even though I ate that crap, at least I'm still alive," Sun Muyang said coldly.

Wang Hu's face turned pale. Realizing that he still had to eat another burger, his expression instantly soured. Finally, reaching for the second burger, he muttered, "The fortune-teller said I'd live to be a hundred. I refuse to believe I'll die here."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, a thought struck Zhang Xiaofan. He quickly grabbed Wang Hu's arm and said, "Wait a second."

"What is it?" Wang Hu asked, frowning.

Zhang Xiaofan whispered a few words into his ear. Hearing this, Wang Hu was overjoyed and said, "Xiaofan, if you can save me this time, I, Wang Hu, will be your man from now on."

Zhang Xiaofan said, "Wait for my good news."

With that, he dragged a few friends to the stairwell outside the classroom. Two minutes later, he returned and whispered a few more words to Wang Hu.

Overjoyed, Wang Hu grabbed the second burger and took a huge bite. A moment later, he spat out several spiders and remarked, "Trying to disgust me with these again."

"You're cheating! Do you guys know which one is poisoned?!"

Sun Muyang pointed at Zhang Xiaofan, his face twisted in a ferocious sneer as he cursed.

Zhang Xiaofan replied coldly, "Accusations require evidence. We didn't set up this game; how could we possibly cheat?"

"That's right, stop shifting the blame with baseless accusations!"

"What's wrong with you guys from Class 6, Grade 1? Always spouting nonsense. This game was set up by a ghost; how could anyone cheat?"

The students from Class 4, Grade 2 were filled with righteous indignation, shouting and cursing.

Though the students from Class 6, Grade 1 felt resentful, they couldn't argue back. Everyone knew that cheating in this game was impossible because no one knew which burger contained the poison.

However, Li Yunfeng and the others were puzzled: what on earth did Zhang Xiaofan say to Wang Hu to make him make up his mind so quickly?

Wang Hu took a sip of water, looked triumphantly at Sun Muyang, and said, "Hey, kid, it's your turn. Choose between the two!"

Sun Muyang smiled coldly. "I'm about to choose, but Wang Hu, don't forget—as long as I win this round, you are dead in the next one!"

"That's right. If Sun Muyang wins, the next one will definitely be the poisoned burger. That means Wang Hu will be forced to eat it, or die anyway for failing to complete the game," a student analyzed aloud.

Wang Hu's face darkened, but he put on a brave face and retorted, "Why don't you worry about staying alive first?"

"Hmph, a choice between two..." Sun Muyang stared at the burgers. Arrogant as he acted, he was terrified inside. After all, it was a fifty-fifty choice now, the odds were too high, and one of the burgers was definitely fatal.

Wang Hu was also trembling, continuously chanting in his heart: *Eat the poison, eat the poison.*

Yet he knew all too well that if Sun Muyang didn't die from it, he would be the one to perish.

Unconsciously, he cast a pleading look at Zhang Xiaofan. Just moments ago, it was thanks to Zhang Xiaofan's tip that he chose the right burger and escaped death.

Catching Wang Hu's pleading gaze, Zhang Xiaofan nodded slightly.

With his sharp eyes, Sun Muyang caught the exchange between the two. Suddenly pointing at Zhang Xiaofan, he cursed, "You... you definitely know which burger is poisoned! Don't think I don't know."

Zhang Xiaofan said coldly, "Have you lost your mind? I'm no immortal; how would I know?"

"Hmph! First you told Wang Hu which burger to eat, and now you're exchanging secret glances and plotting with him. You think I wouldn't notice?" Sun Muyang sneered.

"Believe whatever you want. Twenty minutes are about to run out, and there are only two burgers left. If I had to choose, I'd pick the one on the right," Zhang Xiaofan said indifferently.

"Huh? The right one? Why?" Sun Muyang demanded coldly.

"My sense of smell is quite sharp. That burger only has a fragrant aroma," Zhang Xiaofan replied flatly.

"Hahahaha..." Sun Muyang suddenly burst into laughter, tears welling up in his eyes. He pointed at Zhang Xiaofan and said, "So you're telling me to pick the right one? Well, I won't!"

With that, he reached his hand toward the left.

Zhang Xiaofan's pupils constricted. However, Sun Muyang suddenly stopped his hand and said coldly, "You clearly want to help Wang Hu. There's no way you'd use such a primitive trick. Therefore, you deliberately made me think I should pick the left one—heh, I'm going to pick the right one!"

Grinning, he reached toward the right side while watching Zhang Xiaofan. Zhang Xiaofan maintained a completely blank expression, his eyes locked unwaveringly on the two burgers.

Wang Hu was so anxious he was scratching his head, wanting to curse aloud, but the atmosphere was far too tense. He was terrified that his loose mouth would ruin Zhang Xiaofan's plan!

Sun Muyang stared intently into Zhang Xiaofan's eyes, searching for the slightest trace of a tell.

Finally, he chuckled lightly, shifted his hand back toward the left, and said, "Zhang Xiaofan, you're too smart. Being this smart, you must have factored in an extra layer of thinking. Therefore, you definitely anticipated that I would outsmart your suggestion and pick the right one. So, I refuse to do what you expect!"
