Lin Lian didn’t answer at first; he called out to Mu Qiu.
"Sister Mu Qiu, they want some lipstick, should I agree?"
Such matters require her permission, that satisfaction of knowing one can control others spontaneously arises.
No wonder everyone likes to have canaries relying on them.
Mu Qiu curled her lips and nodded, saying, "You decide on what you’ve snatched; just leave me a portion at the end."
Lin Lian then nodded to Bai Shu, "I can give you guys a portion. But in return for the lipstick, you have to give us a share of yours."
Bai Shu waved generously, "No problem... Brother Cheng, any objections?"
"No objections."
He stood behind Mu Qiu, his hand still helping her dry her hair, but he looked up at the other party when he spoke.
Others engage in friendly exchanges outside the game, he is in love both inside and outside the game, it’s unbearable to watch.
Games have winners and losers, but what the game advocates is definitely not just about wins and losses. Everyone amicably agreed to share makeup and ended this segment joyfully.
Next is the points allocation.
The points won in the first round and the points left from this round belong to the team, not individuals. The allocation of points among team members needs to be decided.
Li Yang and Shu Ran are in a group by themselves, this doesn’t require consideration about who’s to allocate the points to. However, allocation for other people is a major issue.
Guan Yu’s team has three people, twenty points from the first round plus six points remaining from this round, totaling twenty-six points.
Shi Yuhuai’s team has two people, ten points from the last round, plus twelve points remaining from this round, totaling twenty-two points, being the group with the least points currently.
Cheng Zhirang’s team has three people, fifty points from the last round plus twenty-two points remaining from this round, totaling seventy-two points.
Mu Qiu’s team has two people, thirty points from the last round plus twenty-four points remaining this round, added with Mu Qiu’s initial points of ten, totaling sixty-four points.
Li Yang has sixty points from the last round plus eighteen points remaining from this round, totaling seventy-eight points.
Shu Ran has forty points from the last round plus thirty-six points remaining from this round, totaling seventy-six points.
The individuals forming a team by themselves are major point holders, both games are beneficial to them, especially the first one, which helped them accumulate many points.
Mu Qiu guesses blindly that the third game will certainly lean more towards team battles.
She sits on the ground with a towel on her head and discusses with Lin Lian.
"How should we allocate? Split evenly?"
Lin Lian glanced towards the director saying, "I think we should first know what the next game is before deciding on the allocation. Sister Mu Qiu, what do you think the next game will be?"
She is the original author, although she hasn’t really utilized her authorship in these episodes, everyone naturally seeks her input when encountering program format speculation problems.
Mu Qiu indeed has a guess: "It might be a pretty intense game of snatching points or something."
"If it’s a game of snatching points, then I’ll take fewer points, I can run fast and they won’t be able to catch me."
"If it’s the usual type of snatch game, then you should take fewer points; I really can’t run too quickly, probably can only hide. But if it’s a special type of snatch game, then that’s another matter."
"Special snatch game?" Lin Lian’s glass-like eyes slightly widened, "What do you mean by special?"
Mu Qiu leaned back with her head resting on Cheng Zhirang’s leg. Cheng Zhirang glanced down at her while continuing his conversation with Xu Cheng.
She reached out to point, comparing one by one: "For instance, snatching with props, or snatching at specified locations, or even between designated personnel."
Lin Lian nodded knowingly: "Then we’ll wait until the third game to allocate."
"Isn’t it better to wait until the third game ends for a total allocation? That way we can control whether the scores are odd or even, enabling us to control team formation on the final stage."
Lin Lian looked at her and just asked one question: "Will the show allow us to freely maneuver?"
Mu Qiu: "No."
"..." So, all that talk was for nothing?
She laughed dryly twice and proposed a contingency plan: "How about we first split into two or three allocation scenarios? If we’re required to allocate immediately later, then we’ll divide evenly."
"Yep, if during the third game allocation, and if it just happens to be the points snatching game, then you take more and I take less. If the allocation can wait till after the game ends, then we’ll discuss it later."
"Good idea, good partnership." She raised her hand, and the two of them clapped hands.
"Brother Cheng, have you finished your discussion?"
Cheng Zhirang reached out and pulled her up: "We’re done discussing. Still allies for the third game, right?"
She shrugged: "That’s not certain. If the game forces us to fight each other; then I have no choice."
"At the very least, we can ensure they won’t instantly turn against us, can’t be dual-faced and harm us."
This guarantee is precarious.
Judging by her personal credibility, she can’t guarantee the second part.
But outwardly, she immediately promised: "Of course! I am a trustworthy person! Even if you don’t trust me, you can trust Lin Lian."
Guan Yu, standing by, eavesdropped, interjected: "Brother Cheng, you’d better not believe them. Don’t lose the game over some sentiments, prioritize the bigger picture."
Cheng Zhirang chuckled: "What if the bigger picture is her?"
Guan Yu: "......Pretend I was never here."
Shu Ran called her from a few people away: "Why are you getting humiliated by going there?"
"It’s all my fault for not clearly understanding the deep tenderness of lovers, my interference disturbed the scene, I’ll leave, I’ll leave if it’s not good enough."
She retreated to stick around with Zhang Lichu, waving at Shi Yuhuai.
"Sister Guan Yu wants to ally with Brother Huai," Mu Qiu said squinting.
Xu Cheng asked, puzzled, "Aren’t they already allied long ago?"
"Perhaps, but theirs is Schrödinger’s alliance."
Bai Shu couldn’t hear clearly: "What, what alliance?"
"Schrödinger’s alliance," Lin Lian briefly explained the Schrödinger’s cat anecdote, saying, "Brother Huai is very strong in combat; if they ally, it’ll surely target us."
Bai Shu: "But there’s still Brother Yang and Sister Shu Ran in front as the prime sniping targets, the most dangerous probably isn’t us."
Mu Qiu pinched the turtle pig, eyes blazing staring at Li Yang and Shu Ran:
"They’re major point holders, everyone zones in on them, especially Brother Huai and Sister Guan Yu. The next game is crucial for them four, determining who will become a fixed NPC in the next episode."
Cheng Zhirang whispered: "Precisely because of this, they’re very likely to team up specifically to snipe us."
"It’s quite likely. But under these circumstances, persuading them is also easier."
Mu Qiu snapped her fingers, aiming in Shu Ran’s direction.
"Even fortified walls have weak spots, not to mention teams that haven’t formed a four-squad alliance. I reckon Sister Shu Ran could foresee the situation more clearly."
