Chapter 859: Killing Three Birds with One Stone

Wang Yun reached out and patted Big Mouth on the shoulder in reassurance.

Colin looked at Wang Yun, then at Big Mouth, before lowering his head in shame.

“I’m sorry. I just saw that you were last season’s winner, so I figured your fighting skills had to be very good.”

Hearing that only made Big Mouth explode even more.

“You figured? What good does that do? If you can figure that much, then why didn’t you figure you could beat that guy yourself?”

Although Colin had just saved the two of them, at worst, getting caught in this show would only mean elimination.

But fighting in that match was different.

That was the kind of thing that could get a person killed.

There was no way Big Mouth would agree to let Wang Yun take that kind of risk.

Wang Yun’s livestream chat also blew up.

“What the hell is wrong with this guy? He doesn’t dare go himself, so he wants our big brother to go instead?!”

“This guy is so shady. So the only reason he saved Big Bro was to make him fight in his place!”

“Pah! How can this Colin guy be so shameless?!”

“Exactly! He says he got tricked by that boss, but how is what he’s doing any different?”

“Right! Birds of a feather really do flock together!”

“Someone come lock this guy together with that boss!”

“Just let them stay together forever. That’d be perfect!”

“Big Bro, whatever you do, don’t be stupid at a time like this!”

“Yeah, yeah! Big Bro, don’t agree to that petty bastard!”

“He offers a tiny bit of help, then expects our big brother to risk his life for him? What a scheme!”

“Putting it bluntly, he’s just shameless!”

While the livestream was filled with condemnation, Wang Yun patted Big Mouth again, signaling for him to calm down. Then, with a completely composed expression, he looked at Colin, who still had his head lowered in shame.

“There’s no need to feel embarrassed. You saved Big Mouth and me, so I’ll help you once. Let’s call it even.”

“But—”

Big Mouth still wanted to say something, but Wang Yun shot him a look, and he did not dare continue.

Colin suddenly raised his head and stared at Wang Yun, his face full of disbelief.

“Y-you… are you serious?”

Wang Yun nodded.

“But I still need to think it through. For now, don’t tell anyone about this.”

Colin hesitated.

“But what about Baren—”

“Don’t worry. I’ll handle Baren myself. He doesn’t care about any particular person. What he wants is a win.”

Colin fell silent for a moment, then nodded hard.

“All right. Then I’ll be counting on you. You two can rest here for the next few days. I’ll go get you something to eat.”

Wang Yun nodded.

Keeping his head lowered, Colin walked out, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.

At that moment, Wang Yun’s shock points were rising rapidly.

A smile appeared on his face.

Big Mouth waited for a while, and only after making sure Colin had gone far enough did he turn to Wang Yun in confusion.

“Boss, why did you agree to this? It’s such a dangerous match. Why do you want to take part?”

Wang Yun let out a low sigh.

“Sigh… he did just help us, after all.”

Big Mouth asked in confusion, “But helping us wasn’t really dangerous for him. He could’ve just taken the money…”

Wang Yun flicked Big Mouth hard on the forehead.

“Even if this is just a show for us, he still took the risk of being caught to save us. Besides, don’t you trust your boss’s skills?”

Wang Yun grinned teasingly, even raising an arm and striking a muscle-flexing pose.

Big Mouth was amused in spite of himself, and only then did his tense mood finally ease a little.

Wang Yun then continued explaining to him in a more serious tone.

“You know what I’m capable of. That man definitely can’t beat me. But if Colin goes, he could very well lose his life.”

Big Mouth looked discouraged.

“I know, but what if something happens to you?”

Wang Yun gave him a mysterious smile.

“Relax. I’ll be fine. I’m confident I can win.”

Big Mouth could not help rolling his eyes at his boss.

Meanwhile, after hearing Wang Yun’s explanation, the viewers in the livestream were stunned by his selflessness.

“Ahhh! My big brother is way too cool!”

“I’m still worried about Big Bro, but this is seriously so cool!!!”

“Being a fan of Big Bro means never worrying he’ll let you down!”

“This is what real self-sacrifice for others looks like!”

“A living Lei Feng of the modern era! Love him, love him!”

“Wait, what did I just hear??? Big Bro is actually going to take part in such a dangerous match?!”

“But why am I secretly getting a little excited?”

“The person above me, you are not alone!”

“I can’t take it anymore, I’m going to cry. Big Bro is really too kind!”

“Wuwuwu… this isn’t an escape show at all. It’s clearly Big Bro’s redemption show!”

As the viewers in the livestream discussed things heatedly, Wang Yun’s shock points began rising at an astonishing speed. They were quickly making up for the deficit from the skills he had exchanged for over the past few days.

Wang Yun watched the steadily increasing shock points with satisfaction.

A plan was already taking shape in his mind.

He was thinking about how to enter this match, save Colin, heal Big Mouth at the same time, and, if possible, win the prize money as well.

Killing three birds with one stone.

Big Mouth looked at his boss deep in thought and, reading the room, wisely chose not to disturb him. Instead, he waited quietly to the side.
