Chapter 170: Do You Nobles Only Drink 19 Yuan a Bottle of Sweet Wine?’

Ning Yu also saw Shi Xi. She nodded slightly and walked to her seat.
After that, the host introduced the rules of the game, but Shi Xi didn’t listen to a single word.
‘Good-for-nothing, why would Ning Yu enter the entertainment industry?’ Shi Xi was flustered.
She wouldn’t be slapped in the face again, right?
System: [Ning Yu participated in this program as a gamer. There was such a plot in the original plot, don’t you remember?]
Shi Xi: ‘…A novel with a few million words, do you really think I memorized it?’
Even though she said that, Shi Xi still tried her best to recall this plot.
Oh ho, it was because of this plot that she couldn’t understand and directly skipped over it.
She didn’t expect this day to come.
The system comforted her: [Don’t worry, you’re not the one Ning Yu wants to slap today.]
Shi Xi: ‘Then who is it?’
[It’s the girl standing next to Ning Yu. Her name is Nan Yi, and she’s also a prospective freshman at the Yanjing University Summer Camp.] The system showed mercy and briefly introduced the plot, [Nan Yi looks down on Ning Yu for coming from a small place and finding fault with her everywhere. In the end, she was completely crushed by Ning Yu.]
As soon as the system finished speaking, Shi Xi heard the sounds of people looking for trouble.
“When drinking red wine, you have to rotate the glass like this to let the fragrance of the wine come out. Then, you can sniff the fragrance of the wine before drinking.” Nan Yi shook the red wine glass in her hand, took a sip of red wine, and looked at Ning Yu scornfully. “A person like you who came from the countryside shouldn’t have the chance to come into contact with such high-end red wine, right?”
Shi Xi watched from the side and thought to herself, ‘Isn’t it good to be alive?’
‘Why do you have to find trouble?’
Ning Yu raised her wine glass and shook it.
Nan Yi’s eyes were filled with disdain as she smiled and said, “It’s not like that.”
Ning Yu raised her eyes slightly and said, “This is Cabernet Sauvignon Rose Red Wine. It’s considered an entry-level sweet wine, 19 per bottle.”
Nan Yi: “??”
Ning Yu chuckled and asked in a puzzled manner, “Do you nobles only drink a 19 yuan bottle of sweet wine?”
Nan Yi: “?!”
After saying that, Ning Yu put the red wine glass aside and turned around to look for clues to the mission. She no longer paid any attention to Nan Yi.
Nan Yi was fuming. She wanted to explain herself to Ning Yu, but she was stopped by her colleague, Senior Yan.
“Nan Yi, have you found any clues?” The senior smiled gently and reminded her that she was still recording.
Nan Yi, who was stopped, took a deep breath. “I was just about to look for it.”
There was no rush to crush Ning Yu.
Shi Xi watched the entire process from the side and gave Ning Yu a cry in her heart.
Her sister was mighty and domineering!
Li Jinfan came over and asked, “Sister Xi, have you found any clues?”
Shi Xi asked, “What clues?”
When the host explained the rules just now, her mind was filled with Ning Yu and she didn’t hear a single word.
Li Jinfan said helplessly, “The twelve of us have to look for clues about the identities of others to use to kill the werewolves behind us.”
“Where do we look for them?” Shi Xi asked directly.
Li Jinfan spread out his hands. “I don’t know.”
Shi Xi: “…” It was more or less the same as what she had said.
Seeing that they were looking around, Shi Xi began to look for clues as well.
Li Jinfan followed beside Shi Xi and said, “Shall we form a team?”
Shi Xi said, “Form a team?”
Li Jinfan nodded. His black and bright eyes were pure and flawless. “I’m a villager. What’s Sister Xi’s identity?”
The villagers were good people and did not have the strength to truss a chicken.
Shi Xi smiled faintly. “Trying to get my identity?”
“No! What I want to say is that if Sister Xi is a god, that would be the best.” Li Jinfan’s eyes were clear. “I can help Sister Xi block a knife.”
Shi Xi’s eyes curved. “What if I’m a wolf?”
Li Jinfan was slightly startled.

Chapter 171: Shi Xi Was Not a Fool

Li Jinfan was stunned for a moment and his smile became even brighter. “If Sister Xi is a werewolf, then I’ll be even more at ease.”
Shi Xi was puzzled. “At ease about what?”
“Sister Xi can’t bear to kill me, right?” Li Jinfan’s eyes were smiling. “And I’m only a villager. I’m not a threat to Sister Xi.”
“What threat? I’m also a villager,” Shi Xi urged. “Hurry up and find the clues.”
There were 12 people in this werewolf game: 4 wolves, 4 gods, and 4 villagers.
The game used the edge-slaughtering mode. If all the werewolves died, the good people would win. If all the gods died, or all the villagers died, then the werewolves would win.
This kind of game was about guessing the identity of the people. Every step was shocking and filled with intrigue.
Shi Xi was no fool, so she naturally did not believe Li Jinfan’s words.
Good people and bad people would not stick to their heads.
However, Li Jinfan insisted on searching for clues with her.
In the end, neither of them found any clues.
That was ridiculous.
The two of them bumped into Pei Jie. Shi Xi asked, “Did you find any clues?”
Pei Jie nodded.
Shi Xi was envious and jealous. “How many clues did you find?”
Pei Jie asked back, “How many clues did you find?”
“None. I don’t even know what the clues look like.” Shi Xi felt hopeless.
Pei Jie took out a card and said, “I found a clue about werewolves.”
Shi Xi and Li Jinfan craned their necks to take a look.
A knight was drawn on the card, walking on the road with an imposing manner.
Li Jinfan looked at the message on the card. “What does this mean?”
Shi Xi’s focus was on asking, “Where did you find it?”
“I found it in the pool.” Pei Jie answered Shi Xi’s question first and then said, “On the back of this card is written about a werewolf. Maybe this werewolf was in the army?”
Shi Xi asked, “Which one of them was in the army?”
Pei Jie shook his head. “I’m not sure.”
This was everyone’s first time participating in this variety show, so they were not familiar with the others.
“Then, ask them during the meeting time.” Shi Xi’s voice had barely faded when the meeting bell rang.
Everyone entered the meeting hall one by one.
Before entering, everyone had to check their identities.
The audience, who were in the omniscient view, saw Shi Xi’s identity: a witch.
The staff member asked, “During the party, Player Number 5 was killed by the werewolves. You have a bottle of antidote. Do you want to use it?”
Shi Xi shook her head. “No.”
Bullet comments: [F*ck! Does Shi Xi know how to play? Number 5 is a seer! Why didn’t she save them?!]
[The werewolves killed the seer blindly. If the stupid witch doesn’t save them, the werewolves will win this round for sure.]
[If Shi Xi doesn’t know how to play, then get lost! Find someone else who knows how to play!]
[What is Shi Xi trying to do? She doesn’t know how to play the game and is dragging her teammates down. She’s really going to get the good guys killed.]
The bullet screen was filled with hostility. Everyone was scolding Shi Xi for not knowing how to play.
The staff member was obviously stunned for a moment. He repeated it and asked, “Are you really not going to save them?” That was the seer, the leader of the good guys!
Shi Xi was certain and said with certainty, “I’m not going to save her! I’m going to use poison to poison Number 11 to death.”
Number 11 was that cannon fodder girl, Nan Yi.
The staff member was shocked. What kind of hatred and resentment was that?
She killed her at the start of the game?
[Is Shi Xi jealous of the Socialite Yan? She poisoned her to death at the start of the game? What basis does she have?]
[This is really baffling. Shi Xi is just fooling around, right?]
[The good guys are done for.]
Shi Xi paused for a moment and decided the life and death of the two of them.
When they reached the conference room, the 12 of them took their seats. The atmosphere was delicate.

Chapter 172: Since Good-For-Nothing Was So Cute, Then You Can Be Good-For-Nothing

A deep and magnificent voice said, “During the happy party time, Player 5 and Player 11 were killed.”
Everyone looked at each other.
“The witch didn’t save anyone on the first night?”
“Both of them died? The witch really knows how to play.”
The man in black stepped forward and took the two away.
The meeting began.
Shi Xi was only a novice. Listening to their arguments, she felt that everyone was good and bad.
‘Dear system, who’s the wolf?’ Shi Xi began to cheat.
The system sneered, [When you don’t need me, you call me good-for-nothing. When you need me, you call me dear system?]
Shi Xi argued, ‘Good-for-nothing is also very cute! It’s round and cute.’
System: [Since good-for-nothing is so cute, then you can be good-for-nothing.]
Shi Xi: ‘…There’s nothing to say.’
She shouldn’t have said that the system was good-for-nothing, even though the system was indeed useless, like a good-for-nothing.
But how could she say it directly? How could she hurt dear system’s heart?
The system said angrily, [I can hear what you’re thinking!]
How could it be good-for-nothing?!
It was just not working actively!
“Player Number 4, please speak.”
It was time for Shi Xi to speak.
Shi Xi forced her intelligence to come back online and said, “Pei Jie found a werewolf information card with a knight walking on the road.”
“Among us, only Brother Dao was a soldier.”
“Another point was that the knight only wore a scabbard on his waist, but he didn’t have a sword. This meant that he wasn’t there to deal with the bloody situation. In other words, the blade didn’t see any blood.”
“After removing the point on the left side of the ‘blade (刃)’, it is Dao (刀).”
“In conclusion, I suspect that Brother Dao is a werewolf. I will vote him out of this round.”
“I’ve finished talking.”
A smooth speech came down. Everyone was surprised when they heard it.
They all thought that Shi Xi was a beautiful vase, but they did not expect that her analysis was so accurate!
This was too strong!
The speech continued, but the people behind confirmed Shi Xi’s thoughts.
In the end, Brother Dao was sent out.
When he was dragged away by the black-clothed man, Brother Dao cried out, “I’m really a good person!!!”
The bullet screen was filled with heartache. [Brother Dao is obviously a villager. Shi Xi Xi is too good at leading the tempo.]
[Is Shi Xi going to kill all the people from the good people camp? She almost killed all three of them.]
[I can’t watch anymore. Shi Xi is really doing whatever she wants in this program.]
Just as everyone was in a frenzy, on the screen, Brother Dao’s profile picture turned gray. And Brother Dao’s identity was revealed: werewolf.
[…]
[Why did the black fans stop jumping? Shi Xi’s analysis wasn’t wrong at all. She sent a wolf away.]
[But I still don’t understand why Shi Xi didn’t save the seer on the first night?]
[Maybe she’s afraid of werewolves committing suicide? But werewolves usually don’t commit suicide, right?]
Everyone discussed animatedly. It was time for the show’s party to look for clues again.
This time, Li Jinfan did not follow Shi Xi.
Shi Xi wandered around and realized that she could not find any clues.
How tragic.
She met Pei Jie at the corner.
Shi Xi asked casually, “Did you find any clues?”
Pei Jie took out two cards from his pocket. “I found two clues.”
Shi Xi: “?!”
Why!
Why could Pei Jie find them but she couldn’t?!
Could it be that clues preferred men?
Shi Xi took the cards indignantly and looked at the information on them.
Green cards represented the information of the villagers. On the other side was a picture with the words “Thinking of falling from a height, holding a ring full.”
Pei Jie asked, “Can you tell what this means?”
Shi Xi sucked in a breath of cold air.

Chapter 173: Tonight’s Target: Shi Xi

“This sentence came from Wei Zheng’s ‘90% Gong Li Quan Ming’.” Shi Xi stared at the words on it and fell into deep thought.
Pei Jie fell silent.
He didn’t understand a single word.
Ever since he signed a contract with the management company, he hadn’t studied culture seriously anymore. If the clues involved these things, then he definitely wouldn’t understand it!
Shi Xi continued, “Although it was written by Wei Zheng, the regular script was written by Ouyang Xunshu and has been passed down to the world… Regular script… Pei Jie, are you a villager?”
Shi Xi directly asked.
Pei Jie did not hide anything and nodded. “Yes.”
Shi Xi flipped through the card. “The program team’s clues are so profound!” She had thought that Pei Jie was a god.
She had not expected him to be a villager.
Bullet comments: [Shi Xi knows so much. I’ve never even heard of this.]
[Shi Xi is a liberal arts student. It’s not strange that she knows this, right?]
[I’m also a liberal arts student. I didn’t know that.]
[Is it difficult to admit someone else’s excellence? Shi Xi has a wide range of knowledge. What’s there to be jealous about?]
[My expression is exactly the same as Pei Jie’s. I’m completely dumbfounded.]
[Hahaha, me too! I can feel Pei Jie’s awkwardness and despair through the screen. What on earth is she talking about? How does she know so much?]
As the director edited this segment, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
This was not how he had set it up in the first place.
The font on the card was ‘regular script’, which implied that Pei Jie was a villager.
It was that simple.
He did not expect that Shi Xi would make such a big detour.
Even more unexpected was that Shi Xi was right!
The camera cut to the other side. The werewolves gathered together to discuss tonight’s target.
Target locked: Shi Xi.
Bullet comments: [How tragic. Shi Xi is a witch and has a bottle of antidote.]
[Why do I feel a little pity for this group of wolves?]
[I’m curious if Shi Xi really knows or not.]
[…]
It was time for the meeting.
There were only nine people left in the original 12 person meeting.
Narrator: “Dear players, during the time of the party just now, Player 2 and Player 12 were killed.”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
“Why are there two more dead? Could it be that the witch has two bottles of poison?”
“Don’t witches use antidotes?”
“How did they die?”
The bullet screen was also filled with shock. This had already exceeded their understanding of the rules of the game.
At the beginning of the speech, everyone had ulterior motives and looked at others with suspicion.
Shi Xi sat up straight and said, “Just now, I found a green card that can prove that Pei Jie is a good person.”
“After that, Pei Jie and I used a Death Note Skill Card to send Number 2 away. Why did we send Number 2 away? Wait for Pei Jie’s explanation.”
Player Number 2: Li Jinfan.
It was Pei Jie’s idea to eliminate Li Jinfan.
From the previous discussions, Pei Jie could tell that Li Jinfan was a wolf, so he did not hesitate to send Li Jinfan away.
The death of player Number 12 was the result of the hunter obtaining the card to activate the skill ahead of time and sending away the innocent, pitiful, simple, and kind villager.
“Let’s continue the party–”
The variety show in the [Werewolf Game] was based on werewolf killing, and many interesting games were added, such as searching for clues and skill cards.
In this mode, the difficulty of the game was deepened.
When she went to look for clues again, Shi Xi sat on the bench and didn’t move.
She couldn’t find them anyway.
She might as well not look.
The camera zoomed out. On the branch opposite the bench, there was a card.
Shi Xi: turn a blind eye.
It was because she really didn’t see it.

Chapter 174: Ning Yu Is a Wolf. Let’s Throw Ning Yu Out!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Bai Cangyang walked over from the side. At 1.85 meters tall, he saw the card on the tree and reached out to take it down.
Shi Xi was dumbfounded.
What happened just now?
Was there a card on that tree?
The bullet screen was filled with laughter:
[Shi Xi is starting to doubt life. Why didn’t she see it? She’s been sitting here for five minutes already.]
[Even if she saw it, it’s useless. Shi Xi can’t reach it. Hahaha!]
[Bai Cangyang is really tall and handsome. I love him so much!]
[…]
After Bai Cangyang received the card, he looked at Shi Xi and smiled. “Nice to meet you, Teacher Shi Xi.”
Shi Xi endured the humiliation and stood up to ask, “What clues are written on the card?”
Bai Cangyang looked at the introduction on the card and said, “This is a skill card. It can 100% identify a player’s identity.”
The skill of a prophet could only determine whether a player was good or bad.
And the identification skill could know the specific identity of the player, which was more beneficial to the werewolf.
Shi Xi asked, “Then who do you want to investigate?”
Bai Cangyang looked at Shi Xi and said embarrassedly, “I think Teacher Shi Xi looks like a werewolf. I’m going to investigate Teacher Shi Xi’s identity.”
Shi Xi said, “It would be a waste to check my identity. Let’s find someone who looks like a werewolf.”
She was a good citizen.
Bai Cangyang added, “Then, let’s check Pei Jie.”
Shi Xi said, “Pei Jie is also a good person.”
Bai Cangyang said, “…Teacher Shi Xi, if you say that, it’ll make me think that all of you are wolves. You’re protecting each other and don’t want me to check your identities.”
Shi Xi sat back down and said, “Hey, feel free to check.”
It was Bai Cangyang who found the card anyway.
Bai Cangyang asked, “Teacher Shi Xi, do you want to go with me to check the results?”
Shi Xi: “If you want to check on Pei Jie, then I won’t go.”
She had already confirmed that Pei Jie was a villager, so there was no need for her to go with him.
“Who does Teacher Shi Xi want to check on?” Bai Cangyang asked. “Who do you think looks like a wolf?”
Shi Xi thought back to the statements made by everyone during the two meetings.
What the h*ll was she thinking about!
She wasn’t paying attention at all!
Shi Xi sighed. “Just look up anyone.”
It didn’t matter to anyone.
Could she say that she didn’t even recognize the 12 people?
Bai Cangyang’s fingertips turned the card around, but he still insisted on his own thoughts. “Then I’ll go investigate Pei Jie.”
Hearing his words, Shi Xi did not move at all.
Forget it, it did not matter if he won or lost.
Let someone with brains play.
She, a player without brains, would just wait for her death quietly.
Third meeting.
After everyone took their seats, the announcement sounded:
“During this party, Player Number 8 and Player Number 10 died.”
The men in black went up and brought the two players away.
The announcement sounded again, “During this party, the player used a Resurrection Card and successfully resurrected Player Number 11.”
“Player Number 11, please go on stage!”
A cheerful background music sounded. Nan Yi walked in with light steps and gently waved to everyone on stage, “I’m back!”
Shi Xi was so shocked that she sat up straight.
She was poisoned to death, but she could still be resurrected???
That was ridiculous!!
Moreover, if she could be resurrected, then so be it. Why did they have to resurrect this useless thing?
Shi Xi had nothing left to live for.
Nan Yi sat down with a smile on her face, her face beaming with joy.
The voice of the broadcast rang out. “The participants for this meeting are all here. The meeting begins!”
Nan Yi began to speak.
Nan Yi sat up straight and said righteously, “Ning Yu is a wolf!”
“She has a grudge against me, so the first night I was killed, she must have done it!
“In this round, we’ll vote Ning Yu out!”

Chapter 175: Poison Is Good. I’m Willing To Pay For Another Bottle of Poison For Her!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After listening to Nan Yi’s speech, everyone had different expressions.
Shi Xi leaned against the back of her chair and was extremely speechless.
She did not expect this cannon fodder to be even worse at playing than her.
The bullet screen was also filled with confusion. [This young lady doesn’t know how to play, right?]
[Shouldn’t we find people who understand the rules to participate in the game? As soon as this woman opened her mouth, we could tell that she doesn’t know how to play!]
[To think that I felt sorry for her just now. I feel it’s not unjust for Shi Xi to poison her to death.]
[Shi Xi’s poison is good. I’m willing to fork out money to buy her another bottle of poison!]
[…]
Although the audience had a god’s perspective, they wouldn’t be able to see everyone’s identity.
The program team would edit it rationally to keep everyone’s appetite in check.
For example, when the seer was killed, Shi Xi didn’t save them. Instead, she poisoned Nan Yi to death. The program team made their identities clear, showing the game from the perspective of a good person.
As for the werewolf’s identity, it would only be revealed after they were eliminated.
After Nan Yi finished speaking, it was Ning Yu’s turn to speak.
Ning Yu’s eyes were indifferent as she calmly analyzed the situation on the stage. “Those who get the Resurrection Card are players. If they are from the good side, they will revive the seer, which is Player Number 2.”
“If the werewolves get the Resurrection Card, they will definitely resurrect their companions. Just now, Nan Yi didn’t mention her identity. I suspect that Nan Yi was resurrected by her werewolf companions.”
“My identity is a hunter. If you insist on voting for me in this round, then I will shoot and take Nan Yi away.”
Ning Yu calmly spoke, gaining the trust of the players behind her.
The identity of a hunter was something that a werewolf could not pretend to be.
This was because after a hunter was eliminated, they could shoot to eliminate a player, but they could only shoot this one time.
The players who were eliminated previously did not shoot, which meant that the hunter was still on the field.
After Ning Yu spoke, no hunter jumped out, which meant that the hunter was Ning Yu.
It was time for Shi Xi to speak.
Shi Xi twirled the pen in her hand and said lazily, “I didn’t get any clues about the werewolves this round. Let’s see if there are any hunters fighting against each other.”
“Also, Bai Cangyang got an Identification Card. I want to know the results of his investigation.”
Everyone’s eyes fell on Bai Cangyang again.
When it was Bai Cangyang’s turn, Bai Cangyang swept his gaze over and said, “The person I chose to investigate is Pei Jie. He’s a good person.”
Bai Cangyang sent Pei Jie a good person card.
Shi Xi’s rotating pen stopped for a moment before she continued to rotate the pen again, waiting for the final vote.
Nan Yi voted for Ning Yu.
The others all voted for Nan Yi.
Nan Yi was eliminated the moment she was resurrected.
On the screen, Nan Yi’s head had just turned bright-colored when it turned dark again.
Bullet comments: [This woman doesn’t know how to play. She’s just giving her head away.]
[Is it okay to step on the hunter directly? That’s hilarious.]
[As expected, the damage comes from comparison. With such a comparison, Shi Xi is much more normal.]
[Ah! Ah! Ah! Who are the remaining two wolves?! It feels like everyone is a wolf!]
[Number 7 is definitely a wolf. Qin Coco has always been hidden, so she must be a wolf.]
[Ah, it feels like Coco is from the good guys’ camp.]
[…]
The comments on the bullet screen went wild, and the game continued.
Shi Xi analyzed the situation on the field. There were only five people left in the game.
And there were probably two wolves inside!
In that case, they had to find a skill card and eliminate one wolf.
Otherwise, if the werewolves killed one at night and threw one out during the day, they would definitely win!
Shi Xi tried hard to find the card, but they were clearly playing in the same scenario, yet she didn’t get a single card!
This was ridiculous!
Shi Xi went straight to Pei Jie, wanting to ask him what he had found and what cards he had found.
Among the remaining players, she could only confirm Pei Jie’s identity.
Pei Jie did not trust Shi Xi.
