The only SSSS-level fertility constitution in the entire interstellar space

Lin Shen met Xie Linyu's distinctive eyes and immediately understood what he wanted: "Never mind then, Brother Xie, you should find someone else."

A hint of surprise flashed in Xie Linyu's eyes. He hadn't expected this kid to have such backbone, able to refuse temptation so decisively.

"Kobayashi, are you sure you don't want it? There might actually be two badges there, or are you worried I'm lying to you?"

"It's not that I should thank you, brother. I was just thinking that you asked me for such a good thing, but I don't have anything to repay you with. I shouldn't take advantage of you." Lin Shen thought to himself, even though he thought this way, he couldn't say it.

Xie Linyu thought this kid was really cunning, but it didn't matter: "Didn't you just find a clue? Let's share it, and then we'll each rely on our own abilities, how about that?"

Since pretense won't work, let's just be upfront about it.

Lin Shen looked at Xie Linyu's undisguised smile and never expected him to be so shameless.

Seeing the subtle expression on Lin Shen's handsome face, Xie Linyu felt even more excited.

He leaned lazily against the corridor wall, one hand in his pocket, his deep blue eyes filled with a genuine and harmless smile.

"Xiaolin, this is a fair trade, resource sharing, mutual benefit, isn't that great?"

Lin Shen's gaze lingered on Xie Linyu's face for a few seconds.

This actor, Xie, is known in the industry as someone who is not to be trifled with, but he usually maintains a certain aloof persona. How come he's acting like a scoundrel at a time like this?

But Lin Shen also knew that since Xie Linyu had put it this way, it would be rude of him to refuse.

"Since Brother Xie has said so, it wouldn't be right for me to refuse." Lin Shen took out the note from his pocket, but didn't hand it over immediately. Instead, he asked, "Brother Xie, are you sure about the clues on your end that involve two badges?"

"I can't guarantee that, but if there's even one, I won't need your own clues," Xie Linyu said sincerely.

Seeing that his expression didn't seem fake, Lin Shen chose to believe him and nodded: "Alright."

After saying that, he handed the note to Xie Linyu.

To everyone's surprise, Xie Linyu snatched it away, turned and ran, without even a second's hesitation.

Lin Shen was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had been tricked. There were no two badges at all. Xie Linyu had tricked him out of nothing, and his purpose from the beginning was to get the information he had.

"Brother Xie, you bastard!" By the time Lin Shen came to his senses and chased after him, Xie Linyu had already disappeared.

Lin Shen immediately changed direction and ran towards the location of the clues; Xie Linyu must have already gone there.

He never expected that Xie Linyu, a cold and aloof movie star, would be so uninhibited on the show.

He's not worried about losing fans after the show airs!

Xie Linyu is truly ruthless in his pursuit of victory!

Just as Lin Shen had thought, Xie Linyu had already arrived at the place recorded on the note and ran all the way to the third floor on the east side of the castle.

He stopped in front of the ordinary wooden door, reached out and pushed it; it was indeed locked.

"The key?" He frowned and looked at the note more carefully. Apart from the location markings, there was no information about the key.

Xie Linyu suddenly had a bad feeling.

He looked at the wooden door again. He had thought the chessboard on the door was just decoration, but now it seemed that it wasn't. Could it be some kind of mechanism?

Thinking about those hidden doors in the castle, it's probably the castle owner's perverse sense of humor.

Xie Linyu approached the wooden door and carefully examined the chessboard on it.

This is a chessboard about 30 centimeters square, inlaid in the center of the door panel. The chessboard lines are clear, but there are corresponding wear marks on the top, bottom, left and right corners.

Although he knew a little about Go, he was far from being an expert. However, he reached out and tried to move the black and white stones to the four corners. After a series of clicks, the wooden door opened in front of him.

Xie Linyu immediately laughed; he really was a genius.

Without delay, Xie Linyu went straight in. In the center of the room, which was about 10 square meters, there were two wooden boxes.

A look of surprise flashed in Xie Linyu's eyes. There were actually two!

He quickly walked over, picked them up, and after confirming that there were indeed badges inside, Xie Linyu took the badges away, leaving the box behind.

After doing all this, just as I was about to turn around, I heard a noise behind me. It must be Lin Shen coming over.

Xie Linyu turned around, opened the wardrobe in the corner, and crawled inside.

Just as Xie Linyu closed the wardrobe door, Lin Shen pushed the door open and walked in.

Through the gap in the wardrobe, Xie Linyu saw Lin Shen stand in the center of the room and then head straight for the wooden box on the table.

The moment I picked it up, my face darkened. The weight was wrong!

Undeterred, he opened it to check, and it was completely empty!

Lin Shen tossed the wooden box aside and was about to leave when a notification sounded: "Challenge triggered. Within one minute, say 30 words related to 'love.' Success allows you to leave; failure requires you to try again."

Lin Shen was so angry he wanted to curse. His things had been stolen, and he still had to complete the challenge here. If he hadn't been rational enough to know that this was a TV show being filmed, he really would have sworn out!

Xie Linyu, hiding in the closet, saw this scene through the crack and almost burst out laughing.

Lin Shen stood in the center of the room, his expression shifting several times. Finally, he resignedly took a breath and began rapidly reciting the words: "Love, lover, romance, fondness, passion, tenderness, affection, friendship, dear, beloved, adorable..."

Xie Linyu silently counted them for him in the closet; there were eleven now.

"Admiration, affection, love, tenderness, cherishing, protecting, respecting, caressing, pity, affectionate terms of endearment..."

I'm twenty-one now.

Lin Shen spoke faster and faster, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Love nest, lovers, Cupid, river of love, fire of love, love and hate, lust, love of beauty..."

Twenty-nine!

Xie Linyu held his breath.

"Love—" Lin Shen stammered.

The countdown timer has started: "3, 2..."

"Love me, love my dog!" Lin Shen finally managed to squeeze out the last word at the last second.

"Challenge successful." The notification sounded, and the wooden door clicked open.

Lin Shen didn't linger for a second, opened the door and strode out.

Xie Linyu stood there for two seconds before coming out of the closet. He pulled five badges from his pocket: "Should I go rescue the 'Princess' now?"

As his voice rang out, another notification sounded. This time it was a channel-wide announcement: "Notification: Someone has collected 5 badges and is on their way to rescue the 'Princess.' Others can initiate an interception. Successfully stopping the rescue will earn you a badge reward."

Upon hearing this, Xie Linyu's expression immediately changed: "The production team did this on purpose, didn't they!"

The bad news is that there was some interception, but the good news is that the production team didn't reveal his name directly, so there's still a chance!
