Running Man: Female MC causing trouble? I don't take the pressure!

"This is... a quagmire?!"

We arrived at the location for the third game—Jiangcheng Park.

What the MCs saw was a familiar quagmire.

Unlike before, this mud pit is octagonal, resembling an open-air octagonal cage.

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have washed my hair."

Li Chen shook his half-dry hair, his expression somewhat bitter.

"Uncle Chen, you've got it all figured out. Sister Lu and I even touched up our makeup." Song Yuqi's tone carried a faint sense of death.

Zheng Kai: "Luckily, I didn't shave my head right now."

Li Chen stepped forward to take the task card and read its contents aloud.

Treasure Hunt in the Mud

Before their sacrifice, the Black Serpent Group's agents hid clues about Agent Zero inside a treasure trove, which they then buried beneath the mud.

Players need to follow the signs on the flags in the mud pit to find the treasure and place it in the designated location to obtain it.

The game consists of two rounds; the person who obtains the treasure wins.

"So we're going to go treasure hunting, right?"

Li Chen put down the mission card and asked, "What tools should we use to dig?"

Yao responded one day: "With my hands."

Bai Lu's mouth dropped open: "This mud is so dirty, you can't dig it with your hands?"

"Don't worry, the treasure won't be buried very deep; it'll be easy to dig up," Yao Yitian explained.

Song Yuqi asked curiously, "What does that treasure look like?"

Yao Yitian: "We'll know once we dig it up."

Song Yuqi: "............."

The MCs changed into their mud pit game outfits and then stood at the starting point.

The flags were planted in a neat and orderly fashion on the mud.

"I think the production team might put the treasure in some remote, hidden place," Sha Yi speculated.

Li Chen nodded: "I also think it's impossible to put it in such an easy-to-find place as the middle."

"But the corners and outcrops are closer to the delivery point, aren't they?" Zhang Zhenyuan asked, puzzled.

"You don't understand," Zheng Kai explained. "The production team just doesn't follow the rules."

"I'll give it to you when I find the treasure."

Bai Lu came to Chen Mo's side and nudged him with her elbow.

Chen Mo glanced at him, then moved to the left: "I don't want to."

"What are you afraid of?" Bai Lu leaned closer and said, "Remember to give it to me when you find it."

Chen Mo's appeal upheld the original verdict: "I don't want it."

Bai Lu just thought he was being arrogant, saying one thing but meaning another: "It's settled then!"

[Beep!!!]

[Game Start!]

As soon as the whistle blew and Yao Yitian finished speaking, all the MCs got into action and rushed into the mud pit.

The mud was wet and soft; after just a few steps, my lower body was covered in mud.

Zhang Zhenyuan went straight to the right side, while Song Yuqi went to the left side to search.

Sha Yi and Li Chen, who had just been clamoring that the production team might have buried the treasure in some hidden corner, ran towards the flag in the center.

Zheng Kai didn't rush to dig for treasure; instead, he lingered nearby, waiting for his prey to appear.

Chen Mo did the same; his idea was to wait for others to dig it up before pouncing on it and grabbing it, which would be more efficient.

"What are you two doing?" Bai Lu asked suspiciously when she saw Chen Mo and Zheng Kai standing together.

Zheng Kai: "Why are you bothering with us? Go ahead and dig."

"Don't try to steal mine!" Bai Lu became very wary.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Your name isn't on the treasure."

Bai Lu: ".........."

One by one, the flags were pulled down.

Song Yuqi dug very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, her fair hands were covered in dirty mud, but she didn't care and kept her attention on the situation under the mud.

Li Chen displayed the ferocity of a black bull, hollowing out a clod of earth in no time, like a human excavator.

Sha Yi strolled leisurely, digging for a long time before finally unearthing three or four flags.

After digging up all the flags on the right side, Zhang Zhenyuan found it empty and couldn't help but complain, "I've been tricked!"

The area got smaller and smaller, and soon shrank to a fan-shaped region.

Just then.

Bai Lu suddenly shouted, "I found it!"

She held up an object high, which turned out to be a doll that was a one-to-one replica of her.

"The treasure is a Bai Lu doll?!" Zheng Kai exclaimed in surprise. "Is the head of the Black Serpent Group secretly in love with Bai Lu?"

"Hurry up and grab it!" Li Chen didn't hesitate and charged at Bai Lu, knocking her into the mud.

Bai Luhua's face paled, and she struggled desperately: "Ahhh! Chen Mo, come save me!"

Zheng Kai made a move.

Chen Mo also moved.

He jumped up and tackled Zheng Kai, smearing mud on his face: "Brother Kai, why don't you do a spa treatment first?"

"Ptooey, ptooey, Xiao Mo, ptooey, ptooey!" Zheng Kai's vision blurred instantly, and he lay in the mud and spat out the mud that had fallen into his mouth.

On the other side, Zhang Zhenyuan and Song Yuqi also joined the battle.

"No! Don't take my treasure!" Bai Lu shouted hoarsely, but the doll still gradually slipped from her hand and fell into Song Yuqi's hands.

Upon seeing this.

Bai Lu scooped up a clump of mud and smeared it on her face.

"Mmm!"

As Song Yuqi lost sight, her hand loosened, and she went to wipe the mud off her face.

Just then.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Chen snatched the doll away from Zhang Zhenyuan.

Swish!

He immediately turned and ran towards the pool where the treasures were placed.

Tap tap tap tap tap—

Chen Mo rushed towards Li Chen like lightning, leaping up and grabbing his neck, pulling him backward.

Li Chen lost his balance and was pulled down, but the doll in his hand was pulled into his arms.

Chen Mo lunged at him from behind to grab it, and the situation became tense for a moment.

At this time.

The leisurely sandy breeze crept over.

Seizing the opening during their struggle, he made his move!

Lunge! Crawl! Reach out!

The movements were fluid and seamless, executed in one go!

Then Zheng Kai stacked them up and pressed them into the mud.

"Puff puff puff!" Sha Yi struggled and shouted, "You must respect and care for the young!"

"Why don't you get a spa treatment, Sha-ge?"

Zheng Kai scooped up the mud with both hands and smeared it on Sha Yi's face, giving him a mud-like skincare mask.

Sha Yi pursed her lips tightly, afraid to speak, lest she eat mud if she opened her mouth.

Taking advantage of the moment when the other person's grip loosened, Zheng Kai snatched the doll from under his arm and then quickly got up and ran towards where it was placed.

Who would have thought?

Suddenly, a figure rushed over, grabbed his leg, and knocked him to the ground.

With half of Zheng Kai's body soaked in mud and somewhat dazed, Song Yuqi reached out to snatch the doll.

"Brother Kai! Hahaha!"

"No, Xiao Mo, come quick!"

Words spoken at the beginning of the day were followed by later ones.

Just as Song Yuqi was about to snatch the doll away, Chen Mo appeared.

He laughed as he smeared mud on Song Yuqi's neck and chin.

Song Yuqi shrank her neck from the tickling, gradually losing her resistance to the onslaught of tickling.

Zheng Kai: "Yuqi, do you like getting spa treatments?"

Song Yuqi: "Ugh! (I don't like it!)"

The doll thus fell into Chen Mo's hands.

Just then, a sound came from the shore.

"Chen Mo, over here!"

Bai Lu had arrived at the place without anyone noticing. Seeing that Chen Mo had the doll, she couldn't wait for him to hand it over to her.

Chen Mo came to the shore, and Bai Lu bent down and reached out her hand to him.

When Chen Mo grasped her hand, he pulled it down with a slight movement.

"what!"

Bai Lu lost her balance and fell headfirst into the mud, splashing up a large amount of mud.

Chen Mo walked to the placement area without blushing or skipping a beat and put the doll into the pool.

—【Recognition successful!】

Beep!!!

The whistle blew, and the first round ended.

Chen Mo obtained the treasure, so Chen Mo won this round.

"Chen Mo!"

Bai Lu climbed out of the mud puddle and demanded irritably, "Why didn't you give me the doll?!"

Chen Mo calmly asked, "Why should I give it to you?"

"We agreed that if I found it, I'd give it to you, and if you found it, you'd give it to me. Have you forgotten?"

Bai Lu helps Chen Mo recall.

Chen Mo replied, "I didn't agree to that."

"You..." Bai Lu opened her mouth, choked, "But I just gave it to you too!"

"I snatched it from Yuqi, it's not like you gave it to me," Chen Mo said with a shrug.

Bai Lu: ".........."

indeed.

The doll passed from her hands to Li Chen's hands, then to Sha Yi's hands, then to Zheng Kai's hands, then to Song Yuqi's hands, and finally to Chen Mo's hands.

They were separated by a distance of 108,000 li.

"But I found it first!" Bai Lu argued.

Chen Mo shrugged: "Whose fault is it that it was stolen?"

Bai Lu: ".........."
